Posted on February 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Adam Sandler, that patron saint of scathing critical responses , returns to the multiplex this weekend with bad review magnet Jennifer Aniston in Just Go With It , a romantic comedy about a plastic surgeon who lies about being married to sleep with younger women. As if the trailers or that premise didn’t warn you enough to stay away — shockingly, the film is based on the 1969 film Cactus Flower , co-starring Walter Matthau and Goldie Hawn, which itself was based on a French play — the nation’s best and brightest critical minds have come up with a variety of flowery ways to tell you to how much it sucks eggs.

Startin’ here, startin’ now, honey everything’s coming up Portman!

The 9 Batsh*t-Craziest Lines Heard at the Hobo with a Shotgun Premiere

Posted on January 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Let’s tear this place apart!” So instructed director Jason Eisener before Friday’s midnight premiere of Hobo with a Shotgun , the unabashedly campy Canadian-American grindhouse flick about a homeless drifter who cleans up the streets of a depraved urban metropolis with only a pawn shop shotgun and plenty of gloriously insane death-dealing catchphrases in his arsenal. And while it may have disappointed Eisener and Co. that an actual riot didn’t erupt before or after their film, they must have been pleased that Hobo played exactly right to just the genre-loving crowd it was made for.

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

Posted on January 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

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 .

Watch the Only Remaining Video From Quentin Tarantino’s Directorial (and Acting) Debut

Posted on January 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Back in the late 80’s (as so many good stories start), Quentin Tarantino made a 70-minute film called My Best Friend’s Birthday while still shocking shelves at a Manhattan Beach video shop. As legend has it (as so many other good stories start), a fire destroyed half of the black and white picture — in which Tarantino played a disc jockey named Clarence who tries to do a few nice things for his buddy’s birthday — leaving just 36 minutes of the Pulp Fiction director’s first feature. And now, for what it’s worth, you can watch the entire project after the jump.

They’re really sad! Let’s have a look at Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Christopher Plummer and the rest of this dour, serious bunch. Cheer up, gang! There are paychecks waiting for you!

9 More Directors Who Should Shoot Their Next Film on an iPhone

Posted on January 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

News recently broke that acclaimed Old Boy director Park Chan-Wook shot his new thirty minute horror film on an iPhone. The film, Paranmanjang , had a $130,000 budget and will be released in nine cinemas nationwide. Yep, welcome to 2011! Sure, Chan-Wook is a solid filmmaker and it may be interesting to see how he handles an iPhone movie, but all the same I’d prefer that great filmmakers not get in the habit of shooting movies on cell phones. But since trends seem to operate independent of my opinion, it’s always good to take a look at the silver lining. With that in mind, here are nine major filmmakers who might actually benefit from making their next film on an iPhone.
