Opening This Weekend: Spike Jonze Gets Wild, Gerard Butler Breaks the Law and Dan Humphrey Hits the Big Screen

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:42:15 -0400

If you’re apartment building is like ours—the December temperatures in October are a problem when the heat isn’t on yet—then you’re going to need someplace warm to hide this weekend. How about the movie theater? In addition to the further expansion of Paranormal Activity, five films hit screens today and, as usual, there is something for everyone. As we do every Friday, here’s a handy guide to the new releases.

Woo-Hoo! Hong Kong Auteur Sinks Titanic with Red Cliffs

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:50:12 -0400

Hong Kong action auteur John Woo has always made huge movies, but with his latest, the war epic Red Cliff, he managed to sink the Titanic. In 2008 it surpassed the James Cameron mega-hit, becoming the highest-grossing movie ever in China. Now, after a brief delay, it's coming to America.

Mr. Woo is best known stateside for Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II: movies that combine balletic, slow-motion...

!Hola!Will Almodovar Finally Make Movie in English?

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:26:10 -0400

The New York Film Festival began very softly but ended with the sizzle of director Pedro Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces on Sunday, Oct. 13.

The film follows the tangled love story of a writer and his muse, played by Penélope Cruz, in what Mr. Almodóvar called “a love declaration to the cinema.” In signature Almodóvar style, the complex plot channels decades of cinematic history, including his own Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

Subject: Sarsgaard! Sony Is Making Darn Sure You Get An Education

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:16:48 -0400

On the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 5, Sony hosted back-to-back screenings of the 2009 film-festival darling An Education at its 56th Street Tower, where anyone who looks out the wraparound windows feels like a power-hungry Rapunzel.

The earlier screening included Tovah Feldshuh, James Toback, Peter Riegert and Bob Balaban, with his writer wife, Lynn Grossman.

Producer James Stern introduced the film, which was directed by Dutchwoman Lone Scherfig, saying, “I’m like the...

Wild Thing, I Wish I Loved You

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:16:54 -0400

Where the Wild Things Are
Running time 100 minutes
Written by Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze
Directed by Spike Jonze
Starring Max Records, Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini, Lauren Ambrose, Paul Dano, Catherine O’Hara, Forest Whitaker, Chris Cooper

I’m the first to admit that I went into Where the Wild Things Are with perhaps too high expectations. I blame part of this on the most excellent trailer—remember that teaser, released back in March,...

A Melting Pot of Mush

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:55:36 -0400

New York, I Love You
Running time 110 minutes
Written by Emmanuel Benbihy (concept) and Tristan Carné (premise), and various others

Box Office Breakdown: Couples Retreat Cleans Up, Paranormal Activity Scares Everybody

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:03:46 -0400

Is it still a staycation if you go out? Audiences flocked to see the island paradise getaway Couples Retreat, presumably because no one can afford their own trip; the comedy was the top choice for moviegoers over Columbus Day weekend, grossing an estimated $35.3 million. Further down the chart, the bigger story occurred in fifth place. In just its second limited release weekend, the lo-fi horror film Paranormal Activity...

The Week in DVR: 30 Rock Returns! Plus, Early Coen Brothers, Vampires, Jennifer Aniston, and Very Cute Dogs

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:54:21 -0400

Monday: From Dusk Till Dawn
Now that vampires have taken over the pop culture universe, it might be time to revisit the glorious insanity that is From Dusk Till Dawn. Written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by his longtime friend Robert Rodriguez, the film splits nicely into two halves: the first deals with the Gecko brothers (George Clooney and, in a hilarious bit of miscasting, Mr. Tarantino himself) and their murderous...

Opening This Weekend: Vince Vaughn Goes Tropical, Carey Mulligan Gets Famous

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:44:56 -0400

Since you won’t get mail on Monday, Columbus Day actually does count as a real holiday! But not according to Hollywood, we guess: Instead of flooding the market with ample choices for moviegoers this weekend, only one film gets a nationwide release. That’s fine for us, though; perhaps it means all of you slackers who didn’t go see Whip It last weekend will correct that mistake. As we do every Friday, here’s...

