"Once the sound of the future, now awesomely retro..." Every month, the Criterion Channel streaming service (one of the best in cinema) debuts a series of programming collections. Each one features a batch of films with a particular theme or connection by actor / director / composer. This is one of the best sets that I need to feature! One of June's latest offerings is Synth Soundtracks - a collection of 20 films featuring synthesizer scores, ranging from classics like Forbidden Planet (1956) and Thief (1981) to more obscure titles like Space Is the Place (1974) and Cat People (1982). Everyone knows Vangelis' iconic synth score for Blade Runner, but this selection went with Vangelis' other film Missing (1982). I enjoy this kind of curation because there's such a range of unique movies, not only expected classics. This also includes: A Clockwork Orange (1971), Shogun Assassin (1980), The Legend of Hell House (1973), Liquid Sky (1982), Tenebrae (1982), For All Mankind (1989), Delta Space...

February ushers in a new slate of movies and TV shows making their way to HBO and HBO Max, from a slew of James Bond movies to the recently released Olivia Colman-led “Empire of Light” to, yes, the Puppy Bowl.
“The Terminator,” “Catch Me If You Can,” “Footloose,” “Taxi Driver” and “The Silence of the Lambs” all mark notable library offerings this month, in addition to “Superbad,” “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” and “Eighth Grade.”
Despite HBO Max pulling a number of originals from its roster over the past several months, HBO Max originals premiering on the platform this month include a Dionne Warwick documentary, an adult European animated series titled “Poor Devil” and “Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special” based on the popular animated series.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and HBO Max got the memo. With its list of new releases for February 2023, the HBO streamer is bringing a very special Valentine’s Day episode into the fold.
Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special premieres on Feb. 9 and finds Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy celebrating their first Valentine’s Day together. Consider this a fun little aperitif for the fast approaching Harley Quinn season 3 – which will feature none other than freshly-installed DC czar James Gunn. Other HBO Max original series this month include another C.B. Strike special on Feb. 6 and Spanish-language animated comedy Poor Devil a.k.a. Pobre Diablo on Feb. 17.
February also looks to be a jam-packed month for movies on HBO Max. February 1 sees the arrival of many appealing library titles like Birdman, Casino Royale, The Silence of the Lambs, and The Terminator. Later on HBO Max...

Re Styles, who recorded and sang with The Tubes and contributed to their unique stage attire, has died. She was 72 and passed on April 17, according to multiple news accounts.
Born Shirley Macleod in the Netherlands in 1950, she modeled in Penthouse and Playboy, then moved on to appear in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film The Holy Mountain and Sun Ra’s science fiction film Space is the Place.
She met The Tubes at an art school show, and quickly fell in with the troupe. By 1975, she was coordinating their clothes and stage maneuvers, while appearing onstage herself. In one memorable take, she appeared as heiress Patty Hearst. She would also dress in leather outfits and dance with lead singer Fee Waybill during the song “Mondo Bondage.” In 1979, she married Tubes drummer Prairie Prince.
Styles performed the female lead vocal on the Tubes hit “Prime Time” from the 1979 album Remote Control. She appeared...

The next iteration of CES will commence on January 5, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The gathering where several hundred thousand technology-inclined individuals will oooo and ahhh over the latest advances in things that would make Jules Verne’s head spin will, once again, be home to a healthy representation of the digital media industry among the ever-thinning TVs, inevitably ubiquitous drones, and undoubtedly tons of Vr.
CES’ C Space has subsumed CES’ Entertainment Matters initiative for its 2017 show. That means the experiential programs at C Space will be a focal point for the convention’s advertising, content, entertainment and marketing communities. Or, as the owners and operators of CES at the Consumer Technology Association (Cta) like to market it, C Space is the place where “Advertising geeks out,” “Where the synergies of content and brand integration unfold and grow,” and where “Brands and content collide.”

Space is the place, or it will be soon for Hollywood executives. The $2 billion success of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” proves there’s a four quadrant audience ready to eat up sci-fi tales. It might explain why 20th Century Fox and James Cameron are chasing four more “Avatar” movies, or why “Star Trek” has […]

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

If you check the television landscape for prime-time science fiction programs, you will see black characters, some with well-rounded personalities and even complex story lines. But rarely does a sci-fi TV show/film deal in themes and issues that have a direct effect on people of African descent, with a cast of black characters from various economic/social classes. Except for "Brother From Another Planet" (1984), "Meteor Man" (1993),and "Space Is the Place" (1974, starring the late jazz composure/musician Sun Ra), I can't recall any others. "Tales From The Hood" (1995) could be forced into this group, but I feel that it's more along the lines of...

The term ‘Afrofuturism*’ was coined by an American writer, Mark Dery, in 1994, and many of the key artists and theorists associated with the movement — Sun Ra, George Clinton, Janelle Monae, Flying Lotus, Greg Tate, Octavia Butler, Samuel R. Delany, Alondra Nelson, the list goes on — are/were American. But is it solely an American deal? In curating the film program ‘Space is the Place: Afrofuturism on Film’ at Brooklyn’s BAMcinématek, I wanted to highlight that the movement also has a distinct international, pan-African reach.** I included Wanuri Kahiu’s superb “Pumzi”, which is Kenya’s first science fiction film. “Afronauts” by Frances Bodomo — who grew up in Ghana (and Norway,...

