Remembering ‘Remember the Night’: A Christmas movie classic with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray
Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray sizzled as the duplicitous lovers in Billy Wilder’s exceptional 1944 film noir “Double Indemnity.” But that classic based on James M. Cain’s novel wasn’t their first pairing. Four years earlier, they played very different lovers in “Remember the Night,” which was penned by the brilliant Preston Sturges and directed by Mitchell Leisen. The exquisite holiday film, ironically released in January of 1940, has become a Christmas favorite thanks to TCM, streaming services and DVDs.
MacMurray stars as Jack, a young New York City assistant district attorney. Stanwyck’s Lee has seen her share of bad breaks is on trial before Christmas for shoplifting a bracelet at a jewelry store. MacMurray decides to bail her out of jail for the holidays and ends up taking her back to his Indiana family farm where she is warmly welcomed by his mother and aunt. His mother (Beulah Bondi...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options—not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves–each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit platforms. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
Another Round (Thomas Vinterberg)
Superlatives are fatuous, but Mads Mikkelsen’s final dance in Another Round was possibly one of the finest scenes of the year. It is here that Thomas Vinterberg tips his hand: in turns devastating and rambunctious, his latest neither glorifies nor condemns the magic––and sorrows––of day-drinking, but conjures a surprisingly sober study of a midlife crisis, climaxing in this moment of blissful catharsis. As a character-defining moment, it’s up there with Denis Lavant’s pirouettes at the end of Claire Denis’ Beau Travail. – Leonardo G.

Formerly known as Safe Neighborhood, I first became aware of this as it played at Fantastic Fest in 2016. Now here we are for Fantasia 2017 with distribution from Well Go USA, a new title, and a little Christmas in July spirit for those in attendance!
Tis the season! A safe neighborhood, an average night. Ashley (Olivia DeJonge) heads over to Deandra and Robert’s house (Virginia Madsen and Patrick Warburton, respectively) in order to babysit their lovesick 14 year old, Luke (Levi Miller). Shortly before her arrival, Luke and his friend Garrett (Ed Oxenbould) discuss Luke’s plan to finally win over his teen babysitter. Luke tries moves, tries to impress her, and gets her to sit down to watch a horror film with him. Just when it looks like they might be getting close, strange things begin happening outside. An unsolicited pizza delivery, a knock on the door without a culprit,...

Kiberlain will be in Cannes this year as president of the Caméra d’Or jury for first films.
Indie Sales has boarded French film-maker Sophie Fillières’s high-concept comedy When Margaux Meets Margaux starring Sandrine Kiberlain as a woman in her mid-40s who meets another woman called Margaux, who is actually her younger self.
French actress Kiberlain, seen most recently in André Téchiné’s Being 17, will be in Cannes this year as president of the Caméra d’Or jury for first films.
Set against the backdrops of the Alpine resort of Les Arcs, Paris and Lyon, the picture revolves around two women both called Margaux, played by Kiberlain and Agathe Bonitzer.
Although 20-years apart in age, troubling details and similarities seem to link the two women. They discover they share more than the same name, with life changing consequences for both of them.

It was Christmas in July for Fuller House season two and summer in March for Fuller House season three. "I've only read the first two episodes, but this whole season is going to be about summer fun," Candace Cameron Bure told E! News' Carissa Culiner at the Kids Choice Awards. Filming has just started on the third installment of the Full House sequel series. The first two seasons came out within the same calendar year, with season two being shot over the summer and featuring a variety of holidays (hence Christmas in July). Production on the third season was delayed after Jodie Sweetin broke her ankle and tibia after hopping a fence to get a toy her kid had thrown over. "They have to write...

Christmas in July is a thing, so why can't July in Christmas be a thing as well? That stupid logic sounds like something straight out of a Deadpool comic, which makes sense seeing as we're showcasing a Deadpool product. [We know that none of that makes any sense, but Mick is under a lot of stress this week, so we're letting it go. -Ed.] Amaze your loved one with this Hawaiian themed Deadpool shirt from the folks at ThinkGeek for $49.99. That's a bit too rich for my blood honestly, but maybe someone out there has the scratch and love of Deadpool to justify it.

National conventions allow political parties to rally their base, establish their agenda and present their presidential nominee in the best light possible. So it proved oddly fitting that Stephen Colbert chose to do two weeks of live broadcasts timed to the Republican and Democratic conventions. After all, not unlike Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the Late Show host is trying to win over a nation that remains largely uncertain about him.

