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.

Michael Palin, Bafta 2013 winner: 'My life has been a series of lucky accidents'
4 May 2013 4:10 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The actor and presenter on winning a Bafta lifetime achievement award, life after Monty Python and why he's not finished yet
Michael Palin has a measured view of his latest prize. He's delighted to win a Bafta fellowship – of course he is; it's the most prestigious award the Academy bestows – "but my lifetime's not over yet," the 70-year-old says firmly. Palin is firmer than you would imagine, nowhere near as twinkly or boyish as he seems on the telly. "I got my first lifetime achievement award years ago [a British Comedy award in 2002], and I was very excited, but then I got a sense of: Well, can one get a second lifetime award?"
In the decade since his life's work was first honoured, he has presented six hit travel series, written a novel, published two sets of diaries and served as president of the Royal Geographical Society. Add in the preceding decades' work and you »

American Masters Review - Joe Papp in Five Acts (2010)
4 April 2013 3:21 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
For those attending the 2013 Toronto Jewish Film Festival, they will be able to see the documentary Joe Papp in Five Acts (2010) which is to be aired as part of the PBS series American Masters back in 2010. The story is as educational as the man who decided to bring the plays of William Shakespeare to the masses by orchestrating free stage performances. “I believe that great art is for everyone--not just the rich or the middle class," stated Papp. "When I go into East Harlem or Bedford-Stuyvesant and see the kids who come to see our shows, I see nothing so clearly as myself.”
Not only did the theatre company on wheels entertain audience members it also proved to be a fertile training ground for developing actors, playwrights, and future Broadway productions. The multi-tasking duo of Tracie Holder and Karen Thorsen who produced, directed and wrote the project have assembled a »

The 10 Hottest "Best Supporting Actor" Performances
20 February 2013 11:14 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
The 85th Academy Awards are at last upon us, and unfortunately we only have a few more days to think about the eternal hotness of some of the men they honor. As a companion piece to our Hottest Best Actor countdown, I present to you an important follow-up: The 10 Hottest Best Supporting Actor performances. Heath Ledger, Javier Bardem, and Christian Bale were too inhumanely grotesque to warrant inclusion, I'm sort of sorry to say. But who wasn't? Check 'em out below.
10. George Clooney in Syriana
Get this: Syriana is the one movie on this list I haven't seen. Should I feel bad about that? George's win always struck me as compensation for the fact that he wasn't going to win the directing Oscar for Good Night and Good Luck (which he noted in his awful speech), but maybe it's a great performance. Also: I am not attracted to him in any way, »

Greatest Heist Partners
17 February 2013 2:01 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
The knack to pulling off any great heist, on the silver screen or otherwise, is forward planning. You’ve got to work the angles, visualise the entry, rehearse the execution and, most importantly, plan for disaster. Now, I don’t know about you, but that seems like a lot to get sorted out in your own head – surely that’s why there are so many great cinematic heist partnerships!
To celebrate the impending release of Robot and Frank, the story of a retired jewel-thief and his relationship with a highly-intelligent robot sidekick, we’ve rifled through the films of the ages and bagged ourselves some of cinema’s greatest heist partnerships.
Charlie Croker and Mr Bridger – Michael Caine and Noel Coward – The Italian Job
In our opinion, all the best heists are crimes of revenge, and what greater revenge than on those suspected of causing your best friend’s death? »

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 »

5 British Film Comedies That Must Never Be Remade
6 February 2013 6:33 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Over the last decade or so, a particular trend in Hollywood has arisen: taking a beloved British comedy and Americanizing it. It’s happened to Bedazzled, The Ladykillers and Last Holiday. In the cases of Bedazzled and Last Holiday, major roles were changed from male to female. All three films were updated and modernized to give a more “hip” take on the material. But the reviews were mixed at best. More recent British comedies are not immune to this trend either, as evidenced by the remake of Death at a Funeral.
Maybe there’s just something about British comedy that makes it difficult to be successfully Americanized. That’s why so many American versions of British sitcoms fail and shows like All in the Family, Sanford and Son and The Office are the exception, not the rule.
As a lifelong fan of British comedy films, there are some that I »

My Favourite Arnie Movie - True Lies (1994)
21 January 2013 11:16 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
With Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the big screen in The Last Stand, the Flickering Myth writing team look back at their favourite Arnie movies. Next up, Piers McCarthy with 1994's True Lies...
Imagine a world where Arnie had not met James Cameron. Hating to build on his already huge ego, Arnie does owe a lot to The Terminator, Avatar and Abyss director. Were it not for the infamous scene (originally penned as "I will be back" though changed with Cameron's insistence to "I'll be back") we wouldn't have the Austrian Oak as a beloved celebrity, or at least not in the same way. Collaborating on The Terminator and T2 established a great working relationship, making the two of them the icons they are today. If one can pick any faults in these two films it’s that they took themselves very seriously. In light of this minor / pedantic criticism, Cameron »
