‘Five Came Back’: How the Story of Hollywood Directors In World War II Became a Great Netflix Series
Entertainment journalist Mark Harris followed up his well-reviewed 2009 “Pictures at a Revolution” with an even better and more accessible book, the dramatic story of five top Hollywood directors and their roles in producing WWII propaganda films, told over 500 pages: “Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War. The first book was doomed not to become a movie due to prohibitive clip costs. But the urge to open up Harris’s exhaustive research on “Five Came Back” via dramatic documentary shorts shot in the global arena was irresistible — and they were free.

Several years ago, Mark Harris began feeling a little self-conscious about a gap in his film-history knowledge. As a journalist for Entertainment Weekly, New York Magazine and the late, lamented Web site Grantland, among others, he'd covered the waterfront of contemporary moviemaking. As an author, his book Pictures at a Revolution dissected the moment in the late 1960s when the last gasp of the Golden Age studio system gave way to what become known as "New Hollywood." Ask him about the works of legends like, say, John Ford and Frank Capra,...

Mark Harris's study of the interwoven war careers of Ford, Wyler, Capra, Stevens and Huston impresses Philip French
The two most remarkable film books of last year were both about the ways – mostly craven and temporising – that the American cinema responded to the rise of Nazism: The Collaboration: Hollywood's Pact with Hitler by Ben Urwand and Hollywood and Hitler 1933-1939 by Thomas Doherty. By a useful coincidence, the first important movie history so far this year, and likely to prove one of the most memorable, is Mark Harris's Five Came Back. His complementary work picks up Urband's and Doherty's studies at that crucial point where the bombs fall on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and Hollywood rolls up its sleeves and swaps the diplomatic velvet glove for a patriotic steel fist.

The first All Night Horror Marathon was pretty damn fun. What’s the Matter With Helen, The Outing, The Vagrant and The Godsend were on the bill, and I was shocked to find that there were still older horror classics that I could fall in love with in much the same way as some of the B favorites with which I became enamored as a kid. The Outing and The Godsend are must see movies focusing on schlock and kid horror respectively. With Volume 2 of the same series from Scream Factory there’s an added bonus; we get to enjoy Empire era horror from the 80’s and early 90’s. This collection features The Dungeonmaster, Cellar Dweller, Contamination .7 and Catacombs.

It often feels as if there's more than one Guy Fieri.
Given how often he's on Food Network -- "Guy's Grocery Games" is the latest -- and his frequent appearances on other shows, Fieri is ubiquitous.
A larger-than-life character with his shock of bleached hair, Fieri chomps on carrots and takes stock of his empire.
He has seven restaurants in California, the massive Guy's American Kitchen & Bar in Times Square, one opening on the Las Vegas Strip, and burger joints on six cruise ships. At Montclair (N.J.) State University, he has Guy Fieri on Campus.
"Being that I still think I am a college kid, that I think like a college kid," Fieri tells Zap2it. He recalls eating too much processed food in college, so he serves fresh foods.
Fieri answers a question that dogs those who haven't eaten in his restaurants. What is donkey sauce, and how did that name come about?...

Now we know who the mystery blonde is that Joaquin Phoenix was seen cozying up to over the weekend. The 39-year-old actor stepped out on Saturday in Rome with his newest ladylove, 19-year-old DJ Allie Teilz, as he visited Italy as part of a press tour for his latest film, Her. The pair were photographed walking arm in arm after reportedly lunching at Il Matriciano, a restaurant near the Vatican. They then paid a visit to San Pietro and Gianicolo hill with filmmaker James Gray and his family. The latter directed Joaquin in 2000's The Yards and 2007's We Own the Night and Phoenix is starring in his next drama, The Immigrant. So who is Teilz? An August interview she gave to Bullet...

Joaquin Phoenix may be known for being a private person, but on Monday, Nov. 11, the 39-year-old star didn't hesitate to go public with a supposed new ladylove. While taking a break from promoting his new movie Her in Rome, the Oscar nominee was spotted enjoying a seemingly romantic stroll with a mystery blonde. Casually dressed, and wearing near-matching Converse sneakers, the duo held hands as Phoenix draped his arm around the gal's shoulders. The two later met up with director James Gray and his family and the group hit up both San Pietro and Gianicolo hill after dining at a restaurant near the Vatican. Gray recently directed Phoenix in the upcoming film The Immigrant. They also worked...

Beverly Hills, CA . Contemporary documentarians will explore the rapidly-changing landscape and increasing profile of documentary filmmaking in “The Rise of Nonfiction Movies,” the latest installment of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. John Huston Lecture series, on Wednesday, October 26, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The evening will be moderated by R.J. Cutler, producer-director of “The September Issue” (2009) and producer of “The War Room” (1993).
While information may be spreading faster and distribution choices are evolving at a dizzying pace, non-fiction filmmakers continue to find cutting-edge solutions and storytelling forms to prove that truth is often better than fiction. Despite the significant hurdles their producers and distributors often face, theatrical documentaries have gained a newfound popularity, in many cases because of their willingness to challenge the status quo and delve into the drama, humor and fascination of real life.

Being a true film buff himself, Martin Scorsese inspired cast and crew with a series of nighttime screenings of films that called forth the themes and styles used in "Shutter Island."
Some of the films are classics, some are obscure, but they're definitely worth a look to see what movies inspired the greatest living American director while making "Shutter Island" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Here's the list of films according to the movie's production notes:
Otto Preminger'S "Laura" -- How love can be the most dangerous thing to ever happened to a woman.
Jacques Tourneur'S "Out Of The Past" -- the film's tagline says "A Man - Trying to run away from his past... A Woman - Trying to escape her future!"
Edward Dmytryk'S "Crossfire" -- "Shutter Island's" paranoia theme involving DiCaprio's wartime hero mirrors this film's sentiments.
