20 Most Anticipated Movies Still to Come In 2009

9 July 2009 2:33 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

20 Most Anticipated Movies Still to Come In 2009 At the beginning of the year I made a list of my Top 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2009. Of that list I have now seen five of them. Nine out of the remaining ten made this list as I bumped Alejandro Amenabar's Agora since it has still yet to get picked up by a distributor due to rather weak reactions out of the Cannes Film Festival. However, a few films have made their way onto this list thanks to strong film festival reactions as I have put together a list of 20 films to look forward to as we move into the final six months of 2009. One film I didn't include merely because it is coming out next week and I felt it would be a wasted space is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I am undoubtedly anticipating seeing it and had it been

Red Carpet: Yo, Adrien. It's Marion and Maid Marian

8 July 2009 6:00 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

Time for our weekly stream of consciousness trip to the red carpet to visit with random celebrities who've been walking it.

First up are two Hogwarts franchise girls. Sartorial madwoman Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix LeStrange) and the delightfully batty Miriam Margoyles (Professor Pomona Sprout) came out for the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince premiere. Helena gets a few wickedly cackling scenes in the new picture but Miriam goes entirely missing. Oh well. Next time, Miriam. What is it with out lesbian actresses that they are all so endlessly adorable? I mean Jane Lynch + Miriam Margoyles + Lily Tomlin + Fiona Shaw... it doesn't get much better than them. They're always an audience treat. But back to Helena. Sometimes I try to time travel back to the late 80s and imagine this current fate for Lucy Honeychurch (sharing a home and hairdresser with Tim Burton) and I'll tell you... it's hard to fathom.

'Ice Age 3' heats up UK box office

8 July 2009 4:22 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has landed at the top of the UK box office on its first weekend on release. Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard, debuts in second place, narrowly beating the Transformers sequel to the runner-up spot. Bollywood film Kambakkht Ishq, which features cameos from Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh, enters the chart at number seven. Elsewhere, Night At The Museum 2 and Terminator Salvation slip out of the top five, while Sunshine Cleaning maintains (more)

Top Ten Movies Midway Through 2009

8 July 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Top Ten Movies Midway Through 2009 Last year I did a mid-way top ten and only two of the films on that list (Wall-e and In Bruges) made my year end top ten. How many of this year's mid-way ten will make it? Judging by tomorrow's list of the 20 films I am anticipating over the next six months I wouldn't be surprised if the list changes drastically, but that is then... this is now. Photo: 20th Century Fox / Focus Features / Sony Classics / Summit Entertainment / Miramax Before we get to the list of ten I have a few that just missed the cut starting with Adventureland, which is actually my #11 selection and the first one to miss the top ten. As a matter of fact it is almost interchangeable with my #10 selection. But over the years I have grown to hate the idea of a tie in these kind of lists so

Movie Math: Does Nine Equal 8½?

7 July 2009 2:20 PM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Channeling Italian cinema master Federico Fellini's penchant for psychedelic fantasies, antic narcissism and eye-popping set pieces, director Rob Marshall (Chicago) seems to be pulling out all the stops. Daniel Day-Lewis plays Italian director Guido Contini, with a cast that includes Sophia Loren as Guido's hot momma, not to mention a bevvy of babes, including Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Judi Dench. It definitely looks spectacular, dare we say Fellini-esque. But what do you think? Could Nine end up being as endearingly over the top as Fellini's classic 8½?

Auto of the week: Ford V8 from Public Enemies

7 July 2009 4:43 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news

Asked by lady love Billie Frechette (played by Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard) about himself, bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) smartly replies: “I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars… and you. What else you need to know?” Indeed, that pretty much covers it in Public Enemies, the new Michael Mann drama focussing on the last 18 months in the life of the notorious 1930s criminal. And for the car enthusiast there are plenty of these “fast cars” to feast your eyes on, between 1,000 and 1,500 according to the production team, though we’ve singled out our favourite here at Boxwish for our weekly auto spot – the Ford V8 used by Depp’s Dillinger upon escaping from the Lake County Jail.

