Review of Marc Roussel's award winning short Remote
15 October 2009 12:52 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Year: 2009
Directors: Marc Roussel
Writers: Marc Roussel
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: agentorange
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
[Editor's note: As I was putting the finishing touches on this review, director Marc Roussel emailed to say his short had just picked up "best short" at Thrillspy Film Festival in Washington, D.C.. Congrats Marc!]
Watching short films is always an odd experience. Maybe it's because of the restrictions on length, or maybe it's just that filmmakers inherently know that cranking out a short film is something they Have to do to break into the biz, but more often than not I find they lack focus and leave me with an overall feeling of dissatisfaction. Of course, there are also rare occasions when a short film can have it all. The brilliant work of Rodrigo Gudiño ("The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow") comes to mind, and now Marc Roussel's bite-sized, supernatural thriller Remote joins the ranks of the small category.
Why is it so good? Because Roussel was smart enough to focus on the writing. The story of Remote is tight. It takes a high »
Cam Gigandet Admits to 'Tough, Dark And Dirty' Shoot On Psychological Thriller 'The Experiment'
8 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Over the years, we’ve seen our share of good American remakes of foreign films (“The Ring,” “Insomnia”) as well as some not-so-good ones (“The Eye,” “Dark Water,” “The Lake House”) that left a bad taste in our mouths. Recently, Cam Gigandet wrapped up his work on another high-profile translation to our shores, this time of “The Experiment,” and he promised us it will fall into that earlier category.
“I just finished a movie in Iowa called ‘The Experiment’ with Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker,” the “Twilight” star said of the remake, which also stars Maggie Grace and Clifton Collins Jr. “We shot that in Iowa, in Des Moines, and that was a blast.”
Although it’s based on the acclaimed 2001 mind-bending German movie “Das Experiment,” the film is coming home in a morbid way. “Experiment” dramatizes the tale of a 1971 series of tests conducted on 24 undergraduates in the basement »

Keanu Reeves Makes Time for 'Henry's Crime'
1 September 2009 2:26 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Romantic comedy "Henry's Crime" will be another feature film getting on Keanu Reeves' sleeves. While he is still attached to upcoming projects, "Jekyll" and "Cowboy Bebop", the Klaatu of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" has been brought aboard the project as leading actor and producer.
Taking the role of a bighearted man who is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo, Reeves is expected to join the principal photography when the production is kicked off in November in Buffalo. This will be his first comedy movie after starring alongside Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in 2003's "Something's Gotta Give".
The 44-year-old actor will produce the movie along with Lemore Syvan and his Company Films' partner Stephen Hamel. The feature project is set to be the first picture in production under the banner the lead actor of "The Lake House" runs with Hamel.

Keanu Reeves to Solve Henry.s Crime
1 September 2009 1:03 AM, PDT | www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news »
Just when I thought Keanu Reeves had developed a new fondness for the crime genre, I'm told that Henry's Crime is instead a romantic comedy. He will not only star but also produce.
Keanu Reeves for Henry's Crime
Henry's Crime will be the first project under Reeves' banner, Company Films, which he runs with Stephen Hamel. Written by Sacha Gervasi, the film is a Capra-esque romantic comedy in which Reeves will play a big-hearted man who is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo.
Reeves hasn't gotten in front of the camera for a comedy since 2003's Something's Gotta Give, and that turned out okay. The Lake House, on the other hand, is another story. »
Weekend Report: Humans Welcome 'District 9'
17 August 2009 12:44 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Many humans ventured into District 9 over the weekend, propelling the alien spectacle to an excellent $37.4 million start, while another science fiction-themed picture, The Time Traveler's Wife, had a solid debut. Though the weekend's other new movies disappointed, overall business was up 14 percent from the same weekend last year, when Tropic Thunder opened in first. Launching on approximately 4,000 screens at 3,049 sites, District 9's estimated opening attendance was slightly less than Cloverfield and slightly more than Starship Troopers among past comparable movies. The picture was sold not only as a sci-fi action horror with striking visuals but also as a dramatic mystery, taking a different approach than recent, more disaster-oriented alien invasion movies with a plotline concerning a segregated alien race. One way the marketing helped the picture stand out was through posters done up as signs from the world of the movie, marking bus stops and other areas as »

