Hey, What's Coming Out in January 2010!?
22 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
By now you're surely sick of high-quality films. You're fed up with James Cameron and Squeakquels and year-end Oscar push movies. By this point you're itching for January, a movie month that only a true genre geek could enjoy. Or someone who loves the geeky risk of maybe seeing a really rotten flick. Yes, January offers that much and more!
Week 1
Daybreakers (Lionsgate) -- A nifty horror sci-fi mash-up that played Toronto and Fantastic Fest and played 'em well.
Leap Year (Universal) -- Amy Adams and Matthew Goode in a romantic comedy about romance. I'll rent it one day because Amy Adams is cute 'n' sexy.
Youth in Revolt (Weinstein) -- The Weinsteins still release films? Yes, but only ones that have been sitting on their shelf for over a year. In this one, an uncomfortable Michael Cera tries to woo a girl. (Oh, you've seen it already?)

Our 20 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2010
28 December 2009 8:18 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
As we come to the end of 2009, it’s time to look forward and put together our list of our most anticipated movies of 2010.
Last year could have been worse – 5 of our 10 most anticipated movies of 2009 turned out to live up to our expectations (including Watchmen, Up, and Star Trek), while the other five ranged from mediocre (Public Enemies) to downright disappointing (Terminator Salvation, Wolverine, Transformers 2). Of course “most anticipated” does not necessarily mean “movies we think are going to be awesome” – it’s “movies we hope are going to be awesome.”
This year the task was made a lot easier thanks to our senior editor Kofi Outlaw putting together Screen Rant’s 2010 movie preview, giving us a one-stop list from which to gather the biggies. While last year was a group effort, this year I’ve decided to pull rank and come up with the list myself, with »

How Denzel Washington Got Even Badder For The Book Of Eli
27 December 2009 5:48 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
So after the fine, fine, pre-Xmas entertainment that was “Avatar”, we now turn our Sci-Fi attentions to the next big Sci-Fi flick coming our way in the form of the grim, dusty, post enlightened civilization road movie, “The Book Of Eli”, starring our man Denzel Washington as a high plains drifter firm and fully packed with the skills and hardware required to lay down the law on all those radiated, diseased or just plain mal-adjusted enough to want to take what Denzel has sworn to protect. I’ve got a nice behind the scener for you illustrating in interview and clips just how Denzel (now 55) got himself trained to Ninja his way through as many as 16 guys at once. As the vid explains, some so called action heroes pound one guy then the scene gets cut, action hero sips a latte or two, fondles an extra, then moves on to the next victim. »

Things Get Violent In The Book Of Eli Featurette
24 December 2009 3:27 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The Book of Eli looks okay, but it.s hard to get excited for something that looks like any old post-apocalyptic film featuring batches of overly violent men in desperate need of a shower. I was hoping this new featurette from Yahoo! Movies would be the item to make me think otherwise, but all it does is enhance my original sentiment. It focuses on the stunts in the film, particularly Denzel Washington.s superhuman ability to learn the choreography. Director Allen Hughes points out that shooting the fight scenes are far more complicated than landing a single punch. Washington had to keep swinging for a full minute. Um, is this something new? The battle scenes do look impressive, but no more spectacular than anything else we.ve seen. Hopefully Warner Bros. can cram in another featurette or a fresh trailer before the January 15th release. »

Here’s a behind-the-scenes feature showing what goes on into making a badass post-apocalyptic warrior like our main man Eli, played by Denzel Washington. In a word, it involves lots of martial arts and street fighting training and two Asian guys teaching Denzel how to fight, but then you probably already know that. “Book of Eli” opens January 15, 2010, and co-stars Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis.

New Behind-the-Scenes Featurette on the Fight Scenes in The Book Of Eli
24 December 2009 12:36 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A behind-the-scenes video detailing the stunts, particularly the fight sequences, in the Hughes Brothers’ upcoming The Book of Eli recently popped up on Yahoo! Movies. Basically, it’s 2 ½ minutes of directors Albert and Allen Hughes, star Denzel Washington, and stunt coordinator Jeff Imada (fight coordinator for the last two Bourne flicks) talking about standard stuff like the intensity of the sequences and how amazing Denzel was at learning the techniques/doing his own stunts. Toward the end, they also get into some semi-interesting analysis of Eli’s fighting style and how it relates specifically to the character and his motivation. If you check out the vid, you might also catch a few non-behind-the-scenes clips that weren’t in the trailers.
Over the years, I’ve learned to be wary of high-concept actioners, but The Book of Eli is one I’m really looking forward to. It’s got a pair »

One thing I’m looking forward to in 2010 is Denzel Washington as Eli, the lone warrior in a post-apocalyptic world who carries a sacred book that’s the key to saving mankind.

