The Notable Films of 2010: Part Three
17 December 2009 11:42 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: July 23rd 2010
Cast: Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, Bruce Greenwood, David Walliams
Director: Jay Roach
Summary: A renowned publisher encourages his friends to invite the most pathetic guests possible for their weekly dinner party. Just as they find the most pathetic man yet, the host is injured and ends up trapped with the man all night long.
Analysis: A remake of director Francis Veber's 1998 César award-winning "Le Diner des cons", 'Schmucks' is one of the highest profile comedies of next year with one of the strongest casts for the genre in recent memory. It also marks the return of "Austin Powers" and "Meet the Parents" helmer Jay Roach who has produced several films in recent years but hasn't directed since 2004's "Meet the Fockers".
The question now lies not in the performers or director but the material itself and whether a Gallic comedy can »

Paul Greengrass Quits Bourne 4
30 November 2009 1:47 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I feel bad for Doug Liman. Sure, he directed The Bourne Identity, which set the general tone for the two following movies and reinvented Matt Damon as a quiet badass, but everyone knows the true genius behind the series is Paul Greengrass. Let.s look at the evidence: One of Doug Liman.s follow-up to his Bourne movie was Jumper, one of Greengrass. was United 93. You tell me who has the talent. And if there is any justification to make a fourth Bourne flick, it would have to be that Matt Damon and Greengrass are both involved. Well, it looks like that won.t be the case any longer. According to The Playlist, Greengrass has walked away from the fourth Bourne flick due to ongoing disagreements regarding the script and Universal.s increasing concerns over his budget management skills. Problems first arose when Universal hired Josh Zetumer without Greengrass »

Goyer Wants Magneto On The Back Burner
10 November 2009 3:56 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I could write an essay on everything that was wrong with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. As a comic book film, it ranks somewhere between the never-meant-to-be-released Fantastic Four movie from 1994 and the straight-to-video Captain America movie from 1990. There was simply nothing there to enjoy. That opinion solidified, the entire time the Wolverine origin was being punted around, a Magneto back story was also in the works, but it now seems that it will be a few more years before we can facepalm while attending another X-Men related disaster. In an interview with MTV, writer David Goyer (who ranges from Batman Begins to Jumper) has backed recent statements by producer Lauren Shuler Donner, saying that Fox is a bit confused where to go with the franchise, and that the project should be placed on the back burner. Goyer also seemed to give the impression that he no longer cares much about the »
Exclusive: Test screening review of Fair Game
27 October 2009 1:16 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Thanks to our longtime friend Adam54 of Coming Attractions' message forums, we've landed an exclusive in the form of an early review for Fair Game, the upcoming thriller-drama starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts. The actors play Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame, the married couple who were at the centerstorm of a Washington, D.C. scandal over Plame's outing as an undercover CIA operative by Washington Post journalist Robert Novak. The scandal, known in the press as "Plamegate", destroyed her career and rocked the White House as accusations were leveled against the Bush administration and its allies. Ambassador Wilson made the charge that the Bush administration had knowingly leaked his wife's covert status as a direct response for his public statements that the administration played up or outright lied that Iraq had uranium in its possession to make nuclear bombs. While Bush used the uranium scare to build his case »

10 Most Overrated Young Actors
13 October 2009 7:18 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
We've listed down our top 50 hottest young actors and would be coming up with the latest updates very soon. Yesterday, we discussed about actors we believed to be quite underrated. How about the young actors we consider overrated? That's what this article is for...
- - -
- - -
Who qualifies as overrated? Guys who seem to be getting lots of buzz, but has no real talent at all, or perhaps just a small amount of it. I have no issue if an actor gets the cover of GQ or Details or L'Uomo Vogue every month. They can even strut their stuff on the catwalks of Milan and Paris and gain additional media mileage. But to be considered the hottest actor on the planet with nothing to show yet? That is something totally absurd.
Anyway, here's our list of ten just after the jump!

