The Palm Springs International Film Awards has announced that Carey Mulligan is the recipient of the International Star Award for her performance in Promising Young Woman. As previously announced, the Festival and Film Awards Gala will not take place as an in-person event this year, but honoree selections will be announced to recognize this year’s great performances.
“In Promising Young Woman, Carey Mulligan boldly portrays Cassandra Thomas, a young woman, who risks her life to avenge the death of her best friend. This is a thrilling black comedy that tells an entertaining story of female power,” said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. “For this daring and outstanding performance, it is our honor to present the International Star Award to Carey Mulligan.”
Mulligan was previously honored at the festival with the Breakthrough Performance Award in 2011. Past recipients of the International Star Award include Javier Bardem, Nicole Kidman, Helen Mirren, Gary Oldman and Saoirse Ronan. Last year’s recipient Charlize Theron went on to receive an Academy Award Best Actress nomination.
From groundbreaking director Emerald Fennell comes a delicious new take on revenge. Everyone said Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman … until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story. The Focus Features film is written and directed by Emerald Fennell. Mulligan has received several Best Actress critic awards including from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
Carey Mulligan is an Academy Award®-nominated actress who first broke out in a starring role in the critically acclaimed film An Education. The role garnered her the BAFTA Award for Best Actress and nominations for an Academy Award®, Golden Globe Award and SAG Award. Mulligan will next star opposite Bradley Cooper in the Netflix feature Maestro. Written and directed by Cooper, Maestro will tell the complex love story of Leonard Bernstein (Cooper) and his wife Felicia Montealegre (Mulligan). This year, Mulligan appears in The Dig opposite Ralph Fiennes for Netflix. Her film credits include Wildlife, Mudbound, Suffragette, Far from the Madding Crowd, Inside Llweyn Davis, The Great Gatsby, Shame, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Never Let Me Go, Brothers, Public Enemies, The Greatest, And When Did You Last See Your Father? and Pride & Prejudice. Mulligan’s stage credits include The Seagull, Skylight, Girls and Boys, Through a Glass Darkly and Hypochondriac.

Episode 56 - The Fog (1980).
On the 56th episode of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Haydn & Skye take a ghoulish trip to the haunted coastal town of Antonio Bay as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s tale of ghostly revenge, The Fog. Carpenter is a firm favourite director amongst the Film ‘89 team and following on from one of our earliest episodes where Carpenter’s seminal sci-fi/horror classic, The Thing was given the Film ‘89 treatment, this time we look at his 1980 cult classic, The Fog, a ghost story that underwent considerable post-production re-shooting after Carpenter felt that it lacked the requisite scares compared to its contemporaries. Carpenter and his producing/writing partner Debra Hill had a lot of expectation upon them to follow-up their 1978 smash-hit, Halloween, a film that was one of the most profitable films of all time and had firmly cemented Carpenter as a director to watch. The Fog is the perfect film for Halloween season, a classic campfire tale of revenge that features a cast that includes both Hollywood royalty and many recurring faces from Carpenter’s filmography.

Jacob is joined by another seasoned podcaster and writer on the subject of film, someone who’s been a valued friend of Film ’89 since we began, the wonderful Leanne Kubicz. Leanne brings her extensive knowledge of the work of Fincher to an episode that we’re sure our listeners will love as she and Jacob give their in-depth analysis of a film that’s earned an ever growing following and remains one of Fincher’s best works.

Episode 52 - Jaws (1975).
Episode 52 of The Film ‘89 Podcast is one the big ones for us, one of those special films that’s been on our dream list of films to cover since the podcast was just a pipe dream. That film is of course Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film, Jaws, and to coincide with the film’s 45th anniversary, we’re giving you, our loyal listeners, something which as far as we’re aware has never been done before, a Jaws audio commentary. It’s certainly not something that’s been done on Laserdisc, DVD or Blu-Ray. Now this is a special episode not just because Jaws is one of our all-time favourite films, but this is also the single most requested episode by you, our good listeners, and when we ran a poll in May 2018 for nominations for films to receive a Film ‘89 audio commentary, Jaws was the most requested film and has remained the film our listeners most want us to cover.

Episode 51 - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) / Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018).
In Episode 51 of the Film ’89 Podcast, Haydn is joined by returning co-host John Arminio of Comix Connection to discuss the impact of two of the most revered animated superhero films ever made. Separated by 25 years, 1993’s Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse have considerable stylistic differences but what they have in common is that both are brilliant adaptations of their respective characters. One film portrays the dark and brooding Gotham City, the other a bright and colourful New York City but both films give proper dues to the heart of their respective characters and are both brilliantly written films with stellar vocal performances. Haydn and John go in-depth in this loving retrospective analysis of these two landmark animated comic book adaptations. *Editor’s Note: There was an unforeseen technical issue during the recording of this episode that rendered a significant portion of John’s audio unusable. Every effort was made to restore it to an acceptable level but we apologise for the general dip in sound quality on this episode and can assure you that any Gremlins have since been suitably expunged from John’s recording equipment.

