Amy Adams Talks About Leap Year

8 hours ago | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »

Amy Adams' career is red hot, coming off of an Oscar-nominated turn in Doubt and starring roles in 2009 hits Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Julie & Julia. And now she's starting off 2010 with a bang, playing opposite Matthew Goode (Watchmen, A Single Man) in the romantic comedy Leap Year.

Adams stars as Anna, a bright young woman who decides to take matters into her own hands when her long-time boyfriend (played by Adam Scott) fails to pop the question in a timely manner. Following him to Dublin, Anna is determined to ask him to marry her. There's apparently an old Irish tradition that states women are allowed to propose to men on leap day, and that's what Anna is ready to do. Unfortunately, her travel plans get totally screwed up and she's forced into asking a bar owner/cab driver (Goode) who's hard up for money »

Dread Central's Best & Worst of 2009

17 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

2009. It was pretty much as crappy a year for horror movies as it was for the economy. There were, however, some really high points to help balance out all the drivel that was put out there in theatres as well as on home video, and they are to be celebrated, even though technically a couple of them are not even from this year.

Pull up your chair, sit back, and strap yourself in for a look back at the dos, the don'ts, and of course the "Doh!"s of this past year.

Dig on our Best of and Worst of lists for 2009 by following the links below!

[Matt Fini]

[Uncle Creepy]

Andrew Kasch's Picks

District 9 - Neill Blomkamp’s sci-fi/action/horror hybrid delivered the kind of hardcore testosterone roller coaster ride we hadn’t seen since the glory days of John McTiernan. With story and special FX superior to that of »

Bazmann’s Top Ten Movies of 2009

20 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

I wasn’t going to post a top ten. Everyone does it, and i didn’t necessarily feel there’d be a whole lot of interest in mine. Also, as far as movie years go, it’s been a pretty poor one, so i struggled to name ten movies that i really liked enough to put on a list. I’ve enjoyed reading other lists over the last few weeks so much however, that i changed my mind. And here’s the list.

To qualify, a movie had to open, in the UK, in 2009. This means that movies like The Road and Up In The Air aren’t eligible, as we don’t get them ’til January. Also, i have to point out that i haven’t seen Up, Inglourious Basterds, and maybe one or two others that may have otherwise had a shot at this list. And i think »

PBar’s Top 15 of 2009

2 January 2010 5:17 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

It’s that time of year. The lists come out, people check to see if their favorite films are on the list, then complain when they’re left off. Moaning also comes when one film is placed too low or too high, and the writer is told he knows nothing of cinema. As should be the preface when reading any review, this is just an opinion and should be treated as such. Unless you didn’t like Avatar. Then you need to have your cinema-going privileges revoked. Kidding…or not?

But back to 2009, which here ranked as one of the better years in film for the decade. From my own personal standpoint, I consider this list to be a nice mix of mainstream and independent film, but that’s up to you, the reader to decide. You can tell me how wrong and stupid I am after I present the »

Director's Cut: Patrick's top 10 for 2010

1 January 2010 1:34 PM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

In the days of Coming Attractions 1.0, at the end of every year I would write a list of what, at that time, were the movies that I was most looking forward to seeing in the coming 12 months. These upcoming top 10 lists reflected the excitement and interest level I had at the end of December. As I entered the new year and new trailers, images and news trickled out about the films that landed on my list, some fell down and off the chart while other new ones emerged and replaced the fallen. Keep that in mind as you read what movies I'm the most excited to see in 2010 because the promise of a movie's greatly conceived of marketing campaign can often fall short of the final product. Which ones from the following list will remain on my best of 2010 list and which movies will crash and burn on the bonfire of hype? »

'Basterds' Leads Online Film Critics Society Nominees

1 January 2010 9:59 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

One more round of nominations have been released, this time from the Online Film Critics Society. I am surprised that Avatar is not in the group's Best Picture finalists, simply because online critics tend to be a little younger and a little more into sci-fi and fantasy as genres and more into new technology, as well. In fact, even though the Ofcs makes a lot of picks more independent-minded moviegoers would celebrate (Mélanie Laurent for Inglourious Basterds, In the Loop), it still seems strange that Avatar could only manage three nominations total.

There are also some selections from earlier in the year that you could argue didn't get their due late in the year. Particularly, I'm thinking of Jackie Earle Haley from Watchmen. He was actually terrific in the film, but this is the first time I've seen his name come up in awards consideration. Joaquin Phoenix is also singled »