Reviews like this are tough, because a movie like Return of the Living Dead has been discussed-to-death on the internet for at least the last two decades. What can one possibly say that another hasn’t already? In addition to that, this is also the third Blu-ray release of the film I have seen. There was the disappointing MGM release in 2010, and then much better Second Sight release from the UK that dropped in 2012 and resurrected the original audio track containing the songs that were cut from the Us release. And here comes Scream Factory to topple them all. Sorry to spoil my review, but this is the definitive Blu-ray release of Return of the Living Dead. I have never seen this movie look so beautiful in all the years I have watched it. Couple with that, the fact that there are several audio options for you to choose from,...

The movie—which brings together an all-star cast consisting of Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Vanessa Bayer, Olivia Munn and more—centers on a CEO (Aniston) who tries to close her hard-partying brother's branch of the company. Thus, he and his Chief Technical Officer must rally their co-workers and host an epic office Christmas party in an effort to impress a potential client and close a sale that could hopefully save their jobs...except things don't exactly go as planned.

On Monday night’s “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert resurrected the fan-favorite “Colbert Report” character, just in time to kick off the Republican National Convention. The real Colbert seemed flabbergasted and was unable to explain the success of Trump’s campaign, so he decided to track down his buddy, Jon Stewart, for some advice. He found the former “Daily Show” host living in isolation in the woods, and told him about the news that Trump is the nominee.
“Jon, listen, I know that you and your beard are very busy these days, but I’m here to tell you it’s the Republican National Convention this week,” he said to Stewart as explained the Trump situation.
Shocked by the news, Stewart replied, “The guy from ‘The Apprentice?’…The guy who filed for bankruptcy in 1991…and 2009?” Then behind Stewart the “Colbert”-version of Stephen appeared holding his signature Captain America shield,...

Stephen Colbert kicked off The Late Show's special week of coverage of the Republican National Convention with a bombastic musical number celebrating the outlandish spectacle that will conclude with the nomination of Donald Trump.
Donning a straw hat and sparkling American flag vest, Colbert danced through the Ed Sullivan Theater and cheerily sang vicious lines like, "We'll see Newt, Ron and Rand / Maybe members of the Klan / But no Muslims or Latinos 'cause I think they've all been banned!"
The number also included a quick stop at Rnc headquarters...

July 15, 1988 must have been the day to celebrate Christmas in July because it’s the day classic Christmas movie (don’t argue) Die Hard was gifted to us. 28 years after the Die Hard hit theaters, it’s difficult to accept that the movie’s great villain is gone, and it’s wild to think about the fact that this was his first Hollywood film role — Alan Rickman was in his first movie at age 42, which makes it all the more tragic that his life and career were cut short this year. Since 1988, Bruce Willis has made four more Die Hard movies. Meanwhile, director John McTiernan’s last completed film was 2003’s Basic, and these days he’s keeping busy bashing modern blockbusters, Captain America and Mad Max: Fury Road included.

Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu has boarded Israeli film-maker Tom Shoval’s second film Shake Your Cares Away as one of the film’s producers.

French actress Bérénice Bejo has signed to play Alma and is studying Hebrew in preparation for the film, which is due to shoot between Paris and Israel in the second half of 2017. “I told her I am searching to cast the soul of my character, Alma, and to my good luck I found it in her,” said Shoval. “I can’t wait for our collaboration.”

We're in the middle of the summer movie season right now, and the sweltering heat makes the chill of winter seem like a lifetime away. But we're only a couple of days from July, and if you subscribe to celebrating that whole "Christmas in July" thing, these two pieces of Die Hard fan art from artist Chris Weston (via Xombiedirge) seem like a nice teaser for the Christmas classic that you should definitely be watching next month.
Both prominently feature McClane's vulnerable, shoeless state thanks to Hans Gruber's decision to "shoot the glass" (best to imagine that line in Alan Rickman's voice), and even though these are still images, there's a nice sense of propulsive movement to both of these pieces that's fitting for an action movie that moves at such a rapid-fire pace.

Berlin-based One Two Films is making its first foray into Stateside production as the co-producer on Jennifer Fox’s fiction feature debut The Tale, which begins shooting at locations in Louisiana today (Oct 20).
The $3.5m investigative thriller is being produced by Blackbird Films and A Luminous Mind Productions, with Lawrence Inglee and Laura Rister as producers and Oren Moverman serving as executive producer.
The autobiographical story has a cast headed up by Laura Dern, with Ellen Burstyn, Isabelle Nélisse, Elizabeth Debicki and Jason Ritter.
One Two Films’ Sol Bondy - who was a Screen Future Leader at Cannes 2013 - told ScreenDaily he had been introduced to The Tale as a project when he and Fox took part in the 2013/14 edition of the Transatlantic Film Partners programme.
He subsequently brought public broadcaster Zdf and Arte to the project which is being handled internationally by Mongrel International and is set to wrap principal photography in December.

