Less than 15 years after its U.S. theatrical release, Christopher Nolan's Memento is already being eyed for a remake. The film's remake rights were acquired when Exclusive Media Group's extensive film library was sold to Ambi Pictures in September, and among Ambi's first orders of business is to remake Nolan's Oscar-nominated, mind-bending thriller, Variety reports.
"Memento has been consistently ranked as one of the best films of its decade," Ambi chief investor Andrea Iervolino said in a statement. "People who've seen Memento 10 times still feel they need to see it one more time.

After one heck of a season, Franklin & Bash has finally reached the penultimate episode of the season. This is the latest into the year that F & B has ever run, and they took full advantage of their October air-time with a Halloween-ish episode. The boys are investigating a claim in which a couple was sold a haunted house. I’d like to tell you that Jared and Peter aren’t scared of anything but…that’s not the case. But it was funny! Tonight we celebrated the return of Judge Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) as the boys battled their old law clerk friend (Danielle Panabaker) in the courtroom. It was tough to battle their friend on a case, but of course the boys are resilient in their tactics, and (nearly) always prevail. In this case, it actually helped that they were friendly with their opponent. Who knew?! As always, guest stars pushed along a wonderful,...

She's not a Material Girl anymore! Madonna's 18-year-old daughter Lourdes "Lola" Leon graduated from high school back in June, and she's reminiscing about her final high school experiences on her blog, Material World."Hey to all the readers. I don't know if u heard (sarcasm) but I Graduated. Graaaaad. Uated. From High School.

Lourdes is reportedly enrolled at the University of Michigan, the school her mother briefly attended in the 1970s before becoming a music superstar. But before heading off to college, Lourdes experienced another rite of passage: her high school prom. "A week...

"If you listen closely...there, right there. Did you hear that?" Ryan Hullings moves his mouse back to the play button and clicks, and the single most recognizable opening chord ever — a modified F chord, played against a Gsus4 and a D bass note (but don't just take our word for it) — rings out loudly from the computer in his office at the Criterion Collection. Faintly in the background of this fanfare, however, something that sounds like crying seagulls can be heard, as well as a slightly crunchy edge to the notes.

The Good Wife, Season 5, Episode 17, “A Material World”
Written by Craig Turk
Directed by Griffin Dunne
Airs Sundays at 9pm on CBS
“A Material World” opens with a scene that is basically right out of any true The Good Wife fan’s dreams: Alicia Florrick and Diane Lockhart getting plastered together on martinis. The two commemorate their friend Will, confess to their insecurities, share a few secrets, and shake hands, coming away with a vague notion that they will begin work on merging Lockhart Gardner and Florrick Agos.
This is the sort of plot movement Will’s death obviously foreshadowed, and while its inception over several empty glasses is a fantastic moment, it feels a little rushed. The Good Wife’s new status quo was hard-earned, built up over years so that when Cary and Alicia decided to leave Lockhart Gardner, it had been a long time coming. That Alicia...

Recently, the TV Line folks served up an extra spoiler teaser that we can expect to see go down in the upcoming episode 17 of season 5 labeled, ""A Material World." It turns out that character Damian Boyle will be making a return, which might indeed be his last episode. Unfortunately, they didn't spill any details about what he'll be up to in the episode, but it sounds like it could turn out to be pretty interesting. In their spoiler chat report, here's what they had to say: "It makes sense that you’d be wondering about the polarizing character’s fate, considering last week’s harrowing hour found Matthew Goode’s painkiller-addled Finn telling Alicia that one of Will’s final phone calls involved “some guy he needed to fire…Damian — he stole some clients." But that won’t be the end of the story. Mr. Boyle is set to make...

Martin Scorsese has said he expects to retire after making a "couple more" movies.
Speaking over the weekend at the Marrakech film festival, where he was acting as jury president, the Oscar-winning director also revealed he had been reinvigorated by working with Leonardo DiCaprio on their series of five films. The pair's latest collaboration, The Wolf of Wolf Street, has just been completed in time for an awards season run ahead of the Oscars in March.
"I have the desire to make many films, but as of now, I'm 71 and there's only a couple more left if I get to make them," said Scorsese. He added: "I miss the time when I...

