Monday, April 3 The Chaos of Cool: A Tribute to Seijun Suzuki
In February, cinema lost an icon of excess, Seijun Suzuki, the Japanese master who took the art of the B movie to sublime new heights with his deliriously inventive approach to narrative and visual style.

The author looks back over 40 years of friendship with a man who combined a love of terrible puns with his vast knowledge, generosity and sense of fun
Writers, directors, actors, colleagues and friends remember an exceptional critic
Philip was a phenomenon. His memory, of course. His entire knowledge of the entire history of the entire cinema. His probity. His omnivorousness. His complete absence of snobbery, cultural or otherwise. The way he seemed to gleam with excitement when he worked, or talked about work, or thought about work. His energy. His love of – and abundant recall for – American popular music and show tunes. His cross-cultural range. His skill at linking an apparently free-standing film, or novel, or painting, to its political and social context. And underlying it all, his essential generosity as a critic, a generosity unaffected by time or experience: at 70, he would set off to a movie with as...

I never thought I'd ever say this, but ITV aren't as bad as everyone makes out when it comes to live football. Hear me out - it's not as crazy as it may first sound.
For years, I've been baffled that anyone would choose to watch ITV over BBC One if given the choice. However, as this year's World Cup has proved so far, both channels have had their fair share of gaffes and errors.
The BBC is pretty stellar when it comes to live tennis, snooker, athletics and many other sports, and Match of the Day is clearly light years ahead of ITV's The Premiership, but has ITV suddenly gained back some ground this year?
There's probably two words that you're thinking which throws out my argument: Adrian Chiles. The former BBC man has become the face of ITV football, possibly because they're stuck with him and don't know where to plonk him.

We pay tribute to Mary Yre, the star of stage and big-screen classics including Look Back In Anger and Where Eagles Dare...
There was something remote about Mary Ure that came across on screen so clearly. She looked untouchable, distant; she had great poise and enormous eyes that always contained a hint of wariness. A theatre actress in the main, she made very few films, but she always brought deeper meaning to the movies she was in, from action thrillers to science fiction, social drama or literary adaptations.
Always the supporting actress, her quiet ability to wring emotion from few words added a huge amount to these films. It’s so sad that she left behind only a few cinematic performances when she died at a young age, but here are five of her very best roles, and a reminder of how talented she was.

A friend, who was perhaps not quite tactful enough to become the movie producer he wanted to be, once met the actress Kerry Fox, and told her that her work in Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table was the best female film performance he had ever seen, "Apart from Maggie Smith in The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne."
While one might think that coming second in the whole of cinema history was still doing pretty well, and that there's no shame in coming second to Maggie Smith in anything, and that the addition of another name and title to the statement shows that my friend had really thought about it and wasn't just blowing smoke up the Fox ass, she apparently didn't look all that pleased. Perhaps she would prefer to be judged up against all actors, not just a female subset. But perhaps the problem was that...

✒On newly minted culture secretary Maria Miller's CV are two spells at Grey Advertising, as an "executive" in 1985-90 and a "director" from 1995-2000. Monkey's inquiries about what she actually got up to have yet to produce results, partly because no one at Grey now was there so long ago. What is known is that she was at Grey when a famous group photo of 36 naked staffers (around half the total) appeared in Campaign, to promote the agency as trustworthy; but it seems that who took part went unrecorded. So we may never find out. Only hunting down back copies of the magazine from 1998 might reveal whether the future cabinet minister was a spoilsport or went with the flow, and Monkey naturally has not the slightest desire to encourage such seedy sleuthing.

1990's Five Nations was not a happy one. Margaret Thatcher was still Prime Minister, and had cleverly decided to use Scotland as a testing ground for the Poll Tax. Welcome to The Grudge.Unsurprisingly, the people of Scotland were not happy. At all. But their rugby team were doing well, beating Ireland, Wales and France before squaring off with "the real enemy": England.Somehow, through sheer determination and force of will, they won, nabbing the Grand Slam and making ol' Engerland look, well, rather stupid. As any rugby fan will tell you, it was a pretty big deal. And it's to become a big deal once again, with Bedlam Productions, the team behind the Oscar-winning King's Speech, securing the rights to sports journalist Tom English's book on the subject, The Grudge: Scotland vs. England.King's Speech producer Simon Egan will direct the film as well as produce it...

X-Men: First Class (2011) Film Review, a movie directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Rose Bryne, Oliver Platt, Nicholas Hoult, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemyng, Morgan Lily, Zoe Kravitz, and Bill Bilner.
The first act of X-Men: First Class is an excellent single-note, centralized drama while the remaining two acts of the film are a hodgepodge of answered-before-asked questions in addition to X-Men movie continuity errors, starting with the Jean Grey/Professor X/Magneto segment at the beginning of Brett Ratner’s X-Men: The Last Stand (written about here: Film Review: X-Men: The Last Stand).
Keeping the above in mind, X-Men: First Class can be broken down into three parts, not to be confused with its three acts: Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender)’s back story and revenge, Professor X (James McAvoy)’s evolution, and The Hellfire Club’s mutant utopia plan.

Filmmaker Irvin Kershner died at age 87 Saturday after a three year battle with lung cancer. Kershner began making documentaries for the U.S. Information Service in the early ’50s. After working in television, he co-scripted and directed his first feature, the crime drama Stakeout on Dope Street, for executive producer Roger Corman. Kershner started to make a name for himself in the mid ’60s with the Brian Moore adaptation The Luck of Ginger Coffey, the romantic satire A Fine Madness, and the marital-crisis drama Loving. However the director is best known for his big-budget action and adventure films such as The Empire Strikes Back, the James Bond film Never Say Never Again, and RoboCop II.
Star Wars creator/producer/director George Lucas issued a touching statement in memory of Kershner.

Former ‘Dancing On Ice’ guest judge Angela Rippon is rumoured to have signed up to compete on the ITV show next year.
The 66-year-old star – who had a stint on the ice panel last year while Robin Cousins was working at the Winter Olympics – will take part in the celebrity skating contest, though people are already objecting to her inclusion, arguing she has an unfair advantage over the other contestants.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “This is like judge Dannii Minogue competing on ‘The X Factor’ or Arlene Phillips on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. She’s got an unfair advantage.”
Celebrities who are so far believed to have been signed up for the new show include 90s hip hop star Vanilla Ice, ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, ‘Loose Women’ host Denise Welch and wine expert Jilly Goolden.
Other stars who have been rumoured to be taking part include ‘Hollyoaks’ actress Jennifer Metcalfe,...

Train spotters spot trains, stamp collectors collect stamps; but here at TV Towers we think beer tickers have got the right idea. We're glad then that Blighty have seen fit to film them in their natural habitat with a documentary that hails the ales this Saturday. Over the last three decades Brian Moore has searched out, drank and recorded over 38,000 different beers.
