The Monk – review
27 April 2012 6:16 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Vincent Cassel brings his unsmiling intensity to Matthew Lewis's classic errant 18th-century monk
Dominik Moll is the German-born film-maker who created the elegant noir suspense movies Lemming (2005) and Harry, He's Here to Help (2000) – now he has adapted The Monk, by Matthew Lewis, the classic English gothic novel of the 18th century. It stars Vincent Cassel as Friar Ambrosio, a charismatic monk tempted by Satan and the lures of the flesh. With an exclamatory orchestral score by Alberto Iglesias, this feverishly intense movie has a tablespoon of 1970s art-porn; the work of Walerian Borowczyk comes to mind, and Moll could well be a fan of The Omen. Cassel brings to the leading role his accustomed unsmiling intensity, as he comes to terms with the arrival of a strange new monk who wears an eerie face mask after being horribly disfigured in a fire. It is not a story of great depth or passion, »

The Monk Review
24 April 2012 10:58 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Dominik Moll
Starring: Vincent Cassel, Déborah François, Joséphine Japy and Sergi Lopez
Running Time: 101 mins
Certificate: 15
Synopsis: Abandoned at birth and raised in a monastery, Ambrosio (Cassel) soon becomes a well-respected monk himself; admired far and wide for his relentless adherence to the rules of the order, and oratorial skills. However, an ever-darkening shadow is soon cast over him, and as he struggles to maintain his virtuous ways, his sanctity begins to give way to fear and desire…
This adaptation of the eponymous novel by Matthew Gregory Lewis, is a well-honed, character-driven thriller, which examines the hypocritical nature of organised religion through its protagonist, Ambrosio. However, there is a discernible reticence pervading the narrative that detracts from the overall effect of the film.
This restraint comes in the form of Ambrosio’s inner workings, and their relation to his fall from grace. In the source material, he knows he »

Exclusive Interview: Composer Lucas Vidal
5 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Lucas Vidal may not be a name that you’re familiar with at the moment but I’d put money on the fact that it’s a name you’re going to hear a lot more from in the coming years.
Lucas Vidal is a 28 year old Spanish composer whose recent work includes Hollywood movies The Raven and The Cold Light of Day which stars the latest Superman, Henry Cavill and movie legend Bruce Willis (and is out tomorrow 6th April in the UK).
I got to sit down with Lucas yesterday to chat through how he got into making music for the movies, where his influences come from and what he wants to do next. It was an absolute pleasure chatting with him as we talked at length about the many of the challenges that he has faced with his music and with his health which he has overcome »

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy – (2-Disc Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)
20 March 2012 1:45 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Blu-ray Review
Directed by: Tomas Alfredson
Cast: Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy
Running Time: 2 hrs 8 mins
Rating: R
Due Out: March 20, 2012
Plot: After being forced into retirement, veteran MI6 lieutenant George Smiley (Oldman) is called upon to find the mole within “the Circus.”
Who’S It For? Fans of John le Carré’s novel of the same name should be pleased by the adaptation. People who enjoy a smart, intricately-plotted spy film that doesn’t rely on fast-cut action or explosions should also make a point to see it.
Movie:
As I sat down to write this I found myself at a loss as to where to begin. That isn’t because there is a dearth of commendable elements, but rather because the film is blessed with an overabundance. John le Carré’s novel is one of my favorites, so I could go »

DVD Obscura: Rogues and Thrones and Gangs…and Penguins
14 March 2012 9:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
New: Almodóvar at His Darkest The wonderfully twisted The Skin I Live In (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment; now available) sees brilliant Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar working in a darker vein than usual with this bizarre tale of a plastic surgeon (Antonio Banderas) and his beautiful, imprisoned creation (Elena Anaya). But the auteur is still working at full power, eliciting Banderas’ best live-action performance in ages and giving us the gorgeous art direction (and another great Alberto Iglesias score) we’ve come to expect. The DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack features a seven-part “making of” doc, and only the Blu-Ray also includes a lecture and Q&A that Almodóvar gave at USC last year. He’s one of the more articulate filmmakers...