I was just ranting to Snicks about this, but I don’t understand having a favorite Police song other than “King of Pain.” It’s rollicking, the lyrics work, Alanis Morissette covered it once, and it has nothing to do with namedropping Nabokov. I suppose “Can’t Stand Losing You” works too, because creepy pop songs about suicide are the best. (Snicks prefers “Synchronicity II,” “Spirits in the Material World,” and “Wrapped Around Your Finger,” for the record. Weirdo.)
Anyway, a concert duet of “King of Pain” has surfaced featuring Sting and Lady Gaga, and it’s the best version of the song you’ll ever hear. Ms. Germanotta is sporting teal streaks and some Stevie Nicks drapery, and Sting is (of course) wearing Underarmour, basically. Excellent performance.

The Nixon director's new American history series sees him follow in the footsteps of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg
The title of Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States, the 10-part documentary series that starts its UK run this Friday (Sky Atlantic, 9pm), is carefully calculated to maximise on the celebrity of the film director, possibly surprising viewers at finding such a big-screen name in the small-screen listings.
Stone's attempt to correct what he sees as Us-centric teaching of 20th-century history in American schools is full of arresting connections – sauerkraut was renamed liberty cabbage in the Us during the first world war and french fries became freedom fries during the "war on terror" – and the British screening of his series is subject to its own intriguing connection: this week's announcement that the American drama Bates Motel has been bought for broadcast in the UK by the Universal Channel.

The Season 3 finale of "Being Human" airs tonight on Syfy, and one of its stars, Meaghan Rath, and guest star Amy Aquino sat down for a chat about what we can expect in the episode, entitled "Ruh Roh," and shared lots of other info from the show.
Q: What can you tell us about what we have to look forward to in the final episode?
Meaghan Rath: I think it's pretty obvious to everybody that things are coming to a head right now, especially for Sally. She's made this decision that she's going to let herself die and decompose. And she's forced to go through Donna's door and face her. So there's a big showdown. And more people are involved than you think. A lot of people are involved.

New York — Once upon a time, Carrie Bradshaw was a virgin.
Hard to believe. When viewers met her 15 years ago in HBO's hit comedy "Sex and the City," Carrie, as played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was a self-styled "sexual anthropologist" who wrote a New York newspaper column based on her ongoing "research," ably assisted by her femship with three gal pals.
Now comes a new series that does for Carrie Bradshaw what "Superboy" comics did for Superman. "The Carrie Diaries" turns back the clock to the high school blossoming of Carrie as a writer, woman and passionate would-be Manhattanite.
"The Carrie Diaries" could easily have been a needless prequel to the original's six seasons, an extension of a brand that, by some appraisals, had already overstayed its welcome as two feature films in 2008 and 2010.

Yeah, we’re cheating on our beloved decade of decadence. The Sleeper is not a movie from the 1980′s, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t have the look, feel, soundtrack, costumes design and dialogue down pat. It even comes as a special edition red VHS tape with big box packaging equipped with all the subtle nuisances of the video store rental experience (more on that later). It Came From 1980 X does not discriminate against films of any generation as long as they embody the spirit of hyper color and slap like a bracelet.
Synopsis:
It’s 1981 and the girls of Alpha Gamma Theta sorority are having a party. Amy, sick of living in the dorms, invites her roommate Ava to attend the party with her in hopes that they’ll both become Thetas. As the girls arrive, so does an uninvited guest watching them in the shadows.

Extra feature on DVD of Martin Scorsese's Living in the Material World will show producer George Martin listening to lost solo for the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun
Archivists have uncovered Here Comes the Sun's long-lost guitar solo. The DVD and Blu-ray releases of Martin Scorsese's recent documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World include a never-before-heard solo from one of the Beatles' best-known songs.
The snippet of music, the La Times reports, is part of a video bonus feature showing a conversation between original producer George Martin, his son, Giles, and Harrison's son, Dhani. The trio are sitting and listening to the original multi-track tapes from Here Comes the Sun, which first appeared on 1969's Abbey Road, and which features an orchestral arrangement by the elder Martin.
As Dhani pushes buttons, different instrumental tracks fade in and out, until there is apparently the sound of George's solitary guitar.

