This Week in DVD & Blu-ray: The Expendables, I’m Still Here, Flipped, The Disappearance of Alice Creed, and More
23 November 2010 4:00 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
This Week in DVD & Blu-ray is a column that compiles all the latest info regarding new DVD and Blu-ray releases, sales, and exclusive deals from stores including Target, Best Buy and Fry’s. The Disappearance Of Alice Creed The Disappearance of Alice Creed opens with two men prepping for what we can only assume—given the title of the film (despite any revelations about its meaning that may come later)—is a kidnapping. We assume correctly. They pull a girl into a van, tie her to a bed, strip her of all her clothes, snap photos of her, and put new clothes on her. All of this takes places without any dialogue, or any understanding of who these people are, how they know each other, or what their motivations are. The less you know about what happens from that point forward, the better. This is the sort of assured, smartly »

‘Deathly Hallows’ Scores Series-High Weekend
21 November 2010 6:41 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
As expected, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 dominated the box office, overshadowing any and all competition the weekend before Thanksgiving. But the seventh installment of the wizard franchise reached new heights, breaking new records as it soared into theaters.
Warner Bros’ Hallows made an estimated $125.1 million over the three-day period, easily besting the previous best $102.7 million debut by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2004. The total ranks seventh among 3-day grosses and second for a November start.
The latest Jk Rowling adaptation started with $24 million from roughly 3,700 midnight shows, not quite as high as The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, but the biggest for Potter thus far. This contributed to a $61.15 million Friday, the fifth-largest single day take in box office history. Then dipped to a still strong Saturday and Sunday closed out the massive debut.
Potter opened day-and-date in several overseas markets, especially crushing it in »

19 November 2010 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon has once again planted terror into the hearts of horror fans. 'Husk', the sixth chilling feature film as part of the After Dark Originals is a gruesome tale written and directed by Brett Simmons ('Mark of Love') based on Simmons' short film of the same name. The film stars Wes Chatham ('The Unit', 'In the Valley of Elah'), C.J. Thomason ('The Big Bank Theory'), Devon Graye ('Scar 3D' and Showtime's 'Dexter'), the stunning Tammin Sursok (whom we just had to give you a slew of hot pics of below) and Ben Easter. »
Movie Review: The Next Three Days (2010)

Elizabeth Banks and Russell Crowe in The Next Three Days
Photo: Lionsgate Paul Haggis may have been bitten by the action bug when he was hired to polish up the scripts for both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. With his latest film, The Next Three Days, he moves from his more melodramatic work on films such as the Best Picture-winning Crash and In the Valley of Elah to a so-so prison break thriller that suffers from too many highs and lows as Haggis was never able to get a handle on the tension of the film. This film stutters in 5-10 minute bursts, each coming to a close only to ask the audience to start over again with the very next scene. These jagged ups and downs never allow it to find a balance.

Paul Haggis The Next Three Days Interview
18 November 2010 4:01 PM, PST | movies.about.com | See recent About.com Hollywood Movies news »
Writer/director Paul Haggis (Crash, In the Valley of Elah) has been in the news recently because he's considering taking on the job of remaking the critically acclaimed Spanish thriller Celda 211. But before he tackles that, he's out promoting his upcoming action drama The Next Three Days. The Next Three Days finds Russell Crowe playing an ordinary man who has to take extraordinary action to free his wife from jail after she's convicted of murder. The film also stars Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks, and Olivia Wilde and will be released in theaters this weekend.
At the 14th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala, Haggis chatted up The Next Three Days and lavished praise on his lead actor, Russell Crowe:

The Next Three Days Review
18 November 2010 3:09 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If he’s not trying to cram a heavy-handed message about Important Things down his audience’s throat, it turns out that writer/director Paul Haggis can make a decent thriller. The Next Three Days is a welcome departure for Haggis, who instead of preaching about race (Crash) or the Iraq War (In the Valley of Elah), crafts an exciting, prison-break film with a strong central performance from Russell Crowe. While some may love it when a plan comes together, The Next Three Days shows how it can be far more exciting when a plan falls apart.
Lara Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) is about to be sent to prison for the rest of her life for a crime her husband John (Russell Crowe) believes she did not commit. John embarks on an ambitious plan to break Lara out of jail even though she’s resigned herself to her fate. The Next Three Days »

