“Here is the screen’s most shocking exposé, of the ‘Baby-Facers’ just taking their first stumbling steps down Sin Street U.S.A.!” Robert Altman’s first feature film is far too good to be described as any but an expert step toward an impressive career. But he had to deal with a young actor who drove him up the wall, Tom Laughlin.

How Escape from the Planet of the Apes continued the series and created a saga.
It was 46 years ago that 20th Century Fox released the third film in the original Planet of the Apes cycle, titled Escape from the Planet of the Apes. The fact that a second sequel was even produced, following 1970’s Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was something of a miracle: after all, in an effort to end the franchise after just two films, Beneath’s finale offered nothing less that the destruction of Earth itself. But with Beneath an unqualified success at the box office -- $19 million in earnings against a $4.6 million budget -- screenwriter Paul Dehn was famously sent a terse telegram that simply said, “Apes exist. Sequel required.”
What Dehn did was nothing short of brilliant, finding a way to not only extend the story but make it a self-perpetuating...

Hollywood tackles the big issues! This adapted play about an unwanted teen pregnancy is actually quite good, thanks to fine performances by Carol Lynley and Brandon De Wilde, who convince as cherubic high schoolers 'too young to know the score.' And hey, the teen trauma is set to an intense music score by Bernard Herrmann.

We live in a world in which there are seven, soon to be eight, Planet of the Apes films. I love it. This series is one of my all-time favourites, I just can’t get enough of it. The stories, the spectacle, the endings, and the apes themselves; It all comes together to form something truly great. We have the original series of five films, each of which has its own charm and surprises. They also all link up to tell one complete story, something fairly impressive considering sequels weren’t looked upon as anything special at the time (boy has that tune sure changed). We have Tim Burton’s remake from 2001, which while it was critically panned upon release has won some supporters over the years. Finally we have the new reboot series which launched with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and has successfully exposed a whole...

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ trailer: New trailer for 2014 ‘Planet of the Apes’ film shows humans are the most dangerous apes of them all (image: Caesar in ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’) The new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer is out. Caesar and his fellow genetically modified apes enjoy a peaceful existence until created-in-God’s-image apes — that’s self-delusional humans — discover the Gmo apes’ hiding place in a lush forest. Much like gays were blamed for the AIDS virus a few decades ago, the virtuous and righteous humans (Gary Oldman among them) blame the Gmo apes for a virus that all but wiped out humankind. Enter the military, ever eager to save the world for peace and happiness by way of some heavy-duty weaponry. Needless to say, I’m ardently rooting for Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his fellow Gmo apes. Check out the...

Sunday evening saw Apes on horseback in the first TV spot for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.
Today, 20th Century Fox released the 5th poster showing a softer side of Caesar (possibly comforting baby Cornelius?) for the upcoming sequel to Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.
In the new film, a growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
For the die-hard fans of the franchise, including yours truly, this sounds similar to the fifth film of the original series – 1973′s Battle For The Planet Of The Apes.
Set in “North America – 2670 A.D.”, this sequel follows the ape leader,...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2014, but the high-budget prequel/sequel would never have been possible without the original film series from the 1960s and 1970s. The Planet of the Apes Blu-ray features multiple commentary options, including a recorded track with actors Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, and Natalie Trundy, as well as make-up artist John Chambers. Spliced together by existing interviews, this is more of a voice-over through the movie. To augment the commentary, there’s a text commentary provided by Eric Greene, author of the book Planet of the Apes as American Myth. That’s enough to shake a fist at. Planet of the Apes (1968) Commentators: Roddy McDowall (actor), Kim Hunter (actor), Natalie Trundy (actor), John Chambers (make-up artist), plus excerpts from Planet of the Apes as American Myth author Eric Greene’s text commentary 1.

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ trailer: 2014 ‘Apes’ movie pits Gmo apes against Gmo-eating apes (photo: Simmering Caesar means business in ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ teaser trailer) The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer — or rather, teaser trailer — has been unleashed. Caesar and his fellow genetically modified apes find themselves threatened by a bunch of genetically modified food-eating apes (i.e., humans) who survived the pandemic of the previous decade. Whereas throughout their existence humans used to do battle with one another because of their different nationalities, ethnicities, soccer teams, and/or favorite god(s), they’ve now banded together to face off against the hairier apes. Check out the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes below. "I want you to know, it’s not just about power," a disembodied voice explains in the trailer. "It’s about giving us the hope to rebuild,...

Bradford Dillman: A Compulsively Watchable Actor
By Harvey Chartrand
In a career that has spanned 43 years, Bradford Dillman accumulated more than 500 film and TV credits. The slim, handsome and patrician Dillman may have been the busiest actor in Hollywood during the late sixties and early seventies, working non-stop for years. In 1971 alone, Dillman starred in seven full-length feature films. And this protean output doesn’t include guest appearances on six TV shows that same year.
Yale-educated Dillman first drew good notices in the early 1950s on the Broadway stage and in live TV shows, such as Climax and Kraft Television Theatre. After making theatrical history playing Edmund Tyrone in the first-ever production of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night in 1956, Dillman landed the role of blueblood psychopath Artie Straus in the crime-and-punishment thriller Compulsion (1959), for which he...