Here's the full list of award winners for this years British Academy Film Awards, presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). The Artist ended up taking home seven awards including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Music and Best Costume Design. This really isn't that surprising, I have a feeling this movie will end up sweeping the Oscars as well. It's also not surprising that Meryl Streep took home the award for Best Actress. It always seems like she's always surprised when she wins, but the rest of us all know it's coming. Maybe she's just acting surprised. Then of course Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy won a couple of awards, unfortunately Gary Oldman didn't win Best Actor.

Silence is golden for French film, while Meryl Streep wins best actress and John Hurt honoured for oustanding contribution
There were no spoken words, vibrant colours, impressive special effects, sophisticated plotlines or indeed anything at all that audiences expect in a modern film, and that was all very much in its favour as The Artist emerged triumphant at the 2012 Baftas.
The French silent film had been the bookies' favourite to sweep all before it and it did not disappoint, winning seven awards including best film, best director, best original screenplay, original music, best costume design, best cinematography.
The Artist's tally of Baftas equalled the number given to The King's Speech last year and Slumdog Millionaire in 2009. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still holds the record with nine, followed by The Killing Fields with eight.

Although the Brits had better nominations than over here in the states for their celebration with the year in film, they still went with fairly predictable choices. Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist led the night, taking home seven awards including Best Film, Director, Actor and Original Screenplay. Expect a similar pattern at the end of the month for the Academy Awards. Meryl Streep also took home Best Actress after seemingly strong contention with Viola Davis for The Help.

A Surge in sales of DVD and Blu-ray titles in the run-up to Christmas, boosted by British talent, brought 2011 to a more cheerful end for retailers.
Figures just released by the British Video Association show that "physical video entertainment sales" (that's DVDs and Blu-ray discs) in December were up 8.4 per cent in value to £473.3 million on the same period last year, as highly anticipated hit titles were released in time for the festive season.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say that anybody reading these words is at least tangentially familiar with Martin Scorsese‘s narrative output. I will, however, also assume that quite a few people have limited themselves to his features — and if I’m correct, they’ve missed out on entertaining, enlightening windows into everyday life (American Boy, Italianamerican), the world of music (The Last Waltz, No Direction Home, Living in the Material World), and film history (A Personal Journey Through American Movies, My Voyage to Italy).
That lattermost category is especially pertinent at this very moment, since The Independent — who profiled a new book about the man, Scorsese on Scorsese — briefly mentioned that he and the book’s author, Personal Journey co-writer and co-director Michael Henry Wilson, are working on a “new doc about British cinema.” To say that Scorsese‘s no stranger to the topic is rather obvious.

Mumbai, Oct 21: He was one of the most important musicians of our times. Not just because George Harrison belonged to the Beatles but also because he was the first musician of global repute to try a fusion of different musical styles, especially Indian.

A Separation
Directed by Asghar Farhadi
A Separation is one of the most intellectually stimulating pieces of entertainment I have experienced in a long time. It piles layers upon layers of intrigue, social commentary, ethical dilemmas, gender politics, and more. A tremendous amount of thought obviously went into the making of A Separation, and a tremendous amount of thought comes out of viewing it. It boasts that exceptional quality of intellectual stimulation that continues to haunt the conscience and imagination long after the screen goes blank. In the end, A Separation manages to break down some barriers with relatable emotional content that transforms empathy into introspection.
The Artist
Directed by Michel Hazaniavicius
The Artist is a movielover’s movie. It gives nods to notable filmmakers like F.W. Murnau, Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock, among others, and all the while it’s winking at its clever audience. A silent film about silent films,...

Made in a similar style to 2005 Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home, the great Martin Scorsese has turned his documentary camera on this most reluctant and private member of The Beatles. As a George Harrison fan – and as one of the few people that actually owns early 80s albums like Gone Troppo and Somewhere in England – it’s been a long time coming. The underrated guitarist, who passed away after a long battle with cancer in 2001, deserves some love and Marty gives it to him over a shamelessly celebratory 3 1/2 hours of archive footage, interviews and beautiful still photographs divided into two parts. Entitled George Harrison: Living in the Material World, it’s today released on Blu-ray.
The first part concerns the young Harrison: growing up in Liverpool, becoming a Teddy boy, joining the band with John and Paul – after impressing Lennon with his skills as a guitar soloist on the...

