Mad Max's Weekend Movie Guide: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' & More

23 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

"Spock, I do not know too much about these little Tribbles yet, but there is one thing that I have discovered. I like them … better than I like you." –Dr. McCoy, "Star Trek" (1967)

Greetings from the apocalypse! The trouble with Tribbles is not how cute they are but how much they multiply, or in the case of "Star Trek Into Darkness," the silly plot point for which they cameo. That's the only thing I'll spoil from that movie (besides that it stinks), but luckily there's some sweet alternatives this week that boldly go where no J.J. Abrams movie has gone before … coherence.

Friday, May 17

Pow! In Theaters

Oh boy. "Star Trek Into Dumbness" finally fulfills J.J. Abrams' five-year mission to run this franchise through a Cuisinart of stupidity. I would need a spoiler avalanche to make a proper case for how this sequel squanders classic characters and scenarios from »

Cannes 2013: The Great Gatsby Screens

15 May 2013 9:19 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Despite the promise of star wattage and spectacle in Baz Luhrmann's opulent 3D take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous tale of fast living in the Roaring Twenties, the Cannes film festival opened to noncommittal shrugs this morning at the first press screening of The Great Gatsby.As the 143-minute film came to a close there was a respectful silence, followed by a smattering of polite applause after the initial production credits. Surprisingly, there were few boos, a state of affairs that can largely be ascribed to the fact that the film has been screened to most European critics and has already opened in the Us, where its healthy opening-weekend figures have not been matched by positive reviews.As a Cannes opener, The Great Gatsby follows a recent pattern in that it is a mainstream auteur piece from a director with a distinct visual style, much in the same »

Six of the Best: The Directors – Wes Anderson

15 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Currently filming his latest comedy drama The Grand Budapest Hotel, which is set to star an ensemble cast including Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, and Saoirse Ronan, Wes Anderson has been producing quirky dramas for almost twenty years at this point in time.

Director, screenwriter, actor, and producer of features, short films and commercials, Anderson’s work is mostly known for his family struggles, flawed characters, British rock soundtracks, and colourful cinematography. Not only do his films compare in visual style, though, they also often include regular collaborators Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Owen and Luke Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman.

Here’s some of his best:

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

A personal favourite of mine is Anderson’s adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl book, Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2009. As one of his most recent pieces of work, it was hard to »

'Cloud Atlas', 'Liz & Dick' and 'Texas Chainsaw' on DVD and Blu-ray This Week

14 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Cloud Atlas The Wachowskis and co-director Tom Tykwer tackled some interesting things with Cloud Atlas and it had one of the best scores of last year, but I can't deny the fact I really have no interest in returning to it. The Blu-ray does have a large number of features to explore and perhaps a little more discussion could improve my impression, but after seeing it in Toronto last year, and discussing it there, I'm not sure there is much that could be revealed to change my opinion that much.

 

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Written and directed by Roman Coppola, this one arrived shortly after he and Wes Anderson were nominated for an Oscar for their Moonrise Kingdom screenplay, but the reviews and comments I've seen don't suggest this is a film worth searching out and, in all honesty, the involvement of Charlie Sheen turns »

Cannes 2012 Recap: How Did Last Year's Edition Hold Up in the Shadow of One of the Festival's Most Successful?

14 May 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

Going into last year's Cannes, we knew the crop of films had some mighty shows to fill. The 2011 edition of the festival resulted in one of the most successful Cannes slates ever, both in terms of the films' commercial success in America and how they played in awards season. (Don't get us wrong, in many ways these two things should not matter for the films that play at Cannes, but to some folks -- distributors, financiers -- they surely do.) Three films in official competition in 2011 -- "Midnight in Paris," "The Artist" and "Drive" -- ended up grossing north of $35 million in North America, while the festival saw its world premieres win a whopping six Oscars from 19 nominations, including the best picture winner "The Artist." Cannes all of a sudden seemed as commercial and Oscar-friendly as Toronto. So a year later, how does the follow-up edition to Cannes' mighty 2011 look? »

