Cinematical Rewind: Actors Who Could Play Siblings

8 July 2009 8:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

(Cinematical Rewind is a new column that showcases some of our favorite posts from the past few years. Here's Jeffrey M. Anderson's famous Cinematical Seven from 7/22/08)

Occasionally Hollywood cobbles together random members of the A-list to play family members on film, even if their genes obviously come from opposite ends of the earth. If the actors are good enough or if the chemistry is there, sometimes the combo can work, such as Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman as brothers in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead or Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor in Cassandra's Dream. Other times, it stretches credibility, such as Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman in The Darjeeling Limited. My all-time favorite oddball casting is in Sidney Lumet's Family Business (1989), with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick playing grandfather, father and son. (Huh?) At the same time, there are actor combos out there

Interview: Tom Johnson Talks 'Pippa Lee' & 'Ondine' at Ardmore Sound

6 July 2009 7:29 AM, PDT | From IFTN | See recent IFTN news

Having just completed work on Neil Jordan's 'Ondine', Rebecca Miller's 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee' and the 2009 animated hit 'Coraline', Tom Johnson, sound effects editor and sound re-recording mixer discusses the "emotional logic" in the films he has lent his talent to, being a sound artist and working in Ardmore Sound. Johnson, who has a very colourful filmography to his name, most recently finished working on Neil Jordan's 'Ondine' and Rebecca Miller's 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee'. 'Ondine', starring Colin Farrell and Stephen Rea, tells the story of a fisherman in southwest Ireland who hauls up a live girl in his nets. Theories about the girl's origins blossom as she transforms the lives of the fisherman and local townsfolk. 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee', written and directed by Miller, stars Robin Wright Penn, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reaves,

Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend cuddled up for a walk around London this week. The happy couple was out soaking up the Summer sun together, just a few days after a late night out toasting a short film they worked on together called The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide Brothers. It looks like Keira was making the most of her day off from her current project, London Boulevard, which she's been working on with Colin Farrell for the past few weeks. View 2 Photos ›

Terrific Trailers: Miami Vice

3 July 2009 4:03 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Michael Mann's latest crime opus has already hit theaters, and like most of his devoted fans, I was there opening day. Granted, my desire to be first in line for Public Enemies mainly had to do with my preoccupation with pretty boys in nice suits, but trust me, there were some loftier ideals at work. One of the reasons I love Mann's films is that he finds new ways to tell relatively traditional stories...which brings me to Miami Vice. Vice definitely wasn't one of Mann's most popular films, but I always defend this flick, and here's why: growing up, I watched Miami Vice, and I might have loved it, but even at the tender age of 10 I knew it was kind of silly. I had always wondered what the series would have looked like if the show had a little less cheap humor about Crockett and his alligator

Public Enemies Review

2 July 2009 11:39 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

Public Enemies Directed by: Michael Mann Written by: Ronan Bennett, Michael Mann, Ann Biderman (screenplay), Bryan Burrough (book) Starring: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff, Channing Tatum, Billy Crudup, Leelee Sobieski, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Graham The prospect of Johnny Depp playing a 1930's gangster is probably all that was required to sell most people on Public Enemies, but with director Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider) at the helm, no one really knew whether to expect a summer action movie or a character-driven art piece. What's more, with the number of great gangster flicks that have been made over the years, Mann had his work cut out for him if he was hoping to create something that could measure up to some of the classics. His last film, Miami Vice, was a bit of a disappointment both critically and commercially despite having the star power of Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

Movie Review: Public Enemies

2 July 2009 10:56 PM, PDT | From The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news

Starring: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard

Director: Michael Mann

Release Date: July 1, 2009

Running Time: 143 min

MPAA Rating: R

Distributor: Universal Pictures

- - -

What lives in almost all Michael Mann movies is an entire generation, a lifestyle, of crime. Nearly every movie of his resembles an epic compilation of criminalities. Mann is best at evoking a dark, glamorous criminal world that initiates a mental and physical battle between willing individuals ready to undergo the consequences of pulling the trigger on any artillery device. His characters have an occurring eruption of violence wielded to them and all are saddled with bravado. Each of them has a boisterous attitude to defy excitement and challenge the dangerous.   From Robert De Niro in Heat, Tom Cruise in Collateral to Colin Farrell in Miami Vice, Mann’s characters have an overwhelming need to exemplify their feelings which ar e as highly charged as Mann’s in-your-face filmmaking.

