Alpha Papa: What's your funniest Alan Partridge moment? - open thread
14 June 2013 4:24 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
It didn't take long. Moments after we finished watching the new trailer for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa yesterday, our minds were already floating back to some of the classic moments from Steve Coogan's comic creation.
Partridge first cropped up as a hapless sports broadcaster on BBC Radio 4's On the Hour two decades ago before cutting through the mediums of chat show, sitcom, web video and travel documentary with his unique combo of chit-chat and analysis. One thing has remained consistent: he is always absolutely hilarious.

12 Films That Had Surprising Commercial Consequences
11 June 2013 12:39 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
We movie-goers are an impressionable lot. We like to associate ourselves with our screen heroes; wear our underwear on the outside and whack each other around the head with plastic lightsabers. But although imitation may well be the most sincere form of flattery, we’re not just talking about tracking down t-shirts and trainers on eBay. We’re thinking on a much bigger scale.
Sometimes the effect is obvious. For example, most Bond films are glorified car commercials. Indeed, such was the demand for a shiny new Lotus Espirit (having featured in The Spy Who Loved Me) that, upon the film’s release, customers had to sign up for a three-year waiting list. Likewise, Marlon Brando’s sultry performance in A Streetcar Named Desire helped to hawk hundreds of thousands of t-shirts. Presumably, customers had to provide their own sweat, muscles and brooding sense of masculinity.
But other trends are less easy to spot. »

Why Skyfall Is A Better Anniversary James Bond Film Than Die Another Day
4 June 2013 5:54 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
2012 marked the 50th anniversary of James Bond’s cinematic debut in Dr. No and also saw the release of the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall. Though the film was meant to have been released earlier, financial trouble led to a delay in filming and it is hard to imagine Skyfall not marking the 50th birthday of the cinematic Bond. It was also ten years since Die Another Day, Pierce Brosnan’s final outing as 007 was released. This film, like Skyfall, tried to celebrate the longevity of Bond on the big screen but unfortunately, amongst most of the Bond fandom, it is considered one of the worst films in the franchise and its director Lee Tamahori certainly fails to celebrate Bond in the way Sam Mendes would ten years later.
One thing which Tamahori was praised about was the use of references to previous Bond films in Die Another Day. The »

Office Space: the evolution of M’s office throughout the 007 film franchise
9 April 2013 4:26 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
From the very outset of the James Bond film franchise, it was abundantly clear that one of the films’ selling points was the promise that the protagonist, British secret agent James Bond 007, would travel the many foreign, exotic, romantic and dangerous locales around the globe. From the more familiar yet legendary European cities, such as Paris (A View to a Kill) and Venice (Moonraker, Casino Royale), the famous metropolises other continents are known for (New York in Live and Let Die, Tokyo in You Only Live Twice) to the roads less taken which lead to lesser known territories (Jamaica in Dr. Do, Haiti in Quantum of Solace, Iceland in Die Another Day), 007 has fought the forces of evil in just about every corner and every climate. However far and wide the iconic protagonist has ventured in his many adventures, there is one place he is almost certain to visit in every film. »

'GI Joe: Retaliation' review: Dwayne Johnson can't save action sequel
29 March 2013 10:28 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Director: Jon M Chu; Screenwriters: Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick; Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, DJ Cotrona, Adrianne Palicki, Bruce Willis; Running time: 110 mins; Certificate: 12A
Dwayne Johnson's introduction to the Fast & Furious films acted like a shot in the arm to the flagging car franchise, so producers of GI Joe: Retaliation were likely looking to pull the same trick twice by bringing him into their sequel. On this point there's good news and bad news. The good? This is a better film than its dire 2009 predecessor The Rise of Cobra. The bad? Retaliation is still a preposterous and messy 3D spectacle devoid of any kind of soul.
This time around there's no Sienna Miller, Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Dennis Quaid, instead there's a fresh Joes team that includes Roadblock (Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), Flint (DJ Cotrona) and founding member Joe Colton (Bruce Willis). Channing Tatum returns as Duke, but »
Bond 24: 5 directors we'd love to see replace Sam Mendes
6 March 2013 9:47 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Despite rumours suggesting that Sam Mendes was being tempted back to the James Bond franchise, the Skyfall director announced earlier today that he had declined the chance to return to the hotseat for Bond 24.
After the immense critical and commercial success of Mendes's 50th anniversary outing, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson now have an almighty task on their hands in finding a replacement.
Mendes's involvement in Bond could potentially signify an uptick in the calibre of filmmaker the series is able to attract, and with a cracking 007 in Daniel Craig and goodwill from Skyfall surely this opens the door to a whole host of potential directors?
Digital Spy picks out five directors we'd love to see tackle the next James Bond movie below.
Pros: Is three for three after Gone Baby Gone, The Town and Argo
Cons: Might be tempted to cast himself as James »
Ten Things About... Alan Partridge
6 March 2013 1:00 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Aha! Steve Coogan's comic creation Alan Partridge bounced back last year thanks to his brilliant Mid Morning Matters series on Sky Atlantic. North Norfolk Digital's hapless radio host will complete his Lazarus-like comeback when The Alan Partridge Movie hits the silver screen this August.
To celebrate the return of one of Norwich's finest broadcasters - and the upcoming release of the Partrimilgrimage specials on DVD - we pick out 10 things you need to know about Alan Partridge.
1. Alan Gordon Partridge was born in 1955 to Dorothy Partridge at King's Lynn's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. His arrival coincided with Anthony Eden being named Prime Minister and Chelsea securing the First Division title. Alan spent much of his childhood in Norwich, but freely admits to experiencing difficulties with his emotionally distant father. He was also the victim of school bullying from classmates, who frequently taunted him with cries of "Smelly Alan Fartridge".