Film: Movie Review: The Next Three Days
18 November 2010 12:21 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Adapted from the 2008 French thriller Pour Elle, Paul Haggis’ The Next Three Days runs nearly half an hour longer, and in genre movies like this, every extra minute is a lost one. Attempting to pivot from the weighty self-importance of his last two efforts, In The Valley Of Elah and the Oscar-winning Crash, Haggis tries to fashion a straightforward, relatively unpretentious prison-break thriller, but old habits die hard. What might have been a simple, propulsive story about a man’s single-minded mission to bust his wife out of jail instead feels needlessly cumbersome, burdened by moral questions that don »
[Review] The Next Three Days
17 November 2010 10:45 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
His writing may be somewhat derivative and his direction may be somewhat bland, but few filmmakers can build a scene like Paul Haggis. What starts as the next logical puzzle piece transforms with a gesture, a line or a look from a character in said scene, and the entire demeanor of the moment changes. Crash was full of them and In The Valley Of Elah ended with a particularly miscalculated one. The Next Three Days, though it lacks the topical “importance” of his two previous films, progresses scene by scene to a breakneck ending, complimented by full characters leads Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks fill out nicely.
Thirty or forty years ago, anti-studio directors like Sam Peckinpah or Sam Fuller would’ve taken on material as primal (and action-packed) as this: a wife is arrested for a brutal murder and sent to prison for life, leaving her husband with their young son. »

Sliff 2010 Review: A Marine Story
12 November 2010 6:30 PM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
A Marine Story takes a story as old as movies itself and gives it a fresh new spin. The Best Years Of Our Lives through In The Valley Of Elah have explored the theme of soldiers returning home. This time the focus is a female soldier and a military policy that has been much in the news in the last few years.
Alexandra Everett (Dreya Weber) is a career marine who return to her rural, dusty California hometown after a log hitch in the Middle East. After getting off the train with no one to welcome her back , she walks through the streets and sees all the boarded up businesses. Stopping at a convenience store she forcibly detains a young man shoplifting while his girlfriend who was distracting the clerk takes off. The local sheriff chastises Alex for getting involved, although they are severely understaffed and can’t handle the »

12 November 2010 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
After winning an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for his directorial debut Crash , which also won Best Picture that year, Paul Haggis tackled the topic of soldiers returning home from Iraq in In the Valley of Elah , a movie that had troubles finding an audience despite its all-star cast. With The Next Three Days , Haggis switches gears into the realm of action thriller while retaining his strong sense of character and drama from his previous films. Based on the French thriller Pour Elle , the movie stars Russell Crowe as John Brennan, an English teacher in Pittsburgh whose wife Lara (Elizabeth Banks) is convicted of murdering her female boss shortly after an altercation. Convinced his wife is innocent, John begins planning a way to break her out of the high-security jail in »
Hollywood’s First War
11 November 2010 12:58 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
As happens every year around this time, the cable spectrum has been heavily laced with programming throughout the week commemorating Veterans Day. HBO trundled out its full epic and brutal miniseries The Pacific for a one-day re-run broken up by the debut of the James Gandolfini-hosted documentary War Torn 1861-2010, a disturbing look at the psychological scars America’s soldiers have suffered in every conflict since The Civil War; The History Channel ran an all-day marathon of Ww II in HD, sprinkling its commercial breaks for the week with commemorative spots; AMC ran a day of war movies like The Enemy Below (1957) and A Few Good Men (1992) under the umbrella, “Vets Best” ; and so on.
The bulk of memorializing programming focused on World War II – unsurprising, in that it remains, to this day, America’s greatest, defining, and least morally problematic war. Even 65 years later, despite a half-century of »

Too many interviews are bloodless exercises in forced politeness. They don't sound like real conversations people have about movies, which are at their best when there's disagreement and contention. So it's always refreshing when you find something like Scott Foundas' interview with Paul Haggis in the new Film Comment. Foundas was the man who helped lead the backlash against the eventual 2004 Best Picture winner writing, amongst other things, that "Crash" was "the best movie of the year for people who like to say, 'A lot of my best friends are black.'" Instead of pretending he never made those comments, he confronts them, confirms them, and gives Haggis a chance to respond during their conversation. Here's some of what Haggis had to say:
"I didn't actually ever know if it was a good movie or not, and I still don't...I didn't know if it was a good screenplay when we finished it. »
