First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Steven Spielberg’s Eerily Accurate Lincoln

Posted on November 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Steven Spielberg couldn’t be at the AFI Fest premiere of The Adventures of Tintin because he was filming Lincoln in Virginia — and now we know that the Lincoln production process is a completely-effing-serious one. Not only does star Daniel Day-Lewis look remarkable as Lincoln in this new candid photo, but Variety ‘s Jeff Sneider Tweeted a report that he “hasn’t broken his Lincoln accent since March” and his “real name doesn’t even appear on the call sheet.” That is commitment. And insanity. And the new photo will haunt you like a specter in Ford’s Theatre.

Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie Teaser: WTF?

Posted on November 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Let me preface this by saying that I love Tim and Eric’s bizarro-surrealist sketch comedy shtick, and when I write “WTF?” I don’t necessarily mean it in a bad way. It’s just… what else can be said about the new ultra-brief teaser for Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie ? What reactions other than “WTF?” did these evil comic geniuses even intend?

Eddie Redmayne on My Week With Marilyn and the Quest For the Right Role

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

He’s won a Tony Award (for Red ) and held his own onscreen opposite everyone from Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon ( The Good Shepherd ) to Julianne Moore ( Savage Grace ) to Cate Blanchett ( Elizabeth: The Golden Age ). But there’s something about Eddie Redmayne’s role in My Week With Marilyn — as Colin Clark, a glorified film-set gofer mediating the relationship between Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) and her Prince and the Showgirl co-star and director Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) — that hints at just the right screen role at just the right time.

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The New York Film Critics Circle made waves by moving their awards announcement up to November 29 in an effort to claim “First!” but Oscar-watchers have to admit: Between the NYFCC Twitter roll-out and this morning’s Spirit Awards nominations , there’s a crackle in the air on an otherwise slo-o-o-w news day. So what if the New York critics didn’t get a chance to see everything before voting today? They saw Tree of Life ! (Clearly.) Hit the jump for the list of winners.

Bad Movies We Love: Muppets From Space

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Call me a glum frog with a hand flapping up my ass, but I didn’t love The Muppets . Jim Henson’s franchise is about goofy, heartfelt antics, and his whimsy warps into a barrage of Glee tunes, self-conscious dorkiness and perky, perky people under the pen of Jason Segel. It’s a no for me. Luckily, the ’90s already gave us a solid, if stupendously, un -self-consciously dorky Muppets update in the form of Muppets From Space . It’s not exactly a part of the classic Kermit cannon, but that’s because it’s a tangential Henson operation. Think of it as Muppets Origins: Gonzo . Now you’re in.

REVIEW: Michelle Williams Achieves Near-Perfection in Less-Than-Perfect My Week with Marilyn

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There are some movies that have little or nothing to recommend them, except as a frame for a performance. My Week with Marilyn is that kind of movie. Based on writer and documentary filmmaker Colin Clark’s memoir of the time he spent with Marilyn Monroe while working as an assistant to Laurence Olivier on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl , My Week with Marilyn manages to be both slender and overworked, a picture that states over and over again, in the baldest terms, how emotionally fragile Monroe was. We know, we know already. My Week with Marilyn has a TV-biopic sheen, and you could dismiss it easily — except for the fact that Michelle Williams, as Marilyn, both anchors the movie and upends it. Miss it and you’ll miss one of the finest performances of this year.

This Is What Happens When Rappers Review The Muppets

Posted on November 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you’d rather forgo the lengthy critical reviews of this weekend’s The Muppets and instead know whether or not you’ll stay awake during Jason Segel ‘s big-screen revival of Jim Henson’s beloved characters, NextMovie has the video review for you. It features Brooklyn-based rappers M.O.P., who impressively do not mention Segel’s name once but do call out Chris Cooper’s rapping skills (or lack thereof) and compare Miss Piggy to “a not-so-hot Nicki Minaj.” Click through for the fresh, direct and vaguely insulting (to Miss Piggy) take on The Muppets .
