Starr Parodi was elected new president of the Alliance for Women Film Composers on Sunday, succeeding Lolita Ritmanis.
Parodi — who first came to prominence as a member of the “Arsenio Hall Show” house band — has extensive television credits including “The Division,” “The Starter Wife,” “G.I. Joe: Renegades” and “Transformers: Rescue Bots,” along with film credits including “Conversations With Other Women” and music for hundreds of movie trailers.
Her version of the James Bond Theme, created for the “GoldenEye” trailer with composing partner Jeff Eden Fair, was widely acclaimed and earned gold-record status in 2004 as part of the “Best of Bond” CD collection.
Parodi was the first woman to compose orchestral music for the 85-year-old Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, where she continues to be a featured composer. Her recent neoclassical album “The Heart of Frida,” celebrating the spirit of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, won Solo Piano Album of...

Pillow Talk (1959)

Having seen and admired his work on several features, I could’ve only assumed that cinematographer Steve Yedlin is well-acquainted with his profession, yet I found myself surprised when digging into his presentation at this year’s Camerimage International Film Festival, “On Image Acquisition and Pipeline for High-Resolution Exhibition.” Fortunately, those who were not in Poland can (and should) dig in with “On Color Science,” an extensive piece in which he runs through the tiny, tiny nuances that create various balances in any given image — and it’s not as simple as film vs. digital.
There is, of course, also the fact of his being Rian Johnson‘s regular cinematographer, including a new feature tentatively titled Star Wars: Episode VIII. That is covered in due time, though the broader discussion we were having up to that point proved so engaging, and often so assertive, in its authority that I didn’t want to distract.

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter at the Academy Awards Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter on the Oscars' Red Carpet Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter sported matching hairdos upon their arrival at the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony held on Feb. 27 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Tim Burton's global blockbuster Alice in Wonderland, in which Helena Bonham Carter is one of the featured players (as the Red Queen), won Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction. Bonham Carter was a Best Supporting Actress nominee for Tom Hooper's The King's Speech (as another queen, Elizabeth). Helena Bonham Carter: Career boosted by Oscar nomination Helena Bonham Carter's film career began in earnest in James Ivory's 1986 Best Picture Oscar nominee A Room with a View, in which she romanced Julian Sands. She kept on working without creating too much of a stir – e.g., Lady Jane,...

After impressing on TV and in films such as Alpha Dog and Rush, the actor's improvised turn in her new film Drinking Buddies has truly hit a nerve
If travelling really does have the edge over arriving, Olivia Wilde must be enjoying the time of her life. It is no slight on this poised, intuitive performer to say that she has been on her way for most of her career. Each year has brought with it another handful of movies that might give her the success and recognition she deserves – or might not. But here she comes again anyway. The question being: when is she finally going to get there?
It's not that she has wanted for work or variety. She has acquitted herself well in delicate indies (Conversations with Other Women), intense, macho-method drama (Alpha Dog) and blockbusters festooned with CGI (Cowboys and Aliens, Tron: Legacy). She had a...

The actor certainly likes a good chat – about cigars, women, 70s action heroes, Twitter, self-healing and his new role as a Us president. But he does have a weak spot
Aaron Eckhart's day began as they all do: an hour in the gym, then same again with a cigar. Jetlag cannot disrupt that, snow can throw no spanners. "I was outside at 6am smoking with my hood on, watching everyone come to work, freezing my ass off. That's how dedicated I am."
Then breakfast, another cigar, four hours of interviews and lunch in his room, Moby on the deck, steak on the plate. "I ordered it medium rare. I got it medium beyond." Did he finish it? "Oh yeah, every little bit. I am a carnivore." Then another cigar. He'd like to be puffing on one right now. At least three more will get sucked before he sleeps.

Chicago – It’s taken quite a few movies for me to warm up to Chris Messina. Perhaps it wasn’t his fault that he kept getting typecast as oafish, self-absorbed jerks. In my review of Dana Adam Shapiro’s flawed Oscilloscope release, “Monogamy,” I confessed that every time Messina’s face showed up onscreen, I was “suddenly filled with the intense desire to punch it.”
It’s only been in the last year or so that I began to appreciate Messina’s fearlessness as a performer. He isn’t afraid to explore the dark terrain avoided by fellow actors more concerned with likability than truth. The same could be said of Zoe Kazan, whose debut feature script for the marvelous romance, “Ruby Sparks,” gave Messina his best role to date as a typically suave ladykiller blindsided by the all-too-perfect woman who entered the life of his hopelessly neurotic brother.

