Cannes Review: 'Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir' A Fascinating Look At The Director As Told By The Man Himself
20 May 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Who is Roman Polanski? That's the question at the center of "Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir," a deeply fascinating look at the life and (sort of) career of the controversial filmmaker as told by the man himself. But this isn't a hagiography -- the documentary doesn't shy away from the more tabloid-worthy elements of his life (you know what we're talking about), and is more about the events that made Polanski into the man and director we know him as. 'A Film Memoir' doesn't dive into the making of his movies so much as contextualize them with where he was personally and professionally at the time. And this perspective, particularly with the participation of Polanski himself, offers a refreshing look at the filmmaker you thought you might have known.
Polanski's longtime producing partner Laurent Bouzereau "directs" the film, and interviews the filmmaker as well, sitting down with him in Gstaad, »

Cannes rolls out the carpet for a bumper 65th year
19 May 2012 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A vintage Cannes offers a whale of a drama, a Chinese mystery, and a dainty slice of dysfunctional family life from Wes Anderson. Meanwhile, Woody Allen and Roman Polanski have some explaining to do
Like the Godfather of film festivals that it is, Cannes keeps its friends close and its enemies closer. Over the 65th edition's early days, Cannes clawed back any deserters or doubters with a storming selection, confirming it as the best showcase for challenging cinema from around the world.
Andrea Arnold, the British director whose career Cannes nurtured by promoting her films Red Road and Fish Tank, showed her version of Wuthering Heights at Venice last year. Cannes immediately installed her as a member of this year's jury.
Regulars such as Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, neither of whom have a film showing here, have instead been rewarded with warmly respectful documentaries, made and populated by high-profile friends and fans. »

Interview: Newcomer Gretchen Lodge Talks Inhabiting 'Lovely Molly,' Dark Playlists & Dream Remakes
18 May 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Gretchen Lodge makes her screen debut this weekend in the latest from "The Blair Witch Project" helmer Eduardo Sanchez, the possession/psychological horror thriller "Lovely Molly." Lodge gives a ferocious, fearless and deeply intimate performance in a film that strays from the found footage genre Sanchez helped to create, instead rendering a much more personal horror film that utilizes first person camera footage as one of the many tools in the telling the story of Molly, a young newlywed who begins to lose her grip on reality. Or does she? Lodge is firmly the anchor of this film, which revolves entirely around her, and she never for a minute loses her magnetic grasp on the audience, who can't look away, despite some of the shocking and primal moments. Our review from SXSW said, "she commits to the character -- so mousy and serene early in the movie and so terrifying »

Cinema Retro's Jonathan Melville Reports On The Turner Classic Movies Film Festival In Hollywood
18 May 2012 8:50 AM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
By Jonathan Melville
Is there something about classic movie fans that makes us more obsessive than your average cinemagoer? Does the fact that we often have to search for years for that obscure Western or noir on DVD mean we're more appreciative when we finally see it? Would most of us rather watch a 1960s Bond movie at the multiplex than a modern CGI-fest?
Those are some of the questions I asked myself as I left my home (and DVD collection) in the UK to fly 5,000 miles to the third annual TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood over the weekend of 12-15 April 2012. A gathering of thousands of movie aficionados from around the globe, this spin-off from the Us cable TV channel promises attendees that they'll see some of the best films ever made, often in the company of the people who made them, in the way they were meant to be seen. »

First Trailer for The Possession
16 May 2012 4:31 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first trailer for the horror film The Possession has gone online. Produced by Sam Raimi, the film centers on a young girl who acquires an antique box at a yard sale, but she's unaware that the box contains an evil spirit. First of all, if you haven't been creeped out by the poster yet, take a look here. As for the trailer, let me just say that the film earns positive marks for not following in the found footage genre's footsteps. The Possession trailer actually plays more like an homage to classic horror films like The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and Poltergeist rather than any major horror film that's been produced within the past ten years. It's also refreshing to see an exploration of the darker side of Jewish folklore (the original film was titled The Dibbuk Box) rather than a rehashing of Catholic mythos. Director Ole Bornedal may well »

Cannes 2012 review: Roman Polanski – A Film Memoir
16 May 2012 10:27 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This new documentary about Roman Polanski is undoubtedly enlightening, but suffers from a reticence over the key issues of the director's career
Laurent Bouzereau's film about Roman Polanski is not merely a documentary, but a full-length, wide-ranging interview with the man himself, carried out by his long-time friend and producing partner Andrew Braunsberg. The prospect of Polanski speaking about the extraordinary events that shaped his life is mouth-watering; Braunsberg's questioning is intelligent and sympathetic and Polanski can be a wonderful raconteur.
But perhaps inevitably the film founders on the issue of the Samantha Geimer affair, the 1977 charge of unlawful sex with an underage girl, on account of which he fled the Us and still cannot enter that country or those likely to extradite him. The movie is not evasive exactly, but reticent, emphasising the moral equivalence of Geimer's and Polanski's suffering at the hands of a prurient and intrusive press over the past decades. »

