Rejected film posters go on display

17 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Online gallery to showcase works by Bill Gold and others for movies including Pulp Fiction and The Exorcist

A gallery that should comfort any struggling young graphic artist is revealed for the first time today: the ones that got away, rejected original versions of posters for some of the most famous films of recent decades, including Batman, Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, The Exorcist and Cool Hand Luke.

The last three were the work of the remarkable Bill Gold, who over a 70-year career created the images that sold more than 1,000 movies.

As a 21-year-old in the art department of Warner Bros, he was asked to come up with a poster for a vehicle for one of its stars, Humphrey Bogart. His poster for Casablanca became as classic as the film itself: black and white, the other characters in a misty background, Ingrid Bergman looking yearningly towards Bogey, and Bogey in the foreground, »

Cannes film festival 2013: A Touch of Sin - first look review

17 May 2013 2:34 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

This ultraviolent attack on Chinese consumerism is a stunning slap in the face from previously-sedate director Jia Zhang-ke

Cannes is a place for shocks, jolts and surprises. This change of artistic direction from Chinese film-maker Jia Zhang-ke offers plenty. He has been known until this moment for an intensely considered, quiet documentary realism — particularly in the 2006 movie Still Life, about communities preparing to be drowned in the service of China's Three Gorges hydro-electric Dam. So this brash, daring and often ultraviolent movie is atypical to say the least, avowedly inspired by the wuxia martial arts films of King Hu, but it has clear debts to Tarantino's riffs on this same genre, and to Sergio Leone. The idea of Jia Zhang-ke making his own Pulp Fiction or A Fistful of Dollars (or rather yen) might before now have seemed fanciful. But that is what he has done — or almost. »

Cannes: Samuel L. Jackson, Hailee Steinfeld Team for 'Barely Lethal'

16 May 2013 9:27 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

Samuel L. Jackson will bring his trademark strut and baritone to "Barely Lethal," Rko Pictures announced from the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. The "Pulp Fiction" actor will co-star opposite Hailee Steinfeld, who nabbed an Oscar nomination for her work in the Coen Brothers' "True Grit." The action-comedy follows a 16-year-old assassin (Steinfeld) who fakes her own death, so she can have a normal high-school experience. But it's a fate worse than detention when her former-employer (Jackson) comes looking for her. Kyle Newman ("Fanboys") will direct the film, which will begin shooting »

IMDb Releases Top Ten List of Most Popular Cannes Competition Films, Quentin Tarantino Dominates

15 May 2013 9:23 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

As the Cannes Film Festival gets underway today, IMDb has released its list of the 10 most popular films to have been screened in competition for the Palme d'Or, based on user votes. Unsurprisingly, Quentin Tarantino makes a good showing on the list, dominating in the top three spots with 1994's "Pulp Fiction" 2009's "Inglourious Basterds" and 2005's "Sin City" (for which he's credited as "special guest director" following Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez).  Since this is a popularity vote, "Shrek" lands a spot above "Taxi Driver."Top 10 Most Popular Cannes Films1. Pulp Fiction (dir. Quentin Tarantino, 1994)2. Inglourious Basterds (dir. Quentin Tarantino, 2009)3. Sin City (dirs. Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino 2005)4.

Movie Review - The Liability (2012)

15 May 2013 9:08 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

The Liability, 2012. 

Directed by Craig Viveiros.

Starring Tim Roth, Peter Mullan, Talulah Riley, Jack O’Connell and Kierston Wareing.

Synopsis:

When a nineteen-year-old crashes the car of his gangster stepdad, he is forced to drive a hitman to his next job as payback.

Gangsters in real life are, inherently and on the whole, a seemingly unlikeable bunch that you wouldn’t want to meet. But on the other hand, everyone has their good and bad points. Whether it is, for example, because they’re doing bad things for a heroic end, or maybe they’ve been forced into a position with no exit. Trying to find the good in someone, or something, is what I found myself doing with The Liability.

Adam (O’Connell) smashes a car up while checking his phone, gleefully takes a photo of it and walks off without injury or lesson learnt. So we have unlikeable character number one. »

Cannes 2013: 5 Films To Watch For Oscars

15 May 2013 8:31 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

The Cannes film festival is the single most prestigious film festival in the world. Known for fostering and cultivating cinematic auteurs from every region of the globe, it is a festival that commonly rewards films with high aspirations towards what the art of cinema could and should be. The festival’s highest honor, the Palme d’Or, has been bestowed on such lofty films as Luchino Visconti’s The Leopard, Claude Lelouch’s A Man and a Woman, Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blowup, Lars Van Trier’s Dancer in the Dark, and Cristian Mungui’s 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days.

