Visual Index ~ The Talented Mr Ripley's Best Shot(s)
15 May 2013 4:22 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
For this week's edition of Hit Me With Your Best Shot, we stayed another summer in Italy. We didn't follow an American spinster this time but a young shapeshifter known as The Talented Mr Ripley. He was sent to Italy to fetch trustfund baby Dickie Greenleaf but he likes Dickie's life so much he fetches it for himself instead.
Outside the film's actual narrative, based on the famous novel by Patricia Highsmith (whose work is oft-adapted - The Two Faces of January is next) things were just as dramatic. The movie was a Prestige Event since it was Anthony Minghella's (Rip) follow-up to his Best Picture winner The English Patient (1996). It wasn't quite a slam dunk with Oscar, despite the pedigree and the quality (I prefer it to Patient, myself), though it sure was a thing of beauty. The Talented Mr Ripley featured one of the most impressive collections »

Sheffield Doc/Fest hopes to rekindle last year's Oscar magic
9 May 2013 6:43 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
As the documentary festival enters its 20th year with a record number of film submissions, Daniel Dylan Wray guides you through the programme and events
Last year's festival featured a surprise performance by the star of a film that would go on to win an Oscar, so you would think the organisers of 2013's Sheffield Doc/Fest would be feeling the pressure just one month from curtains-up.
But the festival's programmer, Hussain Currimbhoy, seems relatively calm on deadline day for the event's 20th anniversary programme. "It's pressure every year," he says. "We pressure ourselves to make it the best programme every year and the best festival every year".
That task is made harder by the festival's swelling attendance and growing film submissions, which this year topped 2,000 for the first time. These are whittled down to just 120 (including crossover platforms and shorts); only 80 of these will make it through as feature films. »

A Pope Francis Biopic in Pre-Production?
29 April 2013 2:15 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Pope Francis movie in the works? Friend of the Poor: The Pope Francis Story is the working title of a projected English-language biopic about the recently elected pope, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires. According to the National Catholic Register‘s Joseph Pronechen, German-born producer and Catholic convert Christian Peschken (listed on the IMDb as Chris Peschken) decided to make a movie about the first American pope (as in, from the Americas) after watching Pope Francis appear on the balcony at the Vatican on the day of his election. The National Catholic Register report states that an "European investment group has already approved a $25-million budget" for Friend of the Poor: The Pope Francis Story — which doesn’t even have a screenplay ready. Amg Films, a company that specializes in Catholic-themed movies, would handle sales. Peschken has invited Spanish filmmaker Antonio Cuadri, whose best known effort is probably the »

Only God Forgives Three Stylish And Violent Clips
29 April 2013 5:29 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Could Kristin Scott Thomas steal the show despite Only God Forgives is the reunion between Drive director and star, Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling? The strongest argument are these three new clips from the movie. Best-known for her roles in films like The English Patient and Tell No One, an English-French actress plays the vicious organized crimelord mother to Gosling’s character, and in the latest batch of clips we see that her words are as brutal as the film’s many acts of stylish violence. She wants the cop (Vithaya Pansringarm) who killed her favourite son to pay the ultimate price. In recent weeks, we’ve seen...

Colin Firth To Lead Matthew Vaughn's Spy Blockbuster 'The Secret Service'
29 April 2013 4:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As an actor, Colin Firth has proved remarkably resilient over his thirty-year career. After breaking through in 1984's "Another Country," a series of strong performances followed that never quite saw him become a huge star. But suddenly, 1995's TV version of "Pride & Prejudice" made him a heartthrob, and led to roles in Oscar-winners "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare In Love." Just as the roles started to dry up again, he played another seminal romantic lead in "Bridget Jones' Diary." And then, as his career seemed to creep into self-parody with the likes of "Mamma Mia" and "St. Trinian's," he got back-to-back Oscar nominations for "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech," winning for the latter. And it looks like another reinvention for Mr. Firth might be on the way. Aside from "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," his immediate post-Oscar roles, in "Gambit" and "Arthur Newman," have been disappointing, but he's »

Movie Review: 'Pain & Gain'
26 April 2013 3:45 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Pain & Gain
Starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie
Directed by Michael Bay
Rated R
How does one even begin a conversation about Michael Bay? The go to whipping boy for critics, bloggers, general film lovers (hardcore and the more casual), myself; the man can be seen as somewhat of a cancer on the film industry. But someone out there likes him, otherwise his movies collectively wouldn’t have raked in over 1.8 billion dollars domestic. But Michael Bay also doesn’t help out his case, he really hasn’t from day one. Big loud obnoxious displays of grandeur, that’s what you get with a Michael Bay film. Hell, even Pearl Harbor was that way. Things got out of control with the Transformers films, where with each film seemed to display with glee everything that people either outright hated, or were only before irritated by Bay’s ‘finesse’ when it came to shooting a movie. »

