Legendary Hollywood actress Kim Novak (Vertigo, Picnic, Bell, Book and Candle) will be awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival of La Biennale di Venezia (Aug. 27–Sept. 6).

Venice also unveiled that the documentary Kim Novak’s Vertigo by Alexandre Philippe, “made in exclusive collaboration with the actress,” will be presented in its world premiere during the festival.

“I am deeply, deeply touched to receive the prestigious Golden Lion Award from such an enormously respected film festival,” said Novak. “To be recognized for my body of work at this time in my life is a dream come true. I will treasure every moment I spend in Venice. It will fill my heart with joy.

Kim Novak is to receive the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.

The festival, which runs August 27-September 6, also will screen the world premiere of documentary Kim Novak’s Vertigo by Alexandre Philippe, made in collaboration with the legendary American actress.

Known for movies including Vertigo, Picnic, and Bell Book and Candle, Novak said today: “I am deeply, deeply touched to receive the prestigious Golden Lion Award from such an enormously respected film festival. To be recognized for my body of work at this time in my life is a dream come true. I will treasure every moment I spend in Venice. It will fill my heart with joy.”

Venice’s Artistic Director Alberto Barbera declared: “Inadvertently becoming a screen legend, Kim Novak was one of the most beloved icons of an entire era of Hollywood films, from her auspicious debut during the mid-1950s until her...

The Price is Right got its glam on during the Wednesday, February 19, episode. The show had a car-azy number of cars to give away, including a Porsche. Then a model went shirtless to show off a watercraft prize during a fun episode of the show. The first game of the day was Golden Road. Contestant Jennifer was given the price of Jalapeno poppers in cents, which was $0.92. She had to guess which digit in that price was the missing digit in the coffee-making package. She guessed that it was $263, but it was $963. Jennifer had the chance to win a home office and an $80,000 Porsche but lost in the first round, which caused host Drew Carey to chuckle and usher her off the stage. Luck turned around on the game show when Aidan played Pushover and correctly guessed the price of a trip to Sweden, resulting in him winning it. During the next game,...

The Price Is Right viewers were left stunned after Thursday’s (December 12) episode when multiple contestants made incredible errors that cost them big prizes. Despite long-time host Drew Carey explaining the rules throughout the episode, several contestants made mistakes that some fans couldn’t believe. This included two contestants on Bidder’s Row bidding the same amount and another contestant bidding “ten-hundred.” The contestants who made it up to the stage didn’t fare much better. One contestant took on Safe Crackers yet didn’t understand that the numbers could only be used once each. Even after he won a TV, the contestant seemed surprised, telling Carey, “Oh, I did? Where is it?” Another contestant played Push Over, where the player must push the blocks until the correct price is shown in the window. This contestant continued to push all the blocks to the end, ruining any chance of winning the game.

People all over the world have loved seeing Snoop Dogg at the Olympics. Memes and funny statuses have flooded the internet since he appeared in Paris. Did you know Snoop also appeared on The Price Is Right? His previous appearance on the game show has viewers wondering if the game is really rigged. Keep reading to see why.

Snoop Dogg Helped Everyone Win On The Price Is Right

Viewers don’t hesitate to make their opinions known when there is something fishy on The Price Is Right. They often call out contestants who are “doing too much” or accuse the producers of rigging the games somehow.

As fans are waiting for the return of the beloved game show following the summer break, The Price Is Right has shared clips from previous shows.

Recently, Snoop Dogg appeared in a montage of highlights from when he appeared on the game show. In the video,...

Fans of The Price Is Right never fail to call out the game show when they believe contestants are too much or the show might be “rigged.”

As the show awaits the premiere of its daytime season, fans continue to react to highlights from the game show.

That included fans blasting a former contestant due to her “disgusting” and “gross” behavior on another popular TV show.

More recently, fans mentioned that they thought an episode featuring Snoop Dogg might have been “rigged” or “staged” in his favor.

The rapper, who recently made headlines as an NBC correspondent at the Paris Olympics, appeared in a memorable montage of highlights as he helped contestants.

Those contestants all seemed to have great results with winning prizes, which caused some fans to question the episode.

The Price Is Right continues to share classic moments on its social media channels while viewers wait for the new season, and a video posted on Thursday (August 8) included Snoop Dogg proving to be the world’s best good luck charm. With the hip-hop icon gaining new fans at the Summer Olympics, Tpir bosses clearly thought it perfect timing to remember his appearance on the game show. The clip in question was posted on the official The Price is Right Instagram page and featured Snoop’s 2012 appearance on the game show’s Celebrity Week. Snoop is seen giving advice and moral support to contestants in games such as Plinko, Push Over, Range Game, and Check Out. It turns out that Snoop is a Price is Right wizard, as each contestant wins big due to his help. In Plinko, the Paris Olympics correspondent guides a woman to exactly where to drop...

Braguino (Clément Cogitore)

Le Cinéma Club excels in presentation—opening their clean website every Friday reveals a free, new, conveniently sized film playing alongside original written content—but more important is their reach: time and again they’re screening unavailable, underseen, sometimes thought-missing work by auteurs established and upcoming alike. Their current program concerns recent documentaries—starting today is French filmmaker Clément Cogitore’s Braguino, which surveys two rival families in images merging you-are-there immediacy with stunning high-definition clarity. At 49 minutes the experience is ideal for your dense quarantine lineup. – Nick N.

