Citizen Kane? Of course I’ve seen it!

23 October 2009 2:50 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

In a recent survey commissioned by Orange, in association with Orange Wednesday, it was revealed that - shock! horror! - people sometimes lie about the films they have seen….especially if someone from Orange collars them in the street and asks them what films they’ve lied about seeing. Dirty Dancing, Taxi Driver and Gone With The Wind are all in the top ten, while 1 in 5 people have apparently lied about seeing the 1972 masterpiece The Godfather. The reason for doing so is unclear (Dirty Dancing?) but it got me thinking about those films that I probably should have seen, possibly never will never see, but if someone asked me…well, I might just say I have. Why? Because I’m just so, so ashamed! Discounting all the world cinema that has so far slipped through the net, here are my top ten movie blanks: Ben Hur Casablanca High Noon The Magnificent Ambersons »

Sr Pick [Video]: How ‘Terminator’ Should Have Ended

1 October 2009 3:24 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Screen Rant seriously has some of the best readers anywhere. They are always on the lookout for new and interesting things to share with us, which we in turn share with you. Today we bring you a video courtesy of long time reader/commenter/troublemaker Lencho - Thanks Bro!

Today’s Sr Pick was created by a very talented group of individuals over at HowItShouldHaveEnded.com, and after watching a handful of their previous videos I can safely say “they put their foot in this one” (I know someone has heard that saying before). They have some excellent Flash animators and have chosen to share their skill with the world. They take some great movies that had less than great endings and then, well, show us how it should have ended.

 

They just put out episode 20 and it addresses how the Terminator franchise should have ended. It’s odd that »

The Blu-Ray Review: The Quick and the Dead (1995)

15 September 2009 1:55 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Colin J reviews the Sam Raimi western.

Back before he became an "A"-list director with the Spider-Man movies, Sam Raimi was best known as the guy behind the crazy Evil Dead horror flicks. Raimi attempts other genres, however, and took on Westerns with 1995's The Quick and the Dead.

Rugged frontierswoman named Ellen (Sharon Stone) enters the lawless town of Redemption in search of revenge. Though intent on her mission, she becomes involved in the town's big Quick Draw Competition. There she faces off against contestants like cocky young Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio), reformed gunslinger Reverend Cort (Russell Crowe) and flamboyant Ace (Lance Henriksen). While this occurs, she pursues her vendetta against John Herod (Gene Hackman), another shooter and the root of much of the town's evil.

Wow - it's been so long since the release of Quick that I forgot Stone actually starred in the movie! If you look at the Blu-ray's cover, »

Josh Hartnett to Star in Post-Apocalyptic Western

11 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Despite all the attempts at a comeback, the western genre will never be as popular as it was half a century ago. But could the genre appeal more to 21st century moviegoers by being set in some post-apocalyptic future rather than the dusty, tumbleweed-ridden past? It's an idea that's been thought of before, and now it's being thought of again by many in Hollywood.

In a way, the upcoming adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is like a western, and January's "The Book of Eli" is even moreso. Now Variety reports of another near-future western called "Gunslinger." Josh Hartnett will star as one of two brothers seeking revenge on a gang that killed their parents. French filmmaker Chris Nahon ("Blood: The Last Vampire") will be at the helm when "Gunslinger" shoots in Canada next year.

Let's just forget the fact they need to re-title the film, as it falls »

'Outland' Heads Back to the Final Frontier

19 August 2009 12:45 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Allow my paranoia to run rampant for a second because I'm beginning to think the big movie studios are taking their remake ideas from my Netflix account. Languishing somewhere around #57on my queue is Peter Hyams' Outland, which means I'll probably get to it just as Warner Bros' remake of it hits theaters. Yes, that's right -- Warner Bros is remaking Outland. It isn't just an idle fancy either, as The Hollywood Reporter says that the studio is already well into production. Michael Davis is set to direct, and Chad St. John is penning the screenplay.

As you might remember, the original starred Sean Connery as a marshall on one of Jupiter's moons. His one year tour of duty isn't exactly peaceful as several miners meet violent ends, and none of the other colonists are willing to assist in the pursuit of justice. Connery is forced to take on »

‘Outland’ Remake Coming To A Moon Near You

19 August 2009 7:34 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Warner Bros. has announced their plans for a remake of Peter Hyams' 1981 thriller Outland, and they've already named a director for the project. Per Variety, Michael Davis will be directing the new film from a script by Chad St. John. Davis' last film was the over-the-top action flick Shoot 'Em Up starring Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti.  Fun, action set-pieces aside, that movie was a cartoonish romp that offered nothing in the way of nuance, character, or drama. It will be interesting to see what Davis does with this new (well, old really) material. "We're staying true to the thematic heart of Outland" Davis says, "while expanding the space frontier concept." Outland starred Sean Connery as a police marshall stationed at a mining outpost on one of Jupiter's moons. He's too good at his job and quickly makes some powerful enemies who in turn call for backup in taking out the marshall. Connery's »

Uncle Sam snubs Golden Boy — again! Just one Oscars winner added to the National Film Registry!

1 January 2009 8:59 AM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Every year the National Film Registry — a branch of the Library of Congress — chooses 25 movies to preserve for posterity. And, as usual, quite a few of its newest choices aren't ones deemed the best of their day by Hollywood — that is, they're not past Oscars contenders. Although 15 of the films cited were eligible (that is, they were produced after the Oscars were launched), only nine of them received nominations and only one — 1941's "Sergeant York" — was an Oscar winner, with awards for lead actor Gary Cooper (he prevailed in two of his five bids, picking up a bookend in 1952 for "High Noon") and editor William Holmes.
