E.T. Comes to Blu-Ray in October
8 hours ago | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Hard to believe it’s been thirty years since that magical summer when tons of great films were released including Steven Spielberg’s E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. The film will celebrate the occasion with several events beginning with an exclusive airing Friday on The Hub on at 9 p.m.
It’s the season of Spielberg, it seems, as first Jaws, then E.T. and the Indiana Jones films finally make their Blu-ray debuts. The sea thriller will be out in August while the other two are scheduled for October releases.
Here are the E.T. release details from Universal Home Entertainment:
Universal City, California, May 30, 2012 – E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Academy Award®-winning director Steven Spielberg’s magical adventure, celebrates its 30th Anniversary with its first-ever release on Blu-ray™ this October.

The Grey's hero, dead? Perish the thought
16 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Grey is out on DVD this week, so at last we can talk about the end … which clearly isn't
Things don't look so great for Liam Neeson at the end of The Grey. He's the last remaining survivor of an aeroplane crash in the frozen tundra, and he's hemmed in by a pack of gigantic, man-eating wolves, who aren't all that well disposed toward him because he's polished off a fair few of their mates in the previous couple of days. As the film draws to its thrilling conclusion, the seething leader of the wolf pack faces off against Neeson, and the two get set to engage in a vicious, mano a mano, winner-takes-all duel to the death. Meanwhile, the rest of the wolves move a side and give the boys room to operate. No two ways about it, Neeson's backed himself into a tight corner this time!

Spielberg's "E.T." Goes Blu In October
20 hours ago | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
A while back film fans were lamenting the fact that Steven Spielberg had only taken brief dips into the waters of high-definition. At the time "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" were the only films he directed that were available on Blu-ray.
Well the man has made up for that shortfall over the past two years as a good portion of his back catalogue has made the jump. "The Color Purple," "Empire of the Sun," "Hook," "Jurassic Park," "The Lost World," "Saving Private Ryan," "Minority Report," "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence," "War of the Worlds" along with recent efforts "The Adventures of Tintin" and "War Horse" are all now out on Blu-ray.
It's the second half of this year however that the films most have been begging for will come. We've already heard of the announcements of "Jaws" in August and the »

To celebrate Universal's 100th Anniversary, the studio is finally releasing E.T. The Extra Terrestrial on Blu-ray this October.

E.T. The Extra-terrestrial Comes to Blu-ray This October; Watch the Announcement Trailer
30 May 2012 11:27 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you thought only one Steven Spielberg classic was coming to Blu-ray this year, you were sorely mistaken. A digitally remastered version of Jaws will be released in the Blu-ray format this August (with bonus features galore), but Universal has just announced that Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will also be hitting Blu-ray for the first time this October. The disc will boast a digitally remastered version of the 1982 theatrical movie (ie. not the version with digitally inserted walkie-talkies) along with an all-new interview with Spielberg, never-before-seen footage from the set, and more. Hit the jump for details, including a full rundown of the bonus features and an announcement trailer. Spielberg had previously promised that the untouched 1982 version of E.T. would be included along with the “reworked” version when the film hit Blu-ray, but now it looks like that only vestiges of the Lucas-fied 20th Anniversary version will be two deleted scenes. »

Steven Spielberg's 'E.T.' coming to Blu-ray, and it's walkie-talkie free! -- Video
30 May 2012 11:12 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
For many, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial remains Steven Spielberg’s most indelible film, holding a special spot in moviegoers’ hearts. (I know it does for me.) But when the movie was re-released in theaters in 2002 to celebrate its 20th anniversary, Spielberg tried to fix something that was not broken and “updated” the movie’s visual effects. He gave E.T.’s face a CG makeover, added back in a couple deleted scenes, and — most controversially — switched out the rifles held by police officers chasing down Elliott and his bicycle buddies with walkie-talkies.
Fans cried foul. South Park mocked the decision. Last year, »

