How Many of the Movies from Roger Ebert's List of Great Movies Have You Seen?
10 April 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've mentioned before how several years ago I created a list using Roger Ebert's Great Movies, Oscar Best Picture winners, IMDb's Top 250, etc. and began going through them doing my best to see as many of the films on these lists that I had not seen as I possibly could to up my film I.Q. Well, someone has gone through the exhaustive effort to take all of the films Roger Ebert wrote about in his three "Great Movies" books, all of which are compiled on his website and added them to a Letterbxd list and I've added that list below. I'm not positive every movie on his list is here, but by my count there are 363 different titles listed (more if you count the trilogies, the Up docs and Decalogue) and of those 363, I have personally seen 229 and have added an * next to those I've seen. Clearly I have some work to do, »

Roger Ebert obituary
5 April 2013 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Chicago film critic with a worldwide appeal
For 46 years Roger Ebert, who has died aged 70 after suffering from cancer, wrote on films for the Chicago Sun-Times, and did not want to stop. The one thing he welcomed when announcing a "leave of presence" earlier this week was the realisation of a fantasy: "reviewing only the movies I want to review".
His following in the English-speaking world was unrivalled. He and Gene Siskel, his co-host on At the Movies on television, had a street named after them – Siskel and Ebert Way – near the CBS Studios in Chicago where they worked together. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win a Pulitzer prize for criticism.
He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and received honorary degrees from various institutions of learning. In 2007, Forbes magazine named Ebert "the most powerful pundit in America".

Top Ten 1970s
26 February 2013 7:10 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
for discussion & Oscar-break fun
The Tuesday Top Ten will get more article-like soon once we're clear of Oscar-Night Mania but since it was so fun to discuss the 1930s in brief recently, let's talk about the other greatest American cinematic decade for a minute, the 1970s. Like all of you I know I have holes in my viewing but off the top of my head here are my 10 favorites from that much obsessed-over decade.The order is semi random beyond the top three which are always my top three from that decade though the order has occasionally varied.
Manhattan (Woody Allen) Cabaret (Bob Fosse) Nashville (Robert Altman) Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola) Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese) Network (Sidney Lumet) Annie Hall (Woody Allen) All That Jazz (Bob Fosse) Carrie (Brian de Palma) Cries and Whispers (Ingmar Bergman) The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola)
oops i cheated... I forgot Carrie when I was typing it up. »

Casting Watch: Chastain Is 'Miss Julie' with Liv Ullmann at the Helm, Farrell and Morton to Co-Star
31 January 2013 9:22 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Jessica Chastain is set to star in the title role of "Miss Julie" in Liv Ullmann's film adaptation of August Strindberg's classic play about a young upper-class woman who finds herself attracted to a senior servant. Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton are attached to co-star. Chastain has already had a big start to 2013: she's Oscar-nominated for her role in Kathryn Bigelow's controversial "Zero Dark Thirty" and recently commanded the two top box office spots with that film and horror title "Mama." She is also currently on Broadway in "The Heiress." In the pipeline for Farrell are FilmDistrict's "Dead Man Down," Warner Bros.' "A Winter's Tale" and Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks." Ullmann, best known as Ingmar Bergman's muse in films such as "Persona," "Cries and Whispers" and mini-series "Scenes From a Marriage," has directed before, albeit »

The Oscar Case for ‘Amour’ Winning Best Picture
18 January 2013 11:00 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Amour is a very difficult movie. I would go so far as to say it’s the toughest, most painful Best Picture nominee in an awfully long time. It’s so heartbreaking and uncomfortable that I was somewhat taken aback when it pulled five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Sure, Emmanuelle Riva seemed like a good bet and it was certainly going to be ahead of the pack in the Foreign Film category, but that top-tier nomination? Only eight foreign language films have been nominated for Best Picture in the past, and only one of them (Ingmar Bergman’s Cries and Whispers) is as profoundly upsetting as Michael Haneke’s blunt portrait of love and death. It just didn’t seem likely. Obviously, I was wrong. Let’s hope that isn’t the theme of the season. In hindsight, the impressive crop of nominations for Amour makes a ton of sense. It »

Forget Tarantino, Scorsese: Oshima was a True Iconoclast
17 January 2013 12:46 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Nagisa Oshima: In the Realm of the Senses (Truly) Iconoclastic Filmmaker dead at 80 Nagisa Oshima, best known as the director of the sexually charged 1976 psychological drama Ai No Corrida / In the Realm of the Senses, died of pneumonia on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at a Fujisawa hospital, near Tokyo. Oshima, who in the last 15 years had suffered a series of strokes, was 80. (Photo: Eiko Matsuda, Tatsuya Fuji in Nagisa Oshima’s In the Realm of the Senses.) Some refer to the likes of Quentin Tarantino or Spike Lee or Martin Scorsese or Terrence Malick as "iconoclastic filmmakers." Those people clearly haven’t bothered learning the definition of the word. Having said that, "iconoclast" is the perfect label for Nagisa Oshima. For once, in fact, laudatory obituary headlines — those announcing the "iconoclastic" Oshima’s death — perfectly reflect the personal and social standing of the deceased. Really, if Tarantino, for one, were a true iconoclast, »
