Making his second documentary, after 1990's "The Big Bang," Toback draws on his long friendship with the boxer (who appeared in Toback's 1999 feature "Black and White") by knowing where to probe and how to draw out the famously explosive athlete, even on the touchiest topics. Tyson seems like an open book here, willing to explore every aspect of his life, his painful and embarrassing missteps along with his extraordinary triumphs. The extent of the man's thoughtfulness, self-awareness and hidden fears will surprise many, most of all non-fans who thought they had him pegged. In this complex portrait, which never pretends to be "objective" by offering others' views of the subject, Tyson comes close to seeming like a multiple-personality case -- he's bright but untutored, childlike but brutish, naive but pensive, emotionally needy, excessive in all aspects of his life and, most impressively, willing to take responsibility for everything that's happened to him -- everything, that is,...

Of all the truly great actors who have graced the silver screen, none has been more over loved than Robert Donat. Though he appeared in relatively few films, this amazing actor gave the films something few other actors achieved. Case in point is his much deserved Academy Award for Best Actor in 1939’s Goodbye Mr. Chips. He won over Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind, Laurence Olivier in Wuthering Heights, James Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Mickey Rooney in Babes in Arms. While all performances are outstanding in these classic films, no actor ever deserved the Award more than Donat for his unforgettable performance! Because of a severe case of asthma, Donat was ill for most of his career. He had to limit his screen roles and choose to live in his native England. Warner Brothers had planned Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood for him. Due to illness, he had to refuse the roles which eventually went to Errol Flynn. He made only one film in the USA, Edward Small’s... See less

Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based almost solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity. (2007, 99m) See less

But I’m a Cheerleader director Jamie Babbit takes her naïve archetype a step beyond the coming out phase and into the rest of the lesbian world—falling for an unavailable girl, meeting an exciting new group of friends, sleeping with the wrong person, having your heart stepped on—all that good stuff. Young Latina Anna is adrift. Her girlfriend just dumped her, she works an unfulfilling job at a plastic surgeon’s office, and she is maid of honor (in a pink dress no less!) for her sister’s wedding. Outside work one evening, she finds rebel Sadie (Nicole Vicius—think sexy young Joey Lauren Adams without the squeaky voice) defacing the building. Against her initial inclination, Anna not only doesn’t report Sadie, but also decides to join her anarchist/feminist group—Clits in Action (or the C(I)A). Here she meets the eclectic crew—overzealous intellectual Shuli, discouraged artist Meat, and sweet aspiring transmale Aggie. As she falls increasingly harder for flirtatious Sadie (who turns out...

The 20 pictures on the following list have several things in common. First, for the most part, they all died at the box office. Second, while a few have become cult favorites, they all remain essentially forgotten by video renters. The good news? In my opinion, these 20 films are among the best cinematic offerings of the last 15 years--and you'll have almost no problem finding them at your local chain video store or at specialty shops like Vulcan and The Movie Store. So next time you're renting a movie and can't find a thing to watch, try one of these. See less

When Tom Hanks gets his mitts on a topic, he squeezes it within an inch of its life. So just when you thought Hanks was done with space (Apollo 13, From The Earth to the Moon), he teams with NASA and an all-star roster of talent for this thorough, occasionally thrilling 3D IMAX feature. Magnificent Desolation is another Hanks love letter to the country's lunar program, and his earnestness makes for compelling content about American moon voyages and the details within. But the real awe comes from the film's incredible 3D, giant screen versions of moonwalks, as guided by director Mark Cowen. Smartly, Cowen and his team recreate the real thing and then some. They posit what could have happened, a surprisingly chilly reality about the inherent dangers -- and possible disasters -- that awaited the men who walked on the moon. When Hanks, in an entertaining voiceover, reveals that hours and hours of moonwalks resulted in zero error, he imparts a real sense of pride and relief. And when the... See less