Episode 50 - 1990, The Summer of Sequels.
Episode 50 of The Film ‘89 Podcast is a milestone not only for being our half century episode, but it’s also the first time that all five founding members of film89.co.uk have appeared together on an episode. As it’s a special episode we’ll be taking our listeners away from the woes of 2020 and back in time 30 years to the summer of 1990. That particular year in film is one that’s very special to us. The roster of films released theatrically in 1990 was huge with numerous films released which would go on to become all-time classics, films such as Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, Kevin Costner’s revisionist western, Dances With Wolves and Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall. But aside from that, 1990 saw more sequels to mainstream films released than any other year. The summer season was particularly packed with sequels such as Back to the Future Part III, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, RoboCop 2, Die Hard 2, The Exorcist III and more. Later on that year we had Rocky V, Predator 2 and The Godfather Part III. These are but a few of the 50+ films that Haydn, Richie, Neil, Steve and Skye talk about in-depth in this packed episode, a nostalgic trip back in time to the Summer of Sequels.

In Episode 49 of the Film ’89 Podcast, our resident comic book creator Haydn Spurrell is joined by returning co-host and fellow comic book expert, John Arminio of Comix Connection, to discuss in-depth one of their favourite comic book creations, John Constantine.

He seeks salvation from eternal damnation in Hell for a suicide attempt in his youth. In 2005 the character became the focus of a big screen adaptation from director Francis Lawrence. A star vehicle for Keanu Reeves, the film featured brilliant turns from Peter Stormare as Lucifer, Tilda Swinton as the Archangel Gabriel and Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite and went on to gross over $230 million worldwide.

An adaptation of author Thomas Harris’ book, Red Dragon, Manhunter marks the first big screen appearance of Harris’ now legendary serial killer, Doctor Hannibal Lecktor, played brilliantly by Brian Cox. But Lecktor isn’t the main focus here as Former F.B.I. Profiler Will Graham tracks a brutal serial killer known as the Tooth Fairy, played to chilling effect by Tom Noonan. With a great supporting cast including Joan Allen, Dennis Farina and Stephen Lang, Manhunter is a prime exemplar of Mann’s taught direction and unique visual style.

Argentina’s “The Immutable Evil,” “The Guardian,” and “Under Your Feet” and Colombia’s “The Elf” are among a 16-project lineup at the 4th Blood Window, one of Latin America’s strongest industry pushes to consolidate a prime export assets: Genre movies.
Playing Blood Window’s Beyond the Window co-pro forum, as the other titles, “The Inmutable Evil” is a psychological thriller lead-produced by Argentina’s Red Elephant Films and Guante Negro Films and to be directed by Matías Salinas whose debut, “Omen,” took Best Latin American Feature at the Nocturna Film Fest 2015.
“I want to experience the detective genre through psychological terror, where childhood trauma, the ghosts of the past, unhealthy obsession and sexual prejudice construct the most genuine of horrors,” Salinas said. Now shooting “Parallel,” starring Martin Wallstrom (“Mr Robot”) and Georgia King (“Vice Principals,” “Kill Your Friends”), Isaac Ezban produces “Evil”.
Winner of the first Argentine Fantastic Genre Film Competition launched last year by the INCAA Argentine Film Institute, “Guardian,” (aka “La casa acecha”) will be directed by Mariano de Rosa, Mar del Plata’s Fipresci Price for omnibus feature “Bad Times”
“With this story I would like to explore one particular kind of horror. What would happen if the people most precious to us, those who should protect us, do not?,” Rosa said. Habitación 1520, whose credits include Benjamín Ávila’s “Clandestine Childhood,” produces.
“Under Your Feet” is directed by Cristian Bernard (“76-89-03,” “D-Graduated”) and set up at Roberta Sánchez’s 16:9 Films. The horror film following a young widow who decides to move into an old building and leave her past behind in order to alleviate her grief at loss.
One of the highest-profile horror projectors coming out of Colombia, “The Elf” is set in lost landscapes rich in ancient myths and evil spirits. Jorge Navas, whose debut, ”Blood and Rain,” was nominated for the Lion of the Future Award at Venice, directs this production of Diego Ramírez, a producer on Carlos Moreno’s “Dog Eat Dog,” and Nancy Fernández’s at 64-A Films.
Projects awaited with interest include, from Chile, both Pablo Illanes’ horror thriller “The Grave” and Cristóbal Echevensko’s sci-fi movie “The Horribles,” as well as Fiona Pittaluga’s “Dark Lights,” from Uruguay, and Mexican Gustavo Moheno’s fantasy horror pic “Melissa,” his follow-up popular chiller “Hasta el viento tiene miedo.”
The lineup underscores Mexico and Argentina’s status as Latin America’s genre powewrhouse. Both account for six projects. Colombia, Chile and Brazil follow with two a piece. Projects range widely from straight arrow scare fare to more upscale auteur fantasy features.
This year’s selection takes in a slew of lesser-known young directors as genre continues to explode s a favoured production type among younger Latin Americans.

