David McKnight, who portrayed the title character in the cult blaxploitation horror classic J.D.’s Revenge and appeared in Hollywood Shuffle and The Five Heartbeats for Robert Townsend, has died. He was 87.
McKnight died Sunday of cancer in Las Vegas, his friend and publicist Cynthia Busby told The Hollywood Reporter.
McKnight also showed up on dozens of TV shows, from Kojak, Hill Street Blues, The Incredible Hulk, Dynasty and Benson to Moonlighting, 227, Roc, L.A. Law and The District.
In the New Orleans-set J.D.’s Revenge (1976), directed by Arthur Marks, McKnight played a deceased hustler who takes over the body of a college student (Glynn Turman) and goes after the man who murdered him and his sister 30 years earlier.
In a 2018 interview, McKnight said that he first met Townsend when the first-time feature filmmaker was putting together Hollywood Shuffle (1987) and offered him advice.

Film fans talk about the 1990s as another Golden Age of cinema. Not only is there the jam-packed year of 1999, which gave us classics such as The Matrix, Toy Story 2, and The Talented Mr. Ripley, but the 90s also saw the rise of new auteurs, including Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, and Guillermo del Toro. Hollywood turned its attention to indie and foreign films, enriching a moviegoing experience that still featured fan-favorite blockbusters.
But to really see how good the 90s were, we can’t just look at the hits. Rather, the flops tell us the true tale of the decade’s quality – the movies that audiences skipped at the time but have proven their worth in the years that followed. Here are the best flops of the 1990s; films that couldn’t find a wide enough audience upon release, but still deserve attention today.

I first became introduced to the work of Robert Townsend unceremoniously when his family sitcom, The Parent ‘Hood, premiered on The WB network in 1995. A professorial father figure with a wife and four children, Townsend’s character seemed, at least to my adolescent eyes, the ideal American dad. A noble role that fit him like a glove, Townsend must have enjoyed following up his caped-crusader directorial effort, The Meteor Man, with a sitcom that afforded him a more domesticated form of heroism. Those types of roles were not often offered to Townsend. Released in 1987, his directorial debut, Hollywood Shuffle, […]

As an increasing number of theater chains have switched to reserved seating across the country, moviegoers no longer have to arrive early to save seats. While the move has helped boost concession sales, it comes at a price: missing the advertising pre-show.
National CineMedia (Ncm), the country’s largest cinema advertising company, has found a way to attract crowds back to those precious early minutes before the movie starts by developing augmented reality (Ar) interactive video games.
“We’re not trying to be a gaming company,” Ncm’s chief digital officer Rick Butler tells TheWrap. “We want to partner with the studios and the exhibitors around movie awareness for in-theater and extend that entertainment value outside the theater.”

Edgar Wright was, by his own account, "21 years old, living in North London, broke and on the dole – that's British for 'welfare'" in 1995 when he was struck by what he can only compare to a near-religious vision. The filmmaker was in the process of editing his first movie, a low-budget Spaghetti western homage, but the future director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz had nothing lined up and no sense of what he really wanted to do with his life. And then he put on "Bellbottoms," the first...

I first became aware of Kurt Kuenne’s work when I saw his 2011 feature Shuffle on the festival circuit; that film, an audacious psychological thriller about a man who finds himself waking up each morning at a different stage of his life, was an extraordinary fiction debut for a director who, I later discovered, had also made one of the most powerful documentaries of recent years. Dear Zachary (2008) begins as Kuenne’s tribute to a murdered friend and develops into an excruciating portrait of a legal system gone horribly wrong; it’s touching, enraging, devastating, and inspiring in equal measures. Last year’s […]...

Jimmy O sits down with Kurt Kuenne, the man behind one of the most powerful documentaries of the last decade (Dear Zachary: A Letter To A Son About His Father), to talk about his new film Shuffle (available now on DVD and Netflix streaming).

If you haven’t seen, or heard of, Dear Zachary- and sadly, the chances of that are quite high- then you simply must watch it. It is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, and definitely the most emotionally devastating- it is more effective and powerful that Catfish, Fahrenheit 9/11, The Cove or even The Imposter. Perhaps the reason it is so is because its director, Kurt Kuenne, was at the heart of the documentary- the subject of the documentary, the late Dr. Andrew Bagby, was Kuenne’s close friend- Bagby was murdered by his ex, also the mother of his son, Zachary. The documentary serves not only as a tribute to Andrew by those who knew him best, but also a harrowing portrait of how Andrew’s murderer escaped justice.
Kuenne is an eclectic and talented guy- in addition to directing documentaries like Drive-In Movie Memories and feature films such as Scrapbook,...

Featuring T.J. Thyne, Paula Rhodes, Chris Stone, Tamara Taylor
Anyone remember that old U2 song “Stuck in a Moment That You Can’t Get Out Of”?
Meet photographer Lovell Milo (T.J. Thyne, of the seemingly immortal Fox procedural Bones). Not only he is stuck in a moment he can’t get out of, he’s stuck in plenty of them. As Lovell explains to a therapist in the film’s opening scene, one day he woke up and he was 92 years old. The next, he was 24. The next day, he was 15. Today, he’s 30. He can barely remember his name, or his situation, other than that sometimes he has an inclination to be a photographer. All he knows is every time he closes his eyes and falls asleep, he’ll open them and be somewhen else.

I never feel more like an idiot than when I write a movie off or judge the proverbial book by its cover and then watch it only to discover what a gem I almost passed up. The indie film Shuffle is a perfect example of my narrow-mindedness. What sounds like a low-budget straight-to-dvd knock-off of The Butterfly Effect is so much more and is teeming with heart that movie could only dream of mustering up.
A man named Lovell Milo (Tj Thyne) begins waking up in different eras of his life. He's living out of order and aware of it. Cryptic messages from individuals in each time period tell him to pay attention so he can help save someone's life.
Director Kurt Kuenne perfectly captures on film so much genuine emotion it's almost overwhelming to watch at times. Not overwhelming in a bad way. It's in that rollercoaster ride kind of a way.

Quadrophenia (Criterion) Franc Roddam’s 1979 film based on The Who’s classic rock opera tells the story of working class lad Jimmy (Phil Daniels) struggling to find his identity in a rapidly changing Britain, circa 1965. Jimmy is a “mod,” a youth movement dedicated to wearing snappy suits, driving Vespa motor scooters bedecked with side mirrors, popping amphetamines and obsessed with the new sound of bands like The Who and The Kinks. Their other pastime is engaging in bloody brawls with “rockers,” throwbacks to the 1950s, who listen to Elvis and Gene Vincent, wear leather biker gear, grease in their hair and drive massive motorcycles a la Marlon Brando in “The Wild One.” Often cited as a worthy successor to “Rebel Without a Cause” as the greatest angry youth picture ever made, it is that and more, including a first cousin to the “kitchen sink” dramas of scribes John Osborne,...

His thirty year old mind and memories remain intact as a ten year old, a ninety year old, and anywhere in between. Things get even more complicated when he discovers his wife has died under potentially mysterious circumstances, but can he use his uncontrollable life-hopping ability to make things right? It’s tough making science fiction films on an indie budget, but writer/director Kurt Kuenne (Dear Zachary: A Letter To a Son About His Father) takes a sci-fi concept and uses it to tell a very human story. Loss, redemption, and forgiveness are just a few of the themes shown to transcend time, and the film explores them with beauty, humor and vitality.

We're continuing to see a lot of documentary filmmakers make the jump to fiction as of late, (ie. Seth Gordon, Errol Morris, heck, even Morgan Spurlock also just revealed that he is shooting his first narrative film this summer), and although it makes sense from a career standpoint, it makes you realize that not every non-fiction director is cut out to direct fiction. So what about Kurt Kuenne, the man behind the acclaimed crime documentary Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father? He was criticized by some for turning his non-fiction film into a very personal and passionate diatribe against the Canadian justice system, but it did make for a better story. Now he's putting those storytelling skills to use with his first fictional feature Shuffle, and it looks like it paid off as the movie just picked up a distributor.

Here's a trailer to a very interesting sci-fi movie called Shuffle, with a very cool concept. The movie was written and directed by Kurt Kuenne (Dear Zachary) and it's described as a cross between Groundhog Day and Memento.
It's the story of a man played by Tj Thyne "who begins experiencing his life out of order; every day he wakes up at a different age, in a different year, on a different day of his life." He "has no idea why he keeps waking up at different points in his life. Using clues from each experience, he begins to piece together why this keeps happening to him and sets out to end it once and for all."
I really like that concept and it looks like it was executed pretty well. It has a nice Twilight Zone kind of vibe to it. Watch the trailer and let us know if...

Last week we brought you distribution news regarding the next film from the helmer of the tragic documentary Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, and now a trailer has arrived. Directed by Kurt Kuenne, he is switching up genres with the sci-fi film Shuffle, which takes a Groundhog Day cue and follows “a man who wakes up at a different age in his life each morning.” I like the concept and while it doesn’t seem to be the most technically proficient film, I hope Kuenne can stir up the same kinds of emotion here in an entirely different genre. Starring T.J. Thyne and Paula Rhodes, one can check it out below via Movies.com.

If you have yet to see the tragic documentary Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, I urge you to go seek it out without getting informed in terms of any sort of plot. Directed by Kurt Kuenne, the power of the film had a lot to do with uncontrollable events and so I’ve been interested to see if he has what it takes to helm something not under these circumstances. It looks like we’ll get to see the results soon, as Variety reports his next film has been picked up for distribution.
He has switched from documentary format to narrative for the sci-fi film Shuffle, which follows “a man who wakes up at a different age in his life each morning.” Starring T.J.

Now, the unofficial Man of Steel Facebook page has brought us a casting rumor for the film, and while unconfirmed by the studio it seems more than plausible to us. They report that Dylan Sprayberry (Shuffle) and Jadin Gould (Battle Los Angeles, Chuck) have been cast in the film as Clark Kent at 13 and 13 year-old Lana Lang respectively.
The page states, “To further add credence to the rumors, both young people were present in the Chicago area, the same dates of approximately Sept 2 to Sept 7, during which certain scenes were shot.”

I had a problem. In the middle of my film "Shuffle"—a "Twilight Zone"–style mystery about a man who begins experiencing his life out of order—the lead actor (T.J. Thyne, roughly age 30) was going to disappear for about 12 minutes, during which time a 10-year-old version of his character would carry the film for about 11 minutes, followed by a 15-year-old version of the same character, who would anchor the film briefly until T.J. returned a minute later. Twelve minutes is a long time. I knew that I could completely lose the audience if I wasn't careful. They had to feel they were watching the same character continuously or the film wouldn't connect. How does one make that happen?First: Get the script right. At all ages, the character must have the same speech patterns, as well as consistent word choice and cadence.
