Daniel Radcliffe Proves Himself a Star in Sundance's 'Kill Your Darlings'
January 18, 2013 4:27pm ESTAccording to director John Krokidas, his feature debut Kill Your Darlings took nearly 11 years to bring to screen. After premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival Friday afternoon, the slow cook appears to have only strengthened the film. If Darlings was released a decade earlier, it wouldn't have the impressive roster of Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall, Jack Huston, and Elizabeth Olsen to bring the vivid story of Allen Ginsberg and the beat poets to life. It's hard to imagine any other ensemble pulling it off. Even after a string of other performances (including the gothic Woman in Black), the question still lingers whether Radcliffe will evolve past his lightning-scarred former character into a viable leading man. Kill Your Darlings puts the speculation to rest. Embodying the unrestrained Ginsberg in his early years, Radcliffe bears witness to the energy, chaos, love, and harsh truths that flow through the streets of '40s New York. When he's accepted by Columbia University to study poetry, he's exposed to the alternative underbelly of the city, courtesy of the smooth-talking devil on his shoulder, Lucien Carr (DeHaan). Through Carr, Ginsberg is introduced to a rebellious group of writers: the on-again-off-again lover David Kammerer (Hall), the drug connoisseur William Burroughs (Foster), and the star quarterback of the literary squad, Jack Kerouac (Huston). Together, they eventually form "The New Vision," a poetic task force whose sole mission is to destroy lesser works of rigid indecency (that is to say, Ogden Nash is in their crosshairs). Krokidas takes full advantage of his setting, draping Kill Your Darlings in bold colors and compositions. The director knows when his scenes require a bit of swing — as Ginsberg and Carr delve deeper into the world of anti-establishment poetry, Krokidas' responds with stylish camera work and rhythmic editing. In a scene at the collective's Christopher Street jazz club hangout, Krokidas allows imagination to take hold of his realistic biopic. The effects of nitrous oxide seep in, the surrounding clientele come to a halt, and Carr and Ginsberg float around the room manipulating the frozen scene. When Ginsberg wakes up from his trip, it all makes perfect sense. But Krokidas also knows when to let the talent do the talking. Radcliffe is a performer who can stay silent, expose the mind of a thinker through the subtlest of reactions. One moment sees the actor wound up by recreational drug use, and Radcliffe rises to the occasion by stripping down, running around a room, and eventually settling at a typewriter to bang out his first poem. DeHaan is his foil, always ready to unleash bravado; his Carr enlivens the world around him, making it easy to see why Ginsberg would have been so taken by him. If Radcliffe's performance puts skeptics to rest, DeHaan's proves he's at the top of Hollywood's young actor's pack. The duo's romantic relationship creates conflict over the course of the entire movie, eventually swelling to a burst of passion. The authenticity of the moment may surprise even the biggest diehard Harry Potter fans. Kill Your Darlings has a rare vision behind it, and it's clear Radcliffe and DeHaan are in on the plan. The ups and downs never miss a beat, nor do they feel stricken to the form that Hollywood may normally take to bring a story of this nature to life. That feels like a cue from Ginsberg himself — as we see in the film, the poet's early days were filled with school lessons he threw to the wind (and flipped the bird to, naturally). His independent spirit runs through the veins of Darlings, a great Sundance pick that will no doubt find a home before year's end. And we'll still be talking about it then.

Robert Redford and Obama Ask: Is Gun Violence in Movies a Problem?
January 18, 2013 10:16am ESTFreedom versus safety — the thematic core of every political debate and dystopian novel in civilized history, two human values of inarguable importance that are often placed in direct contrast to one another. Such is the root of the standing issue regarding gun violence in movies, or at least of one of the issue's key components. Does Hollywood's attitude toward and depiction of violence provoke acts of violence off screen? And if so, should filmmakers be discouraged from including scenes of intense violence in their work? It's a tricky subject, no doubt. Earlier this week, Deadline reported that President Barack Obama would be undertaking a study to determine the influence of the media (film, television programs, video games, etc.) on real world violent expression. On Thursday, the Sundance Film Festival provided a platform for longtime filmmaker, actor, and festival founder Robert Redford to voice his standpoint on the issue. Entertainment Weekly reports Redford's concerns about Hollywood's glorification of firearms: "Does my industry think that guns will help sell tickets? I don’t know. It’s not a question that I could answer. But it seems like a question worth asking my own industry ... I’ve noticed how often guns are used in ads, as though there’s something that translates in a positive way." Within the ever-growing discourse, other factors are often cited as more present dangers: the public's access to guns and a lack of awareness and understanding of psychological health problems being the most common. Should we be paying more attention to these catalysts than whatever "inspiration" is sparked by violent movies and TV shows? Almost certainly. But does this mean that such media output should be automatically absolved from blame? Obama's aforementioned program would, ideally, present tangible data that would prove one way or the other how onscreen shootings affect viewers. But even if a clear answer is found, we may find ourselves at a stalemate regarding a solution. It is almost second nature for many of us to side with free expression, "censorship" being one of the ugliest words in the English language. With this mentality, we might oppose even the possibility of art being "at fault" for the deeds of its observers. And while we can shift blame away from the artists and towards those who interpret the art to fuel the practice of violence, this doesn't change what may be an existing correlation. Therein lies the core question: freedom versus safety. Which are we more willing to sacrifice? To some, as stated, a widespread adoption of censorship policies is the stuff of nightmares. To others, the horror stories our country has faced over the past few months are more than enough motivation to enact any policy that might ensure more security for our loved ones. For the latter community, the solution is simpler. It seems like a no-brainer to dispose of whatever forces might stimulate the sort of tragedies we've seen. But speaking to the other camp, those steadfast purveyors of free speech and artistic expression, the complications thicken. We want a safe, civil world as much as anyone else does. But we also value a world where our ideas have limitless venue, where we can breed progress through conversation and art. We have the luxury, at this juncture, to defend our media as innocent in the absence of any hard data pointing to the alternative. But if such a link is presented beyond reasonable doubt, that's when we'll be faced with determining where our own values point. And choosing between two wholly, inarguably important human values is no easy feat.

