Cinematical has a list of ideas for making movies based on classic 20th century TV shows. A couple of these I’d never seen, but I definitely remember tuning in to see Martin Landau and company fight to survive each week on Moonbase Alpha (Space:1999, pictured).

When Martin Landau won the Oscar for best supporting actor in Tim Burton's silly, celebratory and sentimental Ed Wood, he freely acknowledged it as a tribute to one of Tinseltown's own, the character he was playing -- Bela Lugosi. Hollywood...

I haven't been a fan of Hollywood's "Let's Remake Everything That Was Ever Popular!" plan, but I was pleasantly surprised by the reboots and reincarnations of Doctor Who , Battlestar Galactica , and even J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie, which is out on Blu-ray and DVD today. I'd argue that maybe science fiction is immune to the remake syndrome, but then you have Michael Bay's two awful...

Recommended Though it outlasted every '60s espionage series on both sides of the Atlantic, toward the end the rigidly structured Mission: Impossible had seemingly exhausted every conceivable plotline. The incredible innovativeness of the first few years had given way to complacency, with mechanical (if Byzantine) plots and unambitious (if tensely-paced) storytelling. Though star Steven Hill's departure...

NORTH BY NORTHWEST is a suspense thriller that finds Cary Grant in the role of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan advertising executive mistaken for a spy. Considered by many to be the prototypical pure action movie (creating the template for later James Bond and Indiana Jones films), the film is a cross-country roller-coaster ride with Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. The film is duly famous for several classic...

Up Activity In the US : The life-affirming news this week is that, on wide release, the low-budget Paranormal Activity leaps to #1 ahead of new release SAW VI thanks to excellent word-of-mouth, making $21m to Saw's $14m. This is the first time an entry in the Saw series has failed to make #1, and make less than $30m in its first week of release. The other two releases this week, superhero animation...

'Unless it was a great part, which it probably isn't, it would probably be a cameo, a little joke, that wouldn't interest me at all,' says the actor who plays Rollin Hand in the original series.

Abrams took on directing duties for "Mission: Impossible III," he tried to get Martin Landau – who played super-spy Rollin Hand in the original '60s TV series – to take on a cameo role in the movie. "[J]ust for fun," the director said recently, "and [I] was told that he had no interest [...]

POST - APOCALYPTIC cinema is riding high at the moment off the back of films such as Zombieland, I Am Legend, Terminator Salvation and the forthcoming 2012 and The Road . Even Pixar got in on the act with Wall-E … so it’s hardly surprising to find another entry into the genre with 9 . What is surprising, however, is just how good Shane Acker’s film is. Visually, it’s a match...

Screenwriter Ernest Lehman has stated that, in writing NORTH BY NORTHWEST, his intention was to create "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures". Well, he succeeded. This may very well be the ultimate Hitchcock film. It takes all of the elements that make up one of his films, from the innocent man in the wrong place at the wrong time, to the elaborate suspense filled set pieces,...
