As a kid growing up in the 1980’s, I was exposed to most of the popular films of the decade–at least the ones I was allowed to watch. When Joe Valdez first posted notice of The Class of ‘84 Blogathon, I quickly thought of all the movies I grew up on. I was surprised to [...]
The first time I had a cable feed delivered to my home (a condominium in Stamford, Connecticut), the thing I enjoyed most was the Headline News channel run by CNN. This was before HBO offerings were particularly interesting; and, while “A&E” still stood for “arts and entertainment,” the arts programming [...]
Oscar-winning editor Anne V. Coates will discuss her esteemed, ongoing career at the academy tonight. Anne V. Coates' uncle, famed British movie producer J. Arthur Rank ("The Red Shoes"), wasn't thrilled when he learned she wanted to join the family business as an editor. But she had discovered the magical power of cinema when she saw William Wyler's 1939 classic version of "Wuthering...
The Antarctic murder mystery Whiteout was a wipe-out this weekend, with almost universally negative reviews and a sixth-place debut at the box office. The movie's lousy -- here's Cinematical 's scathing report , courtesy of Peter Hall -- but by most accounts the graphic novel it's based on, written by Greg Rucka and drawn by Steve Lieber, is pretty good. In conjunction with that, Portland film critic...
The word is overused, but I can’t think of a better one to describe this coming week. Okay, backstory: ten years ago my husband Steve Lieber illustrated a graphic novel called Whiteout , written by Greg Rucka .

A quick plug here for the longtime German band MacBeth , this morning your humble narrtor loaded up their Gotteskrieger album on the rickety old CD grinder and with headphones in situ I literally ramped up the sound to 11. This is a fine fusion of thrash metal and old school metal that serves to make the nerves tingle leaving the listener sitting up begging for more. For your humble narrator has a...

Where has he been hiding? Wolfgang Petersen, the other German action movie director (not Roland Emmerich), hasn't directed anything since Poseidon back in 2006. He's attached to an alien movie called Uprising at Sony, but there hasn't been any movement on that for a while (as far as I know). Moviehole is reporting (without many details at all) that Petersen is attached to direct a live-action version...
Wolfgang Petersen's been pretty quiet since his 2005 disaster flick POSEIDON under-performed at the Box-Office, so like many of his fellow filmmakers he's turning to the land of the rising sun for inspiration. According to the folks of Moviehole, the veteran director is circling a live-action adaptation of the 1993 Japanese novel PAPRIKA, which has already spawned a manga and inevitable animated film...
