Why Richard Kelly's The Box could be the best film of the year
12 November 2009 10:36 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Year: 2009
Directors: Richard Kelly
Writers: Richard Kelly
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: agentorange
Rating: 9 out of 10
Richard Kelly channels no less than the ghost of Stanley Kubrick to turn Richard Matheson's blip of a Twilight Zone idea into one of the most astounding pieces of cerebral science fiction cinema I have ever seen. Yes, The Box is that good. It dares to scale the same intellectual heights as 2001: A Space Odyssey and it revels in the potent, restrained formalism of The Shining without ever leaving its two main characters or plot too far behind. In fact, Kelly is so self assured in executing this delicious layer-cake of a movie that The Box is now a front runner for my choice of best film of the year (yep, move over Moon) and I absolutely can't wait to see it again so I can dig even deeper into its box of mysteries. »
Nicole Kidman Burned Her Journals When She Married Keith Urban
4 November 2009 8:55 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Unlike many of her Hollywood peers, Nicole Kidman says she prefers to keep an air of mystery about her life. So that means no tell-all memoir, no blogging, and no Tweeting. "If you know what is going on inside somebody's head all the time that's not a good place," the actress, 42, tells the December issue of British GQ. "You can't read somebody's diary. You shouldn't read it. I burnt most of my journals after I remarried ... You're only going to find out bad things." In the interview, however, Kidman gives a hint about the adventurousness that infused her romances over the years. »

Matthew Modine: The Hollywood Interview

Matthew Modine: Better Angels
By
Matthew Modine has been something of an iconoclast most of his working life. After being groomed for ‘80s teen idol status in early films such as Private School and Vision Quest, Modine was also one of the first actors of his generation, along with Sean Penn, to take on riskier projects, such as Robert Altman's Streamers, Alan Parker’s Birdy, Gillian Armstrong’s Mrs. Soffel, and Alan J. Pakula’s Orphans. It was his lead role as the cynical Marine Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam epic Full Metal Jacket that put Modine into the pantheon of young actors who were more than just pretty faces and knowing winks at the camera. This, after all, was the young man who turned down the lead in Top Gun, arguably the prototypical ‘80s blockbuster, due to its cold war politics. From the beginning, »

Katie Holmes to Star in 'Cocktail: The Musical'?
27 October 2009 4:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Are you ready for another hippie, hippie shake? The New York Post reports that Cocktail is getting turned into a Broadway musical by producer Marty Richards, and Heywood Gould, the pen behind the book and film, will write it. But that's not all. Gould told them: "I am writing it as we speak. Marty Richards is on board and he's working on the score. It's far too early to talk about casting. We haven't approached anybody yet. But I do like Katie Holmes." Yes, original star Tom Cruise's wife. Gould might not be the end-all on decisions, but since he's involved with all the story's incarnations, I bet he has some sway.
The 1998 film focuses on a young guy (Cruise) who drops out of school and becomes a famous bartender. Eager to have his own bar, he heads to Jamaica to earn enough money. While there, he must choose »

What are Your Favorite Winter Holiday Themed Movies?
26 October 2009 2:39 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I wasn't quite sure how to properly word the headline for this post considering I want to make sure you understand I am talking about the season pretty much running from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but I also want to make sure you know the film itself doesn't have to necessarily be about the holidays.
Take Die Hard for instance, it's set during Christmas time, but it isn't a Christmas film. However, it fits in with what I am looking for here. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Eyes Wide Shut, Fanny and Alexander, Batman Returns, Gremlins, The Thin Man and When Harry Met Sally are other examples. Hell, I would even say Rocky IV and Lethal Weapon count. As a matter of fact, I would say the non-Christmas, Christmas movies are the more interesting additions. How about The Shining or even Psycho?
Then, of course, I personally love films such as Love, »

Bronson Review (5/5) - Ultra-stylish, ultra-violent 'Bronson' is fall's standout art film.
8 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
The highlight of the fall art-house movie season is Danish-born director Nicolas Winding Refn's ambitious, brutally beautiful “Bronson," a high-energy biopic about Britain's most violent prisoner, Michael Peterson Aka Charlie Bronson, brought to audacious life by Irish actor Tom Hardy. Working with cinematographer and former Stanley Kubrick collaborator Larry Smith (he lit "Eyes Wide Shut" and worked on "The Shining" as well as Refn's "Fear X") and production designer Adrian Smith, Refn creates a sensational experience, the psychological and physical journey of the one-in-a-million Bronson, a crook who discovers his artistic talent during his many years in prison. Granted Charlie's art is not for the squeamish. »
OneRepublic Get Baroque In 'All The Right Moves' Video

Gilded clip reflects band's new status as pop royalty.

There is a gilded feel to OneRepublic's "All the Right Moves" video, and it makes sense the band would go that way.
After all, the song could almost be described as electro-charged chamber music, with its pealing organ and trilling strings and Ryan Tedder's gold-leaf falsetto (so that explains the masked ballroom dancers). And there's no denying the fact that OneRepublic have entered the triumphant, downright baroque portion of their career: their upcoming Waking Up album (due November 17) follows the success of 2007's Dreaming Out Loud, which turned the band into pop royalty, so the trappings and formalities of the clip can be understood, too.
Still, what the video is actually most reminiscent of is one of Panic! at the Disco videos — with all its shimmery ephemera, »
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 »

