An American Film Geek's Best of the Decade, 2000-2009
31 December 2009 10:29 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Sheesh, another list! At the end of every year, the need to do an annual best-of movie round-up seems to sneak up on me. The fact that it's now the end of the decade snuck on me all the more. In compiling this admittedly quick list, I looked over all my qualifying year-end lists, and re-evaluated where necessary. I tried to consider the films I saw in the greater sociological context of the decade itself - their effects on it, and what they have to say about it. At the same time, I also tried to include some personal selections that probably wouldn't make other such lists, but were important to me. Please keep in mind that i could not see everything, and that my beat around here is the mainstream theatrical films. I managed to narrow it down to twenty films, ranking the first ten. So here it, my best of the decade, »
10 Overlooked Movies from the Decade
31 December 2009 12:30 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The ReelzChannel 100 began when we asked Leonard Maltin for his favorite Hidden Gems of the decade. His list led the web team into a general discussion about the best movies of the decade and — after no small amount of debate, arguing, and (we're not proud to say) some petty name-calling — we decided we'd better bring it to an end with a company-wide vote. Then it was just a matter of tallying up the votes and hoping for the best. Lucky for us, ReelzChannel is filled with a staff ranging from movie lovers to movie fanatics. What turned out isn't what you'll find on a critic's best of list — instead it's what movie fans really enjoyed.
In day nine of the ReelzChannel 100, we highlight 10 Overlooked Movies from the Decade.

It's almost New Year's Eve. I'm ready. Let's party! 1. There Will Be Blood (2007), Paul Thomas Anderson. The entire decade, summed up in a singular American masterpiece. 2.

The grand conclusion to the decade's best epic. 4. Yi Yi (2000), Edward Yang. The decade's most beautiful family story. 5. The New World (2005), Terrence Malick. The decade's most imaginative history lesson. 6. Zodiac (2007), David Fincher. The decade's most unnerving crime story. 7. The Dark Knight (2008), Christopher Nolan. The decade's best comic-book adaptation. 8. The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2005), Cristi Puiu. »

The New World: a masterpiece?
10 December 2009 2:45 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Terrence Malick's The New World doesn't have fans, just fanatics – John Patterson among them. He explains the purity and beauty of this bottomless movie, which came and went in a month in the middle of the decade
This decade hasn't been up to much, movie-wise, but I am more than ever convinced that when every other scrap of celluloid from 2000-2009 has crumbled to dust, one film will remain, like some Ozymandias-like remnant of transient vanished glory in the desert. And that film is The New World, Terrence Malick's American foundation myth, which arrived just as the decade reached its dismal halfway point, in January 2006.
It's been said that The New World doesn't have fans: it has disciples and partisans and fanatics. I'm one of them, and my fanaticism burns undimmed 30 or more viewings later. The New World is a bottomless movie, almost unspeakably beautiful and formally harmonious. »

Birthday Suits, Well Directed
30 November 2009 6:05 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?
Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc
1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer
1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil
1926 Richard Crenna, character actor
1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"
1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts
1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.
1943 Terence Malick, »

Terrence Malick: The Reluctant Auteur
24 November 2009 4:02 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
The furious way that the beautiful free flowing style which Terrence Malick has curated over his career is talked about often disguises the fact that he has made just four features and one (some people say two), rare as hens teeth, shorts. So, after only a hand full of features in 37 years what is it about the director that has celluloid lovers chomping at the bit. Until very recently there were only 2 published interviews with the modest director in existence and only a handful of photographs. His stubbornness with the press is legendary. His Tom Sawyer like trademark themes of innocents somehow lost within harsh mother nature, the beautifully paced editing and pitch perfect scores, his poetic and naturalistic voice overs and consistently jaw dropping cinematography has helped the film maker achieve a level of awe and mystery perhaps only reserved on a comparable level for one Stanley Kubrick.

Alex Meraz of 'New Moon' talks playing 'bad-boy' Paul, bulking up, and 'Twilight' fandom
23 November 2009 1:56 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
These days, Alex Meraz, the 24-year-old actor who plays New Moon's Paul -- the most explosive member of the wolf pack -- is washing his hands. As well he should -- following New Moon's giant, record-breaking weekend, the actor is getting recognized more than ever. And that's quite a change for Meraz, considering his previous work includes small indie flicks, and a small role in 2005's The New World. The actor took time out of shaking hands to talk to EW about Native Americans in film, working out for the role, and why he'll never be a diva. »

The Oscars Has A Pair Of New Producers
21 October 2009 1:28 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman will produce next year’s Oscars ceremony, it was revealed today.Mechanic, the former Fox chairman who backed the likes of Titanic and Fight Club, and who has produced Coraline and The New World since leaving the big chair, and Shankman – the director of Hairspray and Bedtime Stories – will replace the outgoing team of Laurence Mark and Bill Condon.Mark and Condon’s sole attempt at producing the Oscars was this year’s Hugh Jackman-hosted event, which was widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative ceremonies in recent years. It was also one of the more widely-viewed, with figures up on previous years.Mark and Condon, though, chose not to return, citing other commitments, but with just over five months until the 82nd annual ceremony, Academy president Tom Sherak moved quickly to fill the gap with another pairing that may seem unusual on paper but, »
Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: October 18, 2009
18 October 2009 2:08 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
The box office gets Wild; a Vampire Chronicles star moves to Cradlewood; Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell; Owen, Keener and Schwimmer Trust each other and Terrance Mallick’s Tree of Life withers in 2009.
Box Office
After a few years in post-production, Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are took the top spot with a mighty $32.4 million over the weekend. Catering to children and adults alike, it looks like this adaptation of the children’s book might make it to the century barrier.
Law Abiding Citizen came an impressive second with $21 million. The thriller has given a boost to the careers of Jamie Fox and Gerard Butler whose last movies underperformed.
Paranormal Activity scared up $20 million from only 760 screens for a $33 million total. It looks like the sky is the limit as Halloween approaches.
Couples Retreat plunged 47% giving the comedy a weekend take of just under $18 million. »

