Santa Claus is Coming to Kill in the Trailer for Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

And you thought Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was the craziest idea for a movie ever. The trailer for Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale has popped up online and it does for Santa Claus what Jack Frost did for snowmen, while also finding time to use every single Christmas-related one-liner you could possibly imagine. Sample, said ominously: “Santa is going to find out who’s naughty or nice.” Is he?

Weekend Forecast: It’s Resident Evil: Afterlife’s World, Joaquin Phoenix is Just Living It

Unless you live in a major market and want to sample Joaquin Phoenix’s coprophilic hip-hop narcissist fantasia (no, that’s not a recommendation), it might be worth just forgoing this weekend at the movies. Don’t take my word for it, though; see the sad pickings after the jump, with one (negotiable) exception.

Peter Fonda Wrote Easy Rider in a Seedy Toronto Motel and You Should Too

Peter Fonda recently said that he wrote the script for Easy Rider without the aid of drugs between 1:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. in a low-rent Toronto motel. Since most of the film industry is currently in this very city, it seems like the perfect time to see if lightning will strike twice. Instead of sleeping tonight, I challenge all festival-goers to take a break from the blog updates and crowded screenings, hole up in the cheapest motel you can find and write your own script, Fonda-style. Imagine how much more you’d have to show for your trip! First person to change the direction of cinema for the next decade wins. The prize? Your entire personal life exposed by Peter Biskind.

Celebrate Bella Swan’s Birthday by Pushing Eclipse to $300 Million

Happy birthday, Bella Swan! Summit Entertainment will re-release The Twilight Saga: Eclipse to over 1,100 theaters tomorrow to “celebrate Bella’s birthday.” Though which one ? Her actual birthday is September 13, but her vampire birthday is September 10. Oh wait, she’s fictional and this is just some ploy to push the film over $300 million in domestic grosses? Never mind.

REVIEW: If Only Joaquin Phoenix’s Lost Year in I’m Still Here Had Stayed Lost

There is one moment of true terror in I’m Still Here , Casey Affleck’s dickish, realish account of his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix’s “lost year,” and it does not involve the whoring, coke-hoovering, excrement-eating or other Jackass ery otherwise on copious display.
