Hollywood's 13 Best Commencement Speeches
13 hours ago | 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. »

13 hours ago | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to witness an all star cast caught in various compromising positions over one chaotic wedding weekend. Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton play Don and Ellie, a long-divorced couple whose adopted son (Ben Barnes) asks them to pretend to be married to keep his Catholic biological mother happy when she arrives from Colombia for his big day with Missy (Amanda Seyfried). The roguish Don has no good reason to refuse. »
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
18 hours ago | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
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. »

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
20 May 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
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 »

19 May 2013 12:33 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Im Global topper Stuart Ford knows how to make a splash with Martin Scorsese: Put him on a boat.
The director mingled at one end of Emmett/Furla’s yacht party on Thursday to promote “Silence,” Scorsese’s long-gestating passion project that Im Global is shopping at Cannes. Arguably the market’s highest-profile title, Ford has been putting Scorsese’s star power to work: The helmer spoke at a buyers-only presentation on Wednesday and has been hosting private Q&As with potential bidders.

Ford’s intensely focused approach is indicative of what it’s taken to make Im Global one of the most muscular sales agencies working today. “Silence” may lead to Ford’s involvement in another Scorsese project, “The Irishman,” in which Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are attached to star.

The Great Gatsby | Beware Of Mr Baker | Fast And Furious 6 | The Stoker | The Liability | Rangeelay
The Great Gatsby (12A)
(Baz Luhrmann, 2013, Us) Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki. 143 mins
No one's disputing that Luhrmann can put on a show, but can he tell a story? In a way, F Scott Fitzgerald's 1920s parable is a perfect fit: a study of surfaces and seduction and the hollowness of the wealthy. The hedonism and vulgarity are ravishing to behold and the hand-tinted-photo aesthetic is gorgeous. When the fireworks die down, however, that artificiality works against the romantic tragedy, and the characters are too flat to really stir any great emotions. Maybe that's the point.
Beware Of Mr Baker (15)
(Jay Bulger, 2012, Us) 92 mins
When it comes to great rock bio-doc material, Ginger Baker doesn't disappoint on any front: prodigious talent, eventful career (Cream, Blind Faith and Fela Kuti »

New JFK Conspiracy Film with DiCaprio, De Niro and David O. Russell
17 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Another movie based on a conspiracy behind the assassination President John F. Kennedy is going into development. The movie will be called Legacy of Secrecy, and it will be written and directed by David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook).
The movie is being set up at Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company by his dad George DiCaprio. Apparently, the movie will "blow the lid off of what really happened in Dallas in November 1963." It's looking like DiCaprio and Robert De Niro could star in the film as well. The movie is based on a book of the same name written by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann.
The news comes from showbiz411, who says it follows "the saga of FBI informant Jack Laningham. DeNiro would play Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello, who confided to Langingham that he ordered the hit on Kennedy. Marcello died in 1993. But back during the days following the assassination, »

'Last Vegas' trailer: 'The Hangover' on Geritol
17 May 2013 2:11 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
If you've ever wondered what "The Hangover" might look like if all the characters were 65+, wonder no further. The new trailer for "Last Vegas" is all you need.
In the new film, Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline star as four lifelong best friends who travel to Las Vegas to celebrate the engagement of the group's sworn bachelor (Douglas). Their goal? To stop acting their age and relive their glory days.
The trailer might read a little "Old Dogs," but the cast here is much more capable than the one in that stinker. Freeman's bit at the end about the effects of Red Bull vodkas is worth the price of admission alone.
Take a look at the trailer above. "Last Vegas" hits theaters November 1, 2013. »

New Studio, Higher Rebates Boost Film Production in France
17 May 2013 11:40 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
France is coming off a year overshadowed by a lack of big-budget U.S. shoots. Despite this drought, Gallic player Luc Besson has managed to feed the pipeline of his 9-month-old brainchild, the Cite du Cinema studio complex outside Paris, with two major movies from his own film factory EuropaCorp: “Malavita,” a crime thriller toplining Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, which he helmed; and the McG-directed “The Days to Kill,” toplining Kevin Costner and Amber Heard.
Along with these, Cite hosted Fred Cavaye’s action-packed thriller “Mea Culpa,” produced by Lgm and Gaumont; and Sony Pictures Animation’s live-action/CGI hybrid Smurfs 2.
The studio, which is co-owned by facilities provider Euro Media France and operated by subsid Transpamedia, has a lot going for it: top-notched infrastructure and services, a convenient location (a few miles from Charles de Gaulle airport and a 10-minute drive from Paris), an on-site film school, »

David O. Russell Bringing Us Another JFK Conspiracy Thriller With DiCaprio & DeNiro
17 May 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The phase “Like Buses” is an often overused expression, certainly here in the UK. However, it must definitely apply in this case as The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell is the latest filmmaker lining up conspiracy thriller centred on the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy. I’m a sucker for the fascinating subject, with Oliver Stone’s JFK right up in my own top 5 of all time.
David Mamet has recently cast Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett in modern-set, cloak and dagger thriller Blackbird, in which a woman, following her fathers death, discovers he may have been involved in the cover-up. There is also debut writer/director Peter Landesman’s Parkland, the recently completed all-star thriller (which includes James Badge Dale, Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti and Billy Bob Thornton) that looks at the chaotic aftermath of the tragic event.
Russell’s film will be based on the the non-fiction book, »
