    The entire last week has seen much of Hollywood's movers and shakers in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, and so this was another slow news week, and more than that, it was also one of the most "Rotten Idea" filled weeks this column has ever seen. Given that the lead story is the Academy Awards, that's really saying something, too. The stories that did make the cut include a sequel for The Last Exorcism, two other movies involving ghosts or the supernatural, and new roles for Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Selena Gomez, Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon.

  • Review: ‘Man on a Ledge’ Lives Up to Its B-Movie Title

    Jack Giroux
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:15 pm
    “You know, Mikey, one day you’re going to stick your dick in the wrong door, and somebody’s going to slam it,” and that line represents Man on a Ledge in a nutshell. Goofy and laughable, but overall kind of charming. Director Asger Leth, with the assistance of commercial honcho mega producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, has made a through and through B movie. What you’d expect from a movie called Man on a Ledge, you get. It’s all fairly preposterous and thin, and Leth knows not to let it go on too long before its cheesy charms lose steam. The plot, well, you…

  • ‘Lovelace’ To Replace Demi Moore With Sarah Jessica Parker

    I’m not one to report on celebrity gossip, so I’m not going to get too much into what’s been going on with Demi Moore lately, but suffice to say, the lady is having some issues that have caused her to drop out of the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace. She was set to play Gloria Steinem, who was a high profile feminist writer and political leader of the women’s lib movement in the 70s. Over the course of her career Steinem spoke out pretty regularly against the porn business, and in 1980 she wrote a piece for “Ms. Magazine” titled ‘The Real Linda Lovelace’ that acts as a framing…

  • Chris Rock: 'Grown Ups' Cast Reunion Might Not Be A Sequel

    Terri Schwartz
    27 Jan 2012 | 4:00 pm
    Considering "Grown Ups" was the highest-grossing film Adam Sandler has ever been a part of, it doesn't come as too much of a surprise to hear that he has been hard at work trying to bring the gang back together for a follow-up. The film starred a collection of Sandler's friends including Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, and went on to resonate strongly with audiences.

Liam the Badass is Back Neeson seems to specialize in "Tough Guy In Charge" roles, and there aren't many characters more badass than John Ottway, an oil-rig employee who leads a rough band of plane crash survivors through the wilds of Alaska. Neeson is believable as the stern but caring…

    In MTV News' recent visit to the set of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," we learned that the movie will be anything but a traditional look back at the life of our 16th president. Most biopics about Lincoln don't involve Honest Abe utilizing his own custom form of axe-centered martial arts. "It's a very unique take," Mary Elizabeth Winstead told MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival, in what may be the biggest understatement in movies this year.

    So much goes into predicting and ultimately deciding Oscar nominations that it can be difficult to decide which award shows to pay attention to and which to ignore. This week's Oscar nominations, however, proved that one award show in particular can be very useful in predicting some of the Academy's more surprising picks. The Screen Actors Guild Awards announced their nominations weeks before the Academy's and showed that their picks should not be overlooked during award season. SAG both honored and turned away many of the same performances that the Academy shocked and snubbed earlier this…

Aubrey Plaza, recently at Sundance for her time-travel comedy "Safety Not Guaranteed," spoke with MTV News this week about starring opposite Murray and Charlie Sheen in "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III," an experience she clearly enjoyed... perhaps a little bit too much. "I did actually," Plaza deadpanned when asked if she got an authentic "Bill Murray experience" on the "Charles Swan"…

Dafoe’s charge is to bring the animal back alive so the mysterious corporation that hired him can harness its DNA. The Hunter Trailer The Hunter also stars Alcatraz’s Sam Neill and arrives on VOD March 2 and in theaters April 6.

  • Who Should Win the Academy Award for Best Actor?

    27 Jan 2012 | 1:24 pm
    The Oscar nominees for Best Actor are certainly a wickedly talented bunch that also contains a few of the biggest movie stars on the planet. But… which one deserves to take home the Oscar? Each could lay claim to the trophy, yet George Clooney is the clear front-runner for his role in The Descendants. And by a hair, we think he turned in the best performance and will win. But, my Movie Fanatic nation, deserving to win and who you want to win are two separate thoughts. We want your opinion in the poll below to let us know what your favorite performance of the year was by a lead actor…

  • Conquest

    David Carter
    10 Jan 2012 | 9:47 pm
    Lucio Fulci Conquest was to be a star vehicle for Mexican matinee idol Jorge Rivero, who had begun working more frequently in American and European cinema. More importantly however, it was intended to cash in on the revived interest in the “sword-and-sorcery” genre after the success of John Milius and Oliver Stone’s Conan the Barbarian. To his credit, Fulci took what could have been formulaic exercise in genre and, as he did with Zombi 2, created a film that is arguably superior to the one it was intended to imitate.

  • Manhattan Baby

    David Carter
    9 Jan 2012 | 8:13 pm
    Lucio Fulci In a 1982 interview with Starburst magazine, Fulci called The Beyond, “an absolute film… a film of images, which must be received without any reflection.” Manhattan Baby is not “an absolute film” and it is doubtful that Fulci would have considered it to be, but it is incorrect to view it as a failed attempt at such. It is a synthesis of Fulci’s two modes of operation, the sublimely surreal and the mercenary, and comes far closer to achieving a balance to these competing concepts than any of his other films.

  • The New York Ripper

    David Carter
    8 Jan 2012 | 11:17 am
    Luio Fulci The New York Ripper’s incredibly realized scenes of violence were primarily responsible for the ire the film drew upon its release. Though not necessarily more violent than that of Fulci’s other films of the period, the violence is not couched in the realm of the fantastic. Instead of presenting the murder as a beautiful set piece in the style of an Argento film, he makes it impossible to remain detached from what is occurring.

  • House by the Cemetery

    Rumsey Taylor
    5 Jan 2012 | 5:06 pm
    Lucio Fulci As a haunted house movie, House by the Cemetery possesses a multitude of menaces and scenes of authentic gruesomeness, and although things will get wrapped up somewhat customarily at the end, at great expense to the comfort of the Boyle family, it remains decidedly incoherent. Fulci entertained a preference for atmosphere in his previous film, The Beyond, and the same describes this film: an Italian horror film set in America, pivoting around a child with a curious appellation, and occurring at a house with a cemetery in the front yard.

  • Lucio Fulci’s Gates of Hell

    Rumsey Taylor, Thomas Scalzo, and David Carter
    1 Jan 2012 | 3:53 pm
    Lucio Fulci had helmed over two decades of work prior to 1979’s Zombie. It was for him a period of liberal experimentation in genre, including over a dozen comedies, none of which were formally distributed abroad, and a series of giallo thrillers and action pictures in the 1970s. At this point, Fulci’s work displayed two nascent tendencies for which he would later achieve some renown: a proclivity for grotesque violence, and a critique of his Catholic upbringing. Both are exemplified in drastically different manners in his 1972 ventures Don’t Torture a Duckling, in which a…

    I’ve been following Ramit Sethi for a few years, back when I interviewed him for my doc You 2.0.

He works really, really hard and in the years since has done a great job becoming the next generation Suze Orman. Lately I have mixed feeling about his content.

  • The Panasonic GH2 Review – Small, Awesome, and Less Than $1000

    Joey
    28 Dec 2011 | 7:36 pm
    A DSLR that doesn’t overheat, doesn’t have a recording limit, shoots the gamut of HD frame rates, autofocuses while filming, and is less than $900…does it exist?! Yes. The Backstory I’ve been sitting on the sidelines for the past few years during the DSLR battles. For my needs in documentary work, there seemed to be so many limitations with DSLRS (specifically the most popular brand, Canon) that having shallow depth of field wasn’t worth the tradeoff for no audio, short recording times, overheating, and lots of additional support gear needed. I’ve had my Sony…

    Joey
    24 Dec 2011 | 12:18 pm
    Yes, I got on the DSLR bandwagon. Well, technically it’s not a DSLR as the Panasonic GH2 is a Micro Four-Thirds camera that lacks a flipping mirror. But for the sake of video, that’s actually an advantage. About a week ago the GH2 wasn’t even on my radar when I started thinking about DSLRs. After playing with it for a few days, I don’t understand why it isn’t on more people’s radar, and in their gear kit. I’ll go way more in-depth next week with all the features, but so far, it’s blown every Canon I’ve used out of the water. Related posts:…

For example, this video that was sent over by my friend Eric from IONCinema.com called "Shit People Say at Sundance 2012", featuring some guy named Alexander Norton. When you're here, you start to hear many phrases repeated over and over, many of them becoming quite iconic, legendary, and often amusing to hear.

