What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #17
54 minutes ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
This week I'm on time and have more than just one movie to discuss as I finally finished watching both Terrence Malick and Paul Weitz's filmography, caught another Christmas film I had not seen and refreshed my memory on a Spielberg sci-fi.
As always, remember you can keep tabs on my personal Netflix queue right here. I now have 51 friends on the movie rental site and would love to have a few more if those of you out there with accounts are interested. Now, here's the recap of my week in movies...
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) Quick Thoughts: For no real reason whatsoever other than the fact this film had landed on my radar over the past few months, I finally decided to watch A.I. since first watching it back in 2001. I remember not being blown away after seeing it the first time and again I wasn't bowled over, but »

1 November 2009 2:16 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
On top of the titles listed below I also watch the Criterion Blu-ray for Howards End and the Blu-ray for Warner Home Video's North By Northwest, both of which will be reviewed on Tuesday along with the Criterion Blu-ray for Wings of Desire. On top of that I watched the Blu-ray for Disney/Pixar's Up, which will be reviewed in a couple of weeks along with the Blu-ray versions of Monsters, Inc. and Cars.
As for the titles listed below, the first three are the final three of Sony's November 3 release of Film Noir Collection Volume One after I discussed my thoughts on The Sniper and 5 Against the House last week. You can get more details on the complete set right here and a link to buy the set is included with all three films below. As a quick note, the only one of the five I didn't particularly »

26 October 2009 3:44 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Not only is it Halloween Week here on Splash Page, this year also marks the 15th anniversary of Brandon Lee's debut in the live-action adaptation of James O'Barr's dark comic book series "The Crow." With that in mind, we're celebrating with a five-part retrospective on the 1994 film, its origins and its legacy, culled from interviews with the cast and filmmakers behind director Alex Proyas' celebrated film. Check back each day this week for another installment of our "15 Years Of Devil's Night" series.
Part One: 52 Meetings From The Comic To The Screen
Sure, there's Richard Donner's Superman, the Christopher Nolan Batman films, but to many, "The Crow" remains the greatest comic book flick ever made.
The late, great Brandon Lee, who was killed in a tragic onset accident just days away from completing the film, completely embodied the pathos, grace, otherworldly invincibility and »

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: October 18, 2009
18 October 2009 2:08 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
The box office gets Wild; a Vampire Chronicles star moves to Cradlewood; Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell; Owen, Keener and Schwimmer Trust each other and Terrance Mallick’s Tree of Life withers in 2009.
Box Office
After a few years in post-production, Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are took the top spot with a mighty $32.4 million over the weekend. Catering to children and adults alike, it looks like this adaptation of the children’s book might make it to the century barrier.
Law Abiding Citizen came an impressive second with $21 million. The thriller has given a boost to the careers of Jamie Fox and Gerard Butler whose last movies underperformed.
Paranormal Activity scared up $20 million from only 760 screens for a $33 million total. It looks like the sky is the limit as Halloween approaches.
Couples Retreat plunged 47% giving the comedy a weekend take of just under $18 million. »

Tree of Life Not to Grow Until 2010
16 October 2009 11:27 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
New distributor Apparition has managed to maintain incredibly tight-lipped about Terrence Malick’s upcoming film Tree of Life. Very little is known even in regards to the plot of the film, which would seem unusual with just over two months remaining until the film’s original release date of December 25th.
However, Bob Berney, head of Apparition, has announced that the film remains unfinished and won’t be released until an unknown date in 2010. Berney also admitted he has not yet seen what has already been done on Tree of Life, which shows a certain faith in Malick’s abilities.
Malick earned such acclaim as a director with Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, that actors are always eager for the opportunity to work with him. Although not much is known about Tree of Life, it is known that Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain are »

Tree Of Life Held Back Until 2010
16 October 2009 4:28 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
The upcoming fifth film from perfectionist director Terrence Malick has been pushed back to an undertermined release date in 2010. Tree Of Life stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn in a heartfelt story about the loss of a son's innocence and the struggle to come to grips with it into adulthood. Other than that, details on the film have remained a mystery, as the director has managed to keep a tight lid on the whole thing. Already, Malick has been in the editing room for nearly a year.
The information was released by new distributor Apparition, whose new head Bob Berny said, "It's definitely not going to come out this year... I can't tell you when it will come out."
The acclaimed director of Badlands and Days Of Heaven conceived of the story for Tree Of Life nearly thirty years ago. He has decided to accompany the film in some way »
Son Of The Sunshine: Ryan Ward's Directorial Debut rocks!
12 October 2009 7:37 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
I have not heard of Ryan Ward before, and I felt sorry for myself. I guess, understanding what this movie - Son of the Sunshine - is all about, which is directed by Ryan himself, will help me understand him as an actor and as a filmmaker.

- - - About the Movie: Life is hard for Sonny (director and co-writer Ryan Ward). He's 24 and still living with his poor, negligent, heroin-shooting mom. He's unemployed. He's alienated and lonely. And he's got a wicked case of Tourette syndrome. Twitching, scowling and spewing random curses, he's a social outcast and victim of a vicious personal cycle: his illness isolates him, his isolation makes him angrier, his anger mixes with his condition and isolates him even further...Faint hopes for a livable future include a risky operation, a prospective lover, and a distant chance of getting to the bottom »

Malick Working on Two Films
23 March 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Terrence Malick, the reclusive and less-than-prolific director, is reportedly currently at work on two IMAX pictures; one his meditative Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, the other an "ambitious documentary" which, according to The Playlist, is a natural history IMAX piece depicting "the birth and death of the universe".
Much more is known about Tree of Life, his wildly ambitious project which has drawn comparisons in scope and greater sense of madness to Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. SlashFilm gleaned some factual information on the projects from Wikipedia, stating:
We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the worldís way, of putting oneself first. »
Terrence Malick's Next Project Will Include Dinosaurs?
2 March 2009 8:46 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Terrence Malick, the steadfast auteur behind films like The New World and Badlands, isn't usually the type to secure a fanboy audience. But he's got one thing going for him with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn in the cast of his next project, The Tree of Life. Add dinosaurs to that mix-- yes, dinosaurs-- and IMAX film, and Malick may soon find himself an unexpected box-office draw. All this speculation is coming from an article in Empire, the British film magazine with a robust website that isn't featuring the info this time around. Hollywood Elsewhere got its hands on a key paragraph from the print edition, in which visual effects artist Mike Fink talks about his next project. "We're just starting work on a project for Terrence Malick, animating dinosaurs, the film is The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. It'll be showing in IMAX -- so »
We Can't Wait #14 The Tree of Life
10 February 2009 1:04 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Directed by the no longer totally unprolific Terrence Malick
Starring Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and three child actors (Sean Penn and Fiona Shaw also appear)
Synopsis is vague --something about a young family in the 1950s and the loss of innocence. But do Malick's plots ever inspire "ooh!"s. No, it's the filmmaking. Bring on the shots of grass, trees and skies!
Brought to you by Plan B Entertainment (originally founded by Brad Grey, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
Expected Release Date It's Malick. I won't even try to guess
Nathaniel: Malick has directed only four features in his lifetime (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and The New World) and each time we lose several critics to The Rapture when they surface. Since it made other lists besides mine, I assume you're disciples?
Ja: I got to see Badlands on a big screen last year, and that »
