After 45 years, Wilbert Jones walked out of a Louisiana prison a free man on Wednesday.
Now 65, Jones was just 19 when he was arrested and subsequently sentenced to life without parole.
But despite spending the majority of his life in prison for a crime he did not commit, Jones said he harbors no grudges, declaring “God is so good,” as he was released, according to the Associated Press.
Jones’ rape conviction was overturned by State District Judge Richard Anderson, who said Jones’ case was “weak at best.”
“Freedom. After more than 45 years and 10 months. That’s going through my mind,” Jones said,...

When, oh when, will documentary filmmakers — especially those on a limited budget — learn that dramatic re-creations almost never work? The lesson has not been imparted to co-directors Haofang Shen and Richard L. Anderson, whose otherwise compelling film about the atrocities suffered by American POWs in World War II is marred by cheesy reenactments that give their film the feel of a high school educational video. Nonetheless, the powerful testimonies delivered by the elderly survivors give Behind Bayonets and Barbed Wires an important reason for being.

The Star Trek franchise will be 50 years old this September. It’s one of the most popular and enduring of all TV and film franchises, still going strong nearly 50 years after its debut in 1966. A third film of the rebooted series is in the works. Cinelinx looks at the ever-popular sci-fi property as it warps into its 50th year.
Star Trek, a show that didn’t do very well in the ratings when it first debuted, has become a multi-media monster. It has gone from television to cartoons, novels, comic books, video games and films. Many of the character names have become an iconic part of pop-culture. The real-life space shuttle Enterprise was named in honor of the space vessel from Star Trek. The whole concept of the sci-fi convention was begun by the fan-created ‘Trek’ conventions of the early seventies. Few franchises can claim to have had the impact...

What you see here are some early concept designs for the Collector's museum in James Gunn's and Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy. There were a lot of cool little easter eggs hidden in this museum, many of them pointed out in a video that you can watch here. These illustrations give us a better idea of the scope of the museum. The art was created by Richard Anderson (via: Cbm), and it's always interesting to see the art that led to the final designs used in the film. ...

London, Dec. 19: With airlines welcoming the move to allow 'offline use' of electronic gadgets during take-off and landings, Us airline Delta has reportedly clearly said no to the proposal of lifting the ban on making phone calls during flights.
Delta boss Richard Anderson said that the airline will ban mobile phone calls on planes even if Us regulators allow the technology to be used in-flight.
According to the BBC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently proposed that it would consider lifting the ban on in-flight calls.
Anderson said that a majority of Delta's customers who were surveyed indicated that allowing phone calls on flight would be a disruption to the travel experience, adding that even.

Kirk Douglas movies: The Theater of Larger Than Life Performances Kirk Douglas, a three-time Best Actor Academy Award nominee and one of the top Hollywood stars of the ’50s, is Turner Classic Movies’ "Summer Under the Stars" featured star today, August 30, 2013. Although an undeniably strong screen presence, no one could ever accuse Douglas of having been a subtle, believable actor. In fact, even if you were to place side by side all of the widescreen formats ever created, they couldn’t possibly be wide enough to contain his larger-than-life theatrical emoting. (Photo: Kirk Douglas ca. 1950.) Right now, TCM is showing Andrew V. McLaglen’s 1967 Western The Way West, a routine tale about settlers in the Old American Northwest that remains of interest solely due to its name cast. Besides Douglas, The Way West features Robert Mitchum, Richard Widmark, Lola Albright, and 21-year-old Sally Field in her The Flying Nun days.

Eleanor Parker today: Beautiful as ever in Scaramouche, Interrupted Melody Eleanor Parker, who turns 91 in ten days (June 26, 2013), can be seen at her most radiantly beautiful in several films Turner Classic Movies is showing this evening and tomorrow morning as part of their Star of the Month Eleanor Parker "tribute." Among them are the classic Scaramouche, the politically delicate Above and Beyond, and the biopic Interrupted Melody, which earned Parker her third and final Best Actress Academy Award nomination. (Photo: publicity shot of Eleanor Parker in Scaramouche.) The best of the lot is probably George Sidney’s balletic Scaramouche (1952), in which Eleanor Parker plays one of Stewart Granger’s love interests — the other one is Janet Leigh. A loose remake of Rex Ingram’s 1923 blockbuster, the George Sidney version features plenty of humor, romance, and adventure; vibrant colors (cinematography by Charles Rosher); an elaborately staged climactic swordfight; and tough dudes...

