Tribeca 2012 Review: Deadfall

10 May 2012 3:56 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Deadfall is bound to get comparisons to Fargo. With a few minor script tweaks and slightly different accents, this could have been passed off as a direct to DVD sequel. It is not that there are any similar characters or storylines but more so in the look and feel of the film. Had this been Fargo 2, I.d call it a worthy successor although I.m sure others will want my head on a platter (or my body in a woodchipper) for saying that. Prior to seeing the film, I heard some strongly negative feedback and was even told to avoid it completely by someone who attended an earlier press screening. Since then I.ve noticed a slew of negative reviews calling it an absolute mess and much worse. Honestly, I don.t know why everyone is ranking on this film so much because I loved the hell out of it. »

Treat Williams Lands Key Role on White Collar Season 4

10 May 2012 12:25 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Are White Collar fans about to meet Neal's father?

That's mostly a wild guess, but perhaps not too wild based on the casting news just announced by Entertainment Weekly: Treat Williams has landed an extended season four role on the USA hit.

Insiders confirm that the veteran actor (Everwood, Against the Wall) will portray an undercover officer from D.C. named Sam who has some “deeply rooted ties to Neal’s past.” Hence the father speculation.

Another clue: creator Jeff Eastin has said White Collar Season 4 will focus a great deal on - you guessed it - Neal's family. »

Dr. Brown is checking into White Collar!

Film Review: Kate Hudson Reveals Hell in ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’

4 May 2012 5:31 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Kate Hudson portrays a dying woman in “A Little Bit of Heaven,” and the film is so annoying that her extinguishment can’t come fast enough. The film insults both living and dying, and virtually everything in between, and brings along Lucy Punch, Kathy Bates, Gael Garciá Bernal, Peter Dinklage and Whoopi Goldberg for the funeral.

Rating: 1.0/5.0

Hudson plays an almost sociopathic character, who is suppose to become sympathetic just because she is diagnosed with colon cancer. Yes, that is the serious premise, but as filtered through the Hudson character it is merely a prop designed to make everyone else in the film love her. There are no redeeming qualities to her crass talking, self destructive nature in the story – ignored by those around her – but it is cancer that is suppose to make such a character noble. It’s impossible to imagine the inner turmoil of a real cancer struggle, »

Tribeca Review: 'Deadfall' Starring Eric Bana & Olivia Wilde Is Trapped In A Blizzard of Coincidence & Two-Dimensional Characters

26 April 2012 3:17 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

"Deadfall" starts off strong enough – three criminals, led by Addison (Eric Bana) and his sexy sister Liza (Olivia Wilde) speed away from some unspecified job (it's later revealed to be a casino heist). It's icy out and their driver (the only black character in the whole movie) overcompensates, avoiding a deer, which sends their vehicle cartwheeling over a snowy embankment. As Addison and Liza climb out of the wrecked car they notice their very-dead driver, his head through the windshield. "He should have been wearing his safety belt," Bana grumbles, dripping a syrupy Southern accent on top of his natural Australian drawl. It's a perfect way to begin the movie – darkly comic, oddly thrilling, weirdly sexual (there's definitely an incestuous vibe between the siblings) – but these opening moments are probably the strongest in the movie's 94 minute running time. The rest of "Deadfall" is an arctic mess, a disjointed screenplay which »

Roger Corman's Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader in 3D Promises to Be Epix

25 April 2012 9:47 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Roger Corman graced Syfy with a Sharktopus. For his foray into producing for the Epix network, the “King of the B’s” is busting out Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader (in 3D no less) and has assembled quite a cast for a movie about a giant cheerleader on a rampage.

Shockingly, Roger Corman did not produce the 1950’s cult classic Attack of the 50-Foot Woman or its 1990’s remake starring Daryl Hannah. He also had nothing to do with 1995’s Attack of the 60-Foot Centerfold; that was Fred Olen Ray’s homage. Now, at the ripe old age of 86 (and still kicking), Corman is finally getting a piece of the giant woman on the attack action with Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader.

