Bad Lieutenants and Magnificent Sevens – the golden rules of the cinematic remake
31 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Magnificent Seven, The Ring, Psycho, The Preacher's Wife – some remakes are an improvement, some are an abysmal waste of time. Joe Queenan judges the pack
In 1992, Abel Ferrara made a very dark, very depressing movie called Bad Lieutenant. In it, Harvey Keitel played a morally bankrupt police officer who seeks redemption by investigating the rape of a nun who refuses to bring charges against her assailant, turning the Bad Lieutenant into the Mad Lieutenant. The film did nothing at the box office, and is remembered mostly because it is the motion picture in which Keitel shows off his penis. There was at the time no great demand for Keitel – a fine actor, but never a matinee idol – to show off his penis, even though it was a very splendid penis indeed, nor has there been any grassroots groundswell of support for this sort of thing afterwards.

The Best Movies On TV This New Year
29 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
As 2009 turns into 2010, the TV channels are screening some great movies both new and old to keep us entertained as we enter a new decade. Here is our pick of the bunch...
New Year's Eve - Thursday, 31 December If you happen to have some unwanted relatives staying around over the holiday period, then flick onto Meet The Spartans (Sky Movies Comedy, 10.15am) and they'll be off in a shot. As will your own sanity. For family fun, you could do worse than a dose of Robin Williams mania in Flubber (BBC1, 11.15am) followed by the legendary trio of Douglas, DeVito and Turner in Romancing The Stone (C4, 1.05pm). The season wouldn't be the same without a showing of Steve McQueen in The Great Escape (Sky Movies Screen 1, 2.25pm). If you'd rather contend with pyramids than prisoner of war camps, then check out the disposable but wildly enjoyable (more) »

Cinema Retro Presents Monte Hellman: The Lost Interview
28 December 2009 8:00 AM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
As Cinema Retro 'regulars' know, we have occasionally been able to find unpublished or rarely-seen interviews with legendary film personalities and provide them for our readers. In issue #1 of the magazine, Steve Mori provided an unseen interview Steve McQueen from 1968 and in issue #15, Steve did the same with a fascinating 1974 discussion with Lee Marvin. Now contributing writer Kris Gilpin has been kind enough to share with us with a 1988 interview with director Monte Hellman, whose work is revered by some of the great directors of our time. Please keep in mind that the text and events that are discussed in this interview took place in 1988 and have not been amended. (This is part one of a two-part interview.)

Brokeback Mountain Reclaims the American West
16 December 2009 8:36 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In July, at the Museum of the American West, The Autry National Center (The Autry) installed the iconic intertwined shirts from Brokeback Mountain (Bbm). The shirts are center-stage beside the costumes of John Wayne, Kate Hepburn, Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood. It's an easy fit -great goes with great, but if clothes could talk, their arrival was the biggest "guess who's coming to dinner" moment in Los Angeles schmatta history. The Autry was never naïve to the role of Lgbt people in the early frontier, but 'the love that dare not speak its name' remained virtually mute in the American West. Apart from the stereotypical cowboy with his cowhand silhouetted alone on the long trail, heretofore-rural America wasn't the geography for such talk. With the shirts holding fast on their walls, The Autry has opened up a »

Piranha 3D Trailer Swims into Theaters When?
15 December 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Alex Aja's first foray into 3-D horror fare, Piranha 3D , doesn't hit theaters until April 16, but it's about to get a huge push. Shock Till You Drop has learned the trailer is being positioned ahead of prints of James Cameron's Avatar , another 3-D offering, which opens in theaters this week. We're unsure if the trailer itself will be in 3-D. A remake of the Joe Dante-directed creature feature, the film stars Elisabeth Shue, Steven McQueen, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss and Christopher Lloyd. One of our own caught an advance screening of the film, you can read his thoughts here . For our full set report, click here and here . »