Review: The Skin I Live In (Blu-ray/DVD)
6 March 2012 8:32 AM, PST | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, The Skin I Live In is a cold, calculating thriller that embraces the director’s trademark visual style and marries it beautifully with a mystery plot worthy of Hitchcock via Georges Franju’s seminal Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face).
For fans of Almodovar or foreign art house cinema at large who have any misgivings about this “genre” project, bear in mind Almodovar is a fan of cinema at large, and understands the language of cinema almost better than any director alive today. For fans of horror films, know that an earlier film of Almodovar, titled Matador, has Antonio Banderas masturbating while watching bits of Mario Bava’s Blood and Black Lace and Jess Franco’s Bloody Moon, so Almodovar is obviously horror literate. Any thoughts of, “Oh that art house guy from Spain is trying to make a horror movie” can be dispelled now. »

This week, we turn our focus to Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar, who has reunited with former collaborator Antonio Banderas for The Skin I Live In, which finds the acclaimed director wading further into the depths of genre than perhaps ever before, folding in aspects of the mad-doctor subgenre and even…torture porn? We’ll also rewind to talk about Bad Education, the writer-director’s 2004 effort.

The 84th Annual Academy Award Winners
27 February 2012 8:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The 84th Annual Academy Awards ended up being one of the most entertaining Academy Award shows that I've seen in years, even though films I wanted to win didn't. I was rooting for Martin Scorsese and Hugo this year, but I knew that The Artist would end up taking home a majority of the big awards. In the end, each one of these films took home 5 Awards, Hugo took home the more technical ones though. I think it was a pretty easy year to predict the winners.
It was great to see Billy Crystal back up on stage; he really did a great job bringing light, fun entertainment that everyone could enjoy. Crystal was awesome and one of the best parts of the show. The guy is classic comedy. He helped bring back everything that the Oscars should be.
Here's the full list of nominees with the winners in bold. »

The Artist and Hugo Dominate at the 2012 Academy Awards
27 February 2012 6:51 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
If, for some crazy reason, you weren't glued to your TV last night watching the Oscars, here's a quick rundown of what you missed: not much. As expected, The Artist ended up winning most of the major awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, although Hugo managed to snag a lot of the technical awards. In the end, they finished in a tie with 5 wins a piece. The only real surprise of the night was Meryl Streep's Best Actress win over Viola Davis for her performance in The Iron Lady. Other than that, it was somewhat a yawn-inducing show, with Billy Crystal doing a serviceable but unremarkable job as host. I think the clear highlight of the night came on the red carpet where Sacha Baron Cohen "accidentally" spilled Kim Jong-Il's ashes on Ryan Seacrest. Were you happy with this year's Academy Award winners? What did you think of the show overall? »

84th Academy Awards Winners – The Artist Takes Best Picture
27 February 2012 1:26 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Crowded House said it best in the lyrics “Hey now, hey now, don’t dream its over.” Yes, the awards season officialy came to an end tonight at the Hollywood and Highland Center in Hollywood, CA. Tears, jubilation, substance and style were all memorable moments at the 84th Academy Awards hosted by Billy Crystal. With Sacha Baron Cohen’s shenanigans earlier on the red carpet and no huge upsets, Cirque du Soleil’s performance was the highlight of the evening.
The Oscar for Best Motion Picture of the Year went to “The Artist” produced by Thomas Langmann and Michel Hazanavicius won for Achievement in Directing. The movie becomes the first silent film to take the gold since the original Oscar ceremony 83 years ago when Wings won.
Christopher Plummer was the winner for a Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in “Beginners”; Octavia Spencer, was the »

2012 Oscars – The Winners
27 February 2012 12:53 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Well the hoopla is over for another year as Hollywood relishes in its self congratulatory extravagance with a ceremony that celebrates all that is “good” about the industry (and a ceremony that seems to ignore Everything joe public thinks is good). As predicted The Artist walked away with the most awards whilst – thank god – The Muppets picked up the best original song award. It’s also nice to see Christopher Plummer pick up his First Academy Award for his role in Beginners – definitely long-overdue methinks.
Anyway, here are the winners in full:
Best Picture:
The Artist Moneyball The Descendants The Tree of Life Midnight in Paris The Help Hugo Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close War Horse
Actress:
Meryl Streep – The Iron Lady Viola Davis – The Help Michelle Williams – My Week With Marilyn Glenn Close – Albert Nobbs Rooney Mara – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Best Actor:

The Artist wins Oscar for best score
26 February 2012 7:15 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Artist's composer Ludovic Bource wins the 2012 Oscar for the best original score at the 84th Academy Awards
Oscars 2012 coverage continues on our live blog
The Artist has won the Oscar for best score at the Academy Award ceremony currently taking place at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Ludovic Bource is the composer of the music for the otherwise largely silent black-and-white French film, and was the strong favourite for the award after taking the Bafta and Golden Globe.
Bource defeated a lineup including Hollywood heavyweights John Williams The Adventures of Tintin, War Horse) and Howard Shore (Hugo), and well as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy's Alberto Iglesias. The score, however, created controversy after Kim Novak objected to the inclusion of a passage inspired by Bernard Herrmann's score for the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo.
