Films Of The Decade – Ed’s List
23 December 2009 5:17 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Each decade of celluloid is defined by its psychological preoccupations. Oh yes it is, don’t look at me like that. The 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington cast a long shadow over the first decade of the 21st century. The Nineties had been a relatively stable and optimistic era by comparison and was all the more moribund for it. Tom Sizemore’s speech in Katherine Bigelow’s Strange Days (1995) summed up the emerging consensus – “everything’s been done, every kind of music’s been tried, every government’s been tried, every fuckin’ hairstyle. How you gonna make it another thousand years, for Chrissake?”
But it wasn’t quite the end of history after all. After 9/11 the zeitgeist became politically-charged once more as it had been in more polarised times. Entertainment was not immune from this effect, nor could it afford to be. With rare exceptions such as Paul Greengrass »

Boos! & Whoop-doos!: 12 Months of Toilet Plunkers and Dumpster Diamonds!
23 December 2009 9:55 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The End of 2009? Whoop-doo! This year has been one hellatious shit storm from the get-go. Pregnant ladies and babies, The Great Depression Part II, pig flu, more than a handful of horrible shootings, a balloon boy, Tiger's indiscretions, and our first black president. Not to mention more dead celebrities than I can shake a stick at. Every time I turned around, some other atrocious calamity was happening right before my eyes. Making 2009 one of the most interesting years of this entire decade. According to Michael Ruppert in his film Collapse its only going to get worse before it gets better. Yes, the Teens are going to see more than half of your friends and family dead. Take account of the folks around you. By the time 2020 rears its ugly head, most of these people will be gone. Turned to dust and painful memories. My advice to you this coming New Year? »
Movie News Wrap Up: December 21, 2009
21 December 2009 3:47 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
Avatar might be blue,but it sees green; Wild Hogs 2 runs out of gas; Bruce Willis sees Red in October; Steven Spielberg saddles up a War Horse and Segal joins a Neighborhood Watch.
Box Office
We all knew that it was going to happen – James Cameron’s Avatar snagged the top spot at the box office and banked a heavy $73 million. The gross is impressive considering that the weather in North America was terrible over the weekend. Factoring in foreign grosses the film has now scored over $232 million – if the legs are good, this could be Cameron’s second billion dollar grosser.
The Princess and the Frog had to settle for the runner-up spot. The film dipped just under 50% for a $12.5 million total. The total gross for the Disney film is now $44 million, with $100 million still an option.
America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock was in the third spot with The Blind Side. »

Director Todd Phillips Promises More Justin Bartha, Less Las Vegas in 'Hangover' Sequel
17 December 2009 8:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
For years, Todd Phillips –- arguably the best comedy director in the business right now whose name doesn’t rhyme with Bud Apatow -– was pestered by fanboys and film writers alike trying to get the deets on “Old School 2.” Now, the good news is that people seem to have finally stopped asking about a sequel to the Will Ferrell/Vince Vaughn/Luke Wilson hard-partying hit; the bad news, however, is that it’s because they’re all asking for the latest on the sequel to this past summer’s Bradley Cooper/Ed Helms/Zach Galifianakis hard-partying hit.
“Right now we’re figuring all that stuff out,” the affable Phillips responded this week when asked about a second installment of “The Hangover,” which hits DVD and Blu-Ray this week. “Don’t put me on the spot.”

Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal no longer down on the farm
16 December 2009 7:29 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »
As is often the case, the persistent rumors of a Hollywood split are spot on.
The Dish Rag will call them 'trumors.'
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are no longer down on the farm. Although there has been -- and probably will never be -- an official confirmation from their camps.
It's been reported on various celebrity news and gossip sites that the relationship ended amicably.
But it was hard to believe since Reese bragged in October to InStyle that she and Jake spent weekends together at her farmhouse in Ojai where they had chickens, and grew tomatoes and cucumbers and Jake talked gushingly about learning so much from the kids in his life.
Sure sounded picture perfect.
Now we hear that they did end their relationship a few weeks ago. Sounds like these two ended their relationship as quietly and privately as they began it, on the set of "Rendition. »

'The Hangover' Arrives On Home Video To Golden Globe Noms And An Increasingly Busy Cast
15 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Before "The Hangover" became one of the biggest success stories of 2009, it was just a Warner Bros. comedy starring that guy who cheats from "He's Just Not That Into You," the dude from "The Office," and some short, fat guy with a beard.
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis weren't putting all their eggs in one basket, because I'm fairly certain none of them expected "The Hangover" to gross over $459 million in the worldwide box office. In fact, the stars of "The Hangover" have been some of the busiest guys around Hollywood over the past year. Here's a look at what else they've been up to since "The Hangover" hit theaters in June -- beyond, of course, preparing for 2011's "The Hangover 2."
Though Bradley Cooper surprised audiences and critics with his comedic chops in "The Hangover," he chose not to return to the bro-comedy formula. Cooper's »

