  • The Muppets (2011
    The Muppets (2011. Comedy. Rated PG. Directed by James Bobin) A Muppet fanatic and two humans in a budding relationship mobilize the Muppets, now scattered all over the world, to help save the Muppets’ beloved theater from being torn down. Songs, laughter tears ensue. Starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobsen, David Goelz, Bill Barretta. The scenes of Kermit and friends driving across the country are in Tahoe (standing in for the snowy Rocky Mountains) and rural Lincoln in Western Placer County along Wise Road and various cross streets (standing in as the Midwest). Notice the beautiful, green fields along the roadways. \ Some of the road views can be seen from inside Kermit’s car, looking out. Other scenes feature the exterior of the car driving down county roads. The Muppets shot here in part because Placer County diverse terrain is a good substitute for many parts of the US; many other productions have done the same. This was the second time Kermit shot in Placer County. He filmed here for a few days in 2006, for a Superbowl commercial for the Ford Escape Hybrid (at Euchre Bar Tail Head/Iron Point near Alta, CA). Phenomenon (1996. Romantic fantasy. Rated PG. Directed by Jon Turteltaub) An amiable ordinary man of modest ambitions in a small town is inexplicably transformed into a genius. Starring John Travolta, Kyra Sedgewick, Forest Whitaker, and Robert Duvall. 90% of this film was shot in around Auburn, CA in 1995. Some of the locations include the Gold Country Fairgrounds, Machado’s Orchards, and various businesses in Old Town Auburn.

  • SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

    2 a monterey media presentation Written & Directed by MATTHEW MCDUFFIE Starring KALEY CUOCO SASHA PIETERSE CODY HORN LANDON LIBOIRON and VIRGINIA MADSEN PRODUCED BY: MARSHALL BEAR DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: DAVID J. MYRICK EDITOR: BENJAMIN CALLAHAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER: CHRISTOPHER HALL MUSIC BY: IAN HULTQUIST CASTING BY: MARY VERNIEU and LINDSAY GRAHAM Drama Run time: 93 minutes ©2015 Best Possible Worlds, LLC. MPAA: R 3 Synopsis Lifelong friends stumble back home after high school when word goes out on Facebook that the most popular among them has died. Old girlfriends, boyfriends, new lovers, parents… The reunion stirs up feelings of love, longing and regret, intertwined with the novelty of forgiveness, mortality and gratitude. A “Big Chill” for a new generation. Quotes: “Deep, tangled history of sexual indiscretions, breakups, make-ups and missed opportunities. The cinematography, by David J. Myrick, is lovely and luminous.” – Los Angeles Times "A trendy, Millennial Generation variation on 'The Big Chill' giving that beloved reunion classic a run for its money." – Kam Williams, Baret News Syndicate “Sharply written dialogue and a solid cast. Kaley Cuoco and Cody Horn lend oomph to the low-key proceedings with their nuanced performances. Virginia Madsen and Andy Buckley, both touchingly vulnerable. In Cuoco’s sensitive turn, this troubled single mom is a full-blooded character.” – The Hollywood Reporter “A heartwarming and existential tale of lasting friendships, budding relationships and the inevitable mortality we all face.” – Indiewire "Honest and emotionally resonant. Kaley Cuoco delivers a career best performance." – Matt Conway, The Young Folks “I strongly recommend seeing this film! Cuoco plays this role so beautifully and honestly, she broke my heart in her portrayal.” – Hollywood News Source “The film’s brightest light is Horn, who mixes boldness and insecurity to dynamic effect.

  • Abel Ferrara Jaeger-Lecoultre Glory To
    La Biennale di Venezia / 77th Venice International Film Festival American director Abel Ferrara awarded the Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker 2020 prize His new film Sportin’ Life to be presented Out of Competition La Biennale di Venezia and Jaeger-LeCoultre are pleased to announce that the American director Abel Ferrara (Pasolini, Bad Lieutenant, King of New York) is the recipient of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory to the Filmmaker award of the 77th Venice International Film Festival (September 2 - 12, 2020), dedicated to a personality who has made a particularly original contribution to innovation in contemporary cinema. The award ceremony for Abel Ferrara will take place on Saturday September 5th 2020 in the Sala Grande (Palazzo del Cinema) at 2 pm, before the screening Out of Competition of his new film, the documentary Sportin’ Life (Italy, 65') with Abel Ferrara, Willem Dafoe, Cristina Chiriac, Anna Ferrara, Paul Hipp, Joe Delia. With regards to this acknowledgment, the Director of the Venice Film Festival Alberto Barbera has stated: “One of the many merits of Abel Ferrara, who is widely held in esteem despite his reputation as one of the most controversial filmmakers in contemporary cinema, is his undeniable consistency and allegiance to his personal approach, inspired by the principles of independent cinema even when the director had the opportunity to work on more traditional productions. From his first low-budget films, influenced directly by the New York scene populated by immigrants, artists, musicians, students and drug addicts, through his universally recognized masterpieces – The King of New York (1990), Bad Lieutenant (1992) and Body Snatchers (1994) – to his most recent works, increasingly introspective and autobiographical, Ferrara has brought to life a personal and exclusive universe.

    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH FOREST WHITAKER, JAMES MCAVOY, AND KEVIN MACDONALD Forest Whitaker’s electrifying performance as Ugandan leader Idi Amin Dada in The Last King of Scotland was hailed by Wall Street Journal film critic Joe Morgenstern as “one of the great performances of modern movie history.” Fresh from the film’s success at the Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals, Whitaker, co-star James McAvoy, and director Kevin Macdonald met with a rousing ovation at a special preview at the Museum of the Moving Image—the first public screening of the film. The director and the two lead actors discussed the film’s unusual blend of fact and fiction, and the story behind their remarkable collaboration.
