Decade in Review: 2000 Top Ten
5 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
What follows is my original top ten list of 2000... or rather the revised version I published in 2002. Let's discuss each year of this decade as it winds down! Who's with me?!? It's always interesting to see which films remained at the forefront of our memory and which fade... both for a variety of reasons, quality being only one factor. New comments are in red.
Please note: This list was based on NYC release dates in the year 2000. Some movies are listed as different years at the IMDb based on when they were released in their home country or in La or whatnot.
Runners Up (in descending order): Une Liaisons Pornographique, Nurse Betty, You Can Count On Me, Before Night Falls, Pola X, Chicken Run, American Psycho, Wonder Boys and Billy Elliott Um... What The Hell are some of these movies doing outside the top ten list? You Can Count on Me »

Top French Thesps 'Figure' in Ozon's Potiche
30 October 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- Coming off the recent, critically well-received, smaller in scale Le Refuge (a drama that initially is conceived as an addiction drama but is better labeled as a film about yearning and loneliness, François Ozon has commenced shooting his 12th feature titled Potiche. He'll be A couple of last minute adjustments, headliners Ludivine Sagnier and Cécile De France appear to have been replaced by Karin Viard and Judith Godrèche, and Ozon will be reuniting with Catherine Deneuve (8 Women) and Jérémie Renier. Filling out the cast we find Gérard Depardieu take the supporting role and Fabrice Luchini playing the antagonist. Adapted by the director from Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Grédy’s eponymous play, Potiche is set in a French bourgeois province in 1977. Suzanne (Deneuve) is the submissive wife of rich industrialist Robert Pujol (Luchini), who runs his umbrella factory with an iron hand and turns out to be just as nasty »
Tuesday Top Ten: Bite Me!

It's Halloween Week! Though a horror movie wuss I be there's one movie monster who I'll always give it up for, the vampire. Herewith: the film & television vampires who I would find most difficult to resist. (I've restricted myself to the past 30 years because there are too many I haven't seen from earlier... like those Hammer Horror films Matt was just talking 'bout). Should these 10 suckers ever come knocking, I shan't be wearing a cross, turtleneck or smelling of garlic.
I've already discussed Seline in Underworld and that hot Mexican in From Dusk til Dawn so I'm skipping them here.
10 Dracula (Gerard Butler) in Dracula 2000 (2000)
There are abundant lists of "best/sexiest vamps" on the net, but most of them go off in directions I can't support [cough Twilight... must everything be about page views? They twinkle. In the sun. Ugh]. But The Daily Beast makes a good point in favor of Gerard Butler: Ceiling Sex.

Oscar... Now With More Spirit Fingers
23 October 2009 8:36 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Shankman's got spirit!
Do you follow the Oscar show news in the way you follow the Oscars? I don't so much, despite this life I lead constantly writin' about the awards themselves. I care who hosts to some degree but I tend to ignore the rest. But I found it interesting this week when director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) was named as one of the producers and his choreography skills were noted as a reason to be enthused about this assignment. At least he has a sense of humor about his, um, limited history with the big event I was one of Paula Abdul's 'Under the Sea' pirates," Shankman said. "The last time I was at the Oscars, I was in Lycra, with a pirate hat on. Shankman's presence must mean more musical numbers. I'm all for musical numbers provided they rehire Hugh Jackman as host. He was so fine last year. »

Ciff 2009: The winners! And our reviews
22 October 2009 6:39 PM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
Tina Mabry's "Mississippi Damned," an independent American production, won the Gold Hugo as the best film in the 2009 Chicago International Film Festival, and added Gold Plaques for best supporting actress (Jossie Thacker) and best screenplay (Mabry). It tells the harrowing story of three black children growing up in rural Mississippi in circumstances of violence and addiction. The film's trailer and an interview with Mabry are linked at the bottom.

The win came over a crowed field of competitors from all over the world, many of them with much larger budgets. The other big winner at the Pump Room of the Ambassador East awards ceremony Saturday evening was by veteran master Marco Bellocchio of Italy, who won the Silver Hugo as best director for "Vincere," the story of Mussolini's younger brother. Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Filippo Timi won Silver Hugos as best actress and actor, »

They're young, beautiful and talented, but some of them maybe quite unfamiliar to some of you. In our latest List of 10, tMF compilled 10 Foreign (if you like, Non-American) actresses and the must-see movies that made them 'hot properties' locally. Some of them joined Hollywood already - but have you seen them at their Best?
- - -
- - - It's a pity many of the roles given to them in Hollywood are not what you can call 'prestige' roles. Most of them are given the usual run-of-the-mill characters. Why not take a good look at their previous works and find out why we think they're awesome!

