  • Check Out This Shining-Inspired Film Ink Ad

    Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece The Shining continues to influence pop culture on a regular basis, and an ad from Australian film magazine Film Ink is the latest example.

    The hype around the documentary Room 237 has no doubt played a role in much of the recent interest in the film, but The Shining will continue to inspire countless pieces of Internet fun for years to come, without a doubt.

    With the new Film Ink ad, we can’t help but be reminded of this Channel 4 ad for The Stanley Kubrick Season from a few years back:

  • Roger Ebert’s Site Gets a Major Redesign, Will Continue to Feature Reviews from Contributors

    If you’re like me, RogerEbert.com was a frequent stop on your internet browsing schedule. Every Friday morning (or Thursday night, occasionally), I would visit Ebert’s site to find out what he had to say about all the newly released films of the week. I, like many others, was greatly influenced by not only Ebert’s film reviews, but by his blogging and various other essay on politics, religion, and life in general.

    Well, apparently Ebert and his wife Chaz worked to make sure that “was” remains “is.” They tapped a digital strategist to help ensure that the site, visited by millions, would remain a top destination for those hungry for film critique and discussion. And that new site is now live.

    “Roger wanted to bridge film criticism and the community of fans like never before,” Chaz Ebert said. “The new site enlists many more critics, reviewing many more movies, displayed side-by-side with the most comprehensive collection of Roger’s Pulitzer Prize-winning content online.”

    You may have noticed that the site has gone through a transformation since Ebert’s death earlier this month. And quite frankly, it’s a huge improvement. The old rogerebert.com was one of the best online resources for film lovers, but it wasn’t very easy on the eyes. The new site is cleaner and more visually impressive.

    The new content will be powered by a network of contributors – nearly 20 listed on the site. They’ll provide the week’s reviews.

    “The site focuses on three things: criticism, commentary and community,” said site designer Josh Golden. “Everything is aggregated in one place. It’s both library and playground for serious film buffs, but it’s easy to navigate for people who are just looking for a good movie.”

    And of course, all of Ebert’s reviews and Great Movies essays are accessible on the site.

    The plan is to keep people coming to the site for their reviews, even though Ebert has passed on. By the looks of things, they’ve got things going in the right direction.

  • Clive Barker Shares Rare Set Pics From Nightbreed On Facebook

    Author/artist/director Clive Barker, who wrote and directed the cult classic Nightbreed (based on his own book, Cabal), has been sharing some rare behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the film on his Facebook Page. Others have posted them, and he (or whoever updates his page, at least) has shared them with his fan base.

  • Meryl Streep Shares Thoughts On ‘Iron Lady’ Margaret Thatcher

    Meryl Streep Shares Thoughts On ‘Iron Lady’ Margaret Thatcher

    Meryl Streep issued a statement to the press today sharing her thoughts on the late Margaret Thatcher. Streep played Thatcher in the film “The Iron Lady,” directed by Phyllida Lloyd. Streep won an academy award for the role.

    Here’s what she had to say about Thatcher (via The Washington Post):

    “Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.

    It is hard to imagine a part of our current history that has not been affected by measures she put forward in the UK at the end of the 20th century. Her hard-nosed fiscal measures took a toll on the poor, and her hands-off approach to financial regulation led to great wealth for others. There is an argument that her steadfast, almost emotional loyalty to the pound sterling has helped the UK weather the storms of European monetary uncertainty.

    But to me she was a figure of awe for her personal strength and grit. To have come up, legitimately, through the ranks of the British political system, class bound and gender phobic as it was, in the time that she did and the way that she did, was a formidable achievement. To have won it, not because she inherited position as the daughter of a great man, or the widow of an important man, but by dint of her own striving. To have withstood the special hatred and ridicule, unprecedented in my opinion, leveled in our time at a public figure who was not a mass murderer; and to have managed to keep her convictions attached to fervent ideals and ideas- wrongheaded or misguided as we might see them now-without corruption- I see that as evidence of some kind of greatness, worthy for the argument of history to settle. To have given women and girls around the world reason to supplant fantasies of being princesses with a different dream: the real-life option of leading their nation; this was groundbreaking and admirable.

    I was honored to try to imagine her late life journey, after power; but I have only a glancing understanding of what her many struggles were, and how she managed to sail through to the other side. I wish to convey my respectful condolences to her family and many friends.”

  • Roger Ebert’s Last Review Is Now Online

    Just a few days after his death at the age of 70, the Chicago Sun Times has posted legendary film critic Roger Ebert’s final review. It’s now online and available at rogerebert.com.

