Frances Ha Review
15 May 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Two Brooklyn roommates reveal laughs and heartache in sweet friendship tale. The Woody Allen comparisons are true regarding Frances Ha (in cinemas this week from IFC Films), a fun and lovely tale of female friendship between two Brooklyn roommates from veteran filmmaker Noah Baumbach and co-written with his lead actress Greta Gerwig. Some surface level “Woody” comparisons come from the fact that Baumbach and cameraman Sam Levy tell the story via stunning, black-and-white photography and Brooklyn has never looked more beautiful. But the magical “Woody” spirit, that warm feeling that brings up memories of past movies like Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters has more to do with the wonderfully drawn friends of Frances (Gerwig), a dancer, and Sophie »

My father thought I was gay: Michael Caine
8 May 2013 3:37 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, May 8: Academy Award-winning actor Michael Caine says his father thought he was gay when he told him that he wants to be an actor.
He said: "My dad was a Billingsgate fish market porter. When I told him that I was going to be an actor, he never said a word but I saw his face and thought, he thinks I'm gay. The theatre in those days was very gay. But I wasn't."
Caine won supporting actor Oscar in 1986 for "Hannah and Her Sisters" and later in 1999 for "The Cider House Rules".
The 80-year-old actor also admitted that he was very shy as a kid and avoided talking to anyone.
"I was the shyest child. If. »

With Durbin Gone, Who's Still Around from the '30s?
7 May 2013 3:41 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Oscar winners Olivia de Havilland and Luise Rainer among movie stars of the 1930s still alive With the passing of Deanna Durbin this past April, only a handful of movie stars of the 1930s remain on Planet Earth. Below is a (I believe) full list of surviving Hollywood "movie stars of the 1930s," in addition to a handful of secondary players, chiefly those who achieved stardom in the ensuing decade. Note: There’s only one male performer on the list — and curiously, four of the five child actresses listed below were born in April. (Please scroll down to check out the list of Oscar winners at the 75th Academy Awards, held on March 23, 2003, as seen in the picture above. Click on the photo to enlarge it. © A.M.P.A.S.) Two-time Oscar winner and London resident Luise Rainer (The Great Ziegfeld, The Good Earth, The Great Waltz), 103 last January »

In the mood for love: is Brief Encounter still the most romantic film ever?
23 April 2013 2:39 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Time Out has put its heart on its sleeve and shouted its Brief Encounter infatuation from the rooftops. Will you join them in their lovebombing of the 68-year-old classic? Or have your tastes in romantic movies moved on?
Sam played it again, now it's our turn to plug in the turntable and petition you once more for your top romance films of all time. The peg? Time Out's 100 Most Romantic Films of all Time poll, which has been announced today, and which names Brief Encounter as the title most likely to get your heart a-flutter.
But by our reckoning, the Time Out folk are cruising for a bruising; when we came to the same conclusion three years ago, the readers felt we'd done them wrong, and suggested Casablanca was Mr Right when it came to romantic movies.
Do you feel the same? Has your taste for gin joints endured over the past three years? »
10 Directors Who Seriously Detested Their Own Movies
23 March 2013 3:42 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
As a directors’ filmography grows and we look back on their most prominent and classic works, a consensus emerges about what films are their best, what are their worse, etc. While many will constantly debate whether Raging Bull is better than Goodfellas, if Vertigo is Hitchcock’s best film, if Christopher Nolan ever bettered Memento, as well as what films are “underrated” or “overrated,” people can mostly agree on what are the definitive works of a specific director. But what do directors think of their own works?
It’s sometimes surprising to discover that some directors aren’t huge fans of their most acclaimed and popular films. This article will look at the directors who were either apathetic or straight up hated their own films. It goes to show that in many cases, an artist’s toughest critic is themselves.

To Sir Caine, With Love
14 March 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Ja from Mnpp here, wishing the great Sir Michael Caine a happy 80th birthday. I used pictures of him in Children of Men and as Alfred in Nolan's Batman movies mostly because they express his admirable range succinctly - can you imagine a conversation between Alfred and Jasper? - but they're also two of my favorite performances from him, at least from within the past decade or so. I'm not much of a Batman fan but Caine did some very good work therein. Looking further back his role in Dirty Rotten Soundrels was a favorite of mine when I was young, and then of course there's Hannah and Her Sisters, with that infamous Oscar tale of missing the ceremony so he could shoot Jaws: The Revenge. (Sad but true fact - I have seen Jaws: The Revenge more times than I have seen Hannah and Her Sisters. Stone me now. »

Happy 80th birthday, Sir Michael Caine!
The newfound octogenarian has seen a long, prolific film career that finds us celebrating his award-winning legacy as he embarks on a new decade in his life. With prominent roles in films like "Get Carter," 'Hannah and Her Sisters," "The Cider House Rules" and Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the lovable Caine has cemented his place as one of America's favorite British transplants. His famously endearing accent and highbrow drawl have made him one of today's most beloved -- and imitated -- stars.
In honor of this wonderful new decade in Caine's life, here's a look back at a few memorable quotes and moments from the actor's long career.

