While "Far From The Madding Crowd" didn't reinvent the period movie, they rarely come as lovingly shot and acted as Thomas Vinterberg's picture. In Matthias Schoenaerts, the director got a Gabriel Oak that everyone (who saw the movie, at least) wanted to boyfriend to the hell out of. And the good news is, the duo are going to work together again. Read More: Mattias Schoenaerts And Dakota Johnson To Make Music Together In 'The Sound Of Metal' Deadline reports that the director and actor are reteaming for the submarine survival tale "Kursk."

Ann-Margret movies: From sex kitten to two-time Oscar nominee. Ann-Margret: 'Carnal Knowledge' and 'Tommy' proved that 'sex symbol' was a remarkable actress Ann-Margret, the '60s star who went from sex kitten to respected actress and two-time Oscar nominee, is Turner Classic Movies' star today, Aug. 13, '15. As part of its “Summer Under the Stars” series, TCM is showing this evening the movies that earned Ann-Margret her Academy Award nods: Mike Nichols' Carnal Knowledge (1971) and Ken Russell's Tommy (1975). Written by Jules Feiffer, and starring Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel, the downbeat – some have found it misogynistic; others have praised it for presenting American men as chauvinistic pigs – Carnal Knowledge is one of the precursors of “adult Hollywood moviemaking,” a rare species that, propelled by the success of disparate arthouse fare such as Vilgot Sjöman's I Am Curious (Yellow) and Costa-Gavras' Z, briefly flourished from...

Chicago – Yes, this critic adores Joss Whedon. What a surprise, right? With the upcoming release of his highly-anticipated take on “The Avengers” and the recent critical love for “The Cabin in the Woods” (which he co-wrote with Drew Goddard), there seems to be a recent reappreciation of the man who gave the world “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Firefly,” “Dollhouse,” and much more. I realize that I may be the fish in the barrel, but if you swim in similar waters I can’t imagine you being disappointed in the recently-released “Joss Whedon: The Complete Companion” and “Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion.” These are two of the most thoroughly entertaining, informative, and intellectually engaging film/TV books that will be released all year.
