It started with Douglas Trumbull." said Mamut, pointing to a photo of the Oscar-winning film director and special effects supervisor responsible for many of the effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and other films, as well as effects for a number of theme park rides. Upon moving to Berkshire County, Mamut took on projects for other films, including Starship Troopers and The Matrix with the production firm Mass.Illusion, and Borisova worked both independently and in concert with studios, including Out of Hand Animation of Great Barrington and Suspended Animation Studios, a claymation, stop motion, and mixed media design and production house in Lenox.
Composer and conductor John Williams doesn't have to work. He's the most successful composer alive, with more 100 film scores to his credit -- ranging from "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" to the "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" series. He's 78, been nominated for 45 Oscars, won 21 Grammys and earned a lot of money. But Williams hardly takes vacations. He's so busy that he was especially delighted when he was able to schedule another visit to Heinz Hall to conduct the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in November 2010. Then, back trouble forced him to reschedule.
Stars will glitter, mists will glow and Darth Vader will glower in The Victory this weekend for performances of Sci-Fi Night, Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra's final Pops performances of the season.

Remakes. How much longer must we endure brain-dead rip-offs of fine fare from the days of yore? Included, in recent years, is warmed-over garbage such as "The Wolfman," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Ocean's Eleven," "Shaft," "Titanic," "War of the Worlds," "The Longest Yard," "3:10 to Yuma" and "The Italian Job," ad nauseam. Musical scores. Some readers may remember when the musical background for big-screen films had you humming it when you left the theater. Think the gorgeous 1944 version of "Phantom of the Opera"; 194Ts "Captain from Castile"; 1950's "Young Man With a Horn"; 1951*8 "Rawhide"; 1961'e "OneEyed Jacks"; 1964's "Goldfinger"; and, of course, "Tara's Theme" from 1939's all-time classic "Gone With the Wind.

One of Hollywood's great political thrillers, "All the President's Men," and a science-fiction classic, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," lead an impressive list of Blu-ray releases. All the President's Men" ($34.99, Warner Brothers) focuses on the Watergate burglary investigation that eventually would end President Nixon's administration. When the break-in occurred, it didn't cause much of a stir among most of the news media. However, Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) thought there was more to it.
[Steve McQueen] soared to popularity in the '60s with "The Magnificent Seven" (I960); "The War Lover" (1962); "The Great Escape," "Love with the Proper Stranger" and "Soldier in the Rain" (1963); "Baby, the Rain Must Fall" (1965); "Nevada Smith" ( 1966); and 'The Thomas Crown Affair" and "Bullitt" 11968), for which he did his own dangerous stunt driving. In 1966, his shattering work in "The Sand Pebbles" earned an Academy Award nomination. In the '70s, McQueen scored as a rodeo rider in "Junior Bonner" (1972); a stunning, Oscar-worthy performance in "Papillion" ( 1973 >; and as a fire chief with [Paul Newman] in "The Towering Inferno" (1974). Ironically, he turned-down the Robert Redford role opposite Newman in the 1969 smashhit "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - reportedly becau...

Formar parte de la carrera a los Oscar, del "juego", "funciona", indica [Scott Feinberg]. "Lo que Mo'nique se ha negado a hacer desde el principio, promocionar el filme, demuestra una actitud contra todo el proceso algo desagradable. La gente está buscando una razón para aplaudirla, y ella lo está haciendo difícil". Si es una de las dos primeras, no van a ganar muchos premios, porque los filmes que dependen de los actores, el director y el guión, no cuentan con el apoyo de los apartados técnicos. Si Avatar gana, el resultado será similar al de Titanic. La diferencia es que Avatar es una cinta de ciencia ficción y Titanic fue un drama. Los miembros de la Academia, históricamente, premian dramas, no películas fantásticas. The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind o ...
