This Week on DVD: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Food Inc.
3 November 2009 1:59 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The biggest DVD and Blu-ray release for this week is probably G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It pains me to know that this week some brave souls will give it another chance, while others will discover its sheer idiocy for the first time. If you're looking for something slightly better but still mediocre, you might try Tony Scott's remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. Other smaller releases for the week include Dolph Lundgren's direct-to-dvd action flick Command Performance, the Spanish post-apocalyptic flick Before The Fall, and the G.I. Joe Resolute animated microseries. Also keep an eye out for a few noteworthy documentaries this week including Food Inc., The English Surgeon, and the John Hughes doc Don't You Forget About Me (in Canada only). Plus: James Bond and Rocky collections on Blu-ray, and the only partially redundant Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut! Will you be picking anything up this week? »

Howard’S End Criterion Blu-ray Review
27 October 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
To American audiences, the late producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory are best known for their trio of E.M. Forster adaptations - which is telling for careers spanning 40 years and nearly 30 films together (almost all with writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala), making their Forster output roughly ten percent of their body of work. But then again, the names “Merchant and Ivory” are a sort of cinematic shorthand used to denote British films about boring people. My review of Howard’s End after the jump.
That’s not fair, it’s shorthand for particular literary works set at the turn of the century that depict the British class system in all of its repressive reputation, making it impossible for anyone to express their true feelings. To be fair, M&I’s Forster adaptations have been because of their most successful entries, with both A Room with a View and Howard’s »

Shore replaces Corigliano on ‘Darkness’
20 October 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | MovieScore Magazine | See recent MovieScore Magazine news »
John Corigliano’s score for the upcoming Mel Gibson thriller Edge of Darkness, directed by Martin Campbell, will be replaced by a new score by Howard Shore. The switch of composers was first indicated when the theatrical poster for the film appeared online this week, showing a credit block that makes no mention of Corigliano but lists Howard Shore under the “music by” tag. Warner Bros. has confirmed to MovieScore Magazine ... »

Fred Dekker Revisits The Night of the Creeps!
16 October 2009 7:44 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The most elusive cult creeper ever made finally makes its way to DVD and Blu-ray October 27th!
Night of the Creeps has become one of the most sought after late night cult creepers ever made. After hitting the video store circuit in the mid-80s on VHS tape (and VHS alone), the film quickly disappeared. It would later crawl out from late night cable television on that rare occasion, like some long dormant creature hungry for flesh. It's never been re-released on any medium, and has only made a handful of appearances at the local midnight theater. Despite that fact, Fred Dekker's amazing 1986 ode to aliens, zombies, and high school romps has developed a rabid following over the years. Revolving around squirmy black leeches that possess a town full of teenagers and treats them like puppets on prom night, it's a hard film to shake. And the fact that »
The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
15 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I had a friend who had done some jail time. I was always very curious about this because I knew that it would be hugely unlikely I would ever see the inside of a cell (knock on wood). He told that one of the most beloved movies by prisoners was Wizard of Oz. This made all the sense in the world. Wizard of Oz is the ultimate escapist fantasy, which betrays the film’s original message. My thoughts after the jump.
Ironically, what people remember most is the vivid Technicolor of Oz more than the sepia toned world of Kansas. We love our family, but the imagination is stirred by everything that happens when not at home, when not in a safe place. And yet that simple message that there is no place like home, that desire to return to one’s family is pretty profound in the movie. Wizard of Oz, »

DVD Playhouse—October 2009
By
The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’S Edition (Warner Bros.) A true highlight in digital restoration technology, Warner Bros. restoration of the 1939 classic is cause for celebration. The Technicolor of the late ‘30s looks as though it was shot yesterday, and is especially stunning on Blu-ray, which was produced by scanning each of the film’s original Technicolor camera negatives using 8K resolution. From this scan, a final “capture” master was created in 4K, yielding twice the resolution seen in the master utilized for the film’s previous DVD release. Judy Garland’s Dorothy is charming as ever, and the entire cast: Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch, are all stellar. Four disc set bonuses include: Sing-along track; Documentaries and featurettes; Two 1914 silent films produced by Oz author L. Frank Baum, based on his stories »

