Mark Hoppus is cleaning house.
The Blink 182 singer and bassist, 45, and his wife Skye, 44, are hosting a big sale of items from their home on auction site Everything But the House (Ebth). Their diverse offerings, which went live on Monday morning, include everything from furniture selected by the couple’s A-list decorator Trip Haenisch, to designer clothing and, yes, a few pieces of Blink 182 memorabilia.
But why are they letting go of so many personal possessions? “We have lived in our home for nearly twelve years now and finally decided it was time to do a major remodel on the house,...

“Anger Management Issues”
By Raymond Benson
A character makes an excuse for the bad behavior of Dixon Steele, a Hollywood screenwriter played by Humphrey Bogart, by saying, “He’s a writer—people like him can afford to be temperamental.”
Released in the same year as Billy Wilder’s acerbic film noir attack on Tinsel Town, Sunset Boulevard, and Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s similar assault on show business, All About Eve, Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place was nowhere near as popular—but it was just as scathing. It may not have been a box office success, but the picture’s reputation has grown considerably over the decades, mainly because Bogart’s performance as a bitter, angry movie scribe ranks among his best onscreen personas. But it’s not pretty. The guy has anger management issues, the likes of which probably had not been seen in a mainstream film prior to the picture’s release.

Winners revealed in Generation 14plus strand of the Berlinale.
Latvia’s Mellow Mud (Es esmu šeit) has won the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the Generation 14plus strand of the Berlin Film Festival (Feb 11-21), as voted by the ‘youth jury’.
The feature debut of Latvian director Renārs Vimba received its world premiere in the youth strand of the Berlinale and centres on a 17-year-old girl and her little brother who keep the death of their grandmother secret in an attempt not to lose their home.
Mellow Mud was acquired by sales outfit Pluto Film ahead of the festival and introduced to buyers at the Efm.
The jury said of the feature: “We were particularly impressed by a film that managed to create powerful and expressive images in spite of its spare dialogue and understated performances.
“Thanks to a convincing portrayal of the female protagonist, we were able to accompany her on a journey that movingly...

Plastic Yellow Band has been compared to artists like Fleetwood Mac, Coldplay and John Lennon. While those are certainly apt comparisons, I have to admit that I dig lead singer Gerald Jennings’ voice a lot more than the guy from Coldplay who just broke up with Pepper Potts.
Tracks like “Lonely Place” off the album Breathe Air is beautiful, driving and melodic. The kind of track you’d see over a commercial for Ford or something. It’s a nice, slick track, perfect for hanging out around a firepit and drinking some beer. That’s the vibe I got off it.

Our voyage through history's underappreciated films arrives at the year 2011, and a great year for lesser-seen gems...
Even a cursory glance at the top 10 grossing films of 2011 reveals something strange: nine of the entries are sequels. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought the fantasy franchise to a close with a staggering $1.3bn haul. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon wasn't too far behind with just over $1.1bn. On Stranger Tides continued the Pirates Of The Caribbean series' wave of success, despite mixed reviews.
Elsewhere in the top 10, you'll find another Twilight, a fourth Mission: Impossible, a second Kung Fu Panda, a fifth Fast, another Hangover, and further Cars. Standing alone on the list is The Smurfs, the adaptation of Peyo's Belgian comic strip. In fact, 2011 saw the release of no fewer than 28 sequels - the most we've yet seen in any given year.

Humphrey Bogart as indie-film booster? It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Writer-director Steve Anderson (“The Big Empty,” “Fuck”) has convinced the Humphrey Bogart Estate to help finance his micro-budget noir, “This Last Lonely Place,” according to the WSJ’s MarketWatch. The filmmaker has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $75,000 for his original thriller about three lost souls who find their worlds colliding in an L.A. cab, and not only has the Bogie Estate thrown $10,000 to the cause, it has committed to matching every additional donation. Bogart LLC majority owners Stephen Bogart and his sister Leslie see the investment as a way to support the kinds of films their father most liked. From the story: "The main goal of the Humphrey Bogart Estate is to honor and promote my father's legacy," said Stephen Humphrey Bogart, son of the iconic performer. "My father loved film noir, he...

