14 May 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Solomon Kane is a flick that's gotten a lot of flack over the last couple of years. Is it perfect? No, but it is pretty damned good. Then again, what the hell do I know? I liked The Devil Inside. In any event, the flick is finally headed to Blu-ray and DVD.

David Slade, Jim Sheridan, Ken Loach & More Line Up New Projects
9 May 2013 7:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
From serious historical dramas to light Vince Vaughn comedies, we have an abundance of director news to share with you for your reading pleasure…The subject of World War II is one that director Volker Schlöndorff has revisited quite often throughout his work, and it looks like he’s going back to that well once again. He briefly mentioned the project when we spoke to him earlier this year at the Göteborg International Film Festival. The film, “Diplomacy,” tells the true story of a German officer who saved Paris from destruction, and it takes place on the day when Paris was liberated by the Allies. Dietrich von Choltitz, the German military governor of Paris, was ordered by Adolf Hitler to blow up the city but chose not to thanks to the influence of the Swedish ambassador. [Variety] Speaking of WWII dramas, “In the Name of the Father” director Jim Sheridan is »

8 Urban Myths About Movies You Probably Believe
7 May 2013 1:37 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Tacit assumptions are both the plague of and the creator of everyday conversation. You’ll have noticed this; someone will say something inane like “There are 9 planets in the galaxy!” and someone else will say “There’s 10, actually.” This will be disagreed with, thus creating a debate and in this way, the time with your friends becomes infinitely more profitable than the turgid silence in which you would otherwise languish. Urban myths are the same; someone will blurt out some ad-hoc belief like “That building over there is haunted” and you will fulfill your end of the deal by calling them a smelly tramp, thus debate, thus joy, happiness, goodness, existence.
Cinema invites such assumptions, being as it is one of the popular media of the 21st Century. You see, the more esoteric the interest, the less opportunity there is for myth to arise; in quantum physics, for example, if »

6 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
This week: Tom Cruise proves naysayers wrong yet again in the above-average thriller "Jack Reacher," which was shot entirely in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is based on Lee Child's 2005 mystery novel, "One Shot."
Also new this week is the horror hit "Mama" with Jessica Chastain, the Nicholas Sparks adaptation "Safe Haven" with Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough and the Blu-ray 3D conversion of "Gamer" with Gerard Butler.
Box Office: $80 million
Rotten Tomatoes: 61% Fresh
Storyline: After five people are shot to death along a riverside Pittsburgh trail, a man is arrested and writes only one message: "Get Jack Reacher." Tom Cruise plays Reacher, an ex-military investigator who lives off the grid and ascertains that the accused has been framed. Reacher teams up with the accused's defense attorney (Rosamund Pike) to figure out who is really behind the shootings on the North Shore Trail and whether or not »

'My Left Foot' director Jim Sheridan to adapt WWII book 'Playing with the Enemy'
2 May 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
There are sports movies. There are war movies. Playing with the Enemy will be both, and it’s set to be directed by Jim Sheridan, who has worked in both genres before.
Sheridan will direct the film and re-write its script, EW has confirmed. Deadline first reported the news.
The film is an adaptation of the 2006 book Playing with the Enemy by Gary W. Moore, about his father, Gene Moore, who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers before joining the Navy in 1940. While stationed at a prisoner of war camp in Louisiana, he taught German POWs how to play baseball.

Jim Sheridan Set To Direct WWII Drama, ‘Playing With The Enemy’
1 May 2013 6:03 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Deadline reports that writer/director Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father) is set to rewrite and direct the WWII drama Playing With The Enemy, based on the book by Gary W. Moore.
The book chronicles the story of the author’s father Gene Moore, a former baseball prodigy who joined the Navy and was eventually stationed at a Pow camp in Louisiana where he taught German prisoners how to play America’s favorite pastime. The story explores the relationship between the guards and prisoners at the height of the war as well as the dynamics of the relationship between the author and his father.
Sheridan has written some powerful screenplays in his time and on more than one occasion he’s worked with one of the best actors of all time, Daniel Day-Lewis.
Sheridan is expected to begin production on this film after he finishes his current project, »

Wme Signs ‘My Left Foot’ Helmer Jim Sheridan
24 April 2013 10:48 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Wme just signed Jim Sheridan, the Irish filmmaker who has been in play since his CAA agent Bob Bookman left to join Paradigm. Sheridan also signed with Manage-Ment’s Dan Halsted to be his manager. I kind of figured Sheridan would follow Bookie. But Wme pulled off a coup, just as the agency did when it shook loose Paranormal Activity helmer Oren Peli after his agent Martin Spencer left CAA to join Resolution. In the case of Sheridan, Wme gets a director responsible for what in my book are three bonafide classic films–My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father, and The Boxer. He also helmed the autobiographical In America, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and Brothers. His last film, Dream House, was a misfire, and he had long fought to bring I, Claudius to the screen to no avail, but a good filmmaker is a good filmmaker. »

