Wes Anderson’s favorite on-set still photographer James Hamilton with 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman and Anne-Katrin Titze on his Village Works exhibition: “They have a display of eight of my photographs, good size prints, including Lou Reed and John Cale and Pattie Smith and Tom Verlaine and Prince and Debbie Harry.”
In the first instalment with photojournalist James Hamilton, Wes Anderson’s favourite on-set still photographer (James is also the voice of Mole in Fantastic Mr. Fox and makes an appearance in The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou), we start out discussing Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Grace Kelly’s Mark Cross bag, the Albert Hotel, Harper’s Bazaar, and everything else that James Stewart’s Lb Jeffries eerily has in common with the subject of Dw Young’s surprisingly candid Uncropped (a highlight and centerpiece selection of the 14th edition of Doc NYC).

Donald Trump likes weddings—he really, really likes weddings. As the story goes, in 2010 he was so miffed at not being invited to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding that he tried to crash the party.
Bill and Hillary Clinton were invited to Donald and Melania Trump’s wedding in 2005, and apparently The Donald assumed that he would be on the guest list that included Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and Barbra Streisand.
Donald Trump Hit Up Two Bedminster Weddings
In the days leading up to the big event, the former president contacted Doug Band, a top member of the Clinton Foundation, to confirm his invite.
Politico reported that Joe Conason, who wrote “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton” that Trump told him “I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug” and demanded to know where the venue was.

Even if you don’t know James Hamilton’s name, you probably recognize some of his images. Over a career that has spanned seven decades and seen his work published in Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Observer, New York Magazine and The Village Voice, Hamilton has photographed music and film superstars, legendary directors, notorious criminals and powerful politicians, as well as wars, famines and revolutions.
Hamilton is also humble to a fault, making him a perfect focal subject for D.W. Young’s new documentary Uncropped. Ostensibly a biography of and tribute to Hamilton’s life and work, Uncropped is most interesting when it uses its subject as a bit of a Trojan horse. Yes, Uncropped achieves its goal of raising Hamilton’s profile and celebrating the genius within his work. But that’s probably only the level on which it’s third or fourth most successful — behind serving as...

Author Joe Conason, a 20-year student of Bill Clinton, made headlines with his new biography of the former president even before the book hit the shelves. (Remember that leaked dinner-party scene where former Secretary of State Colin Powell allegedly advised then-current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her ill-fated private email server? It's complicated, right?) Now that Conason's Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton is in bookstores this week, we see that he tackles in 486 pages the even more complicated matters of Clinton's relationships with the biggest names in political headlines this season. Here's the...

Hillary Clinton's email scandal continues. On Friday, the New York Times reported that Clinton told FBI officials former Secretary of State Colin Powell had advised her to use a personal email account while she held the Secretary of State office herself. "Her people have been trying to pin it on me," Powell, 79, told People Saturday night at the Apollo in the Hamptons 2016 Night of Legends fête in East Hampton, New York. "The truth is, she was using [the private email server] for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did," Powell added. Why does the former diplomat believe this to be the case?...

Hillary Clinton told federal officials that it was former Secretary of State Colin Powell who told her to use the personal email account that has plagued the presidential hopeful for more than a year, reports say. During the three-and-a-half-hour interview with FBI officials that led to bureau director James Comey's decision not to pursue criminal charges, Clinton, 68, said Powell advised her to use the account and she even inquired about his email practices during his time as Secretary of State, the New York Times reports.

Sad holiday weekend news today. Peter W. Kaplan, the longtime editor of The New York Observer, has died at age 59 of cancer, The New York Times confirmed. Kaplan’s accomplishment was this: he took a salmon-colored weekly and made it a must read dissection on the glitter of Gotham power players. He injected the publication with relevance and invested his personal stamp, a love of dogged reporting on niche subjects like media, high finance and publishing, down to who sat where at lunch in Manhattan’s most important restaurants and who was getting fired in the magazine business and why. In transforming his publication into a must read, Kaplan’s tenure at The Observer reminded me of when Kurt Anderson, Graydon Carter and Tom Phillips launched Spy Magazine. They took a much more acerbic and satirical look at the subjects, but both were imprinted by the vision of editors. Kaplan...

Peter Kaplan, who spent 15 years as editor of The New York Observer, died Friday at 59 of cancer. His brother James confirmed the news to The New York Times. Kaplan was appointed the publication's editor in 1994 and became the longest-serving editor in the Observer's history. During his tenure, he transformed the publication into a must-read for the movers and shakers of New York and mentored a number of well-known journalists, including Joe Conason (The National Memo) and Choire Sicha (The Awl).

NEW YORK -- The potent subject matter of this documentary adapted from the best-selling book by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons is unfortunately undercut by its tabloid-style execution. Detailing the ambitious campaign by both reputable and dubious elements of the right wing to oppose Bill Clinton, "The Hunting of the President" sacrifices credibility not only by the fact that it was co-directed and co-written by the obviously partisan Harry Thomason (along with Nickolas Perry), but also because of its cheesy cinematic style. The film should benefit from the current insatiable appetite for political material, but it will likely be overshadowed by the impending release of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Beginning with footage of Clinton's impeachment hearings, the film then flashes backward and outlines in considerable detail -- using extensive archival footage and interviews with many of the figures involved -- the many ways in which right-wing elements sought to undercut Clinton's candidacy and his presidency. It is quite a cautionary tale for left wingers, even if it never quite manages to provide a sense of exactly why Clinton and wife Hillary so provoked the outsized animus of their political opponents.
Many of the plot elements play like the sort of comic thrillers involving bumbling protagonists written by Elmore Leonard. Some of the more odious figures are Everett Ham, the leader of an organization (the Alliance for the Rebirth of an Independent America) dedicated to discrediting Clinton; Cliff Jackson, a lawyer who was involved in the Arkansas State Troopers revelations and the release of Clinton's military draft record; and private investigator Larry Case, who sought to exploit the release of the Gennifer Flowers story for financial gain. Also providing testimony are David Brock, a formerly conservative journalist who has since recanted many of his assertions, and Susan McDougal, who movingly describes her experiences while being incarcerated for her refusal to testify in the Whitewater investigation.
While the film provides much fascinating detail, especially in its delineation of the way that even less-than-credible figures can manipulate the media, the sheer volume of information presented may prove confusing for those not already familiar with the facts. Worse, it uses numerous hoary techniques -- including tabloid-television-style editing and ominous background music -- that tend to detract from the seriousness of the issues being addressed.
Morgan Freeman delivers the portentous narration.

NEW YORK -- Distributor Regent Entertainment is postponing the release date of its upcoming political documentary The Hunting of the President by a week in the wake of Ronald Reagan's death. Regent's Paul Colichman confirmed Monday that Hunting -- based on the best-selling book of the same name by Gene Lyons and Joe Conason -- will now roll out June 18, instead of June 11. The film was slated to have its premiere Wednesday at New York University's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, but Regent will now roll out the red carpet June 16. "It was the right thing to do," said Colichman. "The theme of our movie is respect for the American president. (It would be wrong) during a week of mourning to be throwing a party." Co-directed by Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry, Hunting follows, according to the filmmakers, "the partisan vendettas and political myths and truths behind the nearly 10-year campaign to systematically destroy the political legacy of the Clintons."...
