Best Dressed Movie Gangsters

October 27th 2010 02:48

The Smoking Jacket asks, Who are The 10 most stylish fictional gangsters of all time??
The winners come from TV shows and movies of all genres and time periods.
Here we count down the top 5!

Ajax (The Warriors)

Ajax is some sort of cross between a Wild West gunslinger and a modern-day WWE heel. Like the other Warriors, he wears a brown leather vest and keeps the shrunken, defeated testicles of the Baseball Furies in his pants pockets. Ajax hearkens back to a magical time—the late ’70s, to be exact—when gangs preferred rumbling in matching outfits to pussy-ass drive-bys.

Alex Delarge (A Clockwork Orange)

Although it’s been almost 40 years since A Clockwork Orange forever sullied “Singing in the Rain” and scared the crumpets out of Great Britain, Delarge’s droog uniform—white long-sleeve shirt, white pants, black combat boots, black Belfry top hat, some kind of molded nut-protector— can still be seen come Halloween time, usually by the guy looking to beat the shit out of you before he takes your girlfriend.

Jules Winnfield (Pulp Fiction)

In the case of Jules Winfield, the whole package must be appreciated as a part of his style, which includes the jheri curled afro—the only time in the history of ever that a jheri curl has managed to look cool—and the combination mutton-chopped, fu Manchu facial hair. Like Mr. Blonde, Jules is suave enough in his black suit to be mistaken for an insurance before he lays his vengeance upon thee.

The Joker (The Dark Knight)

Heath Ledger’s Joker incarnation was both the worst and best thing ever to happen to clowns—Patrick Bateman meets Bozo, if Bozo had spent time in Chino instead of clown college.

Michael Corleone (The Godfather)

Vito Corleone may be the original gangster, but nobody made fratricide more stylish than prodigal son Michael. He did business at all times impeccably tailored form head to toe. His three-piece gangster suits are every bit a part of his lore as a tunic would be to a Roman emperor.

The Incredible Success of Steven Spielberg

October 22nd 2010 05:31

In a career spanning over forty years, Steven Spielberg's films have covered many themes and genres. Spielberg's early science-fiction and adventure films were seen as an archetype of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. In later years, his films began addressing such issues as the Holocaust, slavery, war and terrorism. He is considered one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He is also one of the founders and owner of DreamWorks.

Spielberg won the Academy Award for Best Director for Schindler's List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Three of Spielberg's films; Jaws (1975), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and Jurassic Park (1993), achieved box office records, each becoming the highest-grossing film made at the time. To date, the unadjusted gross of all Spielberg-directed films exceeds $8.5 billion worldwide. Forbes puts Spielberg's wealth at $3.0 billion.

The info-graphic below sourced from PersonalLoans.org lists Steven Spielberg's films in order of total box office gross, and details his awards and other accolades.

Biggest Box Office Bombs

September 29th 2010 06:15

What defines a box office bomb? It's not a movie's disappointment to fans after much hype, but rather total amount of money lost on the film.

Indexed to inflation, there have been some massive losses (more than $100 million!) inflicted on various disastrous movies over the years.

CNBC.com takes a look at the biggest money loosing films of all time. View the full list here.

Cutthroat Island (1995)

Net losses, inflation adjusted: $146,947,958
Total cost: $115,000,000
Worldwide theater gross: $10,017,322
Net losses (actual): $104,982,678

1995’s Cutthroat Island is the biggest financial disaster in all of movie history, a fact confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records. That its star and its director still have careers is nothing short of remarkable.

Starring Geena Davis and directed by her husband, Renny Harlin, the feminist pirate movie was poorly reviewed, with multiple critics suggesting that those involved in making it should walk the plank. When all was said and done, the movie lost over $100 million, an unprecedented amount that bankrupted the studio that made it, Carolco Pictures.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)

Net losses, inflation adjusted: $134,396,524
Total cost: $120,000,000
Worldwide theater gross: $7,103,973
Net losses (actual): $112,896,027

The Adventures of Pluto Nash was a 2002 science fiction comedy starring Eddie Murphy that’s become legendary in the annals of box office bombs. The movie’s first script was written in the 1980s and was rewritten multiple times before it was finally turned into a movie.

The finished product was so badly made that it was shelved for two years before the studio released it, to almost universal critical disgust. When all the wailing and gnashing of teeth was over, it had earned $7.1 million against its $120 million cost, more than earning its reputation as one of the worst box office bombs in all filmdom.

The 13th Warrior (1999)

Net losses, inflation adjusted: $125,887,312
Total cost: $160,000,000
Worldwide theater gross: $61,698,899
Net losses (actual): $98,301,101

The 13th Warrior was a movie about Vikings, Arabs and the pre-human bear people who eat them. Originally based on a Michael Crichton novel with the sure-to-please title Eaters of the Dead, the movie did badly with test audiences, prompting Crichton to take over for original director John McTiernan and re-shoot several scenes.

The entire enterprise delayed the movie for a year and exploded the budget to $160 million, almost twice its original size. The movie performed modestly at the box office, but nowhere near what it needed in order to make its money back.

Legendary actor Omar Sharif, who appeared in the film in a small role, was so enraged by the experience that he didn’t act again until 2003.

Heaven’s Gate (1980)

Net losses, inflation adjusted: $104,542,449
Total cost: $44,000,000
Worldwide theater gross: $3,484,331
Net losses (actual): $40,515,669

Michael Cimino, the Oscar-winning director of The Deer Hunter, followed up his highly regarded movie with an epic western called Heaven’s Gate. To achieve cinematic perfection, Cimino demanded up to fifty takes of individual scenes and would delay filming until a cloud that he liked rolled into the frame. Production fell behind schedule immediately, and the movie exceeded its budget by 400%.

The movie was mercilessly thrashed by critics such as the New York Times’ Vincent Canby, who compared it to "a forced four-hour walking tour of one's own living room." It earned less than $3 million of its $44 million budget, and the studio, United Artists, folded soon after. Cimino, once a promising director with a great career ahead of him, has barely worked since 1980.

The Postman (1997)

Net losses, inflation adjusted: $83,346,947
Total cost: $80,000,000
Worldwide theater gross: $17,626,234
Net losses (actual): $62,373,766

In the early 1990s, Kevin Costner was as A-list an entertainer as it gets. After winning Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director with Dances With Wolves, he went on to star in such hits as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, JFK and The Bodyguard. Then came 1995’s Waterworld, a commercial and critical disaster that almost destroyed his career.

To get back on track, he decided to repeat the Dances With Wolves formula and directed The Postman, another three-hour epic starring himself as the titular letter carrier. The post-apocalyptic movie (which inexplicably had a cameo by Tom Petty as himself) was eaten alive by critics and took in less than $18 million, barely even a quarter of its $80 million budget.
