Between Us | Review
1 hour ago | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »
When Sharyl (Melissa George) and Joel (David Harbour) unexpectedly appear at the door of Grace (Julia Stiles) and Carlo's (Taye Diggs) New York City apartment, we immediately flashback a couple of years to the moments before their friendship officially died. It is a while before writer-director Dan Mirvish allows us to return to Grace and Carlo's apartment, as we spend a majority of the first half of Between Us observing Grace and Carlo's first visit to Sharyl and Joel's opulent Midwestern mansion. It is slowly revealed that Joel and Carlo became best friends while they were photography majors at graduate school. After graduation, they chose to utilize their education in much different ways. Carlo opted to take the [struggling] artistic path of a fine arts photographer in New York City, while Joel chose to sell out as a financially successful commercial artist in the Midwest. Jealousy and resentment has always festered between Carlo and Joel, »

Wigs And Fox Debut ‘Blue’ On Hulu, Other Series To Follow
16 hours ago | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
The self-described "number one channel for drama on YouTube" is making a move that will give it a similar presence on a different platform. Wigs, the female-oriented YouTube Original Channel from Jon Avnet and Rodrigo Garcia, has debuted Blue, its most popular series, on Hulu. Blue stars Julia Stiles as a single mom who moonlights as a prostitute, and it became the first Wigs series to receive a second season when it released the first of ten new episodes last March. Most of Wigs' top videos come from Blue, a product of Stiles' high-caliber acting and lots of pre-roll ad spots. Instead of simply copy-pasting the series to Hulu, Wigs is rearranging it in five TV-length episodes, which have all been posted to the premium distribution site. The move is a calculated one. Wigs is now partnered with Fox, and the Hulu move represents the major network's intention to explore online distribution platforms beyond YouTube. »

McLintock! DVD review
18 June 2013 3:52 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Aliya Whiteley 19 Jun 2013 - 06:47
Aliya finds this John Wayne adaptation of Shakespeare to be interesting, if uncomfortably old-fashioned, watching...
If you’re going to watch a movie version of Shakespeare’s The Taming of The Shrew you have a quite a few options: from Dw Griffith’s 1908 silent version to the 2010 Bollywood film Isi Life Mein. You could try Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor hamming it up in Franco Zefferelli’s 1967 film, or enjoy the music of Cole Porter and the choreography of Hermes Pan in 1953's Kiss Me, Kate. Or there's 10 Things I Hate About You, which surprisingly feels like one of the more faithful renditions, with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles spitting venom at each other in a very enjoyable way.
And then there's McLintock!, a comedy western from 1963 with the stamp of John Wayne all over it, determined to tell an old story in an old-fashioned way. »

Lee Daniels, Julia Stiles Help Honor Ghetto Film School Students and The Criterion Collection at 9th Annual Spring Benefit
13 June 2013 11:18 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Last night's ninth Annual Spring Benefit for the Ghetto Film School featured plenty of celebrities, a few surprises, and six very happy high school students. Presenters Lee Daniels, Julia Stiles, and sportscaster Gus Johnson were all on hand to honor the six college-bound high school students who earned $2,500 in college scholarships to continue their film education. Held at The Standard Hotel's Biergarten in the Meat Packing District of Manhattan, the benefit featured at least three unannounced celebrity guests including the Roots frontman Questlove, who helped DJ the after-dinner party, "Nashville" star Connie Britton, and director Wes Anderson, who sent in a surprise video introduction for fellow benefit honoree Peter Becker, the president of The Criterion Collection. Becker was named a Gfs Champion in honor of his organization’s support of the Gfs. Gfs Filmmakers Council member Lee Daniels was given the same designation three years prior.

Paranoid Procedural with UK's Closed Circuit
4 June 2013 4:30 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
There is something inherently ominous with the aesthetic of all those camera-feeds in security conscious Londontown. Furious 6's London setting failed to properly make use of them, but they seem to be at the heart of the matter for Jon Crowley's (Boy A, Intermission) mature information-technology thriller Closed Circuit. Eric Bana and Ciarán Hinds are aiming to catch urban terrorists (instead of planting the bombs as they did together in Spielberg's Munich) with the help of Rebecca Hall, Julia Stiles and Jim Broadbent. Looking to be a smidgen of 24, a hint of Bourne, and a dollop of Page 8, Closed Circuit seems to have a lot on offer with its trailer, hopefully the film with follow through in an appropriate adult fashion.Two ex-lovers find their loyalties tested and their lives at risk...

Contest: Win Copies Of Apocalyptic Comedy 'It’s A Disaster' On Blu-Ray & DVD
4 June 2013 9:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It’s pretty much impossible to avoid the end of the world this summer, and with the trend of blockbuster apocalypse movies showing no signs of abating any time soon, it’s good to have something a little more offbeat to throw into the mix. “It’s a Disaster,” the sophomore effort from up and coming director Todd Berger is exactly that, and to celebrate the DVD release we’ve got three copies on DVD and three copies on Blu-ray to give away to some lucky readers. It got a rapturous response from the packed houses it played to in Los Angeles and when we caught the film at the La Film Festival, we called it “a clever take on the apocalypse film...that takes a humorous look at the problems, both epic and trivial, that threaten to ruin lives” (our review here). With an ensemble cast featuring Julia Stiles, »

