Javier Bardem Officially in the Best Actor Race as Biutiful Gets U.S. Distribution

Posted on August 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

And you thought Javier Bardem would have to rely on his postage-required performance in Eat, Pray, Love to get into the Oscar race in 2011. Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment have acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Biutiful , the latest film from Alejandro González Iñárritu, and will release it in December. When the film premiered at Cannes, Movieline called Bardem’s performance one of the ” finest of his career .” Perhaps he should start picking out a tuxedo sooner rather than later.

Stacking Jack & Jill Up Against the Fake Adam Sandler Movies in Funny People

Posted on August 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The news that Katie Holmes — and, apparently, Al Pacino!? — has been cast in Adam Sandler’s Jack & Jill came as a bit of a shock this morning… if only because it means Jack & Jill still exists. This is the movie that was announced last year with Sandler tapped to play “twin siblings at odds during Thanksgiving.” Seriously? Seriously. If that sounds like the pitch to one of the fake Sandler films from Judd Apatow’s Funny People , that’s probably because it might be. Ahead, Movieline pits Jack & Jill against the oeuvre of George Simmons.

Movieline Graph: Does Michael Cera Really Play the Same Role in Every Movie?

Posted on August 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

When did it go wrong for Michael Cera? Once upon a time, he was the hippest comic actor in the room, yet to judge from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World box office, the audience has turned on him. The most common complaint is that Cera too often plays himself (literally, in the case of Paper Heart ), so to judge that claim’s validity, Movieline has assembled a graph of Cera’s most frequent filmic characteristics.

Posted on August 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Heather McDonald, the Chelsea Lately comedienne affectionately nicknamed “Long Boobs,” spoke with Movieline recently and played our game for cinephiles, “My Favorite Scene.” Wouldn’t you know it, the saucy panelist chose a moment of deliriously dirty sex.

James Cameron on His Long-Lost Music Video and Falling in Love with Kathryn Bigelow

Posted on August 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last Thursday, I had a lengthy, terrific interview with James Cameron in advance of the special edition of Avatar (rereleased to theaters August 27), and all this week, Movieline will bring you pieces of that wide-ranging talk. At the end of my conversation with James Cameron, was there any way I could let him go without asking him about “Reach,” the only music video he ever directed? The deliciously surreal 1988 clip was made for Bill Paxton’s band Martini Ranch , and not only did it feature frequent Cameron collaborators like Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, and Lance Henriksen, but it starred filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow as a sexy cowboy one year before Cameron married her, three years before they divorced, and twenty-two years before Bigelow won the Best Director Oscar over Cameron for The Hurt Locker .

Now Playing: Stephanie Zacharek’s Video Review of The Switch

Posted on August 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s one of five films opening in a congested late-summer dumping grounds — but is that really the fate the Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman comedy The Switch deserves? To hear Movieline’s chief film critic Stephanie Zacharek tell it in her latest video review, Bateman alone is reason not to sweep this one under the August rug. Take it away, Stephanie!

Harry Knowles Returns From Bi-Curious Brink With Overheated Piranha 3D Review

Posted on August 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

From Vampires Suck to Social Network and now Piranha 3D , it’s All-Critic Day at Movieline! But Harry Knowles deserves it: While we may never know what inspired his highly sexualized, homoerotically charged Eclipse review , he’s pretty unambiguous about Alexandre Aja’s skin-baring, bloodletting J.O. fantasia, starting with the headline: “If Harry were in High School & PIRANHA 3D were on HBO… I woulda ruined alot of socks to this.” Nice. Enjoy? Or something. [ AICN ]

Movieline Interview Flashback: Director Amir Bar-Lev On What You See (and What You Don’t) In The Tillman Story

Posted on August 19, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Back at Sundance, I talked to director Amir Bar-Lev about his powerful documentary The Tillman Story, and now that the film is coming out in limited release, Movieline is republishing that very candid interview. Of particular note in this conversation? Bar-Lev’s excoriation of General Stanley McChrystal (a key figure involved with the Pat Tillman cover-up), who’s since been let go by President Obama following McChrystal’s unflattering comments about the administration in Rolling Stone.

Just When Exactly Will Tree of Life Get Released? Vote in Movieline’s Poll!

Posted on August 19, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The word from Indiewire’s Todd McCarthy is that Terrence Malick’s oft-delayed Tree of Life is delayed once again: “I’m convinced we won’t be seeing The Tree of Life until, at the earliest, the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. Or perhaps it could turn up at the New York Film Festival a year from now.” Or perhaps when hell freezes over; bear in mind, this film was supposed to come out last year . Between Malick’s infamous perfectionism and the financial woes of Apparition , Tree of Life seems caught in a perfect storm of inertia. So when will it finally get released? Click ahead to vote in Movieline’s patented Tree of Life release date poll.
