Unfulfilled promise
23 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He had Hollywood at his feet at the age of 25. So why has Rupert Everett never lived up to that early promise? Here, the outspoken actor talks about homophobia, deranged A-listers and why Madonna isn't speaking to him
Can anyone look more world weary than Rupert Everett? At certain points in the interview, he gives the impression of having been in the acting game since at least the dawn of time, if not before. These are eyes that have seen it all – glittering success, abject failure, critical acclaim, the best reviews on earth, the worst. But then, at times, his career trajectory has resembled the cardiogram of a 60-a-day, overweight smoker: up, down, up, critical, dead, alive again! He was a star at 22, a has-been at 30, a Hollywood ingenue at 40, and here he is again, aged 50, still handsome, still game, gadding around in the new St Trinian's film in a »

Robin Wright Took Only One Take To Film Her Sex Scenes With Keanu Reeves
27 November 2009 8:56 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘Forrest Gump’ actress – who recently ended her marriage to Sean Penn – found it hard to shoot parts of her new movie, ‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’, especially when her character had to make love to Keanu’s in the back of a truck. She said: "Any kind of vulnerability is always hard to do. Just being exposed in that way is difficult. People say it's hard to do those scenes revealing the blood and soul of your heart, crying. That's easy-peasy for me. Intimacy is far more challenging. Thank God we did it in one take." Robin also revealed she wants fans to start remembering her for her new movies rather than 1994's ‘Forrest Gump’ and 1987's ‘The Princess Bride’. She told USA Today newspaper: "I love those movies, and they're going to go down in history. They're iconic. And I love that I'm a part of film history. »

Actress Robin Wright has discovered a new way of boosting her breasts without going under the knife - get animated.
The Forrest Gump star was amazed with what the experts could do with motion capture for her part in Jim Carrey's new adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
She says, "It's actually your movement - all of your acting is seen and they paint over you.
"I said, 'Can you give me really large breasts please?' and they said, 'Yeah, we'll just paint those in post-production.'" »

'The Princess And The Frog,' 'Me And Orson Welles' And 'The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee' In This Week's unLimited
24 November 2009 11:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It's another big holiday weekend with plenty of new releases to consider following your Thanksgiving feast this Thursday (and following your subsequent leftovers feasts through Sunday). In the same way that many Americans prefer alternatives to the traditional turkey and stuffing dinner on the day of gratitude, many moviegoers want something other than a studio tentpole release the day after Thanksgiving. Really, why would you want a popcorn movie when you're still full from the night before?
There are a couple of limited release options this week, including an important studio film getting a surprisingly soft opening, to appease such a film diet. Check these films out if you want something different as or additional to your main course this weekend:
What is is: Richard Linklater, director of "Dazed and Confused" and "School of Rock," returns with a fictionalized coming-of-age drama set during production of Orson Welles »

Black Friday is approaching, fellow readers. No, I'm not talking about some sort of economic free-fall or any apocalyptic event that we might see in 2012. I'm talking about the shopper's paradise/nightmare that is the day after Thanksgiving, where all the hot holiday items are paraded about with slashed prices galore.

We all know how trying these times are, so we here at MovieWeb are trying to make it a little easier on our readers. No, we won't be selling Blu-ray players for under $100, but we are compiling a tidy little list of our own complete with our top DVD buys of the season.

Exclusive Video: Robin Wright Penn and Blake Lively Discuss The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
23 November 2009 12:47 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Robin Wright is best known for playing two highly iconic roles on the big screen. The first, was where she gained her fame as the title role in Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride, the second is where she earned her Oscar nomination as Jenny in Forrest Gump. Blake Lively is best known for her break-through roles on both the hit series Gossip Girl and in the movies The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and it's sequel. So it only makes sense that the two actresses would share the title role, playing the same character at different points of her life in the new film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, opening in theaters on November 27th. We recently had a chance to sit down with both Robin Wright and Blake Lively to discuss their new film, how they went about playing the same character, working with director Rebecca Miller »
DVD: Review:Forrest Gump
17 November 2009 10:01 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
How does a movie go from being a triumph to a punchline? The multi-Oscar-winning hit Forrest Gump experienced what later movies like Crash, Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, and Slumdog Millionaire would go through, suffering such a strong backlash that in some circles, it’s all but impossible to find anyone who even likes the movie, let alone thinks it deserved to be named Best Picture of 1994. And yet in other circles, Forrest Gump remains beloved, and on its original release, it was widely considered a breath of fresh air: a summer blockbuster with wit, heart, and style, sweeping through ... »
Forrest Gump: Sapphire Series Blu-ray Review
12 November 2009 1:35 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
"You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded." . Kurt Lazarus
Forrest Gump (1994) has transcended the realm of mere cinema to become such a piece of Americana that turning a critical eye its way is almost blasphemy. I remember seeing director Robert Zemeckis' (Back to the Future, Polar Express) Academy Award winning effort during its theatrical run and, while it was cute, wondering what all the fuss was about (and being even more miffed at stealing the Best Picture Oscar from Pulp Fiction). Revisiting Gump over the years on home video, the main character's absurd adventures have slowly grown on me. Now I can happily state that though I still have minor reservations, watching Paramount's stellar Blu-ray release was thoroughly enjoyable.
Admittedly the movie, even as beloved as it is, »
Robert Zemeckis Eyeing The Nutcracker 3-D?
12 November 2009 6:30 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Robert Zemeckis is a director who was once mentioned alongside visionaries like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, having directed such blockbusters as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump and the Back To The Future trilogy. He certainly earned that reputation, but lately his career has taken a strange detour into the realm of motion capture technology, where his focus seems to be exclusively on taking existing stories and putting them on the big screen in a new way. Certainly Spielberg and Lucas have been big on pushing technology forward as well, but is Zemeckis letting his desire to pioneer get in the way of making good movies? His latest film A Christmas Carol hit theatres just last weekend and the reviews haven't been so hot, but that hasn't stopped him from lining up another Christmas movie to immediately follow it. According to Pajiba [1], Zemeckis wants to use motion capture to »

