    PETER BOGDANOVICH (30 July 1939, Kingston, New York, USA ) most March 28, 2001 (III:10) notable recent job has been playing Tony Soprano’s psychiatrist’s psychiatrist. “Many French cineasts and film critics went on to become major filmmakers, but in America only one such scholar made that transition: Peter Bogdanovich. This lifelong film buff wrote dozens of articles, books, and program notes about Hollywood before settling there in the mid 1960s. He fell in with producer Roger Corman, becoming a jack-of-all-trades on The Wild Angels (1966) and reworking a Russian sci-fi epic into Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1967). Bogd anov ich's first real film was the suspenseful Targets (1968), which he directed, produced, and cowrote with then-wife Polly Platt. After making a documentary, Directed by John Ford (1971), he directed the melancholy Larry McMurtry story The Last Picture Show (1971), which becam e a major critical and commercial hit…. “Celebrated as Hollywood's latest wunderkind, he made two more big hits: the screwball farce What's U p, Doc? (1972) and another period piece, Paper Moon (1973), which brought an Oscar to debuting Tatum O'Neal. Both films were very much dependent on references to earlier films and directors, but there was no denying his superb craftsmanship and assu red handling of actors. Bu t it was perceived that his relationship with Cybill Shepherd led to his undoing. Two Shepherd vehicles-Daisy Miller (1974) and At Long Last Love (1975)-were major stiffs, and the well-intentioned Nickelodeon (1976) was pronounced D.O.A.

  • Hello Movie Lovers! We Are Excited About Our First Movie Night, Which Will Occur on the Third Tuesday of Every Month
    Hello movie lovers! We are excited about our first movie night, which will occur on the third Tuesday of every month. On March 20, we will meet in the library to watch and discuss one of the following three films. You need to choose which one and email it to Gail Sergenian ([email protected]) with the subject MOVIE NIGHT by Monday March 12th. For our first evening, Edythe Salzman offers three fine films. Select the one you would like to see and discuss with others. SIDEWAYS, directed by Alexander Payne, 2004 With Sideways, Paul Giamatti has become an unlikely but engaging romantic lead. Struggling novelist and wine connoisseur Miles (Giamatti) takes his best friend Jack (Thomas Haden Church, Wings) on a wine-tasting tour of California vineyards for a kind of extended bachelor party. Almost immediately, Jack's insatiable need to sow some wild oats before his marriage leads them in into double-dates with a rambunctious wine pourer (Sandra Oh) and a recently divorced waitress (Virginia Madsen)--and Miles discovers a little hope that he hasn't let himself feel in a long time. Sideways is a modest but finely tuned film; with gentle compassion, it explores the failures, struggles, and lowered expectations of mid-life. Giamatti makes regret and self-loathing sympathetic, almost sweet. Bret Fetzer STAND BY ME, directed by Rob Reiner, 1986 From Left, Wil Wheaton, Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman and River Phoenix. ]In a small woodsy Oregon town, a group of friends--sensitive Gordie (Wil Wheaton), tough guy Chris (River Phoenix), flamboyant Teddy (Corey Feldman), and scaredy-cat Vern (Jerry O'Connell)--are in search of a missing teenager's body.
