The Forgotten: Head Shots

4 December 2009 1:25 PM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »

A strange, ringing tinnitus sound in the subway. A man, his shirt and face spattered profusely with blood, shambles in catatonic stupor up the stairs. Another man, blood gouting from a wound in his brow, staggers down the stairs. These men have something in common, but because of that very something, they do not notice each other.

Jules Feiffer, cartoonist, playwright, author and illustrator, is so multi-talented and so refined and brilliant in each of his talents that it's perversely easy to underrate him. For instance, as screenwriter of Mike Nichols' film Carnal Knowledge and Robert Altman's film Popeye, his work brackets the celebrated New Hollywood cinema of the 1970s. Add to that one screenplay for Alain Resnais (I Want to Go Home, 1989) and 1971's disturbing family comedy Little Murders, directed by Alan Arkin, and Feiffer's contribution to cinema becomes a small but vital one.

Hints About 2010 Oscars Emerge: No More Five-Person Presenting

17 November 2009 1:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

As you've probably already heard, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is shaking things up at this year's Oscars by having 10 Best Picture nominees instead of five, and by moving the honorary awards (read: the boring part of the show) to a special ceremony of their own. That ceremony will be held in November, and-- holy crap, it was this weekend! The almost-Oscars were on Saturday!

They're called the Governors Awards, and while they won't be televised, the AMPAS website has some photos and background info. Honorary Oscars went to actress Lauren Bacall (pictured), cinematographer Gordon Willis (the Godfather trilogy, Manhattan, All the President's Men), and director/producer Roger Corman (numerous MST3K films). Astonishingly, the legendary Bacall has only received one Oscar nomination in her 65-year career, for The Mirror Has Two Faces. Willis was nominated for The Godfather: Part III and Zelig. Corman, who has directed »

6 Brilliant Films by This Weekend's Honorary Oscar-Winning Dp Gordon Willis

13 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Gordon Willis is the best cinematographer America ever produced. There. I said it. If he'd only shot the Godfather trilogy, Manhattan, Zelig and All the President's Men (let alone Pennies From Heaven, Interiors, Klute and Broadway Danny Rose), he'd have at least earned consideration among the greats like Gregg Toland and Billy Bitzer and his Oscar-winning contemporaries Conrad Hall and Haskell Wexler. And very few would argue against Willis being the best American cinematographer to never win an Oscar -- until tomorrow, that is, when Willis will join Roger Corman as a recipient of a long, long over lifetime-achievement Academy Award. In a series of clips after the jump, see some of what the Academy missed (and is finally making up for) all these years. »

Exclusive Video: Hal Holbrook Stands in That Evening Sun

12 November 2009 6:38 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Actor Hal Holbrook has had a long and distinguished career. Best known for his legendary role as the Watergate conspiracy lynchpin Deep Throat in All the President's Men, the actor was introduced to an all new audience in 2007 when he was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in Sean Penn's Into the Wild. A veteran of over one-hundred and twenty film and television projects, the actor has appeared in such movies as John Carpenter's The Fog, Capricorn One, The Star Chamber, Wall Street, Fletch Lives and The Firm, not to mention countless performances on popular television programs like Evening Shade, The West Wing and The Sopranos. It's safe to say that at age eighty-four, Holbrook shows no signs of slowing down as he is currently getting rave reviews for his performance as a Tennessee farm owner dealing with being forced off his farm and into a retirement home in That Evening Sun, »

Discuss: What was the Worst Film to Win an Oscar?

21 September 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Best Picture winners are often as much the product of their times and a well-funded campaign as they are reflective of the quality of the films. Hindsight can give some perspective and make us roll our eyes at past winners. Case in point: 1994, when "Forrest Gump" beat out both "Pulp Fiction" and "The Shawshank Redemption." Consider 1976, when "Rocky" beat "Taxi Driver," "All the President's Men" and "Network." My personal beef with the Academy involves "Brokeback Mountain" and its loss to the forgettable "Crash." But its not only films that win and lose awards. Back in 2001, "A Beautiful Mind" won Best Actress (Jennifer Connelly), Best Screenplay (Akiva Goldsman), Best Director (Ron Howard) and Best Picture. But the lead actor, Russell Crowe, got nothing. In fact, he ended up losing to Denzel Washington for "Training Day," the film that pretended that Washington was the lead instead of Ethan Hawke. What's the most egregious loss that you remember? »

Redford, Woodward and Bernstein to Discuss Collaboration on All the President's Men

11 September 2009 11:03 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Film buffs will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this weekend to hear Robert Redford, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward discuss their collaboration on the film, All the President's Men. The conversation will take place at the Bam Rose Cinema 3 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music as part of a 16-film tribute to Redford created by BAMcinematek, the repertory film program.

Will 'State of Play' Spark Interest in a Dying Profession?

16 April 2009 6:15 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Thirty years ago, a political crisis and two movie stars inspired thousands of young people to pursue a career in journalism. Now that the profession may be dying, is it foolish to hope that an economic crisis and three movie stars could revive interest?

Opening tomorrow, Kevin Macdonald's State of Play stars Russell Crowe as a world-weary reporter investigating a murder in which his old friend, politician Ben Affleck, may have been involved. Rachel McAdams also stars as an up-and-coming blogger. Obviously, that's a very different kind of movie than Alan Pakula's All the President's Men, which starred Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the Washington Post reporters who helped uncover the full extent of the Watergate conspiracy in the 1970s. In the wake of that movie, The Atlantic commented: "Today's generation of young Americans is flocking to journalism schools in unprecedented numbers »