  • Sundance 2012: 'Save the Date' is Not Just Another Romantic Comedy

    Ethan Anderton
    28 Jan 2012 | 12:55 am
    If there's one thing most romantic comedies can't seem to lock down it's real romance and substantial comedy. However, when it comes to the film festival circuit, plenty of films hit it right on the money. Whether it's (500) Days of Summer or even Garden State, Sundance is the place to find a real love story with heart and comedy. Save the Date easily fits into that category but with an even more grounded, even practical approach to love as a twenty-something. From the pressure of being engaged to the lead-up to a serious relationship, a lot can go wrong when it comes to romance. But…

    Alex Billington
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:50 pm
    Are you ready for the "Untold Story"? While, yes that makes no sense at all, Sony is really pushing hard to keep this tagline at the forefront of their marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man. I just hope it doesn't backfire. Although we're well in 2012 now, things have been very, very quiet in terms of Marc Webb's new Spider-Man, without new footage or marketing since the trailer from July and that shadow teaser poster. But that's all about to change, as ComingSoon reports that Sony is hosting worldwide "preview events" in two weeks, on Monday, February 6th, in 2 big cities in the US (NY/LA)…

  • Review: Decent Enough Thrills Can Be Found with 'Man on a Ledge'

    Jeremy Kirk
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:49 pm
    Man on a Ledge, the new film directed by Asger Leth, never hits the depths of dullness its name implies. It doesn't exactly rev the engines from frame one, either. Hand-holding at times, drab for a majority of its running time, and not the most memorable of heist thrillers, it sits on that ledge for a large portion, daring to take the leap. Luckily, it finally does and ends up being above average for this brand of casual, movie-going experience. They could have chosen a much more interesting title, though.

  • Sorry, India: David Fincher’s Unwillingness to Cut Nudity Means No Release For ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’

    Briefly: David Fincher is committed to the integrity of his films. He’s committed to it to the degree that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo won’t be released in India, because the director refused to make cuts. Variety reports that the January release of the movie was delayed to February, and that the Central Board of Film Certification demanded cuts to five scenes featuring nudity. But when Sony conferred with David Fincher, he said the film could only be released uncut and unaltered. (Optical censoring is sometimes used to blur nudity, though that was evidently not an options…

    It was just a few days ago that Demi Moore dropped out of the porn biopic Lovelace after being hospitalized for “exhaustion,” but it looks like filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman may be close to finding their replacement already. Us Weekly reports that Weeds star Mary Louise Parker is being considered as a possibility to step in for Moore, who was previously set for a small part as feminist icon Gloria Steinem. If the report proves true — and if Parker accepts — she’ll be joining a sprawling cast that includes Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Adam Brody,…

Opening today in limited release, The Theater Bizarre -- theater information here -- features six short films, individually directed by Douglas Buck, Buddy Giovinazzo, David Gregory, Karim Hussain, Tom Savini and Richard Stanley. Our own Kurt Halfyard saw it last summer at Fantasia. In his…

    The second season of Being Human kicks off on Syfy on January 16th, and the show delivered well enough the first season to warrant some real excitement when it comes to how things will continue on. It's becoming increasingly rare that British translations work out, and this one has been a welcome surprise. To help kick things off, I have a couple of very cool clips, and an interview with the stars. Let's just dive in.   ‘Relationships’   ‘A Look Ahead’     And, here's the interview.   Pictured: (l-r) Meaghan Rath as Sally, Sam Witwer as Aiden, Sam Huntington…

    The Wolf Pack is back, and this time they're terrorizing Thailand. The Hangover Part 2 is on Blu-Ray, and I've got your copy waiting for you. This time around, suspect of everything at this point, Stu (Ed Helms) doesn't even want a bachelor party, and it's only by way of a guilt trip that Alan (Zach Galifianakis) is allowed to come to the wedding at all. In fact, Stu is so paranoid that he doesn't want to leave his finacee's side, and is only willing to have one beer with the guys, because he opens it himself. Of course, it would be an awfully short movie if they didn't wake up in outrageous…

  • Friends With Kids Trailer Released

    Marc Eastman
    12 Jan 2012 | 11:11 am
    Hitting theaters on March 9th is not only what looks to be a great movie, with a brilliant cast, but a film you can real cheer for just based on the writer/director. Friends with Kids is written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt, and while being in a relationship with Mad Men's Jon Hamm for more than a decade probably doesn't hurt your career, she broke out as both a writer and actress with 2001's uber-indie Kissing Jessica Stein. Not just a quirky charmer, that film has gone on to manage almost a cult status. She also wrote and starred in the horribly overlooked Ira & Abby in 2006, and…

  • The Finder Review – FOX

    Marc Eastman
    11 Jan 2012 | 11:37 am
    A couple of FOX's big shows, mainly Bones and Fringe, have outstayed their welcome really, but Bones is at least trying to provide some more entertainment for its fans, sort of. Billed to some extent as a spin-off, despite having no justifiable claim to the idea, The Finder may nevertheless turn into a hit based on some theory we might connect to the general idea of spin-offs. Generally speaking, having a show put together already, and then having characters from that show guest star on an already existing show does not magically turn the new show into a spin-off. However, there is something…

    The House I Live In (2012) dir. Eugene JareckiDocumentary By Alan BacchusIt's been over 40 years since the term 'War on Drugs' was coined by Richard Nixon, and the fight has still not been won. Very little has changed, and according to Eugene Jarecki and the participants in his film it's even worse now than it was then. Considering Jarecki's success with political films, such as Why We Fight and Reagan, one would think he would be capable of handling such a broad topic. Unfortunately, like the authorities who can't seem to make any headway in their struggle, such is the result of this film.

After two unsuccessful albums he faded into obscurity. But to South Africans, through luck and circumstance, his albums became as popular as Elvis's, and part of the counterculture anthems that helped spark the anti-Apartheid movement.

He's considered Brazil's most famous actor, and indeed he holds the picture down even when it threatens to over-indulge in its own self-importance.Theo (Moura) is…

    27 Jan 2012 | 2:45 am
    I'm not sure what to call it now, everyone's saying Lockout on the Internet and IMDB still display all three titles but their main one is the English title of MS One: Maximum Security. Whether that means it's only called that in England, and not the rest of Britain, I'm not sure. However let's go with Lockout for the rest of the article for now.

    I'm really surprised by what I just read about the voting for the Oscars Best Original Song category for so many reasons, not just the fact that the voting system appears to be different to other categories in the Oscars, not that they are watching and listening to sections of films totally out of context, doesn't include certain songs in any film, but that despite all this "Best" only raises two nominees. I know that the voting system isn't the best, but I had believe that the panel of people who actually vote for the Oscars is quite a diverse...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

    Brake may instantly sound like Buried, and a cheap version at that especially as it stars the once were strong Stephen Dorff and Tom Berenger, but the concept behind it sounds rather interesting, even if the lighting in the trailer is a little too bright, it seems wrong that he's seems to be inside a Perspex box in some scenes, and the trailer seems to give too much away. One of the beautiful things about the Buried trailer is that it doesn't deliver too much, it sets the horrifying scene and leaves the rest to us, and I think that's...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

  • For Black History Month, 10 Key Films on the African-American Experience

    John Farr
    19 Jan 2012 | 7:10 pm
    With Martin Luther King's birthday just past us, and Black History month coming up, the time seems right to celebrate those invaluable films that shed light on the black community's long struggle for equal rights in this country. Even for those of us who think we know the story well, it's one that always bears repeating, both for ourselves and our children, and an assortment of outstanding movies on DVD can help. Until the early sixties, the portrayal of black characters in movies was confined to servants, porters, and other similar stereotypes. With too rare exceptions, only with the advent…

  • For His Upcoming Birthday, the Top Ten Cary Grant Movies by Farr

    John Farr
    15 Jan 2012 | 5:08 pm
    Next week marks the 108th anniversary of Cary Grant's birth. Have people forgotten Cary Grant? He's been gone a quarter of a century now, and his last movie was made forty-five years ago. Personally, I don't believe so. He was too good, too much of an original to fade away from our collective consciousness. What made him so special? For one thing, he managed to appeal in equal measure to both men and women: women for all the evident reasons, men because he flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Though possessed of an almost feminine beauty and grace, he still managed to project masculinity,…

  • Actor's Actor: Birthday Salute to Robert Duvall

    John Farr
    6 Jan 2012 | 8:57 am
    Robert Duvall, one of our finest living screen actors, turns 81 tomorrow. Born to a career military officer from Virginia and his wife, an amateur actress and descendant of General Robert E. Lee, Duvall's childhood was peripatetic, as his father was transferred frequently to various bases around the country. (The military bearing Duvall absorbed from his father would later come in handy as he played officers several times in his career, notably in 1979's "The Great Santini" and "Apocalypse Now". He'd even portray his own ancestor, Robert E. Lee, in 2003's "Gods and Generals".) In the…

  • On "The Artist", The Lure of Nostalgia, and Ten Silent Movies Worth Talking Up

    John Farr
    2 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pm
    Just when you start believing there's no hope for anything daring and original coming out of Movieland, something gets released that surprises you. The Artist is one such movie -- and what's new about it is that it's old. Or rather -- it's a silent film -- not just a spoof à la Mel Brooks's Silent Movie (1976), but a true homage to a lost art form. And The Artist really works, recapturing all the charm of a bygone era when movies were really on a roll. Along with Martin Scorsese's just-released Hugo, the film taps into a growing wave of longing for the kind of pictures that made this…

  • Kirk Douglas Turns 95

    Should we call him "Spartacus"? Or "Champion"? Both names certainly fit the man. Kirk Douglas turns 95 tomorrow, and he is still very much with us. (Over the past couple of years, I've spotted him and his beloved wife Anne twice in New York City, once in a restaurant and once at the theatre.) He embodies the American Dream because he seized it with the same intensity that animated his characters on-screen. Born in Amsterdam, New York to impoverished immigrant parents, from early days he had a burning desire to perform, and saw acting as his ticket to a better life. He received a scholarship…

And this particular go will be gone before you know it. What’s this? Underworld: Awakening, the fourth installment in the more endless than endlessly entertaining series, may be followed by a fifth?

