Weekend Forecast: Apollo 18, Shark Night 3D, and Helen Mirren Round Out Your Summer

Posted on September 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As you fire up the grill and wax philosophical about the meaning of Labor Day this long holiday weekend (i.e. it means no work on Monday!), take a moment to think about the underdogs struggling to do battle at the box office. Killer sharks , astronauts , even the mighty Helen Mirren — none of this week’s new releases may have the power to unseat the chick-lit segregation drama The Help , which could well sweep all comers under the rug with another #1 weekend showing. Bet you never envisioned the summer blockbuster season would end this way, did ya?

By virtually any Hollywood standard, even if another film featuring Jessica Chastain weren’t released in 2011 after this week, she’d have already had a pretty phenomenally successful rookie year in the business.

Posted on August 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If it feels like Andrea Riseborough has been on the cusp of a breakout for the last calendar year, that’s probably because she has. Last year at the Toronto International Film Festival, Riseborough appeared in three films — Never Let Me Go , Made In Dagenham and Brighton Rock ( out in limited release now ) — and this year she’ll show up in Toronto, again, with the Madonna-directed W.E. ; the life of a budding breakout actress never seems to slow down.

REVIEW: In Search of Fresh Style, Brighton Rock Loses its Soul

Posted on August 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Graham Greene’s 1938 masterpiece Brighton Rock is an enduring curio of fiction: A literary pulp novel ahead of its time, a gangland allegory of sin and the cost of redemption, and perhaps most fascinating, a pre-WWII oracle anticipating the traumatic British century to come. It’s a prism through which all the harrowing perils of class strife, organized crime and romantic love bend and refract into Greene’s glowing white weave of language, which, when projected onto a screen, have yielded both an equally classic 1947 screen adaptation and now Rowan Joffe’s troubled updating.

Michelle Williams is the Center of Attention in First Poster for My Week With Marilyn

Posted on August 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Hopefully you aren’t tired of seeing Michelle Williams at the Academy Awards. The twice-nominated star stands a very good chance of becoming thrice nominated in 2012 thanks to her role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn . Whether or not the film holds water as an Oscar contender remains to be seen — it will debut at the New York Film Festival in October — but the first poster isn’t concerned with any of that; it’s all about Michelle-as-Marilyn. Click through for a look.

Bad Movies We Love: Teaching Mrs. Tingle

Posted on August 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I’m afraid of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , but for silly reasons. It has something to do with the title, which sounds like either an eerie whisper at Neverland Ranch or a creepy Paul Anka hit, and the track record of Ms. Katie Holmes, who first tried to terrify us in 1999’s hyper-dorky Teaching Mrs. Tingle . You’d think Scream maestro Kevin Williamson would want to explore a darker teen fantasy than “getting back at a mean teacher,” but no — this movie is the horror equivalent of the Nickelodeon Takes Over Your School sweepstakes. Your history instructor is getting slimed! With her own blood! Sweet!

Sam Riley on Brighton Rock and His Arduous Trip On the Road

Posted on August 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Back in 2007, Sam Riley burst on the scene with a starmaking performance in the critically acclaimed film Control . Poised to be the latest hot British import to invade U.S. shores, Riley followed Control up with two intriguing-on-paper titles — Franklyn with Ryan Phillippe and Eva Green and 13 opposite Ray Winstone, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgaard. The rest, as they say, is history — though maybe not the kind Riley initially envisioned.

Tit’s Official: 66-Year-Old Helen Mirren is "Body of the Year" [PICS]

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

There ain’t nothing like a Dame, and Helen Mirren is at the top of Skin Central’s list. She’s both a Dame of the British Empire and a Mr. Skin Nudity All-Star, and now even gym chain L. A. Fitness is getting on the Mirren bandwagon. People magazine reports that Helen recently beat out distinguished nominudes like Kate Winslet , Pippa Middleton and Jennifer Lopez to win the “Body of the Year” award in a survey sponsored by the fitness company. Speaking of beating out, Dame Helen also has the singular honor of being the only celeb on Mr. Skin who’s been nude in 5 decades on film. She first stripped down in 1969’s Age of Consent, and went nude as recently as 2010’s Love Ranch , the story of a husband and wife who open Nevada’s first legal brothel. See five decades of funbags from Helen Mirren after the jump!