    Ebert’s final review turns of to be To the Wonder, the latest feature from director Terrence Malick. To the Wonder stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, and Javier Bardem, and is slated for an April 12th release.

    Ebert enjoyed the film, giving it a positive review and 3 and 1/2 stars.

    Here’s a snippet of the review, which is classic Ebert through and through:

    A more conventional film would have assigned a plot to these characters and made their motivations more clear. Malick, who is surely one of the most romantic and spiritual of filmmakers, appears almost naked here before his audience, a man not able to conceal the depth of his vision.

    “Well,” I asked myself, “why not?” Why must a film explain everything? Why must every motivation be spelled out? Aren’t many films fundamentally the same film, with only the specifics changed? Aren’t many of them telling the same story? Seeking perfection, we see what our dreams and hopes might look like. We realize they come as a gift through no power of our own, and if we lose them, isn’t that almost worse than never having had them in the first place?

    There will be many who find “To the Wonder” elusive and too effervescent. They’ll be dissatisfied by a film that would rather evoke than supply. I understand that, and I think Terrence Malick does, too. But here he has attempted to reach more deeply than that: to reach beneath the surface, and find the soul in need.

    Ebert has been kind to Malick’s films in the past. He loved his last film, The Tree of Life, awarding it four stars. He also enjoyed 2005’s The New World and 1999’s The Thin Red Line, giving those films four and three stars, respectively.

    For another great Ebert review, check out his “Great Movies” essay on Malick’s 1978 classic Days of Heaven.

    Over on rogerebert.com, you can also find some select remembrances of Ebert, along with a statement from his wife Chaz. Plus, an archive of all of his reviews – most of which (especially the Great Movies essays) are essential reading for anyone who’s serious about the movies.

  • Room 237 Director Loses His Voice On Opening Weekend

    The much talked about Room 237 opens this weekend, and Rodney Ascher, who directed the documentary about Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and the theories about hidden contexts within, has lost his voice. How’s that for timing?

    Ascher tweeted this afternoon:

    Reviews of the film have been quite positive for the most part .There has been some criticism (including from Kubrick’s assistant) about some of the themes discussed in the film, but people seem to find them quite interesting anyway. Here’s a snippet from a New York Times review:

    That makes the theories fair game for a sober assessment. And who better to provide one than Leon Vitali, who is listed in the closing credits of “The Shining” as personal assistant to the director? Mr. Vitali had an acting role in Kubrick’s 1975 movie “Barry Lyndon,” went to work for him soon after and remained on his payroll for decades. Mr. Vitali’s first task as an assistant was to fly to the United States to cast the role of Danny, the child of Jack (Jack Nicholson) and Wendy Torrance (Shelley Duvall). He was present during the 13-month filming at sound stages near London, and throughout postproduction.

    Mr. Vitali, 64, is a Briton who now lives in Los Angeles, where he works on his own and other film projects. He was recently sent an advance copy of “Room 237,” and not surprisingly it elicited a strong response.

    “I was falling about laughing most of the time,” he said by telephone. “There are ideas espoused in the movie that I know to be total balderdash.”

    The film currently has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Shining itself only has a 90%.

  • Richard Griffiths Dies After Heart Surgery Complications

    Actor Richard Griffiths has passed away at the age of 65 following complications from heart surgery, according to multiple reports, including this one from the BBC.

    Griffiths appeared in numerous films, plays and television shows over the years, but for a lot of people will always be known best as Uncle Vernon Dursley from the Harry Potter films. For me personally, I think I’ll always remember him best as Dr. Albert S. Meinheimer in The Naked Gun 2 1/2 (I it watched a bunch of times when I was a kid for some reason).

    Here’s Griffiths and Harry Potter co-star Danielle Radcliffe discussing their roles:

    The Independent shares a statement form Radcliffe:

    “Any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence. I am proud to say I knew him.”

    Other film credits include: Superman II, Chariots of Fire, Gandhi, Gorky Park, King Ralph, Guarding Tess, Sleepy Hollow, The HItchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Hugo.

    Griffiths reportedly died at University Hospital Coventry.

  • Criterion Collection on Hulu Opens Up 800+ Classic Films for Free This Weekend

    Criterion Collection on Hulu Opens Up 800+ Classic Films for Free This Weekend

    If you’re a film lover and want to spend the weekend holed up watching the best of Jean-Luc Godard, Ingmar Bergman, Francois Truffaut, Kurosawa, Chaplin, and more – Criterion and Hulu have an offer for you.

    Starting today and continuing through the weekend, all Criterion films on Hulu will be free to all – even those who are not subscribed to Hulu Plus.