The plot of Transformers 5 is still being kept under wraps, but it may revisit the Knights of Cybertron concept introduced in Age of Extinction.
Check out when this movie and other movies are coming out in ComicBook.com's Movie Release Schedule.


A movie that 'explores the near-mythical world of the French Foreign Legion.'
Dennis Lavant stars as Galoup, a sergeant-major whose position and power are threatened when the bravery and heroism of new recruit Sentain (Gregoire Colin) attracts the attention of the platoon's commandant (Michel Subor). Enraged, Galoup plots Sentain's downfall, a doomed course of action that leads to his own undoing.
French with English subtitles
Quite possible one of the *worst* movies I've ever seen. It sounded interesting, and since the French Foreign Legion isn't a well explored area in gay movies, I thought it could be a fascinating backdrop for what sounded like a dark lovestory.
Instead, what we have here, is a dire 'arthouse' movie, which so badly wants to be chic and cool, with endless scenes of men marching in the desert, or dancing in town, and being generally obnoxious......but it never actually forms into anything resembling a plot, and the characters rarely, if ever speak.
A pure abomination of a film, which made me want to demand my money back from Blockbuster!

Writer: Kelly Marcel, Sue Smith (Screenplay)
Starring: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell, Ruth Wilson, Paul Giamatti, Bradley Whitford, B.J. Novak, Jason Schwartzman
Plot: When Walt Disney’s (Hanks) daughters begged him to make a movie of their favourite book, P.L. Travers’ (Thompson) Mary Poppins, he made them a promise, one that he didn’t realize would take twenty years to keep. In this quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But as the book stops selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation. For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman Brothers Robert and Richard (Novak and Schwartzman), Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp. It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Verdict: A delightful story behind a classic
Story: With Mary Poppins being a classic learning the back story to the author’s motivation for the tale and determination to have it done her way rather than Disney’s way. The conflict to make it personal to her works well and using the flashbacks to ultimately reach the point where we see where Mary came from and what was learnt from the characters in the film. (9/10)
Actor Review: Emma Thompson – P.L Travers the stubborn author who wants her book done her way, with no exceptions, confrontational but hiding something that no one has got close enough to understand. Brilliant from Thompson, who clearly is the star of the show. (10/10)
Actor Review: Tom Hanks – Walt Disney trying to keep his promise to his daughters to make Mary Poppins who pulls out all the stock to make it happen. Good from Hanks who shows great charm towards Travers character. (8/10)
Actor Review: Colin Farrell – Travers Goff the father in the backstory to create the whole story. Great from Colin, who shines as the loving father with personal demons. (8/10)
Actor Review: Paul Giamatti – Ralph the personal driver who builds a friendship with Mrs Travers who keeps a positive outlook on life even when it has tested him. Great supporting role performance from Giamatti. (8/10)
Actor Review: Bradley Whitford – Don DaGradi the screenwriter that Mrs Travers has to work with and has constant conflict with ideas. Bradley does well in the role showing great supporting qualities. (8/10)
Actor Review: B.J. Novak – Robert one brother in the music composer who has to come up with the music to go with the words. Good supporting role who gets some good laughs. (8/10)
Actor Review: Jason Schwartzman – Richard the other half of the brothers who compose the music. Good supporting role who gets the laughs too. (8/10)
Director Review: John Lee Hancock – Beautifully directed mixing together the past and present scenes to come to the final outcome. (8/10)
Comedy: Gentle comedy throughout. (7/10)
Drama: Great drama to show how the characters are affected. (9/10)
Believability: Based on the untold true story. (8/10)
Chances of Tears: Maybe a few for some. (3/10)
Settings: Great recreation of the two different time periods with Disney in the 60s and an Australian outback for the childhood scenes. (9/10)
Suggestion: I would suggest watching this as it will fulfil all the needs from film fans. (Watch)
Best Part: My favourite part is Ralph and Mrs Travers getting to know each other by building a castle out of leaves and sticks, very touching moment.
Funniest Scene: Mrs Travers first arrives in the hotel.
Oscar Chances: Nominated for 1 Oscar
Chances of Sequel: No
Tagline: Behind the beloved book is a story beyond words.
Overall: Brilliant Story That Shows Disney’s Magic