Bizarre Late Night Love Triangle

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:49:03 -0400

You can’t be victimized by criminals, explained David Letterman on the Late Show Monday night. You have to push back.

Outside the fortified walls of the Ed Sullivan Theater, a full moon hung in the sky. Mr. Letterman must have been tired. For the past several weeks, not only had he been pushing back, he’d been putting his back into it, straining against an apparent outbreak of villainy. Along the way, he had...

The Gallery Is Fake, But the Paintings Are Real

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:00:16 -0400

Oct. 23 will see the release of (Untitled), a satire of the New York art world in the key of The Emperor’s New Clothes that asks what is art, what is hackery and why does it seem like no one in Chelsea wants to admit the distinction.

The film centers around a successful painter (Eion Bailey) whose decorative, abstract canvases hang from the walls of hotels and office buildings, and the ambitious Chelsea gallerist...

Mixed-Up Love

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:48:58 -0400

Peter and Vandy
Running time 95 minutes
Written and directed by Jay DiPietro
Starring Jason Ritter, Jess Weixler

Peter and Vandy is another low-budget two-hander that explores the ups and downs of a modern relationship using jump cuts, nonlinear plot mechanics and elliptical storytelling techniques that only succeed in keeping the couple in the title removed, at an annoying distance, from audience interest. Set in a wintry Greenwich Village where people are seen dragging...

Riding in Cars With Boys

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:40:29 -0400

Trucker
Running time 90 minutes
Written and Directed by James Mottern
Starring Michelle Monaghan, Benjamin Bratt, Jimmy Bennett, Joey Lauren Adams

In an honestly observed and understated little film called Trucker, an excellent cast vibrates with authenticity to tell an impassioned story about the uncharted lives of discarded people denied the crumbs of hope the rest of us live on. Michelle Monaghan, who has made an impact as tough broads in gritty films like North...

An English Rose in Bloom

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:35:32 -0400

An Education
Running time 100 minutes
Written by Nick Hornby
Directed by Lone Scherfig
Starring Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Cara Seymour, Rosamund Pike, Dominic Cooper, Emma Thompson

Riding in on waves of raves from film festivals around the world, the exquisitely made British coming-of-age film An Education features, as its centerpiece, a career-breakthrough performance by newcomer Carey Mulligan reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn’s in Roman Holiday. Captivatingly written, directed and acted with sensitivity and...

Box Office Breakdown: Welcome to Zombieland

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:07:48 -0400

Who knew killing zombies was such a lucrative business? Zombieland squished the competition at the box office this weekend, placing first with an estimated $25 million. That gives the horror-zombie-comedy hybrid the second highest opening for a zombie-related film, behind only Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake. Elsewhere on the charts, it was mostly disappointment: Ricky Gervais proved he still isn’t an American movie star, as

The Week in DVR: Dave Letterman's Show Must Go On! Plus, Woody Allen, Paul Rudd, Tim Daly, and Patrick Swayze (RIP)

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:20:07 -0400

Monday: The Late Show With David Letterman

All eyes will be on the big guy tonight, the first show since Dave Letterman’s announcement last Thursday sent the world into a weird whipped up frenzy (Friday night’s show, with Larry David, was taped before the scandal broke). Call us crazy, but as far as what Mr. Letterman does in his private life, who cares? We’re actually more impressed at how badass he...

Opening This Weekend: Zombies! Roller Derbies! Ricky Gervais! Plus, The Coen Brothers Get Serious

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:20:46 -0400

How do we know fall is officially here? Because not only are the temperatures dropping—we needed to pull out shirts with long sleeves this week, people!—but the movies are finally getting good. Four potential gems hit theaters today, and as usual, there is something for everyone. As we do every Friday, here’s a handy guide to the new releases.

Whip It Good: Welcome Back Alia Shawkat!

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:51:59 -0400

With the Arrested Development movie firmly ensconced as the Sasquatch of film projects, forever-taunting fans with glimpses and false positives—get excited: apparently the script is being worked on right this second!—thank goodness for small favors like Whip It. Drew Barrymore’s sunny grrlpower romp, which easily qualifies as one of the best movies we’ve seen in nearly two months, might feature Ellen Page, Drew Barrymore, Kristin Wiig, Ari Graynor and a host...

