Pairing wine with movies! See the trailers and hear the fascinating commentary for these movies, and many more, at Trailers From Hell. This week, a trio of films directed by the great Francis Ford Coppola. The wine pairings are easy choices this time around, since Coppola also has a winery. The director and vintner sold his Francis Ford Coppola winery recently but retained Inglenook, where he has a home.
Coppola wrote and directed the 1966 film, You’re a Big Boy Now. The story concerns a young man who, according to the movie poster, “wants no part of sex – he wants it all.” The boy in question – Big Boy – seems to do reasonably well with the ladies, but is not exactly a Cassanova and is certainly no Lothario. He is just finding his way in the world of adult relationships.

Cheap Trick played their first post-pandemic concert on Saturday evening at the Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
Their set mixed classics like “Surrender,” “Voices,” and “I Want You To Want Me” with deeper cuts like “Come On, Come On” and “Stop This Game,” plus selections from their new LP In Another World, including “Boys & Girls & Rock N Roll” and “The Summer Looks Good on You.”
Bassist Tom Petersson sat out the show since he is recovering from open-heart surgery. He was replaced by Robin Taylor Zander, son of frontman Robin Zander.

With Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon finally getting underway, the director continues to expand the cast of his David Grann adaptation. After quite a few additions in the last couple of weeks, four more actors have joined the ensemble.
Deadline reports that Scott Shepherd, Tatanka Means (Once Upon a River), Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills), and Michael Abbott Jr. (The Death of Dick Long) have all joined the film, which will depict the serial murders of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror.

As Deadline notes, “Means will play John Wren. Abbott will play Frank Smith and Healy will play John Burger, federal agents who works with Tom White (Plemons) on the investigation of the murders in the Osage Nation.

Last April, Aaron Lee Tasjan was one of the artists who was invited to perform as part of Willie Nelson’s virtual “Come and Toke It” livestream, a 4-hour-20-minute musical celebration infused with a healthy amount of Thc. As part of the appearance, the East Nashville singer-songwriter got to meet and chat with his hero Nelson and then play a few songs. It should have been a triumphant occasion, but at least one unhappy viewer threatened to ruin the experience for Tasjan.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the third episode of “The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart.”
After spending two weeks fostering relationships in the “Bachelor” mansion, the “Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart” contestants were given a rude awakening. At the beginning of Week 3, host Chris Harrison offered insight into the updated format of the show: “The next time I see you, I only want to see couples that are serious about taking that next step and moving forward,” he said.
The new reality shook the mansion and left contestants fighting to establish something substantial. Eventually, only seven couples remained: Matt Ranaudo and Rudi, Danny Padilli and Bekah Purifoy, Brandon Mills and Savannah McKinley, Ryan Neal and Natascha Bessez, Chris Watson and Bri Strauss, Trevor Holmes and Jamie Gabrielle, and Sheridan Reed and Julie Rae. Ruby Jane and Gabe Brown both self-eliminated after they...

A cult gem in its own right, 1981's Galaxy Of Terror also gave James Cameron his start in big-screen filmmaking...
In most respects, it's pure Roger Corman: low-budget, swiftly made, and loaded with gratuitous gore and bare flesh. But take a closer look at Galaxy Of Terror, the amiably tawdry sci-fi horror flick released by Corman's New World in 1981, and you'll see the creative fingerprints of one James Cameron.

Directed by Bruce D Clark - who also co-wrote - Galaxy Of Terror slams together the plots of Ridley Scott's Alien and the 50s classic, Forbidden Planet. A group of explorers land on the planet Morganthus, where they discover a huge ancient pyramid; one by one, the visitors are terrorised and killed by monsters from their subconscious.

“Sausage Party” may be a film about a hotdog that wants to have sex with a bun, but it still represents a watershed moment for Hollywood. The raunchy comedy that’s grossed $65 million after two weeks in theaters is the first R-rated CG animated movie. Co-written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, “Sausage Party” has sex, violence and curse words in a format that has always been reserved for family-friendly fare.

The movie features the voices of comedic stars like Rogen, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, James Franco and Paul Rudd playing anthropomorphized food items who discover their only reason for existing is to be eaten by humans. Directors Conrad Vernon (“Monsters vs. Aliens”) and Greg Tiernan (TV’s “Thomas & Friends”) have backgrounds in traditional animation aimed at children, but there’s nothing traditional about this deranged dark comedy.