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is one of those films that kind of got lost in the COVID-19 shuffle. But the first trailer is here to remind us to remember the darn name. Henry Golding stars as Snake Eyes, a member of Japanese clan known as the Arashikage. We know his upcoming origin story will test him, but to what extent is yet to be made clear. The movie marks the first in the new G.I. Joe Origins saga, with the intent to add several more films to the lineup later.
Check out the first trailer for the film!
This clip does exactly what we want our movie trailers to do. We get a little taste of the action without any kind of hard core plot points revealed. Sure, it's a first trailer, but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll decide to keep the cooler scenes under wraps until we get the chance to check it out on the big screen. We might know Snake Eyes' character, but sometimes you want a little bit of mystery when it comes to your big explosions and hardcore action scenes!
Snake Eyes is based on the Hasbro’s G.I. Joe characters, with the script penned by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Anna Waterhouse, and Joe Shrapnel. Robert Schwentke will direct the film, while David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Jeff G. Waxman, and Greg Mooradian will serve as executive producers on the project.
In addition to Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, the new film will star Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Tahehiro Hira as Kenta, Iko Uwais as Hard Master,Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, and Úrsula Corberó as The Baroness.
Snake Eyes is set to hit theaters July 23rd, 2021.

Jang Geun-seok admits to crush on Ha Ji-won
Back in 2006, Jang Geun-seok was a baby-faced,
2119-year-old actor transitioning into more adult roles in the hit KBS sageuk drama Hwang Jini, which starred Ha Ji-won as the famous gisaeng. (Okay, he’s still baby-faced.) Three years later, he has admitted to an old crush on his noona co-star back when they played mutual first loves in that drama.
He made the confession at the taping of an upcoming episode of KBS’s Entertainment Weekly, in response to the question, “Have you ever fallen in love while filming?” He answered yes, saying, “When I was filming Hwang Jini, I had a one-sided crush on Ha Ji-won noona. … She’s so beautiful and kind that a person can’t help but fall for her.”
He also named Lee Byung-heon as the actor he’d most like to be like, explaining, “I’m envious of Lee Lee Byung-heon, who displayed such unforgettable acting in the movie Bittersweet Life.”
The segment airs on the August 29 broadcast of Entertainment Relay. Jang Geun-seok’s latest film, Itaewon Murder Case, opens on September 10.

Check out the official trailer for The Purge starring Lena Headey, Ethan Hawke and Edwin Hodge, right here on Fan Reviews.
Release Date: June 7, 2013
The Purge is an upcoming 2013 American science-fiction thriller film directed and written by James DeMonaco. Film is schedule to be released on June 7, 2013. Film stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, Edwin Hodge and Rhys Wakefield.


Although when I reviewed Saw I only gave it two stars, it was still (if you're a horror movie fan) an interesting concept for a film and I liked the fact that the characters were "real". The sequel has already stirred up controversy with the MPAA squelching the poster for the film.
Unfortunately with the amazing financial success of the first film, it seems like the second one is entering the land of stock characters. Yahoo! Movies has the trailer for the upcoming Saw II, and it's just chock full of a cross section of young/hip characters worthy of any season of Survivor.
Personally, I think that having a cast consisting mainly of characters that look like twenty-something male and female models detracts from the impact of the film. Having a somewhat pudgy Cary Elwes in the first film and the everyman Danny Glover made the movie seem less like a typical teen slasher flick that one watches "from the outside" and more of a film that sucked you in.
No matter, I'm sure it will make oodles of money.


A producer of the much-heralded and controversial documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman’ ” admitted yesterday that it misrepresented the timing of one particularly moving scene.
Leslie Chilcott told The Post that shots of a Bronx mother touring the Harlem Success Academy charter school were filmed after she’d already learned her son, Francisco, had not won a seat in the high-performing school’s lottery.
Yet in the film, the mother, Maria, is shown going through the school before the lottery, as if she still has hope for a spot.
“Did we shoot it after the lottery? Yeah. But we felt like it was fine because she still wanted one of her kids to go to the school,” Chilcott said.
“It has sequential honesty, because she still has one more kid that could have gotten in next year.”
But United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew ripped the filmmakers.
“It’s wrong,” he said. “To go back and to stage a scene because you’re trying to make a point? Sorry.”

When a movie hits Netflix and immediately hits the top of the charts, we take notice. Here’s what happened when this gut-wrenching thriller hit the platform on January 11. Noise (Noise) debuted as the #1 foreign-language film on the Netflix charts and still haunts viewers who have seen it thus far.

In the film, Julia is a mother, or rather, one of many mothers, sisters, daughters and colleagues whose lives have been torn apart by widespread violence in a country waging war against its women. Julia looks for Ger, her daughter. And in her search for her, she will go through the stories and struggles of the different women she will meet.
Watch the trailer for Noise
Noise It was directed by Natalia Beristain. It was written by Natalia Beristain, Diego Enrique Osorno and Alo Valenzuela. The film stars Julieta Egurrola, Teresa Ruiz and Erick Israel Consuelo.
Many viewers were moved by the story and took to Twitter to discuss the issues it raises. Why Noise is bringing conversations about sex trafficking, missing women and children in Mexico, to a streamer as accessible as Netflix, is highlighting just how bigger of a problem this is than some viewers knew.

