DVD Review: 'Django Unchained'
20 May 2013 12:00 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★★☆ Widely and rather wildly lauded as a dramatic return to form, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012) serves as a brilliantly entertaining, although not altogether unexpected piece of pastiche, caricature cinema. Set to the backdrop of America's pre-Civil War plantations, it is in equal parts a revenge thriller and a buddy movie, led by a stellar cast with Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz on sublime form as its leading men. The story begins with Django (Foxx) being transported as a slave through the backwoods of Texas. On the journey, he and his captors happen upon what turns out to be fateful encounter with Waltz's Dr. King Schultz.
Schultz frees Django and subsequently decides to help him reunite with his wife Broomhilda, played by Kerry Washington. However, the evil Calvin Candie, played to sadistic perfection by Leonardo DiCaprio, is currently holding her captive on his Candyland plantation. What ensues is the tale of an unlikely friendship, »

Weinstein, Yen Talk ‘Crouching Tiger’ Sequel
19 May 2013 5:07 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Getting one phone call from Harvey Weinstein would be enough for many actors to commit to a role. But it took one phone call a week, for several weeks, to get martial arts star Donnie Yen to commit to the Weinstein Co.‘s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” sequel.
“At first I was a little hesitant,” Yen said during a discussion with Weinstein and director Yuen Woo-Ping at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
The kung-fu expert, who has shown off his skills in pics like Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” and the “Iron Monkey” films, praised the original 2000 “Crouching Tiger,” and said he had concerns about how to improve on it. Eventually, though, Yen said that “as an actor,” he couldn’t pass up the challenge.
Weinstein’s love of Asian cinema and martial arts is well-known, and he talked about being influenced by Akira Kurosawa.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – The Green Destiny Will Star Donnie Yen And Michelle Yeoh
17 May 2013 4:15 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Nobody’s a bigger fan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon than me. Ang Lee’s fine directing mixed with a strong cast and a truly engaging story resulted in one of the finest martial arts films of all time. Does it need a sequel? I’d normally say no, unless Ang Lee was attached to direct. Then again, I’m not Harvey Weinstein. Ever since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – The Green Destiny was announced and greenlit, there have been rumors about some of the original cast returning for a second bout. As it turns out, Michelle Yeoh will be reprising her role as Yu Shu Lien, while Donnie Yen (Ip Man) will play the character of Silent Wolf.
Alas, the great Ang Lee won’t be returning. The man just won an Academy Award for Best Director — at this point, he’s probably got bigger fish to fry. Yuen Woo Ping, »

Los Angeles, May 14: Actress Uma Thurman, who gave birth to her third child in July last year, wants to get back to work as she wants to strike a balance between her personal and professional life.
"It isn't the case that being a housewife doesn't satisfy me. I love cooking, doing gardening and being there for my children. But in life you need an intact work-life balance and in the end I just didn't have this balance anymore," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Thurman as saying.
The 43-year-old "Kill Bill" star has daughter Maya, 14, and 11-year-old son Levon with ex-husband Ethan Hawke.
Her third child Rosalind is with her. »

Uma Thurman wants to get back to work

Uma Thurman doesn't have a balance between her work and personal life. The 'Kill Bill' actress - who has daughter Maya, 14, and 11-year-old son Levon, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke - welcomed her third child, Rosalind, with Arpad Busson in July 2012 but is now itching to get back to making movies because she doesn't feel she has enough of a balance in her life. She told Germany's Gala magazine: 'At the moment I'm reading three different screenplays and I have to decide with which film I want to start [work] again.

'Kick-Ass 3' first pages previewed by Mark Millar, John Romita Jr
13 May 2013 11:43 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Kick-Ass 3 has offered its first preview.
Pages from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr's upcoming series have been previewed by Comic Book Resources.
The writer has promised that the third outing of Dave Lizewski will be his last.
"The whole plan, all along, is that Kick-Ass was about a guy growing up," said Millar. "This is a John Hughes movie meets Kill Bill.
"It's all about a rite of passage. It's about a kid whose mum has died and he's not really that enchanted with the real world. He's become absorbed in this fantasy world of comics but he's taken it to the next level and gets dressed up as these characters."
He also said that, if the title were to continue in any form, it would star Big Daddy and be set before the events of the first series.
"Kick-Ass 3 is definitely the end of everybody's story, but there »
Uma Thurman Hits Red Carpet in a '70s Beach Cover-Up
10 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Why do we feel like Uma Thurman is wearing a matching bikini under this "dress?" Something about the '70s feel, graphic print and wedge sandals make the Smash star feel like she's headed to a yacht in San Tropez, not a red carpet in New York. The dark shades and thick silk help convince us that this is, in fact, evening wear, but that loose, wispy bun takes us right back to visions of our favorite Kill Bill star sunning near the sand. Which isn't a bad vision, actually. Maybe Uma is onto something here »
Game to sell movies in-store, online - scheme launches with 50 titles
10 May 2013 9:54 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
UK retailer Game has announced plans to sell movies in-store and online.
A range of 50 movies, including Kill Bill, Avatar, Life of Pi and Argo, will be available to purchase at Game from Monday, May 13.
The scheme was greenlit following a successful trial period in which the store stocked The Hobbit and Skyfall.
Game category director Charlotte Knight said that movies are closely tied to the gaming lifestyle.
"Gaming and movies go together hand-in-hand - you only need to look at the cinematic effects found in many games, along with how many games are based on films and vice versa, to understand how closely the two are related," Knight explained.
"Introducing this range of movies is another big step towards delivering for every aspect of a gamer's lifestyle."
Knight added: "We've already had very encouraging performances on The Hobbit and Skyfall, and we're confident that the time is right to extend our range. »
Oscars 2003: If We Picked the Winners (Best Picture 2003)
10 May 2013 5:56 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
When I look at the slate of Best Picture nominees from 2003, it appears to have been a true high-water mark for the industries’ “epic” films. While we still suffer from the aftershocks of Hollywood’s obsession with “the epicness of epicdom” (two made up words, I know, but that’s just how self-consciously epic these films are), in 2003, the tone still felt new and fresh. These epic films were not only rewarded with successful box office receipts, but high critical praise as well (thus the Oscar nominations).
In the years following, while the box office receipts have remained consistent (or even increased), the grades from critics and enthusiasts have slowly fallen away as the genre has become increasingly stale. In 2003 though, we had mostly good films from the genre in our rear-view mirror, so the potential for the genre was promising and people were ready to bite on anything that »

'Some Girl(s)' trailer: Adam Brody is a Man with a (bad) plan -- Exclusive Video
6 May 2013 11:17 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Playwright Neil Labute is notorious for dredging the dark depths of the male psyche, and Some Girl(s) goes so far as to name its protagonist, if that’s the right word, merely as “Man.” In the movie, which premiered at SXSW in March, Adam Brody (The O.C.) plays the Man, a successful writer who thinks the best way to prep for his imminent wedding is a cross-country jaunt to reconnect with a quintet of his former lovers — Jennifer Morrison, Mía Maestro, Emily Watson, Zoe Kazan and Kristen Bell — to resolve old wounds. Or not.
