The Actor Spotlight: Heath Ledger
28, Jul 2011
by Colin Biggs
Before the star’s untimely death in 2007, Heath Ledger was well on his way to two Oscar nominations. One for his quietly haunting turn in Brokeback Mountain and the other for his yet unseen portrayal of The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. His star was burning bright and like so many before him, his time came too early. Now we look back at Ledger’s ten best performances according to Flickchart viewers. Read the rest of this entry »

Happy to see this has been well-received by the Flickchart community. The first two (yes, both) are classics and it’s nice to see the series return to being bad-ass. Check out Flickchart user johnmason’s review.

Director Alejandro Amenabar’s tale of Christianity during the Roman Empire. Rachel Weisz stars.
And that’s about it. Everything else is essentially just DTV that doesn’t feature Dolph Lundgren and smaller, but in most cases interesting, movies. Here’s a quick list:
- Mirrors 2 – DTV sequel starring Nick Stahl
- Night of the Demons – DTV horror starring Edward Furlong and Shannon Elizabeth
- Giallo – Director Dario Argento’s latest, featuring Adrien Brody
- Six Wives of Henry Lefay – Tim Allen and a bunch of attractive women like Paz Vega and Elisha Cuthbert.
- Please Give – Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt in a movie about a rich Manhattan family.
- Assault Girls – Rinko Kikuchi (of Babel fame) in a flick about 3 ladies sent into a virtual world.
- Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl – The title says it all, doesn’t it?
- Shoot the Hero – DTV featuring Jason Mewes and Danny Trejo

The Under-Ranked: The Social Network
1, Oct 2010
by Ross Bonaime
This weekend features one of fall’s biggest releases, The Social Network, written by The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin, and directed by David Fincher as his follow-up to his Academy Award nominated film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The Social Network tells the story of the creation of Facebook and the man behind it, Mark Zuckerberg. To bring to life the story of one of this generation’s most popular inventions, Fincher has brought together a great cast of up and coming Hollywood. Before you go see the film that some critics are already calling the best film of the year, check out some of the previous films from its incredible young cast.

New Video Releases for the Week of April 27th, 2010
27, Apr 2010by Dan
Read on for this week’s new DVD, Blu-ray, and Netflix Instant Watch titles.
New Releases:
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus – (DVD & Blu-ray)
The latest from Terry Gilliam, and the last performance we’ll see from Heath Ledger (until his 10 Things I Hate About You song and dance routine shows up via CGI in a vacuum commercial in 50 years like Fred Astaire). Aside from that (and the inventive/interesting plot), the main reason to watch this movie is Christopher Plummer. At 80 years old, he’s probably not going to get the chance to do many more roles like this, and it’s always nice to watch a true legend at work.