Martyn’s Top Ten Disturbing Films
17 September 2009 4:40 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
It is rarely highlighted what a strange habit and practice cinema-going is. Off we go to sit in a darkened room, usually with complete strangers, and watch something akin to a dream unfold before us. After all, Hollywood in particular, has been known as “The Dream Factory”. Why restrict it to Hollywood? Cinema = dreams. And as the subconscious plays havoc; dreams can turn into nightmares.
Audiences can laugh, cry and scream together. Each person maybe processing information in a variety of differing ways, yet, filmmakers employ a bag of tricks to invoke particular responses, at particular times.
Film experiences have a habit of becoming cherished, personal memories. It can achieve an ambiguous effect. Millions were astounded by Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, just as they were terrified by Jaws, seventeen years earlier. Alfred Hitchcock devised the infamous shower sequence in Psycho relying on suggestion, chocolate sauce, rapid editing and shrieking »

Jennifer Lopez gets helping hands from Pharrell Williams in the making of her new single called "Lola", Pitbull said. While attending the Sunday ceremony of 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio Music City Hall, the song's featured guest opened up that Pharrell serves as the producer of the new track.
Furthermore, Pitbull who tweeted about having a duet with Jennifer earlier this year revealed he and Jennifer have filmed a music video aimed to promote the soon-to-be-released single. He described the video as "an upscale Eyes Wide Shut - where my role is being taken advantage of by these beautiful women who are, like, massaging me."
News surrounding Jennifer Lopez's new album has emerged since June. During an interview, she revealed that her new album will be put out for purchase sometime in January 2010. Although she didn't mention about Pitbull's involvement, the wife of singer Marc Anthony indeed said »

Nine is a new musical feature directed by Rob "Chicago" Marshall, from a screenplay by Anthony Minghella and Michael Tolkin, based on author Arthur Kopit's book for the 1982 Tony Award-winning musical of the same name, derived from an Italian play by Mario Fratti and inspired by director Federico Fellini's autobiographical film 8½.

Cruise Just Cooler than Pitt

A Brad Pitt rep says the Inglourious Basterds star didn’t actually make fun of Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie , as one German magazine reported. But just in case he did, Joal Ryan of E! wants to you to know that Cruise is way cooler anyway. Why? Eye patches are interesting—mustaches not so much. Brooke Shields is cool. She's cool with Cruise. We have no idea where she stands on Pitt. Mr. & Mrs. Smith , Pitt’s movie with future lover Angelina Jolie, didn’t stick with you—or have the nudity—of Cruise and then-wife Nicole Kidman’s Eyes Wide Shut. In the early ... »
Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds
21 August 2009 6:39 AM, PDT | MovieRetriever | See recent MovieRetriever news »
Aug 21, 2009 He's done it again. Quentin Tarantino has delivered. Unlike anything you will see the rest of this year or even the next few movie seasons, his Inglourious Basterds is a daring, inventive, genre-defying film that has already polarized viewers. One of the elements missing from this season (and many in recent years) has been a movie worth arguing about. Remember how people ridiculed or adored films like A.I., Eyes Wide Shut, or even The Blair Witch Project? Whatever side of the debate you fall on, doesn't it feel like there are fewer and fewer ...Read more at MovieRetriever.com »
Vanessa Hudgens got naked on the internet again
6 August 2009 2:31 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
You know what happens when High School Musical hottie Vanessa Hudgens stands in front of a mirror, has a digital camera in her hand and easy access to a broadband line is in the room? She acts like she's Nicole Kidman filming a scene for Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Something tells me that if Vanessa's camera also recorded sound we'd hear Chris Isaac's "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" playing in the background.
Yesterday an assortment of photos showing an alleged Hudgens standing in front of a bedroom mirror and wearing something very tiny and gold around her waist hit the web, the kind of thing you'd see a lady wear on the stage in a gentleman's club or at a Michael Bay pool party. While gossip blogs and celeb fansites wondered if it was the real Gabriella or just a very close approximation, their minds also drifted »

Dallas — As fans learned from Bella's birthday bash in "New Moon," celebrations with the Cullen clan aren't always the best idea. But over the weekend, thousands of people attended a sold-out event in the Lone Star State, eager to prove that Twilighters know how to party.
"TwiCon '09 is a 'Twilight' convention," explained actress Christian Serratos, who plays Angela Weber in the series, looking around at all the Twilighters bearing "Team Edward" T-shirts, "I Drive Like a Cullen" bumper stickers and, most importantly, smiles. "We're meeting fans, signing autographs, taking pictures and doing all that jazz. And we're having a good time."
Downtown Dallas was transformed into Forks West during the four-day convention at the Sheraton hotel, across the street from a »
Hump Day Hotties: The Cast of Nine
29 July 2009 12:41 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Hello, all. Kieran here (aka the Know nothing Know it All) filling in for Nathaniel with another edition of Hump Day Hotties. Okay...so I have a problem with Nine. I'm a little obsessed, but I'm trying to be guarded about my excitement. We've heard the famous “The Musical is Back!” tune many times (and to no avail) over the aughts, that one has must be guarded. For every Chicago and Moulin Rouge!, there are several Rents, Producers, Dreamgirls, Hairsprays and Sweeney Todds (in ascending order of achievement), failing to land that elusive best picture nod. A plus: Nine is helmed by the man who last took a musical all the way to the win, and is sometimes credited for bringing the musical back (even though he didn't). Regardless of how the film fares, you can't deny that the talent has talent...and hotness in spades.

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #1
19 July 2009 3:06 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
When you run a movie website you will undoubtedly come across people and commenters that say one of two things: "I can't believe you haven't seen that movie! "You need to watch more movies!" Depending on the site you run and the attitude you have I think these are two entirely legitimate comments. If you (in this case myself) intend to give an opinion on movies you should at least know a little something about what you are talking about, and not merely one single genre unless that is your site's target demographic. You can go back and look at reviews I wrote back in 2003 (when I started this site) and easily recognize how little I knew. I was overly congratulatory and simply inexperienced and tried making up for it with forced writing. I recognize it, but have only used my inexperience as a means to realize there is much, »