Weekend Box Office: 'District 9' Rides Buzz to $37 Million
17 August 2009 9:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Sometimes you need neither big-name actors nor a ginormous budget -- just a cool high concept and some nifty advertising that knows how to get the pitch across. The sci-fi-action-allegory District 9 knocked G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra off its short-lived perch with a $37 million weekend. Word-of-mouth appears to be strong, so this one has a chance to make something of itself in a market that will grow less crowded over the next few weeks. G.I. Joe fell just under 60%, which was as expected; it's roughly at $100 million after two weeks.
The weekend's other high-profile newcomer was The Time Traveler's Wife, which grossed $19 million, beating out the last time-traveling romance to hit theaters, the Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock weepie The Lake House. (That one opened to $13 million but held up well thereafter). Then there were a few relative dumps: Jeremy Piven's The Goods: Live Hard, Sell »

Review: The Time Traveler's Wife
14 August 2009 10:32 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
It's actually kind of amazing how often the time-travel subgenre marries to romance stories. Longing to return to a simpler past or hoping for a brighter future are staples in any love affair, especially tragic ones. (Not to mention the similarity between a clock's ticking and a human heartbeat.) Just look at Somewhere in Time (1980), Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), The Love Letter (1998), Happy Accidents (2000), Kate & Leopold (2001) and The Lake House (2006) for a few interesting examples. What I don't understand is the very soft, goopy tone that most of these movies automatically adopt, with the exception of Brad Anderson's dark, tense Happy Accidents and James Mangold's standard-issue romcom Kate & Leopold.
Consider the new film The Time Traveler's Wife. It comes complete with a screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin, who won an Oscar for his hugely successful sci-fi romance Ghost (1990) as well as writing very twisty sci-fi stories like Jacob's Ladder. »

Review: The Time Traveler's Wife a Silly, Sappy Romance—but Maybe You're Into That
13 August 2009 12:43 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Review in a Hurry: This silly romance about a hunky time traveler (Eric Bana) and the woman who loves and waits for him (Rachel McAdams) might placate those jonesing for the next Nicholas Sparks-esque sapathon. But others will wanna be transported to another theater. The Bigger Picture: Oh, the ways cruel Fate conspires to keep preternaturally pretty lovers apart—whether it's a curse (Ladyhawke), death (Ghost), a genetic anomaly (Benjamin Button) or a time warp (The Lake House). This adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's best-seller combines all of the above (except for the curse—that's on the audience) into a confounding, unsatisfying narrative that jumps around as much as its star-crossed... »
EW U: Let's do the time warp again!
10 August 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Welcome to the first class of Jeff "Doc" Jensen's EW University course on time travel as a time-honored sci-fi trope. Coming up this week: additional posts that take a look at memorable movies and TV shows where this favorite conceit plays a starring role, plus a trivia quiz "final exam" and a gallery of our favorite time travelers. As you may have noticed from a summer filled with starcruisers, giant robots, and adamantium-boned mutants, the genre commonly (if imprecisely) called science-fiction is big business, invading and filling the culture's escapist landscape like tribbles, replicants, bunches of alien-hatching pods -- you get the idea. This week's EW University course is devoted to one of the most popular sci-fi tropes: time travel. And there's been a lot if it lately. One of the year's biggest films, Jj Abrams' Star Trek, hinges on a time-travel plot twist. The forthcoming The Time Traveler's Wife »

The stars of 'Julie & Julia' get cooking
7 August 2009 12:28 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Love in romance movies like “The Time Traveler” and “The Lake House” flourish despite space and time, but this week brings a film that examines romance of a different kind, that still achieves the same transcendence: the love of food.“Julie & Julia” sets culinary icon Julia Child (Meryl Streep) againstJulia Powell (Amy Adams), a writer and drag-ass cubicle dweller whostruggles with self-expression and her own skin as she approaches the age of 30. Child becomes Powell’s real and imaginary muse as the latter cooks her way through the legendarily hefty recipe volume“Mastering The Art Of French Cooking” in a year."I was doing an idealized version of... »

