Matthew Modine: Better Angels

By

Alex Simon

Matthew Modine has been something of an iconoclast most of his working life. After being groomed for ‘80s teen idol status in early films such as Private School and Vision Quest, Modine was also one of the first actors of his generation, along with Sean Penn, to take on riskier projects, such as Robert Altman's Streamers, Alan Parker’s Birdy, Gillian Armstrong’s Mrs. Soffel, and Alan J. Pakula’s Orphans. It was his lead role as the cynical Marine Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam epic Full Metal Jacket that put Modine into the pantheon of young actors who were more than just pretty faces and knowing winks at the camera. This, after all, was the young man who turned down the lead in Top Gun, arguably the prototypical ‘80s blockbuster, due to its cold war politics. From the beginning, »

Lawyer's 'Movie Quote' Strategy Fails in John Travolta Case

7 October 2009 6:45 AM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

The trial of two Bahamians accused of trying to extort $25 million from John Travolta took an unintentionally hilarious turn Tuesday when Travolta's beleaguered lawyer resorted to shouting lines from A Few Good Men. Michael McDermott couldn't weather an attack by a defense attorney who yelled, "I suggest, Mr. McDermott, that you sought to give birth to an extortion plot but it was stillborn," so he replied as any high-powered Hollywood attorney would: "And I suggest that you can't handle the truth!" The courtroom erupted into laughter; the judge, no doubt channeling Men's formidable Hon. Julius Alexander Randolph, quickly restored order. [Nydn] »

A Few Good Men In Travolta 'Extortion' Case

7 October 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

John Travolta's lawyer stunned a Bahamas courtroom by channelling Jack Nicholson as he took to the stand on Tuesday - shouting out the actor's famous "You can't handle the truth" catchphrase from A Few Good Men.

Michael McDermott was cross-examined by attorney Murrio Ducille, who is defending ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and former politician Pleasant Bridgewater against allegations they plotted to extort millions of dollars from Travolta.

The pair is accused of trying to blackmail the Grease star and his wife Kelly Preston for at least $20 million (£13.3 million) by threatening to release private documents surrounding the death of their son Jett.

On Monday jurors at the Nassau courthouse were shown video footage taken by McDermott in which he met with Lightbourne while Bridgewater was conferenced in on a phone's loudspeaker.

Under cross-examination, McDermott was accused by Ducille of trying to entrap his clients by filming their meeting.

The attorney said, "I suggest, Mr. McDermott, that you sought to give birth to an extortion plot but it was stillborn."

McDermott then drew gasps and laughter from several jurors by replying: "And I suggest that you can't handle the truth."

Lightbourne and Bridgewater deny extortion. The trial continues. »

Top 5 Movies That Scared the Hell Out of Me

3 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Ya’ know, since it’s Halloween coming up at the end of the month, I thought it would be appropriate to make a list of the top 5 movies that, for whatever reason, just scared the hell out of me. It may not be the entire movie, maybe it was just a particular scene/moment; they may not be the technically Best horror movies (they may not even be strictly “horror” per se.), but just something about them had me hiding behind the pillow, jumping at every noise, looking through the cracks in my fingers, thinking about it for days afterwards, and… changing my underwear — okay, too much information…

Before I get on with the list, just know that (like every list) this is purely opinion and therefore it obviously isn’t going to match Your list. If a movie that you find particularly scary isn’t on my list then »

Blu-ray Review: High Crimes

19 September 2009 4:10 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

“I want the truth.” “You can’t handle the truth.” Have you heard these words before? If so, then you’ve probably seen “A Few Good Men,” starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. And, if you liked “A Few Good Men,” you will probably enjoy “High Crimes,” starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, because “High Crimes” is almost a thematic carbon copy. In “High Crimes,” Tom (James Caviezel) and Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) are trying desperately to have a baby. When an explosion goes off in Union Square, Tom is taken into custody by military police. Claire, a top-notch lawyer, decides to sideline a potential promotion at her law firm to help her husband. Tom is accused of deserting the military, after he was accused of executing nine people on a mission. He claims that he didn’t commit the crime, and that he is being framed by an order »

