Giada De Laurentiis recalls fave of her grandfather's movies: From 'Orca' to 'King Kong'
4 May 2012 1:25 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Giada De Laurentiis is a celebrity in her own right, and she feels she owes it in large part to her ancestors in the entertainment world.
The Food Network and Cooking Channel personality is the granddaughter of the late film producer Dino De Laurentiis, whom she says "made something like over 600 movies in 60 years" including "Serpico," "Death Wish" and the Jessica Lange-introducing 1976 remake of "King Kong." And actress Silvana Mangano, who starred in such epics as "Ulysses" and "Barabbas," was her maternal grandmother.
"Honestly, when the show 'Everyday Italian' started, I wanted to shoot it like Grandfather shot movies," De Laurentiis explains to Zap2it, "and really tell a story from beginning to end. The cinematography, the lighting and everything else in that show really set me up for what I have today, and I don't think I would have had that knowledge had I not come »

Jessica Lange, SAG Awards 2012 Jessica Lange, the Best Actress SAG Award winner for the drama series for American Horror Story, speaks onstage during the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. "To be an actor means everything to me," Lange told the crowd at the Shrine Auditorium on January 29, 2012, in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by John Shearer/WireImage.) Lange's SAG Award competitors were Kathy Bates for Harry's Law, Julianna Margulies for The Good Wife, Kyra Sedgwick for The Closer, and Glenn Close for Damages.

Nominated for Nothing: Why 'Shame' should be recognized for more than the nude scenes
6 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Just about every year, brilliant movies are utterly ignored by the Oscars. The Searchers, Groundhog Day, Persona, Breathless, Hoop Dreams, The Bourne Supremacy, King Kong, Casino Royale, Touch of Evil, Caddyshack, Mean Streets, The Big Lebowski — the Academy has a long history of overlooking comedies, action movies, horror flicks, hard-boiled genre pics, artsy foreign films, and documentaries that aren’t about World War II. This year, we’ll be taking a closer look at films that were too small, too weird, or perhaps simply too awesome for the Academy Awards. These are the Non-Nominees.

King Kong Versus 'Super 8'
1 February 2012 8:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
For my money, the very best part of J.J. Abrams' Super 8 was the film's closing credits sequence, where we actually got to see the zombie movie the kids were making. That's why I'm thrilled to learn of a real super-8 film made by kids in 1978 that someone's put online, especially since it's a remake of one of the '70s' biggest cheesefests -- the 1976 Dino De Laurentiis King Kong. Check it out after the jump. It's worth noting that someone has recently added an audio track to this King Kong remake. But the Diy spirit that only twelve-year-olds can muster shines through. Here's how it's described on Youtube: "The classic tale of Kong, retold by kids in Hyannis, Ma & Riverside, »
