Best of the Decade #4: Lost in Translation (2003)
24 December 2009 10:16 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
After a promising directorial debut with The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola proved it was no fluke when her follow-up film, the 2003 masterpiece Lost in Translation became something of a phenomenon. It opened in just 23 theatres, but it ended up grossing almost $120 million worldwide. Coppola had officially stepped out of her father's shadow and found her own voice, but she also established herself as one of the most exciting and prominent female directors working today. A lot of disparate things came together to make this movie such a huge success, but there's no question that one of the most important decisions Coppola made was casting Bill Murray as washed-up movie star Bob Harris. The story goes that he was a difficult man to track down, despite the fact that his career had been revived (and somewhat transformed) with Wes Anderson's Rushmore, but Sofia Coppola's persistence paid off (both for »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

R. Kelly, Lady Gaga And Raekwon: 10 In 2009
23 December 2009 9:58 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
2009 is coming to a close, which means that it's time to check in on what the favorite albums, artists, songs and moments were among the fine folks in the MTV Newsroom. Be sure to check out James Montgomery's definitive year-end list for 2009, and enjoy the "10 In 2009" series that will be running over the next two weeks.
It was a weird year for me, as I was unemployed for the first part of it. So I went from not thinking at all about music to only thinking about music all the time. So it took me a while to even remember what happened in February (a lot, as it turned out). But anyway, here's the list.

Marvel writers excited about arrival of 'shared universe' in Avengers movie
22 December 2009 11:27 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
While we have seen superhero teams on screen before in X-Men and Fantastic Four, we've not yet seen several heroes crossing over from their own films into one ensemble movie.
This will happen in The Avengers, the 2012 Marvel Studios team-up movie bringing together Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and possibly Hawkeye, Edward Norton's Hulk, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and others.
Staff at Marvel Comics are excited to see how the concept of uniting all those characters will work on the big screen.
In an interview with Newsarama, several of them have given their views on the Avengers film.
Writer Brian Michael Bendis, who for five years has been the 'architect' of the Avengers comic, is part of the creative committee that consults on movies in development at Marvel Studios, including The Avengers.

Hollywood sheds its prejudice
22 December 2009 9:40 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
As Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver win plaudits for their roles as older women in physical relationships with younger men, one of the most enduring barriers in Hollywood's movie-making history is at last being torn down
When a film star seduces someone 20 or 30 years their junior on screen, the audience doesn't bat an eyelid. In fact, it is an established cinema convention. If the older star is a woman, however, public reaction is harder to predict. But now Hollywood, so long accused of sexism because of the way it treats female talent, finally seems prepared to tackle a subject once regarded as beyond the pale: sex and the sixtysomething woman.
Sigourney Weaver, who stars in this month's new sci-fi blockbuster, Avatar, has revealed that in her next film she is to play the lover of an actor little more than half her age. In Cedar Rapids, Weaver, 60, is cast opposite »

Iron Man 2 Will Not Be in 3D
22 December 2009 3:55 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Director Jon Favreau did not shoot Iron Man 2 in 3-D, but it was rumored that the movie might still be released in the format after it was revealed that a one-minute segment of the picture was converted into 3-D as a test. Now, the 3-d-centric site Market Saw is reporting that the sequel to Iron Man will not be released in 3D after all.
Got some rather bad news for S3D fans out there. I have it from a very good source (one very much in the know) that Iron Man 2 will Not be made in stereoscopic 3-D.
Iron Man 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, and Scarlett Johansson.

Brittany Murphy: a life in clips
21 December 2009 6:14 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Clueless and Sin City actor has died of a heart attack aged 32. We look back at her key roles on film
Brittany Murphy was not one of the world's great actors. Nor, in recent years, was she even especially visible. But she was a performer of immense charm, with a knockout smile and a chuckling, bee-bop voice it was difficult not to be won over by.
For a spell in the early 90s, Murphy established herself as one of Hollywood's freshest, most engaging mainstream leads – a doll-eyed ditz with a hint of vaguely filthy goofiness. She was Scarlett Johansson a half-generation older: she shared that actor's old-school Hollywood glamour, the big curves on a little frame, and the brains behind the fluff. Both even had singing careers. But while Johansson teamed up with some solid mentors, and got films of real credibility under her belt, Murphy struggled to cement a career that, »

Trailer Park: Runaway Hot Tubs and Iron in the Hood
19 December 2009 1:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The operative phrase here is "bad ass." Bad ass hero, villain (I see Mickey Rourke is still hitting the gym) and sidekick (yup, we get to see a bit of War Machine). Scarlett Johansson is looking fine as Black Widow and I can't complain about the Iron Man dancing girls. Gary Shandling as a Senator Stern (possibly named for one-time Iron Man comic scribe Roger Stern?) is a nice touch too. Watch for this one on May 7.
Robin Hood
Ridley Scott has a gift for spectacle which is why this trailer manages to work so well with only a smidgen of voice over and no dialogue. Lots of stylish action on display for this latest adaptation of the classic tale which features Russell Crowe in the lead. The arrows start flying on May 14.
