There’s An App for That!

Take a look at these images for the just-released TCM Hollywood Tour app:

     

Some of the cool features for this app include (taken from Official Press Release):

Over 100 locations covered: the app serves as a guide to 100 Hollywood locations – including movie-star mansions, studio lots, celeb hangouts, legendary film locations and more.

Welcome by Robert Osborne: a special video introduction from the TCM host with the most.

A Virtual Tour: this tour allows users to explore by neighborhood or browse the list view from anywhere in the world. They can also use the play button and forward/reverse controls to explore all the locations in a photo gallery view.

Badges: Fans can collect badges for each place they visit, whether they are using the guided or self-guided tour while in the LA area (anyone who succeeds in collecting all 100 badges – by visiting all of the guided tour’s destinations in person – will be awarded a special prize)!

Geo-location: this services guide users to each destination. Rate and Review options for each location.

The TCM Hollywood Tour app is available only for the iPhone and iPod Touch and can be purchased from the iTunes Store (purchase price = $2.99).

Personally, I am a bit reluctant to buy an app if it exceeds $0.99-$1.99 ($0.99) if I am being totally honest, but app looks very useful especially when trying to navigate a city as spread out as Los Angeles. Maybe I will get it in time for the 2013 TCM Film Festival!

 

Is this something you would be interested in?

TCM Announces 3 NEW Original Programs for 2012

For all of my classical movie fans out there – looks like TCM is going from strength to strength with three all-new program specials (Source: Turner Press Release):

AFI Master Class: The Art of Collaboration – David O. Russell and Mark Wahlberg – premiers Tuesday, May 8
In its continuing series of specials exploring some of the greatest artistic collaborations in film today, will focus on actor-producer Mark Wahlberg and director-writer-producer David O. Russell, who discuss their collaborations in front of an audience comprised of AFI Fellows studying filmmaking at the world-renowned AFI Conservatory. Their work together includes the Iraq-set drama Three Kings (1999), which co-starred Wahlberg, George Clooney and Ice Cube, and The Fighter(2010), with Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. This one-hour special is packed with clips from both men’s careers, as well as from movies that have inspired them, including It’s A Wonderful Life (1946),and Man of a Thousand Faces (1957). It is the second installment ofAFI’s Master Class series, which debuted in 2011 with the collaboration between master filmmaker Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams and included film clips and discussion ranging from Jaws (1975) to Schindler’s List (1993) and On the Waterfront(1954) to Amadeus (1994).

 

Untitled Richard D. Zanuck Documentary – Premiering in September
A portrait of a cinema icon will examine the different facets of prolific producer Richard D. Zanuck, whose credits include Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975), Sidney Lumet’s The Verdict (1982), Ron Howard’s Cocoon (1985) and Bruce Beresford’s Oscar®-winning Best Picture Driving Miss Daisy (1989), as well as Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes (2001), Big Fish (2003), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and the upcoming Dark Shadows (2012). The documentary will explore Zanuck’s life and career, from his family legacy to his successes and challenges. Interviews include Zanuck himself, family members and such Hollywood notables as Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, Ron Howard, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sherry Lansing, Lawrence Gordon, Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, William Friedkin, Alfred Uhry, Tom Rothman and Cart Gottlieb, to name a few. This feature-length documentary special, written, produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau (TCM’s A Night at the Movies documentaries) is a co-production of TCM and Amblin Television.

 

A Night at the Movies: Hollywood Goes to Washington – Premiering in October
As America heads into the voting booth to select a president, TCM will dive into the political fray with this look at how Hollywood treats the democratic process. Beginning with a defining film Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), this latest installment in TCM’s A Night at the Movies series will explore how filmmakers have approached the touch subject of politics, including films about political campaigns, political conspiracies, and political figures. The special will examine such classic films as All the King’s Men (1949), The Last Hurrah (1958), Advise & Consent (1962), The Candidate (1972), All the President’s Men (1976), Reds (1981), and many others. A Night at the Movies: Hollywood Goes to Washington is produced by Amblin Television andaward-winning filmmaker and author Laurent Bouzereau, with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey (TNT’s Falling Skies) serving as executive producers.

Looks like we have a whole lot to look forward too!

Programming Notice – TCM Presents the Work of Merchant-Ivory Productions

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Merchant-Ivory productions, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is holding a month-long tribute, airing movies every Thursday night for the month of September. Unfortunately I was unable to watch the first night of movies (9/8) because I was attending a wedding but I am determined to go all in starting tonight.

The lineup for this evening’s programming is:

  • Remains of the Day, The (1993) – currently on
  • Howards End (1992)
  • A Room With a View (1985)
  • Maurice (1987)

The directing/producing team of James Ivory and Ismail Merchant. Their trademark is a collection of films that are understated adaptations of novels. Often these films were written for the screen by long time collaborator Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.

Easily my favorite of the bunch is A Room With a View with Howards End and Remains of the Day. I do however easily concede that these films are not for everyone. For some, the pacing and restraint shown in several of their films can leave one feeling a bit overanxious for something more active to appear on screen. For me the strength of the performances more than makes up

Consult the TCM Program Guide for a full layout of the schedule.
