Top Ten Tuesday: Santa’s Naughty List
21 December 2010 5:10 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
With Santa Claus right around the corner, what better time is there to point out those good little boys and girls who have taken a turn for the worse? These are the baddest of the bad, the meanest of the mean, naughtiest in Santa’s list. They didn’t start out that way… Some say it’s genetics. Others say it’s how they were raised. Some are just being controlled by the devil himself! No matter how you view it, these kids are going to see a lot of coal in their stockings if they keep it up… Top Ten: Santa’S Naughty List
10. The Exorcist
The Exorcist (1973) starred a young Linda Blair as Regan, an innocent little girl possessed by the devil. Sure, most parents out there surely feel their children are possessed by the devil at one point or another, but Linda Blair and the special effects »

Looking back at Lethal Weapon
12 November 2010 7:15 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
You're never too old for this. Mark kicks off our Lethal Weapon series retrospective with a stone-cold classic…
When I wrote a retrospective on the Die Hard series for this site, a reader pointed out that it was Lethal Weapon that first paved the way for its success. Indeed, coming out the year before Bruce's finest hour, Mel's finest hour introduced the world to a new kind of cop film.
Gone was the serious tone of the Dirty Harry flicks. Gone was the gritty underbelly of the Death Wish series. Here was a film that brilliantly blended the high-budget, high-action ethos of the boys own Indiana Jones-type movie with the broad, chirpy comedy of the likes of Back To The Future and yet could still hold a strong dramatic presence when the time required it.
Director Richard Donner has to take much of the credit for creating a near-perfect film. »
Richard Donner backs Zack Snyder's Superman and trashes Transformers
3 November 2010 12:18 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Richard Donner, director of 1978's iconic Superman: The Movie starring Christopher Reeve, breathed life into a legend and made us believe a man could fly.
And he says Zack Snyder is the right person to make the hero soar on the big screen again.
Snyder was announced as director of the new film earlier this month and Donner is confident about Warner Bros' choice.
Donner, who went on to direct such films as The Omen, The Goonies and the Lethal Weapon series, told Movieweb: "Well, I think he could do a great job. You know he's certainly a good director and hopefully he's got a good handle on it."
He adds that he hasn't seen a script for the new film and hopes Snyder isn't tempted to deliver spectacle at the expense of substance and story.
Donner (pictured right) explained: "I mean, I thought Bryan Singer did a wonderful job »

Take Three: David Warner

Craig here with Take Three.
Today: David Warner
Heads, brains and faces, skewed or distorted, are the prominent concerns with today’s Take Three supporting actor David Warner: the lopping off, the removal of, and the obsessively creepy staring, respectively, are what it's all about. In The Omen, From Beyond the Grave and The Man with Two Brains Warner thrilled us in a delightful and devious manner. He's an ideal actor for Halloween season.
Take One: I'm starting with the Man in the Mirror
Double-dealing, in particular, was the name of the game in ‘The Gate Crasher’, the first segment of Kevin Connor’s 1973 Amicus portmanteau film From Beyond the Grave. Warner was Edward Charlton, who surely lived to regret the snagging of an ancient, dubiously prescient mirror from shopkeeper Peter Cushing at a cut-price cost. Warner plays Charlton as cocky and belligerent one minute, and fearfully seized up the next. »

Music in the movies: a further celebration of Jerry Goldsmith
25 October 2010 8:26 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
In his latest Music in the movies column, Glen returns to the work of Jerry Goldsmith, and takes a look back at his greatest compositions...
Following on from the sci-fi themes of Jerry Goldsmith article a few weeks back, here's the promised follow-up exploring some of (well, a lot of) his other great scores. The piece is a little longer than usual, so I'll keep the intro to a minimum and get on with the celebration of the great man's scores.
Goldsmith's score for this 1970 biopic about the legendary Us General George S Patton, stands as one of the greatest pieces that he composed throughout his career, which is high praise, indeed.
Stirring, emotional and inspirational are but a few of the adjectives that could be used to describe this masterclass in composing, which has Goldsmith creating a suitably militaristic march to the score backed by heavy use of »

The Movie: 'The Omen' (1976)
The Scene: After his newborn son dies shortly after childbirth, Ambassador Robert Thorn secretly adopts an orphan child and poses it as his own; it appears everything will work out for the Thorns and their new son -- Damien. However, strange events begin occurring to the people around Damien, indicating that the orphan boy may in fact be the biblical Antichrist. The prophetic doom starts on Damien's fifth birthday, when his nanny (Holly Palance) enters into a hypnotic daze, shortly after coming across a stray Rottweiler. Afterward, she decides to give Damien the only birthday present you can give to the demonic creature that will bring about the end of days.

