The Way Back review
26 December 2010 12:25 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Director Peter Weir's first film since Master & Commander boasts a walk to make the Lord Of The Rings films sweat. Here's our review of The Way Back...
Award-winning Australian filmmaker - and multiple Oscar nominee - Peter Weir should need no introduction, but he’s made a good go of avoiding the limelight, despite an impressive career. His prolific run of thrillers and dramas in the 1980s and 1990s gave the world the likes of Witness, Green Card and Dead Poet’s Society, but he’s become quite selective in the last 17 years, only releasing two films between the 1993 Jeff Bridges vehicle, Fearless, and his latest film, The Way Back.
Those two flicks, by the way, were The Truman Show and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a pair that displayed the man’s diverse talents, and his wide appeal, not to mention his knack of »
Owf’s 52 Must See Films of 2011
24 December 2010 11:00 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Usually around this time of the year we list maybe 10 or 20 films that we think are as absolute ‘Must See’s’ for what the next 12 months of cinema has to offer us but as the clock is ticking ever closer to midnight on 2010, we thought we would challenge ourselves a little further this time around. The question I posed to the Owf staff recently was… can Cinema in 2011 produce enough ‘Must See’ films to hit 52, which would ratio out to be just one film per week? That’s all we are hopeful for here… just one film every Friday that justifies us parting with our ever increasingly important cash in these tough economic times.
Did we manage to find 52? Kind of.
There’s certainly 52 films listed here but once we got to around 30, the whole thing became a struggle and we had to fill it out disappointingly with the usual array of over-budgeted summer spectacles, »

Review: 'How Do You Know' Is An Uneven But Ultimately Pleasant Experience
15 December 2010 12:17 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With a recent influx of middling romantic comedies, it's easy to forget how different the genre used to be. Now very polished and only a success if it stars 40 different actors/actresses each with three minutes of screen time, movies including "Green Card" and "Crossing Delancey" showed a different side of things. Instead of drowning audiences in star power, they offered a down-to-earth and complex female individual with an unfortunate penchant for choosing the wrong guy. It was easy to figure out who to root for, but there was something more to it. It may have been the comfortable aura… »
Emily Blunt Calms Nerves With Martini
3 December 2010 8:08 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Emily Blunt always has a "martini" before she goes to a film premiere. The star of "The Wolfman" gets nervous about attending red carpet events, but has found a way to calm her verves before stepping out in front of the paparazzi and fans.
"You step out of the car and it's bedlam," she said. "Everyone's got crazy eyes. Now, I have a martini before I leave - just to take the edge off it."
Despite her apparently glamorous lifestyle, the 27-year-old British actress insists she leads a relatively normal life. Rather than go to premieres, Emily prefers to spend time with her husband, American actor John Krasinski.
She added to Harper's Bazaar magazine, "I'm just like any other normal person. After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card. Then I'm being a wife; flying to Alaska to see John on set. He's »

Rachel Halliwell gave her daughters unusual names but Merrily doesn't like hers at all – and wants to change it when she's 18
Twelve years ago, when we named our daughter Merrily, it didn't occur to us that she might grow up not liking what she was called. She's the namesake of one of my husband's former work colleagues: a gregarious, attractive girl, who was funny and edgy and whose moniker seemed somehow to sum her up. We thought (hoped) that our own Merrily might turn out to be similarly unique.
The first sign of trouble came when Merrily was four and her reception-class teacher pulled me to one side to say she was refusing to answer to her name. "She's surrounded by Charlottes, Annabelles and Lucys," the teacher said, before adding, somewhat pointedly, "At this age children really don't like to feel they stand out."
That's when I felt the first »

Depardieu 'turned sex counsellor' for De Niro
16 September 2010 11:59 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Another problem shared by Gerard Depardieu
And now for a new and, one can say with some certainty, inexhaustible regular slot on LiS called Fermez la bouche, Gérard Depardieu!
The exclamation mark might suggest delight but, in truth, it's a slot that causes LiS much pain. Never could I have foreseen that I would be forced to tell the actor from one of history's greatest films to zeep the leep. I'm talking about Green Card, of course, a movie that proved that even when performing opposite someone who appeared to have learned their lines phonetically due to difficulties with the English language, Andie MacDowell is still the worse actor. And for that, Depardieu, gratitude is due.
But as Michael Corleone found in The Godfather Part II, sometimes one must destroy the person one loves the most.

Paradis: 'Depardieu Was Having A Bad Day'
6 September 2010 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Vanessa Paradis is playing peacekeeper between feuding French stars Gerard Depardieu and Juliette Binoche, insisting the actor admires the Oscar winner no matter what he says about her.
The Green Card star stunned movie fans last month when he lashed out at Binoche and her talents as an actress for no apparent reason.
He told Austrian magazine Profil, "I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years. She has nothing. Absolutely nothing! She is nothing."
The stunned actress responded to his hurtful rant during a British radio interview, stating, "I don't know him and I don't know what I did to him."
And now Paradis has stepped in to the feud, insisting Depardieu should be forgiven for having "a bad day".
She tells WENN, "I'm sure he loves her and I'm sure he admires her. He's a very free spirit." »

In 1941, the author and six other fellow prisoners escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk — a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds, untreated illnesses, and avoiding daily executions were everyday feats. Their march — over thousands of miles by foot — out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, »

Binoche "surprised" by Depardieu comments

Juliette Binoche has admitted that she was "surprised" by recent comments made about her by Gerard Depardieu. The Green Card actor recently criticised Binoche's success, saying that "she has nothing" to offer the world of film. She told Radio 4's Front Row: "[I was] surprised. I don't know him and I don't know what I did to him. "I understand you don't have to like everyone and you dislike someone's work. But I don't understand the violence [of his words] in a way.

