UNDER THE RAINBOW is the infamous Chevy Chase / Carrie Fisher / Billy Barty 1981 comedy about the little people who were starring in WIZARD OF OZ . The film, directed by Steve Rash who would later direct CAN'T BUY ME LOVE , was a fixture on cable in the very early days. However, I don't think it has aired since 1985. It was like the studio realized that it was in very poor taste and hid it away. I...

In an L.A. Times review of the new Robert Altman biography, Richard Schickel went on an attack on Altman and his films. He writes of Altman: "When he was not drinking heavily, he was smoking dope -- often doing both simultaneously" He writes of the author Mitchel Zuckoff, "Zuckoff basically knows nothing about filmmaking and film history" So, it wasn't a positive review. The L.A....

Earlier today L.A. Times columnist Patrick Goldstein posted the Rudolph letter and laid into Schickel also. "The power of a major artist is that he or she is a force, standard, guide,"...

One of the principal characters in Alan Rudolph's whimsically inspired romantic farce "Choose Me," now approaching its 25th anniversary, would appear to be clinically crazy: Keith Carradine's amorous drifter Mickey, first encountered strolling away from confinement in a "mental home" and subsequently embellished with a resume that suggests a parody of the International Man of Mystery....

Morvern Callar - dir. Lynne Ramsay Approaching a novel deemed "unfilmable" by both the literary and cinematic community can be the greatest challenge for a filmmaker, a make-or-break endeavor that's worked for some (Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange ) and failed for twice as many (Alan Rudolph's Breakfast of Champions , Tom Tykwer's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer ). Alan Warner's 1995...
