‘Open Water’ Filmmakers Return To Sundance With ‘Silent House’ Remake
28 December 2010 2:30 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The Sundance Institute announced today that Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, the filmmakers behind the 2004 Sundance sensation Open Water, will return to the Sundance Film Festival with their next feature film -- Silent House will have its world premiere in the out-of-competition Park City at Midnight section. The movie, directed by Kentis and Lau based on a screenplay by Lau, is described as "A hauntingly choreographed descent into madness based on the Uruguayan film La Casa Muda." This "enthralling psychological thriller" is "impressively captured with a continuous camera shot." You might recall that I wrote about a film at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Gustavo Hernández's "The Slient House" which was a haunted house horror film which took place all within one 79-minute continous shot (read my review here ). This movie is an American remake of that film (note: the iamge above is from the original movie). Read the full press release after the jump. »

The Best 2010 “Guilty Pleasure” Movies
27 December 2010 12:35 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
#1- Machete
Directed by Robert Rodriguez and co-director Ethan Maniquis
It took three years, but Machete, whose fake trailer showcased before the B-picture homage Grindhouse, finally hit the cineplex. Anyone who found themselves excited by that teasing coming attraction will no doubt be satiated by the relentless onslaught of over-the-top violence, extreme gore, unnecessary nudity and cheap laughs that directors Rodriguez and Maniquis deliver in it’s full-length incarnation. Sugarcoat it with a dose of political satire and Machete is everything The Expendables should have been – self-aware, flashy and fun.
Rodriguez does a good job in updating a gritty, gory genre. His pic made-on-the-cheap mimics the grind house aesthetic right down to the choppy edits, 70′s style opening credits, the tongue and cheek use of funky soft core porn music (provided by Rodriguez’s band Chingon) and the grainy cinematography. More so the director summons influences of American Westerns and »

An Engaging, Inspiring and Provocative Look at Public Education: “Waiting for ‘Superman’”
23 December 2010 10:41 AM, PST | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
hollywoodnews.com: Academy Award®-winning director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) delivers another provocative film experience with his compelling and inspirational examination of American public education in “Waiting For ‘Superman,’” arriving on Blu-ray and DVD February 15, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Named the Best Documentary of the year by the National Board of Review, and cited by the American Film Institute as one of the year’s best movies, Waiting For “Superman” was called “an electrifying call to action” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), and has launched a movement to achieve real and lasting change in the nation’s schools.
The film depicts the moving and poignant struggles of real-life students and their families and the efforts of educators and reformers who are working to find viable solutions within a dysfunctional system. A stirring, must-see clarion call that has left audiences inspired and motivated to make a difference, Waiting For “Superman” is truly “a powerful, »

Top 10 episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
20 December 2010 9:08 AM, PST | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In 2004, three struggling actors, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day were not finding success by conventional means, and so decided to take matters into their own hands. The result was a short film based around a man trying to tell his friend he has cancer. After shopping the film to any studio that would see them, they received a commission, shot for less than $200, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia was born.
Not since Seinfeld has a sitcom rewritten the rules so successfully and It’s Always Sunny is the first since to raise the bar that Seinfeld had set 7 years previously. Originally using the same format of three guys and a girl (Danny De Vito joins the cast in season two) living their day-to-day lives with no obvious season arc, It’s Always Sunny follows the trials and tribulations as the main characters do everything they can to »

Al Gore Concedes The 2000 Presidential Election: Wake-Up Video
13 December 2010 5:00 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
One of the most contentious and embarrassing sequences of events in American political history came to a close on this day in 2000 when Al Gore conceded the presidential election to George W. Bush. Gore had been contesting the results of the vote because of the extremely narrow margin of victory his opponent possessed in the state of Florida (and because Gore had won the popular vote by half a million ballots). The legal struggle went all the way to the Supreme Court, who had also declared Bush the winner in its decision.
Along the way, the American electoral system was stretched to its limit. When the dust cleared on election day, Bush had nailed down the 270 electoral votes necessary for victory (he finished with 271). Gore even called to concede that night, though he called Bush a half hour later to retract that concession.
Why did he keep fighting? Gore was only five electoral votes behind, »

Waiting for Superman – review
27 November 2010 4:07 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Guggenheim has done some admirable work in both factual and fictional film, including episodes of Deadwood and the Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth. However, his much vaunted documentary about American education is a hectoring, simplistic affair that has nothing of value to contribute to the British debate. But what if it were marketed as "Something's Gotta Gove"?

An impassioned documentary about Us schools. Anyone with an interest in the coalition's education reforms will be watching closely. By Cath Clarke
How badly is the state school system failing in America? Badly enough for Bill Gates to make an appearance in this impassioned documentary from the director of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Like that film, this is a crusading call to action, full of entry-level facts, easy-as graphics and shocking statistics. (by 2020 only 50 million Americans will be qualified enough to fill 123m skilled jobs.) Geoffrey Canada is the star of the show, a charismatic education reformer who has transformed Harlem with a radical social experiment: the Harlem Children's Zone – which includes three independently operated public charter schools. The film-makers have come under fire and anyone with an interest in the coalition's education reforms will be watching closely. Heartbreakingly, the doc also follows five kids whose parents have entered »

"America Lost & Found: The Bbs Story" (1968-1972)
Released by Criterion Collection
A set of seven films that's as diverse and wild as the era in which they were born, Criterion's reassembly of Bbs Studios' run from 1968 through 1972 boasts influential hits like "Easy Rider," "Five Easy Pieces" and "King of Marvin Gardens" and obscurities like Jack Nicholson's directorial debut "Drive, He Said" and Henry Jaglom's "A Safe Place" that have never been on DVD before. New interviews, vintage documentaries and much more from directors Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich (whose "Last Picture Show" is also included), Nicholson and the late Dennis Hopper highlight a collection that doubles as a history of when there was a changing of the guard in American cinema.

