REVIEW: Corman’s World Lovingly Sketches the Inner Life of a Movie Maverick

Director, producer and distributor Roger Corman’s world seems suspended between magnetic poles: At true north he could be described as the godfather of independently produced and independent-minded film; way down south is the Corman who looks more like the godfather to Don Simpson, a crude flipper of hot cake flicks who originated the high concept, sensation-pummeling mainstream cinema we’re stuck with today. Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel , director Alex Stapleton’s annotated filmography of the filmmaker’s wildly tentacular career, is less an attempt to reconcile those poles than to show how neatly and necessarily they are bound together, by both the financial nature of filmmaking and the stubborn question of taste.

Lindsay Lohan Poses for Playboy, But Will She Take It All Off?

We nearly rocketed out of our tube socks when we heard former child star and tabloid staple Lindsay Lohan will be appearing in an upcoming issue of Playboy. But like too many freckled, foxy, fantastically stacked things, (t)it may be too good to be true. Details on Lindsay’s Playboy appearance are being kept strictly under wraps. Her reps won’t confirm ( or deny) rumors that she’ll appear nude, and the only thing we know for sure is that she was spotted heading into a Beverly Hills mansion this morning for a photo shoot. TMZ reports that LiLo is banking nearly $1,000,000 for the deal -that’s cover girl prices- but E! News says an insider on the set told them that it was for a non-nude spread in the January issue. We’ll just have to wait and see, but in the meantime we’ll be clutching our tissue boxes in breathless skinticipation. C’mon, Lindsay, make it a slappy nude year! Get a sneak peek of those Irish shirt potatoes with Lindsay Lohan nude right here at MrSkin.com!

VIDEO: Roger Corman Watches Bikini-Clad Beauty Get Eaten in Sharktopus Cameo

There was a time when it was thought that Roger Corman would actually direct Sharktopus , the SyFy channel shlocktastic midnight movie about a government engineered shark/octopus hybrid that debuted last fall. He didn’t, of course — but that doesn’t mean the indie pioneer wasn’t allowed to join in the fun. Corman appeared in the film as a “beach bum” who witnesses the terrifying(ly poor special effects of) sharktopus, and ahead you can watch him discuss how the amusing cameo came into being.

NBCU, Bring Back Promos Like This One From 1993

Now that Comcast (or Kabletown) has officially taken over NBC from General Electric, they have a big problem on their hands in the form of returning NBC to its past glory. The Movieline solution: Fun NBC -themed promos! Seriously, where have these been? Specifically, just recreate this “The Stars are Back on NBC ” promo featuring Michael Richards sliding down an animated staircase into the waiting arms of a signing Crystal Bernard from Wings . Also, Joey Lawrence says, “Whoa,” Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric make out, and John Larroquette picks a star out of his eyeball. Problem solved! And if it doesn’t work, just bring back Seinfeld .

Roger Corman at Sundance: ‘The State of Indie Filmmaking is Better Than Its Ever Been’

Considering he’s been making movies for almost sixty years, you might find it a bit surprising that director/producer Roger Corman thinks this is the best time for indie filmmakers to express themselves creatively. Getting those expressions distributed, though, is another matter entirely. Ahead, watch Movieline’s Alonso Duralde chat with Corman and director Alex Stapleton about her documentary Corman’s World , independent films, and which Sundance entry the legendary director loves on the title alone. (Hints: Hobo. Shotgun.)

Turn to Stone: DVD Roundup 1-18-11

This week on DVD, Milla Jovovich goes back to her naked, naked ways in Stone , we get some virgin tit in The Virginity Hit , and a B-movie babe bares her B’s in the Roger Corman Cult Classic Demon of Paradise . Stone Nude on DVD and Blu-ray, Milla Jovovich gives us our first confirmed sighting of her bare boobs since her skinterracial lesbian scene in the 2006 thriller .45 when she doffs her top in the Robert De Niro flick Stone . It all starts half an hour in, when we see Milla’s cones as she talks on the phone and gives us a bone. Then at the 53-minute mark, Ms. Jovovich bares her niptastic knockerage in bed with De Niro. You’ll turn to stone. In your pants. The Virginity Hit Also nude on DVD, The Virginity Hit is a new kind of teen sex comedy that looks at boob in the age of Youtube. Most of the skin in this movie is seen on a computer screen, like when Savannah Welch appears fully frontal on a screen 33 minutes in and then topless on a cell phone one minute later. Adult actress Sunny Leone even makes a strangely non-nude mameo appearance topless on as the favorite porn star of a teenager who’s desperate to get laid. With Sunny? Aren’t we all? Up from the Depths/ Demon of Paradise Also nude on DVD, Roger Corman ‘s terror-at-the-beach cult classics Up from the Depths and Demon of Paradise are packaged together in one double feature. But the real double feature comes in Demon of Paradise when B-movie babe Leslie Huntly gets nude as some sexy fish food. Demon of Paradise will have you dreamin’ a pair-a-boobs!

‘Get It Up or I’ll Cut It Off’: A Meditation on the Cinematic Brilliance of Machete Maidens Unleashed!

A few days back, after a festival day that began with two-hours-plus of French people talking incessantly while hiding their secrets from one another (Guillaume Canet’s snoozy Little White Lies ), progressed to a moody meditation on the agonies of preteen vampirism (Matt Reeves’ bracing Let Me In ), and was rounded off, just before dinner time, with a trapped James Franco sawing his arm off with a teensy knife (thank you, Danny Boyle), I wandered listlessly around the excessively dazzling and noisy Scotiabank screening complex. I wanted one more movie to finish the day, but what? A nice little Macedonian film, perhaps? Maybe I could find some three-hour Japanese thing with nice scenery.
