Days of Ebertfest: The 2013 schedule
3 May 2013 3:27 PM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
Press Release: Champaign, Ill. -- Terrence Malick's 1978 film "Days of Heaven" won an Oscar for best cinematography, and Roger Ebert likely found that no surprise. It is "above all one of the most beautiful films ever made," Ebert said in a 1997 review. So it's only appropriate that the film will open the 15th annual Roger Ebert's Film Festival on April 17 in the big-screen, newly renovated Virginia Theater in downtown Champaign.
Also among the 12 features and two shorts to be screened during the five-day "Ebertfest" -- running through April 21 at the Virginia and at the University of Illinois -- will be a kabuki-inspired drama from Japan; a recent silent film from Spain that deserved as much attention as "The Artist," according to Ebert; a sympathetic take on the "mad" painter Vincent Van Gogh, directed by frequent festival guest Paul Cox; and a documentary, which will close the festival, about »
Was Nashville's Gay Kiss a Shock? Will Arizona Get 'Googled'? Arrow Gal Super? And More Qs!
3 May 2013 10:25 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including Bones, New Girl, Nashville, Arrow and Grey’s Anatomy!
1 | Smash is obviously on the path toward “redeeming” self-absorbed, drug-addicted, obnoxious Jimmy, but after he took the stage high as a kite (leading to a mid-performance injury to Karen) and later chewed out the entire cast and crew (screaming “I’m the only one that did anything anyway!”), won’t the writers’ efforts inevitably be a case of too little too late?

Blancanieves – The Review
29 April 2013 6:52 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
By Nick Day
An orchestra quickly tunes up, and then brief silence before the music begins. The film opens with the image of a closed red curtain, some nameless theater, a bit of symbolism that signifies that this particular theater is in fact all theaters, as this film is meant for any and all audiences familiar with the tale of Snow White. Director and writer Pablo Berger is, by way of mis-en-scene, giving you a proper invitation to his particular world, and it would be a shame to pass it up.
Blancanieves is a stunner, at times alarmingly beautiful. It retains enough of the Grimm tale to feel familiar, but finds an altogether original way to interpret the material. Heartfelt and heartbreaking, this film is a celebration of cinema, of Spain, and of the human spirit.
And so, the red curtain opens and Blancanieves begins.
It is important to note that the film is dialogue-free, »

Are female-led blockbusters finally here to stay?
8 April 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Mark Harrison 9 Apr 2013 - 07:15
Does the success of The Hunger Games, and the recent arrival of The Host, hint at the rise of the female-led blockbuster, Mark wonders...
The Host arrived in cinemas recently, and joined a number of female-led movies of recent years. As ever, it owes some of its success to the Twilight films, as it's based on an earlier novel by author Stephenie Meyer, but the real legacy of those films has been to emphasise the influence of female audiences, and to popularise female leads in big movies.
If we go by the most popular example of her work, Meyer hasn't exactly created the strongest female characters in the past. But on the surface, The Host appears to centre around a girl called Melanie, whose will is strong enough to bust through the influence of alien body-snatchers, who have effectively taken over the world, as well as her body. »

Review: ‘Blancanieves’ is a Moving Return to Silent-Era Storytelling
28 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Blancanieves, Spanish director Pablo Berger’s second feature, will turn to American audiences at an unlikely intersection of tastes and trends. On the heels of The Artist and last year’s near-perfect Tabu, Blancanieves is the latest in a string of European-produced throwbacks to silent-era filmmaking. But the other major element at play here is the film’s classical fairy tale structure: it’s a version of Snow White updated to the world of Spanish matadors in the 1910s and 1920s, which makes Blancanieves a necessary relief from brash but vacant Hollywood retreads of the world of Grimm like Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman. But regardless of its potent timeliness, the greatest asset of Blancanieves is its masterful, elegant, and palpably inspired embrace of silent-era styles and techniques. Blancanieves is inventive while remaining nostalgic and familiar, intricately stylized while still retaining the capacity to move you, and completely devoid of audible dialogue while still »