Exit Through the Gift Shop earns guerrilla graffiti artist place on longlist for best documentary Oscar
The outsider status of graffiti artist Banksy took a further blow today with the announcement that he has been longlisted for an Oscar for his documentary film, Exit Through the Gift Shop.
The anonymous spray can provocateur may have begun his career tagging around his native Bristol, but he is now in danger of being embraced as firmly by the movie mainstream as he has been by the art world. Earlier this month the film, which received enthusiastic critical reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, was awarded a prestigious Grierson documentary award.
The film, which premiered at the Sundance film festival last year, was described by the artist as "the story of how one man set out to film the unfilmable – and failed". It tells the story of a Los Angeles T-shirt printer »

Baby Elephants, Orangutans and Morgan Freeman in ‘Born to Be Wild 3-D’ Trailer
18 November 2010 7:10 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Warner Bros.
There’s always been something comforting about a film with narration by Morgan Freeman.
A few years ago, we were treated to his strangely calming voice as we witnessed “The March of the Penguins.” Freeman even managed to give Stephen Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds” some extra class by book-ending the film with a smooth yet authoritative monologue.
Now, Morgan is back to narrate the story of orphaned elephants and orangutans, victims of man’s infiltration of their territories, and some of the interesting folks who rescue and raise them.
Captured in IMAX 3D, “Born to be Wild 3D” will transport moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo and across the Kenyan Savannah with primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas and elephant expert Dame Daphne Sheldrick as they and their team rescue these cute baby animals.

Oscar doc contender -- 'Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune'
17 November 2010 9:51 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Academy Awards voters may be singing the tunes of Phil Ochs when the nominees for Best Documentary Feature are announced on January 25th. As previous winners "Taxi to the Dark Side" and "An Inconvenient Truth" have taught us, Oscar voters love a good political romp and that defines this year's contender "Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune." The documentary (view trailer here) begins with a title card inviting us "to a party with music by Phil Ochs, singer of songs of protest, folk songs, and songs on current issues." Immediately, we're taken through the singer's controversial life in the spotlight: from his humble beginnings as a folk singer trying to make it in the music business, to a full-fledged political activist, and finally to a broken man who committed suicide in 1976. What starts out as a simple biography of Phil Ochs soon becomes so much more. "There But For Fortune" depicts America in 1960s, »
Lucy Walker's Waste Land
16 November 2010 7:30 AM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Waste Land is the second notable “real-time” documentary this year. The first was Catfish, which was quite different. “Real-time” means that the action occurs completely in front of the camera, without narration or talking heads telling or paraphrasing the story. Waste Land isn’t completely “real-time” like the facebook follies Catfish, but all of its powerful moments come from the fact that Lucy Walker’s camera was there to see the important events in the story rather than have them summarized. Waste Land is more akin to Walker’s first film and breakout Devil’s Playground than her previous release this year Countdown to Zero. Countdown felt much of Lawrence Bender’s, producer of An Inconvenient Truth, influence, featuring many talking heads and focusing solely on the political issues rather than the people. There was little live footage, but rather a lot of summary. In Waste Land, we get to »
Review: 'Cool It' An Uneven But Informative Doc That Challenges Current Notions Of Climate Change
13 November 2010 11:53 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Let's be frank, "An Inconvenient Truth" hasn't exactly aged well. It's a glorified slide-show at best, and although it brought the issue of the environment to the front of everyone's mind, it did so by inducing fear. It's not that there's nothing to be afraid of, but the way they did it is very questionable and we only have to direct you to the trailer to prove our point. Four years later, documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner ("Dig!," "We Live in Public") decided to retaliate with a movie following Bjorn Lomborg and his logic, which has made him an enemy of… »
Review: Cool It
13 November 2010 10:00 AM, PST | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
As a ecology and conservation biology student at Ut, I had a rather idealistic view of environmentalism -- until I took a course that focused on conservation, economics and technology. Between those teachings and 10 years at an environmental regulatory agency, I've become aware of the need for a more balanced and feasible approach. And yet it wasn't until seeing the documentary Cool It this week that I've admitted my skepticism about the doomsayer films that serve to alarm through extreme viewpoints rather than address the important global environmental issues.
The 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth has been credited with revitalizing the environmental movement and creating a better awareness for the general public about global warming. However, An Inconvenient Truth has been criticized of being both an exaggeration and alarming in context. Cool It centers around controversial author and Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg, who asserts that the attention global warming receives is »

Interview: Controversial Bjorn Lomborg Wants Us to ‘Cool It’
13 November 2010 7:11 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The subject of global warming is not going away, both from an environmental standpoint and as a debate. The argument that crystallized with Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” has effected politics, science and the thoughts of all world citizens. Academic Bjorn Lomborg contributes his point of view in the new documentary, “Cool It.”
Lomborg is a controversial figure in this debate. His book, “The Skeptical Environmentalist,” was a screed that contended that while global warming and climate change are a threat, it is neither the sky-is-falling rationalization on the Al Gore side, nor deserves the blithe dismissal of climate change deniers. Lomborg wants to approach the problem through a different lens, one he asserts is more centrist.

Given this approach, Lomborg has received more than his fair share of detractors. He makes this film to reach more people regarding his assertions, »
