What are your 2010 Golden Globe predictons?

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on What are your 2010 Golden Globe predictons?

Only a day after the Golden Globe nominations were released, the press is already overwhelmed with nominee reactions (Sofia Vergara was apparently in the shower when she heard) and commentary on the mixture of veteran nominees and newcomers (Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, and Mila Kunis all grabbed noms for young Hollywood). Surely it's now time to start making predictions for the winners. Does a young actress like Emma Stone have a chance at winning Best Performance? Will David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network sweep every category featuring someone connected to the movie? If Johnny Depp's nominated twice for Best Performance, do other actors even stand a chance? What are your predictions for the 2010 Golden Globes? added by: cberlin1

REVIEW: Garden of Eden Isn’t Just Lesser Hemingway; It’s the Worst of Him

Posted on December 7, 2010 by | Comments Off on REVIEW: Garden of Eden Isn’t Just Lesser Hemingway; It’s the Worst of Him

Though based on the Hemingway novel published 25 years after his death, Hemingway’s Garden of Eden feels more like the result of an ungodly alliance between Harlequin house writers and the cut-and-paste masterminds at A&E Biography . Hemingway worked on the novel from 1946 until his death, leaving its 200,000 words unpublished. The story is roughly autobiographical, derived in part from to his second marriage (to wealthy Pauline Pfeiffer), but allusions to Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, whom Hemingway reviled, seem to figure as well. As adapted by former Paris Review editor James Scott Linville and directed by John Irwin, The Garden of Eden suggests the bad first novel that Hemingway never wrote. There’s a reason This Side Of Paradise never made it to the screen.

Jesse Eisenberg on Using Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and His Next Project (Which May Involve You)

Posted on December 7, 2010 by | Comments Off on Jesse Eisenberg on Using Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and His Next Project (Which May Involve You)

Last week I met actor Jesse Eisenberg for a lengthy discussion of subjects ranging from his coming-of-age in the New York theater to his beloved Zombieland and his awards-season prospects for The Social Network. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ll be retracing this week in a five-part series here at Movieline. As our impromptu Hell’s Kitchen rendezvous continued, Jesse Eisenberg naturally drifted into the subject The Social Network was in part based on: Facebook, and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. The actor elaborated on his (short) experience on Facebook, the possibility of sending Mark Zuckerberg ill-advised late night emails, if he can still walk down the street without being recognized (or, as it turns out, without being given a noogie) and his new project — which just may wind up somehow involving you.

Jesse Eisenberg on Awards Season, Narcissism and His Feelings About an Oscar Nomination

Posted on December 6, 2010 by | Comments Off on Jesse Eisenberg on Awards Season, Narcissism and His Feelings About an Oscar Nomination

Last week I met actor Jesse Eisenberg for a lengthy discussion of subjects ranging from his coming-of-age in the New York theater to his beloved Zombieland and his awards-season prospects for The Social Network. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ll be retracing this week in a five-part series here at Movieline. Let it be said, once and for all: Jesse Eisenberg is not shy. The young actor the media so often describes as nerdy or awkward in fact hinted at an endearing unpredictability last Thursday afternoon: Mere minutes after learning his Social Network performance as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg nabbed him the National Board of Review award for Best Actor, Eisenberg phoned to ask if we could ditch our original diner meeting spot — and ditch his publicist, as it turned out — to meet early, just us, wherever I happened to be at the time.

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on National Board of Review Honors The Social Network, Jacki Weaver Among Best of 2010

It looks like at least on random collection of awards voters has been paying attention to Movieline’s Oscar Index . The National Board of Review kicked off awards season in style this afternoon by selecting Animal Kingdom star Jacki Weaver as Best Supporting Actress of the year. Huzzah ! Elsewhere, The Social Network cleaned house with awards for Best Film, Director, Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Adapted Screenplay. Click ahead for the full list of winners — and note that 127 Hours , Black Swan and The Kids Are All Right were all snubbed. Did the Board not get those screeners?

Armie Hammer on Social Network, Obeying David Fincher and His ‘Cheesy Christian Movie’

Posted on November 29, 2010 by | Comments Off on Armie Hammer on Social Network, Obeying David Fincher and His ‘Cheesy Christian Movie’

Of all the conversations encircling The Social Network on its way to awards-season glory, few have had the surprising resonance accompanying Armie Hammer’s performance at Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — identical twins who go to war against their Harvard peer Mark Zuckerberg for the rights to Facebook. A marvel of both technical acting and digital wizardry, Hammer’s dual performance is all the more revelatory for the relatively unheralded 24-year-old actor who pulled it off. And to think we indirectly owe it all to Home Alone .

Report: Rooney Mara ‘Severely Injured’ on Dragon Tattoo Set [UPDATED]

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Report: Rooney Mara ‘Severely Injured’ on Dragon Tattoo Set [UPDATED]

Grains of salt at the ready: Perez Hilton reports that Rooney Mara has been rushed to the hospital after “severely” injuring her shoulder on the set of David Fincher’s Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . That’s all the details anyone has right now; representatives at Sony were not immediately available for comment, but expect more here as the story unfolds. And all best to Mara… UPDATE 2:20 p.m. EDT : I’m still waiting for Sony to call back, but apparently Cinematical got a hold of a studio rep who debunked the earlier report. So. [ Perez Hilton ]