We love seeing an international movie land on Netflix and not only soar to the number one spot, but also make an impact while doing so. It’s especially impressive when the movie seemingly comes out of nowhere. Let us know if you have already seen Noise. Or if she plans to add it to her queue. You can let me know at @misssharai

With a theatrical release in almost exactly a month, it’s only a matter time before we get an official MPAA rating for Ridley Scott‘s return to sci-fi Prometheus. 20th Century FOX’s Tom Rothman recently stated that the Alien director just went ahead and made the film without seriously considering what it would get slapped with, and that whatever it is, they’ll go with it sans appeal. We’ve got a first strong clue at what the rating will be today, as an IMDb user (via Collider), has a pre-sale ticket stub that indicates the film will be rated R. See below.
Update: 20th Century Fox 100% confirms the rating to Collider, saying it will be rated R for “sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.”
As official MPAA ratings get released every Wednesday, I’m sure we’ll get some official confirmation soon. It’s be great to see Scott venture into more adult territory, similar to his first Alien film, but with the relaxed MPAA restrictions on PG-13 tentpoles (see The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games, etc.), I don’t particularly care which way the rating goes.
In other Prometheus news, it looks like we actually won’t get to see an upcoming film because of similarities between possible film and Ridley Scott‘s upcoming one. The film in question in Guillermo del Toro‘s At the Mountains of Madness. After Universal killed the project, the director still indicated as of last summer he’d want to make the adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft‘s beloved novel. Although he’s hard at work on his next film, the sci-fi epic Pacific Rim arriving next summer, he has another update on the possibility of Madness and it’s not looking promising. He took to his official forums to share the news and one can read it below.
I have been interviewed about this lately and wanted to post my two cents about this:
Prometheus started filming a while ago- right at the time we were in preproduction on PACIFIC RIM. The title itself gave me pause- knowing that ALIEN was heavily influenced by Lovecraft and his novella.
This time, decades later with the budget and place Ridley Scott occupied, I assumed the greek metaphor alluded at the creation aspects of the HPL book. I believe I am right and if so, as a fan, I am delighted to see a new RS science fiction film, but this will probably mark a long pause -if not the demise- of ATMOM.
The sad part is- I have been pursuing ATMOM for over a decade now- and, well, fter Hellboy II two projects I dearly loved were not brought to fruition for me.
The good part is: One project did… And I am loving it and grateful for the blessings I have received.
One would think that if Prometheus AND Pacific Rim are big successes, along with other rival sci-fi projects, that this could mean Madness is more likely to get into production, but that isn’t the case. The director said, “both movies seem to share identical set pieces and the exact same BIG REVELATION (twist) at the end. I won’t spoil it.” So, if you’ve read Madness I assume you know the “twist” of Prometheus, but I’m somewhat shocked that they are so identical that we’ll never see an adaptation of Lovecraft’s novel from del Toro. Hopefully he’ll reconsider, since this is sci-fi project I’d love to see come to fruition.
Prometheus hits theaters on June 8th, while Pacific Rim arrives July 2013.
Are you happy at the MPAA prospects of Prometheus? Upset that we’ll likely never see Madness?