    Normally, Criterion films are only able to be streamed by Hulu Plus members. In that case, they’re ad-free. In this free-stream weekend, you’ll have to put up with a few ads throughout the film. But it’s a fairly small price to pay to have access to nearly a thousand classic films.

    The Criterion Collection first appeared on Hulu back in February 2011. As of today, there are over 800 different films to stream from Criterion on Hulu, making it one of the most-impressive collection of classic and often hard-to-find films around.

    You can start browsing Criterion films on Hulu here.

  • Mobile, Social Media Becoming Increasingly Important To Moviegoers

    Are you the kind of person who uses their mobile device during a movie? If so, shame on you. That being said, you’re not alone as new research has found that most moviegoers use some kind of mobile device to augment the experience.

    In Nielsen’s 2012 American Moviegoing report, the group found that mobile moviegoers “spend more, consume more content and are more actively engaged in the moviegoing process.” The report found that the moviegoers are increasingly moving to mobile with 69 percent of moviegoers owning a smartphone and 29 percent owning a tablet. It also found that mobile device owners see more movies with smartphone owners seeing nine percent more movies, and tablet owners seeing 20 percent more movies last year compared to their non-mobile device owning contemporaries.

    Outside of the theater, tablet owners are the biggest film consumers. The report says that they watched 47 movies on average last year, 10 more than the average moviegoer. Tablet owners are also more likely to spend more, and buy their tickets online.

    Movie Consumers Are Increasingly Going Mobile

    Being closely tied to mobile, social media’s impact on the moviegoer experience can not be ignored either. Nielsen’s report found that that the 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 age ranges used social media the most to discuss films. The overall moviegoer population is seeing increases in social media use as well.

    Mobile Device Owners Watch More Movies, Spend More Too

    From a certain point of view, this is great news for marketers who can take advantage of new advertising venues on mobile to reach a larger audience. I just ask that you turn off your phone during the movie. The annoying warning before the movie starts is there for a reason.

  • The Pirate Bay Documentary Now Available Via Paid Download, Free Download And YouTube

    We brought you word last month that The Pirate Bay documentary – TPB AFK – would be launching sometime in early 2013. That day has finally come, and the film is now available to all those who want an inside look at the origins and continued operations of the most notorious site on the Internet.

    The really interesting thing about TPB AFK is that the filmmakers are not only releasing the film for $10, but also releasing it for free via The Pirate Bay. It’s not like the filmmakers don’t want people to buy their film though. Instead, releasing the film for free ensures that more people watch it. Those viewers may even end up buying it if they like it.

    So, how’s that going for them so far? In less than an hour, the $10 film has earned $21,641 according to the Web site. The majority of that has come from the 1,826 paid downloads thus far, but others have just contributed to the film through donations. The filmmakers are also selling pre-orders of the DVD for $23.

    Of course, you may not want to pay $10 just yet to support a film you may not like. You also may not like the idea of downloading it via The Pirate Bay. For you, the filmmakers have also released it on YouTube in its entirety. Check it out:

  • Ashton Kutcher: Diet Like Steve Jobs’ Put Me In Hospital

    Actor Ashton Kutcher, who plays the role of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the film jOBS, told reporters after the film’s Sundance premiere, that he was hospitalized for two days before the movie started shooting. He reportedly said (via TV Guide) that he had adopted the “fruitarian diet” that Jobs was known to have lived on (as documented in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs), and that it led to him spending two days in the hospital.

    Last week, the first clip from the film hit the web. In case you missed it, you can see it again here. It features Kutcher and co-star Josh Gad, who plays Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, discussing Wozniak’s operating system, planting the seeds (pun semi-intended) for what would become Apple.

    It should be noted that the real Wozniak has already made comments about the scene saying it didn’t happen that way, but it is, after all, a movie.

    The film itself has received mixed reviews so far, but that’s to be expected from any film, let alone any film documenting the life of the controversial Steve Jobs.

    Kutcher and Gad are set to appear at MacWorld/iWorld this week to talk about their experiences playing Jobs and Wozniak respectively. My guess is that we’ll hear more about Kutcher’s diet and hospitalization when that happens. They’ll speak on the main stage on Thursday.

    jOBS hits theaters on April 19.

  • First Clip From jOBS Hits The Web [Video]

    Entertainment Tonight has posted the first clip we’ve seen from the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic jOBS, starring Ashton Kutcher and Josh Gad as Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The clip features the duo in a scene talking about Wozniak’s operating system.

    Kutcher and Gad will appear at Macworld/iWorld next week to talk about their experiences playing the roles of Apple’s co-founders.

    The film also got an official release date this week: April 19.

