Review: Torso (Blu-ray)

26 May 2012 10:21 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

A mysterious killer is stalking female students at an international university in Perugia, Italy. As the body count rises, every male character the camera comes across seems to become a suspect.

Suzy Kendall plays Jane, a beautiful coed with a collection of equally attractive friends from all over the globe. To get out of dodge, the girls who are left, and don’t seem terribly affected by the deaths of their friends, decide to go stay at a remote villa for vacation.

As per usual with most post-The Bird with the Crystal Plumage gialli, the focus is on naked women and the death scenes. What makes this one stand apart is that it has a murder mystery that at works at times. Throw these girls into peril, combine a young doctor, a delivery boy at the villa, and a strange college professor, and you’ve got a cast fit for »

Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 1 of 5)

23 May 2012 12:39 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

With the Academy Awards for the 2011 film year in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to take a look at one of the event’s most consistently fascinating categories: Best Supporting Actor. The most interesting story in the category this year isn’t who got nominated, it’s who didn’t. More specifically, Albert Brooks was completely robbed of a nomination for his performance as film producer turned lethal gangster Bernie Rose in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.

As much as I’d like to say I was surprised by this, considering both the quality of performance and Brooks’ slew of nominations from other critical circles, in light of the Academy’s history of overlooking outstanding supporting performances, I simply can’t.

Following is a chronological look at a number of performances richly deserving of a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination.

In some cases, the performances are in films »

Movie Review: 'The Aggression Scale'

11 March 2012 5:35 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

Horror fans are well-versed in the "home invasion" sub-section of the horror shelves these days, and even without classics like Wait Until Dark and Straw Dogs we'd still have plenty of recent reminders like Them, The Strangers, and (of course) the remake of Straw Dogs. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Film festivals and horror shelves are all but awash with thrillers in which a safe place is invaded by mysterious invaders with malicious intent. Being lost in the woods is one kind of scary; having your safe little home attacked by murderers is a different story altogether. Rooted firmly in the home invasion territory is Steven Miller's The Aggression Scale, which is certainly one of the more »

Richard Carpenter obituary

5 March 2012 5:45 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

Actor and children's television writer known for Catweazle, Robin of Sherwood and The Borrowers

Richard Carpenter, who has died of a blood clot aged 82, brought intelligent, imaginative entertainment to generations of young television viewers through the fantasy series he created. After almost two decades as an actor, he found his first success as a writer with Catweazle (1970-71), starring Geoffrey Bayldon as a dishevelled, eccentric, 11th-century magician transported to the 20th century. Comic misunderstandings were mixed with slapstick as Catweazle befriended a farmer's son, Carrot (played by Robin Davies), who unravelled for him modern-day mysteries such as "electrickery" and the "telling-bone".

In the second series, Carpenter had Catweazle searching for symbols of the 13 signs of the Magic Zodiac and being taken in by another boy, Cedric (Gary Warren), at his parents' country estate. "I've always been interested in the person who is outside society," said Carpenter in a 1990 interview with the magazine Time Screen. »

Now, Life.com has a look back at that night and many other glamorous moments from Oscars' past in a new gallery.

Watch Three Clips of Selma Blair and Amy Smart in 'Columbus Circle'

24 February 2012 10:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

I've always been a sucker for a thriller whose protagonist suffers from some sort of handicap, be it physical or psychological, that prevents them from fully integrating into society. Especially since the subgenre has produced classics like Rear Window, Vertigo, and Wait Until Dark. There's a new movie operating in this tradition that makes its Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Download, and On Demand debut on March 6, 2012 from Universal Home Entertainment -- Columbus Circle. It stars Selma Blair as an agoraphobic heiress who's forced to step outside her apartment when her neighbors, played by Amy Smart and Jason Lee, start getting way out of hand. The film's all-star cast is rounded out by Giovanni Ribisi, Beau Bridges and Kevin »

Scorsese & Tarantino: Whose Streets Are Meaner?

28 January 2012 11:56 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

I’ve got Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino on my mind these days.  It’s a product of the end-of-year hurrahs for Scorsese’s Hugo.  The film goes into the Academy Award ceremonies with 11 Oscar nominations – the most of any film this year – including a Best Director nod for Scorsese.  Win or lose, Marty’s on a roll having already taken a Golden Globe for his work on the film, and selection as Best Director by the National Board of Review (the Board also named Hugo Best Picture).  And that doesn’t include the film’s placing on any number of critic’s Year’s Best lists. 

What does all this have to do with Tarantino?  It brings to mind a statement the younger filmmaker had made about Scorsese some years ago.

They’ve always been linked, these two.  Tarantino had been anointed by more than a few as “the »