Martin Scorsese has committed to direct an untitled documentary about the life of George Harrison. Scorsese will produce with Harrison's widow Olivia and Nigel Sinclair in a co-production between Scorsese's Sikelia Prods., Harrison's Grove Street Prods., and Sinclair's Spitfire Pictures. The docu is being constructed as a theatrical release, and the Harrison family will supply materials from its extensive archive. Interviews and early production will begin later this year, and the film will take several years to complete. Pic will cover Harrison's Beatles career and later years that included a successful solo music career as well as a foray as a movie mogul when he backed Handmade Films and made pics such as "Monty Python's Life of Brian" and "Time Bandits." Scorsese, who explored themes of faith in "Kundun" and "The Last Temptation of Christ," will also focus closely on the Eastern spiritual pursuits that were central to Harrison's life. The docu will be edited by David Tedeschi, who... See less

The rock legend and great guitar player tells his own life story in this new book. He writes with passion and tremendous honesty. He seems to hold nothing back. He also writes with much wit and charm. Eric Clapton is a living legend, of course. He is considered by some to be the most influential guitarist in the history of rock. He chronicles his rise in the music world from his time with the Yardbirds to a short run with the Bluesbreakers. He writes about running around with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan. He also talks about the Stones and the Beatles. He discusses how he finds his way to working as a solo artist in this very rough field that only celebrates the best and brightest. But there is a good deal of personal information here too. It's not all about his work. Though that's fascinating. He discusses in candor his drug-taking and hard-drinking years and then his eventual, hard-won recovery. He talks about his failed marriage to George Harrison's ex-wife Pattie Boyd and the...

Just to make sure we don't pigeon-hole her in any sort of role, Scarlett Johansson is mixing things up yet again. The girl already did some Nanny time, plus she has The Other Boleyn Girl, Woody Allen's Barcelona flick, possibly Pompeii, He's Just Not That Into You, The Spirit and Mary Queen of Scots on the way. MTV talked with Samuel Bayer, the music video director behind Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around... Comes Around (that she was in), and he says Scarlett got him a directorial gig for another film she's been cast in. He didn't say too much about the film. It is called Brilliance, it will start shooting this winter, and it's about diamond thieves. What is interesting is his praise for the Jo: "Scarlett is one of the sexiest actresses around. And she can just become her characters... It's stuff like that which makes you know someone's a star." In there, he mentions a scene where she was laughing, but when the camera rolled, she was crying. Now, props should be given to someone... See less

It looks like Scarlett Johansson is having a bit of a love affair with Europe (beyond her flirtation with Woody Allen). She's got his upcoming, yet still untitled, Spanish project and a role as a Greek gladiatrix. But her big obsession seems to be with historical Britain and France -- especially the turmoil around the crown and King Henry VII. When Kevin Kelly talked about her Delorean-traveling ways, she was attached to The Other Boleyn Girl, Mary Queen of Scots and Napoleon and Betsy. The first has gone into post-production, and the second is slowly heading forward. News from Cannes is that Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media will be giving the cash for the film and Capitol Films has nabbed the worldwide rights. The script is coming from Jimmy McGovern, frequent BAFTA television nominee, and the film will be directed by John Curran, who brought us the dysfunctional couples triangle film We Don't Live Here Anymore. Behind-the-scenes of the film sounds good and all, but I'm not so sure... See less

I'll be honest: Up until today, I'd never even heard of Snow and the Seven. But all of a sudden, I'm seriously psyched for the upcoming film, which will be a live-action retelling of the Snow White tale. Not because of today's news that Constantine helmer Francis Lawrence will be directing. (Can't really imagine anyone getting too excited about that, aside from die-hard Keanu loyalists.) No, it was a fleeting detail in Variety's report that caught my eye: The movie, it seems, "focuses on a British girl raised in 19th-century Hong Kong who realizes her destiny is to conquer an evil force. She then prepares to fight by training with seven Shaolin monks." Kung-fu clerics instead of whistling dwarfs — it's sheer genius! And according to IMDb, none of Snow's stars have been chosen yet. Which brings me to my point. See, I've got a brilliant suggestion for those seven all-important roles. You heard it here first: Just cast the eight remaining members of the Wu-Tang Clan, who are currently... See less

