A Hot Docs, Silverdocs, Rotterdam and Karlovy Vary selected doc that has been mentioned in some programs as an Into the Wild-like in nature has won European Documentary Film Award's 2009 Prix Arte prize (for Best Doc). - A Hot Docs, Silverdocs, Rotterdam and Karlovy Vary selected doc that has been mentioned in some programs as an Into the Wild-like in nature has won European Documentary Film Award's 2009 Prix Arte prize (for Best Doc). Peter Liechti's The Sound of Insects -- Record of a Mummy was cited for "it's skillful exploration of minimalist means to create an extraordinary visual story between life and death". I'll would have made a call out for a screener copy, but I'll be catching the doc at Ridm Montreal next month - the trailer below basically demonstrates how you can do a lot with very little.

Quiz: Which movies reaped bids from the guilds but weren't nominated for best picture at the Oscars?
9 December 2009 7:47 AM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Last year, "The Dark Knight" nabbed top nominations from three of the key union kudos -- the producers, writers and directors guilds -- but it wasn't nominated for best picture at the Oscars! That same outrage occurred with several other films in past years. They include two movies pictured below. Can you spot them? To see the answer, click the "Continue Reading" link underneath the photos. Answer: "Almost Famous" and "Being John Malkovich." They also had Screen Actors Guild nominations for best ensemble. "Into the Wild" was nommed by the Directors Guild of America and the Writers Guild of America, but not the Producers Guild of America. "The Incredibles" was nommed by the PGA, but... »

The Best Films of the Decade (aka "The Naughties")

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry
List # 1
By Alex Simon
When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.
1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah. »

Johnny Marr to write debut film score
3 December 2009 3:13 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The former Smiths guitarist is to compose the music for a movie starring Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg. Don't hold your breath for a Morrissey cameo though ...
Johnny Marr will compose the score to a forthcoming film starring Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg. The former Smiths guitarist has been asked to write original music for The Big Bang, a detective film by director Tony Krantz.
"This will be Johnny's first film score and he was just ranked the number one greatest guitarist of all time by Virgin Media," producer Reece Pearson told MovieScore magazine. But while Marr is celebrated for his riffs, he is a relatively unknown when it comes to soundtracks. However, he has already announced a partnership with Ian Brown to score three television dramas, but it is unclear when these programmes will air.
The Big Bang is the story of a private detective, played by Banderas, as »

Wanna See the 'New' Face of Freddy Krueger?
1 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Warner Bros. has released new images from the forthcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, several of which you can see over at Omelete, including a large version of Freddy Krueger, which you can see below.
Some of the images, including the ones on this page, are high res stills from the trailer, but give you a pretty good idea of what Freddy Krueger's burned face is going to look like.
In the film, a group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another...but when they sleep, there is no escape.
The question on everyone's mind is, of course, will Jackie Earle Haley do justice to the iconic role? And will a new generation come to embrace him (poor choice of phrases, »
Video - Anti-'Twilight' Trailer 'Inglourious Vampires'
30 November 2009 10:37 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Perhaps it's better in theory than execution, but I give the makers of this spoofified mash-up of Inglorious Basterds and New Moon called - as you can plainly see - Inglourious Vampires.
Here's what I like about it: It's not often you get cultural subtext in your fan-made movie spoofs, but that's the best part of this. Movie fans who consider themselves more cultured or evolved have their noses pretty high in the air about the teenage vampire movies, and it's not a stretch to think that some of them may have drawn some sort of invisible line in a patch of invisible sand about the Twilight saga. It's really no different than The Notebook...only in a much more pervasive and Beatlemaniacal way.
You could get caught up in how so-so the production elements and acting are in Inglourious Vampires, but why? And yes, as the recruit says, Kristen Stewart »

That Evening Sun's Hal Holbrook: A Candid, Emotional Movieline Interview
19 November 2009 11:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
It's time to move Hal Holbrook off the Oscar bubble and into the fold. The 84-year-old actor delivers arguably the performance of his career in That Evening Sun, director Scott Teems's terrific adaptation of the William Gay short story "I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down." Holbrook plays Abner Meecham, a Tennessean banished by his lawyer son (Walton Goggins) to a nursing home he'll soon flee in disgust. Returning to his farm, Abner discovers the Choate family -- led by ne'er-do-well patriarch Lonzo (Ray McKinnon) -- occupying the house he and his late wife built from scratch. When Abner decides to set up house in the tenant's quarters, the ensuing battle of wills between he and Lonzo zig-zags from comic to gothic to disturbingly violent -- thanks much to Holbrook's scenic route along the spectrum between righteousness and utter sociopathy. Imagine his celebrated character in Into the Wild »
Kristen Stewart looks beyond Bella
18 November 2009 | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I admit that the standing-in-line-for-days furor around New Moon mystifies me. I mean please, this is not The Final Ever Until Lucas Gets Another Idea Star Wars movie.
I also admit that I am old and a bit of a snob.
But last week, a young bisexual friend of mine put it in perspective for me with two words: Kristen Stewart.
My friend explained to me that while she certainly is a huge fan of the Twilight franchise, she would go see Kristen Stewart in anything. She just can’t take her eyes off of her. And it dawned on me: Stewart is my friend’s Meryl Streep. And judging by the responses of AfterEllen.com readers at any mention of Stewart, not to mention Hot 100 status, she’s not alone.
I have followed Kristen since Panic Room. She was able to make an impression even sharing the screen with Jodie Foster — no easy task. »

