			<description><![CDATA[I remember enjoying both volumes of David Niven's 1970's memoirs ('The Moon's a Balloon' and then his Golden Age of Hollywood reminiscences 'Bring on the Empty Horses'), but that was before I discovered that they were largely fictional.
<br />
 
<br />
This says something rather odd about Niven himself, to whom the polished after-dinner anedcote apparently became an end in itself, more important than the Truth.]]></description>

			<description>While I was looking to see whether the series 24 is on in Australia, I came across this TV show which started last month, and I've been watching it since the first episode.  I really like it - I didn't actually watch TV before that.  It has Joseph Fiennes which is the next best thing to Ralph Fiennes you can get   



The premise is that everyone suffered blackouts in October 2009, and they all got a glimpse of their future.  A rogue FBI team is investigating with Joseph Fiennes who had a vision  ...</description>

			<description>Might as well have one of these threads over here.  My last two are:







A stupid film that takes itself quite seriously. It's always on tv over here so I've seen it a good 5 ot 6 times now!   Despite being very silly,  I find the film nearly always watchable! I presume the interest comes from all the chat about real-life serial killers and such.   







'Batman Forver' is good(ish), although this is when it started to go seriously downhill for Batman.  The Burton era was over, and  ...</description>

Ealing Studios on Ealing Green, West London- a 5-minute walk from where I grew up. Most famous for a series of post-WWII comedies satirising British society which included The Lavender Hill Mob, The Ladykillers, Kind Hearts and Coronets, the Titchfield Thunderbolt and Passport to Pimlico.

			<description>&quot;I'm at the point now where I know I'm doing something right when a movie gets mixed reviews, because then I'm not in the box. I don't want to make it too easy for people and I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want to try something unusual. I feel good about the bad reviews because I feel like I've affected them on some level. They may not know what I was trying to do but they felt something.

			<dc:creator>Eddie</dc:creator>
			<description>Just revisted this Hammer Horror starring a pre-Saruman Christopher Lee as the Count- and it's pretty dreadful. Lee's role is marginal; the film focuses on a trio of jaded Victorian businessmen who turn to Satanism to get their kicks and happen to resurrect Lee/Dracula in the process.

 



 

The only real interest here is sociological: young 60's people interested in sex, which the hypocritical older generation are doing their best to prevent. </description>

Edward Woodward in The Equalizer
<br />

<br />
Edward Woodward has died, aged 79.
<br />

<br />
I first came across his work when he took the role of the seedy Secret Agent in the classic 1960's TV series CALLAN.
<br />

<br />
He also appeared as the uptight, moralistic policeman in the classic Horror movie The Wicker Man.
<br />

<br />
RIP]]></description>

			<description>Hey there ATUers  



I'm in a new indie film called Alice and The White Hair, a modern, non-porn re-telling of Alice in Wonderland.  I know there a few Tim Burton fans on the forum who are excited about his film about Alice. Maybe you would be interested in also out checking mine? Right now it is just a short film, but we are submitting it to some festivals, and hoping to make it into a full-length feature! I'm so excited.  



Here is the website and our Facebook link

			<description>Such an odd actor; it's difficult to appraise just how seriously he was taking the 'horror' movies in which he made his name. I've watched two Price movies recently, and in both he seems to be laughing up his sleeve at the whole enterprise: 





Masque of the Red Death

			<dc:creator>Eddie</dc:creator>
			<description>



Jordan is an Irish film maker engaged by marginal, thought-provoking subjects usually involving some combination of sexuality and violence, and Music, too, is often a key thematic element.



The acting of Stephen Rea seems to be of special interest to Jordan. 







The Company of Wolves





Mona Lisa





The Butcher Boy







The Crying Game





Michael Collins





Interview With the Vampire





Angel

 

A substantial, idiosyncratic body of work. </description>

			<description>There's no TV section on ATU, so this will have to do.

 



 

I'm old enough to have watched this extraordinary experimental TV series in b/w as a child the first time around. What TV company these days would invest in illustrated Kafka in a populist 'Spy' format? Precious few.

 

I've just invested in the complete Prisoner box set.

 

Be seeing you. </description>

A kind of cinematic &quot;Fighting Temeraire&quot;: one acting style pitched against another; the Old World giving way to the New Order.

Still pretty impressive after all these years.

Henry Ian Cusick plays Desmond Hume on LOST and is a shoe in for a Clapton biopic.











David Krumholtz plays Charlie Epps on Numb3rs and, add a thick black moustache and lower lip beard and voila!  Frank Zappa.



Understand that both films would suck horribly for sure, but they are inevitable all the same. </description>
