The SAG nominees: Why they chose the wrong actress from 'Inglourious Basterds'
19 December 2009 9:48 AM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
I thought the Screen Actors Guild showed more or less impeccable taste in their nominations this year (though for Best Cast, how could they have possibly forsaken the sublimely acted Up in the Air…and picked the hot warblers of Nine instead?). So in drawing attention to one performer, in particular, whom they left out of the Best Supporting Actress category, I solemnly promise you that I won't exploit the s-word. (I'll at least say it out loud once: snub.) What I will note is that this particular omission is worth talking about, if only because I flat-out adore this …

‘Inglourious Basterds’ director Quentin Tarantino gives his top films of 2009
18 December 2009 8:59 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Bad ass director Quentin Tarantino has named his top movies of 2009, joining Reel Loop’s John “Coopin’ Cooper and Kieron “Casin’” Casey with their “best of” lists.
Tarantino selected Star Trek as his favorite film with Drag Me to Hell and Funny People in his top three. He also added Chocolate, An Education and Observe & Report.
The Inglourious Basterds director also stated that he hasn’t seen Avatar yet so his list may change.
He is also leaving his list at eight because he hasn’t seen The Lovely Bones or Clint Eastwood’s Invictus yet.
Check out the interview from The Hollywood Reporter:

The 49-year-old actress – who is a long-term environmental activist and has been arrested several times, most recently for obstructing environmentally devastating Us mountain-top climbing – said she wants the world to become more aware of the environment and believes it only takes some small changes to make a difference.

Carradine Gravestone Poses Questions
16 December 2009 5:37 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor David Carradine's gravestone features lyrics to a song he wrote and dubs the Kill Bill star 'The Barefoot Legend'.
The Kung Fu star was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles after his mysterious June death in Thailand - and there are big questions being raised about what features on his grave.
U.S. tabloid the Globe features a photo of the gravestone, which reads, 'David Carradine aka John Arthur Carradine 1936 - 2009 The Barefoot Legend'.
The marker also lists Carradine's achievements and includes the lyrics to a song he wrote.
The words read, "I'm looking for a place where the dogs don't bite and children don't cry and everything always goes right and brothers don't fight."
The actor was found hanging naked with a shoelace tied around his neck in a Bangkok hotel room on 4 June. …
Death Rides a Horse
16 December 2009 3:03 PM, PST | Latemag.com/film | See recent LateFilmFull news »
Lee Van Cleef has a long and respected standing in the Spaghetti Western industry. His career in Italian cinema has seen him feature in some of the best (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), some of the more mediocre (The Grand Duel), and some of the absolute worst (God's Gun) that the genre has to offer. But with films such as The Big Gundown and For a Few Dollars More on the CV, the duds are easily forgiven.
Another film that exonerates the horrendous wig sported by the man with the gunsight eyes in God's Gun, is Giulio Petroni's 1967 epic, Death Rides a Horse. It may be a simple, bog-standard tale of revenge, but it's one that's told with the style and visual appeal unique to the very best examples of Spaghetti Westdom.

Quentin Tarantino likes to pay homage to other directorial greats, and according to THR, he's taking some real-life inspiration from Jean Renoir: "I intend to quit at 60," said the 46-year-old. "And I'm going to do exactly what he did. I'm going to write novels and cinema literature, stuff like that." You may mourn the loss of potential sequels to Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds, but I cry for Tarantino's future withdrawal from wacky talking dog commercials for Japanese TV. [THR] …

Austin Film Critics Agree, The Hurt Locker is Best of ‘09
16 December 2009 7:05 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The wonderful group of fine professional film critics and journalists known as the Austin Film Critics Association -- a group that includes the membership of yours truly and Fsr Managing Editor Dr. Cole Abaius -- has announced its award winners for the year 2009. Within said winners are plenty of unsurprising results, including the unanimous support for Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, which took home Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography. We also delivered the Best Actor award to Colin Firth, whose performance in A Single Man seems to have him right in the Oscar hunt with George Clooney (Up in the Air) and Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart). Among the surprises, Mélanie Laurent came out of nowhere to take Best Actress for her role in Inglourious Basterds, with co-star Christoph Waltz winning yet another Best Supporting Actor award (I wonder if he'll win the Oscar...) Two fantastic choices (my votes, for …

Uma Thurman loses controlling Arpad
15 December 2009 4:53 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Uma Thurman ended her engagement because her ex-fiance was too controlling. 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 …
The Anti-Blockbuster
15 December 2009 9:38 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" has been the most discussed film of 2009, and so I'll assume you're fluent with its narrative's yards of entwining taffy and with Christoph Waltz's entrancing piece of supporting-perf gamesmanship, and so on, and move on toward simply saying it is the best American movie of the year, and an impossible-to-dislike rocket of fuming movie love. (The legions of teenagers who went expecting... whatever the Brad Pitt-heavy advertisements led them to expect, came out surprised and delighted.)
Still, I think it's an only mildly understood movie, one that, in Tarantino's obsessive way, entertains blithely as it subverts the conveniences American audiences ordinarily crave. You ask the average filmgoer what the movie's about, and they won't say The Movies (in Umberto Eco's definition of "Casablanca"), which is the stone-cold truth, but Nazis or WWII, or a playground-fun alternate version of them, which isn't far from the truth, …

Actor Sam Elliot blames Catholic Church, Bill O’Reilly for lack of sequels to ‘The Golden Compass’
14 December 2009 11:13 AM, PST | 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.”
According to IMDb, The Golden Compass …

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 …
