‘Mud’ Review
24 May 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Paulson, Ray McKinnon, Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon, Paul Sparks, Joe Don Baker | Written and Directed by Jeff Nichols
Writer-Director Jeff Nichols’s latest film Mud is a coming of age tale that combines the country brashness of Huck Finn with the grand adventure of Stand By Me, and adds the ability to capture a rustic subculture similar to Beasts of the Southern Wild. All these different elements come together to tell a deeply personal tale of the complexities of life, love, and the bitter sweetness of growing old. This modern fable brings you deep into the makings of its character to provide a unique prospective to this naturalistic world. Nearly every performance has an impeccable sense of authenticity. Much of the story rest on the shoulders of the film’s two young leads, and they carry that weight with a »

Top Ten 2010s... So Far
21 May 2013 7:30 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I just spent 108 minutes catching up with Jesse and Celine. We've met them twice Before... and I spent the first 2/3rds of the movie grinning like a damn fool I was so happy to be marinating in their always passionate detour-filled conversations. It's too early to say how much I loved the movie (though I did) but it got me to thinking what an achievement this series is and got me to thinking of true movie magic and how much of it we've had lately. So while so many of my fellow critics enjoy their mad rush through Auteursville at Cannes tonight I'm remembering the time I fell in love with this movie...
...and that one
...and that one
...and that one.
Here's my ten favorite movies of the 'Teens (2010-2019) ... so far of course

TWC's Coming Attractions: Oscar 2014 Watch
20 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Cannes Film Festival 2013: Harvey Weinstein’s Academy Awards Preview Show (Photo: Fruitvale Station, with Michael B. Jordan) Harvey Weinstein’s Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions Special, a showcase of upcoming The Weinstein Company releases, is now regarded as one of the Croisette’s key film events. Because it provides a hint at who or what will win the Palme d’Or? Get real. Even at Cannes, it’s all about the Academy Awards. This year, Cannes Official Competition Jury Member Nicole Kidman was Weinstein’s co-presenter. And no, there wasn’t any influence peddling involved. Kidman was there because she is the star of The Weinstein Company’s upcoming Grace of Monaco, in which she plays another K-named movie star, Grace Kelly. And let’s not forget that 11 years ago Kidman won a Best Actress Oscar for The Hours, distributed by — at the time — the Weinstein-ruled Miramax. Two movies »

'Ain't Them Bodies Saints'' Doomed Lovers Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck on Cannes Reception and Those Terrence Malick Comparisons
20 May 2013 10:21 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
A few months after world premiering at Sundance to great acclaim, David Lowery's "Badlands"-style love story "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" had its European unveiling at Cannes over the weekend, following in the footsteps of last year's "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which went on a similar journey before going on to become an Academy Award-nominated indie sensation. Whether the drama has "Beasts"' legs remains to be seen. All we can tell you is that the buzz is warranted. Lowery's drama is the real deal. The morning following its Cannes bow in the Director's Fortnight sidebar, Indiewire sat down with the film's two stars, Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck, to talk about the Cannes reception, revisiting their own work and whether the Lowery-Terrence Malick comparisons many critics have made are valid. Has the film changed since Sundance? Rooney Mara: A little bit, but I'm not sure you'd notice. »

Cannes 2013: For Those In Peril Review
19 May 2013 2:35 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
It is an unfortunate part of the Cannes film festival that some gems of cinema end up lost to many because they are selected in the sidebars, rather than the main selections. Logistical problems abound with the Director’s and Critic’s selections – not least that they tend to fall at the same time as Competition screenings, or that they generally play in smaller, vastly over-subscribed venues – and so many are forced to admit defeat and not see the films in question.
That goes doubly for the films when they are as good as For Those In Peril, the feature debut from Scotland’s Paul Wright. It is a stark and grim film, shot in the wonderfully atmospheric coastal village of Gourdon in Aberdeenshire, but it is a wholly gripping, and at times utterly devastating portrayal of post-trauma and grief.

