A look at the list of my favorite movies from 2014 reveals the presence of six extraordinary nonfiction films, and that’s just a taste of the seeming hundreds of docs released last year-- not all of them extraordinary, of course, but all of them indicative of a trend toward the making of the availability of more nonfiction filmmaking than it seems we’ve likely ever seen in this country. And speaking of availability, the six I listed—Ron Mann’s Altman, Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson’s Milius, Orlando von Einsidel’s Virunga, Chaplain and Maclain Way’s The Battered Bastards of Baseball, Stephanie Spray and Pancho Velez’s Manakamana and Errol Morris’s The Unknown Known— were all pictures I caught courtesy of Netflix Streaming. (Virunga was actually produced under the company’s auspices.)

I have a special place in my cinematic heart for nonfiction, both bound between covers and on the screen,...

Clint Eastwood is behind the lens of another Oscar contender: American Sniper. Led by Bradley Cooper, the film adapts the biography of Chris Kyle, a celebrated Navy Seal Sniper who struggles to reconcile his family life with his four tours in Iraq. Already a critical hit, the film, which is in limited release now and out everywhere Jan. 16, is a shining trophy on Eastwood’s stacked career mantle. Suffice it to say, that mantle is worth perusing.

Not only is the 84-year-old living legend still acting and directing, he also manages to find time to lend a voice to projects by his peers. For a quick refresher on all-things Eastwood, check out his movies streaming on Netflix.

The title subject of Milius, the latest documentary about an under-appreciated artist, sums up the film's shortcomings when he grouses, "Like they say, 'Time will dignify anything.'"

While co-directors Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson have roped together an impressive cavalcade of talking heads, they don't spur on their interview subjects beyond stock anecdotes and superficial impressions. So John Milius, the screenwriter of Apocalypse Now and script doctor of Dirty Harry, is presented as a mysterious, volatile genius.

At first, testimonials suggest that Milius's grandiose eccentricities — his Hemingway-esque love of guns, cigars, and burly philosopher-warriors — made him unique. But eventually, everyone from George Lucas to Paul Schrader ...

Premium channel Epix acquired the rights to "Milius," Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson's film about screenwriter, director and controversial Hollywood personality John Milius, ahead of its screening at the 2013 Telluride Film Festival. Today, Epix announced that it will be premiering the film on Saturday, January 11 at 8pm, alongside a day's worth of films written or directed by Milius, including "Apocalypse Now," "Dillinger" and "Red Dawn." The schedule, all times eastern: 9am - Apocalypse Now 11:30am - Red Dawn (1984) 1:30pm - Flight of the Intruder 3:30pm - Dillinger 5:25pm - Apocalypse Now 8pm - Milius 9:45pm - Red Dawn (1984) 11:45pm - Farewell to the King 1:45am - Milius 3:35am - Flight of the Intruder 5:35am - Dillinger "Milius" follows the title filmmaker from his childhood aspirations to join the military to his formative years at the USC Film School and on...

★★★★☆ The outrageous exploits and antics of Hollywood filmmaker John Milius has been the stuff of Hollywood legend for years now, creating an almost mythical-like impression of the Apocalypse Now scribe and Big Wednesday director (The Big Lebowski's mentally-unstable Vietnam vet Walter Sobchak was said to be loosely based on him.) An in-depth portrait of the self-proclaimed "Zen anarchist" now arrives in the form of Milius (2013), Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson's hugely entertaining and fittingly reverential documentary of this larger-than-life, somewhat contradictory figure - "a teddy bear with an AK47".

To mark the release of Milius on 18th November, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on DVD.

This is the life story of filmmaker John Milius, one of the most influential and controversial film directors of his generation. Made by debut directors Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson, the documentary follows Milius’ childhood aspirations to join the military, his formative years at the University of Southern California Film School, his legendary work on films such as Apocalypse Now, Jaws, Conan The Barbarian, Dirty Harry and Red Dawn, to his ultimate dismissal from Hollywood due to his radical beliefs and controversial behaviour.

Millius turned his hand to writing after he was refused entry to the USmarine-corps because of his chronic asthma. He was able to sell his early screenplays for record amounts and forged a Hollywood career alongside his USC Film School contemporaries Steven Spielberg and George Lucas (both of...

