"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:

"Though I first buzzed about an Academy Award nomination for Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight more than a month before his death, I now want to take it all back. I feel all the talk of Ledger’s posthumous Oscar chances will cloud my mind when I finally do see it, and it will probably also cloud the Academy’s judgment, too. Six months from now, when the nominations are announced on January 22 (coincidentally the one-year anniversary of Ledger’s death), if Ledger is not recognized for his role as The Joker, there will surely be an uproar — actually, Hollywood might just up and self-implode. I’m not the only one annoyed by all the Oscar buzz. Terry Gilliam, who directed Ledger in The Brothers Grimm and the upcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is ca "

"There is so much going on these days in the marketing of The Dark Knight (see Chris Thilk’s most recent update/summary here), but Warner Bros. may be wasting a lot of time and money on its campaigns. If we’re to believe an AP story from yesterday, there’s already enough interest in the Batman Begins sequel coming from two separate directions: comic book fandom (”the magnitude of a comic-book franchise with an illustrious 70-year history”) and, of course, the cult of celebrity death (”arguably the biggest movie featuring a posthumous role in Hollywood history.”). The article highlights a number of posthumous film releases, including those of James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause and Giant), Spencer Tracy (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner), Will Rogers (Steamboat Round the B "

"Every once and a while, a movie comes around that defines a generation. Easy Rider, All the President’s Men and The Breakfast Club are all examples (Does anyone have a sense of a film that defines the 90’s? I think in its own derivative and anti-linear way, Pulp Fiction was that film. Maybe American Beauty. Any thoughts? Or is it still too soon to tell?). I would argue, however, that no film better defines the generation it came from than Rebel Without a Cause, which aired last night on Reel 13. As a matter of fact, the cultural impact of the film as well as the legend of its star, James Dean, almost seem to overshadow what I was reminded of last night – what an artfully and skillfully crafted film it is. The first thing that struck me about Rebel upon rewatching it was the extraordinary richness of the color. Director Nicholas Ray was shooting in “Warner Color” (at the time, each studio was working with various labs to patent their own color ... "

James Dean Remembered

"James Dean RememberedThere's no Spout link for this movie. It was a television documentary from 1974 that was included on the bonus features DVD of the movie Rebel Without a Cause. I've never felt a much of an affinity for the 70s. I was born in 1981 so I missed it, and I'm kind of glad. Seeing this documentary turns me off to that era even more. Here we see such freaks as Peter Lawford, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood and others recount James Dean. The James Dean obsession itself kind of makes me ill, but all of these personalities talking about him seem so flaky. I bet they all think they are so hip, and groovy, and real with it man. In the most sophisticated way of course. Yeesh.I didn't feel like I got too much information about Dean, nor did I care too much anyways. Watch it only for a strange time-warp experience if you aren't already watching lots of old videos from the 70s.Rating: 4/10 "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Rebel Without a CauseI wonder what kind of iconic performances James Dean might have created beyond this if he had survived. His style was very loose, engaging, real, emotional, but very individual. What could he have evolved into?There's no question this role and performance were one of the most iconic in screen history. I was infatuated by Dean at times, but I haven't been converted into joining his cult following. And I think the movie overall is well done for what it is, but to me it can be rather corny.Interesting to get a few peeks of an early Dennis Hopper though.Rating: 7/10 "

#59 On AFI's Best American Films

"I can't believe I've never seen a one of James Dean's film before tonight. AFI named this the 59th Best American Film and with good reason - Dean's face is expressive and malleable, and although some of the acting is overly melodramatic, the themes presented are universal and timeless. Jim Backus (best known as Thurston Howell III on TV's Gilligan's Island) is pathetically docile as Jim Stark's (Dean) father, and I love how disconsolate a picture is painted of 1960's nuclear family, particually in Natalie Wood's family's case. Great film - I'll have to own it one day... "

"Often there comes a time when a bad (or inept, or failed) movie will unwittingly tip its hand. It could be a piece of dialogue that encapsulates a central flaw, or it might be a device that functions as damage control. In Gypsy 83, it’s a chapter when Gypsy and Clive, en route to a singing competition in New York, spend an evening with a more or less retired singer, Bambi LeBleau (Karen Black). She is congenial, down-to-earth, unperturbed and dishonest only in the sense that she is trying to put a brave face on adversity. Black has been acting for at least thirty years now (Five Easy Pieces, Nashville, Easy Rider) and her screen presence and skill are so effortless that they too often go unnoticed. Her performance appears to infect Sara Rue (Gypsy) and Kett Turton (Clive) who seem completely different in this sequence, and outshines them in the rest of the film. She’s invested in the role, but experienced enough to trust her intuitions. When they decide to leave Bambi b ... "

"I really thought that the movie was kind of everywhere, it felt like it was just thrown together- but what I did like about the movie was the ending, where James Dean made the whole movie worth it by embracing his father and just weeping. His performance was phenomenal- and for that I respect the movie. "
