[DVD Review] Public Enemies - Special Edition
24 December 2009 4:56 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Michael Mann is a director who doesn’t do anything by halves. He’s a storyteller who knows exactly what he likes and returns to those themes again and again; skilled professionals compelled to do, be it good or evil; forbidden love; architecture and cityscapes; and the crisp visceral snap of digital video. Public Enemies, the tale of folk hero bank robber John Dillenger, is a film that brings together all of the above and more, but with a twist. This is not a period pastiche or a well-researched mock-up. Armed with light, portable, high definition cameras, Mann brings depression era America to life with highly mobile faux-documentary styling that sparks with a gloss and a sheen that positively pops off the screen.
Of course Mann has played cops and robbers before, and with 1995’s underworld epic Heat he brought together the two finest actors of their generation in Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. »

Edward Cullen, stalker? Yes, but so is the hero of 'The Graduate'
30 November 2009 1:45 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Is Bella Swan an independent and sort of daring young lovesick renegade…or a doormat? A good role model...or a godawful role model? Or should she be considered a role model at all? And what of the Twilight saga itself: Is it liberating the fantasy life of a new generation of young women by inviting them to wallow in the kind of stormy-skies, trembling-damsel romanticism that has been a staple of popular fiction from Wuthering Heights onward? Or is it setting back the holy cause of women's enlightenment by 50 years? These and other questions were debated, with rude and furious passion, »

Forgotten Films: A Boy and His Dog
26 November 2009 12:09 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Forgotten Films [1] is a semi-regular feature on Film Junk where we explore interesting movies that have fallen off the radar or slipped through the cracks over the years. With all the post-apocalyptic movies that have been coming out lately, I thought it would be a good time to look back at one of the lesser known classics of the genre, L.Q. Jones' A Boy and His Dog. Based on the novella by Harlan Ellison, the movie takes place in the year 2024, after not one but two additional world wars have been initiated by humanity -- the latter of which leaves the Earth devastated by nuclear missiles. As a result, a large part of the movie presents a familiar desert wasteland setting that has come to be associated with post-apocalyptic tales over the years. A young, pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson stars as Vic, an 18-year-old nomad who lost his »

Veteran’s Day: Movies Veterans Love
11 November 2009 3:45 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
A day that every American should remember arrives today, the 11th day of the 11th month of every year. It echoes in perpetuity, providing all of us in the Us with a continued wall of integrity, protection and honor via the many calls to duty that have been answered for hundreds of years.

Viff 2009: 'Empire State Building Murders'
3 October 2009 11:39 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Based almost entirely on found footage — and a clever script to thread that footage together — Empire State Building Murders is a loving tribute to classic Hollywood films.
French director William Karel, who co-wrote the script with Jerome Charyn, has crafted a film in which they've pulled footage from classic films and edited them together to tell a completely original story.
It's a mashup, a remix of some of the best gangster and noir films from the '30s, '40s and '50s. "Starring" Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall and James Cagney as the main players in a love triangle set in post-Second World War New York, when the movies of the time would have us believe the Mob was in complete control.
Douglas is the face of Jim Kowalski, a former New York cop who receives a letter addressed to him but postmarked Aug. 17, 1949, some 60 years earlier, that has been »
Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters

(from left to right) Cast of Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters This was not an easy list by any stretch. As I went through Quentino Tarantino's films and jot down my favorite characters from each, my list continued to grow and grow... well beyond ten names. At one point I thought I would do a top 15, but that would have meant leaving off a couple of characters I didn't want to see left out and I didn't want to have to go up to 20 because at that point it just becomes excessive and sort of ruins the fun of narrowing things down to ten and taking a stand. So I ended with ten, but made sure to list my honorable mentions at the end, a list that still left a couple of names out of the »

From his well-documented foot fetish to on-set pranks, we give you a peek into the director's process.

Beverly Hills, California — By now, you know that Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is in theaters on Friday. You know it's got Nazi killers, scalpings galore and dialogue cooler than Freddie Jackson sipping a milkshake in a snowstorm. But where does it take Quentin's unique universe?
For the answer to that question, we went straight to the stars to get the scoop on Tarantino's unique filmmaking ways — past, present and future.
The Foot Thing — Hey, whatever Quentin is into is the dude's own business. But when you think about all those lingering foot shots of Uma Thurman ("Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction"), Bridget Fonda ("Jackie Brown") and the girls of "Death Proof," coupled with John Travolta's foot-massage speech in "Pulp Fiction" and »

