Tom Hanks' Next Oscar?
8 May 2013 11:08 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's weird to say that Tom Hanks is experiencing a renaissance, but: Tom Hanks is experiencing a renaissance. In the last week alone, Hanks was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in "Lucky Guy" and named the Most Trusted Person in America by Reader's Digest readers. Now, he's at the center of the first trailer for "Captain Phillips."
The fact-based film stars Hanks in the title role as Maersk Alabama captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage when his ship was captured by Somali pirates in 2009. The Maersk Alabama was the first U.S.-flagged ship hijacked since the 19th century.
"They're not here to fish," Hanks-as-Phillips says about a couple of rogue boats approaching his ship. That's when all hell breaks loose, with director Paul Greengrass ("The Bourne Ultimatum") seemingly cutting things together with the goal of maximizing the audiences' capacity to grip the armrests of their seats. »

‘The Story of Luke’ Review
27 April 2013 12:06 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Dewshane Williams, Seth Green, Lou Taylor Pucci, Cary Elwes, Al Sapienza, Kristin Bauer | Written and Directed by Alonso Mayo
Autism awareness has steadily increased over the last decade. Though the public is far more educated on the topic than the past, a large misunderstanding still remains. The spectrum of autism is vast covering a variety of characteristics and behaviors, which may help explain why it has been handled so differently in films. Films like Rain Main present it with more of a comedic edge, while something like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close relies more on the dramatic aspects. Alonso Mayo’s The Story of Luke cuts the difference. The Story of Luke is small indie dramedy that puts a small twist on the coming of age tale. While the story is certainly familiar, its large amount of sincerity causes it to be touching tale of overcoming odds. This slice-of-life »

Mark Roybal Leaving Indian Paintbrush To Become Exec Veep At 20th Century Fox
16 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Mark Roybal, the well-respected president of Steven Rales’ indie production shingle Indian Paintbrush, is leaving. He is being hired by 20th Century Fox production president Emma Watts to become Evp Production. He fills the slot that Peter Kang left when he exited the studio and subsequently signed on at Paramount. I’m told that Roybal will oversee Gone Girl and the Matt Reeves-directed sequel Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Gone Girl, an adaptation of the Gillian Flynn bestseller, is the odds-on favorite to be the next film that David Fincher directs. He leaves Rales’ Indian Paintbrush in a good place. The company has established itself as a respected financier and producer of classy fare, from the Drake Doremus-directed Like Crazy to the Wes Anderson-directed Moonrise Kingdom and his follow-up The Grand Budapest Hotel. Also coming is Jason Reitman’s next film, Labor Day. Roybal’s exit is amicable. »

7 Actors Who Deeply Regretted Their Roles
9 April 2013 2:25 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
When his son asked him why he played King Koopa in Super Mario Bros, Dennis Hopper answered, ”Well, Henry, I did it so that you could have shoes”. To which Henry replied, ”Dad, I don’t need shoes that badly”.
We’ve all made mistakes, but the acting profession has a peculiar way of atoning for the past. Rather than brave the braying crowds after a bad performance, a number of actors have joined our ranks and booed their film into the ground. Some have been humble enough to criticise their own work, others have instead lashed out at everyone around them. Is this honesty a rare and refreshing pin-prick to overinflated egos, or are these stars simply having their cake (or cheque) and eating it?
Call it damage limitation. Call it biting that hand that feeds. But if it keeps little Henry in shoes, then it’s a job well done. »

Watch: Mira Nair Returns With Trailer for 9/11 Drama 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'
21 February 2013 7:52 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
The film industry has struggled with depictions of 9/11 up to know. Usually, the events of September 11th are depicted with emotionally manipulative sentimentalism that is nearly offensive ("Remember Me") or as a blatant attempt at Oscar-grabbing ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"). So it's perfectly understandable to feel trepidation, or even a sinking sense of dread, when a film is described as a "post-9/11 drama." Mira Nair's "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," based on the best selling 2007 novel by Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid, seems to mainly avoid these treacly tropes however, with more of a personal character study of profiling and racial alienation after the attacks. Riz Ahmed ("Four Lions") stars alongside Liev Schrieber, Kate Hudson, and Kiefer Sutherland in the story of a Pakistani Wall Street employee whose life changes after 9/11. This is "Monsoon Wedding" director Nair's first film »