Make-Believe Makeover: Keanu Reeves
2 July 2009 | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
This is how they're letting Keanu Reeves roam the streets of Paris these days. Laissez-faire or just plain lazy? We're baffled. Last time we checked, the actor was, you know, all handsome and oddly compelling—please, don't say you didn't love him in The Lake House because we saw the four weepy stars you gave it on Netflix—but this hairy, boot-wearing style just doesn't do it for us. How about you? Give us your top suggestions for improving his look and we'll collect them, collate them and totally think about them (but it's not like we're going to send them on to his stylist or anything). This is serious, people. Act now! »

Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo
Shohreh Aghdashloo Casts No Stones
By
Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo made history as the first Middle Eastern woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, when she received a Best Supporting Actress nod for her work in House of Sand and Fog (2003), opposite Ben Kingsley. Born in Tehran in 1952 to an upper middle class family of intellectuals, Shohreh spent her youth performing with various avant-garde theater companies during the country’s period of social and artistic freedom under the rule of Iran’s Shah. Most prominent among these groups was the renowned Drama Workshop of Tehran. Based upon her work with the latter group, Shohreh was cast by the two leaders of Iran’s New Wave filmmakers—Abbas Kiarostami and Ali Hatami—to play starring roles in Gozaresh and Sute-Delan, two seminal films of the period, both released in 1977.
The following year, 1978, changed everything with »

Review: The Proposal Works, but Not Without a Hitch
19 June 2009 8:36 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Review in a Hurry: Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds get naked. Need any other reason to see this cinematic matrimony of The Devil Wears Prada and Meet the Parents? Sweet, silly Proposal practically gets on bended knee and begs you to engage, so you might as well say "I do." The Bigger Picture: If you like your rom-coms as traditional (i.e., predictable) as a generic white wedding, you'll wanna join the guest list for The Proposal, which takes every expected step in its walk down the aisle. But the two lovebirds are so appealing you can't help but get swept up in the joy of the event. After drowning in treacly dreck like The Lake House, Bullock is back in fine comedic form as Margaret Tate, an Anna... »
June 19: DVD alternatives to this weekend’s multiplex offerings
18 June 2009 12:40 PM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
We all know how it is. You'd like to get out to see a new movie this weekend, but the Old Testament stippled with fart jokes ain’t your idea of a good time. But you can have something close to that blockbuster experience at home with the proper application of DVDs. In fact, you might even be able to one-up everyone else at the watercooler come Monday, because while they're saying, "Hey, did you see Year One?" you can respond, "No, I saw a couple classic movies from the era when blasphemy was taken seriously." Instead Of: The Proposal, the “romantic” “comedy” in which “poisonous bitch” Sandra Bullock sexually harasses her secretary, Ryan Reynolds, into marrying her to avoid being deported... Watch: Green Card, obviously, the 1990 dramedy in which Andie MacDowell agrees to marry Gérard Depardieu so he can stay in New York. It’s unaffectedly charming, unlike The Proposal, »

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Next on the Remake/Reboot Chopping Block
26 May 2009 8:48 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
If the idea of remaking or reboot movies make you quiver with frustration, then you’re probably not a very big fan of Roy Lee and Doug Davison and their Vertigo Entertainment. These two guys, but in particular Roy Lee, have been nearly single-handedly responsible for all those by-the-numbers Asian horror movie remakes you’ve seen over the past decade or so. They haven’t stopped at remaking horror movies, either. Some of their past credits include remakes of “My Sassy Girl”, “Quarantine”, “The Lake House”, and “Possession”. Basically, if it’s a remake of an Asian title, check the credits, and you’ll usually find these guys’ names attached as producers. Their latest? A reboot of Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” on the big screen. You may or may not recall, but the Buffy TV series that you Whedon fans know and love actually started as a »

Directed by: Gavin Hood
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Lynn Collins, Will i Am, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch
Time: 2 hrs, 2 minutes
Rating: PG-13

Who’s It For?: X-Men is huge, so this will draw a crowd. But here’s the thing, if you’re fine with Spider-Man 3, or X-Men United … then you’ll see anything with super powers and be happy. But don’t go expecting more with this film.
Expectations: 20th Century Fox acted like the world came to an end when a leaked, almost finished copy of Wolverine hit the web. It won’t slow down box office sales, »
