'Supernatural' Season 8 Finale Recap: The Sky Is Falling
15 May 2013 12:06 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »
Supernatural ended season 8 with some pretty massive changes. Neither the Gates of Hell nor the Gates of Heaven were actually closed, but I'll be damned if the final image of the season didn't leave me in awe. It was beautiful, tragic and sets up a very interesting ninth season. Let's just say I know what song should play over the opening montage of season 9, and it's Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven." »

Supernatural Review: Return of the Past
8 May 2013 10:30 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
For whatever reason, after seeing the well-crafted episode surrounding Metatron and discovering the final trial to close the Gates of Hell, I'd assumed that the follow up would perhaps be a more light and airy hour focused on reminiscing about the past and inadvertently connecting it to some present case.
Except, while on some level we did get to revisit prior experiences that were directly linked to Sam and Dean's possible future, "Clip Show" was way more involved with the end goal of Supernatural Season 8 than I could have imagined.
This wasn't a breezy look back by any means, but rather an intense rising of action and stakes on all fronts towards what is looking to be a game changing finale.
It was great to see Sam and Dean working together, backing each other up and going through the copious amounts of information at the bunker in order to figure »

How Many of the Movies from Roger Ebert's List of Great Movies Have You Seen?
10 April 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've mentioned before how several years ago I created a list using Roger Ebert's Great Movies, Oscar Best Picture winners, IMDb's Top 250, etc. and began going through them doing my best to see as many of the films on these lists that I had not seen as I possibly could to up my film I.Q. Well, someone has gone through the exhaustive effort to take all of the films Roger Ebert wrote about in his three "Great Movies" books, all of which are compiled on his website and added them to a Letterbxd list and I've added that list below. I'm not positive every movie on his list is here, but by my count there are 363 different titles listed (more if you count the trilogies, the Up docs and Decalogue) and of those 363, I have personally seen 229 and have added an * next to those I've seen. Clearly I have some work to do, »

Watch Werner Herzog Eat His Shoe, in Honor of Les Blank (1935-2013)
7 April 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Filmmaker Les Blank died today at age 77 from bladder cancer. He is best known for directing Burden of Dreams, a feature film on the making of Werner Herzog‘s Fitzcarraldo. Roger Ebert, who we lost to cancer just days ago, called it “one of the most remarkable documentaries ever made about the making of a movie.” Two years earlier, Blank made another film with Herzog as the subject. It’s wonderful title is Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe. Probably not coincidentally, it also involved one of Ebert’s favorite films of all time, Errol Morris‘s directorial debut, Gates of Heaven. The 20-minute short film is, of course, literally named. Blank shows us Herzog cooking up his shoe and then eating it during a public event, part on stage at the Uc Theater in Berkeley in front of a large crowd and part at a famous Berkeley restaurant called Chez Panisse.

Docu Filmmaker Les Blank Dies at 77
7 April 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Documentary filmmaker Les Blank, known for highly personal docus such as “Burden of Dreams” and “Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers,” died Sunday at his home in Berkeley, Calif., according to the New York Times. He was 77 and had been suffering from bladder cancer.
The prolific helmer profiled music personalities and delved into dozens of American and immigrant traditions, including Cajun, Mexican, Polish, Hawaiian and Serbian-American music and food. But his best-known film was 1982′ “Burden of Dreams,” which chronicled the making of Werner Herzog’s “Fitzcarraldo,” candidly showing the German helmer’s obsessive quest to shoot the film the South American jungle. A few years earlier, Blank had taken on another curious Herzog project: Herzog wanted to encourage his student Errol Morris to finish his film about pet cemeteries, and said he would eat his shoe if Morris finished it. Herzog kept his promise when “Gates of Heaven” wrapped »

The great ecstasy of the sculptor Herzog
2 February 2013 3:03 AM, PST | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
"A sense of obligation."
 
That man can be found at the center of Werner Herzog's films. He is Aguirre. He is Fitzcarraldo. He is the Nosferatu. He is Timothy Treadwell, who lived among the grizzlies. He is Little Dieter Dengler, who needed to fly. She is Fini Straubinger, who lived in a land of silence and darkness since she was 12. He is Kaspar Hauser. He is Klaus Kinski. He is the man who will not leave the slopes of the Guadeloupe volcano when it is about to explode. He is those who live in the Antarctic. She is Juliana Koepcke, whose plane crashed in the rain forest and she walked out alive. He is Graham Dorrington, who flew one of the smallest airships ever built »
