Learning From The Masters Of Cinema: Federico Fellini's IL BIDONE

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 02:00 AM PST

After the breakout success of his third feature, La Strada, many people hoped and expected Federico Fellini would deliver a sequel, continuing the onscreen adventures of Giulietta Masina's heroine Gelsomina (apparently even Walt Disney was a fan). However, despite the film winning a raft of awards around the world, including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Fellini had eyes on revisiting another of his earlier creations, his autobiographical protagonist from I, Vitelloni, Moraldo. But when those plans were scuppered, the Italian instead decided to develop a new idea, focusing on the lives of petty criminals and con artists, the likes of which he had encountered during the filming of La Strada. Il Bidone (or The Swindle) is less a strict narrative, but rather a...

GAME OF THRONES Season 4 Trailer Teases Like a Mother of Dragons

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:00 AM PST

HBO offers a Season 4 trailer of ominous pronouncements from many of the principle characters, and none more so than the Mother of Dragons, who intones: "They have a choice. They can live in my new world. Or die in their old one." Game of Thrones has always been violent towards its characters and I expect, as per the norm, that many of them will not make it to Season 5.  Things are really grinding towards a head here:  The Wildlings make their way south, and the Dragons and Freed Slave Army make their way north as Westeros remains in a state of civil war.  Another promise made here is that there will be continued efforts to examine the good and the bad in each of...

Golden Globes 2014: The Complete List Of Winners, Including 12 YEARS A SLAVE, AMERICAN HUSTLE, And BREAKING BAD

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 08:18 PM PST

Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave is the year's best drama picture and Alfonso Cuarón the best director (for Gravity), according to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. David O. Russell's American Hustle won big this year at the Golden Globes Awards by taking home three of the most important categories, including Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) and Best Actress (Comedy or Musical). No other picture won as many awards as American Hustle so, indeed, it was a varied ceremony though Dallas Buyers Club got two male acting awards thanks to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. The honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award was given to the living legend Woody Allen and his spectacular filmography. It was introduced by Emma Stone, who stars in Allen's upcoming Magic...

Ghibli Retrospective: THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 09:02 AM PST

Willem (age 10) and Miranda (age 9) put a capstone on their extended marathon of Studio Ghibli viewing. After taking both the heaviest Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, and the lightest entry, The Cat Returns, they end the 15 film marathon with The Secret World Of Arrietty. The 2010 film is one of the studio's most recent films, directed by Yonebayashi Hiromasa, vividly adapted by Miyazaki Hayao from Mary Norton's series of novels, The Borrowers. The kids talk about the eponymous heroine's relationship with her parents, the proximity of the 'tiny' family to the human 'beens' who live above them, as well as the all encompassing natural world which threatens to engulf them. Lastly, they marvel at the small-scale physics realized by the animation house...

Tarantino's New Western Is THE HATEFUL EIGHT

Posted: 12 Jan 2014 05:00 AM PST

Quentin Tarantino's new script is finished and it is called The Hateful Eight, as Deadline is reporting. Back in November 2013, Tarantino visited The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and revealed he was working on a new western but definitely not a sequel to Django Unchained. Now the 50-year-old writer/director has his first draft ready to share with a bunch of actors he wants on board for the project. The word is The Hateful Eight will mark the third collaboration between Tarantino and Christoph Waltz, after Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. Tarantino wrote Django's Dr. King Schultz specifically for Waltz and now it seems to be the exact same situation. The other actor that might be reading The Hateful Eight soon is Bruce Dern, who's...