The Top 10 List of the Best Films Based On Stephen King’s Books
The Stephen King Low Down
Stephen King has been writing novels and short stories since the early 1970’s. His books have kept millions riveted reading his tales in horror, suspense, fantasy, science fiction and drama for decades. They’ve also been made into movies and miniseries on TV. Some are insanely good, others…no so much.
This is a list of movies created from the written works of Stephen King. The placement of each movie depends on several factors. Is the movie considered a ‘classic’? Does it have dialogue or scenes that transcend the film? Not that a cast can make a movie, but it never hurts. Who’s in the cast and how good were they? Was the film an award winner; if so, for what?
I’ve definitely given Stephen King a hard time for some of the disasters that he’s inspired. This is the time, however, to give him some credit for the great films that he’s written which have been filmed and made into must see movies.
10. Cujo (Teague, 1983)
This is the only movie on the list without a famous cast. Dee Wallace (E.T.) plays Donna Trenton, a mother who is trapped in a car with her ailing son, Ted, while a rabid dog constantly on the attack. For such a young kid, Danny Pintauro (Who’s The Boss?) does a pretty good job.
Although the book was much better (most are, aren’t they?), the movie does it justice. It makes this list because the name Cujo has entered the American lexicon for a crazy or nasty dog…or person for that matter.
9. Firestarter (Lester, 1984)
This is a story about a little girl, Charlie McGee, who has pyrokinetic powers and is hunted down by a government agency, The Shop, who wants to control her. The little girl in this movie is a Hollywood legacy and film star in her own right, Drew Barrymore (Charlie's Angels). The part that I remember is how she tried to control her powers. She would snarl, “Back OFF!” There were many time in my youth that I would say this when I was mad. Of course I never shot fire out of my hair, but occasionally it did stop me from digging deeper into trouble. My parents did not have magical powers from being government lab rats. Her parents are played by David Keith (An Officer and a Gentleman) and Heather Locklear (Melrose Place).
Let’s not forget about the main guys at The Shop. Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now) plays Cap with smarmy perfection while George C. Scott (Patton) delivers a performance with an equal amount sensitivity and deviousness. Now that’s a pair with acting chops to spare.
8. Apt Pupil (Singer, 1998)
This character driven story is about a young man named Todd Bowden, Brad Renfro (The Client) who finds out his neighbor, Kurt Dussander, is a Nazi war criminal. Instead of contacting authorities, he decides to blackmail Dussander, played by Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings), into telling him stories about the concentration camps.
This psychological thriller didn't do very well at the box office, but the acting was superb.McKellan’s acting was so stellar in this film that he won a Critic’s Choice Award for Best Actor. It was well deserved.
Apt Pupil Trailer
7. The Stand (Garris, 1994)
Let me get this out of the way: this isn’t a feature film. This is a mini series, which originally aired on ABC, which means it is long, 6 hours long. At least the story is good and it is has the distinction of being the movie that sticks the closest to King’s novel. That’s probably because it’s 6 hours long, but let’s not get weighed down on technicalities.
This series is about a plague that kills most of mankind, leaving the remaining people to divide into two groups: Good and Evil. Apparently there are no grey areas in Stephen King’s world, nor any people existing outside of the United States. I’m sure he thought of that, but whatever, moving on…
Some people didn’t like it and others claim it is a rip off of Lord of the Rings, but that doesn’t negate the outstanding performances from Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump), Molly Ringwald (Pretty In Pink), Ruby Dee (Jungle Fever), Ray Walston (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Ossie Davis (Bubba Ho-Tep), Rob Lowe (St. Elmo’s Fire) and Laura San Giacomo (Sex, Lies, and Videotape) just to name a few. How’s that for great cast? Though no one got an award for their performances, the series did nab two Emmy’s, one for make up and the other for sound. Not bad.
The Stand Trailer
6. Stand By Me (Reiner, 1986)
This is the movie that asked the profound question, “Do you think Mighty Mouse can beat Superman?” Who would have believed that a movie about a bunch of kids going to see a dead body would touch the hearts of so many? This one did. This touching tale of growing up stars Richard Dreyfus (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) as The Writer or Gordie, who recounts a youthful adventure with his friends. Young Gordie is played by Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and the cast of his friends are River Phoenix (My Own Private Idaho), Corey Feldman (The Goonies) and Jerry O’Connell (Jerry MaGuire). Wheaton once said that their performances were so good, because each kid embodied the characters that Reiner cast them for in real life. Good job Rob Reiner and I’m sure he gave a high five to his casting director too.
Let’s give the casting director another high five for casting Kiefer Sutherland (24), Casey Siemaszko (Three O’Clock High) and Bradley Gregg (Fire In the Sky) as a group of bullies antagonizing Gordie and his friends. Who can forget Ace (Sutherland) driving by mailboxes and hitting them with his baseball bat? Homeowners around the nation winced.
In the end, the movie walked away with two Golden Globes, one for Best Motion Picture Drama and the other for Best Director for Reiner. Reiner also took home the Director’s Guild Award. It also took home an Academy Award for Writing-Adapted Screenplay. In case you’re wondering, King didn’t write the screenplay, so that was given to someone else.
Stand By Me Trailer
5. Carrie (DePalma, 1976)
This American classic has some ‘firsts’ that distinguish it from the rest on this list. The book was the first King novel to be published and the movie was the first to be produced and filmed. This was also Amy Irving’s (Crossing Delancy) and Betty Buckley’s (Frantic) first feature film. The last two aren't quite monumental, but this is nice little tidbit of information in case it comes up in Trivial Pursuit.
The star, however, is Carrie innocent, yet powerfully played by Sissy Spacek (Coal Miner’s Daughter). Piper Laurie (The Hustler) plays her mother and the pair is in a rare group of actresses nominated for Academy Awards for their roles in this horror movie. It’s a rare feat indeed. The movie itself made #46 in AFI’s 100 Years…100 Thrills list. Who can forget the pig blood at the prom scene? That scene has been etched into pop culture history and will be forever remembered at prom time when the queen goes up to get her crown.
But, let’s not forget that this movie also stars John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) and William Katt (The Greatest American Hero). In fact, this movie was made during Travolta’s Welcome Back, Kotter days and was his first motion picture. See that? Another interesting tidbit I'm throwing at you. Trivial Pursuit here you come.
4. Misery (Reiner, 1990)
Do your ankles hurt just thinking about this movie? Mine do and that is just one reason this movie is so great. Kathy Bates (Fried Green Tomatoes) plays Annie Wilkes, an obsessed fan who kidnaps a car wrecked author played by James Caan (The Godfather).
How good was Kathy Bates in this role? It earned her Best Actress awards from the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Not only that, Steven King loved her so much that he wrote Delores Claiborne (1995) for her as well as a part in The Stand.
Even though it was only nominated for AFI’s 100 Years…100 Quotes, Annie’s “I’m your #1 fan” still send chills down the spine. That’s because Bates performed the hell out of that role and help makes Wilkes AFI’s 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains, the #17 Villain on their list. Once again Rob Reiner took one of King’s books and etched it into pop culture. That takes talent.
3. The Green Mile (Darabont, 1999)
This tale is about a death row inmate named John Coffey with a mysterious gift who changes the lives of prisoners and guards around him.
Let me start this off by saying that this film received kudos all around and was nominated for a slew of awards. Michael Clark Duncan (Sin City) who plays Coffee won a few Best Supporting Actor awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films (2000) and Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards (2000), Patricia Clarkson (Shutter Island) received a Best Supporting Actress award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films (2000) while the widely loved Tom Hanks (Philadelphia) won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award (2000) for Best Actor.
Those are only the actors that won awards, but there were other actors that put their stamp on this film as well. Bonnie Hunt (Jumanji), Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump), Harry Dean Stanton (Alien), David Morse (The Hurt Locker) and James Cromwell (L.A. Confidential) all give great performances that you get lost in this 3 hour film. It is heart breaking, joyous and worth every moment spent watching it.
The Green Mile Trailer
2. The Shining (Kubrick, 1980)
Jack Nicholson (Chinatown); how his mere presence alters a film. If King was given a chance he wouldn’t have ever casted Nicholson nor would he have allowed experimental director, Stanley Kubrick, to helm this classic film. King’s biggest complaint was that Jack Torrence (Nicholson) wasn’t the same character as his book and the character’s motivations were off. He was especially ticked that the supernatural elements were overlooked.
Did he not understand that Nicholson is an acting freak of genius and that Kubrick was an auteur? Damn the book and allow the narrative to flow from visual impact. Kubrick achieved visual impact, so much so that to this day people are still analyzing the scenes in an attempt to piece together its full meaning. That’s not good directing, that’s great directing. Sorry Stephen King, though the movie may not be exactly like the book, it was scary, engaging and exciting to watch. It’s a definite must see.
There are plenty of memorable scenes that shock you like “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” or creep you out like the two twin ittle girls, an elevator full of blood and “Redrum, Redrum”. AFI’s 100 years…100 Movie Quotes thought that there was one quote that topped all others and it placed #68 on their list. Remember the scene? Nicholson axed through his front door frightening his wife, Wendy, played by Shelly Duvall (Popeye). He pops his head through the shattered door and screeches, “Here’s Johnny!” Move over Johnny Carson, the line was forever altered.
Adding tot that, his valiant attempts to kill his wife and child also gets Jack Torrance on AFI’s List of 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains at the #25 spot. The movie itself made AFI’s 100 years…100 Thrills list at #29. King may have not liked the movie, but it has cut its way into American culture forever.
The Shining Trailer
1. The Shawshank Redemption (Darabont, 1994)
This movie is so moving, dramatic and emotional that there’s only one reason that it didn’t win a slew of Academy Awards: Forrest Gump. Just know that it was nominated for 7 Academy Awards, but got shut out by Tom Hanks’ juggernaut film. That, however, doesn’t diminish the impact this movie still has.
This character driven story is about a friendship between Andy and Red that grows inside a prison. It is all about corruption and redemption. Andy is played by Tim Robbins (Mystic River) who juxtaposes naivety and brilliance effortlessly. Morgan Freeman (Seven) shows strength, weakness and cunning as Red. The pair moves this film and create subtle moments of brilliance that will make you chuckle, cry and get angry with them.
AFI nominated them in several of their 100 Best categories. The two areas they made the list are 100 Years…100 Cheers (for inspirational films) and 100 Years…100 movies at #72.
- Five Horror Movies You Should Avoid Like the Plague
This is a list of horror movies to watch during Halloween or ever for that matter. These films missed the mark and you should miss watching them. A movie based on one of Stephen King's books makes this list!
And That's It
This was a hard Top 10 to muddle out, because I love all of these movies and this still doesn’t include some of my favorites. I loved Christine (Carpenter, 1983), Pet Sematary (Lambert, 1989) and Dolores Claiborne (Hackford, 1995). If you haven’t seen these movies, buy them, rent them, download them or stream them. It doesn’t matter, just as long as you watch them. They are all worth watching and reading for that matter.
...and stay away from the plethora of stinkers that are out there. There are plenty.


