LA Film Critics Name ‘Amour’ Best Picture, Boost ‘The Master,’ Jazz Up Oscar Race

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After so much Zero Dark Thirty domination from the New York Film Critics Circle, their West Coast counterparts in the Los Angeles Film Critics Association made a splash with more art house-leaning picks, voting Michael Haneke ‘s Amour the best film of 2012 — technically a foreign language entry, though Leos Carax’s Holy Motors earned that honor. (I see what you did there, LAFCA — and I like it.) LA critics also showed love for Beasts of the Southern Wild , whose non-professional actor/NOLA-area baker Dwight Henry earned a Best Supporting Actor nod, launching his awards season prospects. Get the full winners after the jump along with results from today’s awards announcements from the Boston Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Online groups, both boosters of Kathryn Bigelow and Zero Dark Thirty … LA Film Critics Association 2012 Award Honorees: Best Picture: Amour (Runner-up: The Master ) Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson, The Master (Runner-up: Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty ) Best Actress: (TIE) Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook and Emmanuelle Riva, Amour Best Actor: Joaquin Phoenix, The Master (Runner-up: Denis Lavant, Holy Motors ) Best Supporting Actor: Dwight Henry, Beasts of the Southern Wild (Runner-up: Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained ) Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams, The Master (Runner-up: Anne Hathaway, The Dark Knight Rises and Les Misérables ) Best Screenplay: Argo (Runner-up: Silver Linings Playbook ) Best Film Editing: Zero Dark Thirty (Runner-up: Argo ) Best Cinematography: Skyfall (Runner-up: The Master ) Best Foreign Film: Holy Motors (Runner-up: Footnote ) Best Documentary: The Gatekeepers (Runner-up: Searching for Sugar Man ) Best Animation: Frankenweenie (Runner-up: It’s Such a Beautiful Day ) Best Music/Score: Beasts of the Southern Wild (Runner-up: The Master ) Best Production Design: The Master (Runner-up: Moonrise Kingdom ) New Generation Award: Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild Douglas Edwards Experimental/Independent Film/Video Award: Leviathan Not all of LAFCA ‘s picks are watertight, IMO ( Frankenweenie over ParaNorman ? Oh, fine …) but the organization deserves massive kudos for going against the grain with the majority of their awards when every other critics group so far has played it so safe. Among LAFCA’s greater surprises, which please me greatly: Love for Beasts of the Southern Wild ‘s Dwight Henry, who’s magnificent alongside Quvenzhane Wallis (who’s also got some solid Oscar buzz of her own going, at just 9 years old); Roger Deakins’ win for Skyfall , which elicited cheers from his boosters during LAFCA’s 5-hour-plus voting meeting ; the fact that Joaquin Phoenix ‘s snarly, gnarly turn in The Master was recognized amid a season of Daniel Day-Lewis – Lincoln adoration — and that the runner-up for Best Actor wasn’t even DD-L, but Holy Motors ‘ Denis Lavant. LAFCA also gets points in my book for refusing to let buzz dictate voting, even if Amour ‘s Emmanuelle Riva had to share the win with Silver Linings Playbook Oscar front-runner Jennifer Lawrence , and despite the fact that even in naming Anne Hathaway a Best Supporting Actress runner-up for Les Miserables they also tacked on her turn as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises . Meanwhile, as if one five-hour critics award deliberation live-Tweet wasn’t enough to occupy a Sunday afternoon, the Boston critics also announced their awards , which yielded some surprising love for Perks of Being a Wallflower : Best Film: Zero Dark Thirty (Runner-up: TIE – Amour and Moonrise Kingdom ) Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty (Runner-up: Paul Thomas Anderson, The Master ) Best Screenplay: Lincoln (Runner-up: Moonrise Kingdom ) Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln (Runner-up: Denis Lavant, Holy Motors ) Best Actress: Emmanuelle Riva, Amour (Runner-up: Deanie Yip, A Simple Life ) Best Supporting Actor: Ezra Miller, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Runner-up Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained ) Best Supporting Actress: Sally Field, Lincoln (Runner-up: Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower ) Best Cinematography: The Master (Runner-up: TIE – Life of Pi , Moonrise Kingdom ) Best Ensemble: Seven Psychopaths (Runner-up: Moonrise Kingdom ) Best Animated Film: Frankenweenie (Runner-up: ParaNorman ) Best Documentary: How to Survive a Plague (Runner-up: The Queen of Versailles ) Best Foreign Language Film: Amour (Runner-up: Holy Motors ) Best Editing: Zero Dark Thirty (Runner-up: Argo ) Best Use of Music: Moonrise Kingdom (Runner-up: Django Unchained ) Best New Filmmaker: David France, How to Survive a Plague (Runner-up: Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild ) And over in New York, the New York Film Critics Online (the digital critics group in NYC, not to be confused with the New York Film Critics Circle, which can be confusing), made some very similar picks, leaning a bit more toward Oscar favorites like Tommy Lee Jones, whose supporting turn in Lincoln is a sure thing for an Academy Award nomination. Best Picture: Zero Dark Thirty Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln Best Actress: Emmanuelle Riva, Amour Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway, Les Misérables Best Screenplay: Zero Dark Thirty Best Cinematography: Claudio Miranda, Life of Pi Best Documentary: Central Park Five Best Animated Film: Chico & Rita Best Ensemble Cast: Argo Debut Director: Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild Best Use of Music: Django Unchained Breakthrough Performance: Quvenzhané Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild Of note here: Argo winning the “Best Ensemble Cast” award is probably indicative of how things are going to go for Ben Affleck’s real-life political thriller now that Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty has stolen all of its thunder. It’s also interesting to see how both Boston and NYFCO choose to honor film music with the award for “Best Use of Music,” which opens the category beyond just score or soundtrack; Benh Zeitlin’s original Beasts score is a wonderment in itself, but how do you compare it to Quentin Tarantino dropping a Rick Ross track into his Southern slavery exploitation homage? Let’s hear what you have to say, Movieliners. Who’s with me in awarding LAFCA the award for Best Sunday Afternoon Critics Award Voting Results? Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

