There was a time when Blockbuster seemed to be King of the World in terms of dominating the home video rental market. The company became a dominant force back in the 1980s after mom and pop businesses developed and refined the concept of renting videos to consumers. (Remember when you had to pay an annual fee to the local video store in order to rent your favorite movies?) Blockbuster waited in the wings for small businessmen to iron out the kinks in the business, then swooped into neighborhoods and shut out the little guys. For years, consumers decided to "Make it a Blockbuster night", as the company's effective ad campaign promoted. However, in recent years, consumer habits have changed. It's often almost as cheap to buy a DVD as to rent it. Movie fanatics have libraries that are bursting through their walls and many can't even get to watching the ones they already own, let alone renting other movies. Most tragically for Blockbuster, the soaring popularity of downloading films has made it difficult for the company to maintain their "brick-and-mortar" neighborhood stores. Add to this toxic soup, the worst recession in memory - a time when additional funds are scraped together to pay for rent, mortgages and health care, not to rent the latest Adam Sandler comedy. Consequently, the company, which closed over 300 stores in America last year, plans to close an additional 500+ this year. They are not alone.

With most movie theaters catering to blockbuster releases, it's often hard for more discriminating audiences to find- or even learn about- smaller, less-heralded films. The New York Times reports that the Independent Film Channel is leading the charge in promoting high profile "premieres" of many great movies that you might otherwise be unaware of.

Thomas Hauerslev, one of Denmark's most notable film historians and preservationists, was instrumental in honoring the 125th anniversary of the birth of Karen Blixen, the cauthor of the novel Out of Africa, which was based on her own experiences. The book was turned into an Oscar-winning Sydney Pollack film. Over 350 people attended a rare 70mm showing of the movie on the lawn of the Blixen estate. Concidentally, the event also marked the 25th anniversary of the film. For full coverage visit Thomas' excellent web site In70mm.com
It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since the release of Clint Eastwood's nostalgic comedy Bronco Billy. The film was very underrated in its day and did disappointing business at the box-office. However, a new generation of critics look far more favorably on the movie. Click here to read memories of local residents about the time Eastwood came to Idaho to make the movie
Netflix, the American movie rental giant that has millions of monthly subscribers, has closed a deal that will allow it to make streaming videos of recent films from MGM, Lionsgate and Paramount available to customers. Although traditional DVD mail order rentals remain the basis of the company's business, Netflix sees rapid growth in streaming video- which also reduces their mailing costs. Click here for details
Michael Douglas' reprise of his Oscar-winning role in Wall Street may end up costing him a bundle. His ex-wife Diandra is suing her former spouse, saying she is entitled to compensation for the sequel directed by Oliver Stone. Her basis is a divorce agreement that says she can earn money from films Douglas did during the period in which they were married. Although their marriage ended in 2000, Diandra claims that the character of Gordon Gekko was originated in a film Douglas starred in while they were still wed, hence - the logic goes- she is entitled to share in his salary from the new movie. Douglas' lawyer says it's time for Diandra to leave his client alone and get on with her life. Neither Michael or Diandra Douglas appeared in court, opting to let their mouthpieces battle it out.

It's been 40 years since Paramount's screen adaptation of Erich Segal's besteller Love Story opened to smash business. Many critics called the slight story of a doomed love affair between two Harvard students sappy and out of touch with the cutting edge films being made at the time. The public didn't seem to listen. Not only did Love Story become one of the studio's top-grossing films of all time but it also scored seven major Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture. That was then, this is now. In recent years, a new Harvard tradition has taken place: screening the film to derisive comments from the student body. New York Times writer Thomas Vinciguerra explores this phenomenon, which is fun for some and distasteful to others - and he gets some comments from the movie's star Ali MacGraw. At the risk of getting kicked out of Sam Peckinpah Fan Society, I can say I've always liked the movie and still do- even though it makes Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory look edgy in comparison.