  • ‘Terms And Conditions May Apply’ Documentary Explores Google, Facebook Privacy

    Often, when major Internet companies make product changes or announce new offerings, people wonder what that means for their privacy. One example in which we’re currently seeing this is with Facebook’s new Graph Search. Google and Facebook in particular have had to answer to the FTC with regards to privacy issues in the past, and both have to undergo regular third-party audits to make sure they remain in compliance.

    Facebook is always making changes to its policies, it seems, and Google launched a major overhaul of its privacy policy last year, enabling it to share data from one product to the next. This continues to draw controversy in some places.

    A new documentary called Terms And Conditions May Apply just premiered at Sundance, which takes a deep look into how our use of Google, Facebook, Twitter and other web products impacts our privacy.

    The movie was made by Cullen Hoback, who made Monster Camp, and FrICTION.

    You can watch the trailer here.

  • jOBS Stars Ashton Kutcher And Josh Gad To Speak At MacWorld/iWorld

    Ashton Kutcher and Josh Gad, who will be seen in the roles of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, respectively, in the upcoming film jOBS, will appear on the main stage at the Macworld/iWorld event on Thursday, January 31.

    According to the MacWorld/iWorld site (via 9to5Mac), the two will share their experiences “playing the technology industry’s two most celebrated and influential personalities”. I wonder what Bill Gates thinks about it.

    Last week, some photos of the two in their respective roles hit the web, and while they’ve drawn some criticism from some Apple fans, the two seem pretty good for the parts to me, at least based on appearance alone.

    Kutcher, Gad

    jOBS image: USA Today

    MacWorld/iWorld starts on January 31, and runs through February 2 at Moscone Center West in San Francisco.

    jOBS is expected to be released in April, and in addition to Kutcher and Gad, stars Dermot Mulroney, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine.

    Another Steve Jobs biopic is in the works as well, being written by The Social Network scribe Aaron Sorkin.

  • Warner Bros. To Turn John McAfee eBook Into Movie?

    Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to Wired Magazine’s eBook “John McAfee’s Last Stand,” according to a report from The Guardian, who says the studio will bring the story to the big screen.

    Wired’s description of the eBook is as follows:

    There was always something odd about John McAfee. The tech entrepreneur made a fortune from the antivirus software that bears his name, but also spent years as a cocaine addict, spiritual guru and yoga expert. In 2009, after losing millions in the stock market crash, he decided to retire to the tiny Central American nation of Belize. That’s when things really got weird. He started hanging out with killers, prostitutes, and pimps. He fell in love with a 17-year-old and surrounded his tropical compound with armed guards. In November 2012 his neighbor was found murdered. McAfee, who professed his innocence, fled the police and went into hiding.

    WIRED’s Joshua Davis had months of exclusive access to and interviews with McAfee before his disappearance and was virtually the only journalist McAfee had contact with when he went on the lam. In this fascinating profile, Davis takes readers into McAfee’s heart of darkness, a harrowing and jaw-dropping tale of ambition, paranoia, sex, and madness.

    McAfee had actually been critical of Joshua Davis’ coverage of him in various blog posts while he was in hiding from police.

    Last month, Impact Future Media said it had secured the rights to John McAfee’s life for a movie and/or television.

    Last week, reports indicated that McAfee was in Portland, Oregon.

  • First Trailer For The Pirate Bay Documentary Is Available For Your Viewing Pleasure

    Over the past decade, The Pirate Bay has become of the largest, and most controversial, sites on the Internet. We’re constantly hearing from copyright owners how The Pirate Bay is robbing them blind, but what about the men who run the site itself – what do they think?

    A new documentary entitled “The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard” dives into the history of The Pirate Bay and its founders. The film also covers the massive legal battle between the founders and the entertainment industry as the courts were asked if a Web site’s founders can be held accountable for the actions of its users. The Sweden Supreme Court said they can this year by refusing to hear their case, thereby upholding a previous verdict that found the Pirate Bay founders guilty.

    In the spirit of The Pirate Bay, the documentary will be released for free online under a Creative Commons license. The actual date of release has not been revealed just yet, but the director says it should be out soon.

  • The Official Oscars App Expands To Android, Kindle

    ABC announced today that the official Oscars app is now live, and for the first time, it’s available for Android. Specifically, it’s available on Android 4.0+ devices, including the Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Note 10.1 and GSIII, as well as the new Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD.

    As before, the app is available for iOS as well.