5 More Awful Films That Are Actually Really Good
3 March 2013 10:57 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
About two weeks ago I wrote an article about some films that are generally considered awful even if they’re actually very entertaining and well made. Every entry on my last list was a sequel except for one entry so I decided to make another list and avoid sequels as much as possible, with just the one exception this time.
The criteria for my list was based on as many “worst films of all time” lists as I could find, how much I hear about how terrible these movies are and if Mark Kermode, my favorite critic, hated the film or not. Like the first list, if a film is “so bad it’s good” then it doesn’t count – those chosen for inclusion here must be genuinely great movies that have a poor reputation as being awful.
Without further ado I present to you 5 more awful films that are actually really good. »

Those Glorious Old Movie Ads: "Moonraker" And "The Spy Who Loved Me" Double Feature (1980)
11 February 2013 3:23 AM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
James Bond double features used to be so popular that they would routinely out-gross many new films. The first double feature took place in 1965 with a team-up of Dr. No and From Russia With Love. By 1980, the double features were starting to fade but United Artists did put together this combo of two Roger Moore blockbusters: Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me. Cinema Retro reader Hank Reineke kindly provided this rare newspaper advertisement from a long-defunct New Jersey drive-in theater that presented the double bill in 1980. »

Tonight's Double-0 MovieMovie: The Spy Who Loved Me Starring Roger Moore
6 February 2013 8:06 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"Can you swim?"
While Sean Connery will always be the first actor to play James Bond, Roger Moore appeared in more movies as 007 — at least in terms of those considered "canon." Moore's third outing as Bond came in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me, which was based on the ninth novel in author Ian Fleming's James Bond series, though all the book and the movie share is the title.
Unhappy with the finished product, Fleming would only allow the movie's producers the right to the novel's name and not its story, allowing them to instead concoct a story where Bond teams up with a Soviet agent (Barbara Bach) to stop the sinister Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) from destroying the world and creating a new civilization undersea. In addition to providing several memorable moments in Bond movie history, including Bond's submarine car, The Spy Who Loved Me provided the first »

Ranked: The Ten Best Henchmen
30 January 2013 4:05 AM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Henchmen are one of the unsung heroes of cinema. They do the dirty jobs that no one else wants to do, and they keep the good guy from resting on his laurels by challenging him to some sort of entertaining action sequence. Sure, they may not be the smartest or the best-looking, but they serve a purpose and make movies more entertaining. Here is our list that honors the best henchmen of all time.
If there’s a big-time baddie in a movie, you can almost be certain that he didn’t rise up to prominence by himself. He had to have help, and that help usually came from henchmen. Not only do they make the bad guy better, they also make the good guy look good by getting beaten up and/or dying easily. Therefore, although it is a job with unique perks, it’s still a tough job. »

Adele to perform 'Skyfall' theme at Academy Awards -- Breaking
23 January 2013 3:18 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
It’s always a question: Will the Academy Awards telecast feature performances of the Original Song nominees?
Sometimes the answer is no, but this time … it’s looking like a yes.
Producers have indicated the frontrunner in that category, Adele’s massively popular theme to the James Bond thriller Skyfall, will be performed live during the Feb. 24 ceremony.
While the other nominees weren’t mentioned in the announcement, it’s unlikely one nominee will be allowed to perform unless the other contenders are welcome too — especially since one of them is written by Oscar host Seth MacFarlane and another could be performed by Hugh Jackman. »
