This podcast focuses on Criterion’s Eclipse Series of DVDs. Hosts David Blakeslee and Trevor Berrett give an overview of each box and offer their perspectives on the unique treasures they find inside. In this episode, David and Trevor discuss Eclipse Series 16: Alexander Korda’s Private Lives.
About the films:
Though born to modest means in Hungary, Alexander Korda would go on to become one of the most important filmmakers in the history of British cinema. A producer, writer, and director who navigated toward subjects of major historical significance and mythical distinction, Korda made a name for his production company, London Films, with the Oscar-winning The Private Life of Henry VIII. He then continued his populist investigation behind the scenes and in the bedrooms of such figures as Catherine the Great, Don Juan, and Rembrandt. Mixing stately period drama with surprising satire, these films are exemplars of grand 1930s moviemaking.

"What - you need an invitation?" As always, we're happy to feature short films that catch our attention so as to inspire, and to provide a quick look at the variety of great filmmakers (and stories to tell) out there. This latest one is titled Now We Are Not, written and directed by Amanda Mae Meyncke (aka @amae and writer for other film websites), and as much as I could start explaining the concept you'll figure out as soon as you start watching. It's almost sort of a reverse Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, without the sci-fi, but with all the emotions. I enjoyed it and hope to see more from Amanda soon. It's only a quick 6 minutes. No synopsis provided! None needed. Thanks to our friend @ChaseWhale for the tip on this. This short film is written and directed by Amanda Mae Meyncke, starring Aimee Parker and Graham Outerbridge,...

One of our favorite holiday movies at AfterEllen.com is Mean Girls. It kicks off Halloween and carries us right through Christmas. So while we're tucking away our slutty mouse costumes and breaking out our slutty santa suits, we thought we'd check in with the women who starred in the most quotable movie of all time. Mean Girls: Where Are They Now?
Rachel McAdams (Regina George)
Mean Girls mantra: "Get in, loser; we're going shopping."
Post-high school heroics: Right after high school, Rachel McAdams starred in a little film you might have heard of called The Notebook. Something about a rainstorm and kissing and Ryan Gosling. And then another little film you might have heard of called Wedding Crashers. These days she kisses whomever she wants and crashes whatever weddings she wants and stars in whatever rom-coms, dram-coms, and action-coms she damn well pleases.