Michael Jordan Is Finally Famous
17 May 2013 8:58 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France — Before "Fruitvale Station," Michael B. Jordan was glimpsed sporadically in supporting roles on TV shows like "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights," and in films like "Chronicle" and "Red Tails."
That changes emphatically with "Fruitvale Station," a Sundance hit that premiered Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival. In the film, he plays Oscar Grant, the 22-year-old victim of the infamous 2009 police shooting on the Oakland, Calif., transit system.
To humanize Grant, first-time filmmaker Ryan Coogler fashioned the movie around his last day: Jordan hardly leaves the frame.
"When I first saw it, I was like, `Man, can we cut to something else? I'm tired of looking at myself right now,'" Jordan said in an interview by the beach off the Croisette. "That's when it really sunk in that this is sink or swim. Sink or swim. Hope I'm swimming."

Cannes 2013: Fruitvale Station First Reaction
16 May 2013 5:50 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Fruitvale Station arrived in Cannes last night fresh from its triumph at the Sundance film festival in January, where it won the Grand Jury Prize, taking the now-annual slot previously given to the likes of Precious and Beasts Of The Southern Wild. However, although it is extraordinarily well made for a debut feature and boasts a career-making performance from Chronicle's Michael B Jordan, Ryan Coogler's film doesn't quite have the same breakout potential of those other two. Both Coogler and his leading man will certainly get deserved festival attention for the rest of 2013, but it's hard to see Fruitvale Station as a commercial proposition outside of the Us.Based on a true story, the film begins with cameraphone footage of police arresting and intimidating a group of African-Americans in Oakland, California. Tensions escalate, a shot is fired, and we backtrack through 24 hours in the life of the victim, a »

Cannes 2013: Fruitvale Station Review
16 May 2013 8:16 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Occasionally Cannes will follow the trend set by Sundance, and cherry-pick a couple of the American festival’s biggest successes to add to its own competitions. Last year the exceptional Beasts Of The Southern Wild followed that path, and this year, the pleasure goes to Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station, which picked up a lot of heat at Sundance, and which will benefit from the critical reception from this screening in Cannes, if the early responses are anything to go by, when it gets a release.
Projects like this deserve the attention that can come from successful associations with grand old institutes like Cannes, and it’s a distinct pleasure to see this kind of film in competition alongside some major established talents.
That said, there are a number of big names associated with Fruitvale Station – Chad Michael Murray will be familiar for his TV work »

Top 20 Alternative Picks for Cannes 2013: Amat Escalante’s Heli
15 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Section: Main Competition
Buzz: Steadily guided by Cannes’ fest head honcho Thierry Fremieux, Amat Escalante receives a major big stage showing for his long-awaited third film (worth noting it was among the four hand-picked winners for the 2010 Sundance/Nhk International Filmmakers Awards along with Andrey Zvyagintsev’s “Elena” and Zeitlin’s “Beasts of the Southern Wild“). Sangre (Un Certain Regard – 2005), his debut feature announced the helmer as an up-and-comer in Mexican cinema, while his home-invasion follow-up Los Bastardos divided up the critical mass when it showed once again in Cannes in 2008 (Un Certain Regard).
The Gist: In a small Mexican town, where most citizens work for an automobile assembly plant or the local drug cartel, Heli is confronted with police corruption, drug trafficking, sexual exploitation, love, guilt and revenge in the search for his father who has mysteriously disappeared. »

Weinsteins to Mount Awards Preview in Cannes
10 May 2013 1:13 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
The Weinstein Co, is preparing its assault on the coming award season. Step one: like last year, Harvey Weinstein is planning to preview some material from their upcoming award slate at Cannes. (Last year's batch turned out Ok: "Django Unchained," "The Master," and "Silver Linings Playbook"). We don't know exactly what they have in mind to show, but here's their updated schedule thus far. Already viewable in full and booked into Cannes' Un Certain Regard section is writer-director Ryan Coogler's "Fruitvale Station" (July 12), which recreates the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, who at 22 years old was shot and killed by an Oakland police officer at the titular Bart station on New Year's Day, 2009. Michael B. Jordan ("The Wire") and Octavia Spencer ("The Help") are getting rave reviews, and it's a gut-wrenching tearjerker in the "Precious" tradition.

