Iron Sky Review
23 May 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Timo Vuorensola
Cast: Götz Otto, Julia Dietze, Christopher Kirby, Peta Sergeant, Udo Kier
Running time: 93 minutes
Certificate: 15
Synopsis: When Us astronauts discover a Nazi base of the Dark Side of the Moon, the Fourth Reich send Adler (Otto) and idealistic Renate (Dietze) back to Earth with hostage Washington (Kirby), a black astronaut sent into space as a PR stunt. As Adler plans the invasion, Renate learns the truth about her Aryan race…
The most surprising thing about Iron Sky is not the high concept goofiness, but the fact that it’s really good, and for the right reasons. Myself and my esteemed man-date for the evening, Sir Tom Fordy, didn’t know what tone to expect. But the opening sequence laid our fears to rest, as it features the least convincing space-suits since Marty McFly scared the bejesus out of his dad. Iron Sky is a knockabout yarn and revels in being so. »

Jaden Smith Tried Desperately To Get Song In Mum's New Film
18 May 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor-turned-rapper Jaden Smith was desperate to use his mother Jada Pinkett Smith's new Madagascar movie to boost his music career and begged her to convince studio boss Jeffrey Katzenberg to include one of his new songs on the film's soundtrack.
The Karate Kid star, 13, has already established himself in Hollywood and now he's hoping to follow his sister Willow in to the pop charts with his first solo song Give it to Em.
Smith was eager to have a track featured in Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, in which his mum voices Gloria the hippopotamus, but Pinkett Smith was forced to reject his desperate plea because it came just days before the animated family comedy's world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Friday.
The Matrix Reloaded actress reveals her kids loved the first two installments of the DreamWorks Animation franchise, and she was "flattered" the teen even asked to be included in the project.
Speaking from Cannes on Friday, she told America's Today breakfast show, "They're much older (now), but I was very, very proud and flattered when my son called me the other day and asked me to make a call to Jeffrey Katzenberg to put one of his songs at the end of Madagascar, not realising that it's coming out in two weeks!
"I was like, 'Listen, it's done, it's over, Ok?' He's like, 'I know you can call Jeffrey and get it done mommy, I can put a song on there.' I'm like, 'No, baby, you can't.' But I was actually really flattered that he thinks it's still cool." »
Take the Red Pill and Wash it Down with ‘The Matrix’ Drinking Game
15 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
This past spring marked the thirteenth year since the release of the groundbreaking cyberpunk actioner The Matrix. This seems a bit arbitrary, but if American Pie can have a reunion of sorts thirteen years down the line, why not take this opportunity to revisit one of the true game-changers in cinema history? If you’re brave enough, follow this white rabbit of a drinking game through all three films, though we don’t recommend you do them in quick succession. It’s going to be tough to get through that first Agent Smith playground battle in The Matrix Reloaded as it is. Still, it’s a great time to pull out your VHS, DVD or Blu-ray of the original The Matrix and enjoy watching it from the desert of the real. You just might start to believe that you are not in Los Angeles in 1999. And now, to cover our butts… This »

Discuss: Does The R-Rating For 'Prometheus' Mean The Film Is Doomed At The Box Office?
8 May 2012 9:46 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The hopes and prayers of sci-fi geeks and cinephiles were answered yesterday, as news officially came that Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" had landed an R-rating, as all four "Alien" movies did before it. The director had been non-committal about what rating he was shooting for, and even notoriously interference-happy studio boss Tom Rothman, in a sign of the new filmmaker-friendly side from 20th Century Fox, had promised that the film would "not be compromised," regardless of whatever rating it received. And so it came to pass: the MPAA have given it an R for "sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language."
But for all their public pride and bravado, Fox execs have to be a little nervous. While there's no news on what the studio might have spent on the film, it's likely to be in the $150-200 million range, like most other big movies this year. And with an R-rating, »

Movie Ticket Reveals Ridley Scott’s Prometheus Will Be Rated R
6 May 2012 9:09 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There's been heavy speculation over whether Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror film Prometheus would receive an R-rating. The blockbuster film carries a big price tag, and a PG-13 rating would probably mean a much higher take at the box office. However, when Steve spoke with 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman, Rothman said the movie "will not be compromised either way," and the studio would accept whatever the MPAA handed down. According to a pre-sale ticket stub, the MPAA has handed down an R-rating for Prometheus. I'm not sure if that automatically makes the movie better, but I'm happy for the opportunity to see an ambitious summer blockbuster with an R-rating. The last R-rated sci-fi summer blockbuster I can recall is 2003's The Matrix Reloaded. However, it's late and I'm tired, so I might be forgetting another R-rated summer sci-fi movie released since then. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th. »

