When Paramount Pictures was finally absorbed by a conglomerate in 1966, it had been a long-running Hollywood powerhouse that was now contending with a new set of challenges.
Perfectly described by historianRobert Sklaras “the houseAdolph Zukorbuilt,”Paramountwas one of the first major studios. As its leader, Zukor set in motion both industrial vertical integration along with a carefully constructed machinery for curating and maintaining celebrity image. Though Zukor was no longer chairman of the board by the time Gulf + Western swept in to take over Paramount, the founding mogul’s influence still permeated the studio gates.
At a time when Hollywood was searching for a new identity — founding moguls were gone or largely retired, shattered self-censorship practices were making way for a modern ratings system, studios were being gobbled up by companies outside of the entertainment realm — Paramount managed to prevail in glorious fashion. Within a couple years,...

I think I can say this on behalf of the entire collective of reporters who cover television: Nothing makes us groan more than when a series star or producer refers to the setting as another “character” in their show.
And yet, I may have to temper my cynicism. Because in the era of prestige TV, often quite a bit of work and effort goes into making the show’s location pop — so much so that I’m almost as excited to watch the background as I am the action.
Could it be that the cliché is right? It certainly feels that way in some of this year’s Emmy contenders, much to the credit of the production designers and location scouts who make that happen. For example, watchingGiancarlo Espositotake control of his life through any means necessary inAMC’s “Parish” is powerful — but the fact that he...

Quentin Tarantino‘s movies have a lot in common withSteven Spielberg’sJaws,as they are all violent, funny, and intelligently crafted.Tarantinomay have gone too far by sayingJawswas once the greatest movie ever made. He contrastedJawswith films from an earlier generation.
Quentin Tarantino said ‘Jaws’ was so much better than every previous movie
In his 2022 book Cinema Speculation, theKill Billdirector had a lot to say about a certain movie about a giant shark. “WhenJawscame out in 1975 it might not have been the best film ever made,” he wrote. “But it was easily the best movie ever made. Nothing ever made before it even came close.”
Tarantino’s take is provocative.SpielbergreleasedJawsin 1975. By that point, many of the most widely beloved films of all time had come out, includingThe Wizard of Oz,The Ten Commandments,andThe Sound of Music.

My friendRobin Browne,who has died aged 82, was a cinematographer specialising in aerial photography and special effects. His was not a name in lights, but he consistently excelled without the razzmatazz of Hollywood. I doubt there is anyone who has seen one of his films and not marvelled at the skills and dangers involved.
He started out as a clapper boy in the late 1950s, and worked on dozens of distinguished films over the next five decades, as camera assistant, operator and as director of photography leading specialist units. A few titles give a flavour:Battle of Britain(1969);Catch 22(1970); the television seriesThe Adventures of Black Beauty(1972-74), on which he was camera operator for all 52 episodes; three Bond movies in the 1970s;A Bridge Too Far(1977);Krull(1983);A Passage to India(1984);The Jewel of the Nile(1985);King Kong Lives(1986);Gorillas in the Mist(1988); andGifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story(2009).

On September 15,Robert Downey Jr.will almost certainly take home his first Emmy as best supporting actor in a limited series for HBO’sThe Sympathizer.
It will be the latest coronation in a year of coronations for a star who is undisputedly one of our finest, and it will be difficult to begrudge; what Downey does inThe Sympathizerhits that sweet spot between “ridiculously entertaining” and “a whole lot of acting” that award-givers love.
But two things can be true: Downey’s performance inThe Sympathizercan be saluted as a dexterous feat of actorly gymnastics. At the same time, it’s the misplaced fulcrum that too often causes this seven-episode adaptation ofViet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to lose its tonal and narrative balance.
This version ofThe Sympathizeris still substantive and audacious, a slab of satire and deeply felt human tragedy that’s worthy of conversation and consideration,...

In a new two-part documentary forMGM+,legendary musicianPaul Simonreflects on his career, including details behind the breakup and falling out with his long-time musical partner,Art Garfunkel.“We were really best friends up until Bridge over Troubled Water,” Simon said (per People) in Part 1 of the doc, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon, which premiered on Sunday, March 17. “[Afterwards], it didn’t have the harmony of the friendship… that was broken.” The popular multi-time Grammy-winning folk duo grew up as high school friends in Forest Hills, New York, and rose to fame in the 1960s, recording countless hit singles and best-selling albums. However, by the late ’60s, the pair began drifting apart and officially broke up the band in 1970. Simon said Garkunfel’s transition into acting put a strain on their relationship, particularly when the former accepted a role in the movieCatch-22.“Artie said, ‘Yeah,...

“Satire is a dangerous game In Hollywood,”Billy Wilderonce observed. “It invites self-immolation.” Still, the satiric spirit looms large in many of this year’s buzzworthy movies: American Fiction,Poor Things,Saltburn,Air,The Holdoversand evenBarbie.
All mobilize satiric weaponry — humor, irony, even ridicule — in advancing their perspectives. The clever corporate barbs inBarbieare soothingly pink-coated, but by contrast the protagonist in American Fiction is a blunt and self-destructive novelist. His work supposedly is not satiric enough nor Black enough for him to register success.
Barbie was heralded at the Golden Globes while American Fiction was snubbed. The latter still earned the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival, a SAG Awards Cast nomination and a spot on the AFI’s Top 10 Films of 2023.
If Wilder were around to see this year’s slate, I think he’d admire the seditious scientist inPoor Things,...