Like yesterday's round of "Dark Knight Rises" reading, today's edition dives heavily into spoiler territory — specifically about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, Detective John Blake. Proceed with extreme caution!
So, the rumors of Gordon-Levitt's character in "Rises" being Robin have finally proven themselves to be true! More or less. But John Blake was far from the first Robin to aid the Dark Knight in his time of need. In fact, in the comic books, there have already been five Robins to date since the Boy Wonder's first appearance in 1940.
Starting with Dick Grayson, an 8 year old acrobat, and then passing on to Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Damian Wayne (in that order — and that's not even mentioning out-of-continuity Robins like Carrie Kelley), each Robin has acted as a loyal partner, apprentice, and friend to Batman throughout the years. One could even argue that if it weren't for his trusty sidekick,...

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Ann Arbor Film Festival and they’re preparing an all-out blowout on March 27 to April 1 to celebrate! The fest is crammed to the gills with the latest and greatest in experimental and avant-garde film, in addition to a celebration of classic work from Ann Arbors past.
Filmmaker Bruce Baillie was there at the first Aaff — and numerous times since. He’s back this year with a major retrospective of his entire career that spans three separate programs. Baillie, who’ll be in attendance of course, will present a brand-new restored version of his epic pseudo-Western Quick Billy, plus screenings of his classic short movies such as Castro Street, Yellow Horse, Quixote, To Parsifal and more.
There’s also a program dedicated to the films of the late Robert Nelson, including Bleu Shut and Special Warning, as well as sprinklings of underground classics throughout...

A Lonely Place to Die
Written by Will Gilbey and Julian Gilbey
Directed by Julian Gilbey
UK, 2011
A rare thriller that actually contains thrills, UK export A Lonely Place to Die comes up with a formula so ingenious it’s a wonder we haven’t already seen it a million times before: high-octane cliff-scaling meets cat-and-mouse chase thriller. It serves as a welcome reminder that no-frills action movies don’t have to be an eye-rolling bore or an intellectual affront.
In this case, the mice are mountain climbers Alison (Melissa George), Ed (Ed Speelers), Rob (Alec Newman) and Jenny (Kate Macgowan), who are making their way through the Scottish countryside when they begin to hear what sounds like a distant cry – before long, they discover a young Serbian girl (Holly Boyd) buried alive with an air pipe and a depleted water supply. After deciding the only reasonable course of action...

Everyone who’s been to the Fantasia Film Festival here in Montreal knows two things: one, it’s awesome; two, there are an insane, perhaps even impossible, number of features to choose from. Inevitably, some movies will live up to or even exceed the hype, while others fizzle out upon actual viewing. Every year I make a list of movies that, based on various factors of my own choosing, are as close to “safe bets” as you’re likely to find at a festival this varied and wild. Here’s what made the cut this year:
13 Assassins (Director’s Cut)
Takahi Miike’s samurai epic has received glowing reviews the world ’round, and it’s finally come to Montreal a couple months after its limited Us run. Said to be both doggedly old-fashioned and replete with the sort of hyper-stylized violence Miike made his name on, it’s the more...

The Film4 FrightFest the annual film festival held in central London over the August Bank Holiday weekend has announced it’s announces opening & closing night films. The Guillermo del Toro produced creature creeper Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is set to open this year’s Film4 FrightFest. Based on the 1973 Us TV movie and bearing del Toro’s distinctive touch of class, first-time director Nixey explores a demonic tooth fairy myth in a tense flight of terrifying fantasy orchestrated with stylish verve and stunning sound design that will rock the Empire cinema to its rafters.
Film4 FrightFest will close with the European premiere of the harrowing and nerve-jangling British survival shocker Lonely Place To Die, directed by Julian Gilbey and starring Melissa George (pictured right). Set in the Scottish Highlands, a group of mountaineers discover a young Serbian girl buried alive in the wilderness. In their attempt to...