5 Biggest Best Picture Oscar Upsets Of The Past 20 Years
21 April 2013 10:43 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Usually the movie that wins Best Director also wins Best Picture, but it’s not always the case. “Argo” didn’t win Best Director mostly because Ben Affleck wasn’t even nominated. The last time a movie won only one of the two while being nominated for both was “Crash” winning Best Picture while Ang Lee won Best Director for “Brokeback Mountain.”
It’s easier to call out an upset immediately or shortly after the winners are announced. But after time, people will have an epiphany and either downgrade the severity of the upset or determine that it wasn’t an upset to begin with. When a movie only wins one, an upset could be accredited to one, both, or neither of the categories. These upsets will only be accredited to the Best Picture category.
This list will have upsets that won either both or just Best Picture…

April Showers: “The English Patient”
19 April 2013 11:45 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Andrew here with an April Shower to pass the evening.
I’ve always gravitated towards film scenes incorporating water. Often it does not transcend the aesthetic (water on screen just looks pretty), but even as downpours – natural or man-made –are often utilised as read-made ways of attuning the audience to moments of sadness, it’s great when filmmakers utilise it other ways. I say utilise with slight hesitation because in a film where Minghella seems to be telegraphing nodes and nodes of information, the rain scene in The English Patient comes off as especially slight.
The titular patient (formerly known as Count Laszlo de Almásy) has been severely burned across the body and confined to a bed, remembering ghosts of his past. He is dying, and convivial Nurse Hana – running from ghosts of her own – is keeping him comfortable in his last days in an abandoned Italian monastery as World »

Why Hollywood Must Stop Making 3D Films
3 April 2013 9:08 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The resurrection of 3D in 2009 gave us everything we should expect from 3D filmmaking. James Cameron’s Avatar was the stepping stone and epitome of 3D filmmaking. It was the big bang of an era that should’ve died before it could walk.
I am not the only one to publicly express my distaste for 3D. Roger Ebert hates it, as well as Academy Award-winning editor Walter Murch. Murch’s credibility should not be ignored, as he has received Academy Award nominations for Best Film Editing for his work on Julia, Apocalypse Now, Ghost, The Godfather Part III, The English Patient*, and Cold Mountain (* indicates win). Murch has much versatility when it comes to formats for editing. He has used Moviola, Kem flatbed, Avid (used for The English Patient; Avatar was edited with Avid Media Composer), and Final Cut Pro. Warner Bros. wanted Christopher Nolan to film Inception in 3D, »

Legendary Pictures tease Akira Takarada cameo for Godzilla reboot
28 March 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
He's been asking for a few years and now it seems he may have his wish.
Legendary Pictures posted via their Godzilla (2014) Facebook page a photo of kaiju-eiga legend Akira Takarada on set with Gareth Edwards, teasing a possible cameo in the upcoming Godzilla reboot.
Takarada has featured in a total of six kaiju movies including the original Gojira in 1954. He went on to star in Mothra vs. Godzilla, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Godzilla & Mothra: Battle For Earth and Godzilla: Final Wars as well as Ishiro Honda's King Kong Escapes.
Takarada has become an icon to kaiju-eiga fans so this new will no doubt delight the fan base.
Filming on Godzilla began last week in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The production lasted less than 24 hours before the first images started surfacing online. Director Gareth Edwards has said that this Godzilla reboot will take the King of the Monsters back to his dark routes. »

First set photos from Godzilla and a video message from Gareth Edwards
20 March 2013 11:44 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Today marked the first official production day of Legendary's Godzilla reboot and already there are a few set photos from their Vancouver location.
Images started coming in from sources like Godzilla-Movie and Mechablogzilla of the military set-up and a destroyed helicopter - no doubt knocked about by the King of the Monsters.
Aside from the helicopter, there isn't a whole lot to see - but it is only the first day so we can expect to see more in the upcoming days and weeks.
Legendary's Facebook page also announced the official Godzilla 2014 Facebook page which also contained a video message from director Gareth Edwards (Monsters) taken after the first shot:
Given the amount we've seen so far, we suspect that we'll be seeing a lot of video blogs from Mr. Edwards as the production rolls on.