In My Opinion: Ranking the Films of Michael Mann

The films of Michael Mann

Photo: Universal Pictures Ranking the Films of Michael Mann In advance of this Wednesday's release of Public Enemies I thought it was only fitting to take a look back at the films from director Michael Mann and see how they would sort themselves out in a quick ranking session and what a wild last few days it has been. On Thursday, last week, I saw Public Enemies, later that night I watched Manhunter, the next day I watched Thief and The Last of the Mohicans -- then the weekend arrived. In a matter of 48 hours I watched Heat, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice and Collateral all in an attempt to make sure my mind was completely refreshed and ready to sort things out. You will notice I am only ranking nine films since I have never seen The Keep (1983) and it wasn't available through Netflix

New Release Dates For The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

21 June 2009 8:51 AM, PDT | From The Cinema Post | See recent The Cinema Post news

We received word on Friday from Lionsgate that an October date has finally been set for the theatrical release of the film in The UK (which I have been promised I will be attending an advanced screening of, hopefully shortly). I hope to have an exact date in a reply shortly.

No Us date has yet been set, but I strongly agree with The Playlist (via Hey U Guys) it’s highly possible that the division of Lionsgate on the other end of the Atlantic will secure a similar deal for a limited run.

Thank you to Sylvia for the e-mail tip regarding the other Euro dates.

According to IMDb, the following additional European release dates are also scheduled:

Italy       4 September 2009

Romania     18 September 2009

New Zealand     24 September 2009

Czech Republic     1 October 2009

Australia     29 October 2009

Belgium     11 November 2009

France             11 November 2009

Germany     3 December 2009

Netherlands     3 December 2009

The film, set in the present day, follows the immortal 1,000-year-old

How Larry David Stopped Being Nice And Became A Leading Man In Woody Allen’s ‘Whatever Works’

19 June 2009 11:55 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

“You’re being too nice!” Woody Allen would tell Larry David on the New York set of their upcoming comedy, “Whatever Works” (July 19). Sure, David’s suicidal physicist Boris Yellnikoff was calling friends and foes alike “cretins” and “inch worms” and “sub-mental baton twirlers.” But the director wanted his leading man to really lay into his fellow actors, whether it was a pre-teen girl he was teaching chess to or the naive runaway—Melodie St. Ann Celestine, played by Evan Rachel Wood—who shows up at his door needing a place to crash.

“At first it was odd because I never use those words,” David told MTV News. “It felt strange when they first came out of my mouth. But then I got very used to it and now I’m calling people ‘inch worms’ all the time!”

As surly as Boris becomes—and from browbeating his young chess pupils

Sam Worthington

13 June 2009 4:47 PM, PDT | From Celebrity Bio Examiner | See recent Celebrity Bio Examiner news

According to ethereal Buzz, 2009 will be the year of Sam Worthington. Never heard of him? Major roles in Terminator: Salvation and James Cameron’s Avatar may change that. Samuel Shane Worthington was born on August 2nd, 1976 in Perth, Australia. Growing up in Rockingham, the Aussie actor won a scholarship to The John Curtin School of Performing Arts in Fremantle -- he also studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. After graduation, Sam won acclaim for his role in The Belvoir St. Theater’s production of Judas Kiss. Film and television work followed in his native country, including roles in Bootmen (2000), Dirty Deeds (2002), Gettin’ Square (2003), and Thunderstruck (2004). American audiences saw him briefly in 2002’s Hart’s War, alongside Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell. In 2004, Sam won

Looking Ahead: 2009 Toronto Film Festival Line-Up Predictions

13 June 2009 | From ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news

- While Venice remains a fest that strictly selects auteur driven material, Toronto is a beast of a film festival that serves up a huge heaping plate of films rolled up in red carpets. Tiff is also a great place for journalists to follow up on cinematic experiences from Cannes and conduct some in-depth interviews as I plan to do with those behind the Tales From the Golden Age, A Prophet, Dogtooth, Fish Tank and Police, Adjectiv. They'll most likely receive their North American preems at this festival. So what are Cameron and Piers looking at? Read ahead. Usually reserved for the bigger films and Oscar buzz titles, the Galas and Special Presentations section in Toronto should be populated with: the long awaited thriller from Richard Kelly (The Box), Julie Taymor's The Tempest starring Helen Mirren and coincidentally it would make sense for her hubby Taylor Hackford to bring Love Ranch for show.

Larry David Laughs Off The Idea Of Playing The Riddler In ‘Batman 3’

12 June 2009 1:41 PM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

When the comedy “Whatever Works” hits theaters next Friday, Larry David will join a glamorous line of leading men in Woody Allen films, from Hugh Jackman to Colin Farrell to Leonardo DiCaprio. With Larry beyond a doubt entering the ranks of Hollywood heartthrob-dom, might this be the start of a new movie career for the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star?

That’s exactly what I wanted to know when I sat down to talk with David recently. Was there any type of project he wanted to pursue, any directors or actors he’d love to work along side? And then, in the middle of our chat, I threw him a loony curveball: what about taking on the role of the Riddler in “Batman 3”?

Why’d I ask? Well, maybe because the idea was in my head following Eddie Murphy’s recent comment about becoming—or not becoming—the Riddler. Maybe because I really,