Good god. Has it come to this? Someone, somewhere decided that they wanted to make a heist movie. But how to sell it to international markets? Why not stick a shark in it! And so, by some massive stretch of the imagination Shark Killer was born. For this review I will be a lazy as the filmmakers… So here’s a cut and paste of the official synopsis:
They’ve always been present, they’ve always been deadly, and this summer they’re back in the water. When one of nature’s deadliest creatures threaten your town’s tourist-beach-boom-summer, you need one man with a very big knife. You need Chase Walker. When he’s not got his hands full as a lady killer, Chase Walker is a Shark Killer.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle franchise celebrated three decades of existence in May. Like so many 30-year-olds, it’s made a few mistakes along the way. And so, on the occasion of this weekend’s vaguely anticipated, generally feared Michael Bay-ified reboot, here’s a look back across the wide expanse of the Tmnt-verse that seeks to answer one question: What are the 37 worst things this franchise has ever created?

The summer of 2001 was especially tense. Having just been through an unending presidential election, the U.S. seemed especially on edge. Even before the towers fell in September, the media was already pushing a large, unknown insurgency, it’s face gracing the cover of Time just a month before.
The infamous “Summer of the Shark” cover is today gawked upon, like Y2K or the Africanized bees that preceded it. After a media feeding frenzy, there is always a through-the-looking-glass “What were we so worried about?” perspective that takes hold once reason sets in. And, as such, post-9/11, America stopped looking to the ocean.
Killer shark movies have since been relegated to direct-to-dvd shlock from Roger Corman and The Asylum. However, just a few decades earlier, they were franchise-bait.
When Steven Spielberg was approached to direct a sequel to his first major success Jaws, he didn’t even bother responding. He...

Welcome back to my ongoing coverage of the Melbourne Cinematheque's fantastic program for 2013. From 12 to 26 June at Acmi, the focus is on B-movie king Roger Corman's 'vulgar auteurism' in the retrospective Fast, Cheap & Under Control.Stupendously prolific, Corman has directed more than 50 movies and produced over 300 - his distinctive voice was recognized early by progressive critics. His most acclaimed films may be his cycle of eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, but he brought to all his films a unique visual style, a knowing playfulness towards genre conventions, and a critical vigour in his use of subversive themes and charged symbolic schemata.Corman has had, in critic David Thomson's words, "an admirable record as a sponsor of new talent". Directors who worked...

I liked Death Race 3 about as much as I enjoyed Death Race 2, and I have two theories on why stuff like this happens to an intelligent person who can plainly recognize sloppy, low-budget filmmaking when he sees it:
A. When a genre movie is produced directly for the video market, a seasoned viewer cannot help but lower their expectations a little. This makes them a little happier because they spent less money, and it may make them a little more charitable towards low-budget components like wooden acting, cheap sets, or chintzy special effects.
B. When a group of filmmakers are given a limited budget, relatively free rein, and a goal to make a simplistically entertaining action sequel ... sometimes fun things can happen.
That's not to imply that Death Race 3 ever comes close to transcending its "made for DVD" lineage, but to say that, within the realm of what it's shooting for,...

Chicago – If one actress can represent an era of classic and cult movies, P.J. Soles is a pretty good candidate. Her string of roles in high profile and familiar films from the mid 1970s to early ‘80s including “Carrie,” “Halloween,” “Breaking Away.” “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School” “Private Benjamin” and “Stripes.”
From rocking with The Ramones to getting the “Aunt Jemima Treatment” from a young Bill Murray, Soles stood out as a fun leading actress and best friend during a more innocent age of “Star Wars” Hollywood. She was born in Germany as Pamela Jayne Harden to an American mother and Dutch father, and in her father’s capacity working international insurance, lived all over the world. She ended up going to college at Briar Cliff in New York State, which led to an early modeling and acting career in Manhattan. She went by her initials, P.J., and has...

Best known for helming the feature documentary "Frank and Cindy," which was featured on the "This American Life" series on Showtime, G. J. Echternkamp makes his narrative debut with the high-concept indie "Virtually Heroes," premiering in the Midnight Madness section. Produced by the legendary Roger Corman, "Virtually Heroes" centers on a video game character, Sgt. Brooks, who becomes increasingly frustrated by the messed up logic of his universe. To find answers to his many questions, he seeks out a straight-talking monk who resides within his virtual world. What It's About: "It’s about two American soldiers fighting in Vietnam who are actually characters in a bad video game. It’s very frustrating for them." What It's Really About: "Big existential stuff. Life. Death. Rebirth. Call of Duty. Resident Evil. Exploding Barrels. Cheap-Ass Bosses. Buddhism. Cobra Kai. Roger Corman. Star Wars....