Harry Lennix to play Henry IV
5 May 2012 9:28 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In a recent interview, actor Harry Lennix revealed that:
“Right now I’m doing what I think is the first black Shakespeare film ever done, which is called “H4”. It’s a reconfiguration using Shakespeare’s language of “Henry IV Part I and Part II”. I play Henry IV in it along with an estimable cast including Keith David, Angus Macfadyen from “Braveheart”, we have a number of young and talented actors.”
Harry Lennix also said that he's producing the film.
On IMDb, Michael Dorn is listed as playing the part of Henry IV, but Shakespeare fansite Bardfilm clarifies:
“Michael Dorn will not be playing Henry IV in the finished version of the film. Scheduling conflicts prevent him from being available for the reshoots. But Harry Lennix, who played Aaron (and played him brilliantly) in Julie Taymor’s Titus, will take over the role.”
So, effectively, this is Commander Lock »
Review: Game of Thrones, Season 2 Episode 3
22 April 2012 10:40 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Based off of George R.R. Martin’s 1,000-page opus A Clash of Kings, the second season of HBO's Game of Thrones takes the first year’s intricate plot lines, character shadings, and thematic undercurrents and simultaneously expands and deepens them to a ridiculously exponential degree. Or, at least, it’s supposed to – the actual doing just may prove to be a ways off from the source material’s being.
This column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) acts as a companion piece to both series, novel and television, analyzing the continuing story of the War of the Five Kings – and how it fares in the transition from the page to the screen. What it will not do is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.
Given the twists and turns, betrayals and sacrifices that await in the next eight episodes, such illumination will be needed. »

Anghus Houvouras on why film fans need to stop their relentless pursuit of the next big thing...
The Summer movie season is almost upon us. Even though technically Summer doesn’t start until late June, the big budget popcorn movie machine is already cranking out enormously budgeted blockbusters. We’ve already had a handful of epic productions released. March brought us the sinking ship that was John Carter and the worldwide smash that is The Hunger Games and in two dozen countries you can already watch the alien invasion flick Battleship (which doesn’t open up in the States until mid May).
In just a few weeks we will see the worldwide release of the much anticipated Avengers. Everyone’s talking about it. Expectations are high and the film is being talked about endlessly online. One of my friends said something to me the other day that struck me as odd. »

20 of the biggest sci-fi cinema disappointments of the last 20 years
10 April 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
They appeared to promise so much, but sadly delivered so little. We take a look back at a few of the last 20 years’ biggest sci-fi disappointments...
Every year sees its fair share of good and bad sci-fi movies. But every so often, a movie comes along that, either because of its premise, its cast, its filmmaking pedigree or a mixture of all three, sounds so promising that we eagerly anticipate its arrival. Inevitably, there’s also a small percentage of such films which fail to live up to their early promise.
This list is devoted to this peculiar category of sci-fi movie: the ones that could have been so much better than they turned out. And to prevent the list from getting too long and rambling, we’ve restricted our selection to 20, and restricted the time frame to the last two decades. Your opinions will almost certainly vary, so feel »
Stanley Kubrick: Master of Contradictions
9 April 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Who are the great American film directors? More to the point, who do we think are the great American film directors? Well, there’s Ford, of course, the Zeus of the American pantheon, by turns comic, epic, maudlin and humane. Then there’s Welles, the ill-fated genius, abused by producers but beloved of critics. Spielberg, even in his seventh decade, is still the boy wonder; Scorsese the mad scientist. Griffith is the wise forefather, deeply flawed but idolized nonetheless, while Hawks is ageless, just as sly and self-assured as he was at the time of “The Big Sleep” (1946).
Kubrick, however, beats them all.
Is there anyone more respected or, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, recognizable? Turn on any Stanley Kubrick movie and you should know instantly, whether you’ve seen it before or not, who the film’s director is. The peerless, pristine images; the long, empty corridors; the upturned, »

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #140
8 April 2012 8:50 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
This week I don't have anything specific to feature, but I did watch David Lean's Blithe Spirit and This Happy Breed, two films in Criterion's recent David Lean Directs Noel Coward box set, but I still have In Which We Serve to watch before I can review the set. I also started watching Rainer Werner Fassbinder's World On a Wire, but still have about two-and-a-half hours left to watch in the 212-minute feature. Then, over the weekend I caught parts of The Matrix Reloaded on television and that's about it. Sorry I don't have more to share, but hopefully you can add a few thoughts to the conversation. Anyone catch Titanic in 3-D? I was actually going to try (and still might tonight) but Easter weekend festivities got in the way. »