A film that makes you care about people who care about people, this compact indie doesn't have to look hard for drama in a foster care home, whose young workers need help as much as the damaged teens in their charge. The storylines are a little convenient, but it's an emotional watch, and Larson is outstanding.

Faith issues, "human interest" and even buddy comedy blend smoothly in this true-life tale of a retired Irish woman's search for her adult son, aided by a sceptical English hack.

Though it would have been easy to walk into the room to interview Milius’ directors Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa with a little trepidation, expecting to be told to go and screw myself upon arrival – fortunately it seems that filmmaker and documentary subject John Milius’ bombastic spirit had not rubbed off on either man.

During the course of our conversation Zak and Joey spoke of meeting Milius for the first time, and being toyed with in typical Milius fashion. From there the discussion spiralled to take in iconic directors and their love of collaboration, the ownership of film, the changing fortunes of the director as the film business evolved, and the possibility of one last hoorah for the one of Hollywood’s most renowned storytellers.

Of all the filmmakers, why Milius?

Joey Figueroa: This project was kind of brought to us, in the sense that one of our producers...

Interview Luke Savage 1 Nov 2013 - 06:22

A chat with the directors of a new documentary charting the career of filmmaker John Milius...

"Are you ready for your round-table with Joey and Zak?"

"Yes, I am, lovely PR person", is my instant reply. Yes, I am. Although that second half is me adding poetic license here. I'm too British to go full-out on the compliments this early into a relationship.

That exchange of pleasantries heralds a welcome interview with directors Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson. They're in town to talk about their documentary Milius, charting the incredible life and career of filmmaker John Milius. It's a very good documentary. So good that I'm not concerned at having to share them with three other interviewers.

And it's so good that I don't mind being a little deflated when I finally get into my first round-table interview. Because there's no table. Nothing. Just...

"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning..."

With a ferocious demeanor as sharp as the iconic movie lines he wrote, John Milius became an 'enfant terrible' amongst studio executives despite his credits including Apocalypse Now, Dirty Harry, Jaws and Conan The Barbarian. The rise and fall of the legendary scribe and script doctor is a narrative worthy of Hollywood itself, laden with potent twists and superbly conveyed in this fascinating documentary.

Milius unfolds chronologically and fuses classic footage from movies alongside archival and newly-recorded interviews with key players, interspersed with candid behind-the-scenes audio and visual recordings. These all combine...

If you’re not familiar with John Milius, he’s the Hollywood wunderkind who wrote Apocalypse Now, wrote and directed Conan The Barbarian and Red Dawn, and who once demanded to be paid for a rewrite of Dirty Harry in firearms. Somewhere between John Huston and a Wolverine, he’s not an easy man to track down, but filmmakers Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson managed to do exactly that for Milius, their new documentary about his life and Hollywood career.As demonstrated by this clip, which kicks off with Mike Medavoy, United Artists' VP of production at the time of Apocalypse Now, they’ve done more than that: they also tracked down some of his peers to chip in with insights and memories of the man.

Apart from the three sneak screening titles that will stir up the buzz in the coming days, Julie Huntsinger and Tom Luddy’s 40th edition of the Telluride Film Festival excels in bringing a concentration of solid docus from the likes of Errol Morris and Werner Herzog who this year cuts the ribbon on a theatre going by his name and introduces Death Row, a pinch of Berlin Film Fest items (Gloria, Slow Food Story, Fifi Howls from Happiness) Palme d’Or winner (this year Abdellatif Kechiche will be celebrated), upcoming Sony Pictures Classics items (Tim’s Vermeer, The Lunchbox), Venice to Telluride to Tiff titles (Bethlehem, Tracks and Under the Skin), the latest Jason Reitman film (Labor Day) and the barely known docu-home-movie whodunit (by helmers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine) The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden which features narration from the likes of Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger and Connie Nielsen.

Content Film has snapped up international sales rights (excluding Spain) to a documentary about John Milius, the director of Conan the Barbarian and screenwriter behind Apocalypse Now.

Milius, which tells the life story of the Us film-maker and premiered at SXSW, has also been bought by StudioCanal for the UK.

Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa make their feature debut, having previously made behind the scenes documentaries for companies such as Miramax and Disney through their company Chop Shop Entertainment.

The film was produced by Matthew Perniciaro and Kevin Mann of Haven Entertainment, Scott Mosier of Ogb, Inc. and Kenneth Plume.

The deal was negotiated by Toby Melling of Content and Wme Global on behalf of the producers.

The documentary follows Milius’s childhood aspirations from joining the military to his formative years at the USC Film School, his scriptwriting on films such as Dirty Harry, Jeremiah Johnson and Apocalypse Now and his work as director on films...

Writer-director John Milius is too colorful of a filmmaker not to have his own documentary. Ironically, the man who wrote Apocalypse Now and Dirty Harry as well as writing and directing Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn has now faded into semi-obscurity behind contemporaries and colleagues such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. While Spielberg and Lucas rode to fame on cutting-edge special effects paired with an appreciation of the sci-fi and adventure genres, Milius came from a completely different place that earned him the admiration of his peers, but also turned him into an outsider and eventually a pariah in Hollywood. In Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson's documentary Milius, his friends and family come to speak about the greatness about the controversial filmmaker, and how his personality brought him to success, but also may have been part of his professional downfall. After a brief montage of various directors,...

They say that in Hollywood, you're only as good as your last picture. It's a good thing nobody told the wunderkinds of yesteryear, otherwise documentarians Joey Figueroa and Zak Knuston might never have given us Milius, an exhaustingly comprehensive chronicle of one man's rise, semi-fall, and redemption in the big bad movie business. Milius progresses by the standard talking-head documentary format, and is none the worse for wear because of it, with an all-star cast of commentators driving home just how talented and esteemed a writer and director John Milius is. In the first ten minutes, there are interviews with Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Sam Elliot, and Oliver Stone, all with nothing but glowing praise sprinkled with a healthy dose of...

What do Dirty Harry, Conan the Barbarian and Apocalypse Now have in common?  Filmmaker John Milius.  The Oscar-nominated writer/director/producer is responsible for some of the most iconic and macho films of the late twentieth century, but is also known for his volatile persona off the set.  Premiering at SXSW is debut directors' Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson's documentary on Milius, simply titled, Milius.  I could try to describe Milius' work, but I'll just let Sam "The Voice" Elliott sum it up: "He doesn't write for pussies and he doesn't write for women...he writes for men, because he's a man." Well said, sir.  Hit the jump to watch the trailer and check out the poster for Milius. Watch the trailer for Milius below: Official synopsis for Milius: The life story of one of the most influential and controversial film directors in the history of Hollywood,...

I’m just gonna come right out and say it – John Milius is the Ernest Hemingway of my generation. A man who tells stories about men for men. A larger-than-life character who’s as well known for his persona as his talent, but not in the stupid way today’s stars are, where it’s all some calculated marketing plan. A gifted writer with a genuine talent for telling compelling stories that turned into some of our most unforgettable films. Hell, the man was the real-life inspiration for The Big Lebowski's Walter Sobchak. You don’t get any more awesome than that. I love John Milius, and because of that, I’m more excited than anyone to finally get a chance to see Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson’s documentary about the legendary...

The older he’s gotten, the more of a legend he has become. So it should come as no surprise that the great John Milius would have a documentary made about him -- the real question is what took so long. The man behind the “Dirty Harry” franchise, “Apocalypse Now,” and “Conan the Barbarian” is known as much for his personality as he is for his film work. He was one of the inspirations for the Walter Sobchak character in the “The Big Lebowski” after all (as we discussed in our feature about the film yesterday). Anyway, finally that personality has been captured for our enjoyment in the upcoming documentary “Milius,” from filmmakers Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson, and the trailer is now here to give you a peek. As you will witness, the filmmakers have interviewed some of the biggest names in Hollywood: Harrison Ford, Martin Scorsese, Arnold Schwarzenegger,...

