Revisit the JFK Assassination with a New Errol Morris Short

Posted on November 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 48 years ago today in Dallas, Texas, prompting what would become the biggest single market in conspiracy theories until 9/11. Many of them came bundled in such staggeringly ambitious work as Oliver Stone’s JFK , Don DeLillo’s Libra , and Josiah “Tink” Thompson’s exhaustive Zapruder film study Six Seconds in Dallas — the latter of which filmmaker and Movieline favorite Errol Morris reconnects with today for an intriguing new short exploring the legend of that fateful day’s “Umbrella Man.”

Posted on November 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Watch as George Clooney talks about Gregory Peck and his uncle, the late Oscar winner José Ferrer, and Payne recalls wise words from a kooky Czech stage actor.

Muppets PR Blitz Vamps On with Twilight Parody Posters

Posted on November 15, 2011 by | Leave a comment

We’ve seen enough satirical Muppets promo material to last us through the next hundred Muppet sequels, but I have to hand it to the tireless Disney merchants for their newest gag: a Twilight Saga spoof. The Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog posters are expected, but it’s the third, Lautner-ian one-sheet that left me speechless. The pun is also first-rate.

Hunger Games Trailer: Jennifer Lawrence Volunteers, Woody Harrelson Wigs Out

Posted on November 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Lionsgate debuted its trailer for The Hunger Games today, purposely only teasing the hyper-anticipated film’s first half so as to preserve all the surprises of the, uh, bestselling book series. Anyway, that’s fine: If you’re new to the story, this set’s up Gary Ross’s adaptation pretty well: Jennifer Lawrence is Katniss. Josh Hutcherson is Peeta. And Woody Harrelson is Haymitch — or some Halloween simulacrum thereof. Click on through and have a look.

Safe Trailer: Jason Statham Kicks Ass, Boasts About His Balls

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In the new Jason Statham thriller Safe , which comes out on the Oscar-unfriendly date of March 2, our gritty hero must protect a 12-year-old girl who can “memorize anything.” Would you beat up a bunch of trained hoodlums to protect a preteen with savant tendencies? Is memorization that necessary a skill anymore? I would just buy an almanac or a flash drive and let the girl fend for herself. But Jason chose differently! Click through for the trailer’s carnage and some of Statham’s old-fashioned testicle touting.