Chicago – The seemingly middle-of-the-road character actorBob Balabanhas more to his legacy than just a ton of appearances from the 1960s to present in classic films and TV. His Chicago family were pioneers in film exhibition and the movie executive suite during the studio system in the early days of the history of film. It is in his DNA.
The amazing story of Chicago’s Balaban family began soon after they emigrated from Russia. His uncles formed a coalition withSam Katzto build theaters. The Balaban &Katzbrand meant the highest quality movie palaces eventually, the ultimate in the early 20th Century movie experience before television… two prominent theaters still standing are the city-symbolic Chicago Theatre and the still-closed-but-still-standing Uptown Theatre. Bob was born in Chicago, and his father built his favorite theatre icon (as told in the Podtalk below). For the final flourish, his uncleBarney Balaban...

As she strolls comfortably toward multiple Oscar nominations for “Barbie,”Greta Gerwigis on track to set several Academy Awards records tied to her age, gender and the movie’s financial success. In terms of more general achievements, perhaps the most impressive one in her reach is becoming the first filmmaker to have all of her initial three solo features contend for Best Picture. Over the past 95 years, many directors have had shots at earning that distinction and a few have come remarkably close, but none of their chances have been quite as strong as hers.
Since Gerwig did not produce her first two independently-directed films – “Lady Bird”(2017) and “Little Women”(2019) – and, per academy rules, cannot officially share in a “Barbie”Best Picture nomination due to her screen credit of “executive producer” (rather than the qualifying “producer” or “produced by” ), she does not and will not soon have any bids...

Francis Ford Coppola's bleak Vietnam War picture "Apocalypse Now"is not only one of the best films of 1979, but is handily one of the finest, most important films of its decade. UsingJoseph Conrad's 1899 novella "Heart of Darkness"as a template, Copolla transposed the book's action from the late 1800s Congo to the jungles of Cambodia, and, in so doing, exposed the madness and horror of the Vietnam War in harrowing, soul-hollowing terms. As Captain Willars (Martin Sheen) treks deeper and deeper into the chaos of the natural world -- drifting ever closer to the insane, cult-founding rogueColonel Kurtz(Marlon Brando) -- reality begins to dissipate. Eventually, madness and violence are all that remain, and war is reduced to its base function: brazen, meaningless destruction and cruelty. "Apocalypse Now"is a great, great film.

When the City of Los Angeles dubbed a square mile of North Hollywood the NoHo Arts District in 1992, the area was becoming home to an ever-increasing number of small theaters and art galleries, as well as dance, acting and film academies. The neighborhood gained even more cachet in 2000 as an attractive haunt for creatives when a new Metro subway stop opened, providing affordable transportation to the center of the neighborhood at Lankershim and Magnolia.
When the storied, family-ownedLaemmle Theatresarthouse chain opened the NoHo 7 in 2011, it brought even more arts street cred to the block. The theater doesn’t have the architectural glamor of downtown’s old movie palaces, but it quickly became a neighborhood favorite with its attractive blend of blockbusters and arthouse fare, film festivals and other indie events.
However, the beloved NoHo 7 may be gone by year end, sacrificed to keep the rest ofLaemmle’s theaters open.

“People used to say I had my finger on the pulse,”Paul SimontellsAlex Gibneyearly in his artfully composed documentary, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon. “I just have my finger out there and the pulse is running under it.” Either way, few people have had as central a role in American pop music and culture as Simon. Gibney, best-known for exposes includingThe Inventor,about Elizabeth Holmes’ tech-company fraud, and GoingClear,on Scientology, turns out to be the ideal director to explore Simon’s long, varied run.
Simon invited Gibney into his home studio in Wimberly, Texas, where the cameras watch him tinker with the sound on his latest album, Seven Psalms (released in May) and talk about his career, inspirations, aging and what the loss of hearing in his left ear has meant. With that album as an anchor, the film mostly flashes back and forth in time,...

Ellen Kurasis having a full-circle moment.
The celebrated cinematographer, who has worked for directors includingMartin Scorsese,Spike LeeandMichel Gondry,wanted to be a politically minded filmmaker likeCosta-Gavraswhen she was starting out, but found herself primarily working behind the camera for many years. With “Lee,” a Toronto premiere starringKate Winsletas famed World War II photographerLee Miller,she is finally making her debut as a feature film director.

Her work on the project is an outgrowth of a connection she made with Winslet as cinematographer on “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”At a bookstore, Kuras spotted a tome aboutMiller,and, taken by Winslet’s likeness to her,...

WhenRyan White’s phone jolted to life the morning of July 12, buzzing with texts and calls, the filmmaker wasn’t expecting it. Yes, it was Emmy nomination day, but no, he hadn’t counted on recognition for hisNetflixdocumentary aboutPamela Anderson.
Yet there it was, in black and white on theEmmys.comwebsite: For Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, Pamela,A Love Story,about the actress and former Playboy Playmate who swept from Canada onto television screens, magazine covers and scandal sheets in the 1990s.
“I think if you went back two and a half years or three years, whenever I first met Pamela, I think we would’ve both burst into laughter if you had told us that we were going make an Emmy-nominated film,” White says. “That was not the goal at all. And I don’t think either of us thought that was a possibility.

The reaction was always the same. During my high school days, I must have seen “Wait Until Dark”five times during its theatrical release.Audrey Hepburnwas appealing, of course, but the main attraction for me wasAlan Arkin’s chilling portrayal of a psycho sadist who, in the course of reclaiming a misdirected heroin shipment, terrorizes a blind woman in her apartment. Late in the 1967 thriller, the distressed damsel temporarily gets the upper hand by stabbing her tormentor. But as she walks away, the psycho leaps back into her kitchen and grabs her ankle.
