Nine Posters? Nine Nominations? Nein Review!
24 November 2009 8:48 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The Nine embargo is still in place for "reviews" but lifted as far as any other discussion goes: awards and whatnot. I'm curious how there can exist an embargo on discussing a movie (outside of a review embargo which I totally understand) since people discuss movies freely for years before they come out. Free Speech! I'm joking. It's an awards season curiousity but I play along. After all, the game of waiting for something you desperately want can be fun. Think of how you felt about Christmas as a child. The problem stems from the studios making film fans wait way too long. Christmas should come every weekend, you know. Movies are not like gifts. You can't just unwrap them and move to the next and form a big pile. They take 2 hours just to unwrap in the first place. Spread them out!
You know what else is curious? The new posters. »

Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman Love To Sing Together At Home
24 November 2009 2:40 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The country singer admits he would never rule out a collaboration with his actress wife – who showed off her vocal talents in ‘Moulin Rouge!’ – because they have so much fun singing together at home. He said: “Would we do something together? I don’t think it’s ever out of the question. I don’t know. We sort of do our own things professionally. But I love singing with her at home. It’s quite nice. She’s a huge inspiration for everything I do.” Nicole, 42, may not be the only member of his family Keith collaborates with in future. The singer also revealed that the couple’s 16-month-old daughter Sunday Rose is already showing signs of musical talent. He explained to America’s Ok! magazine: “She’s got some pipes. They’re loud, you know! I think so. I think she sounds quite musical. Sit her at the piano »

Keith Urban's family music

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman love performing duets.

10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

1694 Voltaire, Enlightment philosopher, writer, progressive. Candide is his work that's most familiar to modern audiences having been filmed, adapted, and put on lists like this one as well as being adapted into a popular and oft-revived comic operetta.

Film review: The Informant!
19 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This strange and interesting story should have been told without exclamation marks and other wackiness, says Peter Bradshaw
An exclamation mark on the end of a title is a worrying sign. Lionel Bart doubled the pain with two, for his 1965 Robin Hood stage musical Twang!! (The critical consensus in favour of Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film Moulin Rouge! has incidentally meant that movie writers tend tactfully to remove Luhrmann's original exclamation mark.) Steven Soderbergh's The Informant! is a strained comedy that needn't have been either of those things. It is based on the true story of a 1990s corporate whistleblower called Mark Whitacre, played by Matt Damon - an excitable, Walter-Mitty-ish fellow who secretly informed the FBI of a price-fixing scam at his bio-tech firm, but himself became investigated for embezzlement. Does that sound dull? Just in case it does, Soderbergh has commissioned a relentlessly jazzy, wacky musical score from »

Kidman: 'Sexual Fetish Quotes Were Out Of Context'
19 November 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Nicole Kidman has laughed off reports she incorporates sexual fetishes into her marriage - because her comments about experimentation were actually about her movie roles.
The Moulin Rouge! star caused a stir following a recent interview with British GQ magazine, when she seemingly admitted to trying "strange sexual fetish stuff".
But the actress insists her quotes were taken out of context, vowing never to reveal the secrets of her love life to the press.
She tells Access Hollywood, "That's what I said in relation to my work. They left that part out. In terms of my work, yeah, I'm interested in exploring love, and so that comes in all different forms... In terms of my private life, I'd never reveal what I've explored in my private life." »
Luhrmann Honoured In Australia
19 November 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Famed director Baz Luhrmann was honoured in his native Australia on Wednesday night - he was presented with the coveted Living Legend prize at the country's Inside Film (If) Awards.
The Moulin Rouge! moviemaker was also handed the trophy for Box Office Achievement for his 2008 epic Australia, a homage to his home country.
Lurhmann used the opportunity to pay tribute to the ever-expanding Australian film industry, telling the crowd, "This is an industry to be proud of, it's incredibly exciting. We have it, let's not blow it. I think it's an extraordinarily exciting time to be an Australian filmmaker."
Australian love story Samson & Delilah was the big winner at the ceremony, held at Sydney's Luna Park, scooping six awards, including Best Film and Best Actor/Actress honours for its stars - newcomers Rowan McNamara and Marissa Gibson.
Balibo, starring Anthony Lapaglia, scored seven nominations but only took two prizes, for best sound and editing. »
Kidman hates to hear herself singing
18 November 2009 11:55 PM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, Nov 19 (Ians) Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman hates her singing voice because she can’t reach the high notes.
The Oscar-winner, who sang in in ‘Moulin Rouge’, is set to wow fans again in upcoming movie musical ‘Nine’, but says she can’t listen to her singing voice, reported imdb.com.
‘I’m not a singer. When I act, I know there are limitations to my ability but I can basically go in there and I can interpret something, whereas, when I sing, I can’t hit the notes I want to hit always, and I can’t express myself exactly the way I want to, so that can be frustrating,’ said Kidman.