'American Idol' exit Q&A with Heejun Han: 'It's bittersweet' -- Video
30 March 2012 7:18 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
I wish I could handle bad news with the levity that Heejun Han displayed last night. Heejun, the 22-year-old Korean American from Flushing, N.Y., was eliminated Thursday night after the judges chose not to save him. About an hour and a half after the show, Heejun strolled into the media room pretending to sob into a white handkerchief. “No questions!” he shouted dramatically.
Thus began a series of interviews during which Heejun deadpanned one witty remark after another. “I’m going to try out for The Voice next year,” he joked to one reporter. When one journalist asked Heejun »

'Prometheus' Might Get R-Rating, Says Ridley Scott
29 March 2012 7:36 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Under 17 and thinking that "Prometheus" looks like the must-see movie of the summer? Some potentially bad news: director Ridley Scott says that the future blockbuster could get slapped with an audience-restricting R-rating.
In an interview with Empire, which has "Prometheus" on its May cover, Scott revealed that the film's rating is still up for debate.
"Right now I don't know where we are," Scott said. "The question is, do you go for the PG-13, or do you go for what it should be, which is R? Financially it makes quite a difference, or the risk makes quite a difference, and yet you also have to apply the question -- if you soften it, will you financially suffer? As opposed to just going for the throat and gambling. Essentially, it's kinda R."
Scott allowed that it's not just blood and guts that would force an R-rating, but "stressful" ideas. Considering the »

Top 50 Most-Hated Films of All-Time
5 March 2012 9:34 PM, PST | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
TotalFilm magazine put together a list of the top 50 movies that fans love to hate the most. These aren't necessarily bad films, but with a movie like "Avatar," there's going to be a lot of hate, especially since its the highest-grossing and James Cameron is the director. Of course, the list does have a few stinkers, like Nicolas Cage's unintentionally funny "The Wicker Man" and M. Night Shymalan's "Lady in the Water." Both couldn't make their budgets back and both couldn't get a RottenTomatoes fresh rating over 25%. It's not surprising that "Twilight," "Titanic," "X-Men 3," "Transformers 2" and "Batman and Robin" are on the list, mostly because fans fill comments sections with hate every time one of these is mentioned. But the top two spots were saved for the work of George Lucas. Check out the full list below. 50. Daredevil (2003) 49. Superman Returns (2006) 48. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) 47. Terminator: Salvation (2010) 46. Exorcist II: The Heretic »
The Raven Review
5 March 2012 1:02 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: James McTeigue
Cast: John Cusack, Luke Evans and Alice Eve
Running time: 111 minutes
Certificate: 15
Synopsis: Set in the 19th century, a string of murders take place with a touch of dark familiarity to them for Detective Emmet Fields. The gory details mimic the writings of author and poet Edgar Allan Poe, prompting suspicion that the creator himself had been inspired by his own imagination. However, when questioned Poe is quickly scratched from the suspect list after another slaughter takes place, which makes him the only man with any idea of what may occur next. Aiding the detective to track down the killer, Poe quickly becomes more involved than anticipated when a woman close to his heart becomes the next target.
In the beginning, the echo of a woman’s scream lines the breadth of your spine, with a ripple of chilling desperation. You are thrown into the early workings of something truly horrifying. »

by Ryan Rigley
Put on your best outfit and break out the booze. It's time to party! This weekend marks the release of the Todd Phillips produced found footage movie, "Project X" — and it could very well be the best party movie of all time, what with cars in the pool, midgets in the oven, and thousands of screaming teenagers. Looks like one hell of a good time to us!
There have been an abundance of crazy party scenes throughout movie history. Whether they take place in a college frat house or outer space, these party scenes are memorable mostly because of how flat out awesome it would be to attend them. Here's a list of the top five party scenes that we would love to have been a part of.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Just Needs a New Cut: A Movie Review
1 March 2012 8:00 AM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Directors: Mark Neveldine, and Brian Taylor.
Writers: Scott M. Gimple, and Seth Hoffman.
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Ciarán Hinds and Idris Elba.
To ask the question of which is worse, Highlander II or Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, both rank equally for its contrived plot and its less than stellar sequel to the legend. If there are any redeeming qualities in Spirit of Vengeance, only two items come to mind.
The animation and the art used in Cage's narrated flashback sequence are far more interesting than the tale itself. It has a style reminiscent of the movie Heavy Metal and Ghost Rider travelling to Europe was well sequenced to get viewers up to speed in what happened since the last film. Some of the animated intro even brings recollections of Max Ernst's surrealistic works of art to screen. And the photo-realism in the later pieces of narration makes those few »
