Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel Are Just As Confused by Their New Film as You Are

Posted on September 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The synopsis of Precious screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher’s feature directing debut Violet and Daisy sounds straightforward enough: “A brutal fable about a pair of teenage assassins, played by Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel, who believe they’ve landed a straightforward assignment but soon find themselves thrown off their game when their latest target isn’t who they expected.” Evidently, however, that’s not quite what its audience — or even its stars themselves, for that matter — seemed to take away from its Toronto Film Festival premiere.

No, Megan Fox Has Not Seen Transformers 3

Posted on September 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you’ve been wondering whether Megan Fox, the Transformers bombshell who dared to compare director Michael Bay to Hitler, has seen Dark of the Moon after being replaced by pouty pin-up Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the answer is no. “I haven’t seen it yet, but I will see it,” Fox told Moviefone. “I mean, if they hadn’t been hitting me so hard on the press tour, I would have gone to the theater. I love Shia to death; I love him unconditionally. And I love that crew. I want to see it for them. I know it looked amazing in the trailer.” [ Moviefone ]

Photo Booth: Portraits from the 2011 Toronto Film Fest

Posted on September 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Child actors all grown up, Oscar-winning directors popping their collars, stars going silly for the camera — anything goes when you stick actors and filmmakers in the studio for some good, old-fashioned family-style portraits. See who came to town for the 2011 Toronto Film Festival and gave good face for the camera, uberdramatic, super goofy, and otherwise, in Movieline’s TIFF 2011 Photo Booth .

Letter from Toronto: Coppola’s Twixt Is Stubborn Old-Coot Filmmaking; Stillman’s Damsels Hardly Dazzles

Posted on September 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt is kind of stupid and kind of amazing, a horror movie-fairytale hybrid with an inscrutable plot, some gorgeous images and two brief sections shot in 3-D. This isn’t the great film Coppola’s devotees have been waiting for him to make. But it’s infused with more of Coppola’s spirit, as we know it, than Youth Without Youth and Tetro , both of which were sluggish and self-serious. Twixt is a bit of a mess, but it’s also joyful and wicked, with a great, roly-poly sense of humor about itself. In its imaginative WTF -ness, it reminds me of Bob Dylan’s gloriously whacked-out Masked and Anonymous , just the sort of thing you’d expect a crackpot genius left to his own devices to make.

Letter from Toronto: Woody Harrelson Disarms in Rampart; Sokurov Gets Wiggy with Faust

Posted on September 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Occasionally, a movie is more interesting for where it doesn’t go than for where it does. Oren Moverman’s Rampart , starring Woody Harrelson as a disgraced (and obviously dirty) LAPD cop, is one of those pictures. It’s more of a character study than a conventionally shaped drama — I was taken aback when the end credits started rolling, momentarily left with that “Is that all there is?” feeling. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed that the movie ended in just the right place, taking us as far as we can go with this loose-cannon cop before he’s left to face his own isolation. Once we, the audience, part ways with him, he’s truly on his own.