Synopsis:

Aspiring college cheerleader Cassie Stratford consumes an experimental drug that grants her beauty and enough athletic ability to make the cheer squad. However, the drug has an »

Roger Corman to Tackle 'Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader' in 3D

25 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

After almost sixty years as the reigning King of the B's, Roger Corman is finally producing a 3D movie, and he's found a fitting subject for the medium: Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader. Details after the jump. Variety reports that "Epix's upcoming slate of original programs includes a 3D pic from Roger Corman... Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader marks Corman's first foray into 3D. Pic will be helmed by vfx artist Kevin O'Neill and will star Jena Sims, Sean Young and Treat Williams. Movie will premiere in August." It's hard to believe that Corman hasn't ventured into 3D before, but I guess he saw little need in spending the extra dough required for the process, when titles like »

Tribeca 2012: ‘Deadfall’ exploits an ace cast and director to liven up a weak script

23 April 2012 6:39 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Deadfall

Directed by Stefan Ruzowitsky

Written by Zach Dean

USA, 2012

After winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2008 with The Counterfeiters, director Stefan Ruziowitsky’s first American effort is the noir-ish thriller Deadfall. Although it seems that his script could have used at least one more revision, Ruzowitsky’s Oscar-winning pedigree attracted skilled actors and coaxed good work out of them, thus elevating the material.

To illustrate: there’s a scene in which brutal thief Addison (Eric Bana) escapes a band of police thanks to superlative snowmobile riding, then we cut to the very next scene where his con-woman sister Liza (Olivia Wilde) tells her boyfriend/mark Jay (Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy) that she doesn’t build snowmen very often because “there’s not a lot of snow in Alabama.” Zach Dean’s script is all over the place, scattering a number of good scenes »

16 April 2012 11:28 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

Come mid-May (if not sometimes sooner), the networks will be making some tough calls as to which series will return for the 2012-13 TV season, and which … won’t. As we did last spring, TVLine is singling out select “bubble” shows to survey their prospects.

Next up is a veteran NBC procedural hoping to cop a 14th season.

The Playlist's 15 Most Anticipated Films Of The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival

16 April 2012 7:02 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

This year's Tribeca Film Festival carries one of its strongest line-ups in years. In addition to films from Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Sundance and Berlin circuit, there's also a wealth of U.S. premieres or lesser-known festival movies in the line-up that look just as promising this time around; after a relatively weak SXSW, it looks like the East Coast is getting some of the good stuff.

Below, you'll find 15 films that seem among the most intriguing Tribeca has to offer this year. Of course, we can't speak for their quality as yet, but they certainly look promising at this point at time. And for the record, we haven't included the high-profile opening and closing films -- "The Five-Year Engagement" and "The Avengers" -- partly because they're getting more than enough attention elsewhere, and partly because we've already seen both (although can't review them just yet -- keep your eyes peeled »

Is The Office 2.0 on the way… again?

Having already undergone a makeover at the start of this season (following the departure of front man Steve Carell), the NBC comedy is reportedly considering yet another reboot should it receive a Season 9 pickup (the likelihood of which we’re currently calling “a sure thing“).

Details surrounding the purposed change are scarce, but our sister site Deadline is reporting that Office executive producer Greg Daniels is pitching a revamped series that would feature new and a few returning characters.

Interview: Jena Sims goes big in Corman's 3D "50 Ft Cheerleader"

10 April 2012 5:16 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Roger Corman likes things big lately and what better thing to have more of than a beautiful woman? The plus size lady in his latest production (and surprisingly, first 3D picture) Attack Of The 50Ft Cheerleader does, as the title suggest, get her super sized street cred in the form of her impossible height, just like Alison Hayes before her and later ,Darryl Hannah (in the dual versions of Attack Of The 50Ft Woman, respectively). Joining their skyscraper status playing mutated high schooler Cassie is young, pretty thesp Jena Sims (Dexter, Entourage), a former pageant queen turned actor who looks great crushing all manner of crap that has the misfortune of lying in her rampaging, pom pom plowing wake. Sims joins veteran actors Treat Williams, Mary Woronov and Sean Young in the campy romp.
