Breillat's Bad Love becomes a Must Read, not a Must See
just now | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
If the debilitating after-effects of a stroke weren't bad enough (she miraculously gave birth to not one (The Last Mistress) but two films when you add the Nyff selection Bluebeard) now comes word that the Bad Love (a project which she mentioned to us the last time she came to Nyff for a film), a remake of Breillat's own film, is Doa. - Thanks to Fin De Cinema's Joe Bowman for piecing together an update on provocatrice filmmaker Catherine Breillat. If the debilitating after-effects of a stroke weren't bad enough (she miraculously gave birth to not one (The Last Mistress) but two films when you add the Nyff selection Bluebeard) now comes word that the Bad Love (a project which she mentioned to us the last time she came to Nyff for a film), a remake of Breillat's own film, is Doa.

Why 'The Princess and the Frog' is Great Entertainment for Everyone
26 November 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The 1995 arrival on the movie scene of Pixar and their premiere film, Toy Story was a watershed event in the world of animation; at once a blessing and a curse. While the revolutionary animation brought cartoons to a whole new level of realism, it also quickly put several nails in the coffin of the 2-D animation those born before 1990 were raised on. Gone were the days of onscreen watercolor masterpieces like Sleeping Beauty or The Little Mermaid or The Lion King. Now, 15 years later, Disney has decided to give their old-fashioned animation one more try with the New Orleans-set The Princess and The Frog. And they succeed admirably at bringing that old Disney feeling back to the silver screen.
The Princess and The Frog is a play on the old fairytale, "The Frog Prince". This time, our princess is actually a struggling waitress named Tianna (Anika Noni Rose) who dreams not of romance, »
Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati Presents Sleeping Beauty, 12/2-1/3/2010
24 November 2009 3:07 PM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
In celebration of over ten years of creating holiday musicals specifically written with multigenerational appeal, one of Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's (Etc) most popular family-friendly holiday productions, Sleeping Beauty by Joseph McDonough and David Kisor, returns December 2 through January 3 and is directed by D. Lynn Meyers. In the tradition of Etc's "fractured fairytale" holiday productions, Sleeping Beauty is a modern spin on the classic fairytale, and features Briar Rose, her overprotective parents, a rock n' roll prince, and three wacky fairies (and an evil one!). »
'The Princess And The Frog,' 'Me And Orson Welles' And 'The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee' In This Week's unLimited
24 November 2009 11:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It's another big holiday weekend with plenty of new releases to consider following your Thanksgiving feast this Thursday (and following your subsequent leftovers feasts through Sunday). In the same way that many Americans prefer alternatives to the traditional turkey and stuffing dinner on the day of gratitude, many moviegoers want something other than a studio tentpole release the day after Thanksgiving. Really, why would you want a popcorn movie when you're still full from the night before?
There are a couple of limited release options this week, including an important studio film getting a surprisingly soft opening, to appease such a film diet. Check these films out if you want something different as or additional to your main course this weekend:
What is is: Richard Linklater, director of "Dazed and Confused" and "School of Rock," returns with a fictionalized coming-of-age drama set during production of Orson Welles »

Designing for Beautility: Where Beauty Meets Utility
3 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
Economics grab all the headlines but beauty is just as important, and even has serious financial ramifications. Beauty does serve a function. Didn't the way that cars used to look--and no longer do--have a big effect on the failure of Detroit? Beauty is more than skin deep. Beauty is powerful. Utility is beautiful and beauty has utility. Let's call it "Beautility" for short.
The Avanti Studebaker, designed by Raymond Loewy (and one of my dad's favorites)
Beauty has different meanings in different cultures and eras--but everybody has some idea of beauty (even the Hell's Angels). Although humans can't agree on specific examples, we do all share a general formula for beauty: It has a very pleasing physical sensual element combined with mental enlightenment. "Aaaahs" and "Ah-has." It's the combination. There is an intellectual component to a beautiful person and an emotional component to a beautiful mathematical proof. The experience of »

Movies That Make Me Think of Halloween
30 October 2009 9:51 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Recycled Film Experience! I wrote some of this in advance -- years in advance in fact -- to free up time to enjoy this costume crazed holiday. I originally published this list in 2005, but I've tweaked it some. Plus, not all of you were around in 2005. Herewith, the top 12 movies that remind me of Halloween. It's a top ten list and it's not even Tuesday. I'm so generous.
12 The Batman franchise (1989-2008)
In 1997 I went out Halloween clubbing as the Uma version of Poison Ivy. Whenever you dress up as a movie character the year the movie comes out, you'll have competition. There was another Poison Ivy there but I buried her, I promise. I had the horns and all the details, see. It was the longest I ever spent getting ready for Halloween (which is saying something): glue guns, orange wigs, fake foliage, you name it. I don't try as hard anymore. »

A Different Way to Look at Disney Princesses
28 October 2009 2:33 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
I find it amazing that there was never a Disney revolution. Just this week I wrote about how horror was reinvigorated when women were allowed to fight back. Thinking of the two together, it's a bit embarrassing that horror fiends could buy into strong women, but familial units could not. On one side, there's Laurie Strode and Sydney Prescott. On the other...
There's an image swirling around Digg, which you can see above (click on the image to get it full-sized). It's the classic Disney princesses roster -- Snow White*, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella. Above their smiling faces, however, are their basic characteristics and plot lines. When you boil it down to the basics, the story is enough to make anyone queasy. Snow White's hormones almost kill her, Aurora is married off in the crib for politics and saved years later with a kiss (or sex and slavery »