In Disney’s cinematic canon there seems to be no entry more revered than 1991’s “Beauty and the Beast”. The film was the first of very few animated features to ever be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. And with remakes and reboots being incredibly trendy recently, it makes sense that the film would be one of the studio’s first to get a live-action makeover
However, remakes are tricky: stray too far from the source and risk alienating fans of the original, but stick too closely to the source material and become absolutely unnecessary.
The 2017 remake, directed by Bill Condon, stumbles more in the latter category, though not without trying desperately to differentiate the film from its predecessor.
The plot is similar, other than a few tweaks made here and there, and does very little to deviate from the fairytale from which it derives.
Belle (Emma Watson), an intelligent, beautiful and ambitious girl, dreams of giving up her small town existence, which includes daily come-ons from the town’s resident hyper-masculine oaf, Gaston (Luke Evans), in order to pursue a life of adventure.
After her father is taken prisoner by a hideous Beast (Dan Stevens) in an outlandishly elegant castle filled with enchanted clocks, candelabras and teapots, Belle offers to take his place. Instead of letting Belle rot in a cell, as the beast intends, the autonomous objects decide her arrival signals a fateful opportunity: If Belle were to fall in love with the Beast, the curse set upon both them and the castle would be broken.
Casting Watson as Belle is nothing short of genius as she effortlessly embodies Belle’s determined spirit, helping to elevate the character from love-struck princess to feminist hero.
Despite Watson’s compelling performance, her musical presence is lacking at the very least. That is to say almost the entirety of her vocal performance is unforgivably auto-tuned, resulting in vocals so robotic one has to wonder if
Watson’s vocal work would be more rightfully credited to the computer that processed them. This is the film’s most glaring misstep, and immediately destroys any immersion the film works to create.
The rest of the veteran cast hold their own. Highlights include Ewan McGregor and Sir Ian McKellen skillfully perform as Lumière and Cogsworth respectively, but the material is so derivative of the original that they can never really differentiate themselves from their animated predecessors.
The only striking difference in character is Lefou (Josh Gad), who Disney revealed to be its first openly-gay character shortly before the film was released. However, Gad’s stereotypical performance does little more than render Lefou a caricature whose unrequited pining for Gaston is always the butt of the joke. The move is insulting to the LGBTQ community, playing more as pandering than progress.
This blatant attempt to shoehorn diversity, along with the film’s other slight deviations, including its marvelous live-action visual effects and grand orchestral score, feels like nothing more than a distraction, a spectacle whose purpose merely justifies the film’s right to exist.
But the film can never quite stand on its own, and only really succeeds in reminding audiences of how relevant the original still is.
As a result, “Beauty and the Beast” serves as nothing more than an empty reminder of what to avoid when remaking a movie, and considering the number of live action retreads Disney has already announced, let’s hope for one truly worthy of standing on its own.

