Olivier Assayas on Something in the Air: 'A rock concert, a party, a riot – these are the rites of passage'
16 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Olivier Assayas's new film is set amid the fallout of the May 68 uprising and the rebellious antics of its hero recall the director's own youthful protests. He talks about adrenaline rushes and breaking rules
Olivier Assayas, the writer, director and former film critic, is truly cool. He is the maker of some of the most playful, intellectual French cinema of the past two decades. His tastes are eclectic, his skill-set vast: he can move confidently between witty romps (such as his 1996 breakthrough, Irma Vep, one of the cleverest of all films about film-making, or the techno-thriller Demonlover) and lavish, patient period pieces (Les Destinées Sentimentales) or slow-burn emotional studies (Summer Hours). His most formidable achievement is the five-and-a-half-hour Carlos, a painstaking recreation of the rise of Carlos the Jackal made for television in 2010 but mounted with a scope and handsomeness to shame any Hollywood equivalent.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Star Trek villain speaks with the voice of reason
15 May 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
As critics swoon over the British star's timbre and tone, it is clear that a great voice is still essential for any great movie actor
This week, Benedict Cumberbatch has been basking in praise for his portrayal of the villain, John Harrison, in Jj Abrams' new film, Star Trek Into Darkness – more particularly, his voice has been drawing raves.
"So sepulchrally resonant that it could have been synthesised from the combined timbres of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Alan Rickman holding an elocution contest down a well," sighed The Independent's Jonathan Romney. "The deep-voiced Cumberbatch asserts fully self-justified treachery", asserted The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy. In The New Yorker, Anthony Lane launched a career-overview of Cumberbatch's "honeyed mellifluous voice", concluding: "The timbre remains in Abrams film." The Daily Mirror judged its readers so in need of a top-up of Cumberbatch's Burtonesque baritone, it linked to a video in which »

Video Game Review: ‘Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall’ is a Quality Jungle Gym
8 May 2013 9:26 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I’m of the mind that the most enjoyable video games are often times, in a way, toys. “Grand Theft Auto”, “Far Cry 3”, “Minecraft”, “Red Faction: Guerrilla”, and even the best sports games like “NBA 2K13” and older “Ncaa Football” titles all contain features or elements of gameplay that tickle the tinkering part of a player’s imagination. Sure, you can play through “GTA”’s plot without causing mayhem, wearing a funny outfit, or soliciting the services of a digital lady of the evening, but where’s the fun in that? You can take out an enemy outpost with an Ak-47 in “Far Cry 3”, but isn’t it a bit more…entertaining, to lure a hungry tiger into the base for some sweet, sweet, pirate meat? Hell, I still haven’t made it past the third mission in “Red Faction: Guerrilla” thanks to incredibly awesome and distracting destruction physics. »

DVD Review: Infected (2012)
27 April 2013 11:57 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Zombie movies are the flavor of the moment and have been for a while now. At least one film featuring some variation of the walking dead is released a week. However, I wouldn't necessarily call the creatures we see in Infected traditional zombies.
The Infected people in this never die. They get sick from exposure to Lyme disease by being bit by an animal or person who contracted it or ate something it was in, such as contaminated meat. The individuals who are infected don't just lumber around aimlessly. They actually resemble rabid animals, talk, and move rapidly.
Although the zombies in Infected aren't typical, the set-up of the movie is. We have a group of people trapped in a cabin in the woods. They must fight off the diseased as they attempt to break into the house and eat every living thing inside. The characters end up having to »

"But in 'Sin City', a reunion is never good news. And Ava has plans for 'Dwight'.
"It’s one of those hot nights, dry and windless. The kind that makes people do sweaty, secret things.
"Dwight’s thinking of all the ways he’s screwed up and what he’d give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life.
"And he’d give anything. »

Thn’s Top Five Worst Movie Parodies
13 April 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Yesterday, Scary Movie 5 oozed its way into cinemas and to celebrate… to acknowledge said release, we looked at the Top Five Movie Parodies (now see here) and it was a right laugh.
But today, we don’t just scrape the bottom of the barrel, we kick it over and investigate the turds beneath. For today, we look at The Top Five Worst Movie Parodies. We say five, there’s tons of them here, in fact the Top Three encompasses thirteen films.
This won’t be easy, so I just want to say good luck. And we’re all counting on you.
5. Not Another Not Another Movie

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 "Mob of the Dead" Trailer Sends Zombies to Alcatraz
11 April 2013 9:37 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Activision has released a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 trailer from the upcoming Uprising Dlc Pack. More specifically, the new trailer delves into the Mob of the Dead that stars everyone's favorite decaying cannon fodder, zombies!
In Mob of the Dead, four mobsters find themselves trapped on Alcatraz with a slew of aggressive zombies. The goal is two-fold; stay alive, and ultimately find a way off the island. The second part of that strategy looks to be spoiled in the trailer below, unless what's shown is a failed attempt.
You may recognize some of the names lending their voices to the Mob of the Dead mob-themed human contingent. They include Chazz Palminteri (The Usual Suspects), Joe Pantoliano (The Sopranos), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs ), and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas).
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Uprising that includes Mob of the Dead is coming exclusively to Xbox 360 on April 16.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2′s Latest Zombie Map Pits Mobsters Against Zombies
11 April 2013 12:03 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Well this is awesome. Even if you’re not a “Call of Duty” fan, you gotta admit, they really go all out for their Zombie game mode. Last year, they let us play as horror movie icons (Freddy and Buffy, to name just two) fighting a legion of undead. This year, for “Black Ops 2″, it’s mobsters in “Mob of the Dead”. Or, more precisely, famous actors who have played some famous mob characters in their varied careers — Chazz Palminteri, Joe Pantoliano, Michael Madsen, and Ray Liotta. In an obvious nod to “Goodfellas”, Riotta narrates this trailer for “Mob of the Dead”, introducing the characters and, of course, their nicknames. So what’s the story about? Yes, there is a story. (Well, sort of.) Four mobsters find themselves trapped on the notorious Alcatraz Island. They soon find out though that they are not alone in the prison cell blocks. Chazz Palminteri, »
