Critic Max Weinstein attacks Takashi Miike’s latest brain-melter Yakuza Apocalypse. “There was a time when being a man meant being a Yakuza,” says Kageyama (Hayato Ichihara) in the opening moments of Yakuza Apocalypse. Is this statement an indictment of that time? Or nostalgic for it? DirectorTakashi Miike, one of the most prolific filmmakers in the world…

Family Guy’s Peter Griffin is an absolute idiot – of that there is no doubt.
It’s almost impossible to know where to begin with this article because the man has done so many utterly stupid things.
Indeed, in the episode “Petarded”, Peter participates in the MacArthur Fellows Program to see if he is a genius (ha!) and ends up performing so badly that he is officially declared mentally retarded (the show’s words, not mine!).
But I’ve given it a go anyway!
I’ve looked at countless examples of Peter’s stupidity and whittled it down to ten.
Here are Peter Griffin’s ten stupidest moments…
10. Thinking The Salesman Is An Answering Machine
In the episode ”When You Wish Upon a Weinstein”, a salesman knocks on the Griffins door and, unfortunately for Lois, Peter answers.
The salesman manages to con Peter, which isn’t remotely difficult, in to...

Industry eyes are focused on brothers Harvey & Bob Weinstein, The Walt Disney Company and Miramax Films in the wake of reports that Disney is close to finalizing a sale of its effectively dormant specialty brand. The Weinsteins have emerged as a lead contender for the company they founded more than thirty years ago and named after their parents, Miriam and Max Weinstein. Conflicting media reports emerged late Thursday, however, about ...

More than a dozen nonbinding offers are expected Friday in an informal auction Disney is conducting for its recently shuttered Miramax.
Contrary to some reports, Disney's $700 million price tag on Miramax, which comes with a 700-film library, might not prove a problem. But that will take a while to sort out, as first-round bidding is nonbinding and Disney has facilitated almost no due diligence by Miramax suitors.
One estimate put annual cash flow from the Miramax library at $150 million, meaning Disney would need to find a buyer willing to pay a multiple of four to five times cash flow. That's considered doable, though everything depends on bidders confirming the studio's cash flow claims when due diligence finally is allowed.
Disney is running the Miramax auction internally, with its finance execs fielding phone calls and holding occasional meetings with prospective suitors.
Minimajor Lionsgate is among those kicking tires on Miramax, and...