But no worries, Dolly Parton brings on the big star-power with…Queen Latifah?!

He was 57, but we first met in 1984 when he was 30 and I was 27. In the years I knew him, he worked at New Yorker Films, Alive, Samuel Goldwyn, Avenue Pictures, October Films (which he co-founded with Jeff Lipsky), United Artists, Sidney Kimmel Entertainment... I can't keep track of them all, but I hadn't spoken to him since he moved west in November to head up the San Francisco Film Society. What I can't fathom right now is that I…

    I would never want to read a screenplay before seeing the movie based on it. As a critic, in fact, it would be a violation of my responsibilities (and ethics) to do that. The film has to be seen on its own, as a completed work; a critic shouldn't rummage through the drafts before experiencing the finished piece -- whether it's a movie or a painting or a symphony. I'm even ambivalent about reading certain books before seeing the movie versions, too, and for the same reason that I don't like to see trailers, particularly of films I'm likely to write about: I don't want to harbor preconceived…

In 2012 it will also become a DC graphic novel, but my feeling while watching the new movie was that the material had reached its apotheosis as A David Fincher Film. I haven't read the novels (I've paged through some of "Dragon Tattoo" in English), but even fans I've talked to don't make any claims for Larsson as a great…

Kristin and some acquaintances have told me that they found parts of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy hard to follow. Several critics, while praising the film (and doubtless getting more of it than that guy), have warned viewers to pay close attention. Roger Ebert said: I enjoyed the film’s look and feel, the perfectly modulated performances, and the whole tawdry world of spy and counterspy, which must be among the world’s most dispiriting occupations.

    The Magnificent Seven. DB here: In the long trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander makes a gesture to show that her fabulous memory has recorded the documents Blomkvist wants her to read over. She raises her hand toward her head and flicks her spindly forefinger. It reminded me of how important gestures are to film performances, and how comparatively rare they are today. One feature of what I’ve called the contemporary intensified continuity style is a reliance on tight facial shots, so that actors work more with their eyes, eyebrows, and mouths than…

  • Pandora’s digital box: From the periphery to the center, or the one of many centers

      A laserdisc of The East Is Red; a VCD of Peking Opera Blues. DB here: On my first visit to Hong Kong in early 1995, one of my missions was to acquire video copies of all those HK films I wanted to study. The VHS tapes I’d seen in the States had grimy images and pan-and-scan framing. So, armed with my credit card, I focused on a higher-end format, the laserdisc. For those too young or too sequestered to know this format, I should explain. A laserdisc was twelve inches in diameter, the size of a vinyl LP record, and coated with aluminum. A movie’s image track was inscribed…

    5 Jan 2012 | 9:44 am
    Of the thirty-three titles I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival this year, only nine were projected on 35mm film. The rest were shown on HDCam or Digital Cinema Package. At the first TIFF I attended in 2002, I saw a comparable number of films and all were projected on 35mm or 16mm film.  Jim Healy, Director of Programming, University of Wisconsin–Madison Cinematheque DB here: Do you complain about ads before movies? In the Digital Age you can expect more of them because there will be ads for the theatre’s projector and server and even the financing agent that supplied…

    Metade Fumaca (1999). DB here: In the Web age, physical books become e-books, and virtual books, often self-published, can mutate into tangible things of paper and glue. That’s what has happened to Planet Hong Kong 2.0. The story so far: In 2011 I revised the old version. I updated the existing chapters and added four new ones. Our web tsarina Meg Hamel designed a very nice pdf version of it, with over 400 color pictures and an ingratiating layout. That is still available for $15 elsewhere this site. I had pretty good luck with selling the e-book online, having earned enough to pay the…

  • Blu-ray: THE GUARD (2011)

    ricksflickspicks
    2 Jan 2012 | 3:01 am
    Buy It Now!This dark comedy isn’t the prettiest looking release, but Sony does bring it to Blu-ray in a quality MPEG-4 AVC 1080p transfer. Dimensionality is the biggest issue with the image often looking soft. This then lowers the depth of field. Colors are natural and balanced well. When more vibrant colors pop up in the palette they do indeed pop. Blacks might not be inky throughout, but they aren’t too murky. Digital issues aren’t problematic, but crush is its biggest issue. Of course night scenes in low lighting suffer the worst. Some noise and banding occur but nothing…

  • Rick’s Top 25 Films of 2011 (As It Stands on January 1, 2012)

    ricksflickspicks
    1 Jan 2012 | 2:01 am
    Malick’s masterpiece was an easy choice for the best film of the year. In 2011, Malick planted a tree and Michael Fassbender showed no shame. The help made many disagree while two artists showed us the fragility of fame. Three descendants came together in paradise while a driver drove for a price. Siblings discovered the secrets of their mother while Billy Bean was our baseball brother. London teens saved the world and two young lovers gave it a whirl. Last year I said 2010 was not a great year for films having only awarded 13 four star reviews. In 2011, I awarded 12, so you can judge…

    Check Out the TrailerIt was a surprise when Brendan Gleeson was announced as a Golden Globe nominee for his role as a corrupt, drug using, foul mouthed cop. Once you’ve seen it you’ll know why. He owns the role. The best statement said about his character is he’s either really stupid or really smart. Gleeson plays Gerry Boyle, a north Ireland police officer who is investigating a recent murder when FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle, HOTEL RWANDA) comes to town on a mission to stop an international drug ring. When Everett shows the local officers pictures of the…

    Check Out the TrailerEvery time I see a film this good about faith I always say there should be more films about faith. I’m not talking about preachy, simplistically moralistic religious tracts, but tales about a person’s walk through life and faith with warts and all. Vera Farmiga, who most people will know from UP IN THE AIR, is a smart actress and has made a smart directing debut in adapting Carolyn S. Briggs’ memoir for the screen. This is a film about how a woman comes to faith and how she brings it through her life. Farmiga stars as Corinne, a woman during the 1970s…

    ricksflickspicks
    28 Dec 2011 | 4:01 pm
    Check Out the TrailerThe central mixed martial arts event in this film is called Sparta and it is a fitting name to attach to such a Greek-like drama between fathers and sons and brother versus brother. As a sports drama, it skillfully weaves together both a separate comeback and underdog tale, with the tales colliding in the end. Combining melodrama and character complexity, this simple tale has the emotional power of a piledriver. Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy, INCEPTION) hasn’t seen his father Paddy (Nick Nolte, AFFLICTION) since he and his mother ran away when he was a teen. Now a broken…

  • Film Review #118: Manhunter

    David M. Brown
    27 Jan 2012 | 7:38 pm
    With prices for cinema tickets now reaching ridiculous heights it’s not often I will treat myself to a new release unless it’s something I simply cannot wait for. Instead, I’m happy to content myself with a cheap DVD or a film on TV which may have slipped through my critical net and, believe me, there have been far too many. Whether the films featured here are recent or old I’ll still be providing my honest opinion on them and, with the benefit of hindsight in many cases, may offer a slightly different take to contemporary reviewers.

    Many of us at some stage will have had that hypothetical question about if you were stuck on a desert island what would you take with you. In a similar vein I will be sharing all the songs that I would put in my own personal jukebox, not necessarily to take to a desert island, you understand, but just the many songs that would make me sad should I never hear them again. In order to make things a little interesting I’m going to permit myself just one song from each group or singer, which will be something of a test but one I’ll embrace. I hope you enjoy some of my choices and would be…

  • Book Review #17: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow – Washington Irving

    David M. Brown
    21 Jan 2012 | 7:54 am
    I remember seeing Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) at the cinema and I’d promised myself I would eventually get round to reading the short story. The image of the headless horseman pursuing his prey through woodland at night is not one you can forget in a hurry and I was intrigued to see where it all started and how many heads would roll. There’s no doubt Burton’s adaptation of this classic story changed many elements. In Irving’s story the main character of Ichabod Crane is a local schoolmaster, rather than a police constable, who has eyes on the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel,…

    The Oscar nominees were announced yesterday and surprisingly, Hugo leads with 11 nominations, ahead of The Artist with 10. A bit behind are Moneyball and War Horse with 6 nominations each, and The Descendants with 5. Life is never only black and white, so I’ve decided to mention at least one reason why each of the 9 movies nominated for best picture should win, and at least one reason why it shouldn’t. I did list them from worst to best (in my opinion anyway) so I won’t appear completely spineless: Best Picture – Back to the Past (6 period films) 9. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close…

All of the movies shown at Sundance are independent, without the funds and the backing of a big studio.