(Rns) As the lead guitarist of the world's biggest rock band and a prolific song writer, the Beatles' George Harrison has secured his place in pop culture history. But his greatest legacy may be the way his decades-long spiritual quest shaped the ways the West looks at God, gurus and life.
Harrison, who died of cancer in 2001 at age 58, was an intensely private global superstar. He's now in the spotlight again, thanks to a coffee-table book by his widow Olivia and a new Martin Scorsese documentary on HBO.
Both projects are titled "Living in the Material World," a Hindu-inspired phrase Harrison chose for a 1973 song that illuminates his theology and sense of artistic vocation:
"Got a lot of work to do / Try to get a message through / And get back out of this material world."

"A bloated hagiography that affords less insight the longer it goes on," begins Nick Schager in Slant, "George Harrison: Living in the Material World spends nearly four hours on the life and times of the quiet Beatle in order to let us know that he was a gentle, artistic soul interested in Eastern spirituality. As anyone even remotely familiar with the Beatles or Harrison's solo career already knows such things, it's disappointing to discover that Martin Scorsese's documentary has little else to say."
The Telegraph's Mick Brown couldn't disagree more: "Scorsese, of course, has never baulked at a thorough examination of his musical heroes, as his previous two-part film on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, demonstrated. But it's reasonable to ask whether Harrison really merits the same treatment. I had my doubts. But this deeply absorbing journey through Harrison's sadly abbreviated life — he died in 2001 at the age of...

HollywoodNews.com: The two part, four hour Martin Scorsese documentary, “George Harrison: Living in the Material World” is a big meal, almost an encyclopedia of the late and beloved Beatle. The first part, airing tonight on HBO, is a good catch up with lots of home movies and clips–some of which we’ve seen, but placed in this context are exciting to revisit. Tonight’s show is all about the Beatles, George’s early life, and his growth as a songwriter, performer, and spiritual being.
The second part, on tomorrow night, is the gold mine though. This part addresses Harrison’s battle with cancer, the attack by a psychotic intruder inside his estate, and his 30 year marriage to Olivia Harrison. I always say, and say this again, everyone should have a widow like Olivia Harrison. She has done an amazing job of tending George’s memory. It’s her...

It can be a special pleasure to see a documentary about a subject you already know like family. (What you want, of course, is for the movie to take you closer still.) Back in 2005, when Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home: Bob Dylan played in two parts on PBS, I sat down to watch it thinking that I already knew more than enough about Bob Dylan (if that’s even possible). The movie was such a revelation, however, that by the time it was over, I felt I knew — really knew — Bob Dylan for maybe the first time. Taking a...

Serious Film's Michael Cusumano here to report on what will surely go down as one of my favorite titles of the New York Film Festival and one of the most entertaining movies of 2011.
Of the many pleasures of Martin Scorsese’s new documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World the most amazing must be that it managed to make several Beatles songs feel new again. For the first hour of the documentary we watch as the young and intense Harrison takes a backseat to brilliance and charisma of Lennon/McCartney. When the unspeakably beautiful strains of Harrison’s Something finally break out over the theater speakers, it isn't just the power of the music that gets to you but the thrill of watching a world class talent explode with his full potential. It's an emotionally overwhelming moment, far from the only one in Scorsese’s second great rock documentary...

Hollywoodnews.com: Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr turned up for the London premiere of the new George Harrison biopic, “Living in the Material World,” directed by fellow legend Martin Scorsese.
“Every time I see something to do with George it brings back more memories than you would believe, McCartney said outside of Sunday’s screening, which was held at the BFI Southbank. “He was my little mate on the school bus. A lot of fond memories. He’s sorely missed by us all.”
Scorsese’s documentary will receive a limited theatrical release before making its way to HBO. It also will be screened as part of the New York Film Festival later this week. Scorsese’s doc divides into two halves. In one, he chronicled the Beatles’ meteoric rise. The second documents the artist’s solo career.

