Before we get into this week's releases I thought I would alert you to an upcoming 50% off Criterion Collection titles at Barnes and Nobles beginning on November 10 and running for two weeks. The full details, and a $5 off coupon, can be found in the DVD Talk forums.
Wings of Desire (Criterion Collection) This is a huge week for major title releases on Blu-ray as Criterion's release of Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire is just the first of three titles I reviewed and most likely blew my word count for the next two weeks trying to get all of my thoughts squared away.
As for this title specifically, it was my first time seeing it and as it played on and on I began to enjoy it more and more. However, if you read my lengthy review, you will »

Blu-ray Review: Howards End (Criterion Collection)
3 November 2009 3:30 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
My experience with Merchant/Ivory Productions is limited to say the least as Howards End now marks the second film of theirs I have seen, with A Room With a View being the other. While elegantly made, A Room With a View didn't move me that much, but I can say Howards End did a lot to squelch my fears it too would bore me more than engage me. Criterion brings Howards End to Blu-ray following their previous two-disc DVD release back in 2005, and while the only new feature is a video appreciation of the late producer Ismail Merchant by director James Ivory, this is a film ripe for high definition.
Based on the novel by E.M. Forster, Howards End takes a look at class divisions in Edwardian England and the inheritance of England by the working/lower class. The film centers on the well-to-do Wilcox family and the relationship »

Howard’S End Criterion Blu-ray Review
27 October 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
To American audiences, the late producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory are best known for their trio of E.M. Forster adaptations - which is telling for careers spanning 40 years and nearly 30 films together (almost all with writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala), making their Forster output roughly ten percent of their body of work. But then again, the names “Merchant and Ivory” are a sort of cinematic shorthand used to denote British films about boring people. My review of Howard’s End after the jump.
That’s not fair, it’s shorthand for particular literary works set at the turn of the century that depict the British class system in all of its repressive reputation, making it impossible for anyone to express their true feelings. To be fair, M&I’s Forster adaptations have been because of their most successful entries, with both A Room with a View and Howard’s »

tMF Talkback: Jane Campion's Bright Star 'not so stellar' says IndieWire - a fair analysis?
20 September 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
I rely heavily on INDIEWire when it comes to indie news for obvious reasons. Their Box Office reports are always insightful, up-to-date and worth a fair amount of time to look over and analyze. However, their latest report which focused on Jane Campion's latest movie - Bright Star - appeared to be unfair in their analysis of its Box office performance, say people related to the movie, in particular Bob Berney (who together with Bill Pohlad has bought Us rights to Jane Campion's Bright Star.)
- - -
- - - One portion of the article which is considered the point of contention reads:
"Star"‘s opening does not fare well against Campion's other films. On 7, 2 and 6 screens respectively, "The Portrait of a Lady," "Holy Smoke" and "In The Cut" each averaged between $15,000 and $17,000, while "The Piano" debut to a whopping $37,854 per its four theaters back in November »

Before There Were Websites... (Pt 2)
10 September 2009 7:10 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
...there were scrapbooks (prev. pt 1)
Let's continue that silly reveal of my "Movies of the Eighties" scrapbook. I'm still hoping to locate the "Movie Stars of the Eighties" companion volume in which I ranked all the actors and actresses of the decade. Wouldn't that be a Rotfl experience? If I can find it I will share, despite the loss of dignity it will surely occasion.
Behold! To your left is the tv guide cover that started it all. I guess it wasn't an actual TV Guide as my personal mythology has always relayed but whatever television magazine thingie was inserted into the Detroit Free Press back in the day. That cover right there started my whole Oscar obsession -- look how worn, damaged and fingered it is. I thumbed through it so many times. What is this naked gold man they call Oscar??? This cover unlocked my latent awards mania. »

The Delightfully Prickly Julian Sands
3 August 2009 2:13 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
On the screen, Julian Sands is known for a wide spectrum of roles that make the most of his seemingly contradictory mixture of glowering, antihero intensity and ethereal leading man looks. On the telephone, he presents an equally formidable hybrid: Sands has got delightfully prickly down to an art. The British-born actor, who began his film career in "The Killing Fields" in 1984 and broke through the next year as George Emerson in "A Room With A View," has worked steadily in film and television for the last 25 years, starring in cult classics like "Warlock" and working with directors like David Cronenberg, Mike Figgis and Dario Argento, and gaining a television following with roles on shows like "24." Currently, Sands is starring as expat actor Reg Hunt in IFC's upcoming miniseries "Bollywood Hero." I spoke with him about his career, what sparks his interest in a role, and what audiences want from a golf movie. »
