Actor Sam Elliot blames Catholic Church, Bill O’Reilly for lack of sequels to ‘The Golden Compass’
23 hours ago | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
According to veteran actor Sam Elliot, it was the Catholic Church that forced the closure of two planned sequels to 2007’s The Golden Compass, the first entry in what was supposed to be a series of films based on the novels from outspoken atheist Philip Pullman.
Shortly before the release of The Golden Compass in 2007, both The Catholic League For Religious and Civil Rights and Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly, denounced the film and called for a boycott.
At the time, O’Reilly said the film was a part of the overall “war on Christmas” waged by liberals.
“The Catholic Church happened to The Golden Compass, as far as I’m concerned,” says Elliot. “It did incredible at the box office, taking $380 million. Incredible. It took $85 million in the States. The Catholic Church… lambasted them, and I think it scared New Line off.”

Inglourious Basterds Blu-ray Review with D-box
14 December 2009 10:44 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is the director's self-proclaimed "masterpiece," a project he has been referencing for years but felt necessary to tackle others beforehand. It is every bit as much steeped in cinema history as his past works, though more cleverly disguised by its era and setting. One viewing is not enough to take it all in which has made the wait for the high definition Blu-ray Disc release hard to endure.
Set "Once upon a time in Nazi-occupied France, 1941," Inglourious Basterds tells two stories: Story one revolves around Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman who witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of sadistic Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Narrowly escaping her own execution, Shosanna flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as an owner of a movie theater.
Story two deals with a group of Jewish- American soldiers, organized by »
This decade’s film: 2000-2004
14 December 2009 8:08 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Pottermania, Tolkein-mania, Twilight-mania…it’s fair to say that the noughties have been a strong one for different kinds of mania. Moreover, it’s also been the time for some pretty awesome movies. 2000 marked a particularly promising start: American Beauty, the directorial debut from Sam Mendes was a unique critique on the American dream that attracted widespread acclaim, being nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winning 5; including Best Picture. His next project, Road to Perdition proved this success to be no fluke. Apparently this was a good time for new directors, as further evidenced by Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides, and Spike Jonze’s Being John Malkovich. Not that the decade was limited to low-budget concept flicks. Box office-smashing comic book adaptations became the name of the game; ranging from the great (Spider-Man, X-Men and Hellboy), to the not so much (Daredevil and Fantastic Four). It became (almost) socially acceptable »

Uma Thurman Ultimately Ended Her Engagement
14 December 2009 6:26 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘Kill Bill’ actress reportedly split from French financier Arpad Busson because she was tired of him trying to take over her life and telling her what to do. A friend of the actresses told the New York Daily News newspaper: “It seemed like he always wanted to run the show.” The relationship allegedly turned sour when the 47-year-old businessman decided he wanted to make drastic changes to Uma’s lavish homes without even consulting her. The friend explained: "He wanted to bring in his own chef and his own security. He'd talk about redesigning her house in the city and knocking down buildings at her place upstate." It had been reported that the couple ended their year-long engagement almost two months ago after a row about money.

Krysten Ritter Will Kill ‘Bono’
14 December 2009 5:39 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Watch out, U2 fans. Breaking Bad’s Krysten Ritter has signed on for a film entitled Killing Bono, based on the book Killing Bono: I Was Bono’s Doppleganger by Neil McCormick.
While not the most eloquent title in the history of the written word, Killing Bono follows the early days of the famous band, but from the perspective of a rival band. Here’s a publisher synopsis:
“Everyone wants to be famous. But as a young punk in Dublin in the 1970s, Neil McCormick’s ambitions went way beyond mere pop stardom. It was his destiny to be a veritable Rock God. He had it all worked out: the albums, the concerts, the quest for world peace. There was only one thing he hadn’t counted on. The boy sitting on the other side of the classroom had plans of his own.
Killing Bono is a story of divergent lives. »

Off the Shelf: Smokin’ Aces
13 December 2009 12:11 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Out of curiosity and sheer boredom, I’ve decided to start up a new column that will run once every week or two here at Reelloop. In Off the Shelf, I’ll randomly pick a DVD or Bluray out of my collection and write a few paragraphs of random thoughts about whatever film my finger lands on. Hopefully I can make some interesting points and draw your eye to a film you might not have seen before!
For my first film, we’ll be looking at Joe Carnahan’s 2006 film Smokin’ Aces.
You’ve got to hand it to Mr. Joe Carnahan, whether you hate Smokin’ Aces or love it dearly — the guy can pull together a great cast, and gets awesome performances out of each member. A quick scan of the IMDb page for the film evokes skepticism: Alicia Keys? Common? (Remember, these were the days before Common was »