[DVD Review] High Crimes

18 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

It’s not often you hear about a military legal thriller rocking the multiplexes and taking home a huge box office haul. Nor is it common to hear anyone make reference to a military legal thriller made after 1992 nevermind quote one. You know full well which military legal drama has the most going for it: A Few Good Men. Every film that’s followed in its genre footsteps since has felt like little more than a legal drama written by someone with an odd affinity for the peculiarities of military law. It’s not their fault – the Rob Reiner and Aaron Sorkin duo that made A Few Good Men such a quotable powerhouse has few if any rivals of similar ability. Courage Under Fire, which followed four years on the heels of the Reiner-Sorkin trendsetter, managed to muster a little bit of repute on its own, but proved to be »

DVD Review: State Of Play

17 September 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

So I was asked a few weeks ago if I’d like to review a DVD copy of State of Play, starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren and Robin Wright Penn and due for release on 21st September 2009. Having seen (and been blown away by) the film earlier this year, I could hardly pass up the opportunity now could I?

It’d be fair for me to start by saying that I’m not exactly what you might call a “Russell Crowe fan”, sure I’ll report on his films, and he is after all an A-list Hollywood star. But I feel he dragged down Gladiator and many other movies with his lack of on-screen personality. I’m sure that’ll get an angry email or two but we’re not a UK tabloid, and I’d prefer to tell the truth if possible.

That said, this »

“Buffy” Vs. “Torchwood”: Which Did a Better Job Killing Its Gay Character?

26 July 2009 9:24 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

They both did it: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Torchwood both killed off major characters in same-sex relationships – the former doing in the character of Tara Maclay, Willow’s girlfriend, toward the end of the sixth season, and the latter killing Ianto Jones in the recent Children of Earth miniseries.

But when it comes to ending the lives of major gay characters on television, Buffy did it well. Torchwood? Not so much.

First things first.

I’m not usually a fan of a show killing off any major character. Television is an intimate medium, one that is piped directly into your home. The negativity and trauma of a beloved TV character’s death can linger an unexpectedly long time.

That said, I understand that, dramatically, death is sometimes necessary, especially on shows like Buffy and Torchwood, where “danger” is a major element in every episode.

Brad Pitt's 'Moneyball' Rolling Again

10 July 2009 7:34 AM, PDT | www.actressarchives.com | See recent Actress Archives news »

Last month, "Moneyball," the biopic of Billy Beane based on Michael Lewis's acclaimed book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game," was put on hold after director Steven Soderbergh and Sony came to blows regarding the screenplay. According to Variety, Sony shot down the Academy Award-winning director's documentary-style interpretation of the script saying that it wasn't marketable enough. The future of the film, which was slated to begin shooting last month, was put in question, but it looks like the "Moneyball" has been set in motion once again. Aaron Sorkin, "The West Wing" and "A Few Good Men" writer, has been brought in to rewri ... »

Brad Pitt-Starrer "Moneyball" Keeps Rolling With Sony

10 July 2009 6:36 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Brad Pitt's "Moneyball" will still roll. Sony is going ahead with the project with the actor in a starring role, but drops Steven Soderbergh as director.

The film was set to begin production last month, but Columbia Pictures' Amy Pascal pulled the plug just days before it was supposed to start after Soderbergh turned in a new draft of the script that they didn't like.

But now, Variety reports that Sony is keeping the project, tapping Aaron Sorkin ("A Few Good Men" and "Charlie Wilson's War") to polish the script write written by Steve Zaillian.

Sorkin is expected to finish with the scrip by August.

Aaron Sorkin Joins Columbia’s Moneyball

9 July 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

Although acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbegrh is no longer attached to direct, Columbia’s Moneyball has found new life in writer Aaron Sorkin. The screenwriter, known for his TV credits including The West Wing and Sports Night, has signed on to rewrite the film. Brad Pitt is still attached to star. The original screenplay, which is based on Michael Lewis' nonfiction bestseller Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, was written by Oscar winner Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List). Soderbergh also wrote a draft, which is where the problems first arose. Production on Moneyball was set to start last month, but Columbia’s Amy Pascal wound up pulling the plug on the film just days before shooting was to begin when Soderbergh’s new version of the script wasn’t what the studio wanted to make. Soderbergh's draft and production plans took a more documentary approach that the studio felt »