Review of the decade: Peter Bradshaw's noughties round-up
7 December 2009 3:01 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Hollywood struggled to respond to the war on terror, documentaries went through a golden age, and Michael Haneke was the noughties' moral conscience
If it is possible to whimper at the volume of a bang, then that is how this decade is ending on the big screen: with two high-profile, high-budget movies about the end of the world: Roland Emmerich's cheerfully silly 2012, and John Hillcoat's cheerlessly serious The Road, which arrive with a good deal of commentary to the effect that these movies typify the zeitgeist of the decade.
The noughties – that jokey word coined in the carefree 90s – are seen as damaged, injured, traumatised. The decade looks cracked from top to bottom by a sensational act of terrorism; by a reaction that achieved neither political palliative nor military success; by the confrontation between first-world prosperity and developing-world poverty; by the coming environmental catastrophe that threatens to engulf both; and finally, »

A Conversation with Captain Howdy: The Fangoria Interview with Eileen Dietz
28 November 2009 7:01 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
With vast experience on stage and screen (big and small), Eileen Dietz' career has woven a path in-and-out of the horror genre. While horror fans will no doubt associate the actress with her role as the face of evil in William Friedkin's Oscar-winning 1973 film The Exorcist, Dietz has many stories to tell. Fangoria's Australian correspondent Lee Gambin recently sat down for a one-on-one interview to discuss her career and craft.
Lee Gambin/Fangoria: What were some of your very first jobs in the entertainment industry, as I understand you started super young and how did the Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre School benefit you as a young actress?
Eileen Dietz: I worked at a Summer Stock company in Kalamazoo Michigan. It was a very bad place and the director of the theatre only brought me up there to rob me of my innocence if you know what I mean. »

Steve McQueen, Lord Of The Apes!
27 November 2009 9:56 AM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
All similarities to the contrary, this is Not Steve McQueen...Love your website, although I have one question regarding your banner. Who is the guy pointing the gun (the guy between Raquel Welch and Christopher Lee)? I used to think it was Dr. Cornelius from Planet of the Apes... Is it McQueen? If it is McQueen it's a very unflattering picture... It's driving me crazy.
Other than that, your website is great. RomuloRetro responds: First, thank you for your kind words and for being a loyal reader. In fact, the image of the guy pointing the gun in our masthead graphic is indeed Steve McQueen, as depicted on a European release poster for Bullitt. Now, Romulo, we will admit it might not be the most life-like portrait of the iconic star...and we can understand confusing the image with that of another actor--but frickin' Cornelius from Planet of the Apes? »

Revenge of the shlockmeister: Roger Corman gets his due
25 November 2009 4:57 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Roger Corman's output through the years may not be immediately familiar, but he's been a wide conduit for emerging talent and raw creativity. That's why he's finally been given an Oscar
"Ok, so, November 14th 2009, Roger Corman receives an Oscar. People … what took you so long?" The words of Jonathan Demme in his speech before handing over the statuette to Corman on that fateful evening.
Don't worry, you've not missed the Oscar ceremony (something surprisingly easy to do since Sky swiped the TV rights). This was the inaugural Governors awards, part of the new-look Academy that will see the number of nominees greatly expanded come March, where the board issue honorary Oscars to deserving talents who they missed out or ignored over the years. It's a shame this was such a sidelined event as we were denied the opportunity to see Hollywood's brightest and best politely clapping at a »

Brad Pitt to Star in ‘Dark Void’ Video Game Adaptation
20 November 2009 4:36 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Brad Pitt’s Plan B Productions company is teaming with Reliance Big Entertainment to make a feature film based on the unreleased Capcom video game, Dark Void.
The story of the game is about a pilot named William Agustus Grey who ends up in another universe after crashing his cargo vessel in the Bermuda Triangle. In this other realm, he meets human survivors who are slaves to the “Watchers,” an alien race who were banished to this world and now act as Gods with humans doing their bidding.
Grey, who’s currently planned to be played by Brad Pitt, enlists the help of Nikola Tesla to modify Watcher technology and fight back Iron Man style with his jetback.
For more on the game and the trailer for Dark Void, which shows off the cinematic qualities employed in the game, head over to Game Rant.
The trailer definitely could make for »

'Bones' cast takes us behind the scenes (and the belt buckle)

Yes, it's November Sweeps, but we're already looking ahead to December episodes of Fox's Bones. The cast took photos for EW as they filmed the Dec. 3 hour, inspired by the gamer documentary The King of Kong, and Dec. 10's Christmas story, which David Boreanaz accurately describes as "a little sick." (A man dressed as Santa is blown up after a botched bank robbery. Note: This is also the episode that Emily Deschanel's sister Zooey guest stars as a distant relative of Brennan's invited to spend the holidays with Bones and her father. Welcome back, Ryan O'Neal.)

