New DVDs 5-13-2008

... comedies: “Easy Living” (1937), from a script by Preston Sturges, and “Midnight,” from a script by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett. The transfers in both cases will strike the discerning souls who visit this space as excessively grainy, but it's always a cause for celebration when NBC-Universal chooses to release any of the 700 vintage Paramount titles under its corporate control....

Monday Movie Review: Ace in the Hole

... and construction chief to use a slower rescue method while a media circus gathers. Directed by Billy Wilder . This is a dark, cynical story of corruption and self-interest. It was honestly hard to watch, and yet it was compelling and I can't fault it in any way. None of the main characters are likeable, certainly not Douglas's Chuck Tatum, who is a son-of-a-bitch from the opening...

My buddy GayPatriotWest takes a look at the disturbing move these days towards filmmaking at the expense of good old-fashioned storytelling: Anyway, it struck me, especially given the most recent Academy Awards, that Hollywood seems more eager to reward filmmakers than to honor storytellers, those directors can show a human being on a journey, [...]

The Shaggy Dog - Disney's First Ever Live Action Comedy

... heels. One of his more unforgettable roles was that of Walter Neff, the insurance salesman in Billy Wilder’s 1944 classic Double Indemnity. By the early and mid 50’s, however, MacMurray had experienced a dearth of suitable roles. The Shaggy Dog was essentially, and reluctantly, his second wind. The success of the film catapulted MacMurray back into the limelight and led to his being...

Virtue's reward

Arts & CultureVirtue's rewardPublished 08 May 2008 Some viewers find Tarkovsky's films boring, but those who persist are, by definition, better people. Andrei Tarkovsky is, give or take Billy Wilder and Terrence Malick, my favourite film director. However, when watching his films, I want to get up and walk out of the cinema more often than with almost any other film-maker, give or take...

a tv series that ‘takes on the patriarchy'..

We know that single women were treated like prey (the show mercifully namechecks its obvious predecessor, Billy Wilder’s The Apartment, which came out in 1960 and made many of the same points through dark comedy)..

On Movies & Storytelling

... Fellini , I called them filmmakers, distinguishing them from the story-tellers I love (Kazan, Billy Wilder , Frank Capra and Stephen Spielberg to name a few). What these latter understood, I said, was that movies showed us all that is good in the world.

'Public Enemies' isn't the first film in Wisconsin

Wisconsin and the movies have had a long and fruitful relationship dating back to something called "The Truant Soul," in 1916, filmed in Richland Center. True, there was a bit of a dry stretch after that, until 1942 when Billy Wilder directed "The Major and the Minor" at St. John's Military Academy in Delafield, but Wisconsin films are about quality, not quantity.