The Comedy Review

13 May 2013 3:15 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rick Alverson’s 2012 film The Comedy screened at Sundance last year and was On Demand before it ever reached theaters across the country. This isn’t an uncommon fate for low budget, independent films, and, in fact, this film probably fared better than most of its ilk. That said, its scope was still tiny and its audiences selective. The Comedy, though, is an important film in a certain sense, and its recent release on Netflix will make it more accessible than it has been since its release. I have to qualify its importance because it’s overtly aimed at hipsters (I’ll spare all of us the debate about what actually makes a hipster, the resistance to the label by the people to whom it applies, etc), and while these people only make up a tiny fraction of the population, the appropriation of the hipster image is in full force right now, »

Cannes 2012 Box Office Led by 'Moonrise Kingdom,' Will Strong Fest Sales Repeat in 2013?

13 May 2013 11:06 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

The Cannes 2012 box office results were up, particularly among the Palme d'Or contenders, led by Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," released by Focus Features to $46 million in North America. Those released so far have garnered a theatrical gross of about $119 million, compared to $102 million for the previous year, which included Oscar Best Picture winner "The Artist." (To keep this in perspective, those totals fall far short of what "Iron Man 3" grossed in its first weekend in the U.S./Canada.) With several titles still to be released and others still in play, the ultimate total could approach $130 million, a solid increase. (These totals exclude both "Madagascar 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," whose inclusion in the festival had more to do with European marketing launches than the specialized world; both grossed more in the U.S. than all the other films screened in their years combined).

Arthouse Audit: 'Stories We Tell' Shows Initial Strength, Sole Successful Opening

12 May 2013 1:14 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

So far the 2013 indie box office is running far behind last year--nothing comes close to 2012's booming "Best Exotic Marigold" or "Bernie," which were both standout performers far above this weekend's group of small-grossing releases, typical for this time of year. Few recent releases -- even those that had a glimmer of hope initially -- look to do as well as the best of a year ago. Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell" opened to a promising response, and should appeal to main limited situations as opposed to being rushed out wide as most recent successes have. By end of May last year, both Focus' successful "Moonrise Kingdom" and Weinstein's "Intouchables" had opened. Sony Pictures Classics' "Before Midnight" from Richard Linklater looms as a potential breakout film, and Noah Baumbach's "Frances Ha," which IFC opens next week, is backed by initial strong reviews and a possible strong appeal »

Summer Indie Box Office Preview: The 15 Films With The Most Breakout Potential

7 May 2013 7:20 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

"Iron Man 3" kicked the summer movie season off to a very lucrative start this past weekend, grossing $175 million in just three days to find the second biggest opening weekend of all time. Comparatively, the first weekend of the indie box office's summer didn't have much on "Iron Man" (though a different man -- "The Iceman" -- had a nice debut). But that's clearly not the expectation. Grossing $10 million for an indie is essentially like grossing $100 million for a studio tentpole. Last summer, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Moonrise Kingdom" were huge breakouts, each grossing north of $40 million. For a specialty summer release, that's a huge number. Over the past ten years, the summer season has usually managed just one breakout $20 million-plus specialty hit. Fifteen summer specialty releases have hit that mark since 2003, and three of those came from last summer: "Marigold," "Moonrise" and, yes, "2016: Obama's America." So »

Can Grown-Up Films Encroach on Summer’s Tentpole Tyranny?

1 May 2013 3:01 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Is Joss Whedon pushing his luck?

The idiosyncratic filmmaker who owned the box office last summer with “The Avengers” decided as his follow-up to shoot a contemporary, low-budget black and white version of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” — shot in 12 days at his Santa Monica house. Even more surprising, he went along with distributor Roadside Attractions’ decision to release it on June 7.

Whedon has Hollywood street smarts, so doesn’t he know that grown-up movies (especially Shakespeare) aren’t released in summer? That’s the time of year when Whedon’s comicbook heroes run rampant at the megaplexes and serious filmgoers feel excluded from the party.

