"Opening today, Soul Men features the final performance from Bernie Mac, who died unexpectedly on August 9. The movie also includes a cameo from Isaac Hayes, who died one day later. Both men join a long list of people whose last films were released after their deaths, a list that includes Brad Renfro, whose final performance, in The Informers, can be seen in theaters come next May. Unlike some names on that list, Bernie Mac, whose voice can also be heard in the new animated sequel Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, isn’t likely to receive a posthumous Oscar nomination as a tribute to his final work. But as one of the most underrated comic actors of the past few years, Mac likely gives a great performance as soul singer “Floyd Henderson,” enough to fall in with the crop of posthumously released roles we’ve showcased below:

"The name says it all. What more can one write about this masterpiece expect praise it on all counts. The greatest casting, Best of acting, Brilliant adaptation of the novel, great scripting, wonderful photography, marvellous color for the period, legendary musical score and great direction. No movie has all these qualities combined. You have to search unsuccessfully for any flaw in this great movie. Need one have to say anything about Gables Rhett, Viviens Scarlett or Leslies Ashley and not to forget Olivia or Hattie McDaniel all of whom bring Margaret Mitchells characters to life. MAx Steiners score has set the trend for similar music for decades after GWTW. Keep watching this movie every time you feel that you have forgotten it as it grows on you.

"No. 14 - Gone With The Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939)Ranked #62'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn' - Rhett ButlerYears in the wilderness, endless casting auditions for the role of Scarlett, directors replaced, several sackings all over, the largest price paid for a debut novel, reluctant lead actor and one massive headache for everyone involved, Gone With The Wind had a lot to live up too and boy did it ever deliver. Since the day that producer David O. Selznick paid $50,000 for Margeret Mitchell's debut novel, '

"One of the many fads for cinephilic YouTubers, perhaps next in popularity after mashups and sweded remakes, is the condensed movie. Actually, thanks to a recent Empire contest, the art of sweding and the art of fitting features into a 60-second time frame is now also a mashed-up fad (though I guess sweding has always involved shortened versions). But while in this day and age any fanboy can do a shortened remake of his or her favorite movie or an abridged recut that breaks a film down to its bare essentials (i.e. its use of the f-word), condensing a film is not necessarily a low art. Just look at the 76-minute video Academy by R. Luke DuBois, a conceptual artist who works with both audio and visual mediums. A couple of years ago, using a time-lapse process, DuBois crafted this compilation of sped-up versions of Best Picture Oscar winners, which he says “allows us to explore the temporal, "

"Vivien Leigh: Scarlett & Beyond This is supposed to be a retrospective on the life of Vivien Leigh, but at times it felt more like Jessica Lange's audition tape. Her role as the host has her fawning over Vivien with over written dialogue that's also over acted while putting herself into strange tableaus. Anyways, I'm sure it would be a good documentary for anyone interested in Vivien Leigh. I'm really not. Her acting often bugs the hell out of me. But again I had to watch this because it was on the Gone with the Wind special features. There are three discs in that set. Sheesh! Rating: 6/10 "

"Gable: The King Remembered This seems to be made by the same team that put together James Dean Remembered. Again this documentary feels very dated. Very 70's. People have this creepy causal yet too hip and high minded kind of feel. It's so hard to describe. I guess the only exception would be Andy Devine. Again, it's probably interested if you are a huge Gable fan, but I'm usually not terribly interested in the lives of these absolute mega-stars. I just watched it because it was on the special features for Gone with the Wind and I'm anal about watching all of them when I rent a movie. Rating: 4/10 "

"The Making of a Legend: Gone with the WindI suppose since Gone with the Wind is such a long movie they figured the "making of" documentary should be longer than normal as well.If you love Gone with the Wind but don't already know all about the story behind the making of the movie, then you'd probably find this pretty enjoyable.I find the film to be rather humorless epic melodrama. Although done well, not my favorite kind of faire. So I enjoyed this documentary from a film history aspect, but there were a few times when it felt a bit tedious just like the movie it's about.Rating: 7/10 "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Gone with the Wind"The most talked about movie ever made""The most magnificent picture ever"and other hyperbolic taglines.I kind of expected this from the start, but this was a mediocre film experience for me. Whenever something is THIS big with so many people talking about, and when the production itself is so big and the story is so epic, I generally have a bias to not like it already. But maybe it's that when something has such a broad appeal that it probably lacks and individuality.Certainly there are movies that are almost universally loved by real film lovers. But you usually don't see Gone with the Wind high on the "greatest movies" lists made by any real film critics. The movie has broad blockbuster appear. It was a sensation and still feels like one. But I'm not interested in sensations like that. ... "

"I've been tagged by FilmSnob to participate in the Eight Things meme that's been going around. All the cool kids are doing it, and it's Friday, so why the hell not? But in the interest of keeping things around here *somewhat* on topic, I will try to keep this semi-film related. First, the rules: Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules. 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don?t forget to leave them a comment telling them they?re tagged and that they should read your blog. Now, the things: 1) I have never seen the following films: Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Goonies or Gremlins. 2)When I first moved to New York, I was broke, working full time and going to school at night.
