DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Mm@M Season 1 Wrap Up
8 November 2009 6:10 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Right at this moment, you're either gearing up for the Season 3 finale of Mad Men, you're seasons behind on DVD, or you've never seen an episode. No matter your situation I hope you got something from this "Mad Men at the Movies" series which looked at the movies referenced on the series. We'll deal with seasons 2&3 later. As you read this I am at a fab Mad Men party.
The last two episodes of the season 1 have no movie love. But in "Nixon vs. Kennedy" the jaded Don Draper we know (Jon Hamm) flashes back to meeting the original Don Draper (Troy Ruptash) who is unimpressed with the then naive young man.
Don Draper to Don Draper: What misconception travelled down the road and made you want to be here... a movie?Deliciously dizzying it is. A television series that loves the movies disses the cinema's great capacity to lie »

Natalie Portman harmed herself after filming Heat
16 October 2009 12:24 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Natalie Portman cut herself as a teenager.
The 28-year-old actress has revealed playing a girl who died in 1995 gangster movie 'Heat' had a profound effect on her, resulting in her harming herself after an argument with her mother.
She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "Just as what you are feeling in your life affects your acting, what you act in definitely affects what you are feeling in your life.
"I made 'Heat' when I was 14 and played a girl who died. A year later, I got into a fight with my mother and cut myself. I had never done it before and I never did it after that, but I think having my wrists bloody in a movie definitely affected my psyche."
Natalie revealed acting has always scared her as she is constantly worried people won't find her performances believable.

New Book Argues To Reopen Natalie Wood Death Case
15 October 2009 3:36 PM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
By Tom Lisanti Twenty-eight years ago actress Natalie Wood drowned off the coast of Catalina when purportedly slipping off her yacht Splendour while trying to get into or trying to secure a dinghy after a fight with her husband Robert Wagner. After what the public presumed was a thorough investigation, the police have long closed the case after the La coroner ruled it an accidental drowning. However, in the new book Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour, co-written by the ship's skipper, new allegations are brought to life including shoddy police work leaving many unanswered questions. Natalie's sister Lana Wood (best known to movie fans as "Plenty O'Toole" in the James Bond adventure Diamond Are Forever) has joined the authors in demanding that the case be reopened.

Pierce Brosnan named one of the world’s best stepfathers (IrishCentral)
12 October 2009 8:55 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Firstwivesworld.com, a community for divorced women, has named the world’s best celebrity stepfathers, and none other than Irishman Pierce Brosnan tops the list. Divorce expert Jill Brooke dishes on who she thinks wins in the categories of best and worst stepfathers, and the Irish actor comes out head and shoulders above the rest. Brooke provides a rundown of Brosnan’s impeccable fatherly track record, saying: “He was a loving stepfather to his wife Cassandra’s children, Charlotte and Christopher. They also had a son together. When Cassandra died of ovarian cancer, Brosnan took the children as his own. Subsequently he has remarried and has two more sons, Paris and Dylan.” Also on the “good” stepfather list is Paul McCartney, who adopted his first wife Linda’s daughter Heather, and Robert Wagner, who raised Natalie Wood’s daughter Natasha after Wood died. As for the bad, thankfully no Irishmen made the list. »

Director Roman Polanski - Arrest background and news round-up
29 September 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | MovieSet.com | See recent MovieSet.com news »
Roman Polanski Arrest Backgrounder No doubt you’ve heard the rumblings and innuendo about acclaimed film director Roman Polanski’s arrest in Zurich Switzerland on Us charges of sex with a 13 year old girl stemming from a incident at Jack Nicholson’s house in the 1970s. It’s a touchy subject to discuss and for those who grew up in more recent times, a bit shocking.
Hollywood in the 1970s As I recall from my youth, the Hollywood of the 1970s were full of what seem like outlandish incidents to our hyper-sensitive reality-tv diluted eyes. Examples include Hogan’s Heroes star Bob Crane’s 1978 unseemly murder and subsequent uncovering of his sexual predilections, Natalie Wood somewhat mysterious accidental drowning while on a boat with Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken in 1981 and the Hollywood connections of the Charles Manson murders including Polanski’s pregnant wife Sharon Tate.

Sterling: I went last week with Mona and Margaret.
Joanie: I hear Shirley Maclaine is good.

1.9 "Shoot"
An ad man angles to steal Don Draper from his firm by courting his wife for a modelling gig.
Jim Hobart: Anyone ever tell you you're a dead ringer for Grace Kelly?
Betty Draper: They used to.
Jim Hobart: You know what? Coca-Cola is deep into this international campaign right now. A European face like yours, like Grace Kelly's, might be a road we could go down. We could put a call out for a Grace Kelly 'type' but I don't think we'd come this close... As compliments go, that's quite a doozy. Do you think January Jones heard that before Mad Men or is it all in that 50's princess styling?