Sly Stallone's The Expendables managed to cling to the #1 spot at the weekend box-office, with a combined gross to date of $65 million in North America. The Julia Roberts film Eat Pray Love also held well. While neither film is shaping up as a blockbuster, they do indicate both stars still have an audience if they appear in the right type of movie. Not faring as well is the new Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy The Switch, which came in a dismal #8 with $8 million. For more click here
Despite contemplating pulling the plug on the project, Universal is pushing ahead to begin shooting a $200 million big screen adventure film based on the classic Hasbro board game Battleship. However, since the script calls for an alien invasion of earth- a concept never reflected in versions of the game- one wonders why they even bothered to get the rights to the original Hasbro concept. Universal is starved for hits and is rolling the dice on this. The budget will go primarily on special effects as the film will have low-wattage stars and director. The studio is hoping it has the next Jaws, but industry insiders are wary because Universal is the same studio that thought Waterworld would be a sure-fire hit. If this doesn't work, we understand Universal will try to lure Matt Damon into starring in a $500 million big screen version of Pick Up Stix. Click here for more
For many years the UK Film Council has provided incentives for major film productions to shoot in the United Kingdom. However, in the wake of severe budget cuts, Prime Minister David Cameron's administration has proposed doing away with the Council. This has outraged many notable actors and filmmakers who say that the costs of administering the Council are dwarfed by the money major movies bring into the UK. Among the critics: Clint Eastwood, who has personally written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bitterly oppose the decision. Click here for more

In the last week Bill Cosby has been busy with an unusual project- proving he is alive. Internet pranksters have passed around the rumor that the iconic comedian was no longer of this world. At first Cos took it all in stride, but he's now using every media outlet possible to prove that rumors of his demise are premature. Of course in an age in which the general public seems to believe every crazy conspiracy theory, the odds are against Cosby convincing most people he isn't really dead. Click here for more
Paul Reubens, better known as Pee Wee Herman, tells Playboy that he has proof that he was innocent of charges that he was masturbating in an adult movie house - an act that led to his arrest in 1991. The incident sidelined his career and made him the butt of endless jokes for late night comics. However, Reubens says, "Had we gone to trial, we had ready an expert from the Masters and
Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research
on masturbation the institute had never found one person who masturbated
with his or her nondominant hand. I'm right-handed, and the police
report said I was jerking off with my left hand. That would have been
the end of the case right there, proof it couldn't have been me." The mind reels at what the courtroom coverage would have been like... We're more intrigued by the fact that someone can get paid for 30 years to immerse themselves in masturbation. Man, did we pick the wrong career! For more click here

This won't mean much to international readers but please bear with us. With former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in the news again, having gotten a mistrial on 23 of the 24 federal indictments against him yesterday, it's time we pointed out a significant fact that we ran some time ago. Blago, as he is known to one and all, is quite possibly the most embarrassing and goofy American politician of our time (and that's saying something!). He fails to realize that his trademark tidal wave-style haircut has made him a national laughing stock. However, we did notice the similarity to the "do" worn by actor William Devane. The only difference is that Devane won't have to worry about how to maintain the style inside a federal prison, as Blago was still convicted on one count.
James Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Rob Wade have been hired to write a new international conspiracy thriller set in the Middle East.

Distinguished British actress Emma Thompson is drafting a screenplay for a remake of the classic musical My Fair Lady, which won the Best Picture Oscar in 1964. It's controversial enough to be remaking a film that many consider near-perfect, but Thompson has ruffled feathers by assaulting the legend of Audrey Hepburn, saying her performance as Eliza Doolittle was over-praised and that the beloved Hepburn couldn't act. She attributes the film's success to others, saying: "It was (costumer) Cecil Beaton's
designs and (Hepburn's co-star) Rex Harrison that gave it its extraordinary
quality. I don't do Audrey Hepburn. I think that she's a guy thing ... It's high
time that the extraordinary role of Eliza was reinterpreted, because it's a very
fantastic part for a woman." In fact, Hepburn's voice was dubbed by Marni Nixon for the song sequences- a trait that was common in those days but which did muddy the effectiveness of a an actor's performance, especially in a musical. Still, the general consensus is that Hepburn's work in the non-singing sequences was marvelous. Thompson says she's bringing a feminist viewpoint to the remake. Although she is to be commended for her honesty, she's setting herself up for a major fall by comparing her reworking of a classic as a distinct improvement. Click here for more

Not long ago, Sylvester Stallone was relegated to the hell of "direct-to-video" feature films. However, his well received return to the Rocky and Rambo franchises yielded decent, if unspectacular box-office. The question has been whether Sly had any other arrows in his quiver other than his most reliable characters. The release of his star-packed adventure film The Expendables seems to prove that he has. The film opened #1 at the weekend box-office with $36 million. Those are not blow-away numbers by industry standards, but given the fact that August represents the dog days of summer movie releases, it is enough to demonstrate Stallone has got some of his mojo back. Also performing well: Julia Roberts' chick flick Eat Pray Love, which follows her disappointing run at the boxoffice. Click here for more

The fine line between politics and show business has been blurred once again - and this time involves an icon of retro pop culture. The Obama administration has enlisted a heavyweight talent to promote changes in America's health care laws that they say will add immeasurably to benefits for senior citizens. Andy Griffith, the 84 year-old comedy legend, appears in the ad, speaking directly to seniors and assuring them that the changes coming will aid them substantially. For the benefit of our many non-US readers, some context may be needed as to why the Obama administration would think that a social medical program for senior citizens would need defending by a high profile entertainer. The cause extends back to last summer's contentious debates over the President's health care bill, which was ultimately approved by the slimmest of margins. Many aspects of Obama's health care plan don't kick in until 2014,
though some benefits such as prohibiting insurance companies from
dropping children with pre-existing conditions have already been put in
place. During the height of the debates, Sarah Palin warned seniors that the plan would ultimately result in older citizens having to appear before "death panels" that would judge whether they qualified for life-saving medical treatments. Most prominent Republican officials quickly distanced themselves from this notion and the White House initially deferred comment, thinking the very idea was too absurd to respond to. However, Palin's tactics proved successful and even today, millions of seniors are convinced they will have to appear before a "death panel". Hence, the Obama administration's enlistment of the folksy Griffith to allay fears about the new health plan. Griffith doesn't get political in the spot and doesn't address any controversies, opting instead to tell seniors that their coverage will be enhanced. However, the ad is stirring up a hornet's nest among conservatives who say the administration has inappropriately spent $700,000 on what they regard as a propaganda campaign. The White House is dismissing calls to remove the spots from the air. (Griffith was not paid for his appearance.)

Back in saner times, moviegoers were treated to newsreels and cartoons prior to the main feature. Today, we pay a king's ransom to sit through God-awful reels of the same dopey ads we see on TV. Yes, there's nothing quite like a mood-enhancer when you're anxiously awaiting an Oscar-nominated film - and nothing enhances that mood like a teaser featuring a rap artist screaming about Coca Cola. However, the picture may be getting brighter. On the IFC web site, writer Matt Singer points out that a long-dormant staple of the movie-going past is making a comeback: the short-form cartoon.

Back in 1957, Laurence Olivier co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in the romantic comedy The Prince and the Showgirl. One of Olivier's staffers, Colin Clark, was assigned to look after the mercurial actress for a week on location in England. Clark's diaries of those days form the basis of the new movie My Week With Marilyn, with Michelle Williams playing Monroe. The scenario sounds like a British version of My Favorite Year. Kenneth Branagh is rumored to be interested in playing Olivier, which would be a relief. Given some of the dumb casting decisions that have taken place in recent years, we were fearing they might choose Adam Sandler. For more click here
Many of his fans may not realize that Leonard Nimoy's real passion is not acting, it's photography.

City of Ruins is an ambitious 5 minute documentary film that is gaining high praise after its debut in Poland. A team of filmmakers spent two years creating a virtual flight over the city, using archival footage to demonstrate the level of wholesale destruction in Warsaw that followed the German invasion in September 1939. That incursion marked the beginning of WWII and Poland suffered terribly under Nazi occupation, in part because Adolf Hitler resented the nation's doomed-but-valiant resistance. In 1944, the city was virtually destroyed in reprisal for the Warsaw Uprising which saw hopelessly outnumbered Jewish underground fighters wreak heavy casualties on German forces, despite having only limited armaments. The film is being presented in 3-D in hopes of educating new generations about the extent of Polish suffering during the war. For more click here

The Film Experience web site has an insightful look at Richard Brooks' classic 1960 film Elmer Gantry which won a Best Actor Oscar for Burt Lancaster's incredible performance as the charismatic conman/preacher with a passion for sex and profit. The film was eons ahead of its time in predicting the popularity of scoundrels who use religion to dupe weak-willed "sinners" out of their hard-earned money by promising redemption for them. In the contemporary age, Gantry clones have used the power of television as a tool to reach masses of people in a way that old time crooks like old Elmer could never dream of. Today, the use of religion as a method to con the gullible and the desperate is probably at an all-time high, thus making Brooks' film more relevant than ever. Click here to read.

The Hollywood Reporter says that California has lost huge sums of revenue, jobs and salaries in recent years due to failure to provide financial incentives for major film productions to shoot in the state. Consequently, other states and nations that provided these incentives have seen major films shot in their locales. The result has been a major exodus of entertainment-related jobs from California, laying the ground work for Hollywood to possibly lose its luster as the center of film industry. Click here for more
M. Night Shyamalan has a fair-sized hit with his latest film The Last Airbender, but it has come at a cost. Critics say that the once-innovative director has traded his innovative ideas for large paychecks and has ground out highly unimaginative films in recent years. In other words, a directorial version of Nicholas Cage. Airbender got the kind of fiercely negative reviews that would make Ed Wood seem like Orson Welles. At a Mexican press conference for the film, he responds to a critic who accuses him of selling out by saying, "I think if I thought like you I'd kill myself. Everything you said is
the opposite of my instinct as an artist. The way you just thought, I
literally would kill myself." Shyamalan's flak tries to cover for the tasteless answer by fruitlessly trying to engage the audience in a round of applause. Click here to watch

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert denounced video games in a recent blogpost and was inundated with thousands of complaints. Ebert's opinion that video games can never be considered art caused a back-lash among gamers who got him to apologize (well, sort of.) Ebert admitted he should not have commented on video games since he is largely unfamiliar with them. He also conceded that, to fans of the format, something approaching art can be achieved. However, he says he will never be among them. Ironically, Ebert and his former At the Movies co-host Gene Siskel, would occasionally play video games on their show.

Here's a tidbit to give conservatives who always complain that the left wing controls all content of Hollywood films: one of the industry's leading liberals, producer/director Aaron Sorkin is bringing the sex scandal relating to fellow liberal John Edwards to the big screen. The project is a rat's nest of "he-said, he-said" that's based on a book by Edwards' former aide Andrew Young. Both men are admitted liars, but that only makes their sordid tale even more compelling. Edwards was the former senator and candidate for Vice President and President who ran on a squeaky clean image, espousing family values. That is, until it was revealed that he was having an affair with a documentary film maker, while his wife Elizabeth was coping with battling terminal cancer. Edwards litany of lies kept building until he recently admitted his lover gave birth to their child. Young was embroiled early in the scandal by willingly pretending he had fathered the child - and had his wife's consent to do so! Adding to the rogue's gallery atmosphere is Elizabeth Edwards, the sympathetic victim who has since split from her husband. Elizabeth so desired to be the First Lady that she attempted to cover up John's infidelities - even though she realized that if he had been elected president, the scandal could have brought down the Democratic party and the presidency itself. It's rare for a person committed to a political ideology like Sorkin is to shed the spotlight on the sordid aspects of someone he once considered a viable candidate - but then there is no aspect of this scenario that isn't perplexing. Here's a suggestion for the title: Liar, Liar - oh, drat- we just remembered Jim Carrey already used that one. Click here for more
Edward Norton, the most recent actor to play The Incredible Hulk onscreen, won't be portraying the not-so-jolly green giant in the film adaptation of Marvel Comics' The Avengers about an all-star team of superheroes. Although Norton fancies himself a purist when it comes to his love and respect for the Hulk character, Marvel obviously feels the temperamental actor was just too much of a problem on the last film. The company took pains to issue a statement that doesn't leave much doubt as to why they intend to cast another actor in the role, citing their desire to have a more "collaborative" person as part of the production.

We generally don't dwell on average celebrity scandals but even by sordid Hollywood standards, the Mel Gibson affair continues to shock and appall. Radar On Line has released new information that alleges Gibson not only beat up his lover Oksana Grigorieva in front of her terrified 12 year-old son, but also drew a pistol and threatened to kill them both along with himself. Gibson laced his threats with a string of shocking profanities and at one point prior to the confrontation, so terrified a nanny that the woman took Gibson's infant daughter and hid in a bedroom. Gibson is now under police investigation. His few defenders have alleged that Grigorieva is exaggerating the situation in order to wring maximum dollars from the Oscar-winner, but as the drip-drip-drip of incriminating evidence and audio tapes becomes public, Gibson finds himself increasingly isolated. One thing is certain: this is shaping up as one of the most notorious film industry scandals in history and, unless some major evidence emerges that negates the allegations against him, industry pundits are predicting that Gibson's career has been irreparably damaged.
