Leonard Nimoy was one of the most beloved TV actors of the 20th century, but he also admitted in interviews over the years that –- despite growing up the Jewish son of Ukrainian immigrants –- he made his career in the pre-"Star Trek" days playing Native American characters. Among other instances of "redface," he played a Comanche warrior in the TV show "Tate," a character named Chief Black Hawk in the film "Old Overland Trail," and a mysterious Native who seeks justice for his murdered white friend in an episode of the wildly popular show "Gunsmoke."
Nimoy spoke fondly about his role on "Gunsmoke" in an interview with the Archive of American Television back in 2000 (he passed away in 2015). The actor recalled having met the star of the long-running Western series, James Arness, years earlier when the two were in the same acting troupe. Nimoy eventually went into the military,...

Set against the backdrop of London’s dynamic cultural scene, the Tate Modern lends itself as the ideal setting to present creative director Sabato De Sarno’s vision for the Cruise collection.
The building on the Thames is a hub of creativity and dialogue, where diverse perspectives converge to create interesting dialogues and foster cultural exchange. With the presentation of the Gucci Cruise 2025 collection in the Tate Modern, the convergence of art, fashion and heritage is in the forefront.
As part of the fashion house’s broader commitment to supporting positive change in culturally significant places and the communities that live there, Gucci also announces that it will lend its support to the Electric Dreams exhibition, opening in the fall of 2024, as well as a three-year collaboration that promotes the Tate’s work with young creatives and a shared commitment to inclusivity and greater awareness.

Noted influencer and infamous Internet personality Andrew Tate was reportedly detained in Romania again. The former kickboxer along with his brother and business partner Tristan Tate were reportedly issued warrants by the UK for their arrests after being accused of s*xual offences on charges that covered from 2012 to 2015.
Tate’s spokesperson reportedly stated that the brothers denied all allegations and mentioned that they would be challenging them. This was the second time the brothers were arrested in the recent past, as the Tate brothers were previously detained in 2022 and were under house arrest until 2023. The recent detention seems to have even annoyed the fans of the controversial figure.

Praise Russell T Davies and his list of demands – Doctor Who is coming back to Saturday nights!
There’s no more guesswork required as to when the three 60th anniversary specials will air; the BBC has confirmed that we’ll get one a week starting from Saturday November 25, two days after the show’s official birthday on Thursday 23, and continuing on Saturday December 2 and Saturday December 9.
The exact BBC One time slots have yet to be announced, but common sense says that we’re looking at the pre-Strictly Come Dancing six to seven pm hour in the UK. If Disney+ is synchronising the streaming release worldwide, that would make it somewhere around lunchtime in the US. We’ll update as soon as the time slots are confirmed.
Each new extended special was written by Russell T Davies, with music by returning composer Murray Gold, and will be an hour long.

Robert Mitchum ca. late 1940s. Robert Mitchum movies 'The Yakuza,' 'Ryan's Daughter' on TCM Today, Aug. 12, '15, Turner Classic Movies' “Summer Under the Stars” series is highlighting the career of Robert Mitchum. Two of the films being shown this evening are The Yakuza and Ryan's Daughter. The former is one of the disappointingly few TCM premieres this month. (See TCM's Robert Mitchum movie schedule further below.) Despite his film noir background, Robert Mitchum was a somewhat unusual choice to star in The Yakuza (1975), a crime thriller set in the Japanese underworld. Ryan's Daughter or no, Mitchum hadn't been a box office draw in quite some time; in the mid-'70s, one would have expected a Warner Bros. release directed by Sydney Pollack – who had recently handled the likes of Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, and Robert Redford – to star someone like Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino or Dustin Hoffman.

From the world's tallest building to Adele's 'modern jazz'-inspired third album, the big events of 2014 are lining up
Television
True Detective
Crime drama is always looking for new ways of dramatising a murder investigation: one killing investigated over 10 episodes; alternating viewpoints of cops, killer, victims and so on. However, in this ambitious series from HBO, multiple seasons will follow the search for a serial killer in Louisiana over 17 years, with each year introducing a new cast. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey are in the first group. Either magnificent or mad. Mark Lawson HBO.
Penny Dreadful
This has a remarkable lineage: it is produced by film and stage director Sam Mendes and John Logan, who wrote Skyfall for Mendes as well as Hugo, The Aviator and Gladiator. Its disadvantage may be the daring concept, in which a number of fictional horror story characters – Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and Dorian Gray – are living in Victorian London.

