The Angels' Share – review
2 June 2012 4:10 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Ken Loach expertly combines comedy with politics – and a drop of the hard stuff – in a warm, deftly-plotted heist movie
Though not generally considered a comedy director, Ken Loach has made films that have contained some of the funniest moments and sequences of the past 50 years, and he has regularly employed club comedians in serious roles (Crissy Rock in Ladybird Ladybird, John Bishop in Route Irish) and developed the talents of people such as Ricky Tomlinson not previously considered comics. It's just that Loach is a master of sudden, disturbing shifts of mood, and the comedy is embedded in works that are often deeply sad or tragic. The football game, for instance, that Brian Glover referees in Kes is at once hilariously funny and a brilliant study of bullying, bad education and humiliation that illuminates the film's larger context.

Disney's New Man
31 May 2012 2:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- The Walt Disney Co. said Thursday that it hired former president of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Alan Horn, to lead its movie studio as chairman, in a personnel move that attempts to right the wrongs that led to blockbuster bomb "John Carter."
Horn oversaw the hugely successful runs of the "Harry Potter" and "The Dark Knight" movies at Warner Bros. and is one of the highest-profile executives in Hollywood. Horn had stepped down at Warner Bros. in April 2011 and had a consulting agreement through 2013. He's also credited as a producer on the upcoming "Hobbit" movies.
Horn starts at Disney on June 11, just under two months after former chairman Rich Ross stepped down in a move widely seen as taking responsibility for "John Carter," the science-fiction movie set on Mars which caused an epic $200 million write-off for Disney.
Horn will oversee worldwide production, distribution and marketing for live action and animated films from Disney, »

'Rango' Collaborators Jim Byrkit & Alex Manugian Hired To Write Long-Developing 'Fraggle Rock' Movie
31 May 2012 7:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After years spent in development purgatory (everyone from Ahmet Zappa to "Hoodwinked" writer/director Cory Edwards have worked on the project, from as far back as 2006), it finally looks like the "Fraggle Rock" movie, based on the beloved Jim Henson series, will make it to the big screen. Last year New Regency got the project going again, and just yesterday the Hollywood Reporter revealed that a pair of screenwriters have been secured – Jim Byrkit and Alex Manugian, who both worked on last year's Oscar-winning animated western "Rango."
Byrkit received a story credit on "Rango," alongside director Gore Verbinski and credited writer John Logan (he also worked as a storyboard artist for the film). In fact, Byrkit has done design work for Verbinski on all three of the filmmaker's 'Pirates of the Carribean' movies (and provided illustrations for Verbinski's big screen debut, "Mousehunt"). This year, he also wrote and directed an »

Tom Cruise to Star in The Magnificent Seven Remake
22 May 2012 6:55 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
It would appear that Hollywood has essentially run out of movies to remake, because now they're starting to remake the remakes as well. This week MGM has announced that they are setting up a new version of The Magnificent Seven, the 1960 Western directed by John Sturges, which itself was a loose remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. This will join a long list of remakes already in development at MGM including Carrie, Robocop, Poltergeist and Wargames, not to mention their Red Dawn remake, which was already completed but has been sitting on a shelf for a couple of years now. While there is no writer or director attached as of yet, they do have a big star on board for the film in the form of Mr. Tom Cruise. Something tells me that will not help endear this project to fans of the original film. According to Variety, the »

Channing Tatum Mentors Alex Pettyfer in the New 'Magic Mike' Trailer
18 May 2012 8:18 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
While plenty of people have obviously been excited about The Avengers assembling on the big screen, there's an all-male assembly that will have more of the women excited in a whole different way. The first trailer for Magic Mike, the story about the life of a male stripper inspired by the real-life job Channing Tatum once had before making it big in Hollywood, was definitely a tease, and this one is no different. However, this time we see Tatum's titular character taking Alex Pettyfer under his wing. Honestly, shirtless dudes aren't my cup of tea, but I'd be lying if I said the film didn't look interesting. Watch below! Here's the new trailer for Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike from YouTube: A young upstart male stripper (Alex Pettyfer) is taken under the wing of his more experienced colleagues. Magic Mike is directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Contagion, Out of Sight »