An early announcement for a series coming to BAMcinématek (in Brooklyn, NYC) in April - 15 films screened over 8 days, spread out between April 3 and 15. Titled "Space is the Place: Afrofuturism on Film," and curated by Ashley Clark, you'll recognize most, if not all the films listed below. We've written about them on this blog - some more extensively than others. I'm sure Ashley will have much to say about the series as its dates approach (it comes immediately after the festival that I co-curate that also happens at BAMcinématek); in the meantime, details, released today, follow below: Named for the one and only film starring legendary mystic...

Who isn't a sucker for a good outer-space yarn? Thirty-three summers ago, Ridley Scott chomped through the guts of that candy-ass Star Wars crap and unleashed Alien on the shrieking matinee masses. It was like a Sam Fuller war movie crammed in a tin can, a vessel simultaneously erupting with Cronenbergian body horror, externalized in the creepy-erotic majesty of H.R. Giger's design, and cannily importing a decade of splatterific outrage from the grindhouses and drive-ins to the budding twin cinemas of middle America. All that, and Sigourney Weaver—the Final Girl to end all Final Girls—hanging tough in her iconic panties, and a cat named Jones.
James Cameron upped the ante with Aliens, and Scott never looked back. Until now. The promise of Prometheus has had fanboys and girls in a steaming lather all year. And not undeservedly. The director hasn't done sci-fi since 1982's Blade Runner,...

Everyone in the avant-garde and experimental cinema world seems to revel in the idea of 'space': interior & exterior spaces, how one 'negotiates' space, 'place' vs. 'space', 'virtual' vs. 'physical', mapping vs. traveling, and so on down the line. Really, though, as we're officially immersed in the still foreign space known as the WWW, we're more disoriented now than ever before. I know, it's a predictable statement coming from the filmmaker behind this programme's sole internet-sourced work, but it really is everywhere: Now that we achieve greater mileage within the private space of our own homes than we ever have, how do artists grapple with the evolving standards for representing the three-dimensional world? The six filmmakers showing new work in Wavelengths 4: Space is the Place, naturally, approach this question in very different ways. Chris Kennedy, whose 349 (For Sol LeWitt) began the programme, collapsed one of LeWitt's gallery-sized installations into the...

In its eleventh year, Tiff's Wavelengths programme - which is curated by Andréa Picard and spotlights much of the world's best avant-garde shorts and features - was reduced from six screenings to five. It's anyone's guess as to what prompted the slim, but the end result, in theory, suggested there would be a concentration of the sidebar to only the most superb work, whittling out some of the stragglers and fillers. And - if I may say so myself in as unbiased a voice as possible (my film Coorow-Latham Road screened in the Space is the Place programme) - that is exactly what happened. For this first programme, Picard aggregated a set of films that address - or at the very least were shot on - celluloid itself. It's no radical prediction at this point to suggest that we are living in the 'end times' of analogue image-making formats. Like...

As has been noted many times before, by me and others, the Wavelengths series of the Toronto International Film Festival is like a festival unto itself. So far removed from the red carpet nonsense, the deal-making, and the me-firstism of web journalists hoping to hit the Web with their initial impressions of some new Bryce Dallas Howard vehicle, Wavelengths affords breathing room to cinema and video at its most formally adventurous and, yes, uncommercial. We come here to look and listen, not to look “at” or listen “to,” and if that sounds hopelessly pretentious, come on down to the Jackman Hall and see for yourself. It’s actually quite cleansing, often funny, and a guaranteed good time, at least in part. (Short films are like the weather in my hometown of Houston, Texas. Don’t like it? Wait a moment. It’ll change.)
Sadly, Wavelengths 2011 will be the final year for series curator Andréa Picard.

What follows is the Toronto International Film Festival's announcement of the lineup for Wavelengths, its avant-garde program. To reiterate, the text comes from the festival, which runs from September 9 through 18. See, too, the lineups for Visions, Contemporary World Cinema, Future Projections and the Galas and Special Presentations; entries on further programs are on the way — as are links and notes on this one.
Wavelengths 1: Analogue Arcadia. As celluloid threatens to disappear altogether, Wavelengths launches with a celebratory and elegiac program comprised of doomed desire, vanishing worlds and a love of analogue. Wavelengths launches with a rare screening of Tacita Dean's Edwin Parker (USA/United Kingdom — courtesy of the Marion Goodman Gallery), an intimate portrait of Cy Twombly, one of the great artistic geniuses of the past century. The film's inclusion in the Festival has been exclusively made possible in honour of Twombly, who died on July 5. Dean is...

Anyone out there genuinely looking forward to The Jay Leno Show? Anyone?
Like most Squadders, I'm not too thrilled with NBC's decision to hand over the nightly 10 p.m. timeslot to Leno, leaving less room on the sked for scripted dramas. The thought of watching Leno's incredibly bland stand-up routine and more "Jaywalking" segments in prime time doesn't really appeal to me. But I might just tune in, at least for a few minutes every night, to check out the show's musical segments.
Leno says he plans to showcase interesting musical groupings when the show kicks off Sept. 14. Up first will be Jay-z with superstars Rihanna and Kanye West. On Sept. 17, Leno will feature guitar legend Eric Clapton performing with Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers. Clapton and Hornsby will perform "Space is the Place," a song from Hornsby's new album.
