Aaron Sorkin Confirmed To Write Ashton Kutcher-Free Steve Jobs Biopic For Sony
15 May 2012 6:25 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Is Steve Jobs the new Truman Capote? Ever since the pioneering genius behind Apple and Pixar passed away last year, Hollywood types have been jostling to make a film about him, just as we saw multiple biopics of the "In Cold Blood" writer a few years ago, with "Capote" and "Infamous." And indeed, one of them is already in front of cameras, with the unlikely casting of Ashton Kutcher as the polo-necked techno-billionaire. But a far more prestigious project is gearing up, and it's just landed what many would think of as the perfect screenwriter for the job.
A press release from Sony, per /Film, among others, announces that the studio has, after rumors of his involvement for many months, landed Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "The Social Network," to write their own Jobs biopic, entitled simply "Steve Jobs" which will be based on the biography by Walter Isaacson. »

Thn’s Top 10 Disney Movies: Part 2
5 May 2012 3:07 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To celebrate the release of the legendary Beauty And The Beast in 3D, Thn is taking a look back at the very best Disney films of all time. To appease the purists, we have omitted any joint productions with Pixar (we need to give the others a fighting chance, after all). There is a multitude of cinematic greats in The House of Mouse, and we have found the diamonds in the rough. Numbers 10 – 6 can be found here, below you will find the top five.
So why don’t you just ruminate, whilst we illuminate the possibilities.
5. Beauty And The Beast (1991)
Here it is. The movie whose return to the cinema we are celebrating at Thn. It will no doubt dazzle in 3D but even with a mere two dimensions, it is a magically romantic spectacle. We all know the story, let’s get down to what makes it so glorious. »

Mark Ruffalo Joins the 'Foxcatcher' Conspiracy
16 April 2012 7:08 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Mark Ruffalo will soon be wrestling with the truth.
The future "Avenger" is set to trade the ever-iconic "Hulk Smash!!" for some Olympic wrestling moves as he signs on to join director Bennett Miller's new drama, "Foxcatcher," according to The Playlist.
"Foxcatcher" is based on the strange but true story of John du Pont (Steve Carell), a stamp-collecting, bird-watching millionaire and paranoid schizophrenic who built a wrestling training facility (known as Team Foxcatcher) on his 800-acre Pennsylvania estate. In 1996, he murdered Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler David Schultz, a longtime friend whom du Pont believed was part of an international conspiracy to kill him.
Ruffalo will be playing the role of David Schultz, a part that many believed would be played by Channing Tatum. Tatum will actually be taking on the role of David's younger brother, Mark.
"Foxcatcher" was originally planned to be Bennett Miller's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "Capote, »

Into the Abyss – review
31 March 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Werner Herzog's documentary about a triple murder in Texas is a compelling reflection on capital punishment
Many film-makers cut their teeth directing documentaries before moving on to features. Relatively few continue making them in tandem with their fiction work. Louis Malle is perhaps the most notable example of a director who did, and there is a fascinating and fruitful interplay between the two aspects of his career stretching from his first movie, Le Monde du silence, the film of marine exploration he co-directed with Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1956, to his final film, Vanya on 42nd Street, in 1994, where it is hard to say whether it's a documentary about an Andre Gregory production of Chekhov in New York or a fictional film built around the play.
Born a decade after Malle and a key member of the German new wave that followed the French one, Werner Herzog's career has taken him along a similar path. »

In defence of Mike Daisey: never mind the facts, focus on the writing | Michael Wolff
19 March 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The This American Life controversy shows that the problem with journalism may not lie with facts or truth, but the form itself
Most journalists are terrible writers. Their copy is either overhauled by diligent editors, which produces something formulaic and generic, or not, and then it is often a sludge of convolutions and clichés, a graveyard of prose. This is the product that is so intensely, with almost religious fervor, defended by, well, journalists themselves.
Since journalists can't write, their virtue comes down to their presentation of facts. This becomes an excuse for writing poorly: facts are literal, and literalism arrives, often, at the expense of good prose. But facts are more important, no? They are, after all, facts. "Non-fiction should mean just that: facts and nothing but the facts," intoned Charles Isherwood in the New York Times, arguing, apparently, for something like a police report.
It is not a place that, »