Robert Redford stars in film with no dialogue
January 18, 2013 9:15am ESTRobert Redford is pushing the boundaries of filmmaking by starring in a movie without dialogue. The Indecent Proposal star plays a man lost at sea in a new film from Oscar-nominated writer/director J.C. Chandor, and he is the only member of the cast. Redford has now revealed his solo performance in All Is Lost, which focuses on his character's battle to stay alive, doesn't include any talking. Speaking during a press conference to launch his Sundance Film Festival in Utah this week (end20Jan13), Redford admitted the film has "no dialogue" but he remained tight-lipped about the rest of the details. The 2013 Sundance Film Festival runs from 17 January (13) to 27 January (13). You Might Also Like: 100 Hottest Women of the Century: Do You Agree?

Robert Redford addresses movie violence at Sundance launch
January 18, 2013 6:15am ESTThe Indecent Proposal star launched the 2013 event on Thursday (17Jan13), just days after U.S. President Barack Obama announced plans to tighten America's gun laws in the aftermath of the Connecticut school massacre. Debate has since raged over whether gun violence in movies has an impact on impressionable audiences, and Redford has now spoken out to urge filmmakers to think more carefully about their work. During a press conference on Thursday, he told reporters, "I'm thinking back (to) when we started Sundance, back in 1980, and I remember, (U.S. President Ronald) Reagan was shot at that same year. I remember there was talk about gun control coming up then. Now it's 30 years later. I think it's absolutely not only appropriate but overdue to have a dialogue... "When I was driving along the street the other day in L.A., I saw two (movie poster) billboards where guns were featured prominently... with a pleasant, happy-looking young couple... My thought was: 'Does my industry think guns will help sell (movie) tickets?'... It seems like a question worth asking my own industry. And maybe there's a reason, maybe yes (is the answer to the question)." Gunman Adam Lanza shot dead 20 kids and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on 14 December (12). Lanza, 20, is also believed to have killed his own mother before turning the gun on himself. The Sundance Film Festival runs until 27 January (13).

The Sad Track Record of the Golden Globes 'New Star of the Year' Award
January 11, 2013 10:05am ESTWhat do Eddie Murphy, Bette Midler, Paul Newman, and Angie Dickinson have in common? No, they all haven't been at the same party at Brett Ratner's house. They are all winners of a Golden Globe. No, Murphy didn't get one for Pluto Nash he got one in 1982 as the New Star of the Year. The what now? The Hollywood Foreign Press Agency started giving out the Most Promising Newcomer award in 1948, four years after their inception, to the person they thought was going to be hottest new thing to take Hollywood. The first winners were Richard Widmark and Lois Maxwell, people your grandparents might not even remember. From 1954 to 1965 the award was given out to three to four men and women who the European journalists thought were going to take the world by storm. In 1966 the award switched again and went to an actor and actress for a specific movie and, possibly because so many newcomers didn't show any promise, was renamed. The first winners were Robert Redford for Inside Daisy Clover (I'm sure he was!) and Elizabeth Hartman for A Patch of Blue. Those first winners highlight exactly the problem with this specific category: more often than not the winners wound up being duds. Sure Robert Redford is one of the biggest stars in the world but Elizabeth Hartman? Let's look at 1969 Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey were given a pair of trophies for their portrayal of Romeo & Juliet. Whiting retired from films by the mid-'70s and Hussey went on to star in some crappy horror films and then become a crazy agorophobic who had a hard time leaving the house. These are your New Stars of the Year, ladies in gentleman. By 1983 the Globes were sick of giving this award to turkeys and gave out the final salutes in the category to Ben Kinglsey and Sandahl Bergman. All in all, the awards have a pretty lousy track record. Of the 59 actors and 58 actresses given the honor, I count only 17 actors (Richard Burton, Anthony Perkins, Paul Newman, James Garner, George Hamilton, Warren Beatty, Terence Stamp, Peter O'Tool, Omar Sharif, Albert Finney, Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight, James Earl Jones, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eddie Murphy, and Ben Kingsley) and 14 actresses (Shirley MacLaine, Natalie Wood, Jayne Mansfield, Sandra Dee, Angie Dickinson, Jane Fonda, Ann-Margret, Patty Duke, Mia Farrow, Tatum O'Neal, Jessica Walter, Diana Ross, Jessica Lange, and Bette Midler) who achieved any sort of lasting modicum of celebrity (gauged by, well, whether or not I know who the heck they are). That's a 28% and 24% success rate predicting the promisenessness of newcomers. You have better odds playing Scratch-a-Millions from your local lottery system. I reached out to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for a comment on why the category was struck from the record and if they ever hope to bring it back. They didn't return my request for comment. They're probably still embarrassed about just how lousy their crystal ball is.

