[Cannes Review] Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted
19 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In this third installment of the massively popular Dreamworks children’s franchise Madagascar 3, the director trio team of Eric Darnell, Tom McGrath and Conrad Vernon team up with writer Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale). The result is a surprisingly well-made circus of color that bursts at the seams with great visual gags. It’s usually the third film in animated trilogies where filmmakers typically get lazy, but there is a lot of effort to detail and storytelling to keep things moving here. The heaviest criticism to levy against a film intended for children is the lack of a moral compass and excessive (and sometimes disturbing) cartoonish violence, preventing Madagascar 3 from being a total knockout.
For those unfamiliar with the previous two films in the series, Madagascar centers around a quartet of escaped zoo animals led by an adventurous-but-shy Lion named Alex (Ben Stiller). He and his three friends, »

‘Madagascar 3′ And A ‘Big Brother’ Movie Premiere In Cannes
18 May 2012 5:04 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
On the third day of the Cannes Film Festival it was a day for familiar names taking the spotlight on the famed Palais steps. First up tonight was the return of DreamWorks Animation. One way or another DreamWorks Animation honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg finds a way to bring his latest product to the Croisette, whether in the form of a press stunt, junket, competition or as was the case tonight with out-of-competition entry Magagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted which debuted in the prime 7:30Pm slot on the first Friday of the festival. Of course with the sequel using nearby Monte Carlo as a key backdrop for the action, and Europe in its title, this was a no-brainer for Cannes Fest director Thierry Fremaux who has repeatedly called DreamWorks Animation a “friend of the festival” and loves having a fun 3D movie toon in the mix. Just two years ago »

Tmp's Summer 2012 Movie Guide: June
1 May 2012 8:51 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
Honestly, if I was forced to judge Summer 2012 at first glance, I would say it was pretty weak. Compared to 2011 and 2010, there's just not as many movies to look forward to. While it seems easy to write off this Summer as a dud, I have three reasons why it might actually be awesome; The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, and Prometheus. Honestly, that's all Summer 2012 needs in order to be one for the history books. Even then, there's still more than enough films to warrant your attention this summer. To help you sort through them all, we've once again compiled all the most interesting films of the season into four easy to read, informative guides. For the next four days, we'll take you on a journey through the best cinema has to offer in Summer 2012. Welcome to our Summer 2012 Movie Guide! Today, we will focus on June 2012, one of the biggest months of the year. »

19 April 2012 9:53 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
New films by Michael Haneke, Jacques Audiard, Lee Daniels, Abbas Kiarostami, Ken Loach and Wes Anderson are in competition at this year's festival
Cannes 2012 is shaping up to be an auteurs' reunion, with new films from old Croisette stagers such as Jacques Audiard, Ken Loach and Michael Haneke vying for this year's top honour, the Palme d'Or. Joining them in competiton are the likes of Walter Salles, Leos Carax, David Cronenberg, Thomas Vinterberg, Lee Daniels and Wes Anderson, whose Moonrise Kingdom is the first opening night film to be also in competition since 2008's Blindness.
Rust and Bone, the latest from Audiard, whose A Prophet won the Grand Prix in 2009, was long a shoo-in for a competition spot; ditto Haneke with Love, which reunites him with Piano Teacher Isabelle Huppert, and Abbas Kiarostami with Like Someone in Love. Matteo Garrone's followup to Gommorah is another welcome inclusion. Loach returns with The Angels' Share, »

Cannes 2012 Lineup Announced: Hillcoat, Haneke, Audiard Among Those in Competition
19 April 2012 5:23 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
This morning the 2012 Cannes lineup was announced at a press conference in Paris and there’s a number of intriguing films in and out of competition this year.
John Hillcoat’s Lawless makes an appearance with Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce forming an excellent cast for the director’s follow up to The Road and Michael Haneke’s Amour will debut at the festival as will new films from Alain Resnais, Jacques Audiard and Jeff Nichols whose Take Shelter as one of my favourites of last year.
Twilight fans wil be well served, not by an earlier screening of the final part of Breaking Dawn thankfully but with stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson leading Walter Salles’ On the Road and David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Cosmoplis. Interestingly Cronenberg Jr. also has a film playing – son Brandon has his film Anitviral in Un Certain Regard. »

Cannes 2012 Line-Up Revealed With New Films From Dominik, Kiarostami, Nichols, Audiard, Haneke & More
19 April 2012 4:34 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
After we got the news last night via a trailer that David Cronenberg‘s Cosmopolis would be joining the Cannes line-up, the rest of the titles have been revealed. It’s a strong one, with Andrew Dominik‘s Assassination of Jesse James follow-up being my most-anticipated of the bunch, along with the next features from Abbas Kiarostami (Certified Copy) and Jacques Audiard (A Prophet). We’ve also got new films from Michael Haneke, Take Shelter’s Jeff Nichols, Lee Daniels, Ken Loach, John Hillcoat and Walter Salles.
There are a good amount of rumored titles missing, as Paul Thomas Anderson‘s The Master, new Terrence Malick, Derek Cianfrance’s The Place Beyond the Pines and Park Chan-wook’s Stoker are nowhere to be found. We’ll have to wait until fall festival debuts for that batch, most likely. Playing in other categories we’ve got midnight films from Dario Argento »

Other films of interest include Dominik's "Killing Them Softly," his follow-up to "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford." Like that film, Dominik's latest has Brad Pitt in a leading role. There's also "The Paperboy," a legal thriller starring Nicole Kidman, »

Cannes 2012 Film Festival Selection – Killing Them Softly, Lawless & More
19 April 2012 3:18 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Cannes Film Festival bosses Thierry Fremaux and Gilles Jacob have revealed the full official selection of films to play at this year’s 65th annual extravaganza on the South of France.
The big news coming out of the Paris press-conference reveal is that two of our most anticipated forthcoming films; John Hillcoat’s ‘Lawless’ (formerly The Wettest County in the World) and Andrew Dominik’s ‘Killing Them Softly’ (formerly Cogan’s Trade) will debut on the Croisette. With their ensemble casts, intriguing concepts and exciting talent behind the camera, we had our fingers crossed tightly that they might debut in Cannes and our prayers were answered this morning.
‘Killing Them Softly’ is based on George V. Higgins’ obscure novel “Cogan’s Trade” and casts Brad Pitt as Jackie Cogan, “a professional enforcer who investigates a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game” believed to have been perpetrated by »

'Lawless,' 'Killing Them Softly,' 'Cosmopolis,' 'On The Road' Lead Official Selection For 2012 Cannes Film Festival
19 April 2012 3:11 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Still the biggest and most prestigious film festival in the world, despite fierce competition, Cannes is one of the major dates in the film lover's calendar. And more so than ever this year, there's been a great deal of speculation as to what the films in competition might be. We knew that Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" was opening the festival, and we knew, as of yesterday, that "Therese D," the last film from director Claude Miller, starring Audrey Tautou, would close it.
But beyond that, nothing's been certain, although all kinds of rumors have been circulating. Would we see Terrence Malick debut a new film for the second year in a row? Would Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" bow on the Croisette? Would Adam Sandler's "That's My Boy" finally see him gain festival love? (it's possible we made the last one up).
Well, the line-up's finally been unveiled, »