Blu-ray Review: Creepy Jolts Compensate for Weak Drama in ‘The Possession’
30 January 2013 5:03 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – In the last days of August 2012, three generically titled ghost pictures had the misfortune of opening at more or less the exact same time. None of them were particularly memorable, yet only one managed to produce any semblance of genuine chills. There are enough eerie moments in “The Possession,” the demonic thriller from gifted Danish director Ole Bornedal, that one wishes that it pushed past the boundaries of its tame PG-13 rating.
The script by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White is a Judaic variation on “The Exorcist,” complete with a hasidic scholar barking out chants just like Max Von Sydow. The success of this formula succeeds or fails largely on the strength of its central performance from the possessed victim, which often takes the form of a young girl. “Exorcist” star Linda Blair set a spectacularly high bar that no imitator has been able to equal, and “The Possession”’s pint-sized leading lady, »

Juan Antonio Bayona Nabs New Film
26 January 2013 4:17 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Having tackled horror with The Orphanage and true-life tragedy in The Impossible (which has been winning awards attention), it appears Juan Antonio Bayona’s next target is science fiction. He’s come aboard Warner Bros.’ currently-untitled sci-fi project. The film is currently being kept strictly under wrap – so strictly that not even a basic plot description crops up in Variety’s story. What we do know is this: Kevin McCormick, who produced Gangster Squad and romantic drama The Lucky One is serving the same duty here as the project bubbles away in development at Warners.The script is by Eric Roth, who has written such films as Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, Forrest Gump, The Insider, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Munich and Ali. So while we know almost nothing about what the final movie will be, it has a solid shot at being great with Bayona directing and »
Only 261 Days Until "Gravity" Drops
16 January 2013 3:01 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Solaris (2002)Remember that blissful time a year ago when we thought we would have Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity in theaters for 2012. It was not to be but the film finally has a release date in October 4th, 2013. There are still no official photos of this movie so enjoy this still of George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh's remake of Solaris (2002), his only previous sci-fi outing. ... unless you'd like to count Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988).
The release date is already crowded with the Vince Vaughn sperm donor comedy The Delivery Man (another sperm donor comedy... I thought we were done with those!), the 3D conversion of Revenge of the Sith, and the corporate thriller Paranoia which pairs young Liam Hensworth with Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford.
Gravity, in case you've forgotten, is an expensive 3D technological marvel (we're told) which is also an experimental dramatic two hander about a medical »

You decide: Will 'Twilight' finale win Worst Picture at the Razzies?
11 January 2013 6:47 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Despite relatively respectable reviews – scoring 52 on MetaCritic, better, for instance than 2011 Best Picture Oscar nominee "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" – "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2" swept the Razzie nominations with 11, including Worst Picture. If it wins, it would be the best reviewed movie ever to do so at the Razzies, based on available MetaCritic scores. -Insertgroups:12- The film will have strong competition from a pair of previous winners. Adam Sandler co-wrote, produced, and starred in last year's Worst Picture, "Jack and Jill," which swept all 10 Razzie categories. He returns this year with another widely panned starring vehicle: the comedy "That's My Boy," in which he plays a man who fathered a child with his teacher when he was 13. The film is up for eight prizes, including Worst Actor for Sandler. Eddie Murphy was a multiple winner for "Norbit" in 2007. This year, »
Oscars 2013: The Good, The Bad, and The Shameful
11 January 2013 2:47 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Yesterday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their nominees for this year’s Oscar ceremony. As always, it has drawn sharp criticism from folks all over the world. I was especially incensed at some of the major snubs, and delighted by others.
So, let’s hash it out. I’m going to tell you what I feel were legit picks, and god-awful picks. I’m also going to cover what I feel were the most unkind snubs this year. So, let’s get this pity party started shall we?
The Good:
Moonrise Kingdom – Best Original Screenplay
Those who know me are aware of how much I adored this film. The charm lies in its beautiful and unique screenplay, along with a perfect cast that only a director of Wes Anderson’s calibre could assemble. (Although it should have received more than just a screenplay nod.)

