Aff Review: Herpes Boy
10 hours ago | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Herpes Boy won the Austin Film Festival's Audience Award in the Comedy Vanguard category, which should come as no surprise to anyone fortunate enough to catch either of the sold out Aff screenings. The filmmakers and stars - including the charming Beth Grant who also co-produced the film - chose to stand during both screenings so that more festival attendees could see their film. With such an endearing and supportive force, it's no wonder that heart and passion transfers to the screen in this funny and poignant film.
Herpes Boy was directed by Nathaniel Atcheson and is based on the Herpes Boy YouTube web series created by Byron Lane in 2007. In the screen adaptation which Byron wrote, he plays the lead character Rudolph Murray, who hates his life and is a bit of a hypochondriac. He has a large purple birthmark on his upper lip and everyday he finds someone staring, »

Finally! All Those Ambiguous Movie Endings Resolved!
10 November 2009 12:40 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Nothing gets the blood boiling like an ambiguous movie ending. You've invested roughly two or more hours of your time on a film only to watch the freakin' thing fade to black right in the middle of a conversation or before the main characters had time to resolve all their issues. The person you're watching the film with almost always goes "That's it!? That's how they're ending it!?" before turning to you and saying something like, "That's the last time I let you pick the movie!"
Well, good news is those maniacs at College Humor managed to dig up the actual endings for a group of movies whose ambiguous finales are pretty memorable. They have Lost in Translation, No Country for Old Men, The Graduate, The Wrestler and even The Sopranos. Always wonder what Bill Murray whispered to Scarlett Johansson? Or ponder what happened to Mickey Rourke's character after »

Oscar Eye: Predicting The Winners Following Precious's Giant Success
9 November 2009 4:51 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's not often that much of anyone looks at the top of box office charts for the Oscar predictions, but here's a little-known fact for those of you who think of Oscar candidates as tiny movies that nobody sees: Best Picture winners are usually hits. At least by the time they wrapped up their theatrical run, most Best Picture winners of the last 10 years had made over $100 million, and those that didn't-- No Country for Old Men and Crash-- were hits on DVD. Audiences matter when it comes to who takes home the gold, no matter how many dour indies like The Reader come in for attention in a given year. And while it's all well and good for a movie to become a hit after it gets critical acclaim, it's a slam dunk when audiences embrace it from the beginning. So when Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By »
New Extended Trailer for ‘The Killer Inside Me’
6 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Casey Affleck has been known to take some pretty intense roles as of late. His first being the role of Robert Ford in The Assassination of Jesse James and then his work on his brother’s project, Gone Baby Gone. It looks like Affleck is going to step it up once again as Sheriff Lou Ford in the ultra-violent The Killer Inside Me.
The film is based on the novel by Jim Thompson, who also wrote the novels films such as The Grifters and The Getaway were adapted from. The original 1976 film starred Stacey Keach, who took on the role that Affleck is now running with.
The extended trailer shows off some of the intense moments (hopefully not all) from the film, such as some raunchy aggressive sex with both Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson, as well as a violent murder of one of them. This may just be the »

Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me Trailer Starring Casey Affleck
6 November 2009 11:34 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
I'm not always eager to post promo and sales trailers for movies when they find their way online because they're usually too long, rough around the edges, and quick to be pulled off the web anyway. They're not intended for the general public, and shouldn't really be judged as such. In this case, however, we've got our first look at what appears to be a very promising flick, and with all the talent involved I simply couldn't help posting about it. Michael Winterbottom's most recent film Genova didn't get a ton of attention at Tiff last year, but his previous two films, A Mighty Heart and The Road to Guantanamo both made my top 10 lists in their respective years. This time around he's teaming up with Casey Affleck, who is riding a wave of critical acclaim from outstanding performances in Gone Baby Bone and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, »

Scenes We Love: Miller's Crossing
6 November 2009 11:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
In the Great Coen Debates that occur among film fans, there's one that I never feel gets enough love: Miller's Crossing. It's probably my favorite next to The Big Lebowski. The film is deliciously dark and dreary (you can watch this in summer and still feel cold), but punctuated by that startling Coens humor. The dialogue and character quirks are not as exaggerated as they are in other Coen films, and when a character does get theatrical, it's appropriate to the setting. These are thugs who find themselves in positions of great wealth and power, after all, and they'll never know quite how to behave in the real world.
The film has a level of tension I don't think the Coens matched until No Country For Old Men. Tom's white-knuckle walk into Miller's Crossing is probably my favorite scene (actually, it's difficult to pick just one), but it doesn't appear to be on YouTube. »

