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 »

Ben Gazzara: 1930-2012 and Remembering Cassavetes
26 March 2012 6:11 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news »
We're sad to report that actor Ben Gazzara has succumbed to pancreatic cancer at age 81. Over Gazzara's nearly-sixty year career, his greatest screen moments occurred in collaboration with close friend John Cassavetes, along with actors Peter Falk, Seymour Cassel, and Cassavetes' wife Gena Rowlands. With Falk's passing last year and now with Gazzara's, it seems an opportune time to revisit a 2004 chat I had for Venice Magazine with the surviving members of the Cassavetes "company" that coincided with Criterion's release of their "John Cassavetes: Five Films" collection. Cassel was the only member not present during the conversations, which took place in the home that John and Gena shared from 1962 until his death, and which served as a location for many of their films together.

Husbands Review: John Cassavetes, Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk
3 February 2012 8:32 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Husbands (1970) Direction & Screenplay: John Cassavetes Cast: John Cassavetes, Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk, Jenny Runacre, Jenny Lee Wright Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara in John Cassavetes' Husbands John Cassavetes was a filmmaker who made his independent films in two primary modes: brilliant character-driven masterpieces like Faces, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and Opening Night, or character-driven mediocrities with "moments," like Shadows, A Woman Under the Influence, and Gloria. Husbands (1970) falls somewhere in between. Husbands is nowhere near a great film, for most of the time it is poorly edited and, surprisingly, poorly scripted. But in the scenes that are not overly long and utterly pointless lie the seeds for what could have been a truly brilliant work. As it is, Sony Pictures' 142-minute DVD version of Husbands plays out more like the opening scene of the Cassavetes effort that came before it, Faces, which began with a depiction of drunken »

22 January 2012 6:51 AM, PST | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Those of us not in Park City this weeked will have to make due with the slow-trickle of “Exclusive Clips” that have begun floating around the internet.
First up, Wired shares a sequence from Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky’s Indie Game: The Movie, a documentary about video-game programmers. In the above clip, Tommy Refenes, one of the film’s main subjects, nervously shares an unfinished version of his new game at a convention in Boston.
Next, Deadline.com shares this tense clip from writer-director Nicholas Jarecki’s hedge-fund psychological thriller, Arbitrage. Featuring Richard Gere and Nate Parker, the clip hints at the film’s tense plot.
Finally, head over to Twitchfilm to see a dialogue-free clip from The Comedy, Rick Alverson’s stinging portrait of Williamsburg hipsterdom. In his review over at Indiewire, Christopher Bell compares the film to Cassavetes’ A Woman Under the Influence. It’s easy to »

[Premiere Screening: Saturday, January 21, 8:30 pm –Library Center Theater]
I’ve always been suspicious of movies and visual media and my interest in film developed out of that suspicion. In the world that I knew as a child, in an era preceding the Internet, many of us were reared in part, at least in terms of our social behavior, by television. Much of what we understood of the adult world we learned through osmosis, through the colors and exoticism of television, through the play of bodies and the exchange of words and gestures in that very artificial space. We were provided a Doppleganger of the organic version of experiences, people and environments. At 40 now, I have spent, it seems, half a life unlearning those dehumanizing, pacifying and mostly reckless lessons. They were doled out, not for education nor illumination, but as a way of passing time and infusing the working world with its nightly sedative. Today there are more decentralized media anesthesias, »

DGA Awards vs. Academy Awards: Foreign, Small, Controversial Movies Have Better Luck at the Oscars
9 January 2012 3:41 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The DGA Awards vs. the Academy Awards: Usually But Not Always a Match. [Photo: Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in Last Tango in Paris.] Since 1970, when the DGA instituted the five-nominee limit, a mere ten directors of (at least mostly) non-English-language films have received DGA nods: Lina Wertmüller (Seven Beauties, 1976), Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, 1982), Ingmar Bergman (Fanny and Alexander, 1983), Lasse Hallström (My Life As a Dog, 1987), Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso, 1990), Michael Radford (Il Postino / The Postman, 1995), Robert Benigni (Life Is Beautiful, 1998), Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000), Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), and Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 2009). The above list can be expanded to twelve if you include Bernardo Bertolucci for Last Tango in Paris, which has a sizable amount of English dialogue, and Michel Hazanavicius' French-made but Hollywood-set The Artist. During that same period (excepting 2011, as Oscar nominations will be announced only later this month), 21 directors of non-English-language films received Academy Award nominations.

"Return" features Linda Cardellini in a difficult, important role
4 January 2012 12:06 PM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I was late to the Freaks & Geeks party and only saw random episodes until a marathon a couple of years ago. But watching was still a matter of love at first sight.
One thing I don't get, though, is why most of the freaks and geeks have gone on to be fairly successful in other roles, but the great Linda Cardellini hasn't. (As good as she was in ER, her character rarely was featured.)
That might be about to change, with the release of Return.
Cardellini plays Kelli, a soldier who has returned home from the war. She can't wait to get back into a small town routine with her husband and kids. Unfortunately, things aren't the way she left them — and she's not sure how to find her place in a group of family and friends that have gone on without her.
Here's the trailer.