Last week the Jerry Sandusky trial was graphic and disturbing, as young men took the stand as prosecution witnesses to detail the horrific sexual abuse they accuse Sandusky of perpetrating against them as boys.
This week, the trial is bound to get weird. The last prosecution witness has taken the stand and now it's the turn of the Sandusky defense team, led by Joe Amendola, to present its case. Amendola suggested in his opening statement that Jerry Sandusky himself will take the stand, a suggestion that he reinforced last Thursday.
"Did I make an opening statement?" the 63-year-old Amendola quipped to reporters when asked abot Sandusky testifying. "I'm Catholic. I don't lie."
Apparently, Amendola lacks the sense of irony that would have kept him from invoking his Catholicism in a sexual abuse case.
The defense called its first witnesses today, two former coaching colleagues of Sandusky's who spoke of Sandusky's...

Is there something about classic movie fans that makes us more obsessive than your average cinemagoer? Does the fact that we often have to search for years for that obscure Western or noir on DVD mean we're more appreciative when we finally see it? Would most of us rather watch a 1960s Bond movie at the multiplex than a modern CGI-fest?
Those are some of the questions I asked myself as I left my home (and DVD collection) in the UK to fly 5,000 miles to the third annual TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood over the weekend of 12-15 April 2012. A gathering of thousands of movie aficionados from around the globe, this spin-off from the Us cable TV channel promises attendees that they'll see some of the best films ever made, often in the company of the people who made them, in the way they were meant to be seen.

Westwood - The master of sensual European cinema golden years have a tint of blue. UCLA just hosted retrospective of Radley Metzger’s films. His most important films are being released on Blu-ray. He’s about to take the director’s chair as he approaches 83.
His masterwork Camille 2000 was just released Blu-ray with an extended version from Cult Epics. The 1969 update of Dumas’ The Lady of the Camellias takes place in an esoteric Italy. The restored high definition transfer gives a detailed look at that magical time. The Party Favors had a chance to chat with Radley Metzger about the release.

I watched Martin Ritt's The Long, Hot Summer (1958) hoping - like Joanne Woodward's Clara Varner - to get lost in Paul Newman's dazzling blue eyes. Sadly, Orson Welles' prosthetic nose proves to be the major distraction in this would-be steamy melodrama filled with mindless chatter and annoying Deep Southern accents.
In 1958, Newman was arguably at the height of his matinée idol beauty. It was the year he played Billy the Kid in Arthur Penn's The Left Handed Gun and also impressed as the alcoholic Brick Pollitt in Richard Brooks' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Like the formerly mentioned Tennessee Williams play, The Long, Hot Summer is set in Mississippi and features an overbearing patriarch who's obsessed with perpetuating his dynasty.
Burl Ives' Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof did at least have that gaggle of "no-neck monsters" to coo over.

It’s always sad when an older show goes to become a pop-culture touchstone for countless shows that followed (like the spin-off The Bionic Woman or even children’s cartoon Inspector Gadget), yet doesn’t have the quality to endure the aging process and stand up to future scrutiny. The Six Million Dollar Man has the iconic “We can rebuild him line” and that signature sound accompaniment for when leaping an incredible distance, but the storylines never really fleshed out to be too deep or intricately plotted. Expectations for action/spy adventure serials had to meet a lower bar. In defense of the series, it easily exceeds the expectations for a series of its time, but in comparison to some of the better...

Happy birthday to Best Actress winner Joan Fontaine (Suspicion, 1941), also known as the second Mrs. DeWinter. She turns 93 years young today. What on earth was she thinking about when she won the Oscar. This photo to your left fascinates me on account of "who knows?" It seems so much more candid than many Oscar night photos.
I keep the following "still with us!" list, not from any morbid curiousity but from a genuine happiness that some legendary screen stars are still walking the earth even though most of them aren't walking the screens these days. This year has been rough with the losses so maybe I'm going to stop keep this list. My heart was in the right place! We want the following to know that their past accomplishments are acknowledged by new generations.