The 15 Worst Movies of the Decade
14 December 2009 2:58 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There were a lot of bad movies released during the past decade. That’s not anything that distinguishes the aughts from any other decade before it, but then most of these movies were bad in the usual, torturous ways. There is, of course, a lot of room for debate over these picks and readers should be aware that for my own sanity (sorry Rob Schneider), I purposefully skipped many top contenders. Without further ado, in descending order, our worst 15: The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) I’m not a fan of movies about really stupid people behaving stupidly, and that’s all that happens in this smoldering pile of TV adapted junk. Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott indulge their worst instincts in a laugh free assemblage of moronic Southern stereotypes and car crashes that’s like a horrible, Z grade 80s comedy nightmare come to life. It’s even got Burt Reynolds. Lady in the Water »

Updates Fox Executive In Talks With Universal Exactly what Debbie Liebling did, or didn't do, on her resume has become the latest parlor game in Hollywood. But why in the world is Vince Vaughn being quoted in a Universal press release? (Unless having a vanity deal there suddenly includes allowing self-involved actors to pretend to be studio execs.) Universal City, CA, December 10, 2009 — Universal Pictures Co-Chairman Donna Langley today announced that Debbie Liebling has been hired as President of Production for Universal. Liebling, who currently serves as Executive Vice President of Production at 20th Century Fox, will report to Langley. [...] »

Jennifer Aniston Is To Play Adam Sandler’s Wife
9 December 2009 10:01 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘Baster’ actress is reportedly in negotiations to star opposite the ‘Happy Gilmore’ actor in romantic comedy ‘The Pretend Wife’ – formerly known as ‘Holiday In Hawaii’ - though plot details are being kept firmly under wraps. Adam’s long-term collaborator Dennis Dugan is expected to direct the movie, which is scheduled for release in February 2011, while Happy Madison is producing. Jennifer – who was married to Brad Pitt and dated a host of famous men, including John Mayer and Vince Vaughn – has previously admitted she wants to be more selective in her movie roles because the storylines seem to come true in her personal life. She joked earlier this year: “I’m trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in.

Best of the Decade #15: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
9 December 2009 6:29 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Of all the movies that will appear on this list, I have to believe this choice will be the most controversial, as comedy is perhaps the most subjective of all genres. There are dozens of other similarly styled comedies from the '00s which also succeeded at the box office, and our individual lists may actually rank some of them higher. However, for a consensus list, it is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy that stands tall. Will Ferrell has to be one of the main reason Anchorman sticks out when choosing a comedy to represent the '00s. While he (and many others) eventually went through a backlash, there is no question in my mind that Will’s legacy will be as the actor most associated with comedy in the 00s, and Anchorman is his calling card. Of note is the endless roster of '00s comedy bigwigs in »

[DVD Review] Four Christmases
3 December 2009 1:45 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Taking a full year to make its DVD and Blu-ray debut, Four Christmases proves to be as confusing a holiday release in 2009 as it was in 2008. Even if the name “Four Christmases” leads you to believe the film will make for good Christmas Eve viewing, you’d be wrong. Its name begs for a mid-November release but its actual plot makes it suitable for release in any month of the year, because it’s not really about Christmas at all. It’s about a relationship and how spending time with your family and the family of your significant other offers insight into how they’ve become the person they are. The fact that the events of these films take place around Christmas is a fluke, any major holiday would suffice.

Pass notes No 2,694: Jason Bourne
2 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Director Paul Greengrass has pulled out of the next Bourne movie. Will star Matt Damon follow?
Age: 39.
Appearance: For the moment, he looks exactly like the actor Matt Damon.
What a tremendous coincidence. Not really. Damon has played the fictional former CIA assassin, the main character in a series of novels by Robert Ludlum, on screen in three films: The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.
Didn't see them. Any good? All three were critically acclaimed and commercially successful, particularly the latter two, directed by Paul Greengrass. Jason Bourne was heralded as James Bond's successor.
Well, then – they should make some more. They are – a fourth film is due to be released in 2011 — but sadly Greengrass won't be directing.
How come? It's "simply about feeling the call for a different challenge", said Greengrass. "There's been no disagreement with Universal Pictures."
There has, though, hasn't there? I can »
Four Christmases DVD Review
2 December 2009 7:18 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Pop quiz: what’s big, bloated and rapidly losing comic edge? If you guessed Vince Vaughn, you’re close. But instead of ripping on Vaughn, the man, let’s pick on his films: a steady stream of increasingly mediocre “comedies” of which Four Christmases falls perfectly in line. Gone are the days when Vaughn acted in smarter comic fare like Swingers and The Wedding Crashers. Now he seems perfectly willing to act in any witless big studio offering. (In fact, between this and Fred Clause, he’s basically cornered the market on non-classic holiday entertainment). The thing is Vaughn, the man, is so damn likable (well, I like him), that audiences are willing to fork over big money for these movies. Maybe Vaughn signs on board these lukewarm scripts because he believes he can save them with his improvisational comic riffs. Unfortunately, not even his skill at that can save this Christmas. »

Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal split? People and Us Weekly disagree!
30 November 2009 6:54 AM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »
If you believe People magazine, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split up.
They quote an unnamed source "close to the actress."
But Us Weekly begs to differ. Their story today insists that "Contrary to reports elsewhere Sunday, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have not broken up."
And a rep for Witherspoon tells Usmagazine.com: "It's not true. They have not split."
Who do you believe: an unnamed source or Witherspoon's rep?
Gosh, we'll take the rep any day. Because they never protect their clients, right?