Sundance to Fete Roger Ebert, ‘Fruitvale Station’ Helmer Ryan Coogler
9 May 2013 2:38 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The Sundance Institute will honor the legendary and the up-and-coming June 5 when it pays tribute to late film critic Roger Ebert and director Ryan Coogler at its third-annual Celebrate Sundance Institute benefit at the Lot in West Hollywood.
Sundance president and founder Robert Redford will reciprocate frequent Sundance attendee Ebert’s longtime appreciation of independent films by bestowing his widow, Chaz Ebert, with the Vanguard Leadership Award in memoriam.
During the ceremony, frequent Sundance film actress Kerry Washington will honor writer and director Ryan Coogler with the Vanguard Award, presented by Tiffany & Co. Coogler’s Sundance-lauded film “Fruitvale Station” is based on the story of Oscar Grant, the 22-year-old who was killed by a police office on New Year’s Day 2009.
“Ryan Coogler makes an extraordinary directorial debut with ‘Fruitvale Station,’ in which he tells a heartbreaking story with courage and conviction,” said Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute. »

The Young and the Buzzworthy: Superagents of Tomorrow
8 May 2013 3:02 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Everyone has to start somewhere — even those who one day wind up calling the shots. Variety polled dozens of producers, studio execs, entertainment lawyers, managers and agents to identify those who are on track to become the superagents of tomorrow.
Film Talent
Andrew Dunlap, 34 (Wme): His roster is not only filled with rising stars (Chloe Moretz, Luke Evans and “Downton Abbey’s” Tom Cullen, to name a few), he’s someone execs and producers say they’re excited to work with because he understands both his clients’ needs and those of the studios with which he is negotiating.
Nigel Meiojas, 30 (ICM Partners): Among the fresh faces he reps are actors Genesis Rodriguez (three films in 2012, including “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and “Casa de mi Padre”) and Alexander Ludwig (three projects set up this year after his turn in “The Hunger Games”). He also co-runs the »

Review: 'Dead Man's Burden' Is A Stunningly Shot, Slow Burner Of A Classic, Yet Modern Western
2 May 2013 3:04 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
One of the most cinematically gorgeous independent films in a long time, “Dead Man’s Burden” (along with 2012 indie “Beasts of the Southern Wild," shot on Super 16) truly makes the case for celluloid. While watching this meditative Western, one simply wants to drink in the beauty of the image, and yes, that image is created on 35 mm film. They don’t make Red cameras that can do what film achieves in terms of sheer richness of image. In the age of digital everything, might independent film, at one time the dominion of digital, be the savior of celluloid? “Dead Man’s Burden” (the directorial debut of Jared Moshé) demonstrates just why film is important, simply by being beautiful. But beyond that, it’s also a moody, violent, classic, yet modern Western. “Dead Man’s Burden” starts and ends with a bang, a sun-dappled young woman looking down the barrel of a long rifle. »

Forget Beau Brummell, Let’s Cast the Rest of the Annie Remake
30 April 2013 2:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
With Beasts of the Southern Wild's cutie Quvenzhané Wallis cast and (as of yesterday) Jamie Foxx in talks to co-star in the upcoming Will Smith and Jay Z-produced Annie remake, it seems like us hard-knock lifers will finally get the modern-day remake we've been waiting for. But who will/should play the rest of the musical misfits? Let's take a few (educated?) guesses. Miss Agatha Hannigan: Monique Aside from Jane Lynch, who just took a spot in the Broadway revival of Annie, the only woman brave enough to fill the iconic shoes of Carol Burnett's Miss Hannigan is Monique. The brassy, boozy life of a philandering orphanage proprietress is perfect for the comedian who created (and starred in) Phat Girlz. Daniel "Rooster" Hannigan: André 3000 If only for the look, Andre 3000 would have no problem slipping in to the old-timey shoes of Miss Hannigan's equally awful brother, Rooster. »

Cannes Announces Complete Camera d'Or and Un Certain Regard Juries, Agnes Varda and Thomas Vinterberg at the Helm
30 April 2013 9:14 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
In Cannes news, juries have been rounded out for the Un Certain Regard sidebar as well as the Camera d'Or. It was previously announced that Danish director Thomas Vinterberg -- whose drama "The Hunt" was an official selection up for the Palme d'Or last year -- will lead the tribunal as president for Un Certain Regard. The other members are Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, French actress Ludivine Sagnier, Festival de Rio director Ilda Santiago and Enrique Gonzalez Macho, president of Spain's equivalent of AMPAS. The jury will award one of the eighteen films in the selection the Prix Un Certain Regard, which last year went to Michel Franco's "After Lucia." The Camera d'Or is an award given to the best film out of either the main competition, Critics' Week or Directors' Fortnight (last year's winner was Oscar Best Picture nominee "Beasts of the Southern Wild").
