Posted on October 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Moneyball rose to the top of the leaderboard on Friday’s box office tally, which is no surprise. It’s baseballing time. You should be re-watching Pride of the Yankees , Fear Strikes Out , and Field of Dreams by now. Further on down the rankings, newcomers Courageous , 50/50 , Dream House , and What’s Your Number finish comparably, with the low-budget Courageous and 50/50 showing the most potential. Full listings after the jump.

Anjelica Huston on 50/50, Discovering Her Grandfather’s Films, and Oprah’s Oscar Grudge

Posted on September 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Anjelica Huston is renowned Hollywood royalty, but in the new movie 50/50 , she’s just right as a Seattle mother whose son (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is diagnosed with cancer and whose husband is a longtime sufferer of Alzheimer’s disease. For the woman who’s played everything from Maerose Prizzi to Morticia Addams, the role is yet another departure that always feels like a perfect — and revealing — fit. We caught up with the dynastic actress to discuss the real-life pain behind her performance in 50/50 , the fun of discovering her grandfather Walter Huston’s work, and the problem with winning an Oscar over Oprah Winfrey.

A Few Things About the First Trailer — and First Rumors — for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Posted on September 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This week’s edition of Oscar Index made the point of allowing for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close as an awards contender on paper, while withholding any specific hype until we’d all seen at least a trailer. Hours later, that trailer arrived. But even more interesting than the footage therein? How about the test-screening gossip trickling out around Stephen Daldry’s magic-realist 9/11 tearjerker? [Warning: Spoilers ahead.]

Which Would You Rather (Not) See: New Year’s Eve or Human Centipede 2?

Posted on September 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In the brand new trailer for New Year’s Eve , Garry Marshall’s holiday-themed movie event that promises to give the phrase “ensemble romantic comedy” a bad name, Robert De Niro wonders what could possibly beat “New York on New Year’s Eve.” I’ll tell you what: Not throwing all of your actorly credibility out the window confetti-style to appear alongside Zac Efron, Jon Bon Jovi and Ludacris in a movie that features Ashton Kutcher trapped in an elevator with the annoying girl from Glee . You know what other moviegoers might also consider better than seeing Garry Marshall’s vision of NYC on New Year’s Eve? Tom Six’s Human Centipede 2 , which inspires similar nausea but for different reasons.

Fantastic Fest: Bare-Knuckle Champ James Quinn McDonagh Talks Knuckle — and Its Planned HBO Series

Posted on September 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Within the insular Traveller community in Ireland and parts of the United Kingdom, among clans that are closely related by marriage and birth, conflicts are solved through ritualized bare-knuckle fights buoyed by blood pride and machismo. Think Brad Pitt in Snatch and you get the lighter side of the boxing tradition, but in real life, as documentarian Ian Palmer discovered as he filmed one clan’s champions over the course of 12 years, there’s a dark and tragic nature to the custom that drives the culture.

LISTEN: Irate Viewer Leaves Death Threat For Director of Worst Movie EVER!

Posted on September 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s been a while since we checked in with the team behind The Worst Movie EVER ! — which is to say with Glenn Berggoetz, the actor/filmmaker/no-budget impresario whose gonzo epic set a record for box-office futility with an $11 opening . Things have been mostly looking up since then: There was a relatively well-received screening down in Virginia, and, according to Berggoetz, exhibition interest everywhere from a domestic TV syndicate to Brazil, Japan and beyond. But! There have been bumps along the road as well — ugly, anonymous, death-threatening bumps.
