Jack Nicholson was born 70 years ago today! Here's hoping he has a super seventieth birthday! Jack has spent 50 of his 70 years in the movie industry make films that have entertained us all and so we want to clebrate his birthday and thank him for the joy his work has bought to so many! We look forward to another gem later this year when The Bucket List is released. We hope you will enjoy the seven clips from Jack's movies that we have posted on the site this week :) -- Sara and TomToday's clip is from one of Jack Nicholson's most famous movies The Shining. Although this week's clips have been part of a birthday tribute, I confess I have had an ulterior motive in slecting the clips I have and that was simply to remind all fans of Jack nicholson's incredible range. I know anyone who has taken the time to watch these clips will have seen Jack inhabit a range of very different roles. In all of these roles, Jack's portrayal is so realistic, yet effortless that it is easy to assume that he is "not acting" at all. I think that perhaps explains a common misconception amongst some people who are not familiar with his considerable body of work, that being the impression that Jack is just Jack. It is perhaps the ultimate compliment but it is also most decidedly untrue. Jack Nicholson is a true artist a dedicated craftsman who puts together a role so seamlessly that you do not see where it begins and he ends but as these clips illustrate their are distinctly different personalities being bought to life and the exceptional quality of the work should be acknowledged and respected. So this is my birthday tribute, a simple salute to the man's considerable range and talent. I'll be back tomorrow to post Jack Nicholson's Birthday update! -- Sara
Happy Friday! Today's clip is from the 1960 movie Little Shop of Horrors, a Roger Corman cheapie! The movie was shot in just three days and features a piece of comic genius from a young Jack Nicholson as Wilbur Force - masochist extraodinaire!
Today's clip is from the 1982 movie The Border which also co-starred Harvey Keitel and Valerie Perrine who are both seen in this excerpt.
A thousand apologies. I was unable to post yesterday as my ISP went down during the time I can be online! Shock Horror! The withdrawal was terrible.
Today,I have a clip from one of my all time favorite Jack Nicholson movies, The King of Marvin Gardens. This clip features the first six minutes from the 1972 movie. Jack plays the role of David Staebler a melancholy DJ.
Let the countdown begin as they say! In 7 days Jack Nicholson, movie star and hollywood legend will be 70. Over the next week we'll be posting various clips from some of his movies (including some of the less well known ones) and magazine features from his career. Let's start with two scenes from his 1976 movie, The Missouri Breaks, a quirky western which although not well-received in its day, features a fine performance from Jack Nicholson and some great comedic moments. In the first scene look out for Randy Quaid who also co-starred with Jack in The Last Detail.
Jack Nicholson's daughter Lorraine has a small voice part as Katie in the 3D animated movie, Fly me to the moon, due out later this year. The website for the film including the teaser are now online and the movie looks like it will be a lot of fun and a big hit with kids!
