By now you’ve had a few hours to digest the news that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the Academy Awards next year , something that is likely a dream come true for Twentieth Century Fox (perhaps Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis can do an interpretive dance to commemorate the ten Best Picture nominees, too!). But who else was considered? Ahead, Movieline imagines 20 rejected Oscar-host pairings based on the selection of Franco and Hathaway.

‘I’m What Time and Circumstance Made Me’: Boardwalk Empire Recapped

Posted on November 29, 2010 by | Comments Off on ‘I’m What Time and Circumstance Made Me’: Boardwalk Empire Recapped

If the penultimate episode of Boardwalk Empire did anything, it gave the series an epitaph for its first season. As Jimmy told The Commodore — pat on back: I, like many others, had already called that he was Jimmy’s pop-pop — “I’m what time and circumstance made me.” So, too, is every other major character populating this east coast Gomorrah. It’s enough to make Randolph and Mortimer Duke proud.

Report: James Franco, Anne Hathaway May Host Oscars

Breaking: Nikki Finke writes that she’s “just learned that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has asked James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Academy Awards, and it ‘looks like’ both young stars have accepted the offer. There is always the chance that one of them might back out because of prior commitments. But my sources say the host announcement could be made as soon as this week.” Oh, so this is what they meant by wanting to work on the Alien prequel . Great euphemism! [ Deadline ]

Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

Posted on November 24, 2010 by | Comments Off on Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

We revived Bad Movies We Love last week with Cher’s Chastity , a quaint ’60s jam full of boring monologues and menacing lesbianism. But Movieline is barreling ahead with a film that combines superhero glitz, melodrama and the campy pizazz of a Gwen Stacy dye job: Spider-Man 3 . You think James Franco is fancy now with his Oscar buzz and amputee cred ? Wait until you revisit him in Spider-Man 3 , the film that pinned our disbelief under a boulder and forced us to saw it off using Topher Grace’s frosty tips. Are you emotionally ready to revisit when Spider-Man went emo?

New Black Swan Poster Catches Natalie Portman Red-Handed

Posted on November 16, 2010 by | Comments Off on New Black Swan Poster Catches Natalie Portman Red-Handed

Just as the near-instant awards buzz for Black Swan after its Venice and Toronto premieres begat a (slightly) more focused marketing showcase for Natalie Portman, last week’s rapturously received AFI Fest premiere has yielded its own new poster. Which I really like! Except for what looks like the severed arm from 127 Hours Photoshopped at the bottom.

REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Filmmakers feel an understandable urge to rise to the occasion when committing the lives of ’60s saints and mold-busting mavericks like Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg to the screen. Dylan got Todd Haynes’s 2007 deconstruction of the biopic, I’m Not There (in which David Cross appears as Ginsburg in an indelible cameo). And now Ginsberg is the subject of Howl , a collagist treatment of his creation myth. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman began their account of the conception of Ginsburg’s titular declamatory opus and the 1957 obscenity trial that followed its publication as a straight documentary. After roughing out the usual talking heads and archival footage, it became clear to the directors of The Times of Harvey Milk (Epstein only) and The Celluloid Closet that the best way to honor their subject was to get a little funky.