Snow White on Blu-Ray
14 October 2009 10:39 AM, PDT | www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news »
Disney showed how awesome their traditional animation can look in HD with their Sleeping Beauty Blu Ray. That was a good setup because it makes you appreciate the nuances of Walt.s first animated feature, Snow White.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on Blu Ray
Most of the backgrounds are soft while the characters are drawn with sharp lines. There.s still subtle shading, and some intentional fading for worn locations. Heck, it looks like real stone in the courtyard. Those early animators were going for a simulation of reality, and on Blu Ray it looks like they.ve achieved it. Character motion, particularly animals, is enunciated with the crisp lines of HD. »
'Snow White' on Blu-ray: Relive the fairest tale of them all
13 October 2009 6:07 PM, PDT | Denver Movies Examiner | See recent Denver Movies Examiner news »
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of those iconic films that stretches across generations. Familiar yet fresh, Snow White’s entry onto Blu-ray is not only a celebration for millions of families across the world; it’s a celebration for Disney. Snow White, like Mickey Mouse, is their bread and butter. If they screw up Snow White, you’d better believe that Disney would collapse under the weight of all the hate mail. Nobody wants to be the one to tell Walt’s frozen head that his flagship movie is a stinker on Blu. Luckily nobody has to do it as Snow White’s eagerly anticipated debut is magnificently crammed with actually interesting content and will be a prized-possession for younglings and their great-grandparents everywhere.
The story is the same as you remember it. The Wicked Queen is vying for the title of “fairest of them all” but »
Girls on Film: Maleficent's Reign
13 October 2009 6:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
We can't go through a month of villain themery on Cinematical without gushing over Maleficent. But since there's much to talk about, I wanted to give her more than a brief ode via "Villains We Love." She's one of the biggies when it comes to villainesses, so naturally, she should have a week's reign on Girls on Film.
Maleficent first appeared after the stirring of a strong wind and dramatic music. From a green fog she emerged, a loyal crow at her side, but she didn't just delve into evil in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. She looked around her, at a celebration including royalty, nobility, and gentry. She saw her fairy foes, and asked where her invite was. Naturally, there wasn't one for the weird and powerful faery, so she decides on a curse: Before the sun sets on the princess' sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die. »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Continues Disney HD Standard
12 October 2009 8:03 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Every Disney catalog Blu-Ray that has been released to date has been a must-own HD title. “Sleeping Beauty” may still be the most complete and beautifully designed Blu-Ray ever and “Pinocchio” is not too far behind. To no one’s surprise, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” doesn’t break the pattern, even if it’s not quite the ‘game-changing’ release that its Disney HD predecessors arguably were.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
The Blu-Ray/DVD combo release may not be a game-changer but the film itself undeniably was. Any list of the most influential films of all time that doesn’t include “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is simply incomplete. “Snow White” was the first feature-length animated film ever made and it launched the Disney brand. If it had failed, as most insiders thought it would, there probably would be no Disney. Imagine a world without the films that the »

[DVD Review] Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition
8 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Critics, animation historians and Disney lovers alike shower Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with praise for being “the film that started it all”. It deserves its accolades because, unless you’re going to be a Steamboat Willy stickler, it’s the one that put Walt Disney on the map. The rich colors and the fairytale-simple story make it an engaging tale that children and adults alike can watch over and over. Revisiting it years later, after being spoiled with Disney’s current Pixar run or the beautifully drawn 2D films of the 90s like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, Snow White retains all its magic and surprises you with how dark some of its imagery actually is.
Snow White and Sleeping Beauty always stood out amongst the other films in Disney’s repertoire. When Snow White debuted in 1937, it was followed by Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella and »

Blu-ray Review: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Platinum Edition)
6 October 2009 2:07 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is 72-years-old and it is coming home in a bright and shiny Blu-ray high-definition transfer that is simply a must own for any fan of 2-D animation and a requirement for any Disney buff. This is the third classic Disney feature to hit Blu-ray along with Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio and like those two it is simply beautiful. The package includes a two-disc Blu-ray Diamond Edition release and also includes a single disc DVD for those that may be looking to adopt Blu-ray in the future or may want the DVD edition to keep the kids entertained in the car. Disney is also doing something a little different with this release and making it available in both Blu-ray and DVD style packaging supposedly so it will fit in better with the rest of your collection. I guess that would make sense if you didn't own any other Blu-rays, »

Lella Smith Takes Us Through the History of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
4 October 2009 8:51 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The Creative Director of the studio's Animation Research Library shares some rarely-seen concept art from the film and talks about this classic.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will debut on Blu-ray and kick off the studio's wonderful new Diamond Collection DVD/Blu-ray line on October 6, and I recently was fortunate enough to participate in a web event that gave this animated classic - the first feature-length film from the legendary studio - some new context. The web event was with Lella Smith, the Creative Director of the Walt Disney Animation Studios Animation Research Library, and before fielding questions from the press, she showed us a slideshow presentation filled with rare concept art images and information on the film.
We were shown images of some of the early dwarfs that didn't make the final seven, like Baldy and Jumpy and we also saw how some of the early images of »
Gay Of The Dead 24: “Unspeakable Horror”
4 October 2009 8:18 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Remember books? You know those collections of paper that had writing on them? Think analog websites. Well, back in the olden days, they could be as scary as movies.
I grew up a bookworm courtesy of my parents. They read constantly, and made sure I had a library card as soon as I could read. (Libraries = analog ISPs.) I devoured horror paperbacks, and in one notable reading marathon, read Audrey Rose, beginning to end, in one 24 hour sitting. I even spent the summer I turned 12 working at Aunt Bonnie’s Used Books in Helena, Mt. No salary; I was paid in all the paperbacks I could lug home, which meant my collection of horror movie novelizations grew into the hundreds. (I sold them all in college for money and have spent the last decade buying them all again.)
Now it’s the future, and more and more people turn to the Internet for reading material. »
