Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader Photos
27 November 2009 5:10 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Its been a while since we have heard much about the world of Narnia. Studio executives screwing with the script, studios buying and selling the property. Nothing much exciting and or positive has hit the feeds until now. We have three new photos from Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader for your Black Friday enjoyment. While nothing ground break or even stunning, they are what they are. First photos from the upcoming Narnia film.
Seen in the below photos are Ben Barnes as King Caspian and Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie. Also Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie on the Dawn Treader as well. And if you can’t figure out that is the helm of the ship, well I will leave you to your own business.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is being directed by British filmmaker Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough, Amazing Grace) and »

Glee S1 E10 Ballad
26 November 2009 4:10 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
We come upon our Gleesters this week in the rehearsal room with Schuester writing the word “Ballad” in green over a dry erase board. He explains that ballads are stories set to music, which makes them the perfect storm of self-expression to communicate feelings people can’t get out any other way. There is apparently a new rule stating each group must perform a ballad for sectionals – do they come up with a new rule each week? — so Will decides to pair the group off and have them practice singing ballads to each other to make them feel their emotions.
Finn gets paired with Kurt and Rachel gets paired with Mr. Schuester. Artie asks Schue to clarify what sorts of songs they will be singing and Rachel jumps in to demonstrate, proclaiming that ‘Endless Love’ is her favorite duet. Will says it’s inappropriate but the kids egg him on. »

Glee S1 E9 Wheels
26 November 2009 4:08 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Schuester comes into the rehearsal room with two items on his proverbial “list”. One: their new song is going to be something more appealing to the judges, something they know. Apparently that’s Broadway’s Wicked. Two: the school won’t pay for the special bus to take Artie and his wheelchair with them to sectionals. The group agrees that is unfair. Schue says that when he was in glee club they would put on a bake sale to raise money for important things that they needed, like silk cummerbunds.
Finn lets Schue know that kids are busier than when he went there, what with the “homework, football , teen pregnancy… lunch.” All the kids say it would be unfair and Artie says he understands; anything that takes away from rehearsing doesn’t really serve the team. Will crosses his arms and is disappointed. He apologizes to Artie but he again »

The Road Movie Review
25 November 2009 2:59 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
After No Country for Old Men, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a film based on a Cormac McCarthy book. I enjoyed No Country, for the most part, but like a lot of people, I felt somewhat alienated by the ending. I’ve always been a fan of stories where the character(s) are forced to survive by their own wits in a disastrous situation, such as being stranded on a desert island or lost in the mountains. The Road is about the Earth slowly becoming uninhabitable as a result of a meteor.
The Road, however, is a bit more straightforward. Viggo Mortensen is the lead character, a nameless father, who leads his son towards a warm, southern refuge that may or may not exist. Everywhere they go carries the possibility of running into roving gangs of cannibals. There is absolutely no food to be found »

Katherine Brooks Taking on a ‘Freak’
24 November 2009 3:55 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
It’s been seven years since the release of Seabiscuit, and apparently that’s plenty of time for Hollywood to reenter the world of horse racing.
The autobiography of jockey Julie Krone, the most successful female jockey in racing history, has been adapted into a screenplay entitled Freak.
Katherine Brooks has signed on to direct the film, saying that Krone’s personal triumphs are what drew her to the film more than her racing accomplishments.
The story of the only woman to ever win a Triple Crown race and be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, as well as having stacked up nearly four thousand wins and over $90 million in earnings to her name, Krone’s is definitely deserving of some screen time.
Freak will be filmed in New York and Michigan, with Gravity Films principal Sophie Watts producing alongside Brooks, and John Manulis serving as executive producer. »

'Hangover'? 'Nine'? What Films Should be Nominated for Golden Globes Comedy/Musical?
24 November 2009 2:13 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Photo: Warner Bros. [poll id = "69"] Okay, so when other sites started passing around the above advertisement Warner Bros. put together to beg for a Golden Globe nomination for The Hangover in the category of best comedy or musical I didn't think much of it. I mean, there isn't a news story there, but then Sasha over at Awards Daily suggested a list of possible contenders to go along with The Hangover and it got me to thinking... Could we actually look at the Golden Globes and think of them as important as opposed to just a fun night of watching celebrities get drunk and pat themselves on the back?
Personally, the Globes are a lot of fun to watch, but I've never thought they meant all that much, even though each year I use the Globe results to help us predict the Oscars (last year's update). But the idea of discussing the »

Has anyone really decided what this film is called yet? It's on IMDb under The Boat that Rocked, Fandango has it as Pirate Radio, the theatre that I went to see it at displayed a poster with The Boat that Rocked, I'm confused. And so, must have been director Richard Curtis, since it became apparent during the showing that he didn't really know what he wanted to say. The most representative advertising the film did, was to say, ‘from the people who brought you Love Actually.' They both had charming and funny moments, but they both wandered around, never really sure of where they are supposed to be headed.

