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. »

Ask the Flying Monkey! (May 27, 2009)

26 May 2009 5:16 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)

Q: So Gregory Michael, who plays gay on Dante’s Cove, is now playing Calvin’s love interest on Greek. So what gives? Gay guy or just a really cool straight one? – Jason, Milwaukee, Wi

A: A really cool straight one.

“I didn't have any reservations about it being gay or what kind of character it was,” Gregory tells AfterElton.com. “Just, ‘It's another role – are you ready to do it?’ You look at everything. I just got back from the holidays [when I did it]. Did I eat too much? Am I going to look good? You look at those things, not, ‘Oh, I'm doing another gay role.’”

Gregory Michael

Interestingly, Gregory didn’t even consider the aspect of doing two prominent gay roles until his manager said to him, "You know you're doing another gay role. »

The Best Films You’Ve Never Seen – James Napoli’s rental of the week -- This week: Broadway Danny Rose (1984)

16 May 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Written by James Napoli This Week: Broadway Danny Rose (1984) – Woody Allen’s marvelous tribute to everything he has ever liked reminds us of what we like about him. You might think a Woody Allen film is an unlikely pick for a movie you’re supposed to never have seen. Surely, one of the most prolific filmmakers of his generation doesn’t belong in a column about forgotten masterpieces. Maybe so. But it’s well-known that the Wood-man’s movies do not traditionally set the box office on fire, and, in fact, a lot of his post-Manhattan 1980’s work could fall under the heading of underappreciated gems, like Another Woman, Alice, Zelig and The Purple Rose of Cairo. It’s hard to argue against Hannah and Her Sisters and Crimes and Misdemeanors being Allen’s most accomplished works of that decade, but many of the “smaller” titles ... »

Zelig Part II ?

13 March 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- Unlike Woody Allen's fictional character, the one that actor Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line) is playing in his latest role, can't seem to go incognito. Adding to his countless public follies, yesterday's stage(d) dive in public is either the best way to go about hiring extras for crowd scenes or is a great social experiment on "celebrity" (another Allen-titled film) and fame being lived out in the public eye (I draw many comparisons to the the Kevin Federline phenomena). If Casey Affleck processes the material to come up with a mockumentary or some celeb-experimental film, either way at this stage of the game I'm in.      ... »

Don’t Call it a Comeback -- Dellamorte reviews Vicky Christina Barcelona

20 January 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Woody Allen has been making films for forty years now. Forty years, with forty feature length films to his credit if you include What’s Up Tiger Lily? That’s a lot of movies. And it’s understandable that if he makes some bad movies (which he has throughout his career) and then makes a great film (which he’s made a ton of). It’s Woody, so let’s say Sleeper, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Zelig, The Purple Rose of Cario, Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Husbands and Wives, Bullets Over Broadway, Deconstructing Harry, Match Point. Twelve great films. And that’s not including his merely good films. As a batting average that’s pretty great. So add another one to the fire, because Vicky Cristina Barcelona is one of his great ones. Rebecca Hall plays Vicky, Scarlet Johansson plays Cristina. Vicky is about to »
