Bad Movies We Love: 54

Posted on February 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

We’ve slaughtered the likes of James Franco , Annette Bening , Natalie Portman , Nicole Kidman , and Christian Bale with the “Bad Movies We Love” treatment, and this week’s Oscar contender up for tickle torture is Mark Ruffalo — who had a slight part in a very slight movie called 54 . Hooray for Mark! Un-hooray for this movie: It takes place at the famous Studio 54 in 1978, but you’ll swear it’s about dressing up for a glowstick party in 1998 (inside a future IKEA ). So get your Andy Warhol wig, your Ryan Phillippe nipples, and your Neve Campbell cry-kisses out of storage. It’s time for the Hustle!

Ed Helms on Cedar Rapids, a ‘Big’ Hangover II Spoiler and Sleeping with Ellen Ripley

Posted on February 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ed Helms is noticeably more anxious than the last time we spoke. In 2009, Helms was promoting his supporting role in a little film The Hangover — a film which you’ll recall went on to become the highest grossing R-rated comedy of all-time. Back then, Helms was just a co-star; now he’s both the lead and executive producer on Cedar Rapids , a Sundance favorite about a mild-mannered insurance man from Wisconsin who heads to Cedar Rapids and has more than a few life-changing experiences. As the saying goes, “What happens in Cedar Rapids, stays in Cedar Rapids.”

To kick off a very special new series of guest Oscar predictions , Movieline consulted British actor Jamie Bell, the star of this week’s The Eagle — and, at the age of 24, veteran of four Oscar-nominated films — to see which films he’s betting on to take home Oscar gold.

5 Better Prince Songs Than ‘Kiss’ for Gwyneth Paltrow and Glee to Cover

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Party over, oops, out of time: Glee is again recruiting Gwyneth Paltrow’s patrician pizazz for an upcoming episode where she’ll cover Prince’s “Kiss” with Matthew Morrison. This proves that the producers of Glee spend eight-to-nine seconds a week thinking of smart song choices. Does Ryan Murphy stick only to decade-topping Billboard hits? I was pleasantly surprised by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll” on Sunday, but otherwise, his selections are as obvious as Rachel Berry’s narcissism. Prince’s catalog provides plenty of opportunity for awesome duets — if only he considered the following five gems for air.

How Would Simon Cowell Actually Critique the Superstars in the New X Factor Promo?

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

One interesting aspect of American Idol ‘s legacy is the angst leveled at contestants who haven’t become Billboard smashes. Is Melinda Doolittle less talented than Kelly Clarkson because she didn’t have a Hot 100 hit? I think not. It takes a certain type of skill set to emerge from a talent competition with untarnished durability (and credibility), and frankly, plenty of our singing superstars wouldn’t have made the leap. Let’s take a look at the new promo for Simon Cowell’s X Factor , which touts plenty of stars who have the all-important “It” factor (including Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga), and see how Simon would appraise them in a regular audition.

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I was stranded on the West Coast when news of composer John Barry’s death broke last week — away from my music collection, which I wanted to get to and remind myself of his vast contribution to movies.

Our own Stephanie Zacharek warned you away from the waterlogged cave-bound 3D cheese that is James Cameron’s (executive-produced Avatar technology-wasting favor-to-a-friend) Sanctum , and she’s not alone: many more esteemed critics made it through the Aussie survival adventure with their spirits, eyeballs, and attention spans barely intact. Some saw Sanctum ‘s terrible B-movie dialogue as amusing unintentional camp; will you be so lucky? Rappel down to the depths of Sanctum ‘s most scathing critiques and survey the rocky terrain ahead.