Top 10 Best Daniel Day-Lewis Movies
12 March 2013 5:54 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"I drink your milkshake!"
After winning a record third Oscar for Best Actor at the 85th Academy Awards for his performance in Lincoln, English-Irish actor Daniel Day-Lewis is being heralded by many as "our greatest living actor," with some even crowning him "the greatest actor of all time." In his acceptance speech, Day-Lewis humbly said that he didn't "know how any of this happened" to him, and that he "received more" than his "fair share of good fortune." Maybe so, but Day-Lewis is also an incredibly dedicated method actor who conducts vast amounts of research for every role he takes on and often lives his day-to-day life as the character he is portraying while a film is in production.
Day-Lewis' intense commitment to his craft has jeopardized his health on more than one occasion — he broke two ribs from remaining hunched over in a wheelchair all during the filming of »

Oscars 2013: do his three Oscars make Daniel Day-Lewis the greatest?
25 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Arguing whether Daniel Day-Lewis is a greater actor than, say, Laurence Olivier is like arguing whether Messi is more talented than Pelé. It's not just down to the statistics
Statistically speaking, with his third best actor Oscar in hand, Daniel Day-Lewis is now officially the greatest actor of all time. But statistics lie. Richard Burton, the greatest actor of his generation, was nominated for six Oscars and never won. Roberto Benigni did. Cary Grant, who almost single-handedly invented motion pictures, never won an Oscar. F Murray Abraham did. Heath Ledger, the most gifted actor of his generation, won his first and only Oscar – for best supporting actor – after he was dead. Art Carney, Nicolas Cage and Richard Dreyfuss were all very much alive when they were singled out as best actor of the year. Yes, Art Carney. As previously noted, statistics lie. Especially when they involve Nicolas Cage.

Daniel's First Oscars
24 February 2013 5:38 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Sunday evening's Academy Awards won't be Daniel Day-Lewis' first rodeo.
Lewis first hit the red carpet at the Oscars in 1990, when he took home the award for Best Actor for his performance in 1989's "My Left Foot." Day-Lewis sported quite a different look at the show, rocking shoulder-length brown locks and a bow tie. Take a look at his 1990 look below.
Day-Lewis is up for Best Actor again this year for her portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln." The film was nominated for a total of 12 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Steven Spielberg, Best Supporting Actor for Tommy Lee Jones, and Best Supporting Actress for Sally Field.
Day-Lewis has maintained a consistent presence at the Academy Awards, receiving a nomination for Best Actor in 1994 for "In the Name of the Father" and 2003 for "Gangs of New York," and winning Best Actor in 2008 for "There Will Be Blood. »

Daniel Day-Lewis stands on verge of greatness
22 February 2013 4:07 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Odds are stacked heavily on Steven Spielberg film Lincoln bringing the actor his record-breaking third best actor statue
Daniel Day-Lewis stands on the verge of Hollywood history by becoming the Academy awards' most lauded male actor if, as is widely considered likely, he is named as best actor for the third time for his role in Lincoln at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday night.
Eight other male actors, including Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn and Gary Cooper, have two best actor Oscars. Day-Lewis already holds statuettes for My Left Foot and There Will Be Blood (awarded in 1990 and 2008 respectively). Another win will put him out on his own, confirming his position as one of the all-time greats.
Other than Day-Lewis, who holds dual UK-Irish citizenship, British hopes are not invested heavily in the acting categories: unusually for a traditional area of British strength, there is no other UK representation.

Gerry Hambling obituary
11 February 2013 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Award-winning film editor who had an instinctive feel for pace, rhythm and nuance
Gerry Hambling, who has died aged 86, was one of the finest editors that the British film industry has produced. He was widely admired, particularly by his peers, for films such as Midnight Express (1978), Mississippi Burning (1988), In the Name of the Father (1993) and Evita (1996). He won many awards from the editors' guilds in the Us and UK, which made up for the fact that, although he was nominated six times, an Oscar always eluded him. He did, however, win the Bafta three times for film editing. My own collaboration with Gerry went back 40 years, as he cut 14 feature films for me, as well as three short films and scores of commercials.
As with many film technicians of his generation, Gerry's choice of profession was serendipitous: born and raised in Croydon, Surrey, he left school at 16 and went to work at the local factory, »