DVD review: Inglourious Basterds
11 December 2009 1:23 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Universal, rental and retail, cert 18
After the empty flashiness of Kill Bill and Death Proof, this comes as a relief from Quentin Tarantino, a proper story and one or two fine performances. None of these is the nominal lead, Brad Pitt, who unaccountably chooses to play his character, head of a Dirty-Dozen-type assassination squad in Germany, as Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel. But Christoph Waltz imbues his part as a Nazi with great subtlety, and the the kind of suaveness we haven't seen in jackboots since James Mason played Rommel. It's still a Tarantino film – he does manage to work a Mexican standoff in at one point – but this is the first of his films for a while where the soundtrack isn't more interesting than what you're watching.
Rating: 3/5

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry
List # 1
By Alex Simon
When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.
1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah. »

Uma Thurman Has Been Single for Almost Two Months
8 December 2009 8:03 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Rumor has it, Uma Thurman is back on the single market. The 39-year-old actress, who has been engaged to Arpad Busson for around one-and-a-half year, has allegedly separated from the Swiss financier for almost two months. Source close to the couple told E! News, "She has ended her engagement, it happened over two months ago."
The source further stated that the star of "Kill Bill" is planning on returning everything that belongs to Busson, including the 8-plus carat center stone engagement ring he presented to her. "She will probably give it back," the source said of the engagement ring. "She wants to return everything that is his." Nonetheless, the insider added, "They remain friends."
New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, in the meantime, reported that Uma was the one who suggested the engagement should be broken off after a small argument she had with Busson. She, however, didn't mean what she said. »

Thurman Not Romancing Pattinson
8 December 2009 5:31 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
A spokesperson for Uma Thurman has denied reports she has been romancing Robert Pattinson since splitting from her fiance Arpad Busson.
News of Thurman's broken engagement to the Swiss businessman hit the headlines on Tuesday, and prompted gossips and bloggers to start speculating that her new beau Pattinson - the actress' co-star in the upcoming Bel Ami - was behind the break-up.
A spokesperson for the Kill Bill star has confirmed she parted ways with Busson two months ago - but insists she won't meet with the Twilight star until they begin filming the drama next year.
The rep tells GossipCop.com, "That is actually funny. Uma hasn't even been in the same room as Pattinson."
Thurman will play a wealthy woman who is seduced by Pattinson's younger character in the movie, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's 1885 novel. »
Uma Thurman Has Reportedly Ended Her Engagement

The 'Kill Bill' star and multimillionaire hotelier Arpad Busson have ended their year-long engagement following a row over money. A source said: “The engagement ended awhile back – almost two months ago. They remain friends." According to New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, the couple had a small argument which led to the American actress suggesting the engagement should be broken off, without really meaning it. Uma then walked out "in a huff" but the spat caused the businessman to rethink their future together and he called time on their relationship. The couple started dating in the summer of 2007 and became engaged a year later, with Arpad presenting the actress with an eight-carat diamond engagement ring – which she is returning to him. A source said: "She will probably give it back. She wants to return everything that is his." Uma – who has 11-year-old daughter Maya and seven-year-old son Levon »

-Interview by Nic Brown-
The saying goes "Don't mess with Texas!" and although she may be based out of Chicago now, you'd still be well advised not to mess with native Texan Deneen Melody! She's played everything from an assassin to one of the devil's daughters. This former ballerina-turned-horror actress is not just an actress; she's also a model who's learning to do her own stunt work! Now Deneen is taking a break from learning how to fight on screen to talk with Pretty Scary about her new projects, why she gave up ballet, and why some people may call her a nerd (but not to her face, remember she's learning to fight!)...
Deneen, how did you get your start as an actress?
Well, before I got into film, I was actually a ballet dancer. Unfortunately, when I was 16, I broke my left foot during a performance. It was »

Eli Roth talks ‘Endangered Species’, sought advice from Michael Bay, Quentin Tarantino
7 December 2009 12:01 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Controversial director Eli Roth recently chatted about his next project, the upcoming sci-fi feature Endangered Species.
The Hostel and Cabin Fever director said that Endangered Species will be “along the lines of Transformers or Cloverfield,” only more “science fiction-based and with lots of chaos and mass destruction.”
Playing coy with details, Roth said that his new film will be set against an urban backdrop that will be destroyed by “something.” No word on what that something is.
Roth recently sought advice from two of Hollywood’s most prominent directors: Michael Bay and Quentin Tarantino.
“Quentin actually loved the draft and had some really great suggestions, so I’m tweaking the script,” Roth said on his recently completed screenplay. “And I’m working out some visual effects tests, which is going to determine how I shoot it.”
He added: “I actually saw Michael Bay the other night and I talked to »