"Mary, did you see The Omen?"
4 October 2010 1:55 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I'm multi-tasking! It's a new episode of actors on actors, tv @ the movies and a monologue.
Recently after an accidental couch potato binge on The Golden Girls -- you all know what that's like, right? -- I realized that the boyfriend had never seen the classic 70s sitcom Soap, which is from the same creative team, so we've been watching. The main character is rich dotty matriarch Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmond of Whos The Boss fame). She brings up movies and movie stars constantly. The fantasy of movies is a natural fit, since she doesn't have the firmest grasp of reality. She's basically a template for Rose on Golden Girls. Helmond, like White after her, has a very firm grasp of comic timing.
In this scene she wants to look through a family photo album because she believes they've all been cursed.
Jessica Tate: I think that in those pictures we'll find the answer. »

Charlie Brooker's Screen burn: Science Of The Movies

'Nar Williams is the world's most enthusiastic nerd. I found myself curiously proud of him'
I'm a geek. In 1998, while co-presenting a radio show about technology, I was loaned a Diamond Rio, one of the first commercially available MP3 players. It connected to the computer via the parallel port, had a tiny monochrome LCD display, could store 32Mb worth of music (roughly an album's worth), and absolutely blew my mind. It had no moving parts! The music came from nowhere! It was clearly alien technology; an enchanted futuristic device straight from a Buck Rogers movie. Excited beyond belief, I ran all over London showing it to everyone I could find.
Absolutely no one gave a shit. "But there's no tape, no CD, no minidisc; the music comes from its memory!" I'd squeal. And they would yawn in my face.
A few years later these people could be found cooing »

Free Flick of The Day: 'Punchline'
28 June 2010 8:33 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Today I decided to go outside of the box a little, because my recommendation for the Free Flick of The Day is going to require a little homework, and what I mean by that is that after you head on over to SlashControl to watch Punchline, a 1988 dramedy about a housewife breaking into stand-up comedy, I'm going to recommend you watch Judd Apatow's Funny People and do a little contrast and compare...because if my education in the arts taught me anything, it's that it is all about the contrast and compare.
Punchline was directed by David Seltzer, writer of films like The Omen and Lucas, (which he also directed), and starred Sally Field as a housewife with a gift for comedy who makes a run for the stand-up clubs where she meets a slightly manic med student/comedian (played by Tom Hanks) and the two become friends and eventually competitors. »

Saving Abel's Top 10 Female Villains
7 June 2010 10:19 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Saving Abel has a new album dropping on June 8th entitled Miss America, and since the guys are horror fans, they thought they'd pay a little tribute to some of the not-so-wholesome women who have haunted their dreams and nightmares over the years.
The band consists of Jared Weeks-Vocals, Jason Null-Guitars, Scott Bartlett-Guitars, Eric Taylor-Bass, and Blake Dixon-Drums. All five of them collaborated to compile the list of their Top Ten favorite female villains. (An honorable mention went to commentator Nancy Grace.)
10. Medusa (Clash of the Titans) - A mythological creature called a Gorgon. A half-snake, half-human creature, which is the same way I describe a few ex-girlfriends and oddly enough wouldn't mind seeing beheaded.
9. The Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton, The Wizard of Oz) - You can't talk about female villains without mentioning The Wicked Witch. She's a fixture in just about everyone's childhood horror memory bank. »

Diane Lane to star in HBO movie
8 April 2010 1:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Diane Lane will star in HBO's upcoming film "Cinema Verite," the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the groundbreaking documentary "An American Family."
Lane will play Pat Loud, the mother and main character of the documentary, which chronicled an intimate look at a Santa Barbara family.
When it premiered on PBS in 1973, "Family" stunned viewers by showing a real family's struggle with issues like divorce and sexual identity.
Today the documentary is seen as a precursor of sorts to the popular reality TV docudrama genre, from "Jon & Kate" to "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
"Verite" is produced by Gavin Polone, written by "The Omen" writer David Seltzer, with writing-directing duo Shari Springer Berman and Bob Pulcini directing.
The project represents Lane's return to HBO after 20 years, when she starred in "Descending Angel" for the network and the first TV project for the big screen actress in eight years. Lane, who »

Remembering Horror Maestro Curtis Harrington

Filmmaker Curtis Harrington: 1926-2007.
Our Friend Curtis Harrington
by Jon Zelazny
Curtis Harrington was born in Los Angeles in 1926. He made short films as a teenager, graduated from USC, and began his Hollywood career in the 1950’s. By the end of the decade, he was directing: independent films, studio pictures, made-for-tv movies, and episodic TV. He completed his last short film in 2002, and died in 2007 at the age of 80.
I knew Curtis well in his final years, as did writer-producer Dennis Bartok, the former head programmer of L.A.’s famed American Cinematheque.
Dennis Bartok: I think the most interesting aspect of Curtis’s career is that he was really the only filmmaker to successfully transition from the avant-garde scene of the late 1940’s to directing Hollywood feature films. And when you see how distinctive his movies are, you wish he could’ve made more… but when you »

Actor Martin Benson Dies
24 March 2010 2:00 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Martin Benson was a dour-faced character actor who appeared in numerous film and television productions from the late 1940s. His notable genre roles include Dorkin, the circus ringmaster who aspires to hit the bigtime exploiting Gorgo, the giant prehistoric reptile, in the 1961 film of the same name. He was featured as American gangster Solo in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, who had a “pressing engagement” when he refused to take part in Goldfinger’s plot to rob Fort Knox. He was shot to death by henchman Oddjob, and crushed into a metal cube in a junkyard metal compactor along with his luxury car and gold bullion. He also appeared, under heavy prosthetics, as Jeltz, the poetry-spouting alien Vogon Captain, in the 1981 British television production of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Benson was born in London on August 10, 1918. He served in the military during World War II before embarking on »
