How The Biscuit Rig Makes Your Favorite Car Chases (and Crashes) a Reality
1 hour ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Robert Nagle was still racing cars professionally when he saw Ronin for the first time. The Euro-set chases in the 1998 Robert De Niro thriller were a massive undertaking that involved over 300 stunt professionals and would go on to become lionized as the best of all time. Like most, Bullitt was a favorite from his childhood, but Nagle was awed by what the Ronin team accomplished with a few Peugeots and the tunnels of Paris. “It’s the most realistic. They really sold the speed, had some really great drivers doing those pieces, and just the way they shot it, it came out spectacular. I walked away going, ‘How did they do that?’. I needed to figure out how they did some of those pieces because they were done so well.” Many of us had the same connection — a sense of wonder at the raw ability of the sequences to pummel adrenal glands marked by that natural, amateur »

Six Steps To Stardom: Remember When Bradley Cooper Asked Sean Penn A Question?
6 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bradley Cooper recently reflected on this purple patch in his career in a chat with the HuffPost, saying: "I feel very fortunate. This is a wonderful time in my life. No question about it. And I just wake up every day and make sure I enjoy the hell out of it."
It's understandable. In four short years, the Philadelphia-born star of 'The Hangover 3', in cinemas this week (you can read our Review here), and its lucrative predecessors has seen his status change from that of rom-com eye-candy to acting credibility, to rank him alongside peers such as Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio. An Oscar nod this year for 'Silver Linings Playbook' only confirmed that he has come a long way from the tousle-haired student nervously asking Sean Penn a question in The Actors' Studio (see video below). Here's how he's done it...

The Big Wedding – review
19 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Precious little joy is on offer about in a marriage comedy about divorced parents who must get back together for their son's big day
Weddings can often be occasions of trauma, as well as joy, and so it proves with this ensemble comedy. Well – minus the joy, that is. Adapted with tin ear and cack hands from a French farce, Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton star as divorced parents of adoptive son Ben Barnes. When he gets engaged to Amanda Seyfried (again playing a bride-to-be wrangling parents), he wants his birth mother to be at the nuptials. But she's a devout Catholic, and so De Niro and Keaton must pretend to still be married, despite his having shacked up with Susan Sarandon years back (a grisly early scene involves Keaton interrupting kitchen-table oral sex). Adding insult to injury are a subplot about sibling Topher Grace's unexplained vow of premarital chastity, »

Top Ten Perfect Biopic Casting Choices
23 May 2013 3:03 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Ah, the biopic. It’s one of the most revered and resilient genres of cinema past and present. The formula is simple: make a movie about a well-known public figure, preferably one with a checkered past, form your narrative around the tone of their upbringing (usually a dramatic one) and sell the film as a “revealing portrait of a man/woman we all know and love”. You’ll be blessed with awards and showered with praise.
However there is one very hard part: casting. When you’re dealing with an especially prolific subject, this is the part that can make or break your movie. Some have gotten this wrong, and some have gotten this very right – Michael Douglas’s turn as Liberace in Steven Soderbergh’s Behind the Candelabra is winning his best reviews in years.
Let’s take a look at some of the best biopic casting choices in film history. »

Claim To Fame
The former Miss Bogota catapulted to pan-regional renown as an MTV Latin America presenter at age 17. She also hosted one of Colombia’s highest rated shows this year, “Colombia’s Next Top Model,” which aired on broadcast network Caracol TV.
She’s already popular among U.S. Hispanic TV viewers for her roles in hit telenovelas and for co-hosting Univision’s 2009 music talent show “Viva el sueno!” (Long Live the Dream!). Guerra, 24, stars with Peter Facinelli and Sophia Myles in “Gallows Hill,” her first English-language pic, which Im Global is selling at Cannes.

Update: The mighty have fallen as Travolta and De Niro go straight to Blu-ray in Killing Season
22 May 2013 10:13 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Update: Reports have Killing Season getting a theatrical release on July 12th in "large markets" but without much other details and a release less than 2 months away, this is still quite a drop for both actors. There was a time, not very long ago, that a movie from the director of Ghost Rider and Daredevil, starring Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro and Academy Award Nominee John Travolta would have been a lock to get a wide theatrical release and at least a respectable box »

Hollywood's 13 Best Commencement Speeches
21 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Some of us just yawned and obsessed over the ticking of the clock during our far-too-long commencement speeches. Whatever maniac decided that so-and-so's wife's something or other who didn’t even graduate is equipped to send students off with a 30-minute diatribe on themselves is sorely mistaken. Just dole out the degrees already and call a day a day, right, kids? Unless ...
You know, every so often schools are able to wrangle in someone actually interesting to deliver a few notes of wisdom — some more often than others (cough Harvard cough). Even better, once in a while they're our very shiniest movie stars who make lots of funnies and deliver all the feels and suddenly the speeches don't seem so bad.
Here's a tip-o'-the-grad cap to whoever lined up these 13 awesome movie star speeches. Fair warning: This may enhance the bore factor of your regular, non-famous speaker. Sorry 'bout that. »

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness an all star cast caught in various compromising positions over one chaotic wedding weekend.

