Jacqueline Bisset vs. the Golden Globes 2014 get-lost orchestra NBC or whoever organized the Golden Globes 2014 ceremony sat Jacqueline Bisset way in the back of the awards ceremony ballroom. Never mind the fact that Bisset’s film career began nearly half a century ago and that she was a Golden Globe nominee in the Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television category for the mini-series Dancing on the Edge. As a result, it took Bisset, who seemed about as surprised as everybody else when her named was called up, more than a minute to reach the stage. (Photo: Jacqueline Bisset accepts her Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television © HFPA.) Visibly moved, Bisset had to wait a few more seconds before she was able to talk. By the time she began with her somewhat rambling acceptance speech,...

Ape & Essence: Rose’s Latest Another Profound Tolstoy Exercise
Like Branagh’s penchant for bringing Shakespeare to celluloid, British director Bernard Rose has steadily amassed a collection of Tolstoy’s works for several adaptations. His latest, Boxing Day, would seem to cap a quadrilogy of films based on the literary icon’s works all starring Danny Huston (and don’t forget, before Joe Wright’s version last year, Rose had the most recent Anna Karenina with the 1997 Sophie Marceau topliner). This latest, based on Tolstoy’s story “Master and Man,” has been updated to reflect an economic crisis inspired road movie, with capitalism, class issues and Christmas infecting the toxic mix. For the most part, the rather blandly observed scenario is kept sharply afloat by the two lead performers playing broken, beat down bastards.
Pretentious and pompous Basil (Danny Huston) flies from Los Angeles to Denver, leaving behind his wife...

Danny Huston has entered talks for Tim Burton's Big Eyes.
The actor is in line to join Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz in the biopic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film centres around the tale of Margaret and Walter Keane, the creators of a popular series of artworks featuring children with uncommonly large eyes.
While Margaret was the artist of the pair, her husband forced her to work long hours on the paintings while he sold them under his name.
The couple eventually divorced, with a court case giving Margaret the right to sell the pictures under her name after she painted one in front of the judge. Walter declined to do so, claiming he had a sore shoulder.
Huston will play a washed-up reporter in the film.
He will shortly appear in Boxing Day and Two Jacks, as well as returning for a second season of Starz's Magic City.

His Ivansxtc was a searing indictment of Hollywood. Now Bernard Rose has adapted another Tolstoy story – and turned it into an indictment of capitalist America
Ten years ago, Bernard Rose proclaimed that digital technology would change the face of movie-making, and he made a film to prove it. Ivansxtc, released in 2000, wasn't just a calling card for digital cinema: it was also Rose's goodbye card to the industry that had previously shackled him – a scathing critique of Hollywood rendered in a new, raw aesthetic.
Ivansxtc chronicled the final days of a Hollywood agent, played by Danny Huston and based on Rose's real-life agent, Jay Moloney, a cocaine-addicted golden boy who killed himself in 1999, aged 35. Faced with death, Huston consoles himself with drugs and prostitutes, while his colleagues treat his impending exit as an inconvenience and an opportunity. The film is a glorious mix of sleaze and grace, a tragedy and...

What follows is an exchange between Josh Timmermann (a fellow critic and Vancouver resident, who you may recall from this) and I, wherein we discuss the Vancouver International Film Festival and its individual parts, a chance to color outside the lines a bit and discuss the ins and outs of our festival experiences.

Adam Cook: I’ve been attending Viff since 2008—and you’ve been attending since 2007—so it seems kind of safe to say we’re well on our way to being veterans of the festival; although, this claim is humbled when encountering someone like Chuck Stephens—a member of this year’s Dragons & Tigers jury—who has been coming (from out of town, no less) for something like twenty years. However, five years of Viff-going has equipped me with a knack for knowing how to approach the festival, how to navigate the programming—and,...

Sienna Miller's baby, Marlowe Ottoline Layng Sturridge, was spotted for the first time yesterday! New mom Sienna brought her little one along on a frozen yogurt run. Sienna's sister, Savannah Miller, also toted her youngest child during the outing. Sienna and her rumored fiancé, Tom Sturridge, welcomed baby Marlowe in early July. Marlowe is the first child for both Tom and Sienna. Sienna had to break from her new mom duties temporarily last week to do a small bit of press for her HBO project The Girls, which is based on director Alfred Hitchcock's relationship with and obsession for actress Tippi Hedren. Sienna briefly touched on the topic of Marlowe, saying, "She's so cute . . . She's screaming upstairs. My brain doesn't work." Another of Sienna's projects, a movie called Two Jacks, is also in the news. Two Jacks will debut at the Montreal Film Festival at the end of the month,...
