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

Posted on November 19, 2010 by | Comments Off on 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.

Harry Potter Casts $24 Million Spell at Midnight

Posted on November 19, 2010 by | Comments Off on Harry Potter Casts $24 Million Spell at Midnight

Even all those Muggles queued up at Mall of America couldn’t push Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to a midnight box-office record. The seventh film in the series pulled down $24 million, a healthy gross that nevertheless fell well short of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse ‘s $30 million record in June. The film did break Eclipse ‘s IMAX record, however, surpassing the old $1 million watermark by $400,000. Only $106 million to go , team! [ The Wrap ]

The Mad Science of Fringe: A Study in Excessive Facial Expressions

Posted on November 19, 2010 by | Comments Off on The Mad Science of Fringe: A Study in Excessive Facial Expressions

After last week’s surprisingly boring mythology-development episode of Fringe, “The Abducted” at least tried to liven things up with some sad alt-Broyles backstory. Too bad underneath all those revelatory, family-building moments, the episode made about a lick of sense. Read on for the breakdown!

Posted on November 19, 2010 by | Comments Off on Weekend Forecast: Harry Potter Ain’t Leaving Here Without His $130+ Million

Happy Friday! Time to get out of the house and face the next to last day you’ll ever have your face violently rubbed in the opening of a Harry Potter movie. It’s not as bad a scenario as it sounds, to be honest — unless you’re Russell Crowe and/or Paul Haggis, in which case, well, maybe think about sleeping in. Let’s get to the forecast…

5 TV Shows That Are So Bad, They’re Actually Brilliant

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off on 5 TV Shows That Are So Bad, They’re Actually Brilliant

As anyone who has ever spent eight hours watching consecutive episodes of Cops (don’t judge) knows, there is a fine line between bad and brilliant television. Some television is horrible because abominable writing and overacting mesh so weirdly well, that a series becomes unintentionally hilarious; other times, ridiculous conceits, tragically unfunny hosts and drunken reality subjects accidentally yield entertainment. Sadly, TV scientists have yet to isolate a foolproof formula to replicated this “bad but brilliant” genre, but Movieline has identified five programs that qualify for the category.

Ryan Gosling Tees Off on ‘Misogynistic’ MPAA Over Blue Valentine Rating

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off on Ryan Gosling Tees Off on ‘Misogynistic’ MPAA Over Blue Valentine Rating

We can argue forever about the stuntiness of Harvey Weinstein’s ratings battles against the MPAA, but no one can take way the man’s determination to fight in the most public and prestigious way possible. After all, what better way to overturn Blue Valentine ‘s NC-17 and The King’s Speech ‘s R than to dispatch the guy best known for taking Al Gore’s case to the Supreme Court in 2000? Or, better yet, siccing your actor on the ratings board?

Eli Roth Adapting Viral Clown Trailer — But Is That a Good Idea?

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off on Eli Roth Adapting Viral Clown Trailer — But Is That a Good Idea?

First came the trailer for for a full length version of Hobo with a Shotgun , which is based on a fake trailer. Then director Jon Watts created a completely unauthorized, 100% fake and totally inspired trailer for an Eli Roth film (that Roth had no plans to direct) called Clown . After tweeting that he loved the trailer, Roth has now announced that he will produce a full length version of Watts’ film. Just like that! But is this a completely unwarranted lucky break for Watts, or is Roth onto something? Let’s take a look at some of Watts’ previous work to decide.

Interactive Video: Would You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off on Interactive Video: Would You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

For all the excitable people who scream at the characters in horror movies and then get abusive when they don’t take advice, your day has come. This clever Youtube video series uses footage from Night of the Living Dead to let you test how you’d fare during a zombie takeover. It’s fun for a while even if you’ve seen the film (which I hope you have), and may be a total blast if you haven’t. But with television integrating 3-D technology and threatening to take over movie theaters’ new cash-cow gimick, I couldn’t help but wonder how current directors would adapt if this sort of viewing experience became the norm.
