Watch four Oscar winners have one wild trip in Last Vegas teaser
16 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Yes, it’s The Hangover for old people. But what do these guys have that Bradley Cooper and co. don’t? Oscars. Make that multiple Oscars.
Robert De Niro (Raging Bull, The Godfather: Part II), Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), Michael Douglas (Wall Street), and Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda) are out to prove that the fun doesn’t have to stop once you’re in your late 60s (and above) in the first teaser trailer for Last Vegas.
The senior crew heads to Vegas for that quintessential rite of passage: the bachelor party. They’re ready to party like it’s 1959 as they celebrate the last weekend of single freedom for Billy (Douglas). It’s a lot of white hair, laughing, dancing, and drinking. What happens in Vegas will probably stay in Vegas since these guys will likely just forget they were ever there.

Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
Now that Cannes is around the corner, the trailers and teasers, posters and flyers are piling up, ready for the great jamboree that is the Croisette competition. But the one that really got us going was the trailer for a little number that didn't get anywhere near the Palais du Festivals: The World's End, the new one from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and director Edgar Wright. All of them have been stretching their wings a little since Hot Fuzz – Pegg in Star Trek, Wright with Scott Pilgrim, Frost in the TV adaptation of Money – but their reunion has sparked lots of interest, and fond memories of their previous work. No doubt that's what's behind the plotline – a bunch of middle-aged men get together 20 years after an epic pub crawl to repeat the experience – and find »
Raging Bull: an undisputed historical heavyweight

Martin Scorsese's 1980 masterpiece squeezes in the brilliance, the charisma and the paranoia of Jake Lamotta without chaining itself to every point of fact
Director: Martin Scorsese
Entertainment grade: A
History grade: A–
Jake Lamotta was boxing's world middleweight champion between 1949 and 1951.
Character
The film begins in 1941, with Jake Lamotta (Robert De Niro) fighting in the ring and fighting his first wife, Ida. It's shocking – though not as shocking as in an earlier draft of the screenplay, in which he was to be shown kicking and punching her while she was pregnant. The violence isn't out of keeping with that admitted in Lamotta's 1970 autobiography, also called Raging Bull, in which he says he once thought he had killed Ida in a drunken fight, and owns up to a catalogue of violent incidents against various people including a couple of sexual assaults. If anything, Lamotta's terrifying characterisation in the film has »

Usher Preps For Sugar Ray Role
3 May 2013 1:43 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New Orleans — Grammy-winning singer Usher believes his dancing skills will help him in his upcoming role as Sugar Ray Leonard in "Hands of Stone," a new boxing film about the great brawler Roberto Duran.
Usher said he has been preparing to play Leonard – a fighter with fast hands, smooth feet and a wide smile – for more than a year and still needs to lose nearly 25 pounds before shooting begins in October.
The movie is based on Duran, a world champion in four weight divisions over a career that spanned five decades. Duran, whose nickname was "Hands of Stone," rose from the slums of Panama to defeat an unbeaten Leonard in 1980 and claim the Wbc welterweight title, only to lose the rematch several months later in the infamous "no mas" fight.
Usher said he was honored to play Leonard in the film.

Robert De Niro Walks Into Stephen Gaghan’s Candy Store
3 May 2013 8:58 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Robert De Niro may be one of the greatest actors ever, but in recent years he hasn’t exactly been giving it his all. Can you really blame him though? If you had credits like The Godfather, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver on your resume you’d probably also feel that you’ve earned the right to slack off a bit. Last year, De Niro made up for his recent string of crummy performances with a great role in David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook. It was his best performance in years and now he looks to follow it up with three more promising films. The first two are American Hustle (again with Russell) and Luc Besson’s Malavita. The third film, which was just announced today, will be Candy Store.
Yes, that’s right, De Niro will be joining Stephen Gaghan’s much buzzed about Candy Store, which »

Martin Scorsese Talks Taxi Driver
3 May 2013 2:58 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Here's an interesting little anecdote for any fans of Taxi Driver out there: Martin Scorsese was so keen to get the film made that he considered shooting on black-and-white video when he had trouble raising the money to film on, er, film, as he reveals in this deleted scene from filmmaking documentary Side By Side. brightcove.createExperiences();It's hard to imagine the film in black-and-white now, given how far its sunk into the fabric of our collective imagination, but perhaps the result could have been a little like Scorsese's slightly later classic, Raging Bull. The only problem would be that shooting on '70s video stock might have left us with a rather grainier version of the drama that might not have survived as well.Side By Side, of course, is the recent documentary that quizzes top directors and cinematographers on their preferences in film or digital filmmaking to examine »
Tribeca: Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese & Jerry Lewis Reflect On 'The King Of Comedy,' Improv, Deleted Scenes & More
29 April 2013 11:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The Tribeca Film Festival closed last night with a digitally-restored screening of “The King Of Comedy.” Thirty years later, the film still reverberates as an acidic take on celebrity worship that has, oddly enough, become timeless, and the re-master is gorgeous. The film was greeted with rapturous applause, but the real fireworks started after a raucous Q+A featuring a chatty Martin Scorsese, a shy Robert De Niro, and a more-than-eager Jerry Lewis. Scorsese and De Niro spoke first about the genesis of “The King Of Comedy,” a script by Paul Zimmerman that late-night devotee Scorsese could not figure out. “It was between ’75, to 1980 before I could actually get it,” the director said. “I discovered it as I went along.” Scorsese referred to how “The King Of Comedy” was very much looked upon as one of the last of a dying breed of picture. “We did ‘Raging Bull,’ and that »