Operator #2: Because he's not married.
Lois: He's in the art department? Well, what does he look like?
#1: Did you see that movie Marty with Ernest Borgnine? He lived with his mother.
#2: Stop teasing her. Marty, released in 1955, won Borgnine the Oscar for best actor but in this context it's a derogatory remark, »

Meteor (DVD Review)
10 September 2009 9:49 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
I am speechless. Literally. I can still write but I can’t speak after having just screened the Meteor DVD released by Rhi Entertainment. I almost don’t know whether to just list what went wrong here or to describe it. I will go with the later.
Meteor is not a new concept for a film. There was one made in 1979 with Natalie Wood, Sean Connery and Karl Malden. Of course the back stories were not the same but basically as you can figure out from the title: a meteor is headed for earth. I even remember something about Bruce Willis in one of these common Meteor movies – that is how familiar the whole concept is to me. Having written that, someone tell me why we needed another one? How can this have been a network miniseries? Who in their right mind would green light such a project? And think »

1.6 "Babylon"
Don Draper relaxes in bed with his wife's book "The Best of Everything". She joins him.
Don Draper: [sarcastically] This is fascinating.
Betty Draper: It's better than the Hollywood version.
Don: Certainly dirtier.
Betty: Joan Crawford is not what she was. And honestly, I found her eyebrows completely unnerving, like a couple of caterpillar's just pasted there. Her standing next to Suzy Parker... as if they were the same species.
Don: Well, some men like eyebrows. And all men like Joan Crawford. Salvatore couldn't stop talking about her.The Best of Everything (1959).
Like the Gidget reference, this last line is another wink to modern audience that Salvatore, Don's co-worker, is gay. These days who loves Joan Crawford more than the gays? Of course back »

"Your Girl is Lovely, Hubbell"
26 August 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Robert Redford is in the air. He hasn't dissolved into something atmospheric (stop being so literal!) but his name keeps turning up. Last week his two early sexually fluid performances opposite Natalie Wood (This Property is Condemned and Inside Daisy Clover) were playing here in New York and next month in Brooklyn Bam Cinema hosts a retrospective. It culminates on September 13th with four films and the Sundance Kid himself in person. For whatever reason they've narrowed down the final four to Redford as romantic figure, often paired with true giants among actresses.
On the last day they're screening...
Out of Africa (1985) The Best Picture winning bio in which Redford can't be tamed by Meryl Streep's author/heroine but gladly offers up shampoo and stud services.
The Natural (1984) this prestige pic is a mythic baseball drama. Redford and cast are bathed in Caleb Deschanel lensed sunshine and the lovely »

Mad Men at the Movies. In this series we've been covering movie references made on the 1960s show. Even if you don't watch, you're here because you love talking 'bout the movies. Previously we covered a telling Gidget reference, a throwaway Wizard of Oz bit and the scandal of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Episode 4 mentions an ad campaign that featured Hollywood's A-List actresses.
1.4 "New Amsterdam"
Young account executive Pete Campbell is at dinner with the rich in-laws. The father in-law has some unsolicited advice.
Tom: You've got to get that Lux soap campaign over to Sterling Cooper. Janet Leigh, Natalie Wood -- now, there's a day at the office. I'm telling you, you boys have got it made: Martini lunches, gorgeous women parading through. In my next life I'm coming back as an ad man.
Pete Campbell: Well, there's slightly more to it than that.
Tom: Yeah? Well, I'd keep that to yourself. »

Spotlight: Douglas Edwards - Musician + Composer
21 August 2009 11:12 PM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »
Today's spotlight is directed at Douglas Edward, who is both a musician and a composer. Doug's work can be listened to at CDbaby (follow individual links) where most of his scores are sold and showcase a wide variety of genres. Doug's most interesting release may be his collection of short film scores which feature inventive ensembles and still create an album that's a fluid listening experience despite featuring music from a dozen different projects! The following interview discusses most of Doug's credits up to this point with a special focus on overcoming budgetary constraints, criss-crossing genres and performing music in addition to writing it.
How did you discover music for yourself?
I started taking piano lessons in the 3rd grade soon after we moved back to the United States from Germany. I enjoyed playing music, and I especially liked messing around on the piano for hours at a time. In »

Yesterday's Angel: Natalie Wood at The Film Society of Lincoln Center Through August 25, celebrate the life and career of timeless actress and breathtaking beauty Natalie Wood this week at The Film Society of Lincoln Center. Although the Hollywood sweetheart began as a child actor (in precious classics like Miracle on 34th Street), she easily transitioned into a movie star opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), where she received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Wood continued her success for many years, starring in the musicals West Side Story (1961) and Gypsy (1962). Before her tragic death at the age of 43, Wood appeared in over 50 films, received multiple Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, and worked with some of cinema's finest performers and directorial talents.
