James Stewart remains one of the most beloved film actors in Hollywood history. Well, at least in the United States, where Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington are considered the apex of studio-era filmmaking. Stewart's shy, naive, wholesome, aw-shucksy boy-next-door (later man-next-door) manner continues to endear him to millions whose idea of shyness, naiveté, wholesomeness, and boy-next-doorishness has nothing to do with mine. In fact, I wonder if anyone anywhere, whether in the United States or elsewhere, has ever lived next door to a "boy" who acted, sounded, romanced, and punched — lest we confuse shyness with softness — like Stewart. I'm glad I haven't. Today, Turner Classic Movies has been presenting several James Stewart movies as part of its "Summer Under the Stars" film series. Right now, TCM is showing John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), considered by many the director's best post-The Searchers effort.

On the heels of our May set visit to writer and director Declan O’Brien’s then-shooting feature Wrong Turn 4, the filmmaker touched base with us last Friday to give us an update on the flick’s post-production, which is being carried out in Vancouver, Canada.
“Things are going really well in the editing room,” O’Brien, who also helmed the films Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead and Sharktopus, told us of the fourth in the killer-hillbilly franchise, which is positioned for an October release via 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. “The movie is playing nicely, and I'm really pleased with all the practical FX. I did the CGI spot with the FX super, and he was shocked that there was so much practical and so little need for CG. That makes me really happy. I can't wait for people to see this movie.”

This past Monday, March 7, 2011, Dread hit the set of Fox's then-shooting Wrong Turn 4 in the below zero clime of wintry Brandon, Canada. Interviews with director Declan O’Brien, special fx artist Doug Morrow, and actors Sean Skene, Daniel Skene and Scotty Johnson are imminent, but for now here's an exclusive gallery of stills from the set as well as a first look at the film’s antagonists.
Wrong Turn 4 serves as a bit of a prequel to the 2003 Rob Schmidt-directed killer hillbilly flick which launched the franchise, and as written and directed by O’Brien (who returns to the franchise following his helming of Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead after directing Sharktopus in the interim), the fourth in the series not only serves to document the horrific events that created the franchise’s rural cannibals but also presents the modern story of a group of wayward skiers who...

Don't let the 9/11 release date and the slightly loaded title fool you. "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" has absolutely nothing to do with the World Trade Center. It's actually a remake of director Fritz Lang's 1956 film-noir of the same name. I'm not usually drawn in by remake fever, but this story sounds pretty compelling. A journalist frames himself for murder so he can investigate a seemingly corrupt District Attorney, and the journo's Assistant Da love interest is caught in the middle.
The below exclusive clip is our very first glimpse at the movie. It must be early in the tale, as reporter C.J. Nicholas (Jesse Metcalfe) is clearly trying to woo Ada Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn). Can't say I blame him. I'm guessing that Ella's faith in Da bossman Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) will start to waver shortly after this.