What to See at the New York Film Festival

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:46:21 -0400

Since 1963, the New York Film Festival has remained a quaintly stubborn institution tucked away in (now fully renovated!) Alice Tully Hall. Its mission from the very beginning, in the oft-sighed-over days when Richard Roud ran the show, was simple: screen roughly 25 features handpicked by a distinguished panel. Let’s be clear, these people do not give a hoot about Megan Fox, glitz or tabloid glamour; nor do they—unlike other festivals—award prizes. Getting in...

Oy Vay! Coens Lose Moral Center in A Serious Man

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:07:22 -0400

A Serious Man
Running time 105 minutes
Written and Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen
Starring Michael Stuhlbarg

Growing up going to Hebrew school every day and synagogue every Saturday may not be a prerequisite to overcome the bleak confusion of A Serious Man, but my guess is that it sure would help. This is the new one from the quirky Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel, who shift from comedy to drama with uneven results,...

The New York Film Festival Opens Quietly at Alice Tully with Alain Resnais' Wild Grass

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:44:05 -0400

"It's like prom night didn't happen this year," said documentarian Aviva Kempner (Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg) on Friday, September 25, standing in the lobby of Alice Tully Hall, where the New York Film Festival was celebrating its opening night. She was disappointed at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's decision to move the party from its traditional home at beleaguered restaurant Tavern on the Green.

Psychologist Eva Fogelman agreed, disapproving of "the level of...

The Week in DVR: Peter Berg's Trauma Premieres and Sam Rockwell's Genius (and Other Things) are on Display in Choke

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:40:47 -0400

Monday: Trauma
Not to be confused with Mercy, here comes Trauma. This new NBC series—which has the snazziest ad campaign of the fall (non-Man Men edition)—eschews whiny nurses for tough-as-nails EMT workers and hopes to give action junkies a boost of adrenaline. Of course, that all sounds perfectly generic, but remember: Peter Berg is an executive producer, and, in addition to shepherding Friday Night Lights,...

Box Office Breakdown: Cloudy Continues to Shine, Bruce Willis Does Not

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:58:53 -0400

The sun is still shining on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! For a second straight week the animated film dominated what was a sluggish session at the multiplex, grossing an estimated $24.6 million and setting itself up as one of the sleeper hits of the fall (not to mention giving us the opportunity to make more weather related puns). Storm clouds did, however, circle around the latest batch of new...

Opening This Weekend: Thank Goodness September is Over!

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:06:05 -0400

The final weekend of September is upon and dare we say: not a moment too soon. Once October hits, real movies will start opening, but in the meantime we’re left with the rest of these September dregs. As we do every Friday, here’s a handy guide to the new releases.

Clive's Big Night: Celebrates The Boys are Back at Sticky Supper Club

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:10:26 -0400

It's hard to imagine Clive Owen, Emeril Lagasse, and The RZA together in anything but a pop-culture fever dream. But there they were on an unseasonably sticky Wednesday night at the Bon Appetit Supper Club, celebrating the New York premiere of Mr. Owen's new movie The Boys are Back. The dinner—featuring Mr. Lagasse's wild mushroom lasagne and an herb-crusted rack of lamb—followed a packed screening at Cinema 2 on ...

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men: The John Krasinski Show

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:15:25 -0400

Despite having the most appropriate title of the fall—indeed the interviews are brief, the men hideous—Brief Interviews with Hideous Men will not be remembered all that fondly. Even at 80 minutes, the film feels too long by twenty, and never actually reaches a conclusive point beyond that all men are created equally awful. Even during its best moments—most of which occur in the early going—Hideous Men is ugly and...

But Will it Play in Peoria? Esky Nervously Fetes Moore's Anti-Capitalism Doc at Ultimate Bachelor Pad

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:12:20 -0400

“They promised me I would mellow as I got older, and it didn’t happen,” a graying Michael Moore bellowed before the New York premiere of his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, at Alice Tully Hall on Monday, Sept. 21. The screening, a pre–New York Film Festival event put on by Esquire and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, drew noted capitalists like chef Mario Batali and editor Tina Brown despite its radical premise:...