It may come as no surprise then, given Cannes’ inclination towards high-brow world cinema, that the Oscars and the Croisette don’t often cross paths in terms of which films they consider deserving of awards. In fact, only once has the Academy’s selection for Best Picture coincided with the Palme d’Or winner, »

The Liability Review

15 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It seems cameraman-cum-director Craig Viveiros fancies himself as a bit of a ‘British Tarantino’ with his second feature, The Liability. He even employs the services of one of Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs’ actors, Tim Roth, to evoke that clever magic. Indeed, at the heart of this road movie is a more superior, darkly comedic thriller itching to unfold. Thankfully, due to the central and intriguing father/son relationship between ageing hit man Roy (Roth) and his haphazard apprentice Adam (Jack O’Connell), this commendable attempt at deadly humour does not fall short, even though there are other, more daring possibilities Viveiros could have explored to make his film feel less déjà vu in plot.

After trashing his step-father Peter’s car, 19-year-old Adam is forced to pay off the damage by the sinister, violent gangster (Peter Mullan) by driving a mysterious associate of his called Roy across country in an ageing Ford Granada. »

My inspiration for The Liability: Cohen and Tate and its brilliant screenwriter

14 May 2013 4:44 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

A British hitman movie, starring Tim Roth, owes a debt to a little-known 1980s Us noir thriller, superbly crafted by Eric Red, which deserves to be better known

Twenty years ago, when I first started reading credits of movies I loved to see who'd written the screenplay, one name leapt out at me: Eric Red. In the space of three years in the late 1980s he wrote the terrifying Rutger Hauer road movie The Hitcher and two brilliant genre movies for a young director called Kathryn Bigelow: the trailer-trash vampire movie Near Dark, and Blue Steel, a feminist cop movie with Jamie Lee Curtis as a rookie up against an amorous serial killer. The first two of those have gone on to become bona fide cult classics. But Red remains little known – as does the film of his I really loved, one he wrote and directed in 1988, Cohen and Tate. »

How I Met Your Mother Review: Pop, Drop and Locket

13 May 2013 8:21 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

For those who doubted the chemistry between Robin and Barney, the How I Met Your Mother Season 8 finale presented a pretty strong case for why they are so good together.

Barney may have missed Robin's cry for help when she couldn't find her buried locket, but he more than made up for it on "Something New."

Reserving their memorable table by the window and producing a pair of the first cigars they ever smoked together showed just how into the relationship Barney is. Maybe you could chalk that up to Barney's amazing attention to detail. Scenes like the one where he gave Robin one last kiss as they left the apartment, however, did well to show the two are not just great friends - but very much in love with each other.

And how about the cameo from Ranjit? What a great touch that was.

NY women go topless for 'pulp fiction' reading group

11 May 2013 2:00 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

New York, May 11: A small group of young women in New York are reading pulp crime novels and other works in city parks while topless.

Since going topless in New York is legal, the Topless Pulp Fiction Club's founder A.A. said that she and her friend decided to start a group to take advantage of the legal rights they already had but weren't using, the New York Daily News reported.

The club is a celebration of a woman's freedom to bare her breasts and read a book at the same time - a reminder that not all nudity has to be salacious or even sexual, she said.

Group members mainly read lurid, midcentury "pulp" novels, but some. »

Mad Max's Weekend Movie Guide: 'The Great Gatsby' & More

"And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy." ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby"

Greetings from the apocalypse! This is an exciting week for me, since I'm making my art gallery debut and all — I'm celebrating with two docs covering cool artistic subcultures (gig posters and tattooing), as well as a hella ton of Mother's Day recommends. Let's get to it, shall we, old sport? Yep yep.

Pow! In Theaters

Glam filmmaker Baz Luhrmann's reimagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless Jazz-age romance "The Great Gatsby" looks like my 11th grade book report had sex with a disco ball, but that's par for the course. Luhrmann had previously razzle-dazzled "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" and reunites with Leonardo DiCaprio as enigmatic rich dude Jay Gatsby, clinging to the memory of a past dalliance with Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan).
