Choo-Choo! Here Comes a Killer Adaptation of Anna Karenina!

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Lionsgate just announced that Joe Wright, the director of Pride & Prejudice and Atonement , will helm a new adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina written by Tom Stoppard (who wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay of Shakespeare in Love , as well as countless revered plays). I think we’re owed an oversize Tolstoy treat in 2011, don’t you? We can’t subsist on The Last Station for much longer. And wait until you hear who’s set to star.

REVIEW: Allegory Alert! John Sayles’ Amigo Riffs on American Imperialism

Posted on August 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The first American voice that is heard in Amigo , John Sayles’s ponderous cine-play set during the U.S. occupation of the Philippines at the turn of the 19th century, rips through the air with the brutal dissonance of an artillery shell. The torqued South Carolina accent of actor Brian Lee Franklin — cursing out the country’s “little monkeys” — announces the arrival of an American squadron in the tiny Philippine “baryo” where they and Amigo remain for the next two hours. Along with an introductory crack about “hearts and minds” made by squad Lieutenant Compton (Garret Dillahunt), that private’s twanging epithet puts the audience on Code Orange allegory alert.

Ryan Kwanten on Griff the Invisible and Embracing His Inner Misfit Superhero

Posted on August 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Somehow, despite his chiseled good looks, his True Blood fame, and the glut of comic book movies in Hollywood these days, 34-year-old Ryan Kwanten hadn’t yet played a superhero until now. And the one he does play — the only one that’s interested him, he says — comes in this week’s small-scale Australian indie Griff the Invisible , in which the erstwhile Jason Stackhouse plays a mild-mannered, socially-awkward geek by day and vigilante crime fighter by night.

Who Has the Oscar-Worthiest Anger in These New Carnage Pics?

Posted on August 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The four-actor cast of Roman Polanski’s Carnage (Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz) is an Oscar-friendly bunch: Together they’ve acquired 12 nominations in their collective careers, four wins, and enough actorly cred to warrant accolades for the rest of their lives. In new stills from Carnage — which is based on Yasmina Reza’s Tony award winning play — the esteemed quartet grimaces and smirks like their director just made an off-color joke about Valley of the Dolls . Who’s facial expressions deserve the Oscar most?