Community Review: A Plan Changs Together
18 May 2012 4:19 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
After a long season of reviewing The Office and 30 Rock here at TV Fanatic, giving both middling grades at best, it was a breath of fresh air when the boss asked me to help out with one of this week's trio of Community episodes.
Unlike its elder Comedy Night Done Right brothers, which in one way or another are shells of their former selves, Community is in the midst of one of the best two-season sitcom runs of all-time. It may be getting banished to Friday nights next season, but right now our favorite Human Beings are still the funniest people on television.
"The First Chang Dynasty" did not let me down in that regard. The penultimate episode of Community's third season had a nearly perfect combination of parody, physical comedy, sight gags, puns, characterization, heart and plot development. I know, that's a lot, but I don't get to review Community very often, »

From hair to eternity: poll finds Brad Pitt's 'best cuts'
14 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
So the gods do grant wishes. Here, at last, are the results of a survey to decide which film Brad's barnet looked best in
In recent years, thanks to revelatory turns in the likes of Moneyball, The Tree of Life and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Brad Pitt has finally turned into the actor he always promised to be. Add to this his exemplary clutch of films as producer and it's clear that we're dealing with a heavyweight; a true connoisseur of film. But despite all this, one nagging question lingers.
That's right: which is Brad Pitt's most iconic haircut?
No, seriously. Brad Pitt has made dozens of movies, for which he's required dozens of haircuts. By default, if nothing else, one of them has to be the most iconic. The question isn't as insulting or reductive as you think it is, either. Cast »

First Trailer and Poster for Ben Affleck’s Argo
8 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first trailer and poster for Ben Affleck's Argo has gone online. The film, based on a true story, centers on a CIA agent (Affleck) who attempts to rescue six Americans trapped in the home of the Canadian embassador during the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The rescue mission was to go in under the auspices of filming a science fiction movie entitled "Argo". The trailer makes the movie look like Ocean's Eleven combined with a tense historical thriller. I really like what I'm seeing from the trailer, and there's a good chance Affleck could 3-for-3 in his successful directing career. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster. The film also stars Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kyle Chandler, Kerry Bishe, and Alan Arkin. Argo opens October 12th. Click over to Apple to see the trailer in HD.

Happy Birthday, George Clooney!
6 May 2012 7:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Actor/director George Clooney is 51!
Best known for his breakout role on the long-running TV drama, ER, Clooney has gone on to star in dozens of roles, balancing more commercial fare like "Ocean's Eleven" with personal, independent features including "Good Night, And Good Luck," on which he served as director, producer and screenwriter, and "Syrianna," which he executive produced and for which he won a best supporting actor Oscar. In 2011, Clooney starred in the Oscar-winning film "The Descendants" playing a man trying to reconnect with his two daughters after his wife is seriously injured in an accident. Clooney won a Golden Globe for his work in the film.
No stranger to politics and controversy, Clooney made headlines in March following his arrest in Washington D.C. after a protest raising awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Sudan outside of the Sudanese Embassy. Nick Clooney, the actor's father, was also arrested. »