It’s Christmas in July and our gift is a new Seth Rogen/Jgl comedy.
The first, red-band trailer for The Night Before dropped on Tuesday, which offered a look at the new comedy from 50/50 director Jonathan Levine alongside Rogen and Gordon-Levitt. The film also stars Anthony Mackie, Jillian Bell, Lizzy Caplan, and Mindy Kaling.
The Night Before follows Ethan (Gordon-Levitt), Isaac (Rogen) and Chris (Mackie) who have been friends since childhood, and for a decade, their yearly Christmas Eve reunion has been an annual night of debauchery and hilarity. Now that they’re entering adulthood, the tradition is coming to an end, and to make it as memorable as possible, they set out to find the Nutcracka Ball – the Holy Grail of Christmas parties.
This is the End and The Interview co-writer Evan Goldberg worked on the script and the first trailer seems to be more in that vein...

During what might be the hottest day of the summer, it seems weird to sit here and right about a Christmas movie. Don’t get us wrong, we love Christmas movies, but we’re not quite done with summer blockbuster season yet.
But for a Christmas movie starring Seth Rogen, Anthony Mackie and Joseph Gordon Levitt, we will gladly celebrate Christmas in July. The Night Before follows three best friends who are on a quest to find the ultimate Christmas party in New York before their adult lives prevent them from living it up anymore.
Written in part by Evan Goldberg (Seth Rogen’s filmmaking partner responsible for the likes of The Interview and This is the End), we’re expecting The Night Before to feature as many outrageous moments and wild celeb cameos as the rest of Seth Rogen’s comedies. Lizzy Caplan, Jillian Bell, and Mindy Kaling also star.

Sullivan’s Travels
Written and directed by Preston Sturges
USA, 1941
At the start of Sullivan’s Travels, movie director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) has been screening his latest effort. The picture within the picture concludes with an intense rooftop fight aboard a train. It’s almost absurd in its inflated action and Sullivan is not at all pleased with his creation. This type of escapist entertainment may be all right for some, but it’s social commentary he now seeks. These are troubling times, he argues, with war in Europe and strikes on the home front, and the ambitious, idealistic filmmaker wants something beyond mere cinematic frivolity. Apparently, so did the director of Sullivan’s Travels, the great Preston Sturges. At least that’s what he ended up with anyway.

The Leftovers, Season 1, Episode 4, “B.J. and the A.C.”
Written by Damon Lindelof & Elizabeth Peterson
Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter & Carl Franklin
Airs Sundays at 10pm Est on HBO
Starting off positively—and it’s a big one—no new mysteries were introduced this episode! At least, nothing of the paranormal, never-going-to-be-answered-adequately nature. What we get instead is a couple of contained stories with our lead characters, some swallowed reveals that are appreciated nonetheless, and a whole lot of metaphor. It was still an extreme hodgepodge and smacking of the strained efforts of a show trying to figure out what it is and how to simply tell its story, but at least it’s not like last week’s complete non-sequitur. We are building (some) relationships. We are attempting to focus and head somewhere.
Where that place is is still a mystery and seems so out of reach, but...

With the dog days of summer finally upon us, it's good to find an excuse (any excuse) to dip out of the heat and into a coolly air-conditioned living room. And what better way to spend your time than by watching things on Netflix? Behold, a list of things that are new to Netflix in July.
There are a bunch of new Christmas movies on the streaming service, part of the company's "Christmas in July" program (things like "Bad Santa" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas"), as well as a handful of Disney classics (like "Tarzan" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"). There are also, as always, newer films that you might have missed, but don't have to anymore -- everything from Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" (starring the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman) to this year's "Wolf Creek 2," a high-octane Australian thriller that seriously doesn't disappoint.

Sdcc 2013 may be over, but we’re still reeling from the wealth of information we received during the massive event. We’ve featured a lot of news (information, trailers, posters, etc) over the last few days, some exciting and some Super exciting. So whilst recovering, the Cinelinx team sat down to discuss our favorite things to have come out during Comic-Con this year. Come inside to check out our picks and share your own!
Jordan:
Oh man, this is a tough one for me, because I loved just about Everything from Sdcc this year. We got tons of great news, but if I had to narrow it down to a couple things, it’d probably be the Batman/Superman movie announcement and the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes image.
First of all, I don’t know how anyone can Not be excited about the Batman/Superman news.