'Fellowship of the Ring' at Radio City Music Hall: High-class geekery
10 October 2009 8:47 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Last night, NYC's Radio City Music Hall played host to a screening of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Which would've been awesome enough by itself, given that Radio City is a fantastic place to see a film, and I haven't seen Fellowship on a big screen since its initial 2001 release. But what made it super special was that Howard Shore's score was performed, live, by a 300-person orchestra, along with a massive choir. The movie remains as majestic as it ever was -- but watching it with a crowd who knew »

Rarities from Shore’s vaults on new CD

Howard Shore, the composer of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is of course best known for his big, epic and orchestral scores for the aforementioned fantasy blockbuster saga, but he started out as a composer with a knack for experimentalism and unusual musical ventures. It has been exemplified in several of his earlier film scores, including Videodrome, Scanners and After Hours. Now, from the composer’s own record label (Howe ... »

'Lord Of The Rings' Composer Howard Shore On 'The Hobbit': 'It's Really A Return To A World That I Love'
2 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Last night, MTV's Kurt Loder sat down with "The Lord of the Rings" composer Howard Shore and Pippin the Hobbit actor Billy Boyd at The Paley Center for Media. Kurt was there to moderate a panel called Shore on the Score: The Music of "The Lord of the Rings," which featured Shore, Boyd and The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films author Doug Adams.
The event kicked off a week long "Lord of the Rings" celebration which will culminate with live performances of the "Fellowship of the Ring" score at Radio City Music Hall on October 9 and 10.
At the panel, Shore confirmed that he'll be working with Peter Jackson again soon on the score for the Guillermo del Toro-directed adaptation of The Hobbit." Much like what he did for "Lord of the Rings," Shore will compose his music before he ever sees a frame of the film. »

Stage Door: The Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien fans rejoice! On Oct. 9 and 10, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring hits Radio City Music Hall in a multimedia extravaganza. Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score will be performed synchronized with the hit film, showcased on a 60-foot screen. Conductor Ludwig Wicki will oversee 300 musicians that include the 21st Century Orchestra, which specializes in film music, The Collegiate Chorale, renowned soprano Kaitlyn Lusk and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. The epic-sized event neatly dovetails with this fall's release of Music of The Lord of the Rings Films, a book by musicologist Doug Adams. There will be pre-concert talks and post-concert signing sessions with both Shore and Adams. Shore, who wanted to hear the complete score performed live, says it's a unique experience for Lotr devotees. "I felt that I was seeing the music with more clarity... »

SAG Moderates Win Presidency, Secr. + Additional 4 Natl Seats
24 September 2009 6:39 PM, PDT | Digital Media Law | See recent Digital Media Law news »
In a victory for the SAG moderate coalition (Unite for Strength / Usan / independents), the Ufs candidates for president, Ken Howard, and secretary, Amy Aquino, won the union's national offices.
However, the election was close: Howard's total was slightly less than the two hardline candidates added together (Anne-Marie Johnson and Seymour Cassel) and Aquino's was slightly more than that of incumbent Connie Stevens. So the union is still very divided, and Howard acknowledged that the results were not a landslide and that the union is very divided, while saying that he planned to reach out to Mf supporters.
On the national board, the moderates showed strength as well: They picked up 4 of 11 seats in Hollywood and held all of the NY and regional (Rbd) seats. I estimate that this brings the moderate's board majority to around 60%, vs. 40% for Mf, but that's a very rough calculation and I'm not sure at this point. »

New old Predators
24 September 2009 10:17 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
What will the Predators look like in the new Rodriguez film? More like the original. What a relief. Alien Vs. Predator brought a new look for the dreadlocked extraterrestrial, something more of the steampunk variety. This did not go over too well with the die hards of the original from 1987. That predator was raw, gritty, and more believable in the beginning. Oh, and before the Avp fans get angry, the first film was alright, the second (Requiem) was total crap. Moving onwards, Howard... »
