Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Gangs of New York

Oscar Campaign Scandal: Robert Wise, Miramax &#038; GANGS OF NEW YORK Part I
Back to Robert Wise (right) and Gangs of New York: The plot got even thicker when Murray Weissman and others later claimed that Wise himself had approached Miramax after reading another Op-Ed piece, this one published in Variety (Feb. 3, 2003) and penned by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President&#8217;s Men), who called Gangs of New York &#34;a mess&#34; and Martin Scorsese &#34;a giant ape director&#34; who disregarded his screenwriters. (In his article, John Horn states that Miramax approached Wise.)
A Business Weekly piece by Ron Grover questioned the Academy&#8217;s double standard. Why [...]]]></description>

Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Gangs of New York

Nicolas Chartier, one of the four Oscar-nominated producers of  The Hurt Locker, has been penalized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences because of e-mails he sent out a couple of weeks ago asking various Academy members to vote for his low-budgeted Iraq War drama and not for &#34;a  $500M film&#34; &#8212; that&#8217;s James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar, The Hurt Locker&#8217;s chief competitor in the Best Picture category.
Chartier&#8217;s aggressive campaigning caught the media&#8217;s attention, but he&#8217;s hardly the first Oscar nominee &#8212; or potential Oscar nominee &#8212; whose  tactics have raised eyebrows at the Academy and elsewhere. In fact, Academy rules regarding vote-soliciting campaigns  became more [...]]]></description>

Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker

Remember the backlash following former Academy president and two-time Best Director Oscar winner Robert Wise&#8217;s ad asking Academy members to vote for Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Miramax release Gangs of New York back in early 2003? You don&#8217;t? Well, apparently neither does Voltage Pictures producer Nicolas Chartier, whose The Hurt Locker is the favorite to win this year&#8217;s Best Picture Academy Award after bagging the BAFTA for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and top awards from the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, and the Writers Guild. [See Robert Wise/Gangs of New York addendum below.]
Chartier, who is one of the Iraq War drama&#8217;s Oscar-nominated producers along with Greg Shapiro, director Kathryn Bigelow,  and journalist-turned-screenwriter [...]]]></description>

Julie Harris, Claire Bloom in The Haunting (top); The Village People in Can&#8217;t Stop the Music (bottom)

&#34;Out at the Pictures&#34; at London&#8217;s bfi Southbank:

 Robert Wise&#8217;s horror-house classic The Haunting (1963), starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn
Nancy Walker&#8217;s costly box-office disaster Can&#8217;t Stop the Music (1980), starring a rollerblading Steve Guttenberg (in some tight, tight shorts that would  get him arrested today for indecent underexposure), Valerie Perrine, and The Village People

The Haunting is one the best horror movies ever made. Julie Harris is sensational, and Claire Bloom is almost as good in a less showy role &#8212; a Lesbian. Now, who&#8217;s that knocking at the door?
Can&#8217;t Stop the Music would have been better had the [...]]]></description>

THE LIMEY &#8211; Part I
Aside from memory, there are superbly rendered details that distill the characters: Wilson radiates  affection for Eduardo’s help in tracking down Valentine by fondly calling him  Sancho (as in Panza). All of these things &#8212; along with Eduardo’s and Elaine’s  motivations, and the portrayal of the relationship between the hitmen &#8212; work well. In fact, they work so well  precisely because there are no specifics, but generalities sharply   etched so that the viewer ‘feels,’ as well as understands, the motivations  and relationships. That allows the viewer to feel what goes on inside Wilson, thus creating a stronger identification with him than would be  gotten were all things laid [...]]]></description>

Robert Mitchum in Charles Laughton&#8217;s The Night of the Hunter

Via Rogerebert.com:
&#34;He [Robert Mitchum] was my favorite movie star, and my favorite interview. He would tell you anything. He fearlessly maligned his directors, co-stars, even actors he had never worked with. ([Steve] McQueen? &#8216;He doesn&#8217;t bring much to the party.&#8217;) He was once called &#8216;the embodiment of film noir,&#8217; and that was about right.
&#34;In &#8216;From the Archives&#8217; this week, I&#8217;m reprinting four of the seven or eight interviews I did with Mitch. The first three take place between 1969 and 1971, during and after he made Ryan&#8217;s Daughter. The fourth is at a tribute some 20 years later. You get a sense of his irreverence, his refusal to take himself seriously, [...]]]></description>
