Weekly Poll Results: Best Will Smith Movie
31 May 2012 6:51 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Last week's poll was a tight race between two blockbusters pitting Will Smith versus aliens, but in the end it was Roland Emmerich's Independence Day that came away victorious. It edged out Men in Black by a small margin, followed by a somewhat surprising choice in third place: Tony Scott's Enemy of the State. Bad Boys and I Am Legend rounded out the top 5. I had kind of expected Michael Mann's Ali to end up a little higher in the results since it earned Will Smith his first Oscar nomination, but seeing Six Degrees of Separation at the bottom of the list probably reflects the fact that not many people have seen it (myself included). Peter Berg's Hancock also did not fare particularly well, and at this point the disdain for the film has been quite well documented. Do you agree with these results? 1. Independence Day »

Men In Black III hits theaters tomorrow, and director Barry Sonnenfeld could not be more thrilled…with how crazy successful he helped Will Smith become. “I’m so excited that I get to bring Will back to the big screen after four years of not being in the theaters,” Sonnenfeld gushed at the film’s premiere, reminiscing about the young actor he hired for the first Mib back in 1997. “In fact, we cast him from Fresh Prince. He hadn’t been in Independence Day or anything.” Joked Sonnenfeld, “I think Will Smith pretty much owes me his career.” The Hancock actor might not agree with the “entire career” part, but Smith definitely recognizes the films’ influence on his mega-stardom. “He hooked me up pretty good,” Will admitted. “This franchise is probably hands down the biggest franchaise of my career.” Laughs Smith, “I owe him a little bit. »

Will Smith Slaps Reporter For Gettin' Jiggy With Him
18 May 2012 7:46 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Don't try to get too fresh with the Fresh Prince!
Will Smith has a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, but a certain Ukrainian reporter got a rare taste of the "Ali" star stinging like a bee at the Moscow premiere of "Men in Black III."
The reporter in question, whom TMZ claims is known for this kind of "schtick," got a little too affectionate with the star on the red carpet, which prompted Smith to slap him and ask, "What the hell is your problem, buddy?" Smith tried to immediately laugh off the incident with the next reporters in line, but he was obviously a little rattled ("He's lucky I didn't sucker-punch him").
Oddly enough (or perhaps not oddly at all), this incident has us recalling the whole thing that went on with "Six Degrees of Separation" when Smith insisted that he wouldn't do any man-on-man kissing scenes. »

Juliette Binoche & Clive Owen In Talks To Star In Fred Schepisi's School-Set Drama 'Words And Pictures'
24 April 2012 8:19 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
In the 1980s and 1990s, Australian director Fred Schepisi was something of a big deal. The 73-year-old filmmaker got his start back in Oz with 1976's "The Devil's Playground," made his U.S. debut with the underrated Western "Barbarosa," and went on to make acclaimed, successful pictures like "Roxanne," "A Cry In The Dark," "The Russia House" and "Six Degrees Of Separation," as well as a few that didn't quite connect in the same way, like "I.Q." and "A Fish Called Wanda" semi-sequel "Fierce Creatures." The filmmaker's been relatively quiet in the last ten years, with 2003's Michael/Kirk/Cameron Douglas disaster "It Runs In The Family" and 2005's acclaimed HBO drama "Empire Falls," which featured Paul Newman's final live-action performance, as his only output.
But with his latest film "The Eye Of The Storm," a return to Australia that stars Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Sam Neill, given »

Blu-ray Review: Carnage
13 March 2012 5:42 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
One danger of transposing stage plays to the big screen is the challenge of creating something cinematic from a form that is inherently more contained. The challenge is even greater with plays whose action focuses on only a very few characters. Typically these kinds of films ring really false to me, the most glaring example in my own mind is Six Degrees of Separation, which, in spite of some great performances, still never manages to outgrow its stage roots. There is the rare occasion when these types of films work, however, and Carnage joins that small league of films, like David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, that succeed in doing what is so difficult.Two couples meet following an playground altercation in which one child hits another »
Will Smith: former Fresh Prince whose career threatens to turn stale
7 March 2012 2:50 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He's teamed up with Tommy Lee Jones for Men in Black III, but Will Smith is too talented to be wasting his time on blockbusters
In the newly released full-length trailer for Men in Black III, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones sit at a bar reprising the roles of Agent J and Agent K respectively, the intergalactic counter-terrorists they first played in 1997. "I am getting too old for this," says J. "I can only imagine how you feel." Yet the issue for Smith is not that he's gotten too old for this – at 43, he looks like he's been trapped in amber since the Parents Just Don't Understand video – but that, just maybe, he's gotten too good for this.
It's almost hard to remember at this point, but the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a two-time Academy Award nominee, once for Ali in 2001, then again for The Pursuit of Happyness »

'Footloose' Blu-ray Review
6 March 2012 12:44 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Craig Brewer has shown with his previous movies -- Hustle and Flow and Black Snake Moan -- how music is a reflection of our personality and the way we use it to express ourselves. But his latest feature is all about freedom -- the freedom to dance your ass off. If you've seen the 1984 original, you surely remember the basic premise of Footloose. Renn McCormick (professional dancer Kenny Wormald) is the new kid in town, a city-slicker relocating to a small town where dancing is illegal. He meets preacher's daughter Ariel ("Dancing with the Stars" and country music extraordinaire Julianne Hough), battles her asshole boyfriend and fights the system. He's a rebel. But he has a cause. Unlike in the original, the film's opening credits actually show the party and ensuing car crash that kick-started the music and dance ban, though it's set to the classic "Footloose" song by Kenny Loggins. »