Chicago – Director Jack C. Newell ended up meeting one of his great collaborators while taking classes at Columbia College Chicago. His future filmmaking partner turned out to not be a fellow peer, but his teacher, Ron Falzone. Together, they made the acclaimed short, “Typing,” about two Hollywood screenwriters whose brainstorming session draws inspiration from the clacking of typewriter keys in the next room.
Newell and Falzone’s first feature effort is “Close Quarters,” an endearing and insightful collection of parallel vignettes set in a Chicago coffee shop. Baristas Abby (Erica Unger) and Barry (Seth Unger) flirt with the possibility of long-term romance while observing the dysfunctional relationships of their customers. Two friends, Patrick (Tj Jagodowski) and Olivia (Kate Duffy), chat upstairs while their respective partners, Dina (Holly Laurent) and Cary (Dave Pasquesi), make love in the downstairs bathroom.

News that maverick Bavarian director Werner Herzog has been cast as the villain in the forthcoming Tom Cruise thriller One Shot should come as no surprise to anyone who recognised the source of Hugo Weaving's devilishly accented performance in Captain America. There is something about Herzog's deadpan voice that suggests awesome, infinite, unworldly powers just waiting to be unleashed. It's a quality that he uses brilliantly in the documentaries that have become his signature works, enabling him to speak merrily of the "ecstatic truth" of art and the attendant "chaos, disharmony and murder" of the cosmos with a blend of quasi-religious import and pathos. When the day of reckoning comes, I half expect to hear Herzog's voice calmly separating the damned from the redeemed, the strangely comedic sound of a divinity that shapes our ends…

The Dark Knight may have made more than a billion dollars worldwide but it most certainly wasn't a lavish production, according to Aaron Eckhart.
Eckhart, who played Gotham district attorney Harvey Dent and his disfigured alter-ego Two-Face, reveals to Empire: "I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but Chris Nolan runs things like an independent movie. You're not treated like a big star, it's all about the movie. There are no extravagances whatsoever."
Despite Nolan's seemingly more modest approach to big-budget Hollywood filmmaking, Eckhart says it's usually possible to tell the difference between an indie flick and a blockbuster by the size of the actor's on-set trailer.
He revealed: "At some point they become stupid big - you know, with a fireplace and a gym. What's important for me is that it doesn't have cockroaches in it and it doesn't smell like piss. Which I've had. On the film Conversations with Other Women,...

Aaron Eckhart says living in London was the best time in his life. The "Rabbit Hole" actor initially resented relocating to the U.K. when he was a teenager, but once he had settled down, he loved the opportunities and adventures he was able to have.
"Frankly, it was tortuous at first - I was torn out of sunny California and out in Ripley. In the winter. In a pink house," Aaron, who was born in Cupertino, California, said. "But then I was going to the Hammersmith Odeon to see all the bands, I was going to the Hippodrome, to Wembley."

"Frankly, it was tortuous at first - I was torn out of sunny California and out in Ripley. In the winter. In a pink house," Aaron, who was born in Cupertino, California, said. "But then I was going to the Hammersmith Odeon to see all the bands, I was going to the Hippodrome, to Wembley."

Subject: Helena Bonham Carter, 44-year old English actress
Date of Assessment: November 26, 2010
Positive Buzzwords: Versatile, ethereal, Burton
Negative Buzzwords: Typecast, overrated, Burton
The Case: Helena Bonham Carter can do what few leading ladies in Hollywood can do. That is, this woman can rock a corset and updo like nobody's business and with far more aplomb than the likes of Keira Knightley. Let's be upfront about the Burton in the room though, for it's simply impossible to ignore the perpetual threesome between Carter, Johnny Depp, and director Tim Burton, the latter of which has also been Helena's "domestic partner" since 2001. Now, would Carter have appeared within several Burton films -- Planet of the Apes; Big Fish; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; Corpse Bride; Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street; Alice in Wonderland -- if she weren't also sleeping with the man in charge? Perhaps not, but if Helena weren't around,...

