Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?: An overwhelming study of life and illusion

21 August 2009 8:26 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

There are many things in this world that I find truly baffling. Why are we destroying our marine habitats so that rich Japanese restaurants can sell expensive soup? Why do we demand that politicians solve all our problems for us, while secretly willing them to fail? Why do we keep expecting Guy Ritchie to make another good film? But perhaps the most baffling of all is the fact that Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has never been released on DVD in Britain. It is perhaps the finest filmic adaptation of a stage play ever rendered on celluloid. But only American audiences are able to enjoy it in the comfort of their own homes. Adaptations of plays can often be morbidly dull. They rely on the same visceral energy and tension that works so well in a theatre but is almost impossible to transfer onto a video recording that will be »

DVD: Review: Lookin’ To Get Out!

30 June 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

The ‘80s were a lost decade for many titans of ‘70s cinema, but few fell harder or steeper than Oscar-winning editor turned director Hal Ashby. In the ‘70s, Ashby logged an astonishing run of classics that included Harold & Maude, The Last Detail, Shampoo, Bound For Glory, Coming Home, and Being There. Ashby’s winning streak ended abruptly with 1981’s long-shelved Second-Hand Hearts and continued until his early death. So while the release of an extended version of a Hal Ashby film with never-before-seen footage should be a cause for celebration, viewers would be wise to view the extended cut ... »

David Carradine: 1936-2009

4 June 2009 10:49 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

David Carradine, best known as the star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. News reports said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide. He was 72.

Since every other obituary is going to mention his role as as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s television series Kung Fu and the 1990s spinoff Kung Fu: The Legend Continues as the grandson of his original character, and every other genre site is going to mention his role as Frankenstein in the original Death Race and his role as Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, we'd like to take a moment and remember him for a different role-- as Woody Guthrie in the Hal Ashby film Bound For Glory:

David Carradine Found Dead in Hotel Room

4 June 2009 7:05 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

David Carradine, best known for his leading role of Kwai Chang Caine on TV's Kung Fu in the 1970s, died Wednesday in Bangkok, where he was shooting a film, his manager confirmed Thursday. The star was 72.

According to manager Chuck Binder, the movie's producer went to Carradine's hotel room and found that he had passed away. Binder told Fox News the death is "shocking and sad. He was full of life, always wanting to work ... a great person."

Married five times and divorced four - he is survived by his widow, Annie Bierman, whom he married in 2004 - Carradine starred as folk singer Woody Guthrie in the 1976 Best Picture Oscar nominee Bound for Glory. Among his later screen roles was in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, in which he played Bill.

Varied and Long Career

As profiled in People in 1992, Carradine was born in Hollywood to the actor John Carradine and his first wife, Ardanelle, and was just 7 when his parents divorced.

Shuttled between the two, he grew up in boarding schools on both coasts. Although he was orphaned emotionally, he did become close to the seven stepbrothers and half brothers he would accumulate during Dad's four marriages: Ardanelle's older son, Bruce; Chris, Keith and Bobby (whose mother was actress Sonia Sorel); Mike Bowen (Sonia's son from an earlier marriage); and Mike and Dale Grimshaw (John's stepsons by third wife Doris Rich).

By 1970, Carradine says, "I had a house in the Hollywood Hills that virtually every brother has lived in. It was like this safe harbor. We all took care of each other."

David's acting breakthrough - as an Inca king on Broadway in 1965's The Royal Hunt of the Sun when he was 29 - came only after lean years of studying music and ballet at San Francisco State, a brief Army hitch and a life-support gig as a prune picker. »
