Fred Astaire movies: 20 greatest films ranked worst to best
- 07 May 2022
- Gold Derby
Fred Astaire was an Oscar-nominated song and dance man best remembered for a series of musicals he made alongside many female dancer, but especially Ginger Rogers. Yet his filmography extends well past those titles. Let's take a look back at 20 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
As a dancer, Astaire was known for his perfectionism, doing multiple takes to get the most precise movements correct. His immaculate steps were matched only by his outfits, which often consisted of top hats and coats.
After making a name for himself on the stage in London and on Broadway, Astaire came to Hollywood. He first appeared with fellow dancer Rogers in "Flying Down to Rio" (1933), where they played second fiddle to Dolores del Rio and Gene Raymond. Their first starring vehicle came just one year later: "The Gay Divorcee" (1934).
Their subsequent films, including "Top Hat" (1935), "Follow the Fleet" (1936), "Swing Time
Composer Joe Wong Debuts New 'Russian Doll' Cue Spanning Main Themes From Both Seasons
- 19 April 2022
- Deadline
Exclusive: Deadline has an exclusive track recorded for Netflix's Russian Doll, which is set for digital release on a Seasons 1 & 2 soundtrack tomorrow via Gardener Recordings, as the show returns for its second season.
In its first season, debuting in 2019, Russian Doll introduced viewers to a woman named Nadia (Natasha Lyonne), who is caught in a time loop as the guest of honor at a seemingly inescapable party, one night in New York City. She dies repeatedly, and always restarts at the same moment at the party, as she tries to figure out what is happening to her.
Season 2 is set four years after Nadia and her fellow looping human Alan (Charlie Barnett) discover a time portal that sends them both on an era-spanning adventure through the past. Now, once again, the two must search for a way out of the loop together. Wong's latest soundtrack release features dream-like
50 Great Romantic Comedies Made Before 1980 (Photos)
- 18 April 2022
- The Wrap
Despite the increase in pop-culture amnesia, there are actually a lot of great rom-coms that predate the Reagan era
For many pop-culture websites, which we will not name here, the history of cinema apparently begins somewhere around the release of "Star Wars" (1977), with almost everything that preceded it to the big screen being sloughed off as quaint, forgettable and irrelevant.
It's the sort of thing that people who love movies and movie history can often ignore with the roll of an eye, but when one site recently trumpeted its list of the 50 Best Rom-Coms of All Time — which featured exactly one movie made before 1980 and zero prior to 1970 — we could sit by no longer.
Here is an alphabetical list of 50 classic romantic comedies that merely scratches the surface of great movies made during ye olden times of 1979 and earlier:

Audrey Hepburn And Cary Grant Were Well Aware Of Their Awkward Age Gap In Charade
- 14 April 2022
- Slash Film
Is an Audrey Hepburn movie really an Audrey Hepburn movie if her love interest isn't at least 10 years her senior? Sadly, some of the actress' best films have her playing against some of the most charming heartthrobs of their time ... just a bit past their prime. Hepburn famously smooched Fred Astaire, then pushing 60, in "Funny Face;" a 56-year-old Gary Cooper in "Love in the Afternoonl" and Humphrey Bogart — with a whopping 30 years (!) between them — in "Sabrina," all before she'd turned 30.
I suppose that's the curse of the gamine, but still: there's scarcely a...

Stanley Donen movies: 15 greatest films ranked worst to best
- 10 April 2022
- Gold Derby
The late Stanley Donen was born on April 13, 1924. The legendary filmmaker — the last of the directors from Hollywood's golden age — passed away on February 21, 2019, leaving behind a legacy of classic movies filled with color, song, and dance. In honor of his birthday, let's take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Donen got his start as a dancer. It was in the chorus line for George Abbott's production of "Pal Joey" that he met Gene Kelly. The two became quick friends, and Donen started working as Kelly's assistant, helping him choreograph his intensely acrobatic dance sequences.
The two turned to filmmaking with "On the Town" (1949), a lavish Technicolor musical about three sailors on a 24 hour shore leave in New York City. They teamed up again for perhaps the greatest movie musical of all time: "Singin' in the Rain" (1952). A satire of

The Best Movie Posters of 2021
- 31 December 2021
- The Film Stage
If my shortlist for this piece is any indication, Hollywood adjusted to Covid just fine. I've put aside an average of 60-70 posters every year since I've been doing Posterized until barely hitting 40 in 2020. It wasn't a dearth of quality work, but the fact that there were so many fewer releases to choose from. And since I base these columns on current-year US runs rather than when one-sheets start making their rounds, my pool of candidates was greatly reduced.
So either 2021 work was off-the-charts or the hybrid theatrical-streaming schedule found itself whole once again, because I was back to around 65. It helps too when you get new players on the scene, alt-posters too good to dismiss, and social-media controversy courtesy the collision of nudity and art that put more international designs into our American consciousness.

