March 31 Film director Dassin dies in Athens aged 96Jules Dassin, the American who directed the film "Never on Sunday" and was married to the late Greek actress and culture minister Melina Mercouri, died in an Athens hospital after a short illness on Monday aged 96.
"Greece grieves the loss of a rare human being, an
important creator and a true friend," Greek Prime Minister
Costas Karamanlis said in a statement. "His passion, energy,
fighting spirit and nobility will never be forgotten."
Blacklisted in the United States in the 1950s, he fled to
Europe, where he met the young, larger-than-life Greek actress
at the Cannes film festival and never looked back. Born in Connecticut on December 18 1911, Dassin began working as an actor and theatre producer before becoming assistant to film director Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. He was hailed as a bright talent with his first films in the 1940s but his career froze in 1952, when he was named in testimony to the House of Representatives Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) as a member of Hollywood's "communist faction."

Angry "Star Wars" fans,
aggrieved about editing changes to an upcoming Weinstein Co.
comedy inspired by the sci-fi franchise, picketed theaters
playing the studio's latest film, with both sides claiming some
sort of victory. Protesters, organized by a fan group calling itself the 501st, showed up in "Star Wars" gear on Friday at AMC Theatres in New York and Los Angeles that were playing "Superhero Movie." They want to draw attention to the fate of "Fanboys," about four diehard "Star Wars" fans who break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in order to see "The Phantom Menace" on the eve of its release. The film was originally set for the release last August, but a cancer storyline worried Weinstein, which shot a second version of the film. Fans were outraged.

tablet and react to the fighting. Press reporters and photographers surrounding

For Fred Thompson, playing a commander in chief is a lot easier than actually being one. The erstwhile Law & Order prosecutor turned failed Republican presidential candidate is apparently plotting a return to acting, and has signed with Tinseltown's William Morris Agency to acquire future film and television roles on his behalf. Just six months ago, Thompson was the darling of conservatives, who were eager to see the folksy ex-senator from Tennessee with the gruff voice and sharp tongue unify their party the way another former actor-turned-politico, Ronald Reagan, led Republicans to victory more than a quarter of a century ago.

Resources for `Drunk Enough' puts a metaphor on stageNEW YORK - Talk about the need for couples counseling. "Drunk Enough to Say I Love You?" may be a great title, but Caryl Churchill's two-character relationship drama is more metaphor than play. This stylized, elliptical evening of conversation, which opened Sunday at the Public Theater, is awash in pointed, pingpong dialogue: single words or short phrases that ricochet between two men as they examine, with gradually diminishing returns, what they mean to each other.

They had lots of conversations about music which is another one of Billy’s passions. Craig had family that worked at “the film studios” so “show business” people were not unusual to him. Some students would stare a lot at Billy or call him Will Robinson. Billy and Craig would laugh and joke about it sometimes. Occasionally, Angela who played Penny on the series would pick up Billy after school in her new white Pontiac Trans Am. Angela would park away from people behind campus to avoid attention. Billy wanted to be treated like a normal everyday kid. Now and then Billy can be found at McCabes Music in Santa Monica. Resources for
Review: `Funny Games' not worth playingHere's what's funny about writer-director Michael Haneke's "Funny
Games," a nearly identical English-language remake of his own 1997
thriller set in Austria: Haneke wants to condemn Hollywood pop culture for reveling in gratuitous, graphic violence, and he intentionally places the most brutal acts of his sadistic hostage drama just outside the frame. Yet the violence is still there — it's completely germane to the story — and even though you can't see it, it still achieves the same sort of unsettling effect.

grim, but Hitler has yet to start his war and Hollywood
producer David O. Selznick has bigger things to worry about.
His adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's megaseller,
"Gone with the Wind," has gone awry.
Instead of letting the production go down in flames and take
his career with it, Selznick shuts it down, fires the
director and calls in two men to help save it: director
Victor Fleming, who is two weeks from a wrap on "The
Wizard of Oz" (where Munchkins are running amok), and
screenwriter Ben Hecht, script doctor extraordinaire. |