Do You Believe Him?? ‘Egyptian Popeye’ Says “I Don’t Care What Y’all Say, My Super Diesel 31-Inch Overgrown Yokes Are 100% Authentic!”

Posted on November 29, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Got roids??? Via ABC News: Massachusetts bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail eats seven pounds of protein, nine pounds of carbohydrates and three gallons of water each day to help maintain upper arms that measure 31 inches around — as big as a small man’s waist. Skeptics say there must also be steroids or some other artificial means behind Ismail’s beyond-bulging biceps and triceps, and Guinness World Records is waffling on whether to recognize him. But he insists they are all-natural, the result of a punishing workout regimen he started after a guest at his uncle’s wedding in his native Egypt mocked his overweight frame. “They call me Popeye, the Egyptian Popeye,” Ismail, 24, said while working out in the Boston suburb of Milford. But unlike the cartoon character, “I like chicken, beef, anything but spinach.” It’s not easy having the world’s biggest arms. Generous amounts of poultry, seafood and shakes provide the protein he needs to fuel daily two-hour workouts in which he lifts as much as 600 pounds. He also takes mineral and vitamin supplements and drinks plenty of water to flush out his system. Then there’s clothes shopping. The rest of Ismail’s body is average, so it’s a challenge finding shirts that fit his arms without making him look like a little kid playing dress-up. Not to mention the controversy that ensued when Guinness decided to recognize him as having the largest upper arm muscles on earth and critics accused him of using steroids or other artificial methods. What do y’all think??? Watch the video below to see for yourself… AP

Rihanna: Nude GQ Cover Girl!