23 High School Movies That Get The Passing Grade
15 March 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Considering it's where most of us (bar the weird home-schooled kids) spend our crucial formative years, where we have our first fights, our first loves, our first tentative steps into adulthood, it's no surprise that high school has long been a popular setting for movies. A range of genres (though generally leaning towards comedy) have taken place in those hallways, particularly from the 1980s onwards, when John Hughes, among others, made an entire career out of the lives and loves of 15-18 year olds.
The latest film to head back to class is "21 Jump Street" (review here) the big-screen reboot of the '80s TV show, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as youthful-looking cops who are sent back to high school in order to bust a drug-running ring. While you might assume this to be another lazy remake, you'd be very wrong, as Tatum, Hill, co-writer Michael Bacall, »

[Review] The Snowtown Murders
1 March 2012 7:30 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Was that a real kangaroo? I kept wondering that as John Bunting (Daniel Henshall) hacks off the paws and head of the dead creature as his girlfriend’s 16-year-old son Jamie Vlassakis (Lucas Pittaway) looks on. He will join John in dumping the bloody, butchered remains on the front porch of a known pedophile. Later, John watches smugly as the man moves away.
Director Justin Kurzel’s debut feature The Snowtown Murders (winner of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize) observes the grim lives of these Australians, who live in what can only politely be called a slum. Based on true events, Snowtown’s minimalist, no-frills, “documentary”-style approach perfectly captures their nowhere lives and inevitable tragedy as Jamie and his family join Bunting in his self-styled neighborhood watch endeavors; what follows is a series of vicious murders punctuated by horrific torture.
The film is based on events which occurred »

What's Viral Right Now: Quentin Tarantino's Trunk Shots, an Insane Game of Ping-Pong & the Greatest Movie Freakouts of All Time
29 February 2012 11:30 AM, PST | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
In Cold Blood and Goodfellas used the trunk shot to their advantage, but the one director who has made it his calling card is Quentin Tarantino. The Pulp Fiction filmmaker's trademark Pov angle has appeared in all of the director's biggest films — including Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, From Dusk Till Dawn, and more. Video wizard kogognada (of Breaking Bad Pov video montage fame) created another great supercut, which shows just how often Tarantino's camera looks up at his characters. Check it below. [BuzzFeed] Warning: Nsfw due to language. When two buddies start a friendly game of ping-pong, things quickly turn violent. We're not just talking John McEnroe foul-mouthed kind of aggressive; we're talking lightning speed fireballs and...

84th Academy Awards Nominations; Hugo Leads With 11
24 January 2012 7:09 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Nominations for the 84th Academy Awards were announced today (Tuesday, January 24) by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak and 2010 Oscar® nominee Jennifer Lawrence. Brace yourselves for the surprises and omissions. The nominees were a little more than crazy this year to say the least – nine best picture nominees! This year’s balloting rules allowed for the possibility of between five and ten Best Picture nominees, and for the first time in Academy history, nine films have been nominated in that category.
Now for the shockers. No Michael Fassbender in the Best Actor category…no Albert Brooks in Best Supporting Actor category…no Adventures Of Tintin or Cars 2 in the Animated category! Terrence Malick and The Tree Of Life both saw some love with 2 nods this morning. How grand that Rooney Mara, Demián Bichir, Jonah Hill, and Nick Nolte are coming to the big party this year! »

Mad Men returns – welcome back Don Draper
11 January 2012 3:28 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Mad Men will be returning for its fifth season in March. I can hardly wait for Peggy, Joan and the rest to return to our screens
After all the fags and booze, it's little wonder Mad Men needed to go away, have a lie-down and think about what it had done. Last year passed without a new series. We were warned by Matthew Weiner that this would be the case, but every now and then there was a sharp reminder of its absence. It was missed when the shows that were compared to it inevitably fell short (Pan Am and The Hour, in particular); when films like The Adjustment Bureau tried to cash in on the suave-men-in-suits idea by peppering the cast with the show's actors; and when Jon Hamm's scenery-chomping performance in Bridesmaids suggested for one terrifying moment that there was life outside Don Draper.
