Popular Cinema’s Dude-Sex Drought

Posted on December 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I think it’s the best thing ever , but others’ mileage seems to vary — convincingly so, regarding films like The Hangover Part II and The Change-Up : “It’s ridiculous; it’s like, one minute the skeevy dude in the married dude’s body is like ‘I’M GOING TO BANG YOUR WIFE’ and then he’s overcome by feelings and can’t and the uptight dude in the player-dude’s body is like ‘I’M GOING TO BANG THIS HOT WONDERFUL CHICK’ and then he just can’t because of also his feelings. So… somehow, no one ends up having sex.” Hmm. May I suggest Shame ? [ The Awl ]

REVIEW: Ralph Fiennes Takes a Dud of a Play and Turns It into a Not-Bad Coriolanus

Posted on December 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s dangerous to underestimate modern-day reinterpretations of Shakespeare, a la Baz Luhrmann’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet and Michael Almereyda’s Hamlet, not because Shakespeare necessarily needs to be modernized, but because it’s astonishing how much retooling, rejiggering and restuffing he can withstand: His work is like a magic carpet bag that never gets filled up or worn out.

The rest is here:

Bad Movies We Love: O

Posted on November 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ralph Fiennes’s sweeping Coriolanus arrives this weekend. See that shit. Fiennes whips up a batch of thundering personal conflict, the kind that made Quiz Show so awesome, and Vanessa Redgrave gives a supporting performance far worthier of an Oscar than her work in Julia . She is angst and fury. She’s like Coriolanus Morissette up there. But if Shakespearean seriousness isn’t your thing, please circle back to 2001 when Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles and Josh Hartnett served up a Shakespearean telenovela in O , based on Othello . Hope you like hip-hop, opera and Josh Hartnett’s “evil” face, because this movie is a green-eyed monster that’s trying so hard not to be funny.

Watch the Trailer for Camp Hell, the Horror Pic Jesse Eisenberg Wishes He Could Take Back

Posted on November 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

To be fair, nothing in Jesse Eisenberg ‘s recently filed lawsuit claims that he wishes he could take back his five-minute cameo in the low budget horror pic Camp Hell , about evil unleashing a bloodbath at a Christian youth retreat. (That’s just a guess.) The actor is simply a stickler for truth in advertising and wants his fans to know he’s “not the star of and does not appear in a prominent role in Camp Hell .” As for co-stars Bruce Davison, Dana Delaney, and Andrew McCarthy… well, you’re kinda stuck. Watch the unintentional horrors unfold in the trailer after the jump!
