Princess Charlene is going Bond!
In honor of Monaco’s 75th Grand Prix, held last weekend, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene took part in a special tribute, a brief 7-minute video, boasting all the romance and glamour of a Bond film.
With Charlene (who stuns in a chic halter top and glamorous shades!) arriving by boat and Albert in a helicopter, the couple joined past Monaco Grand Prix winners David Coulthard and Mark Weber at the Monaco Yacht Club. There, in a rare and captivating glimpse, the relaxed royal couple shared memories of the world’s most prestigious auto race...

Is there a Joker curse? Beyond The Joker:The Man Who Laughs attempts to answer this question by examining the clown as an archetype throughout history. The story starts out by detailing Heath Ledger’s experience during the shooting of The Dark Knight up to his tragic death after the film wrapped. The book then jumps to 1802 the year that Joseph Grimaldi created the familiar white-face look that we still associate with clowns today. Grimaldi it seems was the prototypical “sad clown” hiding his tears behind a smile and eventually a bottle. The story makes it’s way to John Wayne Gacy the serial killer who famously worked as a clown when he...

Directors: Frank Simon, Roman Polanski; Starring: Jackie Stewart, Roman Polanski, Helen Stewart; Running time: 93 mins; Certificate: PG
Sir Jackie Stewart's son Mark described Roman Polanski's long-forgotten documentary Weekend of a Champion as a "time capsule" during a special screening at the London Film Festival, and for anyone fascinated by the history of motorsport, he's right. Made in between Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown, Polanski and his fellow filmmakers were granted unparalleled access to film Stewart at the 1971 Monaco grand prix, one of motor racing's classic events.
Nobody would be able to make this kind of documentary at a grand prix in today's age of watertight commercial rights, and for that reason alone it's worth watching.
Polanski follows Stewart around almost constantly for the duration of the weekend, exploring the Monte Carlo street circuit with him in a road car. His film crew has access to Stewart's Tyrrell racing car...

The racing is superb as is Daniel Brühl's performance but the film is undermined by clunky dialogue and fundamental untruths
It was Jackie Stewart who gave the old Nürburgring a nickname: the Green Hell. He hated the 14-mile circuit in the Eifel mountains. But that wasn't good enough for Peter Morgan. When the writer of Frost/Nixon and The Queen came to create his screenplay for Rush, the new film about the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, a more dramatic introduction was needed for the location of Lauda's terrible crash in 1976.
"In Formula One," a TV commentator announces in the film, setting the scene for the near-fatal weekend, "it is known as the Graveyard."
Well, no, it isn't. And it wasn't, even in 1976. Yes, five drivers died there during grand prix meetings. A terrible toll, of course. But at Monza, to take just one example, the equivalent...

The best and worst racing to grace the silver screen
Grand Prix 1966
As if Eva Marie Saint were not enough of a draw, there are cameos from Graham Hill and Jim Clark in this John Frankenheimer epic, whose fictional racers are utterly believable.
Le Mans 1971
Steve McQueen's labour of love, co-starring a host of European actors, gave cinema its best-ever footage of racing cars in action and a great opening sequence of the circuit coming to life on race morning.
Senna 2010
The movie that even Formula One-phobes raved about, a Bafta winner, inexplicably failing to be shortlisted for best documentary at this year's Oscars.
TT3D 2011
Forget kids' films about bugs, this is the subject that 3D cinema was made for. As if the legendary Isle of Man race were not scary enough.
Days of Thunder 1990
With its cheesy love story, the only thing Tony Scott's turkey got...

Fox is planning to adapt The Magicians into a series for television. What caught my interest, since so many scripts get picked up this time of year, was that Michael London is producing, and he was heavily involved in Milk. Anyone read the books?
During the premiere week for The Rosie Show, Rosie will be flying the entire cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to Chicago to perform a medley.
Is the next James Bond movie going to be called Skyfall?
Sarah Palin will not be running for president in 2012. In possibly related news, Fox News president Roger Ailes says "I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings."
E! is starting a new modeling show called Scouted, and it sounds slightly interesting. This isn't about people who want to be models – they're heading into cities around the country and plucking the hot waitress or barista, giving them a fast makeover,...

Last Saturday night I attended the L.A. double-feature screening of The French Connection and To Live And Die In L.A hosted by the man himself, legendary director William Friedkin. Presented by American Cinematheque, it was as you might expect, a sold-out event at the four-hundred-seat Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California.
This being the fortieth anniversary of the Academy Award-winning The French Connection, it was nice to see it up on the big screen again, with a newly struck pristine print. After the showing, William Friedkin was introduced to the audience, many members of which were not even born when it first came out in 1971. Still, they were just as mesmorized by the film as the older hard-core fans were. Friedkin was introduced… and right from the start, the seventy five year-old director owned the room, as they say in show business. Never one to be accused of being boring,...

Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none
Last Sunday night I had the pleasure of attending The Big Picture- A Celebration of 75 Years of 20th Century Fox at the famed Hollywood Bowl. Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne did the honors, introducing us to various clips from Fox’s great library. The La Philharmonic conductor David Newman, son of the legendary music composer Alfred Newman and a noted composer himself, re-lived the magic of the great Fox film scores, delighting the 15,000 or so fans that attended the two-hour event. There were plenty of screens constructed to allow the audience to enjoy the film segments, though each clip was badly cued with a blank screen and an anxious orchestra was forced to poise for an anxious 30 seconds in between scenes. I thought the opening well-edited montage of some 175 movie clips was by far the best part of the evening.

I'd just like to voice my disappointment that you chose to publish Graham Hill's "review" of Executive Action on your otherwise informative and entertaining site. I put "review" in quotes because the article was more to do with the writer's beliefs in real life conspiracy theories than with the merits of the film itself. I won't list my specific problems (and there are many) with the article as I'm already corresponding via email with Mr. Hill himself. Others have recently complained about the recent trend in writers on the site adding their own political commentary to the subject matter the site is ostensibly devoted to. The irony is that more often than not I agree with a lot of the commentary and have even enjoyed reading a lot of it, but that is sort of beside the point. I object to it in principle simply because it has nothing...