# 10 - Maria Valverde (Spain) - Maria Valverde was born in Madrid and says she always wanted to become an actress. She finally fulfilled her dream at the age of 16 with a leading role in Manuel Martín Cuenca movie, La flaqueza del bolchevique. »

Repulsion Criterion Blu-ray Review
24 September 2009 8:01 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The history of Roman Polanski is almost as fascinating as his best films. Born in Poland, he survived the holocaust, and married Sharon Tate, who was murdered by the Manson family.
In the late 70’s he fled America because he was charged with rape in a nasty public case that has led many to decry the artist as a terrible human being. Polanski may be a miserable little shit of a human being, but he also directed Knife in the Water, Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Pianist. He also directed one of the greatest feminist horror movies with Repulsion. If absolutely nothing else, the man is filled with interesting contradictions. My review is after the jump.
Catherine Deneuve stars Carole Ledoux, a young French manicurist living in London. She lives with her sister Helene (Yvonne Furneaux) and has something of a boyfriend in Colin (John Fraser). Helene has a »

Warner Bros. Feels 'The Hunger' Again
22 September 2009 7:21 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
It was a tiny ripple in a story about writer Whitley Streiber changing representation and signing with the Gersh Agency, but it's probably the most interesting part of the entire Hollywood Reporter article. It appears that Warner Bros. is remaking Streiber's novel, The Hunger.
The original film was directed by Tony Scott back in 1983 and starred David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, and Susan Sarandon. It's more well-known than it is good, although as a first film, it allowed Scott to move on to flicks like Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop 2, and Days of Thunder, before really hitting his stride in the mid-90s. »

Tony Scott Remaking The Hunger Vampire Film
22 September 2009 5:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
In a THR article about how author Whitley Strieber has signed with the Gersh Agency, is news that Warner Bros is currently developing a remake of "The Hunger." Striber wrote "The Hunger" early in her career and back in 1983, director Tony Scott (Man on Fire, Deja Vu) turned the novel into a vampire horror film, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. Plot: An Egyptian vampire lady Miriam subsists upon the blood of her lovers. In return, the men and women don't age, until Miriam had enough of them. That becomes the case with John and his life expectancy has been reduced to 24 hours. Desperately he seeks help from Dr. Sarah Roberts, who decides to get in contact with Miriam herself only to get caught up as well. Last we heard, Scott was considering doing a sequel rather than a remake. And back in July, it was reported that Fredrik Bond (Hack/Slash, »

Foreign Film Oscar Submissions. The Story So Far
17 September 2009 5:34 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
In roughly one month's time Oscar's sharpest double edged sword falls. That would be the announcement of the official submission list for the Best Foreign Language Film competition. Why the double edge? On the one hand it's always a mouthwatering list of sixty-plus film titles from newbie directors and masters alike, starring actors from all over the globe and covering virtually every film genre. They're not all masterpieces but there's true gold in there. On the other hand, the majority of these possibly awesome titles will remain unavailable to all but the most dedicated and wealthy of cinephiles who can travel 'round the world chasing film festivals.
It's time for The Film Experience to dive in to the possibilities ahead. We've been bringing you the web's most comprehensive foreign chart for 9 years now.

MTV's Gore Girls Feel Roman Polanski's 'Repulsion'
17 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Welcome to Gore Girls! MTV contributor Terri Schwartz doesn't know crap about the horror genre, and she's volunteered to be our Movies Blog guinea pig. She has a good guide too. Fellow contributor Jenni Miller is a bonafide horror enthusiast, and she's willing to walk Terri through her formative experiences with blood, guts, monsters and maniacs. Together, this dynamic duo are horror's own odd couple, The Gore Girls!!! Good luck Terri... you're definitely going to need it.
Today's Gore Girls pick is the Catherine Deneuve-starring Roman Polanski classic, "Repulsion," the director's first English-language film. The story follows Carol (Deneuve), a sexually repressed young woman who suffers a psychotic break after her sister/roommate leaves her all alone in her apartment for a weekend. This isn't traditional horror, certainly not by today's standards, but I'll let Jenni & Terri give you the scoop.

Tiff #3: Some of the films I've seen
11 September 2009 7:28 PM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
I have a quirky policy about writing of films from a film festival. In the early years, I tried to avoid an actual "review," especially negative, because I believed a film deserved a chance to open before I laid into it. This was grandiose--as if the world was awaiting my opinion. Then I began suggesting my thinking, without going into detail. Then, being human, I allowed that approach to enlarge into specific descriptions of films I really loved, or hated.
Alex Vo, editor of Rotten Tomatoes: No Meter when he needs it most.
That's now the strategy I use, with amendments. I can only review a film for the first time once, and if I've used all my energy in rehearsal, what have I saved for opening night? I'll reflect the general reception of certain films, however, if only in the spirit of providing news coverage. The first year I was here, »

50 Essential Foreign Films 2000-2008 (Part 1) - Spotlight on French Cinema
2 September 2009 4:17 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Films on the cutting edge. That's how I would describe the 50 movies on this list. While some moviegoers may find it an 'alien' experience to refer to sub-titles in understanding what's happening on the big screen, a good number of audiences are totally enjoying the different and often surprising take by many foreign filmmakers, nothwithstanding the language barrier.
Content-wise, the 50 movies feature stories about war and peace, love and romance, family affairs, coming-of-age tales, cultural and religious diversity, social issues (including prostitution and abortion) and personal - celebrating life or facing death with dignity. Coverage-wise, tMF list down many of the best foreign films from 2000 until last year from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and about 15 other countries in Europe, North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
