The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 28th May
28 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films.
In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that have already started rolling out, Play begin releasing their exclusive Blu-ray Steelbooks of some of the films this week, and if you’re a fan of Universal’s recent and classic catalogue, you’ll definitely want to invest in more than a few of these, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. There’ll be more of these in the weeks and months to come, as well as non-100th Anniversary Steelbook re-releases, so keep your eyes peeled.
My personal picks of the week:
Drake Doremus’ Like Crazy & Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene »

The Weekend Rent: Rick Baker's Out-of-This-World Oscar-Winning Creations
25 May 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Rick Baker might not be a household name, but the special-effects makeup maestro has won more Oscars—seven—than Steven Spielberg and Meryl Streep combined for creating some of cinema's most memorable creatures. This weekend he goes back for Men in Black III to create more outrageous aliens, including some groovy retro-looking ones for when Agent J (Will Smith) travels back in time to 1969 and encounters a younger Agent K (Josh Brolin). Baker's first professional gig was to assist makeup legend Dick Smith on The Exorcist. He worked on other notable movies for years (including second unit on Star Wars) and won his first Oscar for Best Makeup for An American Werewolf in London the first year the Academy created the category. The wolf transformations in...

While at home, she meets up with her brothers and a group of her old friends hanging out while a wild storm rages outside. The group notices some strange movements throughout the house that soon turn into a bloody rampage by this mysterious creature. Over the next 13 hours, Sarah and her friends are on the run within the house trying to survive the night.

Clip joint: Shopping malls

Help us sort through the racks for the best examples of shopping malls featured in film
This week's Clip joint is by Martyn Conterio. Think you can do better? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, send a message to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
The shopping mall on screen: where bland commercialism meets high drama. Over the past 40 years, cinema has used this environment for all sorts of strange and unusual scenarios, ranging from Woody Allen comedies to zombie sagas. A major lure for film-makers and producers is the salient matter of dispensing with constructing an expensive set – there's already one there.
That Anywheresville quality to shopping-mall interiors lends various films a universal feel. Don't all malls look basically the same on the inside, dominated by bright lighting, displays, food courts, neat rows of shops, fountains and sculptures? Almost naturally, American movie-makers have utilised the mall for many, »

Watch: Rick Baker discusses his work on 'Men In Black 3' and much more
22 May 2012 2:15 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Rick Baker is one of my heroes, artistically speaking. I fell in love with his work when I was young, and for most of my life, I've been watching his creations come to life onscreen and I've felt lucky to be witnessing them. When I saw "An American Werewolf In London" in 1981, the way he (along with John Landis and David Naughton) made a transformation from man to beast feel like a tactile, physical process involving heat and pain seemed miraculous. He has made the fantastic seem not only possible but absolutely probable for his whole career, and he has »

Actor John Woodvine Collapses On Stage
13 May 2012 7:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Veteran British actor John Woodvine is in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing on stage on Friday night.
The actor, who has starred in An American Werewolf in London and U.K. TV shows Z Cars and Shameless, was performing in the musical Carousel when he fell ill while in the wings of the Grand Theatre in Leeds, England.
Woodvine, who has enjoyed a long career with the Royal Shakespeare Company, was admitted to a local medical centre, where he is now recovering.
Eyewtiness John Wilford tells The Press Association, "Suddenly the action on stage appeared to slow down and stumble. Then suddenly the safety curtain came down. A man reached into the orchestra pit and told the conductor to stop playing. He jumped on stage and said: 'Is there a doctor in the house?' There was a surprised silence." »
The galactic disco genius of Meco!
11 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Twenty-five years ago, in a galaxy far, far away, disco producer Meco gave the Star Wars soundtrack an astronomical twist. Feast your ears on the cosmic funk
Quelque chose d'un wee bit différent this Friday, but bear with me: nearly 25 years ago, something momentous in world culture happened, an event that would sear the imaginations of every creative artist who has gone since, and if it didn't, well, it should have done. I refer not to the premiere of George Lucas's Star Wars, on 25 May 1977, but to the work of musical genius that the film inspired. John Williams's score? Only partly. Much, much better, indeed galactically finer, astronomically more ambitious, and charting new realms of cosmic genre-bending was what disco producer Meco came up with that summer.
Meco made a 15 minute suite on the themes of the movie, after obsessively watching the film in the first few days and weeks of its release. »
