John Stephen Dwyer

The great auteur who gave us ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘Philadelphia’ died this morning in New York. He was 73. The Oscar-winning director died of cancer complications.

Demme rose to prominence with a wide range of genres such as the comedies Melvin and Howard (1980) and Married to the Mob (1988), the concert film featuring Talking Heads’ live performance Stop Making Sense (1984) which is hailed as one of the greatest rock movies ever, and the drama Philadelphia (1993) which won star Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar.

But Demme is probably best known for directing “Silence of the Lambs,” the 1991 horror-thriller which swept the Academy Awards, winning the 5 major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress for Jodie Foster and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ted Tally.

As such, this makes ‘Lambs’ only the third film in history to accomplish such a feat, and the first and only horror film to win Best Picture.

Scorsese, DiCaprio, De Niro May Team For ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times


Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have collaborated on many feature films since Gangs of New York, while De Niro have been starring in Scorsese’s films since 1970’s Mean Streets. Though De Niro and DiCaprio have previously worked together in 1996’s Marvin’s Room, it is surprising that the trio have not done a film together.

Well, it looks like this dream team might actually happen soon. Deadline reports that the trio are eyeing an adaptation of the book “Killers Of The Flower Moon: The Osage Murders And The Birth Of The FBI” by David Grann. Though it seems none of them are currently officially attached, according to the article, all three are “seriously considering” joining the project.

For those who might not be aware, Grann is also the author of The Lost City of Z, which was adapted into a feature film by director James Gray, starring Charlie Hunnam. That movie recently came out to critical acclaim. ‘Flower Moon’ itself has been receiving excellent reviews: Entertainment Weekly recently called it” The Best Book Of The Year So Far”. So its understandable that Grann’s latest work is a magnet for a high profile Hollywood adaptation.

Though very early into negotiations, at least we are assured of De Niro’s devotion into making this happen. In an interview with Hollywood Reporter a few month ago, De Niro said that he’d love to reunite with Scorsese and make a movie with DiCaprio: “Leo loves Marty the way I do, so it’s great. I’d love for the three of us to do something.”

Nelly Furtado – The_Ride

With 2006’s gleaming, Timbaland-created Loose, Nelly Furtado went from hippie-ish vocalist of “I’m Like a Bird” to a startling pop star with numerous Main 10 hits. The vocalist, in any case, has been experiencing a melodic identity crisis from that point onward, she overlooked subsequent meet-ups wavering between her people history and her pop achievement. The sixth album, “The Ride”, accomplishes balance.

Taking signals from recent partner Dev Hynes, an artist who makes enthusiastic synth-pop, Furtado’s first album on her label finds a home in crunchy outside the box driven tunes that superbly fit her innovative verses. Opening track “Cold Hard Truth” is one of her finest in years, an infectious single with one of the collection’s heaviest beats. The appealing “Paris Sun” conveys a menacingly sexy synth reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” however with a milder touch.

The Ride’s essential blemish is obvious in its insignificant titles. A lot of the record, especially the ballads, falls into the lyricist’s trap of taking an arrogance and composing each and every piece of subtext out of it.
