Entertainment Weekly Lists the 25 Best Soundtracks from the Past 25 Years
3 November 2009 2:34 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I’m no music expert what with their fancy degrees and ability to appreciate music beyond “This sounds good.” But I do know lists and lists generate controversy and controversy equals traffic! And with their patented “slideshow” format which creates more hits based on an itemized story, EW.com has a real racket going!
Well, we just listed it like normal people after the jump. Take a look, see if you agree, and scream your disbelief at how a certain album you love wasn’t included. Also, remember that this is a list of soundtracks which are usually a collection of songs used in a movie as opposed to a score which is usually the instrumental accompaniment to the film created by a single composer (although there are obviously scores created by more than one composer).
If you want to click through the list like a chump, click here. It »

Film School 101: Protagonists
1 November 2009 4:57 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
First off I need to apologize for the tardiness of this entry. I was infected with the swine pandemic and was unable to do anything but utter “Bbbbraaaiiinsssss…” feebly from my bed. Now I’m up and about again, so here we go.
One of the first things to do when making your movie is figure out who your main character is going to be. Now, you may pick your plot first and then figure what kind of protagonist you want or you may pick your characters and write about what they do – it all depends on your style of writing. In either case, understanding your protagonist(s) is very important since these are the people whom the plot revolves around, who we will come to know and love and who we will follow for the next 120 minutes. They will be our tour guides through your movie so you have »

Driver Likens Motherhood To 'Insane Earthquake'
27 October 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Minnie Driver no longer has time to enjoy the simple things in life - because her one-year-old son has rocked her world like an "insane earthquake".
The Good Will Hunting star welcomed her firstborn Henry last year, and admits her life has completely changed since the tot arrived.
And the Brit even feels guilty while reading parenting tips online - because she feels she ought to use that time to look after her child.
She tells Britain's Daily Express newspaper, "Reading about somebody else's tough experiences of being a mother, you're suddenly like, 'My God, I've got a kid and I don't have time to read this. I've got to go do it.'
"There's no time. If he's sleeping, I'm trying to sleep and when you're breast feeding you're the milk machine.
"There's no time to pick up the guitar, much less go out for a walk or have a beer. The first year of Henry's life has been just an insane earthquake for me." »
'Twilight' Star Justin Chon To Write, Surf For His Next Movie
26 October 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From Hollywood Crush: It worked out pretty well for those Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thornton guys. Now, could “Twilight” series star Justin Chon follow in their star-making footsteps and write himself a classic movie role?
Back in the mid-90s, the three stars were struggling actors who’d appeared in a decent number of feature films, but felt like they weren’t being offered the right kinds of roles by Hollywood. Mix in Matt and Ben’s screenplay for “Good Will Hunting,” an Oscar for Best Screenwriting, and the rest is history. Billy Bob Thornton followed a similar path with “Sling Blade.”

New Old Dogs Movie Trailer
20 October 2009 1:22 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Disney has released a new trailer for the new Walt Becker-directed comedy Old Dogs on MSN. Watching this trailer makes you wonder why Robin Williams can't just make more movies like World's Greatest Dad or Good Will Hunting. Oh, a paycheck you say? Yeah... that's what we thought. And yes, Becker and John Travolta worked together in the 2007 film Wild Hogs. It's also notable that Travolta’s daughter Ella Bleu makes her feature-film debut as one of the twins. Travolta’s wife Kelly Preston also stars in the film—marking the first time the couple has appeared in the same film in more than 20 years. This new movie tells the story of two best friends -- one unlucky-in-love divorcee (Williams) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (Travolta), who have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old ... »

Chris Pine Enlists as Next Jack Ryan
14 October 2009 9:14 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Remember when Ben Affleck was Hollywood's new dramatic 'it' kid? Just after Armageddon and Good Will Hunting, when he was said to be the next big action star on the block. He did that movie with Sam Jackson, Changing Lanes, and he scored a huge role as the next Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears. He was supposed to take over the franchise, reboot this iconic character made famous by the great Harrison Ford. It was going to be glorious... What happened to that? To quote a sci-fi show that none of you have probably ever heard of, all of this has happened before, all of this will happen again. Variety's Mike Fleming is reporting today that Star Trek star and new Hollywood 'it' guy Chris Pine is in negotiations to play CIA Analyst Jack Ryan in the reboot of the franchise based on Tom Clancy's novels.

1999: A Year In Review (Part One)
7 October 2009 9:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Many films come out every year with critics and fans alike, compiling lists of their bests and worsts. There are also many films that fall between the cracks, only to be discovered years later. Many critics believe that one of the best years in cinema was 1939, when Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were released alongside many other classic gems.
Personally, I’ve always felt that 1999 was an epic year for movies, providing us with so many interesting films. In fact, 1999 was such a good year for movies that even some of the bad ones are still worth watching!
So, please sit back and put your memory caps on as Screen Rant takes on a retrospective of 1999 in the world of film.
In 1999, the world was a very different place. We were on the cusp of a new millennium and 9/11 was something that nobody - not even »

Stellan Skarsgård Joins “Thor”
5 October 2009 5:31 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Stellan Skarsgård will star in Marvel Studios’ “Thor” according to the man himself through Swedish news site Ystads Allehanda.
Stellan is not the only Skarsgård linked to this Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the Marvel comic adaptation. In early 2009, his son Alexander Skarsgard was listed among the potential candidates to portray the titular character, Thor. However, the younger Skarsgard lost the role to Chris Hemsworth, the actor who portrays Captain Kirk’s father in 2009’s “Star Trek”.
Everything is still secret about the project and Skarsgård can not reveal what role he will play.
“They wanted me to sign without reading the script. That I refused to do. Then they sent one to me that was so coded that I could only print one copy,”
said Stellan Skarsgård to Tt spectra.
At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. »
