At Tribeca: Alex Gibney Talks Catching Hell and the Mystery of Steve Bartman

Posted on April 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you’re the type of person who thinks sports don’t mean anything, direct your attention to Steve Bartman. On the morning of Oct. 14, 2003, Bartman was an anonymous 26-year-old Chicago Cubs fan; hours later, he would get blamed for costing his beloved team a chance to go to the World Series. Over the weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival, Oscar winner Alex Gibney debuted Catching Hell , his in-depth look at all things Bartman, save one thing: Steve Bartman.

The Freakonomics Trailer; Or, How Many Documentarians Does It Take to Make a Movie?

Posted on August 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The key tenet to Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner’s best-selling book series Freakonomics is that incentive makes the world go ’round. So what are the incentives for you to see a documentary based their writings? Well, there are six actually: Morgan Spurlock ( Super Size Me ), Eugene Jarecki ( Why We Fight ), Alex Gibney ( Taxi to the Dark Side ), Seth Gordon ( King of Kong ), and Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady ( Jesus Camp ).

The Verge: Ezra Miller

Posted on April 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Maybe it’s coincidence that Ezra Miller had two films premiere over the weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival, where City Island — his film currently playing in theaters — won the audience award in 2009. But it’s no accident, either. Since his 2008 screen debut in the harrowing prep-school drama Afterschool , the 17-year-old actor has built a reputation behind the scenes for fearlessness, intensity, comic chops, and holding his own against alpha-castmates like Andy Garcia, Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt. And coming soon: Tilda Swinton.

Interview: Johnny Knoxville and Co. on Bringing BMX Power to Tribeca

Posted on April 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that nearly 25 years into his pioneering career as the world’s most influential, ambitious and successful BMX athletes, Mat Hoffman didn’t have a film made about him until now. Perhaps harder still to believe: That it would take Jackass partners in crime Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine to finally get it done.

How Totally Random are This Year’s Tribeca Film Festival Juries?

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Answer: Pretty totally random! Tribeca today sent over a release announcing 35 jurors for its 2010 festival, ranging from Oscar winners to a Twitter co-founder to a State Department member to Jessica Alba, Zach Braff Aaron Eckhart, and Alicia Keys — in no particular order, and not quite where you’d likely expect them to show up. It hardly seems right that they’d snub Movieline’s distinguished staff on our birthday , but there’s always next year. Speaking for myself, I’d give up a chair for Brooke Shields or America Ferrera any day. The rest, though… you really must see it to believe it.
