WATCH: Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Biehn Go Nuts in a Basement in Apocalyptic Trailer for The Divide

Posted on October 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

You know which underrated actor I love? Michael Biehn. You know which other underrated actor I love? Milo Ventimiglia. ( Gilmore Girls forever!) So the tense, bloody trailer for Xavier Gens’ apocalyptic horror pic The Divide pretty much had me at the get go, even before Biehn and Ventimiglia faced off for control of a roomful of survivors bunkered down in a basement after the world outside apparently succumbed to Sarah Connor’s nightmare nuclear blast from Terminator 2 . Watch the trailer and get more midday treats in today’s Buzz Break.

VIDEO: iPhone 4S’s Siri Responds to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Prompts

Posted on October 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ok gadget hounds, so this Siri thing is pretty neat. AND she/it has a built-in sense for movie geekery, so if you happen to ask her, say, what the meaning of life is. (Answer: 42, duh.) Or slyly refer to the shenanigans of that uber-intelligent, all-knowing other futuristic supercomputer, HAL 9000. Watch video of Siri in action (at the 5:15 mark) after the jump and stick around for more Buzz Break.

Joel Edgerton on Big Moments, The Thing Prequel, and Avoiding ‘The Hollywood Trap’

Posted on October 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Australian actor Joel Edgerton has been in the business for a good 15 years, during which time he’s transitioned from Aussie TV to supporting turns in international films ( Kinky Boots , King Arthur , and Star Wars: Episode II — Revenge of the Sith ) and wrote and co-starred in the solid Australian thriller The Square with brother Nash (who directed). But in 2011 — on the heels of his work in the underperforming but critically-loved Warrior , on the eve of his lead turn in Universal’s prequel The Thing — he seems poised, finally, for his moment in the spotlight.

Christopher Columbus Face-Off: Who Has Had the Greater Impact on Film?

Posted on October 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s the second Monday in October and you know what that means — it’s Columbus Day, the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s 1492 arrival in the Americas. But let’s not forget, approximately 500 years after the Italian explorer set foot in the New World, a young filmmaker also named Christopher Columbus pioneered a new world of family comedy with hits like The Goonies , Home Alone , Mrs. Doubtfire and the Harry Potter franchise. In honor of today’s holiday, Movieline wonders which Christopher Columbus had the bigger impact on cinema — the navigator who brought attention to the mass of land that would eventually encompass the U.S. center of filmmaking and provide setting for millions of films — or the filmmaker who established some of our most nostalgic family films ( Adventures in Babysitting included) as well as three Harry Potter movies. Let’s investigate below!

1999 Dramedy Best Man Getting Sequel You Didn’t Ask For But Are Totally Okay With

Posted on October 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Twelve years after critics found it to be totally decent (and refreshingly stereotype-free) and audiences made it a solid $34M box office hit, the 1999 Taye Diggs vehicle Best Man will be getting a sequel! So if you’ve been holding your breath to find out what happens after interpersonal secrets and scandals among friends come to a head on one dramarama-filled wedding day, you’re in luck. Writer-director Malcolm D. Lee is set to script and helm Best Man 2 for Universal, and reportedly got the idea after a cast reunion dinner; take that as good indication that the likes of Diggs, Morris Chestnut, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Nathan, and Nia Long might reprise their characters. [ Deadline ]

Posted on October 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

We may not know whether Bill Murray will reprise his role of Peter Venkman in the highly anticipated, highly rumored Ghostbusters 3 but we do know that the notoriously reclusive actor will spontaneously conduct an Ivy League marching band if the Ghostbusters theme song is in their set list. Video evidence from last weekend’s Harvard-Cornell game follows.

Critic: Midnight in Paris Lied to You

Posted on October 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“[T]he veneration accorded to Paris by Americans is puzzling. Like other grand cities, this one certainly has an aura — yet its cultural credentials are hardly the world’s most impressive. If anything, its most enduring characteristic is a distinct whiff of merde de taureau . It wasn’t Paris that delivered Bach, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Leonardo, Marx, Michelangelo or the Beatles. Instead, the city has given us the likes of bohemianism, deconstructionism, symbolism and the nouvelle vague. All of these were quite fun at the time, but in retrospect seem somewhat less than the real deal. The city’s aesthetic soul appears to have more to do with Gitanes, cafe society and elegant posturing.” Wait — symbolism is over? And Roman Polanski lives there? Sacrebleu! [ The Guardian ]
