Tim Roth: who's the daddy?
20 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He made his name playing criminals and low-lifes – now Tim Roth is back as the nicest father in town. Catherine Shoard meets him in Cannes to talk films, politics and bringing up his own teenagers
When Clarice Starling is first assigned to interview Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, we are told, in Thomas Harris's novel, that "a brief silence follows the name, always, in any civilised gathering". Something similar happens when you say you're off to interview Tim Roth. A light gasp, a small step back. Roth – who was set to play the younger Lecter in 2002's Red Dragon, until Anthony Hopkins dyed his hair and reprised the role – has a reputation for being slippery. He just doesn't give, I'm told. Meet him in California, people caution, and he clams up. Get an audience in London and he is prickly, defensive.
So why is it that in Cannes, »

Sheril Antonio: Vintage Spike Lee on HBO
20 May 2012 10:44 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Last month HBO was showing Spike Lee's Girl 6(1996) and this month (until May 28) Crooklyn (1994).
I have been encouraging folks to take a look at the films and report back on how it compares to their first viewing -- if they have seen it before and if they have not, how it aligns with their "understanding" of the auteur's style. I am currently writing about his contributions to American cinema and not only was I surprised at the results, but, so were the individual spectators. The truth is that Lee's films are far more complex than people remember or are conscious of when watching them. Here are some of the things I called attention to in our post viewing conversations about Crooklyn and Girl 6:
1: They each have women at the center of the narrative.
2: The director appears in both films.
3: They have elements that »

FX Makes Tim Roth A Bank Robber
18 May 2012 5:15 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Lie To Me and Reservoir Dogs Star Gets New Show
Television continues to get its act together for the forthcoming Fall 2012 schedule, and today a doozy has been announced for all avowed crime-heads. Tim Roth, star of such films as Reservoir Dogs and such TV shows as Fox’s Lie to Me, has worked a development deal with the FX network, home of our beloved Justified, to bring us a bank robber show.
A bank robber show!
Details are slim, but here’s the story according to Deadline: Roth and his co-creator on this as-yet untitled project, Homeland co-exec Alexander Cary, have received a script commitment from FX for this drama, which will star Roth, about “addiction, bank robbery, and an extremely volatile family dynamic.”
Good. I want it now. Please.
It’s a fairly vague synopsis, as one would expect at this early stage, but my finely-honed instincts are »

17 May 2012 6:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Dimension Films has announced that their Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller directed Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame To Kill For will be released on October 4th 2013. There aren't really any other details revealed. I loved the first film and I imagine this will be just as good.

The Raid – review
17 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This violent, intense and brilliant bulletfest from Indonesia puts western action movies to shame
It was in a delicate, almost feathery mood that I sat down to watch this film: apparently set in Indonesia, probably an evanescent arthouse piece, and called, The Rain, was it … ? Perhaps it would soothe my working London commuter's cares like a cup of elusively scented herbal tea. Perhaps there would be unhurried shots of treetops languidly disturbed by evening breezes, of skies on which mysterious cloudshapes would be inscribed, lakes whose surfaces would be disturbed by whorls from the titular rainfall. In the evening, perhaps there would be enigmatic silences between gentle characters accompanied by the plinkety-plunkety-plink of wind-chimes and later a full and plangent moon.
Actually, no. The Raid is a skull-splinteringly violent, uncompromisingly intense and simply brilliant martial arts action movie in a nightmarish and claustrophobic setting. It has something of Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs »

New John Woo Film In The Works: Day Of The Beast
16 May 2012 8:31 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Upcoming project is a remake of ’60s Yakuza flick.
I was never more interested in movies and filmmaking than I was in the early ’90s, when I was coming out of high school. As far as movies go, it was an interesting era, in that the major studios were lavishing unheard-of sums of money upon productions that were clearly destined to wind up being utter shit, while off in the periphery, what would become annoyingly known as the “independent film movement” was just starting to catch its footing.
Among the guys at the forefront of this movement were Robert Rodriguez, who had submitted himself to medical testing to raise the money for his first micro-budget movie, El Mariachi, and Quentin Tarantino, who on the heels of Reservoir Dogs, was being pursued by every big-name actor in town for the privilege of providing him their services at union scale.