Exclusive Video: Pablo Berger Discusses Bringing Back Snow White for Spain's Foreign Language Entry 'Blancanieves'
26 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
After screenings in Toronto, Rotterdam, and BFI's London Film Festival among many others, the U.S. release of the silent, black-and-white Snow White fable (Spain's official Oscar submission last year) "Blancanieves," is right around the corner. In anticipation of the release we have an exclusive video interview with the film's director, Pablo Berger. Infusing the classic Brothers Grimm story with the feeling of 1920s European melodramas, the film has received countless praise at festival appearances, with Indiewire's Boyd Van Hoeij calling it the "year's most daringly original adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale," in his review. "Blancanieves" stars Macarena Garcia in the title role, moving her from the original story's setting to early 20th century bull-fighting rings, with Maribel Verdu as the step-mother plotting against her after marrying her paraplegic father. The interview finds the director discussing the film with Movies at Yahoo! Contributing Editor Thelma Adams on »

50 Upcoming Movie Sequels (Yep, 50)
25 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

Snow White - 'Best of' Cosplay Collection

When thinking of Snow White, it's hard not to think of the classic Disney animated film. Even though the "original" tale collected by the Brothers Grimm was in 1812. What you might not know is that there are theories that Snow White is based off of a real life woman named Maria Sophia Margaretha Catherina von Erthal, who was born in 1725.
I really searched to find other interpretations of Snow White beyond the iconic Disney version, I hope you enjoy them.

Review: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters
Stars: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen, Pihla Viitala, Derek Mears | Written and Directed by Tommy Wirkola
Two of the prevailing winds in the projects being greenlit by Hollywood lately have been the re-imagining of classic children’s stories and the anachronistic mash-up film. After the success of Disney’s poop-fest Alice In Wonderland a few years back, studios have lined up to brush off the likes of Snow White and The Wizard of Oz to give them new life and a fresh revenue stream, while the trend set by Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, still in development for the big screen, has seen projects as diverse as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Cockneys vs Zombies get the go-ahead, hoping to tap into the perverse sense of watching two opposites come together. Both of these elements combine in this week’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, »

‘Blancanieves’, a must see for any fan of silent cinema and Snow White
20 February 2013 3:57 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Pablo Berger
Written by Pablo Berger
2012, Spain
The German tale of Snow White was published by Grimm brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in their Hausmärchen collection in 1812. Considered to be the most famous fairy tale worldwide, Snow White has been adapted to the big screen numerous times by the likes of Walt Disney, Michael Cohn and most recently Tarsem Singh and Rupert Sanders. Every adaptation has featured, respectively, their own variation of the literary source material. Now Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger has channeled all those energies, and through his own artistic sensibility, he artfully crafts a love letter to Hispanic culture and it’s history. Blancanieves is a beautifully executed vision of the Grimm fairy tale; with the key elements of Snow White all present and accounted for (the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the seven dwarfs). Only Berger takes it a step further, adding nods to Sleeping Beauty, »

2013 Saturn Awards Nominations Announced
20 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Today the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films announced its nominees for the 2013 Saturn Awards, one of the few awards programs in which a lot of us will recognize nearly every production. The awards have been expanded over recent years, so if you are unclear about just what type of productions are honored by the Academy, an explanation is included in the press release below, although it can really be summarized as “we know it when we see it.”
A few head-scratchers, however, just beg to be called out:
Anna Karenina? Les Miserables? Leverage? Elementary? Really? That is some broad definition. No subgenre categories for television. The Academy proofreader should know by now that it’s “Syfy” and not “SyFy” (don’t worry, I fixed it, and sorry, it’s a pet peeve). Adding in historical fiction somewhere somehow without actually mentioning it. The entire category “Best Youth-Oriented »

Spinning a Great Yarn: Colleen Atwood talks about Snow White and the Huntsman

Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award winner Colleen Atwood about her Oscar nominated costume design work on Snow White and the Huntsman...
Contending for an Oscar is nothing new for Colleen Atwood (The Silence of the Lambs) who has won three Academy Awards and received her 10th nomination for Snow White and the Huntsman (2012); the veteran costume designer who frequently collaborates with Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland) and Rob Marshall (Chicago) was already familiar with first-time director Rupert Sanders. “I knew Rupert from commercials so it wasn’t working with a stranger. We had a good rapport and lots of laughs.” The reinterpretation of the story about a princess who escapes her evil Queen stepmother and seeks to reclaim her kingdom is closer to Brothers Grimm version than the classic animated film made by Disney in 1937. “He wanted a dark fairy tale world loosely based on 11th to 12th century with texture and style. »