Sundance Institute executives announced on December 5 that the festival will feature new work from artist Doug Aitken as well as Klip Collective’s external projections on the Egyptian Theatre.
An expanded New Frontier will showcase installations, performance, transmedia and panel discussion section. Most of the installations will be housed at a new, 5,000-square-foot location at the Gateway in Park City adjacent to Main Street.
Doug Aitken’s The Source (Evolving) will occur at a nearby location along Main Street.
“As human and machine, biological and media experiences blur and hybridise, the distinctions between them are also becoming irrelevant,” said curator of the exhibition and Sundance Film Festival senior programmer Shari Frilot.
“The digital and the organic integrally constitute a new primordial pool. What does creativity and storytelling look like if we revel in this new way of being?”
“This year’s expanded New Frontier allows artists to continue pushing the boundaries in telling their stories,” said Sundance...

Review by Sam Moffitt
The private investigator has been with us for years, decades really. When I was younger I read as many private eye mysteries as I did science fiction and horror novels and short stories. I read as much of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and Mickey Spillane as I could find. I also read a lot of the two MacDonald’s, Ross MacDonald’s novels about Lew Archer (one of which made a great movie with Paul Newman as Harper) and John D. MacDonald’s novels about Travis McGee. Although McGee was not strictly speaking a Pi he still functioned as one in MacDonald’s color coded novels like Darker Than Amber (which made a great movie with Rod Taylor).
I used to stay up late to watch classic private eye movies like The Maltese Falcon, Kiss Me Deadly (the best Mike Hammer movie ever, seriously!) Murder My Sweet,...

In the heady days of the early 1970s, artists and socialites toyed with the boundaries that would forever transform our perceptions of gender, identity and creative expression. A new exhibition at the Tate in Liverpool investigates this period, from Andy Warhol's fashion choices to David Bowie's music.
"Glam! The Performance of Style" critically explores European and North American artistic trends from 1971-1975. Artists including Cindy Sherman, Ulay (Frank Uwe Laysiepen), Richard Hamilton and Gilbert & George grapple with glam as a vehicle for exploring irony, androgyny and self-expression.
Each work combines art and artifice with revolutionary results. For instance, Nan Goldin and Peter Hujar capture the delicate femininity of drag queens and transsexuals at their most glamorous and vulnerable, while painters including David Hockney and Richard Hamilton render a pop-centric world weaving art together with fashion and music. In addition, Marc Camille Chaimowicz’s 1972 multimedia installation "Celebration? Realife" combines the holy trinity of lights,...

The engagement ring Sharon Tate was wearing on the night of her murder in 1969 is being auctioned, TMZ is reporting. Beginning on November 30, 2011, interested buyers can place bids of at least $10,000 on Gotta Have Rock and Roll’s official website.

Every movie buff appreciates a cinematic list. The arrival of vast information on a subject we love so dearly will always be welcomed with open arms. And what better than the esteemed list of all-time greatest films? Whether it’s a monumental effort like Empire’s The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time, or the country-specific AFI list of 100 Greatest American Films, there’s no denying the lasting appeal and insight a list can offer to reminiscence about old favourites and to put us on our way for new discoveries. After all, they’re usually spot on, having polled critics, filmmakers, and a devoted public who know exactly what makes a motion picture entertaining, important and timeless.

When Gene Roddenberry tried to explain to NBC execs that his new show Star Trek would be “Wagon Train to the stars,” he had some evidence to back himself up: This never before released two-disc set showcases the stars' appearances on classic (and some completely forgotten) western programs from the 50s and 60s. Disc 1 includes: Tate (1960): Episode Comanche Scalps starring Leonard Nimoy and co-starring a young Robert Redford in the critically-acclaimed but obscure series Bonanza (1960): Episode The Ape co-starring Leonard Nimoy and Dan Blocker Outlaws (1960): Episode Starfall Parts 1 & 2: Starring William Shatner, Cloris Leachman and more in a feature-length adventure. Disc 2 includes: The Lone Ranger (1949): Episode Legion of Old-Timers featuring Deforest Kelley, Clayton Moore & Jay Silverheels Last of the Mohicans (1957): Epiode The Scapegoat starring Lon Chaney Jr. and James Doohan Outlaws(1960): EpisodeShorty featuring Edward Binns, Alfred Ryder and Leonard Nemoy White Comanche (1968): The...

