"Oscar winners such as Bill Condon ('Gods and Monsters'), Julian Fellowes ('Gosford Park') and John Irving ('The Cider House Rules') were first brought to the attention of Academy voters via just these means," Riskin said Monday The Writers Guild of America also has added its voice to the argument The MPAA reiterated Monday that it welcomed debate on the policy, but that the ban would remain The actors, writers and directors contend that asking Oscar voters to see films only in theaters will put smaller, independent features at a disadvantage, and will do nothing to stop piracy "It creates a hugely inequitable and hugely unleveled playing field," she said " Last week, directors including Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Robert Redford sent a protest letter to Valenti, which was published in Variety The IFP is helping organize opposition to the ban An actors' protest, to be published in the coming days, will include the names of Hilary Swank, Don Cheadle, Sissy Spacek, Ellen Burstyn, Nick Nolte, and Steve Buscemi, among others Screen Actors Guild president Melissa Gilbert also disagrees with the ban on screeners "To place a gag order on 'screeners' is to tilt the playing field from small films to large "This is an acknowledgment that actors are often the triggers for financing and distribution decisions on independent movies so it's really important their voices are heard," Michelle Byrd, executive director of the Independent Feature Project/New York, told the trade paper Variety for Tuesday's editions Actors Join Opposition to Screener Ban Oct 14, 9:52 AM EST Several prominent actors, including Sean Penn, Holly Hunter, Frances McDormand and Willem Dafoe, have joined the opposition to a recent ban on sending special DVDs and videos to Academy Award voters Their protest follows a letter sent last week from 142 directors to Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, urging the MPAA to immediately repeal its anti-piracy plan Victoria Riskin, president of the Writers Guild of America West, said screener DVDs and videos are crucial to helping small, well-written films find an audience At the Movies: 'Down With Love' May 15, 11:54 AM EST "Down With Love" is the most exhilarating piece of old-meets-new moviemaking since "Moulin Rouge," and it's no coincidence that Ewan McGregor is at the center of both In their effort to break the taboos of the movies they're emulating, Ahlert and Drake lose some of their predecessors' verbal elegance Director Peyton Reed ("Bring It On") and his team have drawn their inspiration from the Rock Hudson-Doris Day vehicles of the late 1950s and early '60s, and they replicate the look, feel and sound of those sugary, wholesome sex comedies with joyous accuracy But "Down With Love" is enlightened enough to know that deception is a game women can play just as skillfully At first Catcher blows her off, but when the book becomes popular â€â€? and he sees how attractive Barbara is â€â€? he vows to romance Barbara and write an expose pegging her just another lovesick girl The costume design, the art direction â€â€? everything is fabulous, and it's all of a piece The final half-hour in particular pushes what should be juicy material through a whirlwind that dries it out ) The weak link in the cast is Paulson, who starts out charming but becomes more shrill and hissy as the movie goes along Running time: 96 minutes Zellweger gets top billing over McGregor, but unlike Nicole Kidman she's not quite the match for him (Randall himself makes a rather flat cameo as Barbara's publisher Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian When you've heard the words "have sex with" a dozen times, the movie's spell over you is in danger of breaking This is a movie that intercuts Frank Sinatra and Astrud Gilberto's versions of "Fly Me to the Moon," and when it's over you'll feel as if you've been flown there too He throws himself into the role of a suave ladies' man with a fearless abandon that Hudson never had "Down With Love," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 for sexual humor and dialogue McGregor is Catcher Block, and the object of his increasing ardor is Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger), who arrives in 1962 Manhattan from a small town in Maine with a manuscript that shares the movie's title He's both sly and exuberant, calculating and uninhibited Except this being 2003, they're free to shed the wholesomeness when they choose Some material may be inappropriate for young children Her book urges women to empower themselves in the workplace and in the bedroom, treating sex the way men do â€â€? as disposable fun NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 Catcher is enlisted to write a story about Barbara by Peter MacMannus (David Hyde Pierce), his editor at Know magazine, who in turn is smitten by Barbara's editor, Vikki Hiller (Sarah Paulson) Only the script, by Eve Ahlert and Dennis Drake, shows hints of strain He has no poses, no defenses, no worries that he'll look silly or full of himself Like Hudson's character in "Pillow Talk," Catcher creates a nerdy hick persona to woo a woman who despises him but has never seen his face Reed's direction crackles with verbal and visual wit; Jeff Cronenweth's cinematography effortlessly recreates the old '60s Technicolor look and the optical effects in vogue at the time; Larry Bock's editing brilliantly allows jokes and compositions to spill over from one scene to the next; and Marc Shaiman's score underlines the action down to the second, with a musical cue for every crooked smile or batting of the eyebrows All ages admitted Quibbles aside, "Down With Love" is funny, sexy and disarmingly accessible; it builds up such enormous waves of good will that its achievement cannot be understated In the Tony Randall role, Pierce is hilarious and stunningly precise, his every over-the-top reaction pitch-perfect â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences But the whole thing would be an empty, transparent exercise in style without an actor of McGregor's total commitment Physically, her performance is clunky and awkward Place McGregor's blithe, womanizing journalist of "Down With Love" alongside his love-addled poet of "Moulin Rouge," and it's clear he's a rare and extraordinary performer, one who combines the old-school showmanship of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly with the emotional nakedness of contemporary Method actors While she's a forceful and sexy self-made woman â€â€? far more desirable than Doris Day could ever be â€â€? she doesn't share McGregor's ease with the movie's stylizations Three and a half stars out of four R â€â€? Restricted "Down With Love" astonishes as it celebrates the artistry that once went into popular moviemaking PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested And the writers haven't captured the languid pacing of the previous generation's movies; though many scenes run longer than is now fashionable, "Down With Love" still feels rushed Some material may not be suitable for children |