I knew that Marlon Brando played a former boxer, and that he had fallen from grace for one reason or another. What I was not prepared for was the gut-punch I got from a story so typical of '50s cinematic rebels. The dismantling of the American Dream and disintegration of the...

10 Finest Uses of Human Bodily Fluid In Cinema History
28 April 2013 1:20 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Blood, urine, semen, saliva, sweat – they’re all a little disgusting, which of course means they are regularly depicted in movies. Most of the time, the appearance of these liquids is ridiculously childish toilet humor, but on rare occasions a film makes use of human bodily fluids to great effect. It’s these movies we’re focusing on for the 10 Finest Uses of Human Bodily Fluid in Cinema History.
For this article we’re going to look at 10 different bodily fluids – sweat, vomit, breast milk, nasal mucus, saliva, menstrual blood, urine, tears, pus, and semen. And, perhaps not shockingly, there are a lot of movies covering these liquids.
Honorable Mentions
The following fluids won’t be covered in this article, but these scenes deserve mentioning in any article about the stuff that oozes from the human body.

5 Surprising Personal Passion Projects of Legendary Directors
20 April 2013 11:08 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
There’s something inherently lonely and tortured about being a director. Yes, you’re the tyrant of the set and dictator of the vision, but you’re also the man (or woman) behind the curtain, the puppet master who never appears on stage….unless you’re Clint Eastwood or Quentin Tarantino. Or Alfred Hitchcock….or Roman Polanski…Anyway, the point is that you may be the genius behind a film, and celebrated as such, but you’re no superstar. There’s a reason why they are often referred to as voyeurs.
But the upside is that, once you’re an established money-maker, you can afford to be creative in your guises. That is, to put your dream on screen. Most directors have at some stage championed their baby, a cherished passion project which is their love letter to their craft. However, it’s quite galling how this endeavor often falls on deaf ears. »

Seconds out - ding ding!

Joining that fine tradition we now have a pair of old man boxing movies. In the red corner, Sly Stallone and Robert De Niro in Grudge Match. And now, newly arrived in the blue corner, please welcome James Caan and Louis Gossett Jr. in Fighting Man.Ok, so it's not quite the heavyweight Rocky / Raging Bull pairing of its rival, but Caan has The Godfather and a Peckinpah film under his belt (not to mention the excellent and underrated Peckinpah homage Way Of the Gun), while Gossett took the gloves off for four Iron Eagles and the Dolph version of The Punisher.

Six of the Best: The Directors – Martin Scorsese
16 April 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
There are few directors still plying their trade today who can rival Martin Scorsese when it comes to the quality and variety of their filmography. The native New Yorker has frequently created brutal and violent stories featuring deeply flawed and morally questionable protagonists, covering such sombre subjects as guilt, greed, machismo and mental instability along the way. However, despite these dark elements which give his work such an incisive edge; his movies are always energetic and vibrant affairs and represent pure escapist cinema at its best.
Not only does he deliver movies filled with unforgettable images, but also equally unforgettable soundtracks. In addition to being a master storyteller, Marty is also a master of the pop soundtrack, with so many of his movies reverberating with his love of pop, Motown and rock and roll.

Martin Scorsese Bails On The Snowman, Universal Seeks Replacement
15 April 2013 11:26 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
With such hard-hitting dramas as Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Taxi Driver Martin Scorsese has forged a reputation as one of America's most influential contemporary filmmakers. He's been helming features for nearly fifty years with no sign of stopping, but it's Scorsese's ever-packed schedule that is to blame for Universal losing faith in his involvement with The Snowman. Based on the Harry Hole detective novel by Jo Nesbo, The Snowman is a crime-thriller that follows Hole's investigation into a strange series of murders that plague Norway on the first snowfall of the year. With a gritty cat and mouse tale of cops and killers, the project seemed a perfect fit for Scorsese, who signed on in the fall of 2011. However, Universal, the studio behind the project, is losing patience with Scorsese as he has a stack of other projects that appear to take priority over The Snowman, including his the recently »
