  Hollywood Outbreak — Authority: 554
  On this day in 1969, COLUMBIA PICTURES released MAROONED. Directed by JOHN STURGES, this B-movie with an A-list cast played on the paranoia that movies loved to use during the 60’s and early 70’s. To this day, MAROONED remains a great ‘matinee’ movie with a cast that features GREGORY PECK, RICHARD CRENNA, ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 527
  In the mood for an inspirational sports story? You won’t get it in this hard-edged, documentary style 1969 sports film starring Robert Redford (a star but not yet a superstar) as a reckless Olympic-level skier who is utterly selfish and cold-hearted. A pre-”French Connection” Gene Hackman is his coach, probably ...

• Is Gene Hackman done with movies?

  
  [CinemaRatty] Latest Articles — Authority: 169
  It’s been five years since a Gene Hackman movie came out. That would be the lame political comedy called Welcome To Mooseport in 2004. Hackman, of course, was a welcome respite from the rest of the movie. But since then, nothing. What to make of this? Hackman hasn’t officially sworn off movies through his agent ...

  The Canadian Cinephile's Reviews — Authority: 119
  Mel Brooks is responsible for two of the greatest comedy pictures of all time: Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein .

• Shelf Life: Downhill Racer

  
  Cinematical — Authority: 747
  Every once in a while (okay, usually in February and September) I find myself and my colleagues lamenting the fact that movies just arent as good as they used to be. Looking back at the sheer volume of venerated classics from decades past, such a decree seems pretty indisputable. But the truth is that Hollywood has ...

• Downhill Racer (Criterion Collection) – DVD Review

  
  Inside Pulse Movies — Authority: 144
  How telling is it that the most personal story about an athlete to come out in the past two decades was about an aging professional wrestler? Where every other sports film seems to either involve a rag tag group of underdogs fighting their way towards a championship, or telling a period piece in order to deal with ...

• I’m Also a Human Being: The Decade in Wes Anderson

  
  Arts: It's What's for Blog — Authority: 412
  After breakthrough sophomore film “Rushmore” put him on the map in 1998, Wes Anderson seemed destined to make his way as an incisive presenter of youthful angst. But what really worked best in “Rushmore” were the parallel paths of arrogant adolescent Max Fisher and burnt-out business owner Herman Blume, and ...

• The Other “Twilight”

  
  Precious Bodily Fluids — Authority: 117
  The second, and decidedly superior product, from Robert Benton last weekend. In the recent Feast of Love , Benton traded in the solid, veteran cast from his previous film Twilight for a set of young and sexy pawns to cater to navel-gazing empty-headed philosophes. This film, however, takes major advantage of its ...

• Robbie Williams

  
  the BLOGETTE — Authority: 103
  When I was a kid I used to think Robin Williams was one of the funniest men alive. Then as I got older I started thinking that he is the same in EVERY movie. I hate that about actors, when you notice that they are playing the same role over and over again. Meg Ryan is one of those actors to. But then last week I saw ...