Breaking News: Syfy Announces Summer Schedule, Including Series Finale of Eureka
15 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The seemingly endless wait for the Syfy summer schedule is finally over! There is good news and bad, and one thing that is both good and bad. Let’s start with that: the Eureka Season Finale. We love Eureka, so every episode is good news; the fact that it’s a series finale, not so much. Mark your calendars – and have plenty of Kleenex in stock – for July 16 at 9/8c. Right after Comic-Con, which is early this year. We’ll see if that means a panel or not.
The good news: Warehouse 13 and Alphas return on July 23. The hmmm news is that Lost Girl will move to Fridays at 10 on July 20. Hey That’S Haven’S Spot. So Where The Heck Is Haven? Admittedly we had a head’s up that Haven would be pushed to fall when we learned that the DVDs for Season 2 weren’t being released until September but Argh. »

Videos: Tim Burton Falls Off Stage, Michael Madson Will Cut Your Ear Off if You Text During a Movie
14 May 2012 4:56 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
During a press conference for "Dark Shadows" in Tokyo, Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton took the stage. While speaking, Burton took a step back and fell off the stage. What was almost a disaster was averted by his assistant, who somehow knew that Burton was going to fall and caught him before anything major happened. Meanwhile, Michael Madson attended a special screening of "Reservoir Dogs" at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas. While there, he recorded a message for anyone planning to text during a movie. And that message is that he'll cut your ear off. Watch both videos below. Tim Burton Falls Off Stage: Michael Madsen: »

Alamo Drafthouse Gets Stuck In The Middle With Michael Madsen
11 May 2012 1:47 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There are some movie scenes that are simply so disturbing, they're burned into our memories. For me, the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs is high on the list. Maybe I'm just an old softy, but I always feel bad to the point of physically uncomfortable watching that poor guy strapped in the chair while Mr. Blonde messes with him. The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has used this cringe-inducing scene as part of their campaign to discourage talking and cell phone usage during movies. While I feel less sympathy toward movie-theater-texters than I do for cops stuck in the middle with Mr. Blonde, I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone. But that's what the Alamo Drafthouse offers as a repercussion for texting in their theater in this amusing public service announcement, featuring none other than Vic Vega himself, Michael Madsen. It's probably wrong that I feel a strange combination of terrified and »
Cool Videos: Michael Madsen has something to say about texting at the movies
11 May 2012 11:17 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Texters beware! Michael Madsen has a very stern message for those who think it's a-okay to text during a movie and it involves some of the more cringe-worthy actions of his character from Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Blonde. The PSA was created by the Alamo Drafthouse theater and I would absolutely love it if it trickled down to every theater in the world. Also, I think whippings in the lobby of the theater for those caught would be good, too. Possibly better »

Exclusive: Michael Madsen Will Do Terrible Things if You Talk or Text During a Movie in This Alamo Drafthouse PSA
11 May 2012 10:51 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
As we speak, movie theater chains across the country are debating whether or not teenagers should be allowed to text during movies, and if that doesn’t make you weep for the future, nothing will. But before you start bawling into that handful of Kleenex, be aware that some hope remains: deep in the heart of Texas, Tim League’s Alamo Drafthouse continues to enforce a strict no talking/no texting policy…and now they’ve enlisted Reservoir Dogs’ Michael Madsen to help spread the good word. Wanna see the world premiere of Madsen’s new anti-texting PSA for the Alamo Drafthouse? It’s after the jump, folks. If you’ve ever been to the Alamo Drafthouse, then you’re already aware that each and every screening is accompanied by a special no talking/no texting PSA. More often than not, these PSA’s are tied into the film you »

Sacha Baron Cohen Gets Unchained From 'Django'
9 May 2012 3:55 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Update: Sacha Baron Cohen has freed himself from the shackles of Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained."
The "Hugo" star was originally attached to play the role of Scotty Harmony, a role described in the screenplay as an overweight 24-year-old who receives a female slave as a gift from his father (and one severely re-imagined after Tarantino's first choice for the part, Jonah Hill, proved to be unavailable). According to The Playlist, Cohen is unable to play the role due to scheduling conflicts with "The Dictator" press tour (which is proving to be quite the production in and of itself).
Sacha Baron Cohen is the third actor who's had to drop out of "Django" due to scheduling conflicts, following Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kevin Costner. Costner has since been replaced by "Death Proof" star Kurt Russell, but no word yet on who will be filling in for Gordon-Levitt and, now, Cohen.

