Here comes a great blast from the past that deserves a special mention – basically because I’ve been looking for it for so long 🙂 In December 1983, Mel Brooks was featured in a television special called “An Audience with Mel Brooks”, featuring skits and stand-up – and some unintentionally cringe-worthy audience questions, by the likes of Julie Walters and Helen Mirren. The latter segment, in which Mirren and Jonathan Pryce challenge Brooks for a Hamlet competition, has been added to the archive. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery as well.

Helen Mirren’s latest film, the wardrone thriller “Eye in the Sky” has been released in select theaters in the United States, so if you get a chance to watch it, be sure to grab your ticket. “Eye in the Sky” stars Helen Mirren as a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, she discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from “capture” to “kill.” The thriller co-stars Aaron Paul and features the last screen role of the late Alan Rickman. Four new clips have been added as well, including two new scenes from the film, a compilation of television spots and an interview with Helen and director Gavin Hood.
