Time is relative to everyone but perhaps most heightened for teenagers, beyond the regimented school periods, when the moment when you receive an email from a friend who is ditching you seems to make it stand still and when time outside class can seem to run unfettered by the rules that govern adults. Graham Foy has a feel for these strange currents and eddies, tapping into them for this feature that is so loose initially it almost seems to repel all sense of narrative.
Kyle (Jackson Sluiter) and Colton (Marcel T Jiménez) are having one of those long hazy days of summer that is filled and empty simultaneously. Attacking life at the gallop on their skateboards, we see their day unfold in fragments. They find a dead cat in a half-built house along with an ancient cassette player that plays Roger Miller’s Dear Heart - the hissy sound of which.

'Year of the Month' will never have a ring to it. I know this but I love themes. Don't hate me because I'm thematical. This month we're having a 50th anniversary party for 1964... (next month it's 1989's 25th) which is a fancy way of counting down to Monday, June 30th's Supporting Actress Smackdown wherein we'll be looking at performances from Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, The Chalk Garden, My Fair Lady, The Night of the Iquana and Zorba the Greek.
So get to watching those movies so you can vote in the reader ballot!
But before we get to all that: 1964's vintage in list form (we did this once before for 1983 if you remember) since you always want lists, yes? Let's savor 1964's aged cinematic crop....

Turns out Barbra Streisand won't be the only diva doing a star turn on this year's Oscarcast. On Friday, the academy announced that Dame Shirley Bassey is set to sing "Goldfinger" as part of the golden anniversary tribute to the James Bond film franchise. This marks the first appearance on the Oscars for the Welsh songstress, who rocketed to fame stateside in 1964 with her rendition of this title track to the third Bond film. (Watch her belt out this number in the first video below.) -Insertgroups:8- That song was snubbed by the Oscars as were Bassey's other two Bond theme tunes -- her iconic rendition of "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971) and the less memorable "Moonraker" (1979). In 1964, the Best Song Oscar went to "Chim, Chim, Cheer-ee" from "Mary Poppins," the biggest hit of the year. The four also-rans include three title tracks little heard since -- "Dear Heart," "Hush Hus...

"I'd hate to die young and never have made Grapes of Wrath. Life goes by so fast...I just don't want to miss out on anything." Jon-Erik Hexum Jon-Erik Hexum (he was advised to drop the 'C' in favour of a 'K' as it looked much stronger,) and used to go by the name of Jack; was born November 5 1957 in Englewood, New Jersey. He was 6' 1", and of Norweigan/Icelandic descent. His parents Gretha and Thorleif Hexum separated when he was 5. He had an older brother, Gunnar.

By most accounts, Harry Cohn was a royal son of a bitch.
For the uninformed, Harry Cohn was co-founder of Columbia Pictures, and the autocratic ruler of the studio from its founding in 1919 until his death in 1958. He was vulgar, crass, tyrannical, a screaming, foul-mouthed verbal bully i.e. a royal son of a bitch.
He was also a cheap son of a bitch.
Originally considered a “Poverty Row” studio, Cohn’s Columbia – at least at first – refused to build a roster of salaried stars as the other studios did. Cohn didn’t want the overhead or the headaches he saw saddling other studio chiefs with their contract talent. Cheaper and easier was to pay those studios a flat fee for the one-time use of their marquee value stars to give Columbia’s B-budgeted flicks an A-list shine. Columbia was considered such a nickel-and-dime outfit at the time that other...

On the set of Giant, not recognising her, I asked her on a date. She turned me down, but with a grace and humour I never forgot
When people say, "She's got everything", I've got one answer – I haven't had tomorrow.
– Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor may have been "the most beautiful woman in the world" but the great thing is that she didn't always look it. During the filming of Giant, my duty as a Hollywood agent was to hang around Warner Brothers to pick off dissatisfied clients from rival agents and keep an ear open for money-making gossip. In the picture's lunch break for studio workers, who were setting up interiors and closeups, I got my taco and beans from the on-lot catering coach and at a plank table sat opposite a quite ordinarily attractive, freckle-faced woman, her hair in a bandanna, who I assumed was a makeup person...
