Decade in Review: 2004 Top Ten

17 hours ago | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Moving on to 2004. What follows is my original top ten list, based on films released in NYC in 2004. If I have anything new to say that'll be in red after the original text.

Top Ten Runners Up (in descending order): Aviator, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Mean Girls, Maria Full of Grace, The Five Obstructions, Collateral, Goodbye Lenin!, Birth and Closer Yes, I'm absolutely horrified by the rankings now. Nothing about that ranking feels right now. I am most ashamed that Birth was only at number [cough] 19 in its year. In my self-flattering memory I "almost" put it in the top ten despite the then brutal reviews. I was ahead of my time! Oh well... at least I did actually name it the #1 most underappreciated film of the year. At the time I said...

Jonathan Glazer made a significant splash four years ago when his brilliantly acted heist film Sexy Beast »

Me and Orson Welles (review)

9 December 2009 1:32 PM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »

The best ever love letter/horror story about the seductions and anxieties of life in the theater is the Canadian television show Slings & Arrows. This enchantingly bittersweet little film might be the second best. Based on the novel by Robert Kaplow [Amazon U.S.] [Amazon U.K.] and brought to the screen by Richard Linklater -- one of the masters of modern melancholy, if only for his diptych of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset -- this is an acerbic coming-of-age story, a warmly yearning nostalgia piece, and a smartly uproarious farce all in one. The year is 1937, and Orson Welles is about to launch Broadway’s first production of Shakespeare: a modern-dress fascist take on Julius Caesar. Into the histrionic fray of drama onstage and off at the newly formed Mercury Theater strolls 17-year-old Richard Samuels (the ever delightful Zac Efron: 17 Again), who charms and bluffs his way into a small role in the show. »

'I'm not like Orson Welles. I'm a quiet director'

2 December 2009 6:58 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The indie film-maker talks about his new film Me and Orson Welles, starring Zac Efron

In his later years Orson Welles made wine and beer commercials. He acted in The Muppet Movie and Magnum Pi and narrated a documentary about Bugs Bunny. Sometimes he gave lectures, too, shambling into the half-empty town-halls of middle America to breathlessly introduce himself as a film director, writer and actor; a magician, designer and painter. Then his eyes would flick across the rows of empty seats. "Isn't it strange," he said, "that there are so many of me and so few of you?"

It was Welles's fate to burn too brightly, too quickly. He was a man who could be everything except a cog in the Hollywood machine; an artist whose precocity would prove his undoing. He was a stage star in his teens and the creator of Citizen Kane at the age of 25. After that, »

Linklater: 'Industry doesn't do my movies'

1 December 2009 3:49 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Richard Linklater has said that the mainstream movie industry has stopped making his type of films. The Orson Welles And Me director told The Guardian that the impact of the ongoing economic crisis had surprised him. Linklater said: "I'd always seen the film industry as a constant. And then all of a sudden the bottom fell out." "I still hold on to the romantic vision of people watching my movie in a cinema. I don't want to watch Bright Star on a f**king iPhone." He added the possibility of a follow-up to 2004's Before Sunset, itself a sequel to 1995's Before (more) »

Kill Bill 3 Won't Be Called Kill Bill 3

30 November 2009 1:49 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Quentin Tarantino has been talking up Kill Bill Volume 3 since the day Kill Bill Volume 2 was released. It makes sense. The series lends itself to the occasional update style of storytelling that Richard Linklater used with Before Sunset and Before Sunrise, except with a lot more blood. We want to see where The Bride has gone, if the daughters of her victims are seeking revenge, and what has happened with The Bride.s daughter. But there.s one tiny problem with continuing the series. How can The Bride kill Bill again, unless Tarantino is planning a zombie flick? It turns out she won.t be, and thus, the film will take on a different title. Talking to MTV, Quentin stated that, .It wouldn't be Kill Bill. It would be Volume 3 of the story of the Bride." While this isn.t big news, it does mean that the story is still »

Linklater Talks Third ‘Before Sunrise/Sunset’

26 November 2009 10:30 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

While doing press for his new film, Me and Orson Welles, director Richard Linklater indulged questions about a possible follow-up to the beloved films Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.

Collider shamelessly gushed about the impact of the original before diving into the idea of forming a trilogy with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke.  Linklater agreed it’s tricky, but said he had just seen Delpy recently and they had jokingly discussed ideas.  It would require a “core idea” that compels them and challenges them to make another, he said.  “We don’t really have an answer.”

Hawke answered a similar question about two years ago where he said Linklater had an outline for a follow-up, but it would have needed to go into production immediately after the second film to work.  “I’ll be shocked if we never make another one,” he said at the time.

Movie Review: Me and Orson Welles (2009)

Christian McKay in Me and Orson Welles

Photo: Freestyle Releasing Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles is a hard one to put your finger on. It's got comedic elements, a baseline dramatic framework and then doesn't fully dedicate itself to being a coming-of-age story. However, despite my inability to nail it down in a nutshell, it's a great film with one of the better male performances of 2009.