X-Men unite… for hero and villain yearbook photos. X-Men: Days of Future Past put their best face forward and placed their character photos on display. I swear Comic-Con is like Christmas in July and Sdcc 2013 is tipping the scales of totally awesome to totally awes-mazing.
Fangirls and fanboys must be swooning with all the geekery surrounding them. It must have been a bit of a scene when X-MenMovies.com took to their Tumblr and revealed some cool character photos of our favorite mutants as well as some new faces too.
There are the usual suspects and the resident young bloods, but there’s a newbie (Omar Sy as Bishop) and a reprise (Daniel Cudmore a Colossus)that you might remember from way back, like back before Anna Paquin played Sookie on a little show called True Blood. But hark. What is this you say? Sookie’s trading in her vampire boyfriends for her super suit?...

Fans of Classic Hollywood Goddesses will want to check out The Barbara Stanwyck Blog-a-thon which is apparently going on all this week.
A Lot of articles are scheduled and some are already up including a tribute to her sparkling hot costume in Ball of Fire (1941, my second favorite Babs performance!) and a litle Christmas in July action with Remember the Night (1940). I wish I'd known about this one in time to join. It was really fun to write and read about Double Indemnity earlier this summer and Stanwyck has a highly discussable extensive body of work that stretches all the way from classic 1930s Pre-Code talkies on through to hugely popular 1980s television soaps like The Thorn Birds and Dynasty. Anyone remember her on those?

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a stockbroker.” Leonardo DiCaprio might as well be laying out that line in Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf of Wall Street, where he plays real-life multi-millionaire stockbroker/swindler Jordan Belfort. In the new trailer, gleeful immorality, fat stacks of cash and a self-aware voice-over from a man who wants too much all feel like a sequel to Goodfellas. Or maybe a modern adaptation of “Bonfire of the Vanities” (The Wolfe of Wall Street?). Or maybe the Gatsby For 2013 that’s really for 2013. Comparisons aside, it looks ridiculously cool. Belfort’s trick was artificially inflating a stock price before dumping the lion’s shares and screwing over clients. He made a crazy amount of money that fueled some very profound drug and control problems — and it looks like DiCaprio is having the time of his life here. It’s almost like Django loosened the lid for...

The Crowd
Directed by King Vidor
Written by King Vidor and John V.A. Weaver
USA, 1928
The Crowd is that rarest of all Hollywood productions – a studio-made film that was never intended to make money. Released by industry leader MGM in March 1928, this magnificent cinematic treatise on the pitfalls of American Dreaming was greenlit by F. Scott Fitzgerad’s “Last Tycoon” himself, wunderkind Irving Thalberg, who believed that true success in the entertainment industry entailed tossing the occasional “pure prestige” production at the public, whether they wanted it or not. Made at the height of America’s dizzying 1920s business boom, The Crowd is perhaps even more timely today than it was 85 years ago, and Saturday’s Tsff screening (endlessly enhanced by the improvisational piano work of accompanist Laura Silberberg) proved that it has lost none of its capacity to dazzle and unsettle contemporary viewers, in equal measure.

This week we say goodbye to Glitzy the Pig, learn what deer hanging is, and get left on a surprisingly dire cliffhanger! Welcome back, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo fans! Tell Santa what you want for Christmas, won't you? We open on the Boo Boo family decorating the house for Christmas in July because why not? It turns out the family likes to decorate their lawn in a bunch of garish Christmas inflatables in the middle of the Georgian summer to collect canned food and toys for local charities, or to help Alana know which house is hers. One of those. With the house decorated, it's time to focus on more pressing matters, like what to do with Glitzy the Pig. June can't handle Glitzy anymore because she's too busy buying irrational amounts of paper towel to, you know, feed him. And when she doesn't feed him, he squeals because,...

The Thompsons (aka the Boo Boos) seem tired this week. While usually they're spouting redneck one-liners left and right and delighting in pig poop, this week there's just a bit of joy missing in their producer-assembled adventures. Maybe someone forgot to put the Go in their Go-Go juice? Christmas in July Doesn't Work: Things feel dismal immediately as the family swears at one another while setting up their yard for "Christmas in July." The event, they explain, is for charity, because they're on TV and people on TV tend to like charity. Inflatable Santas, inflatable snow globes, inflatable everything! The only person who is actually excited by the setup is Alana, who wishes she could live...