    The app was developed by the Academy and Disney/ABC’s digital media team, and includes the following features, as listed by ABC:

    • Magazine-style format featuring photos, videos and the latest social media buzz.
    • Viewers can watch the live Backstage Pass experience in two different modes, Watch or Direct. In Watch mode, viewers will be guided through the live behind-the-scenes show. In the Direct mode, viewers can select the cameras they want to experience.
    • Live video grid allows viewers the ability to watch all available cameras simultaneously or zero in on one.
    • Once in a camera view, a ticker will display over the video updating viewers to what is happening on other cameras. Fans will be aware when their favorite actor enters another view, allowing them the opportunity to navigate between cameras.

    “Our goal is to create a really full, immersive experience leading up to, during and after the Oscars,” said Karin Gilford, SVP of Digital Media for ABC Television Network. “Last year, we saw a huge increase in the number of people using the app. With its availability now on the Android platform we look forward to bringing even more people into the Oscar experience. We want this to be the next best thing to attending the show itself.”

    “We’re always looking for ways to bring fans closer to the show and this app provides a unique and fun way to do that,” added Josh Spector, Managing Director of Digital Media and Marketing for the Academy. “More fans than ever will be able to enjoy the full Oscar experience now that our app is available to Droid users.”

    The Oscars will air on Sunday, February 24 on ABC, with coverage beginning at 7PM Eastern. You can find the Android app on Google Play.

  • Wreck-It Ralph Hits Digital Download Services A Month Before The Blu-Ray/DVD Release

    Wreck-It Ralph Hits Digital Download Services A Month Before The Blu-Ray/DVD Release

    Who says that film studios are clinging to an outdated business model? Well, most us are, but some of the larger studios are starting to show some signs of progressiveness. Case in point – Disney will be releasing its best film from 2012 – Wreck-It Ralph – as a digital download first with the Blu-ray/DVD release coming a month later.

    Disney announced that Wreck-It Ralph will be available via HD Digital and HD Digital 3D, a relatively new digital distribution model, on February 12. The Blu-ray/DVD release will come a month later on March 5. The early digital release is a step in the right direction, but it would be even better if Disney could release future films via digital distribution closer to their theatrical debut. Plenty of consumers would love to be able to watch a film from their comfort of their home without having to go to a theater.

    For those who prefer physical releases, Disney has three choices – a 4 disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, a 2 disc Blu-ray combo pack, and a regular DVD release. The Blu-ray combo packs include a number of special features that are also present on the HD Digital downloads of the film. These include a making of featurette, deleted scenes, game commercials for the fictional games from the movie, and the excellent “Paperman” short that debuted before the film in theaters.

    Buying the Blu-ray nets you the exclusive, and annoying, Disney Intermission feature. Whenever you pause the film, host Chris Hardwick will appear to talk about the film’s many video game and Disney references. It would be cool as its own separate special feature, but it’s just annoying when it appears whenever you pause the film.

    There’s no pricing available for the HD Digital versions of the film as Disney is apparently leaving that up to providers. As for the physical releases, the 4-Disc Blu-ray combo pack will cost $49.99 and the 2-Disc Blu-ray combo pack will set you back $39.99. The DVD release will only cost $29.99. As always, these sets will be available at a much cheaper price at various retail outlets.

  • Kickstarter Tops $100M in Film Project Pledges

    Online crowdfunding leader Kickstarter is touting a new milestone – its first $100 million project category. The company has just announced that over $100M has been pledged to independent film since the site opened up in April of 2009.

    $102.7M, to be exact. Out of that total, $85.7M has been collected from 891,979 total backers. This money has been used to successfully fund 8,567 projects – a truly amazing accomplishment.

    According to Kickstarter, Documentary is the leading film category for pledges with $42.64M. That’s followed by Narrative Film with $31.74M and Short Film with $16.68M. Over 3,000 short films and over 5,000 feature-length films have been successfully funded since 2009.

    According to Kickstarter’s stats page, Film is the first category to top $100M in pledges. Games are the next most-pledged category with $86.77M, and Design comes in third with $63.18M.

    A few months ago, Kickstarter declared 2012 the “Year of the Game,” as more money was currently pledged for Games than any other type of project on the site. But if 2012 was a big year for indie games (which it was), the entire Kickstarter experiment has been all about indie films.

    Kickstarter has some cool stats about the impact of its successfully funded films. For instance, 86 of the funded films have been released theatrically with 14 coming in 2013. Kickstarter-funded films have snatched up 21 awards at festivals like Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca.

    And five different documentaries are on the Oscars shortlist this year, including this one called The Waiting Room.

    “This would be a very impressive track record for an established studio or production company. To see these results come from outside the system in such a short time is even more inspiring. Filmmakers and audiences have come together on Kickstarter to make the movies they want to see while protecting the filmmaker’s vision for their work,” says Kickstarter.