Depardieu Takes Shot At The People's Actress

By Ali Naderzad - August 30, 2010
While giving an interview to Austrian magazine Profil during the Salzburg music festival, actor Gérard Depardieu (“Green card”, “La vie en rose”) made some pretty heinous comments about Juliette Binoche, an actress who for all intents and purposes is his female equivalent in both stature and experience--you might say she's the people's actress. Responding to a question about director Leos Carax (he directed Binoche in “The Lovers on the bridge”) Depardieu wondered what the fuss was all about with the “Chocolate” actress: “Please, can you explain to me what the secret of this actress is meant to be? I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years. She has nothing. Absolutely nothing!"
Shocking, yes, but it had to happen sooner or later. The actor has been on a tightrope walking act for decades, trying to balance crabby egotism »

Veteran actor Gerard Depardieu has slammed fellow French star Juliette Binoche, insisting he can't understand why she receives so much credit for her acting abilities.
The outspoken Green Card star has sparked a new celebrity feud after publicly slating the Oscar winner, calling her "nothing".
He reportedly tells British newspaper The Guardian, "I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years. She has nothing. Absolutely nothing! She is nothing."
He adds, "Compared with her (sic), Isabelle Adjani is great, even if she's totally nuts. Or Fanny Ardant - she is magnificent, extremely impressive. But Binoche? What has she ever had going for her?" »

The 61-year-old star of Cyrano de Bergerac and Green Card said that Binoche has "nothing" to offer in comparison with French actresses Isabelle Adjan and Fanny Ardent.

Mélanie Laurent Exclusive Interview; The Concert Star On Inglourious Basterds’ Worldwide Appeal, Experiencing Cannes With Quentin Tarantino & Becoming A Virtuoso Violinist In 3 Months
9 August 2010 5:30 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Inglourious Basterds burst onto theater screens around the world last year with heaping doses of gunpowder and star power, namely Brad Pitt, to set box offices on fire. But while familiar faces like Pitt, Mike Myers and others lit up the screen, two actors all but unknown to American audiences left an undeniable impression. Christoph Waltz’s Oscar-winning performance as the diabolically delicious Col. Hans Landa has been well documented. However, Mélanie Laurent’s portrayal of the main heroine Shosanna Dreyfus gave the film its conscience and heart.
Collider caught up with Laurent on the phone recently about her newest film, The Concert, which is in the midst of a national rollout. Hit the jump for the interview’s transcript and audio, along with news of her post-Basterds work, comparing careers with her good friend Marion Cotillard and Quentin Tarantino’s advice for going behind the camera.

Pity the Us with Piers Morgan heading its way | Hadley Freeman
16 June 2010 1:05 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Piers Morgan is simply a British celebrity that Britain does not get - whereas the Us, well, it thinks it does
While sounding increasingly like an avenging renegade from an 80s movie – probably one starring Bruce or Mel – Barack Obama has been passionate in his criticism of a certain British embarrassment. He has described its terrifying, contaminating, congealing invasion up America's innocent virgin shoreline as being "like 9/11", and he is quite right. He says that, for inflicting this slimy horror on poor, hapless Americans, the Us is owed £14bn – and I would say that is pretty modest. I just cannot understand why certain factions of the British press (and Norman Tebbit) have been so outraged about this: for God's sake, wouldn't you be demanding heavy reparations if some snooty little country dumped a load of Piers Morgan on you?

Kites: The Remix review
28 May 2010 12:15 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Brett Ratner went to Bollywood, and came back with a remix of one of its films. Luke checks out Kites: The Remix...
Brett Ratner and Bollywood cinema, together at last! Although maybe we shouldn't be that surprised by such a partnership. In a world where two rival parties at each other's throats one day can form a happy union within the week, the idea that Ratner, a man not known for his subtlety behind the camera, should be attracted to Bollywood cinema, where subtlety comes with an order of extravagant dance numbers and six different genres to go, isn't that far-fetched.
Officially billed as a "Brett Ratner Presentation", Kites: The Remix is more than just a rubber stamping by a filmmaker who happened to like what he saw. Ratner's involvement is to reduce Kites (can I drop the Remix bit? I feel like I'm advertising a dance album »
Exploring Your 'Green' Moviegoing Options On St. Patrick's Day
17 March 2010 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Originally a March 17th holiday for Catholics, the day has transformed over the years to become a general celebration by all of Irish culture. For many people, this means two things: whiskey (preferably Jameson) and Guinness.
Of course, St. Patrick's Day is also all about shrouding yourself in the color green. Each year, the Chicago River is dyed that color in celebration. In Seattle, they paint the day's parade route in green lines. Hell, this morning at breakfast in MTV's cafeteria, even the bagels were green. Bad choice there, I think. Who wants to eat a green bread product?
My point is, green is a vital part of St. Patrick's Day. Which is why, after the jump, I run through a sampling of the many variations of "green" movies you can find.
In Celebration
There's no better way for a fan of film to celebrate St. »