Hey Star Wars ! Happy 35th !
25 May 2012 2:58 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Where were you 35 years ago, fellow movie geeks ( if you even existed ) ? Well, it turns out that today, May 25, 2012, is the 35th anniversary of the day the original Star Wars ( it wouldn’t be given the episode IV subtitle for several years ) exploded on USA movie screens. This was the big one. Steven Spielberg had established the Summer as a prime time for escapist Hollywood blockbusters with Jaws in 1975 , but George Lucas solidified ” school’s out ” as the ” get out of the heat and lose yourself in a fantasy world ” season. It’s difficult to convey to you younger film fans what a game changer this was. Most sci-fi fantasy films were ultra-low budget saucers on the loose with guys in ill-fitting rubber suits B movies. We had the occasional big, stompin’ monster epics from Japan along with the James Bond series ( by then in the very tongue-in-cheek Roger Moore »

We're delivering the headlines direct (via London) from the Croisette on the day The Paperboy premieres
9.24am: Good morning and welcome to day nine of the Cannes liveblog. Without further ado, let's see what the Cannesettes are tweeting as they come out of this morning's big screening, Lee Daniels's The Paperboy …
Hearty boos for The Paperboy

I tell you what, Carax has Nothing on Lee Daniels. Cinema does not get much weirder than Nicole Kidman pissing on Zac Efron. #cannes

The Paperboy screens at Cannes. Calamitous Florida noir, buggers fine source novel with abandon. Kidman pisses on Zac Efron (literally)

The Paperboy: a right old Southern gumbo but weirdly enjoyable. Right now Lee Daniels could well be the world's best bad director. #cannes

Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 2 of 5)
24 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Oliver Reed as Athos in The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973/1974, UK):
These films were actually shot all at once but ultimately released as two separate films telling one long story. As the musketeer with a dark past, Oliver Reed provides a lot of the heart and soul in these very entertaining and well-made films. Technically, since we have to isolate one film for our fantasy nomination, it would be The Four Musketeers as his role is more prominent in that film. Reed’s reunion scene with Faye Dunaway’s Milady is superb as is Reed’s intense swordplay with an array of opponents including Christopher Lee. An underrated actor whose career was damaged by well-documented alcohol problems and notorious off-screen behavior, Reed still logged in some truly incredible acting performances over the course of his career. His portrayal of Athos is definitely one of them.

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.

Teaser for Jamie Benning’s “Filmumentary” Inside Jaws
22 May 2012 1:39 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Jamie Benning has quickly become a familiar name among cinephiles. He creates hardcore documentaries, or “filmumentaries” by spending months combing through all the supplemental material for a specific film. He then puts together a “filmumentary” in which the movie plays all the way through with behind-the-scenes video, audio commentary from cast and crew, deleted scenes, and a subtitled fact track seamlessly intercut with the feature. We posted the unofficial Raiders of the Lost Ark “filmumentary” earlier this year, and for fans who savor every piece of information regarding the production of a film, Benning’s projects are a must-see. For his next film, Benning is tackling Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. A teaser for the Inside Jaws “filmumentary” has been released, giving us a taste of what’s to come from the finished product. Hit the jump to check it out. Also, for those unaware, Jaws is finally coming to Blu-ray later this year. »

Back in September, we posted the complete collection of fan-made Star Wars Trilogy documentaries from hardcore and passionate franchise lover Jamie Benning. Then earlier this year we featured Raiding the Lost Ark, yet another feature length filmumentary, this time highlighting George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's iconic adventure flick Raiders of the Lost Ark which introduced the world to Indiana Jones. Now this time Benning is focusing on Spielberg alone with Inside Jaws, looking at the classic 1975 film Jaws. It's a simple tease with snippets of voiceover from Spielberg, but I can't wait to see the whole thing. Here's the teaser for Jamie Benning's filmumentary Inside Jaws from Vimeo: Inside Jaws is an unofficial fan documentary, or as creator Jamie Benning calls it, a filmumentary, compiling various behind-the-scenes video, audio commentary from cast and crew, deleted scenes, a subtitled fact track and more giving unprecedented insight into the development and »