Starring as the titular "me" is Zac Efron playing Richard, a wannabe actor who coincidentally runs into a 22-year-old Orson Welles (Christian McKay) coming out of the newly-opened Mercury Theatre where he will produce, direct and star in his adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." Words are said and Richard finds himself with a part in the play and rubbing elbows with Welles on a day-to-day basis as something of a friend-at-arms-length over the course of the next week, culminating in the opening night production. »

Richard Linklater Talks Before Sunrise/Sunset, and Ponders a Third Film

25 November 2009 12:49 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

The prospect of Richard Linklater making a third film in the Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset series is terrifying to me. The first film was a perfect piece of twenty-something romance, and through some sort of miracle, Linklater was able to craft a superior second film that sees the characters ten years later in very different places in their lives. Could they really do it a third time? Our friend Frosty from Collider recently had a sit-down with Linklater for Me and Orson Welles, and popped that very question. Linklater mentioned he talked about it with Julie Delpy recently, and that ideas have been thrown about (Delpy and co-star Ethan Hawke were heavily involved with the films). Apparently, they too were afraid to do a second film, and they "treaded into those waters very cautiously." Thankfully, the concept and execution of Before Sunset were pitch-perfect, but I could definitely understand why »

Exclusive: Richard Linklater on Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Would They Ever Make a Third Film

24 November 2009 11:41 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Two of my favorite movies are Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.  The two films star Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and if you’ve ever seen these two great movies, you know how special they are.  The first film takes place over one night in Vienna, and the second film takes place in Paris.  Since I don’t want to spoil the adventure for those who haven’t seen them, all I want to say is…if you have a chance, watch the first movie.  Then, wait a few months and watch the second film.  You’ve got to wait for the full effect.  Trust me on this.

But for those who have seen the films and love them as much as I do, you’re going to love my five minute conversation with director Richard Linklater about the films and does he think they’ll make a third one. »

Zac Efron Says Stage Fright Is 'Addicting'

24 November 2009 9:57 AM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

'Me and Orson Welles' star walks film's red carpet with Claire Danes, Richard Linklater.

By Eric Ditzian

Zac Efron at the New York premiere of "Me and Orson Welles" on Monday

Photo: MTV News

New York — "Me and Orson Welles," the story of a young man's Broadway debut, is both familiar territory and completely foreign for Zac Efron. The "High School Musical" films have seen the 22-year-old star take to the stage for theatrical performances, but "Orson Welles" is an entirely different beast, as Efron's character joins a 1930s-era production of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" being directed by a future titan of American cinema.

On Monday at the film's red carpet premiere in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, Efron told MTV News that no matter what type of role he finds himself in, he always suffers through nervous energy — and that's part of the appeal of his profession.

Why Won't Anyone Make a Richard Linklater Film?

17 November 2009 9:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

If Richard Linklater did not exist, I would never have thought his fame would be possible. Here's a director who has found mainstream success in intellectual thought and aimlessness -- not something Hollywood usually takes kindly to.

Slacker earned raves, cult status, and inspired Kevin Smith to create Clerks. Dazed and Confused followed, quickly becoming one of the quintessential high school flicks, merging stoner simplicity with political and social discussion. Before Sunrise charmed audiences with romantic discussion, The Newton Boys revealed interests reaching beyond modern day, Waking Life took on rotoscoping to discuss philosophy, Before Sunset quickly became a widely loved talk-centric romance, then fast food and Philip K. Dick fare, and now time with Orson Welles. (Not to mention those penned by others, like the one-room drama Tape.)

Yet the guy can't catch a flipping break.

Is Avatar One of the Top 100 Movies of the Decade?

11 November 2009 6:23 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

The end of the decade is almost upon us, which means that over the next month or so you can expect to see all kinds of lists counting down the "Best Of" the previous 10 years in just about everything. One of the first publications out of the gate with their Best Movies of the Decade list is London's Telegraph [1], who count down their top 100 movies from 2000 to 2009. There are some interesting choices and some predictable ones, along with a few movies I've never even heard of. One thing that has a few people raising an eyebrow, however, is the fact that they've included James Cameron's Avatar on their list, based solely on the 15-minute IMAX preview! Isn't that a little presumptuous? To be fair, they did tack it on at the end of the list at #100, but it still feels like they're going mainly based on hype rather than anything concrete. »

tMF Featured Trailer: Ethan Hawke rocks in Daybreakers!

1 November 2009 6:36 PM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Ethan Hawke may not be as popular as Leonardo DiCaprio or even Jude Law, but there was a time when his name appeared first in billing followed by Law - that's in Gattaca of course! I can still remember the young actor when he played opposite Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets' Society and who can forget Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset? Oh, how about Reality Bites? I could go on and on, but before I forget - two awesome films - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and Training Day.

Now, of all characters, he's playing a vampire! Can he bring some kind of 'wonderful' for the beloved (and infamous) fictional character?
