The 2011 romantic drama W.E. represents the feature film directorial debut of Madonna.
Co-written by Madonna and Alek Keshishian (Madonna: Truth or Dare), the film looks at two different love stories intertweined across the decades: The love affair of King Edward VIII (James D’Arcy, Age of Heroes) and American divorcée Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough, Happy-Go-Lucky) in the 1930s, and a modern romance between a married New York woman (Abbie Cornish, Sucker Punch) and a Russian security guard (Oscar Isaac, Drive) at Sothebys Auction House.
Though it received a handful of honors, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Costume Design and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song (Motion Picture) for Madonna’s song “Masterpiece,” W.E. didn’t make much of an impression on critics or audiences. »

Kevin Costner's bonkers plan to cast Princess Diana in a Bodyguard sequel
12 April 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The actor-director has talked about the 'dignified, sexy, smart, funny' script for the followup movie that was tragically never to be
Quote of the week is Mr Kevin Costner on Princess Diana, with the Bodyguard legend telling an interviewer: "I told her I would take care of her just the same way I took care of Whitney."
To which I'm afraid the only rational response is: Please Stop Taking Care Of People, Kevin.
Having said that, what a pleasure it is to see one of this column's particular pets emerging from baffling irrelevance, with a performance critics are already calling his finest since that self-effacing turn at Whitney Houston's funeral. Which in turn is widely held to be the most hilariously hammy performance at a sending-off since Tony Blair gave us his Corinthians 1 at the aforementioned Princess Di's funeral.

Madonna inspired Katy Perry's 3D movie - Realbollywood.com News
10 April 2012 5:08 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, Apr 10: Katy Perry has credited pop diva Madonna with inspiring her upcoming 3D concert movie.
The 27-year-old invited a camera crew to film her California Dreams Tour for Part Of Me, which will feature live footage and touch on personal issues including her failed marriage to Russell Brand.
The 'Firework' singer admits plans for the forthcoming documentary were inspired by the Material Girl and her 1991 film 'Madonna: Truth or Dare', which chronicled the pop icon's Blond Ambition World Tour.
"Madonna is everything to me, and that movie is amazing, because it caught her at a time when she was a bit more. »

Madonna: Truth or Dare
9 April 2012 8:50 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Madonna: Truth or Dare was once the highest grossing documentary of all time, and twenty years after its release remains firmly in the top ten. It might be surprising that very few other documentaries about pop culture have resonated so much with audiences; then again, Madonna is no mere pop star, but rather, an icon. Truth or Dare came out in theaters at a time when she was the biggest pop star in the world; its release on Blu-ray, coincides with the release of her latest album, Mdna, which topped the charts in its first week. Very clever timing, Miramax. Very clever indeed.

5 April DVD Titles You Should Know About, Including 'Chinatown,' 'A Trip To The Moon' & 'Girl On A Motorcycle'
4 April 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the future of home entertainment may be rapidly moving towards a digital streaming-led future, we can't be the only movie nerds who still love owning a physical copy of something. Sure, BluRay and DVD might be scratchable, easily lost and adorned by terrible box art, but there's something about the feeling of finding an undiscovered gem in the depths of a store, or getting a rarity in the post, that doesn't quite compare to clicking and watching something on Netflix.
As such, starting with this column, every month we're going to pick out five BluRays or DVDs new to the market that no self-respecting cinephile's shelves could do without. Some are shiny new versions of stone-cold classics, some are obscurities, some might even be brand new releases (although less often: those are covered pretty well elsewhere). Read on for more.

This Week on DVD and Blu-ray: War Horse, We Bought a Zoo, Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey
3 April 2012 10:04 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
It's definitely slim pickings on DVD and Blu-ray this week with even fewer new releases than usual, but at least there's a power trio of family films that includes Steven Spielberg's War Horse, Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo and the acclaimed documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey. Beyond that we've also got Paddy Considine's bleak directorial debut Tyrannosaur and the first season of Chris Elliott's Adult Swim series Eagleheart, which I have heard good things about. As for Blu-ray, it's all about Roman Polanski's Chinatown and Madonna: Truth or Dare, a movie that remains to this day one of the highest grossing documentaries of all time. What will you be buying or renting this week? Check out the full list of releases after the jump. Amazon.com Widgets

'Chinatown,' 'Tyrannosaur' and 'War Horse' On Blu-ray and DVD This Week
3 April 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Chinatown (Blu-ray) I already wrote about the new Blu-ray for Chinatown, urging you to pick it up so I don't know what else there is to say. Of the films hitting the shelves today it is, without a doubt, the top pick for purchase. Nothing comes close.
Tyrannosaur While nothing comes close to Chinatown in terms of purchasing power, I will certainly recommend you give Paddy Considine's excellent feature directorial debut, Tyrannosaur, a watch. It is, however, quite dark and a bit disturbing so it's a hard one to recommend as a buy. You can read my glowing review of it from last year right here.
Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (Limited Edition) Ironically enough, just this last weekend I recorded F.W. Murnau's Sunrise off Turner Classic Movies and haven't yet watched it. I've only seen it once before and am anxious to return to it »

Blu-ray, DVD Release: Madonna: Truth or Dare

Price: Blu-ray $14.99 , DVD $9.98

Madonna strips a pose in Truth or Dare.
The life of pop super-duper star Madonna and her wildly popular 1990 “Blond Ambition” concert tour is chronicled in the 1991 documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare.
Directed by Alex Keshishian (Love and Other Disasters), Truth or Dare is filled with razzle-dazzle concert sequences spotlighting such Madonna hits as “Express Yourself,” “Hanky Panky,” “Like A Virgin,” “Material Girl” and “Vogue,” the song that kicked off her halftime performance at Superbowl Xlvi. Interspersed between the musical segments are a slew of behind-the-scenes moments revealing Madonna rehearsing with her dancers, cavorting with her buddies, and flirting with Warren Beatty (Ishtar), her leading boy-toy at that time.
Currently the top-selling female artist of all-time, Madonna has sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. That said, I’m thinking this one will make some sweet music at retail.