Kidman Hates To Hear Herself Singing
18 November 2009 1:57 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Nicole Kidman hates her singing voice because she can never reach the high notes she thinks her musical characters should hit.
The Oscar-winning actress proved she could carry a tune in Moulin Rouge! and she's about to wow film fans again in upcoming movie musical Nine - but she can't sit and listen to her singing voice.
She says, "I'm not a singer. When I act, I know there are limitations to my ability but I can basically go in there and I can interpret something, whereas, when I sing, I can't hit the notes I wanna hit always, and I can't express myself exactly the way I want to, so that can be frustrating."
Speaking of her big song in Nine, the actress confesses, "I would have loved to have been able to sing that song in a very very high soprano voice, but I just don't have that voice... and I feel exposed." »
Decade in Review: 2001 Top Ten
17 November 2009 8:41 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
What follows is my original top ten list of 2001. We'll discuss each year of the decade over the next month or two (we already did 2000). I do this because I am curious about which films "stick" and which fade and why and maybe you are too? Best year of the decade I think. The top five films would all be valid #1 film choices in some years. New comments are in red.
Note: This list references films released in NYC in 2001, not year of production or year in which they first the hit festival circuit or whatnot.
Runners Up (in descending order): Sexy Beast, Ali, Series 7: The Contenders, The Others, Last Resort and Waking Life. I don't remember loving Ali that much... and more than The Others? I don't remember that at all. I mean Nicole Kidman was the shit Twice Over in 2001.

Kidman Can Collect Thousands
9 November 2009 12:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Nicole Kidman has escaped the effects of the global economic downturn - she's owed more than $16,000 (£10,000) in cash.
The Moulin Rouge! star's bank balance is set to swell after she claims the $16,673 (£10,420) she is due from both Wells Fargo Bank and NBC Universal, according to the California State Controller's Office.
The U.S. bank owes the actress for "court deposits" while she can lay stake to money NBC owes her for "wages, payroll and salary". »
Kidman On Kenyan Mission To Fight Domestic Violence
5 November 2009 8:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Nicole Kidman is taking the stage in Kenya in a bid to raise awareness of women affected by domestic violence.
Just last month, the star testified before lawmakers at the U.S. Congress to talk about violence against woman across the world, admitting that Hollywood "probably" played a role in contributing to acts of aggression.
And now the Moulin Rouge! actress is raising the issue on a tour of the African country, as part of an initiative launched by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (Unifem).
Kidman will visit the Kenyatta Hospital and a school on Friday as part of her role as a goodwill ambassador for the organisation.
Encouraging the support of women in Africa, she says, "These champions need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band-aids, but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights. It is time for policies that intentionally involve society’s key communities - from health and education departments to the police and judiciary - to deliver on that commitment. To succeed, it requires political will at the highest levels.” »
Nicole Kidman Cops to "Strange Sexual Fetish" Activities
4 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
Nicole Kidman wants the world to know: She has been a very kinky girl. In a recent interview, the Moulin Rouge! actress admitted, "I've explored obsession. I've explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I've explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I've explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy." And this is coming from a woman who was married to Tom Cruise, so it's pretty safe to assume that she's well-versed in odd behavior. Kidman goes on to say that her marriage to current hubby Keith Urban has been similarly adventurous: "It's a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly... »

Tracking Shot November 2009: Beginners, Black Swan, Let Me In
2 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- At the beginning of every month, Ioncinema.com's "Tracking Shot" features a handful of projects that we feel are worth signaling out and that are moments away from lensing. As we get closer to holiday dates productions tend to drop, so this November we are keeping tabs on only a handful of projects. Mike Mills is finally getting to work on his sophomore feature which would see Ewan McGregor play a young man rocked by two announcements from his elderly father (Christopher Plummer)…one, that he has terminal cancer, and two, that he’s coming out of the closet. One more name will join the cast - perhaps the age of Brendan Fraser when he was in Gods and Monsters. Filming is set for L.A. Not much production info has been divulged on Darren Aronofsky's next film. Word was that production would begin this month and that »
'Let the Right One In': Yes, I saw it again
31 October 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
In honor of Halloween, a day of vampires and naughty misdeeds, I sat down to watch Let the Right One In again -- a movie tied to a naughty misdeed of my own. My offending act of immoral behavior? Back when it was released, one year ago, on Oct. 24, 2008, I wrote a review that trashed this pensive and brooding Swedish vampire movie. I called it "arty," I said that it wasn't "coherent," and I accused the hero -- a 12-year-old blond boy in a wintry Stockholm suburb who befriends the vampire child next door -- of "skulk through the movie in a blank-faced torpor. »

DVD Round Up, Oct. 30, 2009: ‘Sauna,’ ‘The Tournament,’ ‘The Butcher’
30 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Many editions of the DVD Round-Up have featured a different genre and focus for each title within it. This week seems a little more thematically linked as we have a trio of foreign horror films and a few more independent films than usual. Of course, there has to a holiday comedy to spice things up.
Consider this column informational with synopsis, tech specs, and special features info for titles that might go otherwise unnoticed, but if you’re looking for more critical opinion, we covered “Sauna” when it played at the EU Film Fest, “Medicine For Melancholy” when it was available on IFC Direct, and “Nothing Like the Holidays” when it played in theaters.
“P” and “The Tournament” were released on October 20th, 2009
“The Butcher,” “Medicine For Melancholy,” “Nothing Like the Holidays,” and “Sauna” were released on October 27th, 2009

Nicole Kidman's singing terror
29 October 2009 11:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Nicole Kidman is terrified of singing. The 42-year-old star - who has previously released duets with her ?Moulin Rouge!' co-star Ewan McGregor and British singer Robbie Williams - insists she hates performing in front of people and had to be persuaded to sing in new musical movie ?Nine'. She said: "I was terrified of it. I am not a natural singer in the sense that I don't love getting up in front of a group of people and just belting out a tune. It needs to be coaxed out of me because I want my voice to tell a story and sometimes it doesn't have the capacity to do that." The actress felt particularly pressured because director Rob Marshall had »