Whedon’s a cocky guy, but most of his contemporaries aren’t. A glimpse of the Cannes schedule underscores the point: Alexander Payne’s new film, “Nebraska,” is playing at the festival but Paramount is holding its release until the fall Oscar corridor. »

Sundance London 2013 – Touchy Feely Review

27 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Marking Lynn Shelton’s return behind the camera following her acclaimed Your Sister’s Sister, Touchy Feely is yet another remarkable feature from one of the most unique voices in the industry.

Rosemarie DeWitt and Josh Pais are terrific as the co-leads of a brilliant ensemble cast. DeWitt plays Abby, a free-spirited massage therapist who is suddenly overcome by an aversion to contact with skin, rendering her incapacitated in both her profession and her love life with her boyfriend (Scoot McNairy).

Pais plays her brother, Paul, a quirky, uptight, and emotionally unavailable dentist whose daughter, Jenny (Ellen Page), helps his failing dentist practice find its feet when word begins to spread that he has a magical healing touch.

The two siblings start out about as different from one another as is possible. But over the course of the film, as Abby and Paul navigate their own personal journeys and begin »

Focus Features Acquires ‘The Dallas Buyers Club’ With McConaughey

25 April 2013 4:32 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »

Focus Features has purchased the Matthew McConaughey lead biopic, The Dallas Buyers Club. The production house – behind films like Moonrise Kingdom and The Kids Are Alright – has plans to release the film in theaters during the second half of this year. In the Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria) directed film McConaughey plays the central character Ron Woodroof, who the film is loosely based on. Woodroof is the real life founder of the Dallas Buyers Club. After contracting HIV in the 1980′s, Woodroof inadvertently creates an underground club that supplies its paying members with alternative medications for AIDS, smuggled in by Woodroof from all across the world.

Sundance London – Part One: ‘Upstream Color’ upstages silly and serious competition

23 April 2013 2:24 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The Kings of Summer empathises with two high school kids, Joe (Nick Robinson) and Patrick (Gabriel Basso), who trade their exasperated suburban living for an unconventional residency deep in the forest. With the assistance of affable yet creepy tag-along Biaggio (Moises Arias), the boys transform scraps of wood into an implausibly well-structured new home for fostering their abrupt adult life. As you’d expect, harsh lessons are soon learned.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ debut feature doesn’t establish anything especially new or bold as far as coming-of-age tales are concerned. Its thematic arc is well-trodden, concluding on general sentiments of self-sacrifice and the inherent worth of family and friendship, however fractured.

As a tale of misunderstood children escaping from their parents, Kings smacks of Moonrise Kingdom, except without any of the flavoursome aesthetic that lent that film its warmth. The odd glimpse of a liberating nature is savoured here in brief, slow motion breezes, »

Summer Movie Preview: The 50 Indies You Must See (Part 1)

22 April 2013 9:14 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

The summer movie season isn't exactly best known for independent film. With billions of dollars set to be spent on a vast amount of sequels and remakes ("The Hangover Part III," "Fast & Furious 6,""The Smurfs 2," "Kick Ass 2," "Grown Ups 2," "300: Rise of an Empire," etc, etc, etc.), one has to wonder: How much space is left for the little guys? But, while summer as a season will never equal the indie film hotbed that is the fall, in recent years there have actually been quite a few smaller scale breakouts during the studio's favorite months. Last year, for example, summer brought eventual best picture Oscar nominee "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and best documentary Oscar winner "Searching For Sugar Man," not to mention "Moonrise Kingdom," "Take This Waltz," "The Queen of Versailles," "Your Sister's Sister" and "The Loneliest Planet." That said, summer can be a particularly risky time to release an independent film, »

Edward Norton secretly married last year. The 'Moonrise Kingdom' actor tied the knot with Shauna Robertson - who he got engaged to in 2011 after six years of dating - some time in 2012, though no further information about the nuptials is available, Us Weekly magazine reports.

The 43-year-old actor and his film producer wife have not spoken out about the pregnancy and it was only confirmed in early March that Shauna was expecting.
