Listen To The New Beck Song "Looking For A Sign" From 'Jeff Who Lives At Home' Plus More Music Film News
21 March 2012 8:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Where would we be without music in our favorite films? While some may rely mostly on score, the needle drop of a pop tune can be quite satisfying when paired with a memorable scene. There could be a few opportunities for this type of moment on the way thanks to some exciting music news that also concerns the film world.
While we’d still love to get our hands on the score by “Jeff Who Lives At Home” and “Cyrus” composer Michael Andrews, we’ll definitely settle for a new track from Beck from the former film. The Duplass’ latest film has helped give Beck fans a pretty stellar new track in “Looking For A Sign” that falls right between Mutations and Sea Change-era Beck, which is certainly a good thing. The mostly acoustic-driven track is also a step away from the work he did as Sex Bob-Omb on the »

23 High School Movies That Get The Passing Grade
15 March 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Considering it's where most of us (bar the weird home-schooled kids) spend our crucial formative years, where we have our first fights, our first loves, our first tentative steps into adulthood, it's no surprise that high school has long been a popular setting for movies. A range of genres (though generally leaning towards comedy) have taken place in those hallways, particularly from the 1980s onwards, when John Hughes, among others, made an entire career out of the lives and loves of 15-18 year olds.
The latest film to head back to class is "21 Jump Street" (review here) the big-screen reboot of the '80s TV show, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as youthful-looking cops who are sent back to high school in order to bust a drug-running ring. While you might assume this to be another lazy remake, you'd be very wrong, as Tatum, Hill, co-writer Michael Bacall, »

Looking back at Ridley Scott's Legend
29 February 2012 3:00 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Director Ridley Scott followed up Blade Runner with the fantastical whimsy of Legend. Michael looks back at Scott’s cult fantasy...
Hindsight is a strange gift. Geek history dictates that the 1980s were a heyday for the fantasy genre; however, few of the decade’s sword ‘n sorcery flicks were outright hits, and many barely made a comfortable profit. Indeed, nostalgia may enshrine the likes of Dark Crystal, Clash Of The Titans and Willow, but even the most successful only just cracked the domestic top 20 for their respective years.
Of the bunch, Ridley Scott’s Legend remains a particularly tricky case. On its theatrical release, it wasn’t just a box office failure, it was that terrible thing: a box office failure that, even after much pre-release tinkering by the studio, still bombed. Various cuts, endings, even soundtracks exist, but nothing that Universal changed attracted the desired audience. In 1985, Legend was pronounced dead on arrival, »

Matthew Broderick's Honda Super Bowl ad hits the Web. Meh.
30 January 2012 10:11 AM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Life moves pretty fast. Or so said Matthew Broderick in the now iconic 1986 John Hughes movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." And he repeats the line in his new not-likely-to-be-iconic 2011 Honda Cr-v Super Bowl ad.
The concept: An updated homage to Bueller, the impish high school skipper who faked a sick day to do a bunch of fun stuff in and around Chicago with his girlfriend and depressive pal. It should work, but on the first viewing it comes off as half-hearted.
Broderick, who is now 49 and far from impish, pretty much (no pun intended) phones in his performance. And although we get the super-familiar Ferris Bueller theme -- Yello's "Oh Yeah" -- we don't get much else by way of nostalgic payoff. Without Mia Sara, Alan Ruck, Jennifer Grey or even Charlie Sheen -- Broderick comes off as kind of a pathetic lonely middle-aged guy who is desperately trying to recapture his youth. »

30 January 2012 8:32 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
As to not upset hardcore John Hughes fans who might see it as an unwanted blight on the man's legacy, Honda's Super Bowl Xlvi TV spot finds actor Matthew Broderick taking the day off from shooting his latest film to partake in a few extracurricular activities, proving that he is more like his 1986 alter ego than anyone else he has ever played. This is instead of reprising the character of Ferris himself. To enjoy the Ferris Bueller's Day Off commercial, which is titled Matthew Broderick's Day Off, click on the clip below.

Watch Matthew Broderick In Full-Length Ferris Bueller Super Bowl Commerical (Video)
30 January 2012 7:31 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Internet moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you'd miss things...like the complete Ferris Bueller-inspired Honda commercial that will air during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The spot -- which was teased last week with a 10-second clip, before sources confirmed that it was a coming commercial for Honda -- features Matthew Broderick as himself, embracing the hooky-playing traits he displayed as the titular truant in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
From the familiar tones of Yellow's "Oh Yeah" to more "Ferris Bueller" easter eggs than you can shake a stick at -- hey, Grace reference at 0:54! -- you'll probably want to watch the Todd Phillips-directed commercial nine times (nine times). If only Mia Sara and Alan Ruck were along for the ride, too.

Is Ferris Bueller Back For the Super Bowl?
26 January 2012 1:51 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
After playing hooky for over a quarter of a century, Ferris Bueller will finally be returning to the pop culture spotlight next month — but is he really going to be working as a corporate shill? That's not possible, right?
Man, if there's one person we never really expected to grow up, it's Ferris Bueller.
Still, we have a feeling that Matthew Broderick, who according to New York Magazine is set to reprise his famous role as Ferris Bueller for an upcoming spot during the Super Bowl, wouldn't let the free-spirited icon promote anything too, you know, establishment. And we're totally stoked to see him back as Bueller not just because we love the movie, but because it's possibly one step closer to the long-rumored sequel finally becoming a reality.
So just what product is Bueller hyping? Will Cameron (Alan Ruck) or Sloane (Mia Sara) be making an appearance? Or could »