    Today is Martin Luther King Day, the day that commemorates the legacy of one of the greatest and most unique historical figures in the United States. His fight for civil rights was one of the few nonviolent protests and was inspired by Mahatma Ghandi’s philosophy and actions. Reverend King’s determination and relentlessness ultimately prevailed on July 2nd 1964, when the Congress enacted the Civil Rights act, a law prohibiting discrimination and racial segregation in America. Dr. King kept reminding Americans that they were the ones who said “all men were created equal”, until…

  • Foreign Originals vs. American Remakes

    Barak
    12 Jan 2012 | 11:16 am
    Contraband is coming out; it’s an American remake (with Mark Wahlberg) of an Icelandic movie called Reykjavik-Rotterdam. Contraband follows The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake that came out last month and stayed more or less true to the Swedish one. There are more and more of these American remakes of foreign films coming out, mainly because most of the American movie goers don’t really like subtitled movies, so the remakes make sense for that purpose. A postmodernist might also say that nothing is original in the postmodern era, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s…

    Spartacus Vengeance Season 2 Episode 1 Fugitivus Review. Spartacus: Vengeance: Season 2, Episode 1: Fugitivus on the surface is everything the first season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand was and then some. Underneath the surface, the show has rebooted in a way. Audiences have to get to know the new lead for the show all over again. What made Spartacus: Blood and Sand great is that the lead was realistic, sad, and sympathetic. How Liam McIntyre will portray Spartacus remains to be seen in later episodes but in Fugitivus he has started out on the dramatic and emotional right foot. The same…

Brake‘s plot synopsis: “A Secret Service Agent is held captive in the trunk of a car and endures high-speed mental and physical torture as terrorists attempt to extract needed information for their sinister plot.” I thought this was a re-dux of Buried but it actually looks much better.

    An okay script and film is strengthened by a huge performance by Meryl Streep, who embodies Margaret Thatcher so much there were times I thought I was actually looking at Thatcher herself. It's not just the look she gets down, but also the voice, mannerisms, and posture to a point where the line between the two gets thin.

It has a more artistic approach to the presentation and the story is less complicated and more straight to the point. Nothing but an absolute sense of realism from every area, especially the well shot fight scenes that pack a punch. An enjoyable and non-filling piece of solid entertainment.

    This week on “Project Runway All-Stars,” the contestants had to make garments based on gelato flavors. However, that wasn’t the only catch. The contestants also had to make the garments in only six hours. That type of a task sounds virtually impossible, but the show is designed to test these all-stars, so this was really a “separate the wheat from the chaff” type of moment. Of course, the contestants were pushed to the limit in both their emotional state and execution. The strain caused quite a few of the designers to produce flaws that normally wouldn’t…

  • REVIEW: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

    25 Jan 2012 | 2:56 pm
    A fast-paced, sentimental film that fails to capture the heart of its literary predecessor. First introduced as a novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is an adventurous, heartfelt story about a boy’s journey to cope with his father’s death in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Protagonist Oskar Schell is an eccentric, off-kilter boy given to hope and the expected incomprehension that would come with the loss of a parent, especially under such harsh circumstances. Foer’s sincere narrative was both beautiful and full of whimsy, and the film adaptation…

  • Movies that Matter—Three Colors: Blue

    20 Jan 2012 | 1:28 pm
    Julie, the character played by Juliette Binoche in Blue, the first film in the Three Colors trilogy, is not an easy woman to like. It’s true we feel for her—she loses both her husband and young daughter to a single car accident in the film’s first few minutes—but how she responds to her tragedy isn’t what we’ve been conditioned to expect from our movies. We expect tears, or even a version of grief bordering on mania. But instead, Julie swallows her pain. She becomes as unfeeling as the stone wall bordering her family’s country home. She doesn’t seem sad as much as angry.

  • REVIEW: Haywire

    20 Jan 2012 | 10:12 am
    Soderbergh's uncommon take on the common action spy movie. My wife and I have a favorite restaurant where we live in Charlotte, N.C., a place called Zink. It’s one of those rare places where it’s useless for us to have a favorite item because we love the whole menu. We don’t just love their food; we love their approach to food. We know that if it’s on the menu it’s good because we’re at Zink and it’s on the menu. We don’t just go for a great steak; we go to find out how Zink makes a great steak. Steven Soderbergh is one such movie director for me; he’s one of my cinematic…

    Edward Burns creates a small gem of a film with true-to-life characters and a Canon 5D. Writer-director-actor Edward Burns is more recognized for his onscreen roles in movies such as Saving Private Ryan, 15 Minutes, Confidence and the upcoming thriller Man on a Ledge. However, to independent film lovers, Burns is known for his Irish-American, Grand Jury Prize-winning, Sundance Film Festival favorite The Brothers McMullen, the ultra “no-budget” film Nice Guy Johnny and now, Newlyweds. Mr. Burns has been causing quite the stir during the Tribeca Film Festival and other small festivals by…

  • REVIEW: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

    6 Jan 2012 | 11:33 am
    A spy movie built on a solid cast rather than big action. The spy movie has developed into an important and popular genre. James Bond, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt have proven to be excellent sources for an entertaining film, but all of those films have one thing in common: They are fictional. Not just the stories themselves, but most aspects of their protagonists' lives. The average spy (and yes, they do exist) does not date models, drive expensive sports cars, get in fights every time he or she goes out or receive exploding messages. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a spy movie, but it has…

  • Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

    Dave Taylor
    3 Jan 2012 | 11:02 am
    While I quite enjoyed the 2009 Guy Ritchie reinvention of the fabled observant detective in Sherlock Holmes, applying the same formula in this newer film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows proved more a boring, tedious exercise in special effects and self-conscious film making and less an engaging and narratively ingenious film.In the original books by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes is a fastidious, rather odd bird with extraordinary knowledge and powers of observation. Famously able to deduce things from the tiniest speck of dust or wrinkle in a hem, he was the anti-hero, someone who…

  • Review: The Iron Lady

    Dave Taylor
    2 Jan 2012 | 10:30 am
    On the surface, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher might not seem like a good subject for a biopic. She wasn't flamboyant, there's no romantic back story, and she was more known for her steel will than her diplomacy. In these politically charged times, however, The Iron Lady is surprisingly timely, with its profile of the greengrocer's daughter who rose through -- fought her way through -- the British political ranks to become one of the most powerful women in the Western Hemisphere.The narrative roughly follows her personal history, starting with her school years and showing how…

  • Review: The Way

    Dave Taylor
    28 Nov 2011 | 12:37 pm
    There's no more essential story than that of the Hero's Journey, and when you combine that with a tale of redemption and spiritual awakening, you should have all the ingredients necessary for a moving, powerful film. That was what Emilio Estevez undoubtedly had in mind when he adapted, directed and gave himself a key role in the film The Way.The titular Way refers to El Camino de Santiago, an ancient 800km pilgrimage from France to Spain, and the reluctant pilgrim is Tom (Martin Sheen, father of Emilio Estevez), who has flown to France from his comfortable suburban life to claim the body of…

  • Review: Hugo

    Dave Taylor
    23 Nov 2011 | 1:00 am
    Once in a while, a film comes along that defies simple explanation. The story proves complex, the characters unexpectedly nuanced, and the entire narrative experience is beyond anything you expect. Hugo is just such a movie, a story that succeeds as a children's fable in the spirit of childhood fantasies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and City of Ember, and simultaneously offers a surprisingly deep and profound exploration of love, family and what it means to be human.Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is a scruffy orphan who lives in forgotten spaces hidden in the walls of…

  • Review: The Three Musketeers

    Dave Taylor
    24 Oct 2011 | 11:04 am
    The Alexander Dumas book The Three Musketeers is one of the most exciting books of its era and still offers a thrilling adventure with the coming-of-age tale of D'Artagnon leaving home to join up with the fabled Musketeers, acting in the service of King Louis XIII against the evil Cardinal Richelieu. Sword fights, treachery, beautiful women, honor, it's a truly epic tale.Which is why it's been adapter to cinema again and again, with predictably mixed results. In fact, this Paul W.S. Anderson production is the 28th time the Dumas story has made it to the screen, and there are rumors of…

Another CLOVERFIELD sighting leaves us fighting long after the outro music, Ron Perlman won't leave us alone, and starting 'Fringe' reminds us of the time I almost beat up Joshua Jackson for not being Ammon.

Which just goes to prove that plot isn't everything when it comes to the movies, because as silly and implausible as this film gets, it's never anything less than entertaining.