Luke Wilson Accepts The Invitation
14 May 2012 12:19 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Just a couple of weeks ago, Luke Wilson was Meeting Evil in the form of Samuel L Jackson. Now he's set to meet it again, having accepted The Invitation, a thriller to be directed by Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body).Wilson will be playing a character called Will, and the evil in question this time is Will's ex-wife. The horror! The pair have apparently been estranged for some time when Will accepts the titular invitation to a dinner party his ex is throwing. As the evening progresses, he comes to believe that "something insidious" has possessed his wife, and that her new friends have some kind of dastardly mischief in mind.Alien replacement a la Invasion Of The Body Snatchers? Satanic cult, along the lines of Rosemary's Baby? Murder club, like The Last Supper? That would be telling. We do know, however, that Zachary Quinto, Topher Grace and Johnny Galecki are co-starring. »
Movie Poster of the Week: “Elena” and the Top Ten Favorite Posters of Designer Sam Smith
11 May 2012 8:08 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Ever since I first wrote about the work of Sam Smith, back in 2009, I have been wanting to work with him in my capacity (in my other life) as the design director for Zeitgeist Films. In the two and a half years since then, Sam Smith has become one of the most sought-after designers on the independent film circuit with his refreshingly simple, witty and indelibly striking hand-drawn designs (it doesn’t hurt that he also has a great knowledge of both film history and the history of movie poster design). A few months ago I finally got the chance when we decided that we wanted something out of the ordinary to promote our new release of Andrey Zvyagintsev's Elena.
Zvyagintsev’s dark and beautiful film premiered at Cannes last year where it won the Special Jury Prize. For our release this May (it opens next week in the U. »
Happy Mother's Day! The Films We Would and Would Never Watch With Our Mothers
10 May 2012 10:18 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
This weekend brings us the mother of all holidays, and what better way to spend some quality time with your mom than sitting down together for a movie? With that in mind, the Indiewire team decided to offer up both our ideal scenarios for mother-child cinematic sitdowns, and the opposite. Presenting the movies we'd most enjoy watching with our mothers, and the films we'd never subject that situation to: Aaron Bogert... Would Watch With His Mother: "Rosemary's Baby" Roman Polanski's 1968 horror film may seem like an odd choice to want to view with your mom on her most special of days. After all, the plot of the film involves Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) being unwittingly impregnated with the Antichrist as a result of her husband, Guy (John Cassavetes), making a literal deal with the devil. Not exactly feel good stuff. Think about it, though, Rosemary is actually one of »

Stars Pay Tribute To Vidal Sassoon
10 May 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Mia Farrow and singer Estelle are among the celebrities who have offered tributes to legendary hair icon Vidal Sassoon, who died on Wednesday.
The veteran stylist was believed to have been battling leukaemia when he passed away at his Los Angeles home at the age of 84.
Sassoon has long been credited with coming up with Farrow's famous pixie crop in Rosemary's Baby, but the star admits she had been trimming her hair herself years before making the 1968 horror classic.
In posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "(I) met him when he trimmed my hair during filming of Rosemary's Baby (but) I cut my own hair short... even before I married Frank Sinatra.
"Vidal Sassoon trimmed my inch long hair as publicity prank 4 RosemrysBaby (Rosemary's Baby and) he was nice. Rip."
Spandau Ballet rocker Martin Kemp adds, "Rip Vidal Sassoon... A wonderful man I had the pleasure to dine with once... Hats off to you sir!" while teen star Miley Cyrus writes, "Rip Vidal Sassoon. You are forever fabulous."
Estelle tweets, "Vidal Sassoon was an icon in hair and in freedom. Choosing to follow your destiny instead of the path chosen for you by man." »
Legendary hairstylist Vidal Sassoon passes away at 84 - Realbollywood.com News

Washington, May 10: Celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon, who revolutionised women's cuts in the 1960s with his sharp geometric styles died on Wednesday after a long battle with leukemia at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.
Sassoon styled hair for seven decades. He pioneered a geometric haircut in the 1960s that came to be known as the new version of the classic bob cut, and famously chopped off Mia Farrow's long hair for 'Rosemary's Baby'.
Born in London, Sassoon relocated to the Us where he sold his name to Procter and Gamble to. »

