It’s been years since I’ve read the novel so I can only briefly comment on the quality of Tom Stoppard/Steven Spielberg’s adaptation. As I remember, J. G. Ballard does a pretty remarkable job of fixing the perspective on events almost exclusively from Jim’s POV. Spielberg’s skill as a filmmaker is that he’s able to replicate that to some extent, though bombastic...
talk on Jurassic Park 4 "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved" says Johnston. He adds that it won't be a storyline of people surviving a dinosaur attack on an island as "We've...
Twenty years ago, citizens of East Germany destroyed the Berlin Wall and set off a series of revolutions that demolished the totalitarian police states of Europe. Like me, you probably won't be able to fly to Berlin to commemorate the anniversary this week. Might I suggest a film, then, if you'd like to mark the date? If you haven't yet seen it, pick up or rent a copy of The Lives of Others , about...
Not sure how this fact escaped me before now, but the limited coverage of it might have something to do with it – I found out by chance when searching Oprha Winfrey on IMDb Pro. As most of you will no doubt know, Winfrey starred in The Color Purple, the 1985 Steven Spielberg film based [...]
Up to nine redundancies will be made at the Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire in a bid to alleviate its financial crisis The memorial and educational centre founded by non-Jewish brothers Stephen and James Smith 14 years ago needs to slash its annual budget from £800,000 to £500,000 and activities such as professional training could be axed. It intends to focus its resources on educating...
An old interview with Joe Johnston gives renewed hope to constantly postponed fourth outing for Jurassic Park IV. "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it's nothing like the first three," Johnston told the site. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to...
"I dream for a living" Steven Spielberg How would you like to attend the New York Cake Convention thanks to the wonderful people at the U.S. Confection Connection? That's right, I read it correctly, but sadly a contest I am not eligible for because I don't stay in the US or Canada. Still, anything with cake decoration, especially a theme based one gets me thinking, and a few mails exchanged...
October took it's toll worse than I thought. I have a folder FULL of old quotes I never posted. Let's clear that right out... As you all know, it takes me weeks, MONTHS , even years to get to commissions over email, and that makes me the worst person that has ever been born.... BUT!... If you catch me at a convention-Presto!-the commission appears right before your eyes! Just like David Copperfield,...

Even before Steven Spielberg's newly reformulated Dreamworks SKG makes its first film, his studio is moving for a third time – well, sort of. BusinessWeek has learned that the Dreamworks operation, headed by Spielberg and producing partner Stacey Snider, is...
Happy Birthday to Sally Field 63 today I like her, I really like her. Not sure what's next up, but lets hope Steven Spielberg gets his Lincoln film rolling as soon as possible so we can see Field back on the big screen as his supportive wife.
from the Daily Telegraph 10 The Bridge on the River Kwai The lavish production that launched Lean into the big league is grand, grown-up and full of eye-popping set pieces and moral complexity. 9 The Dirty Dozen Robert Aldrich, 1967 Real-life former marine Lee Marvin has to mould 12 convicted murderers into a crack unit to assassinate a slew of SS officers. Entertaining sparring leads to a dark climax....
With a tantalizing plot that evokes bone-chilling cosmic terror, The Fourth Kind is filled with promise. If only its director hadn't been so consumed with one-upping Steven Spielberg.
Over a year of go it looked like Steven Spielberg's favorite surrogate son, Mr. LaBeouf, was going to take on the lead role in The Illusionist director Neil Burger's adaptation of the novel Dark Fields, written by Alan Glynn, first published back in 2002. But today Relativity Media announced it will begin production on the thriller with Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) starring as Eddie, a down and out...
In the Steven Spielberg movie Minority Report (yes, I make some reference to it about once a week), there's a scene in which John Anderton (Tom Cruise's character) is walking through an urban retail center and his eye is getting scanned as he moves which is serving up custom greetings and deals from retailers. It's both creepy and cool. But that movie is set in 2054, we're not there yet. But AT&T...

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) –When DreamWorks announced in May that it planned to make a movie about Martin Luther King Jr., it took less than 24 hours for the prestige project to hit a speed bump. Two of King's children disputed a third's authority to speak for the estate, and soon enough King's own words came to mind: "All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face...
