In 1970, Roeg released his co-directorial (along with Donald Cammell) debut Performance, which featured Mick Jaggger of The Rolling Stones. His follow-up string of films in the 1970s made him a prominent force in cinema. The survival film Walkabout (1971), the influential horror Don’t Look Now (1973), and the iconic science fiction with David Bowie The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) were all widely praised by critics....

When it comes to going out in Hollywood, one usually doesn’t have to twist my arm very hard. A casual request usually works, an invitation to Les Deux is even better, which was where I was at on Tuesday night for the DVD launch party of the new comedy disc, Rockstars of Comedy (CLICK HERE for my DVD review of this hilarious disc). It was my first time at Les Deux, mainly for financial reasons and the fact that I’m not a “club” person, but how many times will I be INVITED to a place like that?...

In attics, basements, or deep into wardrobes, you will find a slowly decaying yearbook that has accumulated vast amounts of dust and serves as a reminder of just how old you are, or in the cases of black and white photographs, just how ancient. Flicking through a tattered old yearbook from your Senior year at college, it brings back that adolescent nostalgia. It may have you curious to see what became of your high-school sweetheart or the one that got away, the class clown, or the bully who inevitably ended up with a crippling drug habit and a stint in jail....

Official figures released Monday indicated that the post-apocalypse movie earned $77.2 million, not the $76.5 million that had astonished box-office analysts when the estimate was released Sunday.
