REVIEW: Advances in Fairy-Tale Technology Finally Bring Rapunzel to Big Screen in Tangled

How do you solve a problem like Rapunzel? Cinematically, at least, she’s one of the most neglected of the Grimm brothers’ fairy-tale heroines; Disney-wise she’s been positively snubbed. The story had great optics but not a lot of action, I suppose, though as a child who walked around in towel-fashioned headdresses to simulate the long hair my mother wouldn’t let me have, Rapunzel’s was the story I longed to thrill to on the big screen.

Kate Sissons Whores Out in PIMP of the Day

She’s the daughter of some BBC news reporter named Peter Sissons. I love when parents work hard at having legitimate careers, you know at providing their family with a life of luxury where they mingle with the Biritish Society, allowing them to be anything they want to be, giving them access to the best possible education and their daughters choose to play Dominatrix bitches in nipple clamps on camera cuz it’s the only job her “professionally” trained acting ass can get…. She decided one day she was talented enough, and looked good enough to work in the movies, to live the celebrity life, cuz the rich girl life wasn’t enough, but even with pullin’ all of her daddy’s contacts, nipple clamps and the splits is all this whore can get. Failure for her is a win for us. Amazing.

Darren Aronofsky on Wolverine: ‘I’m Being Hired to Do What I Do’

After a week spent climbing back into Oscar contention for Black Swan , the last thing Darren Aronofsky can afford right now is to backslide into the swirling pit of hype and speculation around his big comic-book coming-out party The Wolverine . So, with trademark equanimity and cool, the filmmaker appears in a new video assuring skeptics that not only has he not sold out, but he’s just making a movie like any of his others. It just happens to have a mutant hero.

We’ve already established that the weekend belongs to Harry Potter devotees.

The faithful got an early go of things on Thursday — and they brought their cameras.

Colin Firth on King’s Speech, Heartthrob Politics, and His Secret American Roots

Do not call The King’s Speech a period piece — at least not around its star Colin Firth. And this is a guy who knows a thing or two about labels — an actor who has long since shed the baggage of being the fantasy of every adolescent girl who ever saw Pride and Prejudice . As Firth mentions, he’s quite happy he’s at an age (he just turned 50) where it’s his work as an actor who’s being judged — judgment that paid off with his first Oscar nomination last year for A Single Man and what will surely be his second nomination this year for The King’s Speech .

Metropolis and 5 Other Silent Films That Don’t Feel Like Homework

Fritz Lang’s sci-fi masterpiece gets a snappy new DVD release with The Complete Metropolis (new from Kino International this week), including long-lost footage that recently surfaced thanks to a 16mm print found in an Argentine vault. Sadly, the fact that it’s a silent movie will cause lots of otherwise-adventurous moviewatchers to turn up their nose at it, like it was a spoonful of cod-liver oil being administered by Kate Gosselin. But even if repeated film-class screenings of Intolerance made you think that all pre-sound movies were tedious and overacted, a look at Metropolis — or any of the following films — should convince you otherwise.