Clive Finally Picks a Good Flick

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:05:57 -0400

The Boys Are Back
Running time 104 minutes
Written by Allan Cubitt
Directed by Scott Hicks
Starring Clive Owen, Laura Fraser, Nicholas McAnulty, George MacKay

Clive Owen has either a bad agent or a bad eye. Considering his talent and charisma, it’s amazing how many really terrible movies he makes. (The male Julianne Moore?) Submerged in a predictable rash of indistinguishable action flicks and violent crypto thrillers, his career has hit so many...

I Just Don't Care About The Other Man

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:01:55 -0400

The Other Man
Running time 90 minutes
Written and directed by Richard Eyre
Starring Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Antonio Banderas, Romola Garai

Despite the gimlet eye of Richard Eyre, former director of England’s Royal National Theatre, and the top-echelon talents of an impressive cast, a dreary, disabled disaster called The Other Man drops dead at the starting gate. It’s been around for a few years, and the dust shows. Dissecting a case of unhealthy...

Patricia, I Love You, but This Film's a Downer

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:58:22 -0400

Blind Date
Running time 80 minutes
Written by David Schechter and Stanley Tucci
Directed by Stanley Tucci
Starring Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci

One of the more fascinating and discerning actresses in the current cinema, New Orleans’ own Patricia Clarkson is always worth watching. Even when she’s wasted in small, inconsequential roles in Woody Allen movies, she stands out. Making every minute count is one of her particular skills, and that knack is doubly...

Box Office Breakdown: Meatballs Anything But Cloudy, Jennifer's Body Goes to the Morgue

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:59:03 -0400

It was all sunshine and rainbows for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs at the box office over the weekend. The 3-D animated jaunt topped the charts with an estimated $30.1 million, a number that nearly tripled second place finisher—and fellow newcomer—The Informant! Sadly, it was stormy weather for the other freshman entries: Love Happens landed in fourth place with $8.4 million, while Jennifer’s Body...

Is Monday night the new Thursday night? Tonight brings the season premiere of House, a new Gossip Girl, a two-hour Heroes (yep, that show is still on the air) and the launching of the CBS Monday night comedy block, which includes the series premiere of Jenna Elfman’s Accidentally on Purpose. Phew! Us? We’ll be watching Gossip...

Some Thoughts On Last Night's Emmy Awards

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 06:49:31 -0400

It’s been months since we’ve had a glitzy Hollywood-loves-itself-so-much awards show, and yet…it’s sort of hard to get worked up about the Emmys, isn’t it? We appreciated the hard work host Neil Patrick Harris was putting in up there – apparently it’s a law now that every awards show must start with a clever singing and dancing number -- but there was a moment…somewhere around 9:09 (and a note to future show...

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:15:19 -0400

Don’t be confused by what you see on Fandango: there are actually a bunch of movies possibly worth seeing this weekend. September starts to come out of the doldrums today with four films hitting theaters, and, as usual, there is something for everyone. As we do every Friday, here’s a handy guide to the new releases.

Three Fearless Predictions for Emmy Night!

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:06:08 -0400

It seems fitting that on Emmy night—a night that ostensibly is supposed to celebrate the greatness of television—there is plenty of great television available to divert your attention away from the glitz and glam of the award ceremony itself. Despite the presence of host Neil Patrick Harris—and who doesn’t love themselves some NPH!—the Emmy Awards are set to battle a new episode of Mad Men (which despite 16 nominations will not...

Plenty of Soup For You: Joel McHale Makes Community a Winner

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:57:44 -0400

It might only be the middle of September, but we still feel confident in calling Joel McHale the breakout star of the fall television season. The snarky host of The Soup is so perfectly on-point in Community—premiering tonight at 9:30 on NBC, before moving to 8:30 when 30 Rock returns on October 15—so comfortable and engaging, that it seems impossible to envision a scenario wherein he

Coco Bonjour! Movie About Chanel's Early Years Premieres, 'Nothing to Do About Fashion'

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:50:40 -0400

The director of Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) Anne Fontaine and its star Audrey Tautou wanted to set one thing straight before the film's premiere Tuesday night at the Paris Theatre: This movie is not haute couture.

