Shelley Duvall's career began by chance when she met Robert Altman and went on to appear in his films, including the critically acclaimed Nashville. Despite her other notable roles, Duvall's performance as Wendy Torrance in The Shining is considered one of her most memorable, although her experience with director Stanley Kubrick was difficult. Duvall left Hollywood due to a combination of dwindling film roles, her brother's illness, and the aftermath of an earthquake near her home in LA. After a 20-year hiatus, she returned to acting in the independent horror film The Forest Hills.

Shelley Duvall left Hollywood on a two-decade-long hiatus, but as some might assume, it wasn't because of her experience on The Shining. Never an actor by training, Shelley Duvall's career began almost by accident when she met Robert Altman at a party while he was filming Brewster McCloud (via Texas Monthly). This led to more castings in Altman films,...

Though major studios used to crank them out by the truckload, today the movie musical is a fairly infrequent occurrence — not just because they’re commercially risky but because the genre itself is an inherently ambitious undertaking. Ranging from “Once” to Damien Chazelle’s pre-“La La Land” romance “Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench,” there have been some moderately successful attempts at making indie musicals on a micro-budget, but the question still lingers of whether audiences are willing to accept a modern movie in which people sing out their emotions.

In a risky departure from a résumé otherwise dominated by broad comedy, Josh Klausner gives it a stab with “Wanderland.” Different though it may be from his 1999 debut “The 4th Floor” — a quasi-horror thriller with surreal touches — this oddball effort is more an exercise in low-key quirkiness set in a slightly alternative universe where everything but our protagonist is a little “off.

Subject: Juliette Lewis, 37-year old American actress & singer

Date of Assessment: August 20, 2010

Positive Buzzwords: Ferocity, work ethic, unyielding

Negative Buzzwords: Batshit crazy, nontraditional, weirdo

The Case: The always eccentric Juliette Lewis is a very strange specimen and, in a certain light, quite comparable to actor Danny Trejo in that, with just one glance at their respective resumés, one gets an instant recognition of just how many familiar movies within which they've appeared. In fact, I'll bet that you've completely forgotten that, with Christmas Vacation, Lewis became one of the many actresses to portray Audrey Griswold. On second thought, let's forget about that one, shall we?

Of course, with as much film and television as Lewis has done, a lot of it has fallen into the proverbial ether. She's never been a leading lady in the traditional sense and, even with her bigger roles, Lewis hasn't ever received top billing, her name in lights,...

MADRID -- Take My Eyes, Iciar Bollain's dramatic look at domestic violence, led the pack Wednesday as Spain's Film Academy announced nominations for the XVIII Goya Awards, snatching noms in nine of the 28 categories. Eyes will compete for best film against Isabel Coixet's My Life Without Me, Antonio Mercero's The 4th Floor and David Trueba's Soldiers of Salamina, Spain's candidate for the foreign-language Oscar.
