Movie Minesweeper - The List Edition

- Everybody is linking to the MTV Movie Awards winners list, so I will too. I'd hate to be left out.

- Fay Weldon is scripting an Upstairs, Downstairs movie for the BBC. Variety have the list of other films in development by the BBC: Thatcher, Julian Fellowes' Emma and Nelson, The Choir and The Thirteenth Tale.

- UpgradeTravel have a kind of pictorial list (ahem) of the Star Wars theme park ads appearing in airports.

- Out today in the UK is Optimum's Boulting Brothers DVD collection. The list includes: The Magic Box, Brothers in Law, The Family Way and Twisted Nerve. You'll recognise Twisted Nerve's them from Kill Bill - Elle Driver whistled it; the music the The Family Way, however, was written by Paul McCartney. I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Boulting several times and found him very generous and interesting.

- John Adair has reviewed Killer of Sheep and also listed highlights from a Charles Burnett Q&A about the film.

- Daniel Hart completed the Wii version of Twilight Princess and recorded every last swing of his sword. Clocking in at five and a half hours or so, this is probably the most comprehensive walk-through for the game's main plot I can imagine. There's a whole list of viewing options at the SpeedDemosArchive.

- TVShowsOnDVD have gathered the full list of special features on the Ugly Betty: Season 1 DVD set.

New Poster For Killer Of Sheep

A restored Killer of Sheep is currently on release - see if it is near you, and if it is, then you simply have to go. My time living in Long Beach and travelling through, and sometimes into, Watts was certainly coloured by my love of this film - and, indeed, vice versa. The rerelease poster, which was forwarded to me by Josh, can be found below. I was very pleased to receive it. Give it a click for the correct scale.

Many hold that Sheep is Charles Burnett's best film, and they may be right, but I'm also partial to The Glass Shield and To Sleep With Anger.

This poster makes me a little nostalgiac, and a lot more frustrated. When I was younger, such classics were pretty much guaranteed an airing through the BBC's Moviedrome slot, or at a good pseudo-independent rep cinema (City Screen, I'm looking at you). These days? Looks like the BBC have wimped out on older, smaller movies and those cinemas are seemingly caught in an ever decreasing Godard-Kurosawa-Rohmer-Kiarostami cycle, not to knock Kurosawa.