10 Most Underrated Young Actors
12 October 2009 7:54 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Cinema is filled with multi-talented young actors who bring to life all types of characters. Sometimes, a role is given to the wrong guy - just because he has the looks (pin-up pretty, looks awesome wearing trunks) and the connection (a powerful talent agent at his side). But when the role is given to the right guy - moviegoers get to witness something unique, memorable and powerful, even magical. Anyway, even the 'right guy' needs an agent, of course...
- - -
- - - Underrated versus Overrated: If you've watched Jumper, then you'll notice the difference between Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen - Bell has undeniable screen presence, I can't say the same with Hayden. It could have been different if Tom Sturridge was retained to play Hayden's part. Anyway, who am I to argue? Christensen has more box office appeal than the relatively unknown Sturridge, but acting-wise?

Updates: Top 50 Hottest Young Actors- The Advent of Tom Sturridge
7 October 2009 8:25 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Michael Martin's profile of Tom Sturridge is a perfect introduction to the young British actor:
It's been a few years since Sturridge got his break playing the son of Annette Bening's character in 2004's Being Julia. But he didn't mind the hiatus. "I want to do good stuff, which basically means waiting a bit," he says. Of course it's all timing: "If we did this interview next week, I'd say, ‘Listen, motherfucker, I'm playing Batman tomorrow!' - - -
- - - I've seen him in almost all his movies. While it took me about two sittings to totally absorb 'Like Minds', his portrayal of the mysterious Nigel Colbie, remained hyptonic and consistent throughout the movie. I find the casting of Tom and Eddie Redmayne to be just perfect. I was hoping to see Jamie Bell and Tom in Jumper, and anticipate another great team up, »

Bilson: 'There Was No Secret Wedding'
10 September 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hollywood actress Rachel Bilson has denied she wed her fiance Hayden Christensen in a secret ceremony over the weekend (05-06Sep09).
The couple, who met on the set of 2006 movie Jumper, became engaged in December and speculation is rife over when they will tie the knot.
Bilson sparked reports she had already exchanged vows with Christensen after she was spotted at a New York City fashion event sporting two gold bands around her engagement ring.
But a rep for Bilson insists the couple is still waiting to walk down the aisle, telling celebrity blogger Just Jared, "They were not married over the weekend. As you know she is known for her fashion forward style. She decided to accessorise the ultimate accessory." »
Producer Arrested for Felony Assault
2 September 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Producer Tove Christensen (The Education of Charlie Banks), who is the brothers of actor Hayden Christensen (Awake, Jumper), has been arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon. TMZ is reporting that the 36-year-old Tove was arrested early on Wednesday morning after reportedly dragging his girlfriend 30 feet as she clung to the side of his car after a heated argument. Witnesses allege Tove was behind the wheel when the unidentified woman reached into the vehicle to grab her purse, and Tove hit the accelerator. The woman reportedly suffered visible marks on her arm but did not sustain serious injuries. Tove, who was arrested at his Los Angeles home, is being held on $30,000 bail. »
Rachel Bilson is this week's guest judge on 'Project Runway'
1 September 2009 3:19 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Earlier this year, the folks at Project Runway promised EW that the move to L.A. would mean lots of celebrity guest judges. They've made good on that promise so far, and now we can add one more to the pack. Rachel Bilson, she of the formerly zeitgeisty show The O.C., will be pulling up a chair next to Nina Garcia in this Thursday's episode. Judging by the sneak-peek photo, the petite actress loves ruffles even more than Annie Barrett and I do. (Which is saying something, believe me.) She also apparently has a penchant for busy, elegant legwear (that Mandi Bierly would like to own). Best of all, the picture proves that Bilson will be smiling 100 percent more often than this season's first visiting critic, Lindsay Lohan, who pretty much sat in her chair scowling the whole time. That comeback tour of goodwill is working out great, Lindsay. What might this week's challenge be? »