Oscar Nomination Predictions
10 January 2013 6:47 AM, PST | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
From about the age of ten, I have been inexplicably fascinated with the Academy Awards. If pressed to explain the foundation of this obsession with an awards show from what is ultimately just an arbitrary body of members with vastly varying tastes across the many different disciplines it requires to put a competent movie up on the silver screen, I’m not sure I could muster up a satisfactory response.
I suspect at the time my Oscar obsession grew from what seemed like the perfect marriage between the art of cinema and the competition of sports, but even now, these many years later, after hours of voluntary studying of countless Oscar books (to the point where I can name every Best Picture winner chronologically from memory), I still can’t explain it in any way that doesn’t make me sound like some freakish Oscar junkie. Nevertheless, between the Oscar season and the NFL playoffs, »

2013 Oscar Nominations Announced; Lincoln Leads with 12 Nominations, Kathryn Bigelow and Ben Affleck Snubbed for Best Director
10 January 2013 5:52 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The nominations for the 85th Academy Awards have been announced, and it's quite a whirlwind of nominees. As expected, Lincoln landed the most nominations with 12, followed with Ang Lee's Life of Pi which nabbed 11. The big story here, though, is the Best Director category. Shockingly, only two (two!) of the DGA nominees for Best Director made the Oscar cut: Ang Lee and Steven Spielberg. The rest of the category was filled out by Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild, David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook, and Michael Haneke for Amour. It was almost guaranteed that Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow would be landing nominations for Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, respectively, but shockingly neither made the cut. Apparently those films just directed themselves. Based off today's nominations, it now looks like it's (surprisingly) down to Lincoln vs. Silver Linings Playbook for the big win. Hit the jump »

Oscars 2013 Noms: 10 Outside Possibilities
10 January 2013 4:02 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With the 85th Academy Awards nominations landing at 1:30Pm GMT, movie buffs the world over are busy cramming in their last-minute predictions, as well as their theories about what’s going to get snubbed, and what just might sneak into what is, as it is every year, a very crowded and competitive race. What’s great this year is that there’s no clear front-runner overall, which makes it all the more exciting and unpredictable, and also invites any number of actors and films to sneak into various categories and nab a surprise nomination.
Here are 10 outside possibilities to watch for the Oscars.
Best Picture – Skyfall
Given how the latest James Bond film has been not only the highest-grossing Bond film of all time, but also the highest-grossing UK film ever, as well as garnering some of the best reviews of the franchise, there’s bound to be plenty »

2013 Oscar nominations predictions: From Best Picture to Best Animated Feature
9 January 2013 10:50 AM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
When it comes to predicting Oscar nominations, the only thing we know for sure is that there will be surprises. The amount of awards leading up to Hollywood's biggest honors both clarify and confuse what movies and which actors are likely to land an Oscar nod.
The industry's guild awards usually make the best indicators but Golden Globes, critics awards and the British Academy (BAFTA) picks provide their own clues -- sometimes misleading.
The following predictions represent what we think will happen in nine top categories when Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announce the 2013 Oscar nominees in less than 24 hours. But we're also hoping for surprises. That's part of the fun.
Best Picture
Predictions: "Argo"; "Beasts of the Southern Wild"; "Django Unchained"; "Les Miserables"; "Life of Pi"; "Lincoln"; "Moonrise Kingdom"; "Silver Linings Playbook"; "Zero Dark Thirty"
Alternate picks: "Amour"; "Skyfall"

Razzies Got It Wrong: In Defense Of 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2'
9 January 2013 9:52 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Before we say anything else, there's something that must be said. Yes, we are MTV, the same MTV that, for the past five years, has heaped Golden Popcorn onto "The Twilight Saga," an otherwise award-less franchise. (Hey, sorry for giving our audience what they want, right?) We've been a home for wayward Twi-hards from the very beginning, but before you dismiss what we have to say, hear us out.
"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" simply did not deserve the public shaming at the hands of the Razzies, who officially announced their Worst Achievement in Film nominees today.
The anti-Academy Awards, which traditionally announce their nominees a day before their unironic counterpart, unleashed 11 nominations for Golden Raspberries onto the fifth "Twilight" film, despite there only being ten categories. The closest contender, "That's My Boy," only managed to fail to the tune of eight nominations.
Hardy har har. The "Twilight" movies aren't great cinema. »
