Make Your Own Mixtape: 17 Songs From Wes Anderson's Films That Are Not On The Official Soundtracks
25 May 2012 10:34 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Today sees the latest film from director Wes Anderson, "Moonrise Kingdom," hit theaters, and consistent with the music-obsessed filmmaker's work, it's as much a treat for the ears as it is for the eyes. 'Moonrise' boasts another soundtrack of unexpected cuts assembled with the great music supervisor Randall Poster, including Francoise Hardy, Hank Williams, and for the first time, a significant amount of classical music including Benjamin Britten and Leonard Bernstein. And if that's not enough, there's also additional pieces by Alexandre Desplat and drum percussion by old musical cohort Mark Mothersbaugh.
But as is the case with most films, not everything's on the official soundtrack release, which is in stores now: the movie features three additional Hank Williams songs, and pieces by Mozart and Schubert that aren't included on the disc. Given that Anderson's films are so replete with music, the soundtracks have quite often left out key songs for licensing or other reasons, »

Andre 3000′s Jimi Hendrix Biopic ‘All Is By My Side’ To Start Production This Month
7 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Last July, we reported that a movie based on the life of Jimi Hendrix was moving forward with actor/musician Andre Benjamin aka (Andre 3000, also of Outkast) attached to play the legendary guitarist. And now almost a year later, under the title All Is By My Side, the movie is ready to start production. Iftn reports that All Is By My Side will begin principal photography in three weeks in and around the city of Dublin, Ireland, with Benjamin confirmed as the lead.
Instead of being an all-encompassing biopic, the movie will instead focus on the time period of 1966-1967, when Hendrix was first discovered and whisked away to England to record his debut album and also create some of the most memorable songs of that era. Directorial duties on All Is By My Side are being handled by John Ridley, who also wrote the script.

First official images from Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained
28 April 2012 3:26 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Following the release of the teaser poster a couple of weeks back, Entertainment Weekly have now got their hands on the first official images from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Spaghetti Western tribute, Django Unchained.
First up is a shot of Jamie Foxx (Ray) as the eponymous Django (whom Foxx describes as "Richard Roundtree meets Clint Eastwood"), along with his mentor, the German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)...
And secondly comes a look at Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception) as the villainous plantation owner Calvin Candie...
The pre-Civil War set tale sees the freed slave Django joining forces with Schultz to search for his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington; Fantastic Four), a path which leads them to Candie's infamous 'Candyland' plantation, where slaves are groomed to battle each other for sport.
Joining Foxx, Waltz, DiCaprio and Washington in the cast are Sacha Baron Cohen (The Dictator), Samuel L. Jackson »

First Look: Steely-Eyed Stars of Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’
26 April 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
The summer season is nearly upon us, loaded with highly-anticipated genre sequels like The Avengers, Nolan’s final Batman and, of course, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. However, looking past the blockbusters for a moment, there’s one original film that may be as impossible to ignore as its filmmaker: Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino’s latest.
Tarantino has a penchant for telling bloody revenge stories and trying his hand at a variety of subgenres, and Django is no different. Tarantino’s spaghetti Western is actually a “Southern,” set against the backdrop of the vile Antebellum South. Jamie Foxx, who won an Oscar for Ray, plays the title character, a free man stripped of his freedom, dignity, and lawful wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), until he’s “unchained” by Dr. King Shultz (Christoph Waltz) and sets out for vengeance and his bride. Leonardo DiCaprio, pictured below wielding a hammer like Bill the Butcher, »

First Photos of Tarantino's Django Unchained Featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx
26 April 2012 12:44 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Without the benefit of a trailer, the first peek audiences have had of director Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Django Unchained was with its recently released teaser poster, which merely showed the silhouettes of the characters played by Academy Award–winning actors Jamie Foxx (Ray) and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). Finally, The Weinstein Company has revealed a first look photo of the two actors in costume, as well as a photo of Leonardo DiCaprio as the movie's villain.
Set two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained follows Foxx as the slave Django, who is freed by German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Waltz) on the condition that they work together to kill the murderous Brittle Brothers. Thus begins an unlikely partnership as Django works towards freeing his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from the slave trade.

Close up: Back in the Hobbit

Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
Is there any more eagerly anticipated film that The Hobbit? If so, this week go down as a bit of a downer in the blockbuster annals, for footage unveiled at CinemaCon - a starry jamboree in Vegas for multiplex owners - has been found slightly lacking. Ten minutes shot in the hot potato 48 frames-per-second format (for which Peter Jackson cheerleads) left some punters unconvinced.
"It reminds me of when I first saw Blu-Ray, in that it takes away that warm feeling of film," one chain owner said. "It looked to me like a behind-the-scenes featurette."
"It looked like a made-for-tv movie," another projectionist told the La Times. "It was too accurate – too clear. The contrast ratio isn't there yet – everything looked either too bright or black."
Some good pointers there for Jackson, who still »
First Look: Two photos revealed from Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' -- Exclusive
26 April 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The song “Unchain My Heart” meant something very different when Jamie Foxx re-created it in 2004’s Ray, but you could argue the title applies in a strange and more sinister way in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming revenge western Django Unchained.
The bond Foxx wants to break this time around is not a bad romance, but something far uglier and more painful: his slave status in the pre-Civil War South, which is the obstacle preventing him from going in search of his sold-off wife, played by Kerry Washington.
After the jump, Entertainment Weekly debuts the first two photos from the movie, »