The Blu-ray/DVD Column Where ‘Race With the Devil’ Beats ‘Identity Thief’ and ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’
4 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. It’s a Disaster Four couples get together for their monthly brunch, but today’s gathering includes a few surprises. Tracy (Julia Stiles) has brought along a new boyfriend (David Cross), one of the couples is heading towards a separation, and a mysterious incident in the city has left them trapped in the house with little in the way of reliable information. A lack of certainty, loyalty and sanity quickly overcomes the group leading to even more trouble. Writer/director Todd Berger‘s ensemble comedy is easily the funniest disaster film in ages. Most of the cast are (fairly) fresh faces, but in addition to the two names above America Ferrera gets to show a decidedly different side of herself. It’s a simple film, essentially set in a single location, but »

‘Closed Circuit’ Trailer: Video Cameras Don’t Kill People, But People Do
3 June 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
If recent spy thrillers (and, ahem, Fast Six) have taught us anything, it’s that nefarious people in positions of power are always able to access government-run closed circuit videos for their own means. But what if it’s the actual government that’s collecting tape like a geeky collector at a neighborhood flea market? That’s the question (sort of, not really at all) at the heart of John Crowley‘s Closed Circuit. The film sounds like a relatively straightforward thriller (albeit one with a stellar cast that includes Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Julia Stiles, and Jim Broadbent) with some added sex appeal. Oh, and also this closed circuit thing. Bana and Hall star as lawyers (and ex-lovers) who get tasked with defending a man accused of a terrorist act that left many dead (he allegedly rigged a bus with explosives and set it off in a crowded area). It seems like a relatively thankless gig »

Watch: The Stakes Are High in the New Trailer For 'Closed Circuit' Starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall
3 June 2013 8:18 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Focus Features has premiered the new trailer for "Closed Circuit," a crime thriller from director John Crowley ("Boy A") with a script penned by Steve Knight ("Eastern Promises"). The drama stars Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall as lawyers and ex-lovers tasked with defending a man accused of setting off a bomb in London in a treacherous terrorist case. Rounding out the action is Julia Stiles, who plays a hard-hitting New York Times journalist who is more knowledgeable about the case than she lets on at first. The film rounds out the crop of summer thrillers and action movies with an August 28 release, and will hopefully inject some smart drama into the otherwise notoriously lifeless summer movie season.

Watch Eric Bana And Rebecca Hall In Trailer For Closed Circuit
3 June 2013 2:45 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
While we all hear the title Closed Circuit and hope it means that we’re finally getting a Short Circuit threequel, alas we’re not. Nope, Johnny 5 won’t be taking on terrorists in this upcoming thriller from director John Crawley. Luckily, Eric Bana is on the case and you can check out his mixed accent and broodiness in the latest trailer, below.
Bana plays a high profile lawyer who together with his ex-girlfriend, played by Rebecca Hall, finds himself on the defense team for a terrorism suspect. With a starry cast in tow the trailer points towards the flick being an intelligent alternative to the usual popcorn fare offered up during the summer season. Joining Bana and Hall are Ciaran Hinds, Jim Broadbent, Anne-Marie Duff, Julia Stiles, Riz Ahmed, Kenneth Cranham and Denis Moschitto.
The preview is a smidgen spoilery. Littered with shady encounters on park benches Closed Circuit »

Steve Knight is a man who enjoys taking concerns such as immigration, cultural differences and whether Robert Powell and Jasper Carrott can be an efficient law-keeping team and turning them into effective dramas and thrillers (okay, not the Powell and Carrott bit, but he did co-create silly sitcom The Detectives). His latest script is Closed Circuit, which John Crowley has now brought to the screen. Check out the trailer over at Apple’s site.Circuit finds lawyers Martin (Eric Bana) and Claudia (Rebecca Hall) thrown together when they’re assigned to be the defence team for an accused terrorist following a bombing in a London market.As if the high-profile case weren’t enough, the pair also used to be a couple, which creates an extra layer of tension.

Trailer for Eric Bana's Terrorist Thriller Closed Circuit

Closed Circut is the new film by Boy A director John Crowley, and it looks fantastic! The movie boasts an impressive cast that includes Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Riz Ahmed, Jim Broadbent, Kenneth Cranham, Anne-Marie Duff, Ciarán Hinds, and Julia Stiles.
This international terrorist thriller follows "two ex-lovers, Martin (Bana) and Claudia (Hall), who find their loyalties tested and their lives at risk when they are joined together on the defense team in a terrorism trial." I really like Crowley's detailed and meticulous filmmaking style. The guy knows how to make great international thrillers and build suspense.
The movie comes out on August 28th.

Tense Trailer & Poster For Terrorist Thriller ‘Closed Circuit’
31 May 2013 1:21 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Coming from Focus Features and Working Title is the terrifically cast conspiracy thriller, Closed Circuit, which is led by the underrated Eric Bana and Brit stunner Rebecca Hall, currently seen in Iron Man 3. I’ve been a huge fan of Bana’s since comic-crime caper Chopper. I even have a soft spot for his portrayal as Bruce Banner in Ang Lee’s much-maligned Hulk. This London-set effort looks tense affair with a superb supporting cast including Riz Ahmed, Jim Broadbent, Kenneth Cranham, Anne-Marie Duff, Ciarán Hinds and Julia Stiles. The first trailer and poster have just arrived and appear below the official synopsis.
Two ex-lovers, Martin (Eric Bana) and Claudia (Rebecca Hall), find their loyalties tested and their lives at risk when they are joined together on the defense team in a terrorism trial.” That may be the simple plot description, but judging by the trailer, the film looks far more complicated. »