The jail, an extension to the home of local enforcer, Sheriff Lillian Holley (Lili Taylor) doesn’t hold Dillinger for long and he makes his escape in the Ford V8 belonging to the Sheriff.

Mammoths Tango With Robots

6 July 2009 10:45 AM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news

For the first time which in this reporter’s opinion seems to be a long while is a tie for first over this past 4th of July weekend. Dreamworks’ Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ties up with the robot-clad Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen both coming in with 42.5 million each. The third installment of the Ice Age animated trilogy involves the fuzzy mammoth Manny (Ray Romano) and his wife Ellie (Queen Latifah) expecting, while Sid (John Leguizamo) gets himself into some big time hijinks that even his friend Diego (Dennis Leary) cannot save him out of as they discover a world underneath them of dinosaurs. Even though Ice Age 3 did have a really strong opening, especially on this past holiday weekend, Transformers 2 definitely is starting to loose steam which is most likely coming from the big time negative reviews on the flick.

Cotillard: 'I'd never heard of Dillinger'

6 July 2009 4:32 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Marion Cotillard has admitted that she had never heard of gangster John Dillinger before starring in Public Enemies. The Oscar winner told Digital Spy that the bank robber's exploits are not well known in her native France. "I didn't know him at all. I didn't even know his name," she said. "The first time I heard about him was for the movie and the first thing I read about him was the script." Discussing her character Billie Frechette's relationship with Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp in the film, the 33-year-old said: "I think they had a lot in common and they were the same kind of person. She was not a gangster, not at all, she was a very kind person. She was also very strong. I think (more)

Marion Cotillard has described Johnny Depp as an "amazing actor", reports say. The actress has said that aside from her Public Enemies co-star being a great actor, he is also a genuine person. Cotillard told Collider: "I think that you always learn something from working with good actors. I had seen a lot of his movies before I worked with him. I think he’s an amazing actor because he can do so many different things and be authentic in each of those things. "He’s a very - I think I always say funny guy, but funny guy means more weird.

Kurt Loder Reviews ‘Public Enemies’

3 July 2009 2:47 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

From MTV.Com: John Dillinger’s reign as America’s most-wanted bank robber (or one of them) only spanned 10 months — from the fall of 1933, when he pulled his first such heist, to the summer of 1934, when federal agents shot him down in front of Chicago’s Biograph Theater. Still, Dillinger has proved to be a durable celebrity desperado. Along with such fellow bank-job specialists as Clyde Barrow, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson (all of whom came to a bloody end the same year Dillinger did), he continues to embody the “public enemy” years of the Great Depression, when heartland gangsters became figures of public fascination by smiting the hated banks and repeatedly eluding the little-loved coppers who pursued them.

Dillinger’s brief career has been the subject of several films. The latest is director Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies,” a beautifully made picture that sets out to portray

Public Enemies

3 July 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | From SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news

Public Enemies Directed by Michael Mann Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral) brings his usual directorial flair to the well-worn story of John Dillinger and his dogged pursuers - but not much else. Shot in bracing digital with a weight and sense of gravity desperately missing from similar genre efforts as of late, Enemies nevertheless winds up feeling less than the sum of its not-inconsiderable parts. Among them: the versatile Johnny Depp as Dillinger, here presented mostly in the waning weeks of his criminal empire, and a refreshingly unaffected Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent assigned to neutralize him. We follow Dillinger from an initial escape all the way through to his famed demise outside of a movie theater, with various misadventures in between, lending the film an odd sense of pacing and a rambling quality that should be familiar to Heat fans. The problems start early. The film's entire first hour is a slog,

Michael Mann's newest epic, Public Enemies, is released today and he could not have cast three more brilliant performers. The film stars Johnny Depp as 1930's bank robber and folk hero John Dillinger, Marion Cotillard as his moll Billie Frechette and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who hunts Dillinger. We got to talk to Mann about the film, shooting in HD, and picking the soundtrack. Damn, this man can talk! Michael Mann You've made some classic modern day gangster...