The Criterion Channel launches Monday, replacing that void left in cinephile hearts everywhere after the shuttering of FilmStruck just four months ago.

Subscribers can expect very little difference on the new service that wasn’t previously available on the Criterion Collection’s home at FilmStruck.

The service’s core, permanent library available on launch day is the over 1,000 movies, 350 shorts and 3500 supplemental materials that make up the Janus Film library. These are the classic arthouse films that for decades have been a mainstay in DVD restorations as part of the Criterion Collection.

Criterion President Peter Becker referred to The Criterion Channel as “an art house at your house,” adding that the library is made up of the “last name” filmmakers that any movie buff should know well: (Michelangelo) Antonioni, (Jean-Luc) Godard, (François) Truffaut, (Akira) Kurosawa,...

Out of the ashes of FilmStruck comes the Criterion Channel, which is launching April 8 and has announced an exciting first slate of new programming being added onto the streaming platform throughout its first month. When the service goes live next month it will be the exclusive streaming home for the Criterion Collection and Janus Films’ library of more than 1,000 classic and contemporary films. Original series that aired on FilmStruck will be back on the Criterion Channel, including “Adventures in Moviegoing,” “Meet the Filmmakers,” and “Observations on Film Art.”

In addition to its extensive library, Criterion Channel will be adding new films daily. The first new addition to the service on April 8 will be a spotlight on Columbia Pictures’ history of film noir through 11 movies: “My Name Is Julia Ross”; “So Dark the Night” (Joseph H. Lewis, 1946); “The Big Heat” (Fritz Lang, 1953); “Human Desire” (Fritz Lang, 1954); “Drive a Crooked Road” (Richard Quine,...

Fred MacMurray movies: ‘Double Indemnity,’ ‘There’s Always Tomorrow’ Fred MacMurray is Turner Classic Movies’ "Summer Under the Stars" today, Thursday, August 7, 2013. Although perhaps best remembered as the insufferable All-American Dad on the long-running TV show My Three Sons and in several highly popular Disney movies from 1959 to 1967, e.g., The Absent-Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, Boy Voyage!, MacMurray was immeasurably more interesting as the All-American Jerk. (Photo: Fred MacMurray ca. 1940.) Someone once wrote that Fred MacMurray would have been an ideal choice to star in a biopic of disgraced Republican president Richard Nixon. Who knows, the (coincidentally Republican) MacMurray might have given Anthony Hopkins a run for his Best Actor Academy Award nomination. After all, MacMurray’s most admired movie performances are those in which he plays a scheming, conniving asshole: Billy Wilder’s classic film noir Double Indemnity (1944), in which he’s seduced by Barbara Stanwyck, and Wilder...

Stop the presses and/or the tweets! Dorothy Malone is on tonight on Turner Classic Movies. TCM is showing six movies featuring Dorothy Malone, an actress who should have become a major movie star but inexplicably didn't. Malone had the right amount of talent, lips, ass, bosom, eyelashes, and Oscar (supporting, for Written on the Wind) — even so, she remained a (however popular) "leading lady." Check her out tonight. The TCM movies are former Hollywood Ten blacklistee-turned-informer Edward Dmytryk's Western Warlock (1959), Andrew L. Stone's disaster movie The Last Voyage (1960), actor-turned-director John Ireland's crime thriller The Fast and the Furious (1954), Henry Levin's crime drama Convicted (1950), Charles Marquis Warren's Western Tension at Table Rock (1956), and Richard Quine's crime drama Pushover (1954), which also features Kim Novak.

There seems to be no exhausting the raw eyeball pleasure to be had from old-fashioned handmade (or semi-handmade, or whatever) animation, and we may be well living through a pop renaissance of it.

The eruptions below the Pixar/Dreamworks budget tier have been spectacular and international, beginning perhaps with 2003's "The Triplets of Belleville," learning from Miyazaki, Oshii, Aardman and the Quays, moving on to Kim Moon-saeng's "Sky Blue," machinima, "The Corpse Bride," "A Scanner Darkly," "Persepolis," "Coraline," "Waltz with Bashir," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Mary & Max," "Sita Sings the Blues," "Fear(s) in the Dark," "The Secret of Kells," and now the Belgian nonpareil "A Town Called Panic."

The variety of toolboxes and styles at work seem limitless (the seductive but uniform look of pure 3D computer animation is getting tiresome just as other approaches proliferate), but it's the personal engagement that makes most of the films sing.

He is survived by his wife and their two children as well as another three children from a previous marriage.

Carey's One Life to Live co-star Clint Ritchie passed away on 31 January following a brief illness, aged 70.

Phil Carey, who played formidable business tycoon Asa Buchanan on ABC's soap opera "One Life to Live" for nearly three decades, died Feb. 6 at his home in New York following a battle with lung cancer. He was 83.

Carey originated the role of Asa in 1980. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006, he took medical leave from the show to undergo treatment then returned to the role later that year.

On "One Life to Live," Asa died in his sleep Aug. 16, 2007. The life of the Buchanan family patriarch was celebrated on the show's 10,000th episode the next day. Carey made three subsequent appearances on the show and was last seen when Asa read an addendum to his will Dec. 29.