Terrence Malick's 'Tree of Life' Pruned for 2009
16 October 2009 2:22 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
It almost had to happen this way, but Anne Thompson at Indiwire made it official yesterday: The new Terrence Malick film, The Tree of Life has been scrapped from this year's list of Oscar hopefuls, Instead, the project that has literally been brewing for 30 years might be headed to Cannes next May.
Malick walks to the beat of his own drum, and it's a painfully slow beat. The Thin Red Line was his first film in 20 years, and he's only made one (The New World) in the decade since. Thompson reports that the editing process is still going on, so Apparition - which picked up the distribution rights a couple months ago or so - has erased the film's tentative December 25th arrival. »

'Tree of Life' Uprooted from 2009
15 October 2009 9:40 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The Tree of Life, the new film from legendary director Terrence Malick, is not coming out in 2009. Exactly when it will be released remains up in the air.
While that should hardly be surprising, given Malick’s reputation for taking extended periods of time to piece together his movies, it does mean one sure-sounding Oscar bait is officially out of this year’s race. The Tree of Life has been described as a family drama about grief set in the 1950’s, and stars Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.
Apparition had scheduled a December 25 release date, but studio chief Bob Berney said it was "wishful," and confirmed, "It’s definitely not going to come out this year." The reason, Indiewire reports, is that Malick hasn’t finished the movie yet. Indeed, after more than a year of fussing in the editing room with his footage, shot in and around Austin back »
Columbus Day Tales Of Discovery, Real And Imagined
12 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Today is Columbus Day, a federal holiday when people are meant to take some time to reflect on the 1492 arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World, the continents now known as North and South America. Most people just use the free day to brunch, shop and chill, but it's really one of those half holidays where only certain members of the gainfully employed community actually have the time off.
Still, the message of exploration, discovery, is always worth reflecting on. There are few untouched regions left on this planet, so discovery has become more of a scientific pursuit than a geographical one. The joy of being the first to lay eyes on a new land somehow remains relatable however; cinema especially has never shied away from themes of exploration and discovery, even in its earliest days. After the jump you'll see some examples of our favorite discovery flicks.

Native Hawaiians Denounce Movie Title
24 September 2009 3:10 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
A movie based on the life of Hawaiian Princess Kaiulani has drawn fire from native Hawaiian groups, primarily because of its title -- Barbarian Princess. In a front-page article that appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser on Wednesday, University of Hawaii professor Jon Osorio was quoted as saying, "We really feel helpless to deal with producers ... who sensationalize our history in order to get to the wider audience." Vicky Holt Takamine, president of the Ilioulaokalani Coalition, called the title an "outrage." But Roy Tijoe, a co-owner of Island Film Group, which produced the $8-million movie insisted that the title was meant as "irony" and was drawn from newspaper accounts of the Princess's visit to the mainland shortly before the turn of the century. "It was a way to bring to the fore what had happened in the past," he said. (The role of Princess Kaiulani is played by Q'orianka Kilcher, who portrayed Pocahontas in 2005's The New World. The Advertiser noted that after an earlier protest the title was dropped, only to be reintroduced in time for a screening at the Hawaiian International Film Festival next month. The producers told the newspaper that they were unable to come up with another title that could pique interest in the movie as effectively as the original one. »

This Week on DVD: Crank 2: High Voltage, Dance Flick, Sleep Dealer
8 September 2009 10:02 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Well, you know your options are pretty limited when Crank 2: High Voltage and Dance Flick are the two biggest DVD releases for the week. Not only that, but if you're really dying to see Dance Flick, you'll need a Blu-ray player because the standard DVD isn't out until a few months later. Also hitting stores this week is Alex Rivera's indie sci-fi film Sleep Dealer, the fifth season of NBC's The Office, and the inaugural seasons of Fringe, Parks and Recreation and Important Things with Demetri Martin. If Dance Flick wasn't enough to convince you, however, there's another reason why this will be the week that Blu-ray truly catches on: Sylvester Stallone's Over The Top. To quote Lincoln Hawk: "When you want something, you gotta take it."

DVD Links: DVD News | Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed This week is a little light in terms of quality new releases, but there are a ton of new Blu-ray catalog titles hitting the shelves, which I have listed in the "Even More" section at the end, so don't overlook those. Crank 2: High Voltage I just reviewed the Blu-ray edition, which you can read right here, but to tell it to you simply, Crank 2 isn't very good and this is coming from someone that really liked the first one. However, it does have a solid group of supplements, but is it worth buying a DVD or Blu-ray just for the supplements if you don't like the movie? Requiem for a Dream [Blu-ray] I also just reviewed this one, which you can read right here. There really is no short version way to discuss this movie, or at least »