Favourite Movie Soundtracks - Goodfellas

Brogan Morris on his favourite movie soundtrack....
Picking a best of anything always causes me more anxiety than it should – it’s my personal favourite of something, and so what? Every film fan’s got one. But it feels like ‘favourite movie soundtrack’ is one I have to get absolutely right.
There are so, so many; Almost Famous appeals to the long-hair within me, nostalgic for the 70s (a decade I never actually saw) and its rock decadence; Marie Antoinette speaks to the sulky little indie kid side of me, complete as Sofia Coppola’s picture is with juicy new wave and post-punk tunes; and there’s always O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the country ‘n’ bluegrass on that being damn near perfect. Then I remember Quentin Tarantino, and I go tumbling down a rabbit hole after seven films (not Death Proof) with wonderfully eclectic soundtracks.
Goodfellas tops all of them, »

Perfect Father’s Day Gift: Ultimate Gangster Collection — Contemporary

Ultimate Gangster Collection — Contemporary
Due Out: May 21, 2013
The “Ultimate Gangster Collection: Classics“ and “Ultimate Gangster Collection: Contemporary” are available on Blu-ray 5/21
Who’S It For?
My wife hasn’t seen Mean Streets, The Untouchables, Goodfellas or Heat. So while I would normally say this is the perfect gift for guys on Father’s Day, it’s really perfect for my wife. These are movies that must be seen by every adult. Not only to they showcase how the ugly side of society has evolved, but it’s also the evolution of gangster crime. Every one of these films is brilliant, and yes, I’m including The Departed. Jack Nicholson’s performance has someone gotten a bad rap. I’m convinced if it wasn’t for Martin Scorsese zooming in on the rat at the very end, everyone would still worship this film. »

20 May 2013 2:18 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Jennifer Lawrence isn't the only actor undergoing a major makeover for David O. Russell's new movie. Christian Bale looks unrecognizable following his transformation for "American Hustle," and a new image of the actor shows that he's gained a good deal of weight, grown a lot of facial hair and shaving his head completely for the film.

When Bale was last seen on the set of the upcoming historical thriller, he was sporting a comb over and a pair of red-tinted Aviator sunglasses. His latest look, which can be seen in the insert above, was snapped when he was photographed at Lax over the weekend. It seems his character has ditched his hair entirely in the film.

Cannes 2013: 'Blood Ties' is an authentic '70s-set crime movie that gives Clive Owen his best role in years
20 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When film directors stage a scene from the mid-1970s, we all know how it’s done: They’ll clear everything out of a shot — commercial signage, etc. — that violates the period, and then they’ll plunk down a bunch of 1970s parked cars. Yet what they end up with still doesn’t usually look like the period — it looks prefab — and watching Blood Ties, a rivetingly scuzzy and authentic New York cops-and-crime drama (it’s set in 1974), starring Clive Owen as a hard case who has just gotten out of prison and Billy Crudup as his straight-arrow policeman brother, »

L.A. Screenings: The Upfronts At a Glance

20th Century Fox TV
Robin Williams’ biggest commitment to series television since the days of “Mork & Mindy” highlights a 20th TV slate that is deep, even if not necessarily brimming with international star appeal.
Williams is teaming with another recognizable face, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in the single-cam, father-daughter workplace comedy “The Crazy Ones,” from the pen of a scribe with no small amount of global cachet himself: David E. Kelley.
Kelley’s star Stateside hasn’t shined quite as brightly of late — “Harry’s Law” (NBC) lasted only two seasons, while “Monday Mornings” (TNT) didn’t make it past one, and half-hour isn’t exactly where the “Picket Fences” and “Ally McBeal” creator made his bones, but a series starring Williams in an accessible setting is filled with worldwide potential.
A slam dunk for interest is the limited-series return of Kiefer Sutherland in “24: Live Another Day.” The condensed format »