    Nicholas Cage and January Jones in, 'Seeking Justice' According to Joblo:  A few years ago Nicholas Cage (Ghost Rider), who for some time it seemed like he was making movies in or about New Orleans, had made a movie that at one point was called, ‘Justice’… Well now it looks like Anchor Bay, will be releasing this movie under the title of, Seeking Justice.  Seeking Justice tells the story of how a husband decides to get revenge on the man who put his wife in to the hospital… The only problem is that the organization that he used now wants him to kill for…

    Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace (and everyone’s favorite Lucas-creation Jar Jar Binks) is set to return to the big screen after just over a decade – this time with a 3D post-conversion. As with any Star Wars release (rerelease, special edition, rererelease, etc), die-hard fans are already polishing their stormtrooper cosplays, shining their lightsaber replicas, and dusting off their Darth Vader helmets in anticipation of midnight screenings and other special events.

  • ‘The Grey’ Director Talks Characters, Locations And Protesters

    John Hanlon
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:48 pm
    Starring Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson, The Grey isn’t really a typical film about a group of rugged men fighting against the forces of nature. The movie’s marketing may make it look like a film about a pack of wolves devouring a group of plane-crash survivors, but the story is about something more than survival of the fittest. It’s about a group of men coming to grips with who they are, and their own mortality. In a recent interview, we spoke to director Joe Carnahan about his new film and why some people are so riled up about it. Most of The Grey takes place after a plane crash…

    Black Swan helmer Darren Aronofsky is returning to the realm of visually-evocative mythicism that he (in part) explored in The Fountain, with another project that is originating as a graphic novel before it makes the transition to cinematic form: Noah, a retelling of the Noah’s Ark story that the director promises will retain the adult subject matter and taboo details present in the original Biblical text (but which are left out in most re-tellings). The Fountain was originally going to mark Aronofsky’s first foray into big-budget filmmaking territory, but that preliminary…

    Despite being criminally snubbed this year with regard to Oscar nominations, Drive was easily one of the most critically-acclaimed and talked about films of 2011 (it was, in fact, Screen Rant’s favorite film). Oscar nominations or no, there’s little doubt that director Nicolas Winding Refn will go onto bigger and better things as a result. In a recent interview, he talked about the success of Drive, the chances of him making Drive 2 (hint: they’re a whole lot better than zero), remaking Logan’s Run, and being passed over to direct an episode of Doctor Who. On the success of Drive,…

    Deal Me Some Death, Baby: Kate Beckinsale does even more of what she does in UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING. The UNDERWORLD franchise’s relentless, death-dealing vampire, Selene (Kate Beckinsale), goes under ice at the beginning of UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING, and so does most of the series’ political intrigue, swapping out the power struggles from the previous entries in favor of even more chases, gunplay, and explosions — lots and lots of explosions. Awakened into a (nominally) future world where humanity has decimated the vampire covens and their natural enemy, the werewolf-like lycans, Selene…

    27 Jan 2012 | 2:49 pm
    Compliance is evidently a pretty rattling experience and, while writer-director Craig Zobel and his cast have been met with catcalls and hostility from audiences in Park City, the reaction of most critics so far seems to have been to go back to their hotel rooms and write raves. Qualified raves, but still.Time Out New York's David Fear: "Having already started her day off on a bum note due to an employee fuck-up, a fast-food manager (Ann Dowd) is simmering at the lack of respect her crew shows her during a shift.

  • Movie Poster of the Week: “It Always Rains on Sunday”

    27 Jan 2012 | 8:43 am
    A couple of months ago I wrote about the British artist Edward Bawden and his posters for Ealing Studios. The other day I stumbled upon this evocative and quite unusual poster for the 1947 Ealing noir It Always Rains on Sunday. Though I know the film I’d never seen the poster before and it started me looking into the story of its artist, one James Boswell. Like Bawden, Boswell not only did a handful of posters for Ealing but he also was stationed in Iraq during World War Two and produced a significant body of work from his time there. Whereas Bawden was an official war artist, however,…

  • For Black History Month, 10 Key Films on the African-American Experience

    John Farr

    With Martin Luther King's birthday just past us, and Black History month coming up, the time seems right to celebrate those invaluable films that shed light on the black community's long struggle for equal rights in this country. Even for those of us who think we know the story well, it's one that always bears repeating, both for ourselves and our children, and an assortment of outstanding movies on DVD can help. Until the early sixties, the portrayal of black characters in movies was confined to servants, porters, and other similar stereotypes. With too rare exceptions, only with the advent…

  • For His Upcoming Birthday, the Top Ten Cary Grant Movies by Farr

    Next week marks the 108th anniversary of Cary Grant's birth. Have people forgotten Cary Grant? He's been gone a quarter of a century now, and his last movie was made forty-five years ago. Personally, I don't believe so. He was too good, too much of an original to fade away from our collective consciousness. What made him so special? For one thing, he managed to appeal in equal measure to both men and women: women for all the evident reasons, men because he flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Though possessed of an almost feminine beauty and grace, he still managed to project masculinity,…

  • Actor's Actor: Birthday Salute to Robert Duvall

    John Farr

    Robert Duvall, one of our finest living screen actors, turns 81 tomorrow. Born to a career military officer from Virginia and his wife, an amateur actress and descendant of General Robert E. Lee, Duvall's childhood was peripatetic, as his father was transferred frequently to various bases around the country. (The military bearing Duvall absorbed from his father would later come in handy as he played officers several times in his career, notably in 1979's "The Great Santini" and "Apocalypse Now". He'd even portray his own ancestor, Robert E. Lee, in 2003's "Gods and Generals".) In the…

    Just when you start believing there's no hope for anything daring and original coming out of Movieland, something gets released that surprises you. The Artist is one such movie -- and what's new about it is that it's old. Or rather -- it's a silent film -- not just a spoof à la Mel Brooks's Silent Movie (1976), but a true homage to a lost art form. And The Artist really works, recapturing all the charm of a bygone era when movies were really on a roll. Along with Martin Scorsese's just-released Hugo, the film taps into a growing wave of longing for the kind of pictures that made this…

(Over the past couple of years, I've spotted him and his beloved wife Anne twice in New York City, once in a restaurant and once at the theatre.) He embodies the American Dream because he seized it with the same intensity that animated his characters on-screen. Born in Amsterdam, New York to impoverished immigrant parents, from early days he had a burning desire to perform, and saw acting as his ticket to a better life. He received a scholarship…

The current awards season (2011/12) has been most kind for Jean Durjardin, following his star making performance in The Artist. It’s a wonderful film and a dazzling lead performance.

Even at the chessboard he seems to be in pain, sitting lopsided to the right, his torso sharply angled into the chair and his head supported by an open palm. If Bobby didn’t appear so deadly serious, you could slap a moustache above his top lip and call him Groucho. The muscles in his face visibly tense as he attempts to smile in television interviews.

    A New Year of horror begins… And we’re not even including the further Republican idiocies that will be foisted upon us. Turn your hearing aid off now. Happy 2012 to all our various listeners, fans, evil-wishers & assorted halflings! We here at The Horror Movie Show sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Xmas, etc. and are ready to face the coming year with verve and the sort of cockeyed optimism displayed by Billy Mumfries in that MS Elaine was supposed to read.

Let’s face facts: the New Year has already been written off by a lot of people who claim to know The End Is Nigh. Or are these people simply insane in the brain? Quite possibly. In any case, here is the latest episode of The Horror Movie Show.

With Xmas & the other holy-days now upon us, we here at The Horror Movie Show & hmpod.com wish you & yours a satisfactory holiday. Don’t step on any Xmas balls.

  • Film Review – Margaret

    Benjamin Nason
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:33 pm
    One of the most curious and difficult things about growing up just may be the collision of reality and preconceived notions. Our worldview is shaped by our experiences as children, from the education we receive, to the friends we keep, to the way we are treated by others. These things form the way we see the world, or, more importantly, the way we want to see the world. As we grow older and enter the proverbial “real world,” these views we’ve shaped growing up clash with the views the rest of the world operates under. This is at the heart of writer and director Kenneth…

  • Film Review – We Need to Talk About Kevin

    Brandi Sperry
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:49 am
    When you have Tilda Swinton’s face available to you for use as a storytelling tool, you employ it for all that it’s worth. Lynne Ramsay, in her new film We Need to Talk About Kevin, finally opening in the U.S. today, understands this truth. Swinton is Eva Khatchadourian, a woman who has been through some type of terrible trauma that the film takes its time spelling out. She wakes up alone on the couch in her small, untidy house, seemingly hungover, with the definite aura of someone for whom this is not an uncommon occurrence. Something in the light in the room is off; it dawns…

  • An Analysis – The Unresolved Legacy of Fritz Lang’s “M”

    Cassidy Robinson
    26 Jan 2012 | 4:12 pm
    The common misconception about our society is that now we have iPods and antibiotics we are a more progressive, forward-thinking culture. But if we only look back into our inconveniently well-recorded history, we can see that might not have always been the case. When Americans think of Germany in the early-to-mid 20th century, we tend to only remember Hitler, goose stepping, and The Rocketeer fighting that guy with the weird face on top of a giant red swastika blimp. The truth is, before the Nazi regime, Germany was one of the most important homes for forward-thinking Jewish filmmakers of the…