Posted on November 12, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We know you’re going to be totally surprised by this, but Rihanna is showing off her hot, nude body on the cover of GQ‘s December 2012 issue. Somewhere, T-Boz is slamming her again. The 24-year-old singer wrote on her Instagram, along with the cover: “GQ’s man of the year?! When will your fave? #histoRih #GQ.” We have one guess who her man of the year is. She says she is not together with Chris Brown , but that doesn’t mean they’re not making music together. Literally and otherwise. They recently recorded a song for her new album Unapologetic called “Nobodies Business,” and it’s generating some major buzz. And let’s face it, they are 100 percent, unapologetically slapping bodies. As for the above cover, it’s par for the course for this oft-naked celebrity. In fact, it was just a matter of time until she stripped down again. It had been like days. Click to enlarge past images of Rihanna naked , nude or darn close.

Has Justin Bieber taken to Instagram in order to taunt Selena Gomez?

Look at what you’re now missing! Neither Bieber nor Selena have said much about their shocking break-up, but Bieber did sing Justin Timberlake’s ” Cry Me a River ” in Boston on Saturday night – and we all know what that song is about! A pair of former co-stars, meanwhile, have taken Selena’s side on Twitter and lashed out at Bieber . In other words: without even knowing what happened, it’s getting ugly. Are you sad these two have parted ways? Which side are you on?   Team Justin Team Selena View Poll »

REVIEW: Gleefully Insane Seven Psychopaths Is Meta Movie Mayhem

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

While I hate to quibble over the details, Martin McDonagh ‘s  Seven Psychopaths  really contains only six of the nutjobs promised promised in the title — unless you want to count the main character, Marty ( Colin Farrell ). Marty, an Irish screenwriter living in Los Angeles who likes to drink but wouldn’t say he has a drinking  problem  (though others might disagree) and considers himself an observer of the increasingly and often hilariously crazy events that unfold in the film. But the film, which is half ’90s-style violent comedy and half an meta-critique of that genre, makes a pretty good case for writing as its own breed of pathological behavior — one that tends in its nature to be solitary and that leads you to prey on the experiences and stories of others, to assimilate them as your own to tell. Seven Psychopaths  is set in a bright, rambling Los Angeles in which even the people who aren’t employed in the film industry know how to give notes. Marty is working on a screenplay also titled Seven Psychopaths , though mostly he’s staring at a blank page and getting sloshed. His best friend Billy ( Sam Rockwell ), an unemployed actor who makes cash on the side by kidnapping dogs with his partner-in-crime Hans ( Christopher Walken ) and then returning them to their grateful owners, tries to provide support, while his girlfriend Kaya (Abbie Cornish) stews in exasperation. A series of events involving a masked man who’s been killing mobsters and leaving a jack of diamonds as his calling card, a stolen Shih Tzu and an ad in the LA Weekly brings all the inspiration Marty could want into his life and a lot more. Despite his chosen subject matter, Marty claims “I don’t want to do another film about guys with guns in their hands.” Instead, he’d prefer something about love and peace. McDonagh, an acclaimed playwright as well as a filmmaker, has fewer qualms about the appeal of gleeful carnage and wild-eyed swagger, though he also explores the balance between wanting to create something universal and profound and taking a less complicated joy in things blowing up. As a mixture of bloodshed and philosophy,  Seven Psychopaths is a step up from and a smoother ride than McDonagh’s 2008 feature debut  In Bruges , which also starred Farrell and which studied the interactions of its two gangsters for meaning like they were tea leaves. In its  Adaptation. -esque interrogations of its own developments — Marty’s thoughts on where his screenplay is going echo what’s happening in the movie, and he and Billy tussle for control over what type of ending they’re going to get —  Seven Psychopaths presents a clever if largely surface-level argument about cinema as art versus cinema as a delivery system for more immediate gratification. Despite Marty’s wishes, it’s the immediate gratification aspects of  Seven Psychopaths that win out, by way of the jubilant gore, the crackling verbal back-and-forths and the fact that the cast is stacked with actors who in any other film would be playing the scene-stealing oddball but here raise the ensemble average to something deliciously quirky. Even Farrell, as the least wacko of the men, is interesting — the Hollywood preener toppling into destruction. Walken, playing the mild-mannered, cravat-wearing Hans, cranks up his signature inflection and transforms every other sentence into an odd laugh line. Woody Harrelson, as insane dog owning gangster Charlie, is amusingly and smirkingly scary, following rules that only he understands. Tom Waits turns up as Zachariah, a man who carries around a pet rabbit and who has a hell of a story to share, while former  Boardwalk Empire co-stars Michael Pitt and Michael Stuhlbarg pop in for a thoroughly enjoyable discussion of eyeball shooting. But it’s Rockwell’s demented Billy, grinning like a jack-o’-lantern through the escalating chaos, who reigns over the film’s greatest moment when he offers up a suggestion for a climactic scene in Marty’s movie that uproariously fills the screen as he narrates and provides sound effects. Set to a score by Carter Burwell that takes breaks for tunes like P.P. Arnold’s “The First Cut Is The Deepest” and Linda Ronstadt’s “Different Drum,” existing in a start contrast from what’s unfolding on screen,  Seven Psychopaths is a ball. But there is a hollowness to some of its self-critiques: when Hans tells Marty “your women characters are awful,” with little to say and usually meeting a bleak end, he’s offering the same jab at the movie he’s in. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. And given the Tarantino-worthy antics the characters get up to, the musings about what these things all mean sometimes seem just that — empty musing. Marty may be offered a vision of how violence can transcend into something more powerful, but the movie he’s in can’t quite follow the same path. It’s a good thing that psychopathy is so entertaining. Follow Alison Willmore on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Tom Hanks To Make Broadway Debut In Nora Ephron Play About Tabloid Columnist