And I thought we were done with this
high school stuff long ago?
As Shyamalan gets everything ready for his upcoming
Warner Bros. feature Lady in the Water, it seems Fox 2000 is working just as
quickly to find a replacement to helm their adaptation of Yann Martel's
bestselling novel Life of Pi.
Shyamalan had been attached to the picture since October

casting Children of Men over at Universal and Fox must get a few things
worked out with Warner Bros. to obtain Cuarón's services, but Variety does say
that negotiations are going fast.The PLOT: Life of Pi follows the story of Pi

with his family to emigrate to America,
along with their zoo animals. Along the way, the ship sinks and Pi is left
stranded at sea in a lifeboat along with a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded

Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan has again rubbished rumours that he is going to shave his head for his first international film Shantaram to be directed by US-based Indian director Mira Nair. The Big B told: "This is completely untrue! I've no knowledge of any such requirement for Mira's film, nor have I spoken to anyone about it. When I heard about this I spoke to Mira and she rubbished it. "She told me she hasn't even envisaged me as bald for 'Shantaram', let alone share it with the media which is so busy imagining me bald through morphed pictures on the net, etc. But sorry I'm not obliging." Based on Gregory David Roberts ‘Shantaram’, the film is being co-produced by Hollywood star Johnny Depp, who plays a key role in it. The closest Mr. Bachchan has come to facial innovation is the trimmed beard to play the cop's role in Khakee and the hip ponytail for the chef's part in Cheeni Kum. "That's as far as I go. My face is ugly enough. I can't do anything to improve it. Nothing can save it." Mr. Bachchan says he will start shooting for ‘Shantaram’ in January, but before that he will complete filming several films in India. He is currently busy shooting for two back-to-back films – Bhootnath and Aladdin where he plays a ghost and a jinn respectively. "I am shooting for 'Bhootnath' now, which will be complete by the middle of November.

Christopher Walken plays a loser auto mechanic in Queens, New York whose life is hitting rock bottom. His checks are bouncing all over the place, and his relationship with his girl friend, nicely played by Cyndi Lauper is heading nowhere fast. He becomes involved in a heist, with some bumbling locals. The film works well enough, but the writing is a bit weak, and it could have been directed a little better. But well worth a look. By the way, Walken is excellent.