    Michael Haneke’s Funny Games (1997) is a film about a family enjoying their vacation lake home. They get set up in their home for a short stay and some friends of the neighbor’s come to visit. Things go south quickly. The film starts out with a German family driving through the country pulling a sailboat. Anna, Georg (Ulrich Mühe from The Lives of Others), little Georg, and Rolfi the dog. They’re playing a game where you guess which song the other is playing on the CD player in the car. It’s mainly classical music, but when they roll the opening credits, there’s this insane…

  • Overthinking TCM’s Recent Programming

    Cliff Aliperti
    28 Jan 2012 | 2:46 am
    Keeping a careful eye on thingsI'd been feeling a little let down by TCM lately. I always get this way this time of year when we're facing my least favorite TCM promotion, 31 Days of Oscar. While not a fan I completely understand the appeal of 31 Days of Oscar. And while I'm sure to groan once or twice in the coming weeks, publicly, of course, it's really not such a terrible thing to suffer. Honestly, I'm a brat about it, but what do you expect when TCM spends so much time spoiling me with so many hidden gems throughout the rest of the year. I guess that's my main gripe about 31 Days of…

    26 Jan 2012 | 10:27 pm
    I picked this up over the summer with patient plans of waiting to offer it for sale when we got close to Valentine's Day. Of course I completely forgot about it. The only reason I'm sharing the image with you today instead of some time years in the future is because I luckily happened upon it towards the top of a pile of miscellaneous collectibles earlier today! (I love piles of miscellaneous collectibles!) This Valentine dates to the mid-1930's. It stands 5-1/2 inches tall and is 4 inches wide at the base. On card stock, this vibrantly colored vintage die cut greeting card is a card within a…

The new gallery features the 12 face cards from the 1933 Thomas De La Rue Films Stars I deck of playing cards featuring all MGM stars!

  • Piccadilly Jim (1936) Starring Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans

    Cliff Aliperti
    25 Jan 2012 | 5:16 am
    Piccadilly Jim based upon the P.G. Wodehouse novel of the same name is a 1936 release from MGM featuring Robert Montgomery in the title role with a mostly strong supporting cast behind him. TCM's website lists versions with five different running times, between 87 and 100 minutes. I appear to have viewed the middle most of those with my version from TCM's most recent airing clocking in at 95 minutes. I'm left to wonder both what I missed and what I saw that others have missed. Robert Montgomery plays James Crocker, Jr., an American living and working in England as a caricaturist under the…

    As if part of some elaborate prank hatched by Jim Halpert, NBC is developing a spin-off of “The Office” centered around perpetual Dunder-Mifflin assistant regional manager Dwight Schrute, played by Rainn Wilson on the U.S. version for eight seasons. Deadline reports the network is preparing the concept for a mid-season 2013 launch and will tease the potential spinoff series in an episode later this season set on Schrute Farms. Dwight’s family beet farm/bed-and-breakfast has been a regular source of material for the comedy show, and the new series would focus on…

  • Man on a Ledge Review

    Jeff Leins
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:00 am
    In the opening minutes of Asger Leth’s Man on a Ledge, Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) checks into the Roosevelt Hotel, climbs out his window, and stands on the ledge outside. A few pedestrians spot him and soon the TV cameras arrive, but all anyone knows at first is there is a man on a ledge. It’s more complex than that, but it’s a simple concept for a movie. One that immediately brings to mind other confined thrillers like Phone Booth, Panic Room, or recently, the under-appreciated Buried. The key is to allow the audience to put themselves in the fixed character’s…

    Yesterday’s announcement of the 2012 Academy Award nominations sparked the usual chatter. The annual dissection of the lists to find the surprises and snubs, a tradition I enjoy. The Oscar pundits tallying up their correct predictions (while I laugh and count the told-you-so comments). The lofty few who have risen above the awards, proclaiming that “the movies are all that matter,” as if we’ve forgotten. The typically canned reactions from the nominees’ publicists. It’s the Super Bowl of awards shows for people who care about that sort of thing. I do, for…

    27 Jan 2012 | 5:20 pm
    The first novel in Janet Evanovich’s bestselling Stephanie Plum series has been in development as a film for nearly 20 years, which is apparently how long it took for everything to turn out horribly wrong. The casting of Katherine Heigl, one of the least-gritty actresses on the planet, as rough-and-tumble Stephanie Plum, a laid-off lingerie saleswoman who discovers a surprising aptitude for bounty hunting, isn’t the biggest problem with One For The Money, but it’s a good place to start. As concessions to her blue-collar character, Heigl drops her G’s and throws in the occasional nasal…

It’s a Kaufman reunion for both, with each actress scoring an Oscar nomination for her role in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, respectively, meaning they kinda owe him. And yes, that includes submitting to singing, as well as any of the other bizarre tangents Kaufman’s screenplay diverges into (and which you…

  • Film: Newswire: Have you considered that Michael Fassbender's penis may have cost him an Oscar nomination?

    27 Jan 2012 | 10:30 am
    Inexplicably overlooked in the discussion of which deserving actors failed to receive Oscar nominations and what sort of fun party they might have is this crucial determinant: Did those actors have giant penises? In the cases of Albert Brooks and Tilda Swinton, you have only the rainbow-colored reaches of your imagination, but as for Shame’s Michael Fassbender, well, his penis is both in your face and on the lips of George Clooney. And as this Los Angeles Times article hypothesizes, as with so many of us, it simply became impossible for Academy members to concentrate on the nuances of ...

    27 Jan 2012 | 10:15 am
    Cult weirdoes Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim define their small-screen oeuvre with delirious excess and unrepentant weirdness, but their cult television shows look positively austere compared to their cinematic directorial and starring debut, Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie. The film’s ramshackle plot finds a slicked-up Tim & Eric spending $1 billion on a “film” that doesn’t stand a chance of recouping its budget, especially given its three-minute run time. This naturally enrages the heads of a sinister multinational corporation run by a perpetually apoplectic Robert Loggia. Tim…

    25 Jan 2012 | 4:55 pm
    The Strange Ones,  also known as Deux inconnus, is a 2011 short film directed by Christopher Radcliff and Lauren Wolkstein. True to its title -- the film is quite strange. It starts like a road movie and as the story develops transforms into suspense. Or, better said, it might transform into suspense if you let the stereo-typical soundtrack lead you in that direction.  There are but three characters in the film -- a man and a boy who travel to an unknown destination and a young woman who they encounter in a motel swimming pool.There is not much more than that, though there are some subtle…

    Depending on your perspective, Real Steel could be considered one of the most surprising films of 2011. It’s a film that is a very loose interpretation of a Richard Matheson short story wherein robots have replaced humans in the boxing ring in an all too proximate future.However, if one looks at the film’s trailers, it’s clear the intended effect the film is supposed to have and the genre it’s supposed to occupy: it’s a crowd-pleasing action/drama that’s fun for the whole family. That’s not an easy feat to pull off, especially considering the fact…

    Courtney Howard

  • Trailer: LOCKOUT Has The Lockdown On Sci-fi Action Thrills

    Courtney Howard
    27 Jan 2012 | 7:01 pm
    Sure the new full length trailer for the sci-fi action thriller LOCKOUT may not be as strong as the wise-cracking teaser we saw just a few months ago. However, the longer look only serves to confirm that we’re still totally excited about this film. While not an entirely original idea (shades of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK are at play here), it looks like fun. Guy Pearce and a sassy attitude?! We’re all in! LOCKOUT follows a falsely convicted ex- government agent (Guy Pearce, MEMENTO), whose one chance at obtaining freedom lies in the dangerous mission of rescuing the President’s daughter…

  • Spielberg Directing Moses Epic

    Bill Melidoneas
    27 Jan 2012 | 9:57 am
    Deadline Hollywood says Steven Spielberg is nearing a deal to direct a Moses epic / biopic for Warner Bros with a working title of Gods and Kings which I highly doubt will be the title for the film. It is a tall order taking on Moses and not seeming like it’s a remake of The Ten Commandments which even for Spielberg will be too much. But WB’s wants him to direct a grittier version of Biblical Moses showing him as a warrior. WB’s would be targeting a 2013 production start with a potential 2014 release date that should definitely be an Oscar contender for 2014. Described as a…

  • REVIEW – MAN ON A LEDGE

    Courtney Howard
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:48 am
      MAN ON A LEDGE Directed by: Asger Leth Written by: Pablo F. Fenjves Starring: Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Ed Harris, Jamie Bell, Anthony Mackie, Genesis Rodriguez, Ed Harris, Titus Welliver, and Kyra Sedgewick The title just about says it all. There’s a man and he’s on a ledge. However, unlike what the studio would like you to believe, there’s not that much more to the story. This is a superficial non-thriller that defies both logic and common sense. And sadly, not even in a fun entertaining way. Our story begins with a man renting a room at New York City’s swanky…

    THE GREY Directed by: Joe Carnahan Written by: Joe Carnahan & Ian Mackenzie Jeffers Starring: Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie, and James Badge Dale I’ve got a confession to make: I’ve never been Director Joe Carnahan’s biggest champion. After his phenomenal debut with NARC, he’s been on a dizzying spiral of A.D.D. challenged films. SMOKIN’ ACES and A-TEAM were so unnecessarily frenetic, loud and in your face, they are virtually unwatchable (even with the promise of my third husband Bradley Cooper’s abs). However, all has…

