The Bearded Trio

Executive Director Stephen Smith with survivor Edward Mosberg and Institute founder Steven Spielberg Holocaust survivor Edward Mosberg believes it is his duty to share what happened to him, his family, and millions of other Jews during World War II. He regularly shares his story with students all over the world. Mosberg visited the office of USC Shoah Foundation this week not only to learn about the Institute’s work, but also to share his story. Wearing the blue-striped concentration camp uniform of his youth, Mosberg spoke to a group of history students and attended a private screening of the film DESTINATION UNKNOWN   produced in association with the Institute. The documentary tells his and the stories of other Holocaust survivors and how each one found different ways to overcome the deep scars that they carry. An avid philanthropist, the 92-year-old Mosberg was joined by Stephen Smith as he stopped by the office of USC Shoah Foundation founder Steven ...

Sad news as we learn that legendary costume designer, John Mollo has died at the age of 86. Mollo was best known for designing the costumes for Star Wars and in particular Darth Vader. Stormtroopers and Han Solo.  His work brought him an Oscar and went on to work with Ridley Scott on Alien.  He won a second Oscar after working on Sir Richard Attenborough's Ghandi. During his work on Star Wars, Mollo used the artwork of Ralph McQuarrie for reference and had this to say about his encounter with George Lucas: 'Since I had just finished the work for Kubrick I thought I’d investigate and met George Lucas at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.  George left me in no doubt. Audience mustn't consciously notice the costumes, he insisted. If they do, you have gone wrong.' Mollo was a military expert and used his knowledge of trench armour from World War I and Nazi helmets to create the look of Darth Vader we've come to know today.  He also designed the costumes for one ...

GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN Starring Domnhall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly Macdonald, Will Tilston, and Alex Lawther Written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Simon Vaughn Directed by Simon Curtis Reviewed by Patrick & Paul Gibbs Out of Four "Poetry and hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." - Winnie-The-Pooh A.A. Milne's classic stories "got" a lot of people, and continue to do so. The feeling of childlike wonder and innocence combined with a profound sense of wisdom is truly timeless and has inspired many, both in life and art (would Forrest Gump  exist   without the influence of the silly old bear? We don't think so.).  They are very personal and special to us as a stage adaptation we created was a major step in our creative careers, and our love for the characters and for Milne's words is deeply ingrained in us. Goodbye Christopher Robin is b...

As "Stranger Things" fans get stoked to binge watch the show's second season on Netflix, Sony Pictures Consumer Products is teaming with Reebok and BAIT for a Limited Edition run of the Reebok Ex-O-Fit Hi Clean model, featuring exclusive designs inspired by the 1984 classic  Ghostbusters  film. For the upcoming season, the "Stranger Things" producers teamed with Ghost Corps on the show's Ghostbusters storyline, and Sony Pictures Consumer Products put the collaboration together. As a backstory, we find Ghostbusters superfan Dustin has modified his Ex-O-Fit Hi by drawing his own Ghostbusters designs onto the shoe.  The shoes with that design will now be available for die-hard sneakerheads and fans. "80s nostalgia is running at a fever pitch, and excitement and fondness for the classic Ghostbusters seems to grow every year.  It makes total sense that in the fall of 1984, Dustin and his friends would be nuts for Ghostbusters," said  I...