Bill Nighy: 'I am not suddenly the greatest actor in the world'
19 November 2009 3:54 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The star of Stephen Poliakoff's forthcoming Glorious 39 on his neuroses, playing educated toffs and why he digs David Hare
"A machiavellian dandy . . . Pure coldheartedness . . . Fabulously insincere." As I read out reviews of an old Bill Nighy performance, the actor grimaces and drums his knuckles on the table. "If ever a face was made for villainy, it's Bill Nighy's," I continue. "Wow," he murmurs. "Nighy's decadently long jaw and narrow, sneaky eyes serve him well . . ." He snorts, amused. "Sneaky eyes! Long decadent jaw! My God. I didn't know I had a decadent jaw."
Perhaps it is how Glorious 39 unfolds around him that makes you never quite trust Nighy as Alexander Keyes, a devoted father and aristocratic Conservative MP in Stephen Poliakoff's sumptuous new thriller about appeasement, set on the eve of the second world war. But perhaps Nighy has a singular talent for projecting unreliability into charming characters. »

Supernatural S5 E9 The Real Ghost Busters
18 November 2009 5:37 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
The most self-indulgent episode to date embodies what Chuck says in the end of the episode: “ it’s not really jumping the shark if you never come back down.” So I guess we’ll just have to keep the faith that Kripe will get us back to the apocalypse soon.
The show begins with Sam and Dean rushing off to battle a new monster of the week due to a text from Chuck. They pull sharply into a parking lot next to several other black impalas, which they greet with a slight shrug as they continue to rush to the scene. Breathless they find Chuck nervously talking to himself. But it turns out it wasn’t him that made the call, it was the fan girl Becky. The scene they are rushing to is the first annual Supernatural convention.
Becky convinces Sam and Dean to come in and look around. »

Classic Ten - Radio DJs in the Movies

With all due respect to Philip Seymour Hoffman's expat DJ in Pirate Radio, loads of actors have proven their fast-talking mettle by manning the booth on-screen. Read on for some of the most memorable disc jockeys in movie history. Video may have killed the radio star, but cinema is clearly doing its part to keep them alive. 10.

Explosive Opening For “2012”
17 November 2009 2:43 PM, PST | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
Defying numerous predictions of doom for the $225-million movie, 2012 raked in more than it cost in its opening weekend -- $230.4 million worldwide, of which $65.2 million was earned in the U.S. and Canada, according to final studio figures released Monday. But perhaps even more startling was the performance of the indie film Precious, which came in at No. 3 with $5.9 million, despite playing at only 174 theaters. That amounted to $33,762 per theater, compared with $19,165 per theater for 2012. Another pleasant augury of Christmas-yet-to-come: Disney's A Christmas Carol failed to give up the ghost in its second weekend as some analysts had predicted, dropping just 25.8 percent to $22.3 million. However, Pirate Radio, the only other film besides 2012 to open wide over the weekend, was forced to walk the plank, as it took in just $2.9 million, to finish out of the top ten, in 11th place. Two films crossed the $100 million mark, Couples Retreat, which has now grossed $102.05 million, and Paranormal Activity, which has taken in $103.69 million. »

[Movie Review] Pirate Radio
16 November 2009 11:21 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The end credits for Pirate Radio is a collage of all the rock albums released between the time period the movie takes place in (1966) and present day. It starts off well, with the likes of Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, then comes the headscratchers like Eminem and Kylie Minogue. What bothered me about it is not the incorrect genre identification, but the not-so-subtle implication that they all belong in the same category, and that is a new generation of music that supplants the old dogs establishment of classical music.
This is no more evident than in the film’s villain, a checklist caricature of a bureaucrat played by Kenneth Branagh, who’s so unbelievably square that he keeps his Christmas dinner a silent affair, doesn’t understand how jokes work, and says desperately uncool things like, “That’s the point of being the government.