After announcing the 58 films in four categories that would be eligible for awards at Sundance, the film fest has now announced the next 57 movies to be screened this coming January. These 57 films are of course out of competition and will be included in Premieres, Next, Spotlight, New Frontiers and Midnight categories. Most are big name projects from already established filmmakers and some have already made their way around film festival in 2010. The list includes Kevin Smith’s Red State, Tom McCarthy’s Win Win, Morgan Spurlock’s documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Submarine, I Saw the Devil (which had plenty of buzz at Tiff) and my most anticipated film of 2011, Hobo With a Shotgun.
Here is the full list:

Well, yesterday, we saw the full list of films in-competition; today, we get to see those titles that have been selected for Sundance 2011′s out-of-competition lineup.
And as I said with yesterday’s post, I’ll be going over the complete list, highlighting titles that need to be, taking into consideration this blog’s specific interests. The only title that immediately stands out is Brit John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses, which MsWOO positively reviewed, after seeing it at the London Film Festival in October. Read her review Here.
But look for future posts profiling any other titles I deem worthy. I’ve applied for press credentials to attend next year’s festival. I won’t know until the 23rd of this month, whether I’ve been granted press access or not. If I am, I will attend the festival; and if I’m not, well, I probably won’t.

Wednesday, the 2011 Sundance Film Festival announced the 58 films in four categories [1] that would be eligible for awards. Today, they've announced the next slice of their line up - 57 out of competition films in the Premieres, Next, Spotlight, New Frontiers and Midnight categories. This is generally where you get many of the bigger name projects and this year is no exception. We already knew [2] that Kevin Smith's Red State would be on the list, but there's also Tom McCarthy's new film Win Win, Morgan Spurlock's documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, the highly buzzed-about Submarine, Fantastic Fest darling I Saw the Devil as well as Hobo With a Shotgun and a whole bunch more including films with Al Pacino, Tobey Maguire, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Paul Rudd and others. As we said yesterday, the announcement of the movies playing the 2011 Sundance Film Festival is like looking into our film futures.

Yesterday we revealed the in-competition line-up for this years Sundance Film Festival. Today the programmers have announced the second wave, the out-of-competition line-up. It includes six categories and you can check them all out below. We already knew Kevin Smith‘s Red State would be screening, as he announced on his podcast last night. The rest of this out-of-competition line-up is pretty unbelievable.
We get Cedar Rapids (from Youth In Revolt‘s Miguel Arteta), Mark Pellington‘s I Melt With You, My Idiot Brother starring Paul Rudd, Tom McCarthy‘s Win Win, as well as Dito Montiel‘s third feature The Son of No One. We also have new documentaries by Morgan Spurlock and Eugene Jarecki. Some of my favorite Tiff films are also making an appearance, including Submarine (pictured above) and Meek’s Cutoff. Check it out below.

I am just finishing up a couple more reviews from the Toronto International Film Festival (Black Swan and The Whistleblower), but before I post those I wanted to finally get around to discussing the many acquisitions here at the festival as IFC and the Weinstein Co. have been rather busy along with a pick-up from Sony PIctures Classics, another from Roadside Attractions, one from Music Box Films, another from Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group and finally Magnet Releasing. Yeah, there are a lot to talk about so let's get cracking.
First off, one film I never got a chance to see due to a cancelled screening following several negative reviews is Robert Redford's The Conspirator, of which the general consensus I've heard is that it's quite boring and plays like a History Channel re-enactment rather than a feature film. At one point I thought this would be an Oscar contender,...

The Conspirator
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have acquired Robert Redford’s civil war-era courtroom drama "The Conspirator".
The story follows a young union war hero (James McAvoy) who must defend a mother (Robin Wright) accused of aiding her son in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood, and Tom Wilkinson also star.
Insidious
Sony Pictures Worldwide has scored the rights to James Wan’s haunted house feature "Insidious"
Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson star as proud parents who take possession of an old house to build a nest for their family, an accident results in one of their sons falling into a coma.
The tragedy doesn’t stop there when they are beset by vengeful spirits from another realm.
Submarine
The Weinstein Company has acquired North American rights to Richard Ayoade's coming-of-age comedy "Submarine".
An adaptation of Joe Dunthorne's award-winning novel, the story follows...

Shrinking violets seldom land leading roles, so perseverance is generally viewed as an admirable trait in actors — within reason. New York-based casting director Avy Kaufman, who has assisted in hiring actors for The Sixth Sense, Garden State, Brokeback Mountain, and Capote, acknowledges that some actors — but not all — worry about crossing the line from persistence to obnoxiousness. "Some people are so driven that it's like, 'You know what? This is my life. This is what I'm gonna do,' " she says. "There are some actors that contact me on every project I begin. If I have a role for them, I will bring them in. And if I don't, in all honesty, I'm not going to call. Because everybody feels that they're right for the role." For example, Kaufman recalls one actor who went to remarkable lengths to attract her attention, filming himself performing lines from the script he was auditioning for,...
