Crazy Horse Trailer: Frederick Wiseman Goes NSFW For Nude Revue

Docmaker Frederick Wiseman is legendary for his epic verite studies of institutions and the people who create, inhabit and/or operate them. He and his Zipporah Films banner are not quite as well-known for scandalously marketing said studies. But that was all before he made Crazy Horse , his all-access, skin-baring glimpse behind the scenes of the world’s most famous nude cabaret.

First Look inside The Hammer Vault, the Coffee-Table Tribute to a Horror Institution

I’ve spent the last few days transfixed by The Hammer Vault , Marcus Hearn’s new tour through the history and archives of the infamous genre maestros at Hammer Films. It’s got everything — from the stories behind the celebrated creature features of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing to remembrances of the risible pseudo-PSA Never Take Sweets From a Stranger to a rummage through such unmade Hammer fare like When the Earth Cracked Open and the awesome Zeppelin vs Pterodactyls (seriously). And while its official January release date won’t necessarily help you for the holidays, it’s worth earmarking a line in the early 2012 budget for any horror, fantasy and B-movie devotees in your life. CORRECTION : The publisher writes to say that it will be out for the holidays! Hallelujah!

At the center of Tomas Alfredson’s marvelously taut espionage thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (based on the John Le Carré novel previously adapted into a celebrated 1979 British miniseries) is an unusually understated turn by Gary Oldman as George Smiley, a recently retired career spy of few words quietly trying to uncover a mole within British intelligence. Oldman acknowledges a departure of sorts from the wild, often manic characters he built much of his career on — Sid Vicious, Count Dracula, Beethoven, DEA agent Stansfield of Leon, to name a few. Some of Oldman’s best-known roles are, as he described to Movieline this week in Los Angeles, more rock ‘n’ roll. “Smiley,” he explained, “is jazz .”