Jason Statham Talks About Being Part Of A Legacy of Bad-Asses, 'Safe' & The Remake Of 'Heat' With Brian De Palma
25 April 2012 9:02 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Jason Statham has joked that the reason he gets hired is because he's cheap and he does all of his own stunts. But this is devaluing his many strengths as an actor – he's an amazing physical performer and has a fair amount of screen presence with a kind of old school macho charm that isn't seen at the movies all that often anymore. Statham's new movie, "Safe," is one of his better entries (his best since "The Bank Job" at least) – a lightning fast post-9/11 action movie about a desperate man who befriends a young Chinese girl who is wanted by all sorts of mobsters and crooked politicians (exemplified by Chris Sarandon's sleazy New York City mayor). We got to talk to Statham about what it's like being a next-generation bad-ass and why he was so desperate to work with Brian De Palma.
So far Statham has remade a »

Kerry Washington Aims To Adopt Failing Schools
23 April 2012 7:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington — Sarah Jessica Parker, Kerry Washington and Forest Whitaker are adopting some of the nation's worst-performing schools and pledging Monday to help the Obama administration turn them around by integrating arts education.
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities will announce a new Turnaround Arts initiative as a pilot project for eight schools with officials from the White House and U.S. Department of Education. Organizers said they aim to demonstrate new research that shows the arts can help reduce behavioral problems and increase student attendance, engagement and academic success.
The two-year initiative will target eight high-poverty elementary and middle schools. The schools were among the lowest-performing schools in each of their states and had qualified for about $14 million in federal School Improvement Grants from the Obama administration. The arts initiative will bring new training for educators at the Aspen Institute, art supplies and musical instruments totaling about $1 million per year, »

And so we have it. The article that none of you have been waiting for, that will no doubt start a semi-regular feature that some of you may read. The article that will be the first in several, as forementioned, semi-regular features, that are just a way for me to introduce people to music that I think is good, that they may not have heard.
These features will be far from on the pulse, hell, they won’t even be stethoscoping the heartbeat, but that’s not the point. I’m not writing these to be ahead of the game and introducing up and comers, some might be but some may be old or now defunct, regardless I shall share them with you.

'Scandal's' Kerry Washington a political animal by nature
5 April 2012 3:12 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Being a political animal by nature is helping Kerry Washington in her starring television series debut.
Known for such movies as "Ray," the Oscar-winning "The Last King of Scotland" and the current "A Thousand Words," the actress plays a professional "fixer" on ABC's "Scandal." Premiering Thursday, April 5, the drama is the latest project of "Grey's Anatomy" mentor Shonda Rhimes, who based the central character on crisis-management consultant Judy Smith ... earlier an aide to President George H.W. Bush.
Politically active herself, as she was during then-Sen. Barack Obama's bid for the White House, Washington deems it "very exciting" to play someone as powerful in her own way as the president (portrayed in "Scandal" by actor-director Tony Goldwyn). "I love my job, and I'm so grateful that I'm getting to do it with people at the level they're at. I feel like the luckiest broad in showbiz."

TV Review: Kerry Washington Stars in Over-Written, Melodramatic ‘Scandal’
5 April 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Shonda Rhimes has made waves on network TV with her unique, stylized approach to characters on hit shows “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice.” She occassionally has a gift for pulpy TV and her latest, “Scandal” sometimes hits that nerve that wants an escapist soap opera after a long day at work. More often, it feels over-done, like someone trying to stir controversy with outlandish, unbelievable behavior. It’s a tough show to review. If you approach it with even an ounce of sincerity, you’ll likely laugh it off. But if you approach it knowing that this is a daytime soap opera that just happens to be in primetime and can appreciate the fearless ludicrousness of it all, it just might be your favorite way to turn off your mind.

Are 'Avengers' Aliens Related To Beta Ray Bill?
2 April 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
You know, it would be nice to find out who those aliens warriors backing up Loki’s destructive rampage in "The Avengers" are ahead of time, assuming there’s an honest answer. Not because it’s essential to know or anything, but simply so it can stop the endless speculation and methodical scouring of clues and screenshots to figure out what’s going on. If nothing else, an answer would enable comic fans to stop chewing their fingers off in anticipation.
But this may be a real tip, and one that makes sense: a commenter at Slash Film points out that the aliens resemble inhabitants of the world Korbin, which is where recurring "Thor" character Beta Ray Bill is from. Beta Ray Bill is an alien who ends up getting a Norse hammer crafted for him, much in the style of Thor’s Mjolnir, and becomes a hero to his people. »

Are You Ready For Revenge Of Chucky?
28 March 2012 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
We're creeping up on the 25th anniversary of the original Child's Play, and at a panel at North Carolina's Mad Monster Party convention, series icon Brad Dourif has confirmed that no fewer than two new killer doll movies are in the works. We might get a fifth sequel in Revenge of Chucky, or we might be taking the remake route.Child's Play starred Dourif as serial killer Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray, The Lakeshore Strangler, who is shot by heroic cop Chris Sarandon. But thanks to his convenient voodoo abilities, Ray manages to transfer his soul into a doll before he carks it. The Chucky doll, still voiced by Dourif, continued through a couple of conventional follow-ups before the series went mental in 1998, with Ronny Yu's Bride Of Chucky. John Waters named it his film of the year, and it spawned Seed of Chucky in 2004.Since then little's been heard »
