In publicly discussing her double mastectomy, the actor has challenged the celebrity industry to rethink its bizarre values – and she has done all women a huge service
Of course, Angelina Jolie is not the first actress to have had a mastectomy, that most medical of terms referring to the removal of at least one of the anatomical attributes that actresses are expected to hoik up for the sake of their career. In fact, off the top of my head, I can name four: Christina Applegate, Olivia Newton John, Lynn Redgrave and Kathy Bates have all publicly discussed their mastectomies.
Nor is she the first to have a preventive double mastectomy: Sharon Osbourne (not an actress but very much a woman in the public eye) announced only last year that she had one after discovering, as she told Hello! magazine, that she had "the breast-cancer gene".
Yet while Jolie may not be the first, »

Thanks to The Wrap, the trailer for director Steven C. Miller’s creature feature Under The Bed has found its way online, and it looks like a lot of fun. It definitely gives off a mid ’80s kid-adventure film vibe but with more horrific results. What do you Fright Fiends think?

Clint Eastwood will have lost a few Brownie points for his bizarre and frankly ill-advised conversation with an empty chair at the Republican National Congress last autumn, but he is still much-adored Hollywood royalty – old and craggy, but still directing and acting to a phenomenally high standard and responsible as actor and/or director for some of the greatest and most iconic films ever to have come out of Hollywood.
Most often associated with Westerns and understandably so (the Dollars trilogy, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider, Unforgiven), Eastwood also has a sterling track record within the crime genre (Dirty Harry, Mystic River, In the Line of Fire, Play Misty for Me) and with straight dramas too (Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino, A Perfect World, Changeling). With Oscar statuettes and nominations coming out of his ears, he is clearly much loved by the Academy, but critics and »

While there are certain aspects of film-making they can’t always control, ultimately it is the skill of the director that determines whether a movie is good or bad. To make this list of the greatest modern directors, a director must still be actively making movies and only movies from the last 15 years are considered in the ranking of the directors.
The factors in the rankings obviously include the general quality of the directors films but also takes into account the number of films made in the given time period as well, the impact of the director on the filmmaking scene as a whole, and the potential they have for making more great movies in the future. The sheer number of quality directors ensures that a good number were excluded from the list as many excellent filmmakers such as Ang Lee, Kathryn Bigelow, Edgar Wright, Danny Boyle, Nicolas Winding Refn, »

The Wachowski Siblings are headed to TV by developing the 10-episode series Sense8 for Netflix. The series will be co-developed with J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5). There are currently no plot details aside from the vague description of "a gripping global tale of minds linked and souls hunted", but in a press release, the Wachowskis said, "Several years ago, we had a late night conversation [with Straczynski] about the ways technology simultaneously unites and divides us, and out of that paradox 'Sense8' was born." I'm not a big fan of Straczynski's work, but I'll see anything the Wachowskis put together. Netflix is also continuing their savvy decision to pair with recognized talent like they did with David Fincher on House of Cards. Hit the jump for the press release. Sense8 is set to arrive on Netflix Watch Instantly in late 2014. Here's the press release: Netflix will bring Georgeville Television's "Sense8, »

Admittedly (and obviously), I'm in love with the Oscars. But that doesn't mean I love it when the Academy nominates films that I absolutely don't care about, refuse to care about, and will never, ever care about. Every year there is at least one film that I flat-out won't see (or will try not to see, unless job obligations force me) because it seems too trite, annoying, overhyped, uninteresting, or lame. Here's a quick list of the Oscar-nominated films of past years I've refused to see.
2008: Changeling
Whenever I think of this movie, I picture Angelina Jolie exclaiming, "Oh, no! My baby was switched! Thankfully I look like Carmen Sandiego in every frame for some reason."
2009: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This was 457 minutes of Brad Pitt living his Rick Baker makeup fantasy, right? You'd think he'd give us a "Thriller" dance break, but no.

J Michael Straczynski will make his feature directorial debut on The Flickering Light.
The writer has secured funding from Reliance Entertainment's Motion Picture Capital and will direct from his own script, reports Variety.
The film centres around a group of Romani prisoners from the Marzahn Concentration Camp.
They were pressed into work as actors in the 1942 film Tiefland, a film which was directed by and starred Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
Straczynski is best known for his work in comics. He also wrote the scripts for Clint Eastwood's Changeling and Thor, as well as serving as showrunner on Babylon 5.
The Flickering Light is set to enter production in November, using the same sound stages that Studio Babelsberg used for Tiefland. »
