Diablo, Zombieland at Italy's Noir in Festival (and I Can't Figure out Why)
25 November 2009 9:57 AM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Here's a head scratcher. According to Variety, Diablo Cody's Jennifer's Body is set to make its Italian debut at the Noir in Festival, where the Woody Harrelson horror film Zombieland will join it. I haven't seen Cody's film, but from all the trailers I did see, I can pretty much assess that it's not a noir film. Having seen Zombieland, I can testify that it's not noir.
Noir means "black" in French, and filmmakers have used it to describe a particular type of movie, particularly those old style Humphrey Bogart detective and crime stories. The only time I can remember having heard the fterm used in modern application was when reviewers discussed the Tim Burton Batman movies back in the late 1980s, and perhaps with the Coen Brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There.
I certainly would not apply it to Jennifer's Body or Zombieland. Or Avatar, which the festival is hyping with behind-the-scenes footage. »
Will Any 2009 Film Couple Last a Lifetime?

1. Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. 2. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. 3. Peter Sarsgaard and Carey Mulligan. 4. Claire Danes and Zac Efron. 5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Every generation has great on-screen duos, from the classic chemistry between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy to the modern-day pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. But over the past week, at Cinema Society screenings of Twilight, Brothers, and Me and Orson Welles, we started to wonder whether any recent big-screen twosome has enough staying power to last through the decades. There's been a spate of fresh film couplings this year, including Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire in Brothers; Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Twilight; Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard in An Education; Claire Danes and Zac Efron in Me and Orson Welles; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer. Do any of these duos have what it »

After the silly but fun Independence Day and bloated climate warning epic wannabe The Day After Tomorrow, Robert Emerich is back trying to destroy the planet again. In 2012, he chooses, rather than spaced out aliens or freaky weather conditions, the effect of a gigantic solar flare on the earth's core.

The legendary actress accepted the honour this weekend, four months before the full ceremony takes place. Upon receiving the award, she quipped: “I can't believe it - a man at last.

Lauren Bacall, Roger Corman, Gordon Willis: Governors Awards 2009
15 November 2009 6:15 PM, PST | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »
Honorary Award recipients Roger Corman, Lauren Bacall, and Gordon Willis at the 2009 Governors Awards ceremony held at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland on Saturday, November 14. “It’s so much better … that nobody’s worrying whether 36.5 million people are watching us or 29.2,” remarked Warren Beatty, a former Irving G. Thalberg Award recipient who paid homage to this year’s Thalberg Award honoree John Calley, who, reportedly suffering from serious health issues, was unable to attend the ceremony. After Kirk Douglas declared he once unsuccessfully tried to seduce her, and Anjelica Huston praised her “steadfastness,” 85-year-old Lauren Bacall waved away an escort trying to help her get to the podium, remembered her “great love” Humphrey Bogart, her myriad leading [...] »

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Matt Damon, from private campaigner to Hollywood's biggest star
9 November 2009 1:59 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A clutch of new films will cement Matt Damon's reputation as the hit of his generation. But that won't change this most reserved and politically committed of actors. Vanessa Thorpe reports
Runners taking part in the annual Miami Triathlon this time last year were surprised to spot a familiar face crossing the finishing line. It looked very like Jason Bourne, the implacable, brain-washed hitman, who was coming in with a time of just under an hour for the 6.2 mile leg. In fact Matt Damon, who plays Bourne in the trio of hit films based on Robert Ludlum's character, was competing in an effort to lose some weight. He had gained 30lbs that summer to play the part of the chubby, delusional executive at the centre of The Informant!, Steven Soderbergh's new film.
Its recent premiere in America may well prove the high-water mark of an already illustrious career. »

Susannah negotiated those difficult teenage years in front of a black and white TV, in the company of the inimitable Humphrey Bogart. There were many long, smoke-filled nights, punctuated by sardonic dialogue and the sound of some B-grade villain expiring in a hail of bullets. After studying law, Susannah embarked on a career in book and magazine publishing that has so far failed to make her rich or famous. But thanks to a nine-year stint at Radio Times magazine she feels certain that she has already met more than her fair share of film geeks and fan-boys. A team lunch last Christmas with film critic and football fan Barry Norman was a highlight.

This Is It Movie Review
30 October 2009 6:39 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Here now, a brief four months after his untimely death, is the vindication that Michael Jackson’s fans have been waiting for. This Is It, for better or worse, is the last word on Jackson as a performer and it’s presented here as the ‘dream’ of a concert that no one will ever get to see. It has been assembled from more than 100 hours of footage and pieced together with the oversight of the Jackson estate and the concert’s director, Kenny Ortega.
As someone who was never truly drawn in by Jackson’s celebrity, or the unsavory fashion in which the media dealt with him, I walked away from This Is It surprised and pleased. Whatever else he had been or done in the last 15 years or so, Ortega’s chronicle of Michael’s final endeavor places him back in the role he was always most suited to: entertainer. »

The stars are not too visible in the skyscraper lit skies of Chicago – instead, they are glowing at the 45th annual Chicago International Film Festival.

On Thursday, Uma Thurman was in town to promote her film Motherhood, which opened the festival. On Friday night, super-action director John Woo walked the red carpet at the festival for the United States premiere of his Chinese epic, Red Cliff. The film was met with resounding applause, followed by an excited Q&A from the audience afterward (I will have a review of Red Cliff available in the near future).
Released in China as two movies and condensed to one for American audiences, Red Cliff is an epic war film about the end of the Han Dynasty, and the fight by Liu Bei and Sun Quan to remain free from the order »

Viff 2009: 'Empire State Building Murders'
3 October 2009 11:39 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Based almost entirely on found footage — and a clever script to thread that footage together — Empire State Building Murders is a loving tribute to classic Hollywood films.
French director William Karel, who co-wrote the script with Jerome Charyn, has crafted a film in which they've pulled footage from classic films and edited them together to tell a completely original story.
It's a mashup, a remix of some of the best gangster and noir films from the '30s, '40s and '50s. "Starring" Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall and James Cagney as the main players in a love triangle set in post-Second World War New York, when the movies of the time would have us believe the Mob was in complete control.
Douglas is the face of Jim Kowalski, a former New York cop who receives a letter addressed to him but postmarked Aug. 17, 1949, some 60 years earlier, that has been »