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin win Oscar Hosting duties
4 November 2009 3:32 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are set to share the hosting duties at the 82nd Academy Awards. While Martin is a seasoned host, having performed in 2000 and 2002, this will be Baldwin's first time at the Oscars, although he is not unaccustomed to the spotlight as he is a fan favourite host on Saturday Night Live.
Baldwin and Martin are a fitting duo as they will soon be appearing on the big screen together, alongside Meryl Streep, in the upcoming Nancy Meyer film, It's Complicated. The co-hosts have taken over the duties from Hugh Jackman, who pulled out of the running last week. Some fans had hoped that he would opt to try and repeat his charismatic performance from last year while others had hopes that this year's Emmy Host Neil Patrick Harris would get the high profile gig.
Although multiple hosts have been something of a rarity over the past »
Robert De Niro's 'Everybody's Fine' premiere more like a Miramax wake than a celebration
4 November 2009 1:27 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
There has been scuttlebutt around Hollywood that the real reason Bob Iger is about to chop Miramax into a sliver of its former self is because of his unhappiness with the development and expensive marketing costs. In the long run he intends to have someone else come in and resurrect the mini-major down the road. Daniel Battsek had a pretty impressive track record with the Oscar-winning "No Country For Old Men" and "The Queen," but the last year found the barely profitable "Doubt," disappointing bombs such as "Adventureland," "Extract," "The Boys are Back" and the mishandled "Cheri." That underachieving trend won't... »
Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to host Oscars
3 November 2009 12:58 PM, PST | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »
Oscar organizers on Tuesday named an unlikely pair of hosts for March's Academy Awards, comedian Steve Martin and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, a past loser at the world's top film awards.The choice of Martin and Baldwin comes as a mild surprise on the heels of last February's Oscar telecast hosted by song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman. It earned some favorable reviews and higher viewership than the previous year.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars, had previously hired "Hairspray" director Adam Shankman to co-produce and, based on Jackman's success and Shankman's history making musicals, the betting had been that organizers might aim for another music-oriented telecast.But Martin is known as a stand-up comedian and comic actor, while Baldwin's reputation was built in theater and film dramas like 2003's "The Cooler," which earned him a best supporting actor nomination. »
First Look: New Book Art for Upcoming Movie 'The Road'
3 November 2009 10:36 AM, PST | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Above is a first look at the re-release book art for The Road, which enters movie theaters (and the Oscar fray) in just a few short weeks on November 25, 2009. The 2006 book by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) was a bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner that followed the journey of a man and his son across the landscape of a postapocalyptic America. It's now been adapted to movie form by director John Hillcoat (The Proposition), and debuted to much acclaim at this year's Venice International Film Festival (it's currently rated 89% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). Starring Viggo Mortensen and newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee, the movie's been described as both "bleak" and "moving" and, per the cover art, was declared by Esquire magazine as "The Most Important...

The gutting of Miramax, Pt. II: Is this the end of New York movie culture?
2 November 2009 3:58 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Last week, it was announced that Miramax Films would close its New York offices, and that its president, Daniel Battsek, was being asked to step down. If that sounds like an unhappy day for the world of independent film -- well, it is. Yet as far as Miramax is concerned, it's really just one more nail in a coffin that was already slamming shut. In case you missed the news, here's the post I wrote back on Oct. 11 about the gutting of Miramax that took place last month, and what it could portend, in general, for studio specialty divisions.

Movie Review: A Serious Man

Up until A Serious Man, I don't think many would call Ethan and Joel Coen serious men. Looking at Fargo, Burn After Reading, and Raising Arizona, it's clear the Coens prefer to brandish their wickedly black, and sophisticated humor than make forays into stone-faced dramas. Even last year, when the two adapted Cormac McCarthy's heavily philosophical masterpiece No Country For Old Men, the film came out darkly sardonic. This makes their latest film so fascinating. Yes, there is still humor, but it's also heavily meditative and profound.
The cast is largely made up of unknown faces. The protagonist, Larry Gobnik, is played by Michael Stuhlbarg. He's a Jewish physics professor in the mid-west in 1967. His son is a unambituous pothead, »
