  • Moneyball' Bit Player Korach Likes Film
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 'Moneyball' bit player Korach likes film ... and Howe Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review Ken Korach's voice can be heard for about 22 seconds in the hit baseball movie "Moneyball," now showing at a theater near you. That's probably not enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, given Anthony Quinn holds the record for shortest amount of time spent on screen as a Best Supporting Actor of eight minutes, as painter Paul Gaugin in 1956's "Lust for Life." But whereas Brad Pitt only stars in "Moneyball," longtime Las Vegas resident Korach lived the 2002 season as play-by- play broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics, who set an American League record by winning 20 consecutive games. And though Korach's 45-minute interview about that season wound up on the cutting-room floor -- apparently along with photographs of the real Art Howe, the former A's manager who was nowhere near as rotund (or cantankerous) as Philip Seymour Hoffman made him out to be in the movie -- Korach said director Bennett Miller and the Hollywood people got it right. Except, perhaps, for the part about Art Howe. "I wish they had done a more flattering portrayal of Art ... but it's Hollywood," Korach said of "Moneyball," based on author Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. "They wanted to show conflict between Billy and Art." Billy is Billy Beane, who was general manager of the Athletics then and still is today. Beane is credited with adapting the so-called "Moneyball" approach -- finding value in players based on sabermetric statistical data and analysis, rather than traditional scouting values such as hitting home runs and stealing bases -- to building a ballclub.

  • Flickers Honors Anthony Quinn, Adopted Rhode Islander, on 100Th Birthday
    Flickers Honors Anthony Quinn, Adopted Rhode Islander, on 100th Birthday Nominated for acting Oscars four times and winning twice, Anthony Quinn was one of the most prolific and recognizable actors of the 20th century. He appeared in over 160 films released between 1936 and 2002, many of them considered among the best of all-time or at least definitive in their genre. Born Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca in Mexico in 1915, the actor lived the final years of his life in Bristol. After his death in 2001 at the age of 86, the town granted a request by his widow that he be buried in a private grave on the family estate off Poppasquash Rd. To commemorate this adopted son of its home state, Flickers: The Rhode Island International Film Festival, is holding a major curated retrospective running through Nov 2015 that will showcase 32 of his films. “We’re screening a large, large collection of his work,” said Shawn Quirk, RIFF programming director. He said that the retrospective was undertaken with the co-operation of Quinn’s widow, Kathy Benvin Quinn. Quinn’s mixed-heritage Hispanic ancestry – his mother was Irish and Mexican, and his father was of indigenous Nahuatl (Aztec) descent – allowed him to play a wide variety of ethnic roles, ranging from Bedouin Arab (Auda ibu Tayi, Lawrence of Arabia, 1962) to continental Greek (Alexis Zorba, Zorba the Greek, 1964). Some roles depended upon this flexibility, such the lead Johann Moritz in The 25th Hour (1967), a Romanian peasant during World War II who is mistaken for a Jew and sent to a concentration camp, reclassified as Aryan and conscripted into the Waffen SS, and then prosecuted as a war criminal.

Running through November 2015, this special program will include free screenings of his films at libraries across the state with a curated monthly series; scholarly monographs at special events; panel discussions with film and history scholars; special breakout screenings of signature films, a student essay contest (high school and college) on the legacy of this seminal artist and a video competition geared for area college students to recreate a scene from one of five films that will be showcased: La Strada, Lust for Life, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Guns of Navarone. Throughout film history, there have been a select few Latino actors who broke the barrier of language and stereotypes to make their way in the United States, paving the way for new generations of actors like Javier Bardem or Antonio Banderas. Perhaps the most notable was the magnificent Anthony Ruldolph Oaxaca Quinn, born on April 21, 1915, in Chihuahua, Mexico who became a Hispanic legend, managing to get from a humble beginning in Mexico to become one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood.