Hit Me With Your Best Shot: "The Exorcist"
9 May 2012 7:19 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The Hit Me With Your Best Shot series is deceptively simple. Choose a single shot from a pre-selected movie that you think is best, best being in the eye of the beholder. Tonight we're looking at The Exorcist (1973). And for me at least, it's the first time I've looked at it. That's not quite as shocking as your 12 year old daughter's head spinning 'round 180º, but maybe it's close.
Nearly every horror classic I've seen I've resisted in some ridiculous way: I saw Halloween at a sleepover movie marathon but it took my horror-loving friend five holidays to convince me; I first saw Silence of the Lambs because I had five nightmares about it beforehand and wanted them to end; I can't remember what prompted Rosemary's Baby but I'm willing to bet that I rented the video five times before actually watching it. And so on.

The veteran stylist passed away at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday following an unspecified illness.
He had reportedly been diagnosed with leukaemia in 2009, although it is not known if the condition played a part in his death.

He was also famous for chopping off actress Mia Farrow's long locks for her role in Roman Polanski's horror film Rosemary's Baby.
Sassoon opened hair salons around the world and sold his name to pharmaceutical firm Procter & Gamble to release a line of hair products.
He became the subject of 2010 documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, which chronicled his life and career.
Model Erin O'Connor was one of the first stars to pay tribute to Sassoon on Twitter.com, writing, "Rip Vidal Sassoon. Inspired so many, myself included." »

The Director and Actors of "Gayby" Talk About Unconventional Babymaking
23 April 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Jenn Harris and Matthew Wilkas in a scene from Gayby.
Gayby was first made as a 12-minute short film by director/writer Jonathan Lisecki. The premise of the short was fairly straight-forward (no pun intended) -- and a tad bit bizarre. Jenn (Jenn Harris) wants to have a baby so she solicits the help of her gay best friend Matt (Matthew Wilkas). He agrees to help, but she wants to conceive without the help of a turkey baster. Yup. You heard that right. She wants to conceive the old fashioned way: sex. Sex with her gay best friend.
After gaining traction at over a hundred film festivals, Lisecki decided to blow it up into a full feature-length film, and with the help of the short's two original stars, the film made its world premiere at this year's South by Southwest film festival in Austin -- and people liked it. They liked it a lot. »

'Mad Men' Season 5 Episode 506 'Far Away Places': Roger Sterling drops acid
23 April 2012 1:11 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Oddly, the most incongruous thing about Sunday's (April 22) episode of "Mad Men" -- "Far Away Places" -- wasn't Roger Sterling (John Slattery) dropping acid. That actually made sense in an story arc that was the equivalent of force-feeding LSD to the show's audience. In a sense, it was our own "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" -- The show took us along on a wild ride, whether or not we wanted to go, in much the same way that Don absconded with Megan for a little mid-week trip to a Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge. Both the trip and the show didn't turn out as expected.
It was an episode that either meant everything or nothing. Maybe both. It's tempting to over-analyze the hell out of it, but fight the urge because, as Megan (Jessica Paré) said of Howard Johnson's, "It's not a destination, it's on the way to some place. »

Rosemary’S Baby coming to The Criterion Collection?

The possibility of an edition of Roman Polanski's classic thriller, Rosemary's Baby, released by The Criterion Collection has been rumored for ages. The film seemed destined for Criterion (Knife In The Water, Cul-de-sac, and, his best film in my eyes, Repulsion, have hit home video via the mighty C) and due to one of their ever-great "wacky drawings," looks to be made available soon.

Martini Mom & Devil Spawn (2012)
18 April 2012 9:24 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Devi Snively
Written by: Devi Snively
Cast: Cynthia Dane, Gillian Shure, Circus-Szalewski, Wally Ruston, Ian Strandberg
It's official, my friends: The bar is now open. The first episode of writer/director Devi Snively's sparkling new webseries, Martini Mom & Devil Spawn, has been posted and it is indeed a strange brew.
Poor Rosemary. All she wants is a drink and a smile, but an ill-advised one-night stand provides oh so much more. Martini Mom & Devil Spawn is the tale of a, shall we say, directionless young woman whose aperitif existence becomes increasingly complicated when she bears the spawn of Satan.
Martini Mom is best described as a screwball comedy with a cutting edge. When I spoke with Snively recently about the DVD release of Trippin', her first feature, she called the series "Rosemary's Baby meets Absolutely Fabulous with South Park /Family Guy-esque satirical humor, and the occasional gore and/or musical number. »