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tom Hanks will make his Broadway debut in a play written by his friend, the late Sleepless in Seattle director Nora Ephron.  Hanks will play the late tabloid columnist Mike McAlary in Lucky Guy , Ephron’s play about the charismatic and controversial newspaperman, who worked for both the New York Post and its rival the New York Daily News during the  gritty 1980s.  According to the New York Times , Ephron, who died in June, first developed Lucky Guy  as a movie but later decided to adapt it to the stage. (She last worked on Broadway in 2002 when Imaginary Friend s, her play about the writers Mary McCarthy and Lillian Hellman, opened.)  An announcement put out on Thursday by the play’s producers described Lucky Guy  as the “rise, fall and rise again” of McAlary who, shortly before succumbing to colon cancer at the age of 41, won a Pultizer Prize in 1998 for his coverage of the Abner Louima police brutality case. Earlier that decade, McAlary came under fire for three columns he wrote questioning the story of a former Yale University student who claimed she’d been raped in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. The 29-year-old woman hit McAlary with a $12 million libel suit claiming that he damaged her reputation by writing that she fabricated the rape claim to publicize a feminist rally. A judge cleared him of the charges in 1997. Lucky Guy will be directed by George C. Wolfe (Angels in America) and will open on April 1, 2013 at the Broadhurst Theater on West 44th Street for a limited engagement. (Previews will begin March 1.) The Times also reported that, although Hanks has never appeared on Broadway before, he made his professional theater debut as a servant in a Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival production of The Taming of the Shrew .  The two-time Oscar winner worked with Ephron in Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail.  [ New York Times ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