Ten greatest Films about America
4 July 2009 6:48 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
1)Nashville (1975) Robert Altman’s Masterpiece captured America in the 70s like one else: All its confusion, disappointment, and uncertainty. The film follows 24 different characters over a period of as few days in Nashville just before a political fundraising concert. We take a peak in the lives of country music superstars, hippies, aspiring singers, mothers, producers, liberals, conservatives, radicals, Christians. We see how America has changed and how our moral system had been skewed by Vietnam, Watergate, the Kennedy assassinations and the sexual revolution. Illustrates perfectly what john Lennon sang “Strange Days Indeed.” 2)Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) There are few scenes in movie history more powerful than Jimmy Stewart’s impassioned speech on the house floor. He says what every American wanted to say. These politicians are more loyal to their parties and think of people as numbers they need to get reelected. Frank Capera’s idealistic film has not »

A Gangster's Demise: Jarrett vs. Rico vs. Dillinger
3 July 2009 4:53 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I am sure many/most of you clicking on this headline were interested enough to have also gone and seen Michael Mann's Public Enemies this weekend and saw Johnny Depp as bank robber John Dillinger get gunned down outside the Biograph theater in a haze of CG blood. Personally I thought the use of CG at that moment was perhaps the worst part of the entire movie and wish Mann had gone practical and instead of seeing Dillinger from the front we would have seen him from behind as the gun went off. But oh well, we can't get everything we want and I still enjoyed the movie. However, it got me to thinking about a couple of other gangster deaths and two I think are either the best or up there with the best. The first clip below is of James Cagney as Arthur 'Cody' Jarrett in White Heat »

The 10 Sexiest Gangster Girlfriends of All Time Ever
2 July 2009 7:19 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
As any solid movie buff knows, there's a certain number of ingredients that go into making a movie about gang life. Whether it be the mob or street gangs, a crucial component in the world of those violent killers and drug-runners is the women that love them. They're usually bad dames, dumb broads, or diabolical femme fatales that navigate the underworld just as deftly as the man (or men) they're screwing (or screwing). And because of their love for the dark side, we love them right back. I bravely delved into the underworld to return with the 10 Sexiest Gangster Girlfriends and a few images that should act as a helpful visual aid. Plus, some of the movies on this list are a few of the best gangland films ever made so it's okay if you start geeking out over the movies instead of the women.

Raising free-range kids
30 June 2009 5:45 AM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
I wrote recently about my childhood growing up in Downstate Illinois. I mentioned me and my friends roaming all over town on our bikes, walking to the movies and the swimming pool on our own, and riding our bikes through rain water backed up after thunderstorms. Also, for that matter, through piles of burning leaves. One of my classmates wrote to mention that the Boneyard, the creek running through town, was a drainage canal. "What?" I asked. "Where we caught crawdaddies?"
One of the comments on the entry was from a reader in Florida who said, rather sadly, that his 15-year-old son had just taken his first unsupervised bike ride through the city park. When he was growing up, he said, things were different. But not "today." We use that word today as code for the dangers lurking everywhere in modern society. Another reader sent me a link to a »

Editor’s note: This article originally appeared at EightMillionStories.com on February 27, 2009
There’s an A.C. Lyles Building at the Paramount Pictures main lot, but you won’t find A.C. Lyles there; his office is on the fourth floor of the William S. Hart Building.
When I arrived for our interview, Mr. Lyles was chatting with some visitors in his outer office. He bid me into his main office, and asked his assistant Pam to put in a video… a short promo reel that opens with a six minute tribute by then-President Ronald Reagan, who warmly recalls his and Nancy’s many years of friendship with A.C. and his wife Martha, and congratulates A.C. on his fifty years at the studio. The President’s intro is followed by taped congratulations from President Carter, President Ford, and Vice President Bush, then assorted clips celebrating Mr. »

Pros And Cons

'Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" With these words, mama's boy Arthur Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) is blown to smithereens in Raoul Walsh's blistering "White Heat" (1949).
The film includes two other standout scenes: Jarrett going bonkers in the prison mess hall when he learns his beloved mom has died, and an obliging Jarrett riddling a car trunk with bullets when a prisoner inside pleads for air.

[DVD Review] TCM Spotlight: Doris Day Collection
21 April 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The TCM Spotlight Doris Day Collection, with its pretty in pink packaging, is not a bad start for those wanting to get familiar with one of America’s favorite sweethearts of the studio days. This is the fourth Doris Day box set released by Warner Home Video after two collections and a Doris Day/Rock Hudson set in 2007. To see Day’s best and more famous pictures like Pillow Talk (which earned her an Academy Award nod) and Teacher’s Pet, one must seek those earlier sets, but the advantage of this particular set is that it contains five of Doris Day’s earlier films, from within the first five years of her debut (save for The Tunnel of Love), so you’ll be able to follow her blooming success.
It’s a Great Feeling is the earliest film on the set. It was Day’s third film and her breakout role. »
