Clip joint: the top five movie scenes featuring cassettes
29 May 2013 5:58 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Five of the best film appearances from everybody's favourite outmoded audio format
Cassettes represent a very specific window in history, having only been of widespread popularity for about 25 years, from the 70s to late 90s. They are wrapped up in nostalgia. Film depictions of cassette tapes and their decks have been surprisingly diverse. Here's a few of the most memorable highlights – can you think of any more?
Wayne, Garth and co. singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody in the car to open the legendary 90s slacker bromance. No explanation needed.

It wasn't easy to pick just one clip from this film (the Walking on Sunshine 'Monday tape' scene was a close second), but ultimately the record store owner Rob (John Cusack)'s summary of the very important and complex art of compiling a mix tapes made the cut.

'Toxic Avenger' Remake: Will Arnold Schwarzenegger Take on Troma?
14 May 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
What's weirder, that the former Governor of California might appear in "The Toxic Avenger," or that there's a 21st Century remake of the freaky underground favorite in the works? The original "Toxic Avenger" was a low-budget, gross-out comedy about a nerd who mutates into a gnarly superhero and takes on the bad guys of Tromaville, NJ. Although it's not clear which part Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to play, this is indubitably an odd move for the former Terminator. Heck, it's an odd move to reboot this for today's audience, even with an updated story: to wit, "an average teen joins an environmental club to impress his crush. While doing some investigating at a waste plant, he is thrown into a tub of waste and transforms into a radioactive hero." Writer and director Lloyd Kaufman and his studio, Troma Entertainment, have been an endless font of modern B-movie madness since the '70s. »

Arnold Schwarzenegger May Star In Upcoming Toxic Avenger Reboot
13 May 2013 5:12 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and The Toxic Avenger movies could be considered relics from the 1980s, but now the two worlds are going to be combined. Variety is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has kept busy with movies like The Expendables 2, The Last Stand and the upcoming Escape Plan, is now in talks to star in a reboot featuring the famous mutated monster hero. Schwarzenegger won't be taking the titular role in the movie, but the trade says that he will be playing "another lead role." The "reimagining" is described by sources as being a more mainstream action-adventure film, suggesting that the property could lose a little of its midnight madness charm.Screenwriter Steve Pink, whose credits include Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity, is working on the screenplay with newcomer Daniel C.

IMDb founder Col Needham
12 May 2013 10:07 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This man has seen 8,524 movies. How does he know? Because he invented the Internet Movie Database – the indispensable cinema encyclopaedia – and put Bristol on Hollywood's map
Col Needham is 46 and lives in Frampton Cotterell, a small village eight miles outside Bristol. He is bright-eyed, wears glasses and has the face of a beaming baby. Despite nearly three decades of living in the West Country, he still sounds Mancs. Every Tuesday lunchtime, he and his wife Karen go on a date to their local Odeon. At the pub, he has a small glass of white and goes easy on the nuts. He laughs a little more than average – every fourth or fifth statement is broken by a big giggle – but other than that, he is not an obvious headturner.
Needham is also the most powerful Brit in Hollywood – by miles, by millions. He is our Harvey Weinstein. More than that, he's our Mark Zuckerberg, »

'Some Girl(s)' trailer: Adam Brody is a Man with a (bad) plan -- Exclusive Video
6 May 2013 11:17 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Playwright Neil Labute is notorious for dredging the dark depths of the male psyche, and Some Girl(s) goes so far as to name its protagonist, if that’s the right word, merely as “Man.” In the movie, which premiered at SXSW in March, Adam Brody (The O.C.) plays the Man, a successful writer who thinks the best way to prep for his imminent wedding is a cross-country jaunt to reconnect with a quintet of his former lovers — Jennifer Morrison, Mía Maestro, Emily Watson, Zoe Kazan and Kristen Bell — to resolve old wounds. Or not.

Jack Black: 'I was getting tired of frat-guy comedies'
18 April 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jack Black's latest film, Bernie, marks a real departure for Hollywood's favourite joker. He plays a loner whose intense relationship with an elderly widow ends in murder. He explains why the role appealed to him
As a general rule, few people look as if they're having as much fun in their day job as Jack Black. Whether he is solemnly lecturing 10-year-olds about the importance of rock'n'roll in School of Rock ("You guys have never got the Led out?"), quarrelling with Will Ferrell over a burrito in Anchorman, or sneering at other people's music taste in his break-out role in High Fidelity ("That is perverse! Don't tell anyone you don't own Blonde on Blonde!"), Black, with a face like a demonic cherub, has carved a happy niche for himself as Hollywood's cackling ball of deadpan, quip-laden fury. It is perhaps not too surprising that, in interviews, Black has tended »