Top Ten 1980s

for discussion fun
Tootsie, one of the inarguably great American comedies
"The Tuesday Top Ten will get more article-like soon," he said (again). "It really will." But it was so much fun to discuss the 1930s and the 1970s, which are arguably the two most respected decades (critically speaking) of American cinema. So how about a decade that gets no respect? The 1980s. The '80s are tough for me to feel discerning about because I lived through them and was a) young and b) just falling in love with the movies and c) just falling hard for the movies so how could the cinema possibly have been hitting its nadir? I still have inordinate fondness for movies that might more safely be called guilty pleasures like Yentl, Superman II, Splash, Return of the Jedi, Clue, and about half of the filmography of John Hughes... and so on.

PaleyFest 2013: The top 5 nuggets from the cast of 'The Mindy Project'

Fans of The Mindy Project were treated to a lively Q&A with some of the core members of the cast and producing staff, and a chance to see “Mindy’s Birthday” (airing March 19), Friday in Los Angeles at the PaleyFest.
Fresh off the news that The Mindy Project would be returning to Fox for a second season, the cast seemed grateful and at ease, and spent the majority of the panel doing their Chris Messina impressions. Show creator Mindy Kaling was sweet, gracious and self-deprecating, and admitted that she loves to look at Messina and that she was excited »

First Still From Woody Allen’s New Film “Blue Jasmine” Is Unveiled
7 March 2013 8:15 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The first still from the latest Woody Allen film, Blue Jasmine, has today been released by Sony Pictures Classics.
The images shows a beautiful Cate Blanchett (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Sally Hawkins (Made In Dagenham), in a film which reportedly tells “the story of the final stages of an acute crisis in the life of a fashionable New York housewife.” The stellar cast includes Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin (who starred in 2012′s To Rome With Love) and – in a pairing come true – comedian Louis C.K.
This film marks the sixth collaboration between the legendary filmmaker and Sony Pictures Classics, who were also behind his triumphant Midnight In Paris, which starred Owen Wilson and a personal favourite of mine, Marion Cotillard. Other classic Allen films include the enduring Annie Hall, Manhattan, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex, Hannah and Her Sisters, Husbands And Wives and Sleeper. »

Christoph Waltz and Quentin Tarantino make Oscars history with 'Django Unchained' wins
27 February 2013 6:51 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Both of the Oscars wins for "Django Unchained" -- Christoph Waltz (Best Supporting Actor) and Quentin Tarantino (Best Original Screenplay) -- are history making. Waltz, who claimed this same award three years ago for "Inglorious Basterds," his first collaboration with Tarantino, is the seventh actor to win more than once in this category, following: Walter Brennan: "Come and Get It" (1936), "Kentucky" (1938), "The Westerner" (1940); Anthony Quinn: "Viva Zapata!" (1952), "Lust for Life" (1956); Peter Ustinov: "Spartacus" (1960), "Topkapi" (1964); Jason Robards: "All the President's Men" (1976), "Julia" (1977); Melvyn Douglas: "Hud" (1963), "Being There" (1979); and Michael Caine: "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986 »
Lead Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated

This article is dedicated to Andrew Copp: filmmaker, film writer, artist and close friend who passed away on January 19, 2013. You are loved and missed, brother.

Looking at the Best Actor Academy Award nominations for the film year 2012, the one miss that clearly cries out for more attention is Liam Neeson’s powerful performance in Joe Carnahan’s excellent survival film The Grey, easily one of the best roles of Neeson’s career.
In Neeson’s case, his lack of a nomination was a case of neglect similar to the Albert Brooks snub in the Best Supporting Actor category for the film year 2011 for Drive(Nicolas Winding Refn, USA).
Along with negligence, other factors commonly prevent outstanding lead acting performances from getting the kind of critical attention they deserve. Sometimes it’s that the performance is in a film not considered “Oscar material” or even worthy of any substantial critical attention. »