Trailer, Poster Debut for Dark Feed from the Writers of The Ward
9 May 2012 7:46 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Shawn and Michael Rasmussen - you might recall they scripted John Carpenter's The Ward - have wrapped up Dark Feed, their own directorial effort.
A sales trailer and poster have been revealed in anticipation of the Cannes Film Market. The pic is being handled by Ronna Wallace (Reservoir Dogs) at Eastgate Pictures. You can find the trailer after the jump along with a larger look at the image you see on the left.
The story tells of a film crew that moves into an abandoned psychiatric hospital with a shadowy past to shoot a low budget horror film, they get more than they bargained for. The late nights and lack of sleep begin to take a toll, and the longer this crew works, the more the leaky, wet building seems to be coming back to life, feeding off its new inhabitants.
We're told Dark Feed was shot in New England »
Mark Kermode's DVD round-up

War Horse; Strippers vs Werewolves; Four; Buck
Among the charges most regularly levelled at Steven Spielberg is that his movies are over-egged puddings that trade in rank melodrama and infantilising sentimentality. A whinnying chorus of such dismissive jeers greeted the arrival of War Horse (2011, DreamWorks, 12) late last year, with some predictably sniffy manure being thrown at this most populist auteur's emotional Grand National. Admittedly neither understatement nor brevity has ever been Spielberg's strong point, hence the much repeated joke: War Horse walks into a bar, barman says: "Why the long film?"
Yet to complain that this nostalgically cinematic adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's bestselling book (and feted stage adaptation) is somewhat soft around the edges is to forget that the source story was specifically aimed at younger readers. No, this is not a four-legged revisiting of the beach scenes from Saving Private Ryan, which portrayed the horrors of war in shockingly visceral form. »

Sitges 2012 Poster Art Celebrates the End of the World
4 May 2012 11:40 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
One of these years I swear I'm going to make it to Catalonia for the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival. What other fest would dedicate its image to and center its 2012 theme around such an iconic concept as the end of the world?
From the Press Release:
Few historical situations have been as opportune to reflect on the expiration of everything. 2012, year of financial and spiritual crisis, of the new white-collar warlocks guiding us smilingly towards the precipice, of the return of the nuclear sword of Damocles, of the Roman finis hominis engraved in the stone of a Mayan temple. And all recorded on a 4X2 cm device.
The end of the world as we know it has been present in literature, comics, and the cinema in all time periods and from different slants. Sometimes focusing on the catastrophes themselves that cause a hypothetical apocalypse, or on the day after and the survivors' odyssey, »

Movies This Week: May 4-11, 2012
4 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Discriminating filmgoers in Austin will be pleased to find that this week offers plenty of choices, a surprising number of which do not involve Joss Whedon.
The best retro offering of the week is the exquisite, digitally restored Yellow Submarine, playing nightly May 8-13 at various Alamo Drafthouse locations. Based on the seminal Beatles hit, animated in a vibrant oh-so-Sixties style and released when Joss Whedon was only 4, Yellow Submarine (pictured above) is a landmark film that stands the test of time. If you love Sixties pop culture, you'll love this movie. (And if you're too young to remember Sixties pop culture, watch Yellow Submarine and learn. Your life will be so much the better for hearing "Eleanor Rigby.")
In the mood for something trippy but not so psychedelic? On Monday the Austin Film Society and Justine's Brasserie are presenting L'Age d'Or, proto-tripster Luis Buñuel's 1930 follow-up to his masterpiece Un chien andalou (yes, »

Interview: C.W. Prather, Director Of The Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival
2 May 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | Bad Lit | See recent Bad Lit news »
Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film has long been a huge fan of the Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival. Every year we’re extremely impressed with the way it pokes, prods, pushes and stabs the horror genre in entertaining new directions through its diverse selection of boundary breaking movies. Some of our favorite horror flicks of the past few years — such as James Eaves‘ Bane, Rona Mark‘s Strange Girls and Stuart Simpson‘s El Monstro Del Mar — came to us through Spooky Movie.
This year will mark Spooky Movie’s seventh year in existence and it should prove to be a major milestone in the fest’s history as it will move to a new home at the prestigious AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, Maryland. As the festival busily prepares for their biggest edition yet to be held on October 10-18, we thought we’d check »
