Casting Net: Amanda Seyfried in talks to join Noah Baumbach film; Plus, Gael Garcia Bernal to star in Jon Stewart film

23 May 2013 5:52 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Amanda Seyfried may have started out playing teenage bombshells, but she’s defied the trap of typecasting and translated those beginnings into an interesting and diverse career including the high-profile Les Miserables and the upcoming porn-star biopic Lovelace. Now, she’s in talk to join director Noah Baumbach’s (Frances Ha) next project While We’re Young,  alongside Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts (The Impossible), and Adam Driver (Girls). Seyfried would play Driver’s partner in the film, about an older couple who befriends a younger, more free-spirited duo.  [The Wrap]

Daryl Hannah, Kirsten Prout And Chloe Bridges Set To Star In Social Media Drama Offline

23 May 2013 3:51 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Everyone knows that the time restraints involved with filmmaking don.t allow for truly topical subjects to be depicted at the height of their popularity. Cheaper TV movies are better at doing that sort of thing. But while the upcoming independent feature Offline centers on subject matter that isn.t necessarily on the forefront of everyone.s minds, it will put a narrative spin on it, and could end up being relevant itself for quite a number of years. The film will highlight one of the downsides of social media, and Variety reports its cast will include Chloe Bridges (The Carrie Diaries), Kirsten Prout (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), and Daryl Hannah, who hasn.t really made a movie worth mentioning since Tarantino.s Kill Bill Vol. 2 in 2004. The story centers on a top student (Prout) who sees her life get turned upside down when inappropriate photographs of her start appearing »

The 5 “Sytycd” Routines I Still Think About

23 May 2013 12:09 PM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

So You Think You Can Dance is both one of the greatest reality series ever and, in its own way, a difficult show to remember. The talent level on Sytycd is so high that it’s easy to forget that phenomenal bits of entertainment occur every week, multiple times in a single episode. You can forget that you wept at a Sonya Tayeh-inspired number because of a sexy samba that immediately followed it or a bizarre Bollywood number that preceded it. You’re actually inundated with great TV, and you’re too fallible to recall it all. That’s a crazy level of quality.

And that’s also why I compiled this tiny list, a quintet of performances that is still on my mind no matter how much other talent and choreography tear through my screen.

1. Alex Wong and tWitch get into your mind.

This instant classic from season 7 paired Alex Wong, »

Femme Fatales: The 10 Most Kick-Ass Girl Fights

23 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

 

Oh, girl fights… The phrase itself can conjure images of scantily clad models slapping at each other for sexually exploitive purposes, which is unfair and misleading. For instance, in Fast and Furious 6, Gina Carano and Michelle Rodriguez get to fight each other with insane ferocity that rivals any of the fight scenes that co-stars The Rock and Vin Diesel find themselves in. Pam Grier made her career in the 70s showing up in movies to beat people up. And let’s not forget the Kill Bill films, which are pretty much a collection of brutal battle scenes between women.

The thing is a woman can do any job a man can do, and that includes kicking ass and taking names. Sometimes the only person who can match a warrior woman is another woman. Here are our top ten favorite fight scenes between two (or more) ferocious female fighters.

5 Directors Who Are Still Living Off The Good Will Of One Film

22 May 2013 2:24 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

People are so often happy to just cruise these days as the amount of goodwill the cinema going public has towards a director is often relative to past successes. The better the previous work the more good will that you’ll have in the bank.

Every time that I go and see a new Quentin Tarantino film, I always have the thought in my mind that this is the director that gave us the double whammy of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, not the director who gave us the bloated mess that was Grindhouse or the Kill Bill double-bill. And as he continues to disappoint, I’m left thinking, “Oh well. Maybe next time.”

Looking at the directors working in Hollywood today, there are so many that constantly using the, “A film from the director that brought you…” format to promote their newest film and the problem is the mentioned »

Hannibal - Episode 8 Review

22 May 2013 11:41 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

John Lucking reviews the eighth episode of Hannibal....

This week’s episode of Hannibal is brought to you by the sense of sound, and Will’s mental degradation is first under the microscope as we see him relaxing at home (by fixing things of course) before hearing the sound of a wounded animal from outside. The sound is tracked to an open field with nothing to be seen, and it’s already clear that there is no animal to be found. In animals Will finds solace, but his mind also uses them against him -as with the stag- and so it’s only fitting that his subconscious would torture him further with the cries of an innocent creature. Alana is called to help him search for the animal in distress, but what follows is the biggest step towards romance the show has taken thus far as they discuss Will’s dating credentials. »

Cannes 2013: Bloody, Nasty Revenge in Refn's 'Only God Forgives'

22 May 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Tarantino is out, Refn is in. At the start of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, it opens with the Klingon Proverb, "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Back in the 90s, Tarantino was leading the genre game in Cannes, winning the Palme d'Or for Pulp Fiction. While he's still making great films today, the next generation has tagged in. In 2011, Nicolas Winding Refn rocked the Croisette with the film Drive and he has returned this year to premiere Only God Forgives. Starring Ryan Gosling again this artsy, slow burn, extremely violent Bangkok-set revenge drama is a dish definitely served cold, with a slice of style and minor substance. Only God Forgives isn't that comparable to much of Nicolas Winding Refn's past work, even Drive, aside from maybe the structure and themes in Valhalla Rising or Fear X. That said, I believe Refn is one of the craziest, most creative, »

The unmade films of Quentin Tarantino

Feature Glen Chapman 22 May 2013 - 06:41

With Django Unchained out now on DVD, Glen looks at the Tarantino projects that have yet to be made, and what he might direct next...

Quentin Tarantino's impact on cinema over the past two decades is undeniable, but still, he's something of a divisive filmmaker. There are many who love his character, enthusiasm and output, but there are those who dismiss his work as little more than pastiche.

The enthusiasm he exudes often results in him announcing dream projects that at the time seem unlikely to be made, and for a number of these, this has turned out to be the case. His last two films, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, were both teased by the director many years before they went into production, and eventually made it to the big screen. Other Tarantino projects, meanwhile, have been less fortunate.

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.