Celebrate Veteran’s Day with a War Movie Overload
11 November 2009 2:33 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Instead of doing a cheesy list for Veteran's Day, we here at Fsr decided just to give a run down of all the war-type movies that we've covered over the years (the good, the bad, and the boots on the ground). Some of these you'll be able to pick up at the rental store on your way back home from work, but hopefully your employer was nice enough to give you the day off so you could sit back with a beer, some BBQ and a swelling fervor in remembrance of the monumental jobs done by the bravest members of our society. And since we're overloading here, we went ahead and included just about any flicks that involve soldiers and wartime. We even included some featuring those limey Brits! Look how far we've come since 1776. As an added challenge, why not watch all of them? The General (1927) Battleship Potemkin (1925) The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944) To Hell and Back (1955) Operation Petticoat »

Zemeckis To Take On The Nutcracker
11 November 2009 1:21 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I miss the old Robert Zemeckis. You know, the one that directed Back to the Future, Forrest Gump and Castaway; those broad, fantastic stories with actual people. That is not to say that Beowulf and A Christmas Carol don't have their merits and place, but the whole "dead behind the eyes" thing is still rather unnerving. The director recently said that he will use motion capture for for the Roger Rabbit sequel, which, in a way, makes it seem that he is more in love with the technology than the story (unless they somehow work it into the plot.) Despite the uncanny valley factor, though, the computer-generated films have been bringing in the dough, and now Zemeckis has said that he will be tackling his third Christmas-themed film with The Nutcracker. Reported first by Pajiba, the film will not be an adaptation of the Tchaikovsky ballet, but rather the original »
'Mad Men': What's Matthew Weiner cooking up for us next?

I'm still reeling from the season finale of Mad Men. I want to keep thinking about it and talking about it, whether by getting a Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce t-shirt, or going nuts over these Joan paper dolls, or chuckling at this Mean Girls spin on it. Oh, and I love this supercut of Roger Sterling zingers from the season. More, more, more, please! Much to my delight, Matt Weiner talked to the Daily Beast to answer some lingering questions about the season.

A day that every American should remember arrives today, the 11th day of the 11th month of every year. It echoes in perpetuity, providing all of us in the Us with a continued wall of integrity, protection and honor via the many calls to duty that have been answered for hundreds of years.

Run, Forrest, run. onto Blu-ray that is. Paramount pulls out all the stops on this fine Blu-ray presentation that.s as tasty as a box of chocolates.

Young Forrest (Michael Conner Humphreys) was born to a single mother (Sally Field) and never knew who his father was. He has below average intelligence, but his ability to run fast and goes to college on a football scholarship. After college he enlists in the army and meets .Bubba.

Moviegoers Stingy with Scrooge
8 November 2009 5:22 PM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
It was a miserly start to the Holiday movie season as the high profile movie positioned to bring the most cheer, A Christmas Carol, stumbled a bit out of the gate. Overall weekend business was off 14 percent from the same timeframe last year, when Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa landed, and was on the low end for early November.
Haunting approximately 6,500 screens at 3,683 sites, A Christmas Carol churned out an estimated $31 million, selling fewer tickets than Elf and The Santa Clause 2 and far fewer than star Jim Carrey's last Christmas movie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. On the other hand, Carol's opening grossed more than The Polar Express, the previous performance-capture animated Christmas movie from director Robert Zemeckis that chugged strongly throughout the 2004 season despite its disappointing $23.3 million start, but that picture was muted by The Incredibles whereas Carol had no such direct competitor. According to distributor Walt Disney Pictures' exit polling, »

Disney’s A Christmas Carol Movie Review
7 November 2009 9:40 AM, PST | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
One of the things you really have to ask yourself at the outset is, "Why do people keep remaking Charles Dickens' story?" The easy answer is that we need a decent helping of holiday fare at the theaters, but there are other things we could do, and even redo. It may still be a ways off, but we're quickly gaining on the 200th Anniversary of this story... surely there are other tales we could explore. While spitting out a movie just to cash in is never a motive that should be overlooked, the people behind the thirty-odd versions of this particular story don't seem as a general rule to be those sorts of people. On the other hand, Robert Zemeckis is one of the first names that might pop into my mind when working out a list of those capable of churning out nonsense based largely on the idea »