    That lovable rascal Ferris Bueller hasn’t been really up to much since 1986 but just yesterday the internet was treated to a youtube video of that once upon a time highschool slacker. In what seems to be a fancy hotel and dressed in a comfortable looking bathrobe, Ferris throws open the curtains and asks the question “How can I handle work on a day like today?”. The video than cuts to a ’2.5.12′ message (for you nerds who don’t really follow sports that’s Super Bowl Sunday). Hmmmmmm…I wonder what that windy city rogue has in store for us……

  • First Run Copies of Resident Evil ‘Revelaitons’ to Include Limited Edition Spelling Error

    Chris Del Castillo

    Either Capcom’s spell checker took the day off, or “REVELAITONS” is a whole new game. This is a pretty amusing accident. It’s rare, but it’s something we haven’t seen before (anyone else remember the IGN watermark in the Nintendo Wii’s Okami insert?). Capcom caught wind of the mistake and has gone on to fix the problem, but they won’t be able to get to the ones already shipped out. That means that all the first run copies of Resident Evil Revelations for the U.S. will look like the picture above, and Capcom will have a fix for everyone who buys…

    Lost cast member and Real Steel love interest Evangeline Lilly is interviewed in the new ish of Entertainment Weekly, and she's asked to talk about her Elvish character in the two Hobbit movies. As Peter Jackson is up to his beard in Middle-earth scenes, Lilly answered EW's questions about her warrior character, Tauriel, and how she fits into the all-male group that goes adventuring. The character is more in the second Hobbit movie (subtitled There and Back Again) and only in a small part in the first film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

If this report is accurate, the magic number is 15 million -- as in dollars, each, to star in the sequel. Warner Bros. is reportedly in talks with each man to lock them in for Hangover III. The studio wants director shooting the movie this summer. This time the shooting schedule may be easier for everyone as the events in the new movie take place in L.A.

    There was once a time when nobody knew what a Wookiee was. Before the first Star Wars movie exploded onto the public’s consciousness in May 1977 it was a completely different time for fans of movies and sci-fi. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws had only been released the year before and had unexpectedly become the first modern age box office hit. Hollywood hadn’t yet realized that it was about to enter the era of the summer blockbuster and didn’t yet know audiences were craving imaginative cinematic experiences to distant galaxies and high adventure. Back then, Star Wars was an…

    There are just not enough gorgeous coffee table hardcover books that feature Christopher Lee about to sink his Dracula fangs into a beautiful sleeping woman. The Hammer Vault is the first to my knowledge that features this painted visage on its cover, which is in fact a reproduction of the movie poster artwork for Hammer Films’ 1957 release of Dracula, which starred Lee in his first role of many as the Count. At 176 pages, The Hammer Vault is a recollection and celebration of the films produced by this iconic British movie company. While it’s not a complete itinerary of all of…

    [Beware of story spoilers for the Paranormal Activity movie franchise in the following article!] The first surprise of Paranormal Activity 2 – well, beside from its very existence, which invoked truly horrifying flashbacks to Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 – was its premise.  Rather than taking the painfully easy and decidedly Hollywood route of simply following a brand-new couple being haunted by a brand-new demon, the filmmakers opted to instead utilize what toys were left them in original writer/director Oren Peli’s sandbox, keeping the paranormal activities in the…

  • Review: You Won’t Care Much for This ‘Man on a Ledge’

    Sam Fragoso
    27 Jan 2012 | 6:50 pm
    Man on a Ledge is indeed about a person who is on a ledge, for a majority of the film’s 102-minute duration. If the previous sentence isn’t enough of a warning – at least in terms of the amount of silliness that predictably follows – then I can’t quite help you. We begin and end with Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington), an ex-cop who was sentenced to prison after allegedly stealing a million-dollar diamond from a wealthy, though dubious business man (aren’t they all?) named David Englander (Ed Harris). Cassidy, after his father supposedly dies, escapes from law enforcement at…

Unfolding much like the classic tale, this movie stars Lily Collins as Snow White, an orphan in line for the throne who is banished to the woods by the Evil Queen (Julia Roberts) when she captures the attention of a charming prince (Armie Hammer). There, she is rescued by a band of dwarves who…

    It was another early morning in Park City and, nine days into the festival, Total Film was in urgent need of a pick-me-up.Luckily, we got one in the shape of Celeste And Jesse Forever, a sort of romcom-in-reverse that follows the eponymous Celeste and Jesse (I Love You Man’s Rashida Jones and Hot Rod’s Andy Samberg), a married couple who’ve separated but remain best friends, as they struggle to get out of their comfortable routine and move on.Sweet, slick and very, very funny, the film proved to be a breezy breath of fresh air after eight days of solid filmgoing.Jones (who…

  • New trailer for Lockout

    27 Jan 2012 | 1:31 pm
    A new trailer has been released for sci-fi thriller Lockout, and it’s more than a little bit reminiscent of Kurt Russell actioner Escape From New York.In it, Guy Pearce plays Snow, a tough-as-nails badass recruited by the President to rescue his daughter (Maggie Grace) from a deep-space prison. Unfortunately for Snow, it won’t be as easy as all that, as the inmates have taken over the asylum.Check out the new trailer below… From the looks of the above, Lockout has got a healthy amount of B-movie silliness about it, and Pearce is a great fit for the reluctant hero.

    It seems that reports on The Goon’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Earlier this week Paul Giamatti, who voices Franky in The Goon, gave a few details about the progress of the movie, saying that the likelihood that the movie would get maid was slim the none. But creator Eric Powell has come out to say that Giamatti’s comments on the death of The Goon project was too quick and went directly to his blog to comment on the issue writing that “THE GOON FILM IS STILL ON THE TABLE,” and Giamatti and Fincher have since weighed in as well. Here are Powell’s words: David Fincher and…

By giving the cast of Bridesmaids the opportunity to present the award itself.

It’s not as if my taste is that weird, or at least I do not think so, but I seem to go for the well choreographed fights more than anything. Not that I’m looking at it as a dancer would, heaven forbid, but what I mean by well choreographed is that it’s believable, it’s not one fighter telegraphing to the other what he’s about to try, the blocks are genuine if you know what I mean? The other reason that I might especially like one movie best is that…

Not because the show isn't awesome. More because the creators of the show went through a divorce (Courteney Cox and David Arquette). Anyways, I am happy to announce that the show will be back and I am sure it will be better than ever!

    A year older (literally, as of yesterday), but none the wiser, for here I am once again predicting those awards that are handed out in a ceremony that has (luckily) become a notorious one-man show courtesy of that comic genius called Ricky Gervais. Admittedly, the list of films in this year's selection does not include, for all its dull predictability, anything to make us throw up our hands in horror...or joy, depending on how seriously one takes these things. In other words, there's no The Tourist this year, although Angelina is back in the line-up at her most cosmopolitan: in the Foreign…

Born to show business families, they both enjoyed successful careers as child actresses, then went on to work with some of the world's most acclaimed filmmakers (Delpy with Bernard Tavernier, Agnieszka Holland or Krzysztof Kieslowski; Polley, with Atom Egoyan or David Cronenberg) before making up their minds to write and direct their own movies and gaining international…

    The key to the success of any film ascribed to the cross-dressing subgenre is whether the central performance is able to create an autonomous character who can live beyond the limitations of the gender gimmick. Sadly, Glenn Close's commendable effort to inhabit the character of Albert Nobbs, a woman dressed as a man to make a living as a waiter in 19th Century Ireland, completely fails to do so, for it has nothing more going for it than its gimmick. Not once during the almost two hours of this overlong, stagy rendering of George Moore's short story does the viewer (at least the one writing…

    I'm a little tied up here in the middle of a major film festival, but in less than one hour Emmys are gonna start to be handed out and I can't miss my annual chance to go out on a limb with my predictions, get everything wrong and don't give a damn about it. Actually, my interest in this year's Emmy race died out on September 10 when the Creative Arts Section of the awards was officially presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. That section includes the Guest Performance by an Actress in a Drama Series, where Randee Heller was up for an award for her memorable role of Mrs.

    Imitation of Life
    17 Sep 2011 | 6:28 pm
    I've been merely 24 hours in San Sebastian but I'd swear I've spent here all my life. I arrived yesterday too late for the morning press screening of Intruders, opening film of the Official Selection, but just in time for the press conference, in which a self-assured Juan Carlos Fresnadillo defended his film surrounded by his cast, led by an irresistibly charming Clive Owen. There's no much to say here. Rumour quickly spread that Intruders is a disappointment, and judging by the banalities we heard during the press conference, it's probably true.

    It’s pretty difficult to look passed the end of a legendary trilogy when The Dark Knight Rises is released next summer.  Likewise, 4 larger than life heroes will assemble after years of hype.  And how can you ignore a hero like Spider-Man returning to the screen?  Today, I attempt to put aside the Bats, Spiders and Avengers to see what else the 2012 summer movie season has to offer.  There are a couple picks that could go either way but I’ve got high hopes nonetheless. 5.

