Zoom-in Online

While you were busy milking Zoom In Online for all it's worth (scientific studies say it's a lot, by the way), you may have missed some other great film related content available on the web. Here's a roundup of just some of it:

Larry Gordon, the producer behind the production of Watchmen and subject of public scorn, is tired of being treated like the anti-heroes from Alan Moore's graphic novel.  Gordon has faced most, if not all, of the blame for the legal dispute threatening the release of Zack Snyder's Watchmen film, as it has been claimed he failed to secure the rights for the film from Fox when the studio put it in turnaround.  On Wednesday, Gordon filed a lengthy letter to U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess "blaming Fox and his then-lawyers for the debacle and offering his version of events that led to the court's ruling that Fox owns distribution rights to the Zack Snyder-helmed comic-book adaptation."

Come join us on a DETOUR into the underbelly of a once old New York. You, the unsuspecting spectator, will rendezvous with the unexpected. You will bare witness to crimes of passion or perhaps someone's passion for crime. And most importantly, you will realize the need to get the girl -- before she gets you. BAP! BAP!
The air of mystery will tempt you with the sounds and images of live jazz, edgy filmmaking, and the seduction of steamy burlesque all for your visceral pleasure.

If rock and roll had a brother, it would be Eddie Adams.

Narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, An Unlikely Weapon is the chilling story behind a photograph that some say ended the Vietnam War. In 1968, while covering the war for the Associated Press, Eddie Adams photographed a Saigon police chief, General Nguyen Nygoc Loan, shooting a Vietcong guerilla point blank. Ironically, it was Adams’ shot that was heard around the world, taken at 1/500th of a second! The photo brought Adams’ fame and a Pulitzer, but the man he had vilified haunted him. Adams would later say, “Two lives were destroyed that day – the victim’s and the general.” Yet others would say, three lives were destroyed. The film will be premiering at the Palm Springs Film Festival on January 14th, 2009 at 4:00 PM.