"I really hope that you will enjoy it because it has nothing to do with fashion," Ms. Tatou rather sheepishly told the audience, which was well-stocked with members of...

The Kindest Keats? Campion Talks About Demure New Biopic, Starring Dreamy Whishaw

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:39:57 -0400

Ben Whishaw, the young British actor with a Romantic poet’s mop of tousled black hair, stood alone by the bar at the Plaza’s Oak Room during lunchtime at Tuesday, Sept. 15, wearing black Vans, black jeans and an untucked white dress shirt. Although slightly out of place among a crowd of carefully primped movie-industry types, Mr. Whishaw looks the part for his role as a love-struck John Keats in Jane Campion’s new biopic Bright...

Guiding Light, Snuffed: Scene From A Dying Daytime Drama

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:37:13 -0400

When CBS announced the cancellation of Guiding Light, the longest-running daytime drama, on April Fools’ Day, the cast and crew thought it was a bad joke. But on the last day of filming in August, after 57 years in the channel’s Manhattan studios on 57th Street, half of the show’s setting of “Springfield” (think: Anytown, USA—Anytown with a country club) was already dismantled. The skeletal planks of the Beacon Hotel, Cooper House and Courthouse...

Welcome Home, Mischa

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:06:30 -0400

Mischa Barton appeared from behind the blue door, labeled “M. Barton,” wearing a leather jacket covered in studs, a gray sweatshirt with the hood pulled over her freshly styled hair, leather boots (also covered in studs) and dark makeup around her eyes. This was last week, at Steinway studios in Astoria, Queens, where the actress was filming the CW’s The Beautiful Life: TBL, in which she plays Sonja Stone, a has-been, pill-popping fashion model...

HBO, The Writers' Network

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:00:29 -0400

Not long ago, in the spring of 2009, Colette Burson and Dmitry Lipkin, the husband-and-wife writing team, were running late on a crucial project. In a few short weeks, their half-hour series, Hung, would be premiering on HBO. At the time, they were busy cutting the all-important title sequence. On the morning it was due, the final product still needed more polishing. The deadline came and went.

It was around then that they...

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:06:35 -0400

At the 34th Toronto International Film Festival, everyone’s seeing orange. The lower-case “tiff,” the color of a pumpkin, blares from posters and billboards throughout the city as a symbol of festival director Piers Handling’s determination to simplify everything, including the logo, in a movie orgy that has clearly outgrown itself. Last year, the sheer bloat of this annual circus inspired accusations of “elitism” and complaints that a beloved event started by three movie buffs...

Gossip Girl Returns on Horseback!

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:25:20 -0400

For most teen shows, the transition between high school and college is the beginning of the end—the death rattle before inevitable cancelation. For Gossip Girl, however, it appears nothing will change at all. Think about it: has a show about high schoolers-turned-undergrads ever cared less about featuring its characters in class? We can count on one hand the amount of school-based subplots on Gossip Girl over the past two...

Box Office Breakdown: It's Tyler Perry's World

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:36:51 -0400

Faced with the start of the NFL season, the VMA’s (like everyone else, we’re on Team Taylor Swift), and, perhaps, a bit of moviegoer ennui, it was another slow weekend at the multiplex. Tyler Perry’s latest film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, topped all comers with an impressive $24 million, but otherwise it was a mixed bag for the remaining new releases. The “visionary” animated flick 9...

Opening This Weekend: Tyler Perry And a Bunch of Other Movies You Won't See!

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:10:07 -0400

Ah, the second weekend in September: A time for crappy horror movies and, apparently, Tyler Perry (though, truth be told, those two things might not be mutually exclusive). Four movies hit theaters today, and if you don’t like genre stuff, you’re out of luck! As we do every Friday, here’s a handy guide to the new releases.

Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself
