A CONVERSATION WITH TODD HAYNES AND CHRISTINE VACHON ON “CAROL”

A CONVERSATION WITH TODD HAYNES AND CHRISTINE VACHON ON “CAROL” Director Todd Haynes and his producing partner Christine Vachon have been working together for twenty years now through her production company Killer Films. Their films, including Far From Heaven and Velvet Goldmine, have been celebrated by critics and moviegoers for their depiction of gay and lesbian themes. They were recently in Minneapolis when the Walker Art Center presented a retrospective of their work together. It opened with a special screening of their new film, Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. It’s based off the book The Price of Salt, the second book by Patricia HighsmithRead More →

My Criterion Collection: DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993)

DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993) Writer/Director: Richard Linklater Starring: Jason London, Shawn Andrews, Rory Cochrane, Joey Lauren Adams, Parker Posey, Anthony Rapp, Adam Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Sasha Jenson, Matthew McConaughey, Wiley Wiggins, Marissa Ribisi Truth be told I watched Dazed and Confused for the first time just a few weeks ago. The film has received a cult classic status, yet somehow I let it slip through the cracks. One of the first questions I had was that if I watch a movie in 2015 that was made in 1993 that was set in 1976, does it at all feel dated? Absolutely not! There isRead More →

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 2014 OSCARS ROUNDTABLE: THE ACTORS               The Hollywood Reporter offers insightful roundtable discussions with some of the best talent working in the business.

They discuss playing real life characters, the stereotypes behind British actors versus American actors, and Timothy Spall informs the group of a phantom pooper that may be lurking around the National Theater. Enjoy! The Actors Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game Ethan Hawke, Boyhood MichaelRead More →

A ROUNDTABLE INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR BENNETT MILLER

A ROUNDTABLE INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR BENNETT MILLER           On November 5, 2014, I had the opportunity to take part in a roundtable interview with Academy Award nominated director, Bennett Miller. His previous films, Capote and Moneyball both received critical acclaim, and I would not be surprised if his latest film, Foxcatcher, follows in their footsteps by garnering multiple Oscar nominations. The film is based on the bizarre true story of millionaire philanthropist John du Pont (Steve Carell) who invites gold medal wrestlers Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) to his lavish estate to train for the 1988Read More →