10 Most Ridiculous Oscar Snubs Of All Time
21 February 2013 6:44 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The biggest awards ceremony in the entertainment industry, The Oscars, is to take place on Sunday, to honour what are supposedly the best movies from 2012. However, we all had a good whinge when the nominations were announced, as we do every year, that certain people (and one director in particular) were snubbed, causing us to question how valid the show’s prestigious reputation really is.
The Academy has a weird knack for making bizarre choices, likely owing to the demographics that it is comprised of; Oscar voters are primarily middle-aged, white and male, which of course is not a representative cross-section of society or a reflection of the films vying for competition.
The result is that the same sorts of films tend to be nominated every year, while far more challenging, ambitious fare falls by the wayside.
Still, these 10 snubs should have been, on the whole, sure things, given how widely acclaimed each achievement was, »

Oscars: 20 most memorable Academy Awards acceptance speeches
18 February 2013 12:54 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
"And the Oscar goes to…" Five words that will send nervous tingles through even the coolest of Hollywood customer. Winning an Academy Award can prompt tears of joy, euphoria, the desire to kiss whoever crosses your path or, in the case of Joe Pesci, extreme terseness.
As the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Affleck ready themselves for the big night on Sunday (February 24), Digital Spy takes a look back at 20 of the most memorable acceptance speeches in Oscars history.
20. Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose (2007)
"Thank you life, thank you love. It is true, there are some angels in this city!" So usually a calm and restrained presence in interviews, Marion Cotillard let her emotions run free as she picked up a much-deserved Oscar for her barnstorming turn as Édith Piaf.

DVD Review - Darling Companion (2012)
10 February 2013 11:43 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Darling Companion, 2012.
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan.
Starring Mark Duplass, Richard Jenkins, Diane Keaton, Kevin Kline, Elisabeth Moss, Sam Shepard, Dianne Wiest and Ayelet Zurer.
Synopsis:
Mother and daughter, Beth and Grace, find a bedraggled dog on the side of the freeway. Taking it home and rescuing it, the dog helps Grace meet a man - but Beth's husband hates the dog and it just might cause even more friction within the family...
Darling Companion represents one of the biggest wastes of talent, either on or off screen, to ever get together and make a film.
There’s too many people involved here to write it off as a minor blip. The main offender is writer/director Lawrence Kasdan for writing a 100 minute script about the wealthy people looking for a dog one of them found abandoned next to the freeway. The lost dog becomes a crass metaphor for love and »

The Top 10 Actors Turned Directors

By Joey Magidson
Film Contributor

I’ve always had a soft spot for films that are directed by actors. In one of my recent pieces, I spoke about how the Academy looks at actors who direct. Now, I’ll be continuing my interest by focusing in on which of these multi-hyphenates are the best at what they do.
By and large, the films that actors make when they choose directorial projects have some sort of significance for them or at least play to their strengths, so disasters are few and far between. This makes it a lot of fun to celebrate the best of the bunch, since I’m able to draw from a larger pool than you normally can when looking at one particular type of filmmaker.
I take some comfort in knowing that most films directed by actors tend to be at least decent, if not better. I »

2013 Governors Ball Preview For 85th Academy Awards
24 January 2013 4:02 PM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Nothing like an exciting award show to work up an appetite, and after the last gold guy has been handed out at this year’s Oscar ceremony, the stars will feast at the annual Governor’s Ball – one of the hottest post-Oscar parties in town. Academy governor Jeffrey Kurland, event producer Cheryl Cecchetto and master chef Wolfgang Puck will return to create this year’s Governors Ball, the Academy’s official post-Oscar® celebration, which will immediately follow the 85th Academy Awards® ceremony on Sunday, February 24. The 1,500 guests of the Governors Ball include Academy Award® winners and nominees, show presenters and other telecast participants.
We caught up with celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck as we sampled some of this year’s fare being offered. “This year we want the guests to be free to move around with small plates, rather than be tied to a table with a big meal,” said Puck. »

Did Mia Farrow Retire?
23 January 2013 10:35 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Mia Farrow last appeared onscreen in the Todd Solondz film "Dark Horse" in 2011. Now, according to her ever-cheeky Twitter account, Farrow is retiring from acting. Or maybe not.
Farrow made the announcement days after Leonardo DiCaprio said he was taking a "long, long break" from acting.
Immediately after posting that tweet, Farrow joked about how she would officially announce her retirement.
Farrow, 67, rocketed to fame after starring in "Rosemary's Baby" in 1968. She's perhaps best known for her work with Woody Allen, with whom she had a relationship offscreen for 12 years. Farrow appeared in the Allen classics "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Crimes and Misdemeanors," "The Purple Rose of Cairo," "Broadway Danny Rose," and "Husbands and Wives" among others. She currently has no film projects in development, according to IMDb.