Writer.  Filmmaker. Gun-owner.  And all around bad-ass, John Milius, is the man who is responsible in part for the Dirty Harry franchise, Apocalypse Now, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, 1941, Conan The Barbarian, Red Dawn and HBO's Rome.  He was rumoured to have pulled a piece on a film executive and is the direct inspiration for the Coen Brother's Walter Sobchak character ("Mark It Zero!"). Furthermore, he came up with the idea for the Octagon-shaped ring in Ufc combat, wrote dialogue for the Quint character in Jaws, and a gave folks like Robert Zemeckis and Paul Schrader a leg up in the business when they were starting out.Making its debut at the SXSW festival this week is the documentary from Joey Figueroa and...

Documentary filmmakers Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa chart the life of the controversial filmmaker John Milius in the eponymous feature debut. With interviews from Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Oliver Stone, among others, "Milius" celebrates the life of the influential man who co-wrote many iconic films such as "Apocalypse Now," "Jaws," and "Conan the Barbarian." What it's about: "Milius" is about one of the most influential storytellers of his generation, John Milius. Maybe the last of the “Old School” Hollywood types. A man with a larger than life personality and a resume that is undeniable. A man who speaks with zero filter, which at times can be as unpopular as it is celebrated. What else do you want audiences to know about your film? This film was a passion project, that has been in the works for a number of years. We had a list of interviews we were determined to get,...

South by Southwest (SXSW) is just one of many film festivals, we here at Sound On Sight cover yearly. The fest, which takes place every spring in Austin, Texas, began in 1987, and has continued to grow in size every year. The fest announced the first wave of films back in early January, and the lineup included some highly anticipated films such as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Evil Dead, Downloaded and Spring Breakers. Now the full lineup has been announced, and it just might be one of the best lineups the festival has ever programmed.

SXSW takes place March 8-16 in Austin Texas. Here are just some of the films we are excited about.

Narrative Feature Competition – This year’s 8 films were selected from 1,191 submissions. Each film is a World Premiere.

With a little over 100 plus film line-up (a whopping 2000+ titles were submitted), almost 70 are world premieres: there is the highly anticipated sophomore film (that has been on our radar since it first went into production) with M. Blash’s (The Wait), Joe Swanberg who makes SXSW his second home will premiere Drinking Buddies, veteran indie filmmaker John Sayles saddles in with Go For Sisters, and rounding out the Narrative Spotlight section we’ve got The Bounceback from Bryan Poyser, Loves Her Gun from Geoff Marslett along with titles we thought might break into Park City, but found an Austin home instead with Jacob Vaughan’s Milo and...

The South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival, otherwise known as SXSW, gets underway next month, and has now announced this year's lineup of feature films. Joining previously-announced titles, such as Evil Dead and Spring Breakers, are 109 features, including 68 from first-time filmmakers. Notable titles include documentaries I Am Divine, by Jeffrey Schwarz, about Glen Milstead, better known as John Waters' muse Divine; Milius, directed by Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa, which covers the life of renegade filmmaker John Milius; and Rewind This!, by Josh Johnson, a film that aims to "trace the ripples" of the VHS home video revolution. Among the narrative features that caught my eye: Chris Eska's The Retrieval, about a boy who must retrieve a wanted man during the Civil...

Kevin Smith: Too Fat For 40

Stars: Kevin Smith | Directed by Joey Figueroa, Zak Knutson

Kevin Smith is back with the fourth of his his stand-up DVDs, Too Fat For 40. Following the success of An Evening With Kevin Smith and An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder, the fan-favourite filmmaker returns with his first new stand-up DVD in five years – which was filmed on the evening of Kevin Smith’s 40th birthday before a crowd of fans at the Count Basie Theatre in his home town of Red Bank, New Jersey.

Taking its name from Smith’s much-publicised spat with Southwest Airlines where they declared him “too fat to fly” (which he actually discusses at length during the show), Too Fat For 40 is yet another routine filled with anecdotes and stories which are rife with Smith’s now-typical self deprecating humour – however like his previous show, A Three-vening with Kevin Smith,...

The webisodes are titled "Money Shots" and are directed by Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa. Thanks to Quick Stop Entertainment, we've got the first episode below, which provides a great introduction to what we'll eventually be seeing in other episodes. Kevin Smith is as great of a storyteller off screen as he is on screen and does a great job giving everyone an inside look at how he makes movies.
