No, William H. Macy isn't referring to his wife in any equine way! Anyone who watched the Shameless star, 64, take home his first SAG Awards trophy on Sunday, for male actor in a comedy series, was probably puzzled when he gave a shout-out to his wife, actress Felicity Huffman - aka "Flicka." Was that a reference to the 1943 film My Friend Flicka, about a boy and his horse named, well, Flicka? No, actually - it's much better than that. Backstage, the actor told reporters that she was nicknamed after a saint. The moniker has been there since childhood! "You have...

Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another was expected to compete for the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes on June 9. But his trainer pulled the horse from the race after an early-morning exercise at the track on June 8.
Without I’ll Have Another, many casual horse-racing fans won’t have a reason to watch the Belmont this weekend. Luckily, we’re here to suggest alternative programming, now that you’ll need your feel-good horse story fix.

Even though I’ll Have Another won’t win the Triple Crown, you can watch the journey of a horse that did.

.Well imagine my delight.. A Dolphin Tale of a dolphin.s tail that is largely fictionalized, although the dolphin in question is played by the real life survivor that inspired the film. Never go looking for history in movies, but even this imagined tale has the power to uplift and inspire. Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble, looking much like Roddy McDowall in My Friend Flicka) is a quiet boy being raised by his single mom Lorraine (Ashley Judd). He seems to most communicate with his cousin Kyle (Austin Stowell), but Kyle has enlisted in the military and is going away. One day Sawyer is bicycling and is flagged down by a fisherman (Richard Libertini) who asks him for his...

It's because Hollywood has put horses out to pasture, and the days of the great equine role seem to have passed. Joe Queenan mourns the disappearance of Hollywood's mane players
At a certain age, actors – both men and women– start to complain that they are no longer offered the roles they once were, that the scripts they are sent by their agents are not equal to their talents. But isn't that even more true of horses? Horses used to be prominent figures in films, rearing their glorious heads and shaking their magnificent manes in everything from Fort Apache to Ben-Hur, not to mention idolatrously horse-centred motion pictures such as The Man from Snowy River and National Velvet. But the arrival of a new movie such as Secretariat drives home the point that horses no longer occupy the position of power in Hollywood that they once did, that a movie featuring...

Which is the greatest desecration of the dead? To piss all over the memory of their achievements by foisting forth a terribly crappy rehashing of their genius entries into the genre? Or to allow them to continue on, shambling forward, sloughing off shoddy shades of their former glory? George Romero has the distinct honor of having not just one of his movies remade but the entire trilogy. I feel like it's disrespectful to trash Romero since he's essentially the granddaddy of the zombie film, if not the founder, or at the very least the one who made them into what they are today. I will always prefer the shambler to the sprinting zombies. Romero was one of the first to recognize that you could slip subtle social commentary into a horror film. Legions of filmmakers followed in his wake, offering commentary on wars and religion and economy as a clever subtext to the splattersploitation.

A mustang horse broke its neck and died during filming of the 20th Century Fox movie Flicka, a remake of 1943 classic My Friend Flicka. The horse was killed Monday during filming at the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center in the San Fernando Valley. According to the City of Los Angeles' Department of Animal Services, which conducted an investigation, the horse was running when it stepped on its own lead rope and broke its neck. Animal Services is ruling the death an accident. Animal Services spokeswoman Karen Knipscheer said that production was not shut down at the time of the accident, and filming resumed Tuesday. She said the production was informed that it could no longer use the horses involved in the incident, which were domestic rodeo horses. Knipscheer said their owner was shipping them home to Montana.