Interview: Hal Holbrook And That Evening Sun Director Scott Teems
17 November 2009 12:52 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Writer-director Scott Teems knew he'd written himself into a corner with That Evening Sun, an adaptation of William Gay's short story about an 80-something Southern man fighting to keep his house in the face of advanced age, surly renters and an indifferent son. Teems realized that there were very few elderly actors who could handle the role, much less the Southern accent, but he knew one guy who'd be perfect for it-- Hal Holbrook, the veteran actor recently Oscar nominated for Into the Wild, who knows a thing or two about remaining steadfast and stubborn into your 80s. In That Evening Sun, Holbrook plays Abner Meecham, a man who escapes from the retirement home to move back to his old farm, only to find that his son has rented out the place to another family, led by Lonzo Choat (Ray McKinnon), who hates Abner as much as Abner hates him. »
New Moon Round-Up: Kristen Stewart's 'Truth Machine,' Twilight House For Sale
16 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
About 79 hours remain before New Moon makes its midnight debut, which can only mean navigating a steady torrent of related news as the hype flood swirls around us. Find below a few of the more compelling subplots to consider as you prepare for zero-hour:
· Kristen Stewart isn't aloof, reports the Nyt -- she's just guarding herself against the horrors of abject teen stardom. To that end, says her Into the Wild director Sean Penn, she's a "truth machine" who admirably endures public scrutiny that would be "an obscenity on anybody's life." Stewart herself looks forward to the film's mall tour with the reassuring observation: "[T]hey could totally assassinate me at any time if they wanted. When so much energy is thrown at you, it has to throw you for a loop." Great. This may be the first time Kevlar is added to a tour rider. »
Alabama Moon | Review

Director: Tim McCanlies Writer(s): Watt Key (novel, screenplay) Starring: Jimmy Bennett, Gabriel Basso, Uriah Shelton, Clint Howard Moon (Jimmy Bennett) and his Pap (J.D. Evermore) are living the Libertarian dream – Ayn Rand and Ron Paul would be proud of this duo – illegally homesteading in the backcountry of rural Alabama. Pap raises Moon to never trust anyone, especially the government. That’s all well and good until Pap dies, leaving eleven year old Moon all alone in the wilderness. Moon opts to foot it towards Alaska (the Libertarian, survivalist and secessionist Mecca). It is not long before the local constable (Clint Howard) – who must have learned everything he knows about policing from Roscoe P. Coltrane – and his hound dog are hot on Moon’s trail. Moon is apprehended and sent to a boy’s prison called Pinson, but his inner wild child cannot be held by any cage. Moon »

Beverly Hills, California — Asking fans to name the best "Twilight Saga" actor inevitably results in a debate only slightly less passionate than the topic of whether "Breaking Dawn" was a worthy finale for the novels. No matter who your pick is, however, it's hard to deny that at the tender age of 19, Kristen Stewart has positioned herself to become a dominant Hollywood actress for decades to come.
With more than 20 movies under her belt, acclaim in such wide-ranging flicks as "Into the Wild," "Panic Room" and "Adventureland," and praise from the likes of Jodie Foster and Ryan Reynolds, KStew is undoubtedly an actress to watch.
But according to her, it was next week's "New Moon" that demanded some of the most difficult work yet in her young career. »
Southern Ethics:[p]That Evening Sun
10 November 2009 7:30 AM, PST | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
With That Evening Sun, first time writer/director Scott Teems has adapted a modern Southern story (I Hate To See That Evening Sun Go Down, by Tennessee writer William Gay) into a elegiac, quiet film with heart, rugged authenticity, and a stubborn mule of a central character, portrayed by veteran actor Hal Holbrook. Holbrook's revelation of a performance in Sean Penn's Into the Wild two years ago (for which he received his first Oscar nomination at the age of 82 - the oldest actor ever nominated) caught Teems' eye; as he said, 'We knew we'd found our Abner.' Abner Meecham is an 80-year-old widower whose only son has moved him from his farm in West Tennessee into an assisted living facility several hours away. When Abner decides he's had enough of the place, he hitches back to the farm, only to find it (legally) occupied by the family of Lonzo Choat, »