Things are going Wilde on the big screen. House co-star Olivia Wilde is on fire lately with the movie gigs. She's got Paul Haggis' The Next Three Days and Tron: Legacy on the way, she's filming Jon Favreau's Cowboys & Aliens this summer, and now Movieline reports that she's grabbed a role in Butter, Jim Field Smith's satire "that plays out the themes of the 2008 Democratic primary by using an Iowa butter-carving competition as the setting."
I'll give you one guess as to the type of role she's playing -- one that's not really indicative of her acting talents, but Hollywood's love of that one female theme, which gets used over and over and over again. Of course, I'm talking about stripperdom. Wilde will play a tattooed stripper with a Betty Page 'do, who is the mistress of a term-limited carving champion (Ty Burrell). Jennifer Garner is his "long-suffering wife,...

Aaron Eckhart says he's "living in a cocoon." How else to explain how he's managed to avoid the controversy surrounding his latest movie, Towelhead? Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Alicia Erian and written and directed by Oscar-winning American Beauty screenwriter Alan Ball, the film explores the sexual awakening of 13-year-old Jasira (newcomer Summer Bishil), who is sent to live with her Lebanese father (Peter Macdissi) in Houston in the early 1990s. Eckhart takes a supporting role as Mr. Vuoso, the flag-flying Army reservist neighbor who develops a sexual relationship with Jasira. The film is an unflinching — and frequently hilarious — look at infidelity, racism, and sexuality.And not everyone is a fan. After the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, Fox News ran the headline "Kiddie Porn Movie Rocks Toronto as 'Feel-Awful' Film of the Year" and reviewer Roger Fridman went on to label the movie "odious" and "unacceptable.

Screened at South by Southwest
As Conversations With Other Women begins, the screen is split in half. One side watches Aaron Eckhart, seemingly in Lothario mode, as he stalks a wedding party guest he intends to approach; the other watches his prey, Helena Bonham Carter.
Nice way to jump into the action, you think: The camera establishes our identification with Eckhart from within (the POV shots) and without; when the image goes full-screen, we'll know who the protagonist is in this pas de deux.
A few minutes later, though, you're still waiting -- and an overtly clever device starts to become a serious distraction from the tale it's trying to tell. Director Hans Canosa continues the split screen throughout the film, often keeping us from identifying with the drama as we otherwise would. Although the technique occasionally serves some interesting purpose, it is almost certain to be a stumbling block with audiences, limiting the commercial appeal of an already intimate film.
The two protagonists are never named, and the script (by Gabrielle Zevin, who worked with Canosa on the festival-circuit film Alma Mater) is coy about their histories. We quickly learn that this is no straightforward pickup: The two have met before, years ago, under similar circumstances. As they flirt, one side of the screen will sometimes flit back to that earlier meeting, where two younger actors play the pair. We see enough to know that they met more than once, maybe that they were lovers. Why is their conversation not acknowledging this?
One obvious reason is to make things more interesting for us. Viewers who don't find the conceit too contrived will be drawn into the reasonably witty banter, forgetting about the split-angle distraction until Canosa does something particularly distracting: settling the cameras into two nearly parallel views, say, or sending an extra to pass between us and the actors, jostling our sense of the angles involved. He does this fairly often.
At other times the filmmakers do more profitable things with the dual frames. They show us what a character is thinking, in romantic flashback or quick slices of foreshadowing; late in the game, as the pair begin to make decisions with consequences, they use the extra screen to show alternate line readings, roads considered and not taken. Those glimpses become freighted with melancholy as the tale becomes a reflection on the passing of time and the vicissitudes of love. Both performances are strong, though the film continues to favor Eckhart, who may be harboring deep emotions beneath his glib charm.
Eckhart grows alternately peevish and desperate as things don't go his way. Bonham Carter, on the other hand, seems to allow herself to be led around, more preoccupied with a sudden sense of her age than with her old flame. The characters are not completely convincing as scripted, but the actors skate past this with enough charisma that we don't pause to ask questions. (Why is Bonham Carter at the wedding, for example? The explanation offered in the opening scenes becomes less satisfactory the more we learn.)
That the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting. Whether audiences will respect the film the morning after the seduction is an open question.

Aaron Eckhart has booked a starring turn in Brian De Palma's The Black Dahlia, which Millennium Films and Signature Pictures are producing.

Josh Friedman wrote the adaptation. Eckhart recently finished starring in three indie films: Room 9's Thank You for Smoking, with Robert Duvall and William H. Macy; Conversations With Other Women, opposite Helena Bonham Carter; and Neverwas, with Brittany Murphy. He also appeared in Erin Brockovich and In the Company of Men. Eckhart is repped by CAA and attorneys Barry Hirsch and David Matloff.
