Samuel Fuller sure knows how to turn up the geopolitical tension, especially in a rip-roaring provocative atom threat adventure, that might have caused problems if anybody cared what movies said back when the Cold War was hot. Richard Widmark skippers a leaky sub to the arctic and discovers that the Chinese communists are going to start WW3 — and blame it on Uncle Sam. It’s an insane comic-book adventure about very serious issues — and we love it.

He’s kicked a door in her hotel room. Broken the windows multiple times on her garage door. Smashed in the glass on the side door to her house. Hit her driver. Spray-painted her security cameras. And busted the back window of her car.

She’s ready for her close-up! Madonna is the red-lipped, cat-eyed face of Rolling Stone's March 2015 issue. In the mag, she gets candid about her true feelings towards Lady Gaga, Kanye West and more.
When asked about Lady Gaga, the 56-year-old said, “I don’t think she wants my crown. We live in a world where people like to pit women against each other. And this is why I love the idea of embracing other females who are doing what I’m doing.”
She also addressed comparisons between her 1989 single, "Express Yourself" and Mother Monster's 2011 hit, "Born This Way." “The only time I ever criticized Lady Gaga was when I felt like she blatantly ripped off one of my songs," she said. "It’s got nothing to do with ‘she’s taking my crown’ or ‘she’s in some space of mine.’ She has her thing. I do think she...

The Apes movies practically defined the law of diminishing returns. Franklin J Schaffner’s seminal science-fiction, Planet of The Apes was one of the biggest hits of 1968. An ingenious adaptation of Pierre Boule’s novel, it won an Oscar for John Chambers’ iconic make-up effects and took the ‘Twist Ending’ to a new level, possibly never surpassed.
Despite the colossal box office returns of its predecessor, Beneath The Planet of The Apes had its budget halved – a penny-pinching exercise that would continue throughout the series. By the time of Conquest of The Planet of The Apes, allegory had taken over spectacle, and the films became a running commentary on racial oppression and the contemporary 1970s actions of the Black Panther movement. Cleverly, the five original Ape movies form a long circular narrative, with the time-travelling chimpanzees of Escape From The Planet of The Apes, giving birth to a son whose...

Trevor Bolder, a bassist best known for his work with Uriah Heep and David Bowie (as one of The Spiders from Mars), has died of cancer at the age of 62.
The bass player first got noticed by the rock world when he left his first band, the Rats, to play with David Bowie in 1971. Bolder eventually played on four Bowie albums: "Hunky Dory" (1971), "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (1972), "Aladdin Sane" (1973) and "Pin Ups" (1973).
Eventually, Bowie's band -- Bolder, guitarist Mick Ronson and drummer Mick Woodmansey -- became known as The Spiders from Mars and toured with Bowie during the 1970s. The group was also featured in the 1973 concert film, "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars."
Bolder joined Uriah Heep in 1976. Other than a short period when he left for the band, Wishbone Ash, in the early 1980s, Bolder stayed with that band...

It's a maxim we're all familiar with: "Can men and women be friends?" Popularized by 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" (of course) and explored by "Seinfeld" and "Friends" and -- probably -- your own life, the hypothetical has become a catch-22 for the modern rom-com. But what if it read differently? What if a pair of besties married and then tried to salvage their friendship? A new indie starring Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg asks just that. From Lee Toland Krieger ("The Vicious Kind"), the film follows a Bff couple whose marriage has hit the skids. Co-written by Jones and Will McCormack, who dated each other before realizing they were better suited as friends, "Celeste and Jesse Forever" is a story about breaking up -- the long, gestating, solitary, drowning-your-sorrows-in-ranch-dressing break-up. And it's as funny as it is impossibly bleak, so much so that when Jones sat down with Moviefone,...

Directed by Michael Apted and narrated by Robert Redford, "Incident at Oglala'' is a temperate but tempestous piece of filmmaking.
Pine Ridge was a powder keg in 1975. The poorest reservation in the United States, it was ravaged by an internecine war and its murder rate was higher than that of the whole state. It was the reservation that had spawned the American Indian Movement, a movement enjoined to call attention to reservation problems. And the movement's very existence , as we see in this film, brought intense government scrutiny.
In the wake of AIM's political advances (a protest trip to Washington in 1972), the FBI sent agents (armed with heavy weapons) to monitor the reservation -- namely, to keep tabs on AIM activity. Not surprisingly, the situation degenerated horrifically: On June 6, 1975, it ignited: Two FBI agents and one Native American were killed in a massive crossfire.
More than 500 Native Americans were arrested -- 90 percent were acquitted or had charges dismissed -- but first-degree murder charges in the deaths of the FBI agents were lodged against three Native Americans. Two were acquitted and the third, Peltier, was sentenced to two consecutive terms in a federal penitentiary.
Cutting evenly between government and Native Americans' recollections of the "incident, '' director Apted captures a vivid, eye-witness sense of the events.
Apted's judicious style -- at no time does "Incident'' seem like an editorial -- conveys not only the context of the terrible deaths that day in both human and political terms but imparts the futility of going against a big-government justice system that can be blinded to human rights.
Punctuated with crisp, time-setting narration by Robert Redford and personalized by rich, place-setting cinematography by Maryse Alberti, "Incident at Oglala'' is no mere talking-heads polemic.
His diligent, balanced direction, undoubtedly, will rally many citizens to the conclusion that in this "Incident at Oglala, '' a grave miscarriage of justice occurred -- that Peltier does deserve a new trial, Be He innocent or guilty.