'The Last Son' Review: Everyone Wears Black Hats in Moody, Misfired Western
- 09 December 2021
- Variety
Switching gears from contemporary drama to what Variety once dubbed "oaters," Tim Sutton's "The Last Son" finds fresh life in a well-worn genre: Its striking visuals are accompanied by an oddly appropriate score led by droning, heavily distorted guitars; its occasional narration is winsome in a way that Westerns do best; and its evocation of an endlessly mythologized era feels authentic. But then Sutton goes and overplays his hand, the effects of which aren't as disastrous as being caught cheating in a poker saloon, but they do leave you wondering what might have been.
"The Last Son" opens with lyrical narration and airy background music courtesy of Phil Mossman that brings to mind "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," though the comparisons mostly end there: Sutton's movie isn't elegiac so much as brutal. The voiceover returns to add mood and context from time to time,
Tom Holland Says He's Portraying Fred Astaire In Upcoming Feature Biopic
- 06 December 2021
- Deadline
Tom Holland will be trading his webbed Spider-Man suit for a pair of dancing shoes to portray Fred Astaire in a new biopic from Sony, the English actor revealed. According to sources, deals for the project are still being finalized.
Sony declined to comment.
"Oh, I am playing Fred Astaire," Holland told the AP while promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home in London on Sunday. "The script came in a week ago; I haven't read it yet. They haven't given it to me. I know Amy Pascal has the script. She Facetimed me earlier when I was in the bath and we had a lovely Facetime. But I will be playing Fred Astaire."
Pascal first mentioned her eye was on Holland for the role of the legendary dancer, singer, and choreographer in a November profile of Holland in GQ.
The Sony biopic is not to be confused with Amazon
Western 'The Last Son' Trailer with Sam Worthington & Thomas Jane
- 11 November 2021
- FirstShowing.net
"You'd be surprised what people can do..." Redbox has unveiled an official trailer for the indie film The Last Son, a western thriller from filmmaker Tim Sutton who is known for his low key indie films previously - Memphis, Dark Knight, Donnybrook, Funny Face. In this one, an outlaw attempts to end his evil family line. Sam Worthington stars as Isaac LeMay, a murderous outlaw cursed by a terrible prophecy, hunting down his offspring to prevent his own death before targeting his son. Shot entirely on location in Montana, "The Last Son truly portrays the brutality that was the West in the 19th century." The cast includes Thomas Jane, Colson Baker (aka "Machine Gun Kelly"), Heather Graham, Kim DeLonghi, Scotty Bohnen, Danny Bohnen, and James Landry Hébert. It actually looks a bit better than expected, more cinematic than Sutton's last features. A violent western with a grizzled Worthington ready to take on everyone alone.

- Trailers from Hell
It's been said that American women of the 1950s admired Marilyn Monroe, but they wanted to be Audrey Hepburn, who projected an entirely different appeal. Hepburn had talent, grace, a dazzling smile and the strength to overcome any obstacle. Paramount now rounds up their Audrey Hepburn holdings to release this seven-picture ode to the great actress, the sentimental favorite. Several are near-perfect entertainments, great films everybody should see. All are handsomely remastered in HD, in their proper aspect ratios. I'd consider this definite holiday gift-giving material.

Machine Gun Kelly To Star In Tim Sutton's Upcoming Hip-Hop Tragedy, 'Good News'
- 24 June 2021
- The Playlist
I've said it a million times already, but Tim Sutton is one of the best indie filmmakers working today. With films like "Dark Night," "Memphis" and "Pavillion," he has proven that he's able to tell dark stories that really cut to the core. And with recent features like "Funny Face" and "Donnybrook," Sutton has shown that he'll keep that same tone and style even if he has major actors in lead roles.

Colson Baker To Star In Rivulet Media's Music Saga 'Good News'
- 24 June 2021
- Deadline
Exclusive: Colson Baker is set to headline Rivulet Media's troubled musician drama Good News directed and written by Tim Sutton.
Good News tells the story of the last days of a rising but troubled musician (Baker). While the feature is a complete work of fiction, it takes its inspiration from the arcs of such contemporary artists as Mac Miller, Lil Peep, Pop Smoke and Juice Wrld.
Production starts July 8 in Los Angeles. Jib Polhemus will produce alongside Rivulet Media's film division President, Rob Paris and COO Mike Witherill.
Rivulet Media's Rob Paris said: "Colson Baker is that rare talent who is ascending at an incredible pace both in film and music. He is exactly the kind of artist that Rivulet Media is looking to partner with and we couldn't be more excited to support him on both fronts, especially with Tim
'WandaVision' Costume Designer on Creating a 'More Mature' Scarlet Witch Look
- 14 June 2021
- Variety
As Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) played out a family fantasy across multiple decades of sitcom television in Disney Plus' "WandaVision," veteran costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo had to dress her for the part. But while she played with color and texture to represent fashion trends of gone by, she also had to create present-day, real-world looks for those trying to get down to the bottom of what was going on with Wanda, as well as offer a new take on the iconic Scarlet Witch costume.
What rules did Marvel set about what could or could not be changed from previous iterations of the Scarlet Witch costume for your design?
This costume was made in collaboration with the great artist Andy Park. Every designer that works on a new Marvel project tries to bring something else to the character, and we wanted a more mature, more weathered Wanda Maximoff. She has

There is a moment of surreal wonder near the start of Concrete Cowboy, the TIFF premiere co-starring Idris Elba, that is never equaled again, a sequence of unexpected radiance conjuring a sense of astonishment. A troubled teenager has been sent from Detroit to Philadelphia to spend the summer with his long-absent father. He arrives at night to a nearly empty, rather foreboding street. Eventually he finds his (seemingly) menacing father and is led into a ramshackle, messy home. Suddenly
