5 Things You Might Not Know About David Lean's 'Lawrence Of Arabia'
18 May 2012 12:12 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Is there a greater film than "Lawrence of Arabia?" Perhaps. There are certainly few longer ones, or few that are more epic and sweeping in their scope (thanks to the timeless Panavision 70 photography by Freddie Young). But even if the film isn't your absolute favorite, it is the number one of many, including Steven Spielberg, who credits the picture with making him want to be a filmmaker.
David Lean's tale of T.E. Lawrence's adventures in Arabia in World War I is fifty years old this year, and ahead of a brand-spanking-new Blu-ray release next month, a glorious new 4K restoration of the film is screening at Cannes tomorrow night. To mark the occasion, as well as the anniversary of the death of Lawrence himself, who died 77 years ago tomorrow, we've assembled five things you might not know about Lean's unassailable classic.

Trailer: Argo
8 May 2012 12:52 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
The third movie that Ben Affeck has directed now has its first trailer. Argo is the title of the film, and it tells the story of how a young CIA agent hatched a crazy plan to get 6 rescued Americans out of Iran during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979. And it involves Hollywood and Star Wars, in a kind of roundabout way.
Y'see, back in the late 1970s the world was caught up in Star Wars fever. Everyone was talking about the decade's biggest movie, and Hollywood producers were drooling to be the ones that discovered the next Star Wars. That's why it wasn't so crazy for Iranian security to allow a "film crew" to come in to Iran and scout locations for Argo, a big budget sci-fi movie that was going to film inside the country. Using guile, ingenuity and courage, the plan was a success and the six American »

'A Streetcar Named Desire': 25 Things You Didn't Know About The Marlon Brando Movie
10 April 2012 9:42 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Hey, Stellaaaaa! Fire up the Blu-ray player! 1951's "A Streetcar Named Desire" marked the 60th anniversary of its release last September. Now, seven months later, fans will have the opportunity to relive the classic flick with a special-edition Blu-ray release. That's as good an excuse as any to revisit this landmark film, which opened up Hollywood to movies with strictly adult content and -- thanks to Marlon Brando's legendary performance -- Method acting. The film forced the medium into a new, raw, emotional, mature kind of expression, and, six decades later, it has lost none of its power to shock and astonish. Of course, what went on behind the scenes of the steamy Southern story was nearly as dramatic as the on-screen tale. Read on for more about the film's casting (can you imagine Bette Davis as Blanche?), Vivien Leigh's witty takedown of director Elia Kazan, and the »

Review: Tarzan Season One
5 April 2012 10:22 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
September 8, 1966 was a pretty big night of television for fans of the fantastic. NBC ran a sneak peek of several new shows a week prior to the formal premiere of the prime time season. At 7:30, Ron Ely first swung on a vine across trees as Tarzan while an hour later, Captain James T. Kirk confronted the Salt Vampire on the first airing of Star Trek. While the latter has gone on to great international fame, the former series has always been somewhat eclipsed.
Warner Archive, bless their souls, has rectified that by releasing the complete first season of the two season series. You can find the first fifteen episodes on four discs comprising Tarzan Season One, Volume One while the remaining sixteen episodes are available in the second volume. Warner has done a nice job cleaning the prints and the show looks pretty darn good.

Dan Lybarger: A Human Dimension: Anne Serling Remembers Her Father, Rod
8 February 2012 12:27 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Like a lot of people, I've adored watching reruns of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and waited eagerly to hear the writer-producer-host's voice informing us that something eerily unexpected was about to happen. With his well-fitting suits and unsettlingly calm delivery, it seemed as if Serling was almost marveling at his ability to shock both his characters and his viewers.
If most of us knew him as a suave presence on the small screen, his daughter Anne has a far different memory of the man who wrote insightful and gut-wrenching television plays like Patterns and Requiem for a Heavyweight and the who adapted Seven Days in May and Planet of the Apes. Her genial father is sometimes tricky to reconcile with his sometimes grim public persona.
Serling was only 50 when he died in 1975, and his daughter was only 20. Nonetheless, the younger Serling has astonishingly vivid recollections of him and »