Macy Uncovers Clooney's Boozy Secret
3 May 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
William H. Macy uncovered one of George Clooney's drinking secrets when he filmed Welcome To Collinwood with the movie superstar in 2001 - he'd dump shot after shot of tequila on the ground rather than upset fans and co-stars by turning down offers of free booze.
Macy admits he was amazed by his co-stars aptitude for alcohol during a night out in Cleveland, Ohio with Clooney and couldn't believe his eyes when the Ocean's Eleven star turned up for work the following morning looking great and no worse for wear.
He recalls, "He came to do his bit; he was in it (film) for about four days... and he took us out that night and you can imagine this little bar was up for grabs and everyone wanted to buy George a drink.
"I watched him and he hammered back, I dunno, 12, 15 shots of tequila by the time I invited myself to go home and the next day the set was a mess, but George was fine... It was a lost day."
But Macy's amazement was short-lived - one friend told him all about the star's bar secret.
He adds, "Someone told me what George would do: somebody would say, 'George Clooney, I wanna buy you a drink,' and so he'd get the drink and he'd go, 'Hey' (bend over) and he would dump it on the ground and go like that (pretend to knock it back) - and nobody saw it." »
Danny Pudi Talks Awkward “Handle It” Moments, What’s Coming Up on Community, and His Brief Role in The West Wing
3 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
By now, you’re most likely familiar with the NBC series Community. If you’re a fan of the show, you’re aware of its genius. If you’re not a fan of the show, you’ve no doubt heard of its genius from the legions of fans working tirelessly to recruit their friends to the show's league of fandom. Not only is Community brilliant and whip-smart, but it’s also incredibly funny and is certainly one of the most wholly original shows on television. Last week I got the chance to speak with Danny Pudi, who plays Abed on the show, in conjuction with Speed Stick's "Handle It" campaign. Guys are encouraged to tweet their most awkward or embarrassing stories to @SpeedStick with the hashtag #HandleIt, and Pudi will choose his favorite submission, develop the script, and star in a video based on the entry as the winner’s “inner voice. »

Robert Pattinson Charting Familiar Path With Post-'Twilight' Roles
3 May 2012 4:09 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
With two small films in the works, the heartthrob proves he's planning a future beyond the franchise that made him, experts tell MTV News.
Robert Pattinson and Tom Cruise

Robert Pattinson knows that the shelf life of a Hollywood heartthrob is short. Teen dreams have a tendency to come and go with shocking regularity, which is why the actor is intent to do everything he can to break out of the mold.
The success of the "The Twilight Saga" has alternately put Pattinson in the best and worst position an actor can have in the business. He's become a superstar on the back of a franchise, but since he was a relative unknown when cast, it also defines his career up to this point. We know him for that role — and not much else.
Of course, Pattinson is aiming to change that with a series of upcoming roles, »

George Clooney and Julia Roberts were already a formidable team in "Ocean's Eleven," but now the A-list pals are partnering up to sue two companies who allegedly used their famous mugs to sell luxury home entertainment systems and equipment.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney and Roberts are suing two audiovisual companies (Digital Projection, Inc. and Beyond Audio) for using the stars' photographs and trademarked names on places like the companies' homepage and pamphlets -- without their consent.
The lawsuit, which was filed April 27 in Los Angeles, states:
"Defendants prominently used large photographs of Plaintiffs in Defendants' advertising, marketing and promotions including print advertisements published in numerous magazines over the past several months … Accordingly, Defendants are liable to Plaintiffs for the infringement of their publicity rights, privacy rights, and trademark rights."

DVD Blu-Ray: 'Haywire,' 'Living In The Material World,' 'New Year's Eve'
1 May 2012 9:14 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Haywire" What's It About? "Ocean's 11" director Steven Soderbergh takes a shot at the action-thriller genre, telling the story of a butt-kicking black ops soldier who is double-crossed on a mission and goes on a path of revenge. See It Because: It's not anything revolutionary in terms of storytelling, but the masterful director has a lot of fun riffing on the action movie staple. What makes "Haywire" stand out is that he loads his cast with great actors like Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Michael Douglas. And best of all, the film's tough-as-nails lead is played by the legit Mma champion Gina Carano. Watch a Clip from "Haywire" (Also Available on Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video ) New on DVD & Blu-ray "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" What's It About?

To George Herbert Walker Bush on His 88th Birthday: HBO's Latest Doc

Yesterday, HBO announced it would be premiering "41," a documentary about the life of 41st President George H. W. Bush "in his own words" from his summer home in Kennebunkport, Me, on June 14th to commemorate the man's 88th birthday, two days before. Indiewire spoke to executive producer Jerry Weintraub (of "Nashville," "The Karate Kid," the "Ocean's Eleven" remake and many more films) for a few minutes about where the film came from. Weintraub was the subject of his own HBO doc last year -- the Emmy-nominated "His Way," from director Douglas McGrath. Was this a project that you initiated yourself? No, this is a project from a young filmmaker by the name of Jeffrey Roth. He made a film about some astronauts [2007's "The Wonder of It All"] and sent it to President [George H. W. Bush].