Sir Paul McCartney found it 'very emotional' watching a new documentary about George Harrison. The Beatles musician was moved by Martin Scorsese's four-hour tribute to his former bandmate, Living in the Material World, as it reminded him of old times with his friend, who passed away from lung cancer in 2001. He told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper: 'I was impressed – it actually really reminded me again what I already knew, which was how cool George was. 'Of course, it was very emotional for me too. But it was really good.' Alongside the documentary on George, last year also saw the release...

Martin Scorsese's gargantuan documentary is a cherishable account of the late Beatle's music and life
Maybe the title will have people humming Madonna in spite of themselves. Actually it is the name of a George Harrison solo album from 1973 – characteristically concerned with Asian spirituality – and now the title of Martin Scorsese's new film: an enormously affectionate, enthusiastic, and wildly indulgent three-and-a-half hour docu-tribute to Harrison. With new interviews with key figures including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Martin, Scorsese's movie sets out to cherish and rediscover that special something in Harrison's music and his gentle, self-deprecating, otherworldly personality. He pays tribute to Harrison as the inventor of the benefit gig with his 1971 Bangladesh concert, and also as a film producer and backer of HandMade Films, and the man without whom Life of Brian and Withnail and I would not exist. Scorsese asks: could it be that the...

London, Sept 26: The new major biopic on the late Beatles star George Harrison has omitted details of his affair with band mate Ringo Starr's then wife Maureen Cox, raising eyebrows among rock historians.
Directed by Martin Scorsese, the forthcoming film, 'Living In The Material World', sees widow Olivia acknowledge Harrison's challenging attitude to the opposite sex and Eric Clapton discuss running off with George's first wife Patti Boyd.
But there is no reference to his well-documented affair with band mate Ringo Starr's then wife Cox, the Daily Express reported.
The documentary will premiere.

George Harrison:Living in the Material World

USA, 2011
What a day, what a day. Rushing from Queens to Manhattan with only an hour to get going for a nine Am screening in the mist of rush hour, to many city dwellers may seem like the impossible. Topple that with three train transfers and a lack of caffeine, many would call it quits. With five minutes to spare, after running across the plaza of the Lincoln Center and nearly tripping up the steps of the Walter Reade Theater, I seriously thought waiting for the second screening was inevitable. Luckily the fine people at the Film Society checked me in as I panted breathlessly, and reassured that I wasn’t the only one to show in the nick of time, with a smile and cup of coffee.

A report published this week suggests films showing smoking should automatically be classified 18
The big story
This week a report published by the medical journal Thorax recommended that all films including a scene in which a character smokes should automatically be classified as 18, regardless of any other content.
The report, produced by the UK Centre for Tobacco Contol Studies, was compiled from a survey of 5,000 teenagers who were asked if they had seen 50 films randomly selected from 366 box-office hits between 2001 and 2005. When the viewing preferences of the adolescents were compared to their smoking habits it was found that those exposed to puff-heavy plotlines were 73% more likely to have tried a cigarette and nearly 50% more likely to take up smoking in the longer term.
"More than half the films shown in the UK that contain smoking are rated 15 or below, so children and young teenagers are clearly exposed," said Dr Andrea...

The Spanish film festival brings interesting new fare from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's chiller Intruders to Martin Scorsese's Harrison tribute Living in the Material World
The San Sebastián film festival began in a persistent shower of unseasonable rain, and with a semi-Hollywood-ised English language movie from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who made the excellent Intacto: a reasonably scary ghost story called Intruders. Clive Owen plays a troubled and protective dad – he is danger of becoming a little stereotyped in these roles – with a rather implausible blue-collar job sitting astride steel girders on buildings way up in the air, fixing rivets. His 12-year-old daughter has become weirdly obsessed with a creature with no face ("Hollowface"), having discovered an unfinished story about this character in a child's handwriting stuffed in a tree near her grandparents' house. She is finishing this story for a school project and in doing so appears to...
