A subtle pic when it first appeared, the power of Robopud's "Ayyy!" hand gesture and GSR (Groin Shave Reveal), plus the Giggle Hottness of Mona and Kate, was too pungent an HCwDB combo, and took the Weekly. The voters speak: Wedgie: I gotta go with Robopud. GSR is an automatic vote getter in my book. Like Baggie a couple of weeks ago, the newest douchie maneuver tops all others in pushing...
Black Book (Zwartboek): One of those movies that the DVD case doesn’t do justice to. The plot feels like a cliche: Jewish girl in the Netherlands, separated from her family during World War 2, dyes her hair blonde and seduces a German officer to aid the Resistance. She finds herself torn between her [...]
A new TV documentary on sex in cinema will include clips of MAE WEST — — which makes perfect sense. • • Denver Post TV columnist Joanne Ostrow writes: Expect a spicy clip assemblage when Starz recounts the sexiest, most sex-obsessed, sexually boundary-breaking and sexually shocking movies of all time. • • From "Lolita" to "Caligula" to "American...
Once upon a time, Milla Jovovich was set to star in a movie called THE WINTER QUEEN, with director Paul Verhoeven helming the adaptation of the novel about a young woman in 1876 wrapped up in a mystery that involves the suicide of a young student and unravels into an international conspiracy. But that project was said to be dead in the water once Verhoeven walked before production even began. But...
Expect a spicy clip assemblage when Starz recounts the sexiest, most sex-obsessed, sexually boundary-breaking and sexually shocking movies of all time. From "Lolita" to "Caligula" to "American Beauty," the most memorable moments are all here.
I love a well-told story. That's why I really enjoyed a small film called Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party (hereafter abbreviated as STBP) which made the rounds at many film festivals a few years ago. The film features a series of short stories, as told by legendary character actor Stephen Tobolowsky on the anniversary of his birth. In his lifetime, Tobolowsky has had some pretty wild and crazy...
[T]he question I always ask when a science fiction epic of this calibre is director shopping: What is Paul Verhoeven up to? - Peter Kuplowsky on the news that Peter Berg is no longer to direct the upcoming remake of Dune.
Hollywood is still adamant about turning Frank Herbert's science fiction masterpiece Dune into a profitable franchise, but Peter Berg (The Rundown, The Kingdom) will no longer be in the director's chair. Berg was pegged director a few months ago and had been planning a less intellectual and political take on the series, considering the books to "be more of an adventure tale, more of a muscular...
Sharon Stone says she donned an Armani pantsuit and just a blouse with no bra underneath while auditioning for “Basic Instinct,” to prove she was okay with nudity. The 51-year-old star made the revelation before her Hamptons Film Festival fans at the Bay Theater in Sag Harbor. “After 12 actresses turned down the role, it was finally [...]
Ever since Antichrist debuted to jeers at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, we've been breathlessly awaiting the day that we'd get a chance to see it. Well, folks, now that director Lars von Trier has reviewed his reviews , we've counted down the ten most brutalized wangs in cinematic history , and we've warned you about the moments in the film when you should close your eyes , the rest is up...
James Cameron is a journalist's dream. The director actually says what's on his mind—and says it with foul-mouthed panache—rather than delivering the juiceless soundbites we're used to hearing from most folks in the entertainment biz. But the "Avatar" director can afford to be open, I suppose. He's free to speak his mind, seeing as how [...]
The New-Yorker recently ran a rather interesting piece on director James Cameron, the directorial force (of nature in some ways) behind the Aliens movies, Terminator and Terminator 2, Titanic and his latest work Avatar. The writer goes into depth describing not just the work he's done, but the man himself; it paints a rather interesting picture of a man who's both awesome, and just a smidgen on the...
Photograph by Martin Schoeller, via the New Yorker . This is how the New Yorker 's "Man of Extremes: The Return of James Cameron" begins: The director James Cameron is six feet two and fair, with paper-white hair and turbid blue-green eyes. He is a screamer—righteous, withering, aggrieved. “Do you want Paul Verhoeven to finish this motherfucker?” he shouted, an inch from...
From The New Yorker: “Do you want Paul Verhoeven to finish this motherfucker?” [James Cameron] shouted, an inch from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s face, after the actor went AWOL from the set of “True Lies,” a James Bond spoof that Cameron was shooting in Washington, D.C. Schwarzenegger had been giving the other actors a tour of the Capitol. [...]