Sony Turning 'Oliver Twist' Into A 'Sherlock Holmes' Movie Basically; Does Charles Dickens Need The Blockbuster Treatment?
12 February 2013 7:36 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
One of the most prevalent trends in Hollywood over the past few years is the incessant need to alter classic works like "Alice In Wonderland” or fairy tales like “Snow White” and turn them into giant, ponderous blockbusters. We’ve already had the overblown take on a Grimm fairy tale with “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters,” and next month sees the release of the similarly overblown “Jack the Giant Killer.” Well, prepare for yourself for the blockbuster take on Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist.” Set to be written by Cole Haddon, something of a specialist with revisionist fare as co-creator of NBC’s upcoming (and dreadful-sounding) “Dracula” series and scribe behind the developing "The Strange Case Of Hyde," “Dodge And Twist” will catch up with Twist and the pickpocketing Jack Dawkins aka Artful Dodger twenty years after the end of Dickens’ novel. The plot? Well, it »

10 Great Female-Starring Comics: Part Two
4 February 2013 12:05 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Here’s part two of the best female centric comics to have been released over the last two years. If you missed the first five picks in part one, check them out here.
Fairest (2012, Vertigo)
Bill Willingham’s “Fables” has become sort of a giant in the comics world. It now runs over 125 issues and is ongoing, it had a 50-issue spin-off “Jack of Fables”, and several limited series titles. Its influence on pop culture can even be seen in film (Mirror Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman) and television (Once Upon A Time, Grimm). While it can be intimidating getting into this series today because of its length and scope, it is worth noting that the new spin-off “Fairest” is accessible and inviting to new readers who want to get their first taste of this universe. Existing fans will appreciate the comic’s relations to the main series, but »

The Weekend Rent: Fairy Tale Flicks for Grimm-Loving Grown-ups
25 January 2013 5:15 PM, PST | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
"The Weekend Rent" offers quick-hit suggestions of what to watch at home to get psyched for new releases in theaters, on Fridays. A fairy tale gets an R-rated makeover with this weekend's widest new release in theaters, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. In this twist on the classic story, Hansel and Gretel (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) are bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. Expect lots of fantasy violence and R-rated action—in other words, this fairy tale isn't a children's bedtime story. Of course, most fairy tales are pretty dark to begin with, so it's only natural that a few filmmakers have picked up on this and adapted the stories for adults. One under-seen gem is Snow White: A Tale of Terror, which more...

5 Lesser-Known Grimm Fairy Tales That Would Be Great Movies
25 January 2013 12:55 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The Grimm Brothers stories turned 200 last year and what better way to celebrate two centuries of children’s fables than to take one of those well-known stories and fill it with all sorts of violence, over-the-top special effects – and of course, 3D? Such is the case with Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
Most of the stories the Grimm Brothers gathered in their various books came from folklore and legend. Some stories are more well-known than others and are therefore easier to adapt for the big screen – Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin.
However, there are dozens of other more obscure stories in the Grimm library, and we’ve picked out 5 Lesser Known ...

Blancanieves Movie Review

Title: Blancanieves Director: Pablo Berger Starring: Macarena Garcia, Maribel Verdu, Angela Molina, Daniel Giménez Cacho A loving tribute to European silent films of the 1920s, writer-director Pablo Berger’s “Blancanieves” repurposes the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale of Snow White, telling the tale of an oppressed daughter of a great toreador who runs away with a circus to find her destiny. The Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award submission from Spain (its intertitles come in subtitled Spanish), Berger’s fetching film is a reminder that cinema need not be constrained by words — that there is a universality to images, and stories can just as readily be told via a skillful ordering of [ Read More ]

Blancanieves (2012)
16 January 2013 10:44 AM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Writer/Director: Pablo Berger
Featuring: Maribel Verdú, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Ángela Molina, Sofia Oria, Macarena Garcia
Blancanieves, Pablo Berger's silent, black-and-white adaptation of "Snow White," is everything Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is not: funny and poignant by turns, equal parts grotesque and romantic, visually enthralling, with a sting in the tail. There's passion and magic in every crisply composed 1:33 frame. Forget CGI witches, leather jerkins and steampunk pistols, this is the way a Brothers Grimm fairy tale should be brought to the screen.
In this iteration, Snow White is Carmen, born as the only child of a champion bullfighter and a beautiful flamenco dancer in 1920s Andalusia. A dramatic accident in the arena leaves her mother dead and her father, Antonio (Daniel Giménez Cacho), comatose. Enter Encarna (Maribel Verdú), an ambitious nurse who sets her sights on becoming the bullfighter's next wife. She bullies him into »
