If you're playing a TV news drinking game wherein you and your dumb little buddies have to do a shot every time someone posts fake footage or film for a story , you might want to think about switching to Tang. Now MSNBC's Morning Meeting has been caught dipping their hand in the Photoshopping jar when they aired rather obvious fake photos of Sarah Palin while doing a diss-session on the former VP candidate...
The next episode of Bones, set to air on December 3rd, is to be called The Gamer in the Grease and appears to be jam packed full of Avatar product placement. There's a promo clip on Youtube, which you can see embedded below the break. The show airs on Fox which is, of course, a sister wing of Newscorp. to 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the film and I don't think we can blame them for wanting to...
Even though I didn't think this film was that good , I was completely set on fire by its cultural aspects. As I say in the review, The First Day of the Rest of Your Life is teeming with American cultural references. There are two sequences where characters quote from Hollywood films, but not in English, in French, from the dub. I am now almost a term into my MA in History of Film and Visual Media at...
It happens too often: a writer dies, and I’m reminded by the obituaries of books I meant to read but never did. Otto Friedrich’s City of Nets was a perfect example; I read all the reviews when that work came out in 1986, but it wasn’t until after Friedrich’s death in 1995 that I fell in love with his history of Hollywood in the 1940s. The part that interested me most were the...
Yesterday the 19th of November I was working as a grip on a short film called "later" which is Directed by Simon Duric. I don't normally work as a grip, I applied for the job of spark on this production but I have worked with the DOP Luke Bryant before as a grip, so he asked if I would mind gripping again for him on this production. Truth be told there was not much grip work to be done, we...
[Images: Mr Paparazzi / Big Pictures Words: Chloe Curran] Despite what you might already think its really tough being Suri Cruise, the 3-year-old is often forced to spend hours upon hours on various film sets while her parents are busy working hard. Take the other day as a prime example while Katie Holmes was filming her latest movie The New Romantics on Long Island, Suri was left in the capable hands...
Canada Water are a five-piece pop-punk outfit from Bournemouth. I'm aware that won't mean much to my American readers, so let me give you an overview. Sir John Betjeman once said that "Bournemouth is one of the few English towns one can safely call 'her'." And in 1952 I'm sure he meant a fair lady from a Hitchcock film, but nowadays I think she'e have grown old awfully quietly, still drinking...
I've been meaning to purchase and wear this t-shirt since I learned of its existence a couple of months ago, but I figured I'd better let the Twilight: New Moon hysteria die down first. It would appear, after all, that openly declaring one's hostility toward the Twilight franchise on one's person, even with a statement as unquestionably correct as "Vampires Don't Sparkle," is just asking...
The cast of New Moon trotted out for one more red carpet in NYC tonight. They all showed up to greet fans and press for a final special screening before the movie's official release tonight at midnight! Kristen rocked out in a green one shoulder dress to finish off her spectacular fashionable weeks - find out how to get New Moon star style here and take a look at the top five Twilight red carpet moments...
This just in: Tom Cruise still does his own stunts and Mary Hart still thinks it's goddamn amazing. Ever since Cruise's romantic action comedy changed its title from the serious-sounding Wichita to the jump-out-a-castle-windowish, Knight & Day, I don't think any of our readers have wondered, "How is that film going?" And even though the current title befits a high concept Matt LeBlanc...
I've been a huge supporter of The Flying Scotsman (Filmstalker review) since it was released, I loved that film, and it really touched me on a very personal level and struck me as a great Scottish film. It's just a shame that a lot of people who held purse strings for the film didn't think so. Still, it got made, got released and found a huge audience, and we're all glad of that for it's a superb film...
This is a little bit of nostalgia here, and nothing like a recent release, but it's a film that I think is one of the many that really could benefit from a remake, whereas so many of the Hollywood films that are remakes just now aren't needed or wanted, The Black Hole is one that could work. You can see from this extended trailer just how dated it looks, and if you've seen the film you know that even...
We must not let these propaganda films go unchallenged. We Must NOT be SILENT! Unity Productions, the co-producer of this documentary, at first look seemed to be the typical ‘progressive’, building-bridges liberals promoting Islam. However, after the screening, with a bit of research there were a few surprises. The New York screening on November 10, 2009, was at the Scholastic Auditorium...
November 19, 2009 So. Just off the top o' my head. Started to listen to Diane Riehms today on NPR and it was Julie Andrews and her daughter pushing latest book/collection of poems, etc. This is a particular pet peeve of mine, actually. I respect Julie Andrews' talent and career, but you're encroaching on my territory (books and writing) based on your known name. This annoys me. Whether it's Ilie Nastase...
LOS ANGELES – Sony thinks its new Michael Jackson documentary could be a contender for best picture. Spokesman Steve Elzer said Thursday that the studio will submit "Michael Jackson's This Is It" for Academy Awards consideration this year. It missed the deadline to be considered for a 2009 documentary Oscar, but the film about the late King of Pop's preparations for a series of comeback concerts will...
