9 November 2009 10:24 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
As we've mentioned previously, November 10th is the release date of the band Flyleaf's new CD, entitled Memento Mori, and to help celebrate the occasion, their bass player, Pat Seals, has taken time out of his hectic schedule to prepare for Dread Central readers a list of his Top Ten favorite horror films.
Nothing relieves the stress of the holidays -- or anything really -- like a good horror flick, and Pat certainly has prepared an eclectic catalog that shows he knows his shit about our genre.
Without further ado, here's Pat's list (click each image to see the full poster):
1. The Addiction (1995) - Dir. Abel Ferrara, Starring Lili Taylor
This is my favorite vampire movie. It is the best. The best. Morality and the darkness of human nature are the focus, and Lili Taylor's performance is brutal. Plus, Christopher Walken waltzes in for a philosophical cameo. The »

French prison movie A Prophet leads the nominations with six entries, including Best Film.

Weekend Recap - 'Precious,' J.J. Abrams, 'Battleship'
9 November 2009 4:14 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Even though A Christmas Carol didn't earn as much money as it was expected to, there was still big box office news over the weekend. The probable Best Picture nominee Precious only played in 18 theaters and still nearly made two million bucks. That's a record.
We're also getting to the end of the decade, which means a lot of lists you're sure to disagree with. And we found one of those on Saturday. Also, Natalie Portman talks about her upcoming Black Swan lesbian scene, and Peter Berg's Battleship might be attacked be...aliens. Sigh/head shake.

9 November 2009 3:24 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jacques Audiard's acclaimed prison drama shortlisted for six awards, including best film, best director and best actor for newcomer Tahar Rahim
The signs all point to Un Prophète (A Prophet) at next month's European film awards. Jacques Audiard's prison-set crime saga leads the field with six nominations, including best film and director. Newcomer Tahar Rahim was also nominated in the best actor category for his breakthrough role as a callow Arab inmate recruited by the Corsican mob.
Un Prophète won the jury prize at this year's Cannes film festival and last week scooped the inaugural best film award at the London film festival. It is released in the UK in January.
But the film faces stiff competition from Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, which bagged a total of five nominations, including best film and best director. Joining the two frontrunners in the race for the crowning best »

Danny Boyle to Tell Mountain Survival Story
8 November 2009 10:01 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Fox Searchlight and director Danny Boyle have worked out a deal for their next collaboration and the anticipated follow-up to Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire.
Titled 127 Hours, the film will tell the survival story of mountain climber Aron Ralston who had his right arm pinned under a rock for five days. He ultimately used a dull knife to amputate the limb and crawl to safety. It’s expected for a late 2010 release, presumably for awards season.
Boyle plans to direct and has already written a treatment, but Slumdog screenwriter Simon Beaufoy will re-team with him to flesh out the script. The director is considering options for Ralston, but so far only Ryan Gosling has been named in rumors, according to Variety.
In an interview with indiewire, Boyle said he wants to shoot the first hour entirely free of dialogue. Ralston was climbing alone during the 2003 incident, so there won’t be any witty exchanges added in. »

‘127 Hours’ Of Silence
8 November 2009 1:17 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
A couple days ago, we brought to you the news that Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle had signed on for his next project, 127 Hours, a film that will tell the true-life story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who spent 5 days trapped by a boulder before finally amputating his own arm.
One big detail of how Boyle will shoot the film has now been revealed, and it’s a fairly daring move on Boyle’s part.
Boyle plans to keep the movie as realistic as possible, which means shooting the first hour entirely free of dialogue, since Ralston was completely alone while trapped. Unlike Castaway, which also followed a character stranded by themselves, 127 Hours will not give the actor cast as Ralston any external monologue or prop to talk to.
Because the first hour will consist of a solitary character and no speaking, it will be a challenging role for whoever is cast in the part. »

10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies
8 November 2009 4:59 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

Boyle's '127 Days' To Have Dialogue-Free Hour
7 November 2009 9:48 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
After about eight or nine months of rumors about what his next project would be, Oscar-winning Best Director Danny Boyle finally signed up for a bio-pic called 127 Hours. It's the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston, who, after being trapped by a boulder for five days, cut off his own arm to escape.
That news came earlier this week, but Boyle gave an update this weekend, and apparently, the first hour of 127 will be dialogue-free. Slashfilm reports that Boyle will lean on Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy for the script, although that process hasn't begun yet.
The no dialogue thing isn't a brand new concept, although for what's probably a two-hour film, having half of it go with no dialogue might be a bit much. Of course, since there's no script yet, we don't know it'll be an entirely silent hour, but it sounds like we're getting an extended period of quiet time no matter what. »

European Film Awards: Un Prophète, Antichrist, The Reader
7 November 2009 2:55 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The EFAs are only 20 years old, a novice awards organization really, but their prizes offer up a rich variety of films, languages and genres. It's truly a grab bag and, if you're too Oscar focused, their prizes can be head scratching. Their 2009 Best Picture Nominees encompass three years worth of U.S. release dates:
(2008) Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In and The Reader(2009) The White Ribbon(2010) Fish Tank and Un Prophète.
Tis a pity we can't bring the world closer together for simultaneous multilingual film discussions.
The Best Director is filled with heavyweights. When will you ever see an Oscar lineup that's this populated with critical giants: Pedro Almodóvar Broken Embraces, Andrea Arnold for Fish Tank, Jacques Audiard for Un Prophete, Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Haneke for The White Ribbon and Lars von Trier for Antichrist. Maybe a lot of what led to these nominations is reputation »

Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours To Have Over An Hour of No Dialogue
7 November 2009 11:44 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
A couple days ago it was reported that Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) had found his next film project, 127 Hours, a story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder for nearly five days. Indiewire had a chance to talk to the filmmaker at the Bafra Brittania Awards, and Boyle confirmed that Slumdog Millionaire writer Simon Beaufoy has not yet started the screenplay, which will be based on Boyle's treatment. But the big news tidbit to come out of the conversation is how he plans to shoot the film. Boyle intends to film the first hour of the movie with no dialogue. In the true life story, Ralston was completely alone, stuck in the canyon. And Boyle will not be introducing any volleyball tricks a la Tom Hanks in Castaway. The film will have ... »

2009 Efa Noms: This Year's Favorite (A Prophet) vs. Last Year's Fave (Slumdog)
7 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- With the film eligibility dates covering portions of two years, the 2009 European Film Awards finds itself in an awkward mode of having a clear favorites from circa 2008 (Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In) go up against cream of the crop from Cannes 2009 (A Prophet, The White Ribbon and Fish Tank). Jacques Audiard's A Prophet leads all nominations with a total of six with Best European Film, Director, Screenwriter, Actor (Tahar Rahim), Cinematography and Sound Design. Slumdog comes in 2nd place with five nominations while the Palme d'or winning The White Ribbon and Broken Embraces are tied with 4 each. The Reader, Fish Tank, Coco Avant Chanel, Antichrist and Let the Right One In have a total of 3 each. For the fun of it, I've placed asterisks next to what I think the winner will be in all of the categories below. So what do you think will and »