Boos! & Whoop-doos!: 12 Months of Toilet Plunkers and Dumpster Diamonds!
23 December 2009 9:55 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The End of 2009? Whoop-doo! This year has been one hellatious shit storm from the get-go. Pregnant ladies and babies, The Great Depression Part II, pig flu, more than a handful of horrible shootings, a balloon boy, Tiger's indiscretions, and our first black president. Not to mention more dead celebrities than I can shake a stick at. Every time I turned around, some other atrocious calamity was happening right before my eyes. Making 2009 one of the most interesting years of this entire decade. According to Michael Ruppert in his film Collapse its only going to get worse before it gets better. Yes, the Teens are going to see more than half of your friends and family dead. Take account of the folks around you. By the time 2020 rears its ugly head, most of these people will be gone. Turned to dust and painful memories. My advice to you this coming New Year? »
David Cronenberg Revives 'The Talking Cure' With Keira Knightley
23 December 2009 7:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Nearly three long years ago, David Cronenberg had optioned Christopher Hampton's play The Talking Cure, and was preparing it as his next project. Late last year, he became attached to The Matarese Circle, the spy thriller that boasted Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise. While Cronenberg fans wondered if their favorite body horrormeister had gone soft on popcorn thrillers, Cruise dropped out, the project apparently died, and Cronenberg was left to reboot The Fly. But if The Playlist and Hopscotch Films' Facebook page are accurate, Cronenberg may be doubling back to the psychiatrist's couch for The Talking Cure.
Reportedly, Keira Knightley, Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender are attached to star in Cure. The play centers on a young Carl Jung, who uses Sigmund Freud's "talking cure" on a young and troubled Russian woman. In the process of psychoanalyzing her, he falls in love with her. Freud comes along, marvels at his success, »

Knightley, Fassbender, Waltz in Cronenberg's The Talking Cure?
23 December 2009 2:24 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Where did this come from? Last we heard, David Cronenberg was supposed to be directing The Matarese Circle with Denzel Washington or the billionaire limo project Cosmopolis next, not some other project called The Talking Cure. Our friends at The Playlist found an odd mention of a project on the Facebook page for Australian distribution company Hopscotch Films today. There it's mentioned that they just bought a film called The Talking Cure that's being directed by David Cronenberg and will star Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, and Christoph Waltz. And we've never heard of this once before until today? That's kind of odd. I did a quick search and found an old Cinematical article from 2007 stating that The Talking Cure was going to be Cronenberg's "next project." They also say it's an adaptation of Christopher Hampton's stage play of the same name, set in the early 20th century, about the »

trailer break: ‘The Book of Eli’
21 December 2009 1:27 PM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
I heard a word on The Colbert Show last week that I’d never heard before, but the instant I heard it, I knew I loved it. That word is afterscape. I love learning new words, because now I can say this: The afterscape in the Hughes Brothers’ new postapocalyptic thriller The Book of Eli looks awfully familiar. Can’t someone invent a new end of the world? Why does it all have to end in ways that we already know? Surely we could get, I dunno, a green apocalypse, wherein some Gaia-loving mad scientist unleashes a mutant virus that turns everything into plants... except for the last stragglers of humanity who have so far managed to avoid getting triffidized. I mean, really: Must the apocalypse be so gray and dusty? Also: You’d think that whatever stupid thing we did that caused the apocalypse -- like punching a hole »

Kids from the 'Hood: Wendy Williams, Barack Obama and The Prep School Negroes
21 December 2009 9:14 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In recent interviews with both People and the New York Times, talk-show hostess Wendy Williams speaks openly about her unlikely upbringing in the leafy environs of suburban New Jersey. Indeed, rather than being the "girl from the 'hood" her potty-mouthed persona might suggest, Williams actually summered on Martha's Vineyard, went to charm school and attended private university in Boston. Big-boned and big-mouthed, Williams was a perpetual "only-one" -- that rare Black girl in mostly-White environments. And Williams was not alone. From Damon Dash to Denzel Washington, Sean "P-Diddy" Combs to President Barack Obama, many of popular-culture's most prominent African-Americans are not just Negroes -- they're Prep-School Negroes (Psn). As graduates of elite "prep" (or "independent") school systems, this minority-within-a-minority is bucking the myth of Black kids as over-urban and under-educated. Along the way, PSNs have become a dominant force in business, »