REVIEW: More Fine Filmmaking (But Not Acting) From Ben Affleck In Argo

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Argo is the story of a film that never existed, a  Star Wars rip-off set in a sci-fi world with a conveniently Middle Eastern feel. If the movie ever actually made it into production, it looks like the kind of thing you’d stumble upon while doing some insomnia-fueled TV-channel flipping in the small hours of the morning: a forgotten space opera featuring sparkly costumes and melodramatic dialogue. But when CIA agent Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) options this script, what he has in mind is not a genre movie but a rescue operation.  Argo,  Affleck’s third outing as a director, heads far away from the Boston crime stories of Gone Baby Gone and  The Town — to Tehran in 1980, where six American diplomats who escaped from the taking of the American embassy have been hiding out in the home of the Canadian ambassador in an increasingly perilous situation. There are no good ways of getting them out of a country roiling with rage against the U.S. decision to grant asylum to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the recently overthrown Shah of Iran. The State Department suggests giving the six bicycles and pointing them toward the Turkish border, or passing them off as NGO workers in the country to inspect crops that aren’t growing because it’s winter. The plan Tony comes up with, to pass them off as a Canadian film crew, is as his boss Jack O’Donnell (Bryan Cranston) puts it “the best bad idea” the agency has. Argo plays out like an unlikely heist movie in which all the suspense comes from unexpected corners. It’s a con in which the ultimate tense sequence involves getting through airport security, in which we root for the American “house guests” to escape while never being allowed to forget that the mess they’re in is a consequence of U.S. actions. It’s more fine filmmaking from Affleck, though it feels less personal and soulful than his previous hometown genre exercises.  The movie’s poignance comes primarily from the opportunity it provides for show business to save the day, and John Goodman and Alan Arkin as Hollywood vets John Chambers and Lester Siegel provide a wry, seen-it-all counterpoint to the aura of melancholy that colors the main storyline. The primary weakness of Affleck’s film is the actor himself, who can’t seem to find much in “exfiltration” specialist Tony aside from a dedication to his work and sorrow over the potential breakup of his family.  He is separated from his wife, who has taken their son with her to Virginia. The ’70s shaggy Tony is the protagonist of the story (and the real life Mendez provided some of the film’s source material in his book  The Master of Disguise ), but the film places him as the too-still center, as if it would be in bad taste to give too much color to his character. “The whole country is watching you, they just don’t know it,” he’s told early in the runtime, and that sense of his being a secret hero seems to extend into  Argo as well. It’s left to the rest of the cast to fill in the liveliness, and Cranston and Chris Messina manage that well in the CIA, while Kerry Bishé, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall and Scoot McNairy do an able job fleshing out the six American stowaways. As Joe Stafford, the ambitious embassy worker who challenges Tony’s plan as unsafe, McNairy is a stand-out, portraying a character in denial about how few options their group now has and filled with guilt about placing his wife in danger. But it’s Goodman and Arkin who are uncomplicated great fun, and the scenes in which Tony travels around Burbank arranging a fake production with their characters are the movie’s most enjoyable outside of the taut finale. Beneath a crumbled Hollywood sign, Tony dips his toe into the film world, quaffing wine at a press event for his nonexistence movie as costumed actors do a table read. That scene, which cuts between the lavish event and the situation in Iran, would suggest a critique of the entertainment industry and the escapism it represents. But a later sequence finds one of the characters giving the pitch of his life to members of the Revolutionary Guard, and inadvertently affirming the power that the movies hold over everyone. On a studio lot thousands of miles away from Iran, Chambers and Siegel may  be joking about Groucho Marx while the world is in turmoil, but the power of show business holds sway even amidst Iran’s militants, whose own actions demonstrate an awareness of the importance of theatricality.  Argo  is a subdued thriller about a small triumph in a troubled moment in time, but it’s not without its sting. The side storyline of a local girl who was employed at the embassy provides a biting reminder of what it really means to be an unacknowledged hero. Not every gets to celebrate and drink champagne at the end. Follow Alison Willmore on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Yunel Escobar Eye Black Scandal: Shortstop Apologizes for Gay Slur

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Yunel Escobar has issued an apology for one of the stranger scandals we’ve seen recently in the world of sports. The Toronto Blue Jays shortstop donned eye black for his team’s game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, scribbling Spanish words across the outside that translate roughly to “faggot.” The ball player was suspended three games for the action. “I feel bad,” he told the media this afternoon in response to the incident. “I’m leaving my team for something I didn’t intend to do. I have nothing against the gay community and honestly I’m sorry… It was just a joke and it wasn’t directed to anyone in particular… “It’s just something that’s been said around amongst Latinos. It’s not something that’s meant to be offensive. For us, it didn’t have the significance to the way it’s being interpreted right now. It’s a word used often within teams. … I agree with the suspension and don’t have any problem with it.” Escobar, who is hitting only .251 this season, will forfeit about $92,000 as a result of the suspension. A portion of those funds will go to GLAAD.