The movie focuses on indie game developers and their passion for video games and video game design. I write about passion on this site often.  I don’t feel normal unless I have some kind of creative project to work on everyday.  Whether it’s a new screenplay, a blog post, an image in photoshop or a big broadcast at work, I desperately need to feel creative everyday.  It’s that passion that drives me every morning when I skip…

Before you start assuming I’m somehow FOR the passing of the bills (in their current forms anyway) let me settle your minds. I’m not.

    When people talk about animation, they are often pulled to two very distinct ends of the spectrum: either animation is an amazing and reverential art form, or cartoons are just for kids. But when one walks into The Chuck Jones Experience, a unique interactive exhibit dedicated to one of the masters of animated films, I was captivated by the chronicles of an amazingly talent animator, and dizzy with the memories of antics from a certain rabbit and duck. In other words, I was really excited. As a writer, I occasionally get to visit some exciting venues and meet celebrities, but Chuck Jones is…

So they’re going to do Thor 2 and as soon as Thor has wrapped, they’ll do Cap 2. Hopefully right after that, we’ll jump into Nick Fury because that’s the one I’m looking forward to more than anything.” While this is…

Made almost entirely with nonprofessional actors, the film is a picaresque sequence of moments in the lives of simple people being their quirky selves.

    Roger Corman may be the most prolific film producer of all time. Though, in the over 300 hundred films he’s written/produced/directed in his career, you wouldn’t tell, as most have been downright terrible. But as writer/director Alex Stapleton explores in his latest documentary Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, the quality of his work isn’t where his legend lives, but rather in his work ethic and legacy. Indeed, Corman’s World not only serves as a fitting and fascinating tribute to the prolific film producer, but also as an introduction to his unconventional and…

  • 2011 in Review: The 10 Best Films of the Year

    Matt Cohen
    28 Dec 2011 | 1:36 pm
    I’m hesitant to even publish this list in its current standing,  because I know in about a week I’ll probably have changed my mind again. 2011 provided such a rich crop of magnificent films that compiling this list and forcing myself to rank these films proved to be a much more challenging and painstaking task than I anticipated. Indeed, with such a strong crop of films this year, many films that were certainly list-worthy just didn’t rank up with some of the stronger ones of the year. Consider these the “runner-ups,” or “honorable mentions,” though I’m confident had they…

    Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper in The Hangover Part II While fans of The Hangover movie rushed to see The Hangover Part II, a film that has grossed close to $600 million worldwide, one fashion luxury brand is screaming foul play. WWD is reporting that Louis Vuitton is suing Warner Bros. for the appearance of a fake “LV” bag in the film. The fake “LV” bag in question was worn by Zach Galifianakis’s character “Alan” who carried the “LVM” decorated bag in an airport scene in which he says to his costar, “Careful, that is… a Louis Vuitton” (pronouncing Louis with the…

    Reuniting the screenwriter and director (Diablo Cody  and Jason Reitman) of the quirky, beloved Juno, Young Adult once more finds Cody exploring themes of immature characters dealing with situations far more mature than they’re capable of handling. Since Juno, Cody has carved out a neat little niche for herself as one of the few recognizable and distinctive screenwriters working today. With inventive, nuanced dialect and universal, yet intensely personal themes explored at a macro level, Cody’s work is nearly as identifiable as any of today’s most distinguishable auteurs. Yet with…

    Roger Ebert thinks Tilda Swinton ("We Need to Talk About Kevin") or Vera Farmiga ("Higher Ground") deserved Meryl Streep's Best Actress slot: "Streep, of course, is a paragon. Her impersonation of Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady' was so uncanny she could have given a speech on the BBC and fooled a lot of people. But it wasn't a very good film and didn't make adequate use of her as a resource. In my review, I used a happy turn of phrase: She was all dressed up with nowhere to go. Nominating Miss Streep seems to have become an annual ritual for…

    Last year, Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech") pulled off an upset when he bested critics' darling David Fincher ("The Social Network") for the Directors Guild of America prize; he then went on to win the Academy Award as well. The winner of the DGA award has repeated at the Oscar every year since these kudos began in 1948 with just six exceptions. The most recent of those was in 2002 when Rob Marshall ("Chicago") won the DGA but lost the Oscar to Roman Polanski ("The Pianist").

    sitemail@goldderby.com

    The top Oscar race has now been whittled down to nine films. To win Best Picture, a film usually needs  to be recognized across the various branches; this year's lineup racked up 42 other nominations. Then there are the bellwether categories. A film hasn’t won Best Picture without a directing nomination since “Driving Miss Daisy” in 1989. And no film has won Best Picture without an editing nomination since “Ordinary People” in 1980. A screenplay nomination and recognition from the large acting branch are also big boosts. Let’s have a look at…

  • Red Tails (2012)

    David DeMoss

    Nice outfits. Confession time, everyone. Time to let you all know that, despite barely mentioned it, I’ve spent the last seven years of my life dreading the release of Red Tails. This dramatization of the Tuskegee Airman story – the story of an all-black unit of fighter pilots trained to fly and fight for their country at the eponymous air field in central Alabama –  is one of the many, many, many passion projects George Lucas shelved back in the 90s so he could focus on making…well…you know…those movies. But unlike every other reformed Lucasfilm fan in existence, my…

    Well, this is embarrassing. I purposefully avoided X-Men: First Class for a variety of reasons I hope I’ve explained in past X-reviews. Come to find out, not only is it better than it has any right to be, not only is it easily the best X-Men movie of the series…for me, it’s also the best superhero movie of Summer 2011. But after eleven years and four increasingly crappy movies, can you blame me for being skittish? No. Of course you can’t. Even the so-called “good” X-movies are lousy with basic plot and story problems everyone ignored at the time because we…

Japanese audiences knew this as Kaiju-shima no Kessen Gojira no Musuko. Obviously its American distributor changed the title to force a parallel with King Kong’s 1933 shameless cash-in sequel (which I like sooo much I rarely even speak its name). Nowadays, after decades of watching this film on television, there’s no way John Q. Public would ever pick up a copy of Monster Island’s Decisive Battle: Godzilla’s Son. What the fuck…

So it's really a challenging path because I know so much about the indie side of the business. Because I grew up in it. It's like I'm back in junior high here at Sundance.

    Critics will argue over whether or not Joe Carnahan’s latest, The Grey (currently holding at 76 percent at Rotten Tomatoes), succeeds as the latest nature-as-killer yarn to hit the action genre, but it’s worth taking a closer look at what Joe Carnahan is attempting beyond the survivalist thrills and chills. In the age of the metrosexual, and in an industry inundated with juvenile comedies and mind-numbing blockbusters, what does this Liam Neeson vs. the wolves pics have to say about modern masculinity?

The story basically runs like this – To help win the war, the Pentagon brass has no choice but to consider untested African-American pilots from the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are about to be shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage and take to the skies to fight for their country against the Nazis.

The Chinese Communist Party has been trying to block this station for years now, since it's one of the few major Chinese media that refuses to censor its content. Although they're blocked in Mainland China, they broadcast in with satellites. The timing of the incident aligns well with…

    Hero or villain? Benedict Cumberbatch of the BBC's excellent Sherlock is a welcome addition to the Star Trek sequel. Fans of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot have been eagerly waiting to find out who will be the villain in its follow-up. Since it was revealed recently that Brit actor Benedict Cumberbatch—who has plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC’s fabulous updated version of the Great Detective stories—would be in the upcoming film, there has been speculation that he would be filling the bad guy role. But maybe not. Even Cumberbatch himself is apparently not sure what his role…

  • Fox Gives More Teasing Hints about Prometheus

    It seems that 20th Century Fox isn't going to give us a heads-up on the plot of Prometheus. Six months is a long time to sustain intrigue but the makers of Prometheus are doing their best. Unless you were on Mars you will know that 20th Century Fox released the first official trailer for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi chiller just before Christmas. The studio have also tormented us with a few tantalizing still images. This past weekend they feed the press another puzzling picture from Scott’s much-anticipated return to genre filmmaking and the Alien universe. Initially published in the…

    Daniel Craig says that the script for 'Skyfall', the next Bond film, is better than the one for 'Casino Royale'. His latest film is the David Fincher-directed The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but Daniel Craig is already filming the next Bond movie, Skyfall. And the actor says the script is better than the one for Casino Royale, which convinced him to play the British secret agent in the first place. In an interview with Time Out London, Craig reveals that he and Marc Forster, director of the scorned Quantum of Solace, were forced to develop a script because the writers’…

  • First Poster For Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ Revealed

    Even without the tag line – “The search for our beginning could lead to our end.” – the first poster for Ridley Scott’s next film, Prometheus, would be unnerving. It’s got a massive head sunk in shadows that feels like something off Easter Island, being illuminated by the beam of a flashlight being carried by a single figure (we guess a woman, given the curvy hips). The film, being released on June 8, 2012, stars Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Patrick Wilson. It’s the tale of a group of scientists and explorers…