Columbia Pictures has bought screen rights to the Michele Faber bestselling novel "The Crimson Petal and the White," and will develop it as a vehicle for Kirsten Dunst to play a 19th-century prostitute who becomes intertwined with a powerful London family. Laura Ziskin, who teamed with Dunst on "Spider-Man" and the upcoming sequel, is aboard to produce the film. Studio paid six figures against seven figures. "This is a 19th-century tale told with a 21st-century perspective built around this amazing hooker character," said Ziskin, who exec produced perhaps the most successful hooker tale in "Pretty Woman." "This girl is self-educated and smarter than all the men around her, and becomes the mistress of a member of a prominent and wealthy family, who hasn't been working to his potential until she comes into the picture. It is Dickensian in scope; there is romance, sex and suspense, and unexpected consequences for all involved." The package of book, star and producer was put together... See less

Morgan Freeman will play former South African President Nelson Mandela in "The Human Factor," an independently financed drama, based on the upcoming John Carlin book "The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed the World." Freeman, who this weekend reprises his role as God, alongside Steve Carell in the Tom Shadyac-directed "Evan Almighty," will produce the Mandela film with his Revelations Entertainment partner Lori McCreary and Mace Neufeld. South African scribe Anthony Peckham ("Don't Say a Word") wrote the script. Pic is set after the fall of apartheid, when South Africa was host to the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mandela was in his first term as South African president, and he used the event as a way to end decades of mistrust and hatred between whites and blacks. Freeman and McCreary traveled to South Africa last year to discuss the project with Mandela.

Watch the trailer for Your Mommy Kills Animals. We felt a little bad when the lady working the concession stand at the Roxie seemed so startled we were getting butter on our popcorn -- but hey, the IndieFest documentary Your Mommy Kills Animals is a movie about the radical animal rights movement, so we can't blame her for thinking the audience would be in general staying away from dairy-based fats. Your Mommy Kills Animals aims to present a scrupulously-neutral portrait of the current state of the animal rights movement, and ends up doing a very good job illuminating the diversity of opinion (or infighting) between various camps of activists: some support violent action, many don't; some support euthanizing animals, many don't; all are quite thoughtful, some say some really boneheaded things, and none of them really like PETA or the Humane Society of the United States very much. We had no idea that PETA supports euthanasia, that the Humane Society of the U.S. is perceived as not having... See less

A teenager tackles the mysteries of life, love and public speaking in Rocket Science, a wry comedy of adolescent angst by Jeffrey Blitz, director of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Spellbound. Making his feature narrative debut, Blitz leaves behind the conventions and cliches of coming-of-age tales to instead conjure a world where everyone, regardless of age, is befuddled by desire and the longing for human connection. Mixing humor with a compassionate regard for his characters and their idiosyncrasies, Blitz creates a film about the little insights that can emerge from, and ultimately eclipse, the agonies and disappointments of youth.

A class act horror film - not for anyone with a queasy stomach. Japanese subtitles don't deter from the fact that it can easily rank as a landmark in cinema horror, pushing back taboos. Like Sixth Sense, you could watch half the movie and not know it was going to be a shocker. When the shocks come they make you want to jump out of your seat right into the aisle and then crawl back under it with your face over your hands. More Hitchcock than Cronenberg, there is little in the way of special effects, but lots in the way of a very precisely crafted plot, great acting and editing, atmosphere and moments of evocative beauty as well as terror. The story concerns a Japanese businessman whose friend thinks of a novel way for him to look for a second wife. That's all I'll tell you! Was the above comment useful to you? (Report this) See less