Robert Redford in talks to bring Sundance to New York
January 11, 2013 4:00am ESTThe Hollywood veteran wants to expand his independent movie showcase, which is held annually in Park City, Utah, to the Brooklyn area, reports New York Post gossip column Page Six. According to the publication, Redford is in talks to launch a "large-scale New York festival" which would rival the city's yearly Tribeca Film Festival, which De Niro co-founded in 2002 with producer Jane Rosenthal. A Sundance spokesperson says, "We continue to seek new programmatic opportunities in regions across the country and internationally." The 2013 Sundance Film Festival will kick off in Utah next Thursday (17Jan13), and will feature movies from Hollywood stars Daniel Radcliffe, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Amanda Seyfried.

Revered character actor Charles Durning dead at 89
December 25, 2012 12:00pm ESTThe two-time Oscar nominee passed away in his native New York on Christmas Eve (24Dec12) - the same day as another beloved TV and film star, Jack Klugman, who was 90. He died of natural causes at his home in Manhattan. Durning, a former professional boxer, martial arts expert and dance instructor, was a World War Two hero who survived the infamous massacre of American Prisoners of War by German troops at Malmedy, Belgium. He served with the 1st Infantry Division and was also involved in the Normandy Invasion on Omaha Beach in June, 1944. He was awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge, Silver Star Medal and three Purple Hearts among his many accolades for services to his country. He picked up his fledgling acting career after the war with a series of stage roles but didn't land his big movie break until the early 1970s, following a series of acclaimed plays and appearances on 1960's shows. His first major film role came opposite Robert Redford in The Sting in 1973. He followed that big screen success with a role in Charles Bronson's western Breakheart Pass two years later. Durning's eclectic and varied film career also included credits in Tootsie, The Muppet Movie, North Dallas Forty, Sharky's Machine, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Dog Day Afternoon, and he earned Oscar nods for his roles in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Mel Brooks' comedy To Be Or Not To Be, in which he played a Nazi officer. Despite his gruff persona and his penchant for playing severe, stern roles, Durning portrayed Santa Claus in five TV movies, including It Nearly Wasn't Christmas, Mrs. Santa Claus and A Boyfriend for Christmas. Durning also scooped a Tony Award in 1990 for his portrayal of Big Daddy in a revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - not bad for someone who was allegedly kicked out of the American Academy of Dramatic Art drama school for lacking talent! Paying tribute to his pal on Twitter.com on Christmas Day (25Dec12), Happy Days star Henry Winkler called Durning "the actor's actor". Durning was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2008. According to IMDB.com, he was still making what was his final film, Scavenger Killers, when he passed away.

The Emerging Artist Scholarships will be presented to a variable number of students each year and will support them in their chosen artistic field. Redford says, "It is an honour to collaborate with this exciting institution in choosing scholarship recipients for the next generation of storytellers, as it will be this generation of artists who will provoke thought and inspire significant change throughout the 21st Century."

'Girls,' 'Breaking Bad' Top Writers Guild of America 2013 TV Nominees
December 06, 2012 11:16am ESTThe 2013 nominees for the Writers Guild of America awards have been announced. Writers, you say? Yes, writers! The people that make words dance on pages to create the worlds in which our favorite shows flourish. Some people, when confronted with a brilliant episode of television automatically assume the credit for its general goodness should go to the actors. But what about the writers? They are often just as (if not more so) likely to be the reason you laughed, cried, gasped, guffawed, or squirmed in your seat during last week's episode of your favorite show. These makers of televised scripts carry a good chunk of a show's success (and failure) on their shoulders, and leading the pack of successful witty wordsmiths? Lena Dunham and her HBO darling Girls. Overall, it seems as though cable dramas fared better than broadcast (which, duh), but on the flip-side, broadcast comedies outdid their cable brethren. Breaking Bad cleaned up in the episodic drama category, and comedy lady hero Amy Poehler got herself a nod for the episode of Parks and Recreation she penned, "The Debate."