2012: Day 3 – The Posters
11 November 2009 9:09 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
In Part 3 of Wamg’s look at 2012, we’ll take a look at the posters marketing the film as well as other disaster themed posters. Back in August, I showed you some of the dazzling posters from director Roland Emmerich’s apocalyptic movie. For me, there’s nothing better than when you go into the theater, movie posters towering all around, and you instinctively walk right up to one that catches your eye… especially the visually cool ones. That film is immediately locked into the brain and you begin thinking about what the first teaser for the film will look like on the big screen. Funny enough, this latest one for 2012 is reminiscent of The 10 Commandments, although Heston’s “Moses” has a far better outcome, and with a totally different type of ”God’s Wrath” looming in the distance. No burning bush or stone tablets to save this Tibetian Monk. »

Exclusive: The shocking story behind last night's killer 'Vampire Diaries'

Spoiler Alert: You know the drill. If last night's Vampire Diaries is still taking up space in your FauxVo, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward... This sucks. My favorite Vampire Diaries character, nascent fang-bearer Vicki, bit the dust thanks to a stake-weilding Stefan in last night's bloody good Halloween-themed episode. Or did she... In this exclusive interview, Vicki's portrayer, Kayla Ewell, reveals shocking details surrounding her on-screen death, including the identity of the original killer (it wasn't supposed to be Stefan!) and how a clue in last night's eppy may foreshadow her return. Is Vicki really dead this time? »

Yves St. Laurent Tops Dead Celebrity Money List
28 October 2009 2:54 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
The late fashion designer Yves St. Laurent has jumped to the top of Forbes magazine's "Top-Earning Dead Celebrities" list thanks to a one-time estate sale last February that netted $443 million. With a total of around $90 million, Michael Jackson came in at No. 3 on the list, mostly as a result of the $60 million advance that Sony Films paid to his estate and concert promoter Aeg for the rights to his concert rehearsal footage for the This Is It! movie. Still the figure paled in comparison with the $225 million that the legendary Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein earned last year. Coming in fourth was Elvis Presley, with $55 million. Lord of the Rings writer J.R.R. Tolkien rounded out the top five with $50 million. Forbes noted that several "mainstays" on its dead celebrities list fell off this year, including Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Steve McQueen. "These icons couldn't keep up with their peers," it noted. »

26 October 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
A brand new Halloween special based on Monsters vs. Aliens airs this Wednesday on NBC
Halloween is just around the corner and so is DreamWorks animated special Monsters Vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, which will air on NBC Wednesday, October 28 (8-8:30 p.m. Et). Based on the smash hit Monsters Vs. Aliens and once again starring the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland, Will Arnet and Rainn Wilson, Susan Murphy, a.k.a. Ginormica (Reese Witherspoon) and the Monsters are now working with the U.S. government as special ops. So when an alien presence is detected in Susan's hometown of Modesto, California, right before Halloween, the team is dispatched to investigate.
Everything appears normal, right down to the jack-o-lanterns peering out from every doorstep and windowsill. But when Halloween arrives, those innocent-looking carved pumpkins reveal themselves for what they really are: Mutant aliens! »

So the opening scene establishes that the Drapers are religiously unobservant, attending church only on Christmas (not even Easter, since Betty dresses like an Easter egg all year round), which is perhaps for the best, since daughter Sally seems to have all the fixings of a fanatic vessel of wrath. If she believed she was an instrument of God’s will, neighboring towns might go up in flames while she stood by, blankly fulfilled, yet plotting further harm. Don is looking awfully tired tonight, the two-timing dog. “I don’t know if you’re hungry, but I made date-nut bread,” says Sally’s teacher (greeting Don for one of his drop-in dick-ins), one of those lines of dialogue that just clunks off the curb, like Ali McGraw’s explanation for why she was late picking up Steve McQueen after his prison release in The Getaway--”I was at the »
