VIDEO: Take a Ride in the Tricked-Out, Fire-Breathing Medusa Car from Bellflower

Evan Glodell’s nihilist love story/vengeance tale Bellflower is a dangerous piece of must-see American indie filmmaking for Mad Max fans and, in a way, the same crowd who can’t wait to see Quentin Dupieux’s killer tire flick Rubber . After premiering at Sundance, where Oscilliscope snapped it up for a summer 2011 release, Bellflower blazed a diesel-fueled trail through SXSW treating attendees to a glimpse of the heavily modified Buick Skylark that Glodell transformed into the flame-throwing beast known as the Mother Medusa.

While audiences nationwide will have to wait even longer to see how Mel Gibson fares as a man who depends on a beaver hand puppet to get through a mid-life crisis, a handful of critics saw Jodie Foster’s The Beaver last night at SXSW . According to the early word, it looks like anyone hoping for unbridled insanity or off-the-wall comedy will have to wait for an SNL parody. But what did critics think of the movie on its own terms?

BREAKING: Someone Has Taken Mel Gibson’s Beaver Hostage

The Beaver , Jodie Foster’s upcoming film which could salvage the image of its controversy-prone lead Mel Gibson, was supposed to premiere this spring at SXSW but a pirated version could be coming to you much sooner. Summit Entertainment sent a DVD copy of the final cut to Gibson’s home last night and after viewing, Gibson put the DVD in his mailbox so that a courier could return it to Summit. When the courier arrived, though, the DVD was gone. Please contact the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department if you have any information on this theft. [ TMZ ]

‘I Don’t Know What the Hell I’m Doing,’ and 8 Other Epiphanies From Sir Anthony Hopkins

Holding court for an assembly of journalists yesterday in Los Angeles, Sir Anthony Hopkins gamely talked up his upcoming thriller The Rite , in which he plays a seasoned Jesuit exorcist mentoring a skeptical seminary student (newcomer Colin O’D onoghue) in Rome. Sitting across from the Oscar-winning actor, one thing was clear: At 73, Sir Anthony has, to borrow from Plato, achieved a great sense of calm and freedom. Like, the freedom to do whatever the hell he wants, whether it’s starring last year in Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger , getting hairy in the uber flop The Wolfman , making a special appearance in low-budget B-movies about female cage fighters , or playing a Norse god in this summer’s big-budget Marvel adaptation Thor .
