The SAG nominees: Why they chose the wrong actress from 'Inglourious Basterds'

19 December 2009 9:48 AM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

I thought the Screen Actors Guild showed more or less impeccable taste in their nominations this year (though for Best Cast, how could they have possibly forsaken the sublimely acted Up in the Air…and picked the hot warblers of Nine instead?). So in drawing attention to one performer, in particular, whom they left out of the Best Supporting Actress category, I solemnly promise you that I won't exploit the s-word. (I'll at least say it out loud once: snub.) What I will note is that this particular omission is worth talking about, if only because I flat-out adore this »

LL Cool J, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kiss lead the list of first-time nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2010.

The nominees also include such first-timers as long-running rock act Genesis, reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, early rock band the Hollies and singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. According to a press release from the Rock Hall, the 12-member nominee class has some repeat offenders as well, including disco diva Donna Summer, girl-group icons Darlene Love and the Chantels, 1970s pop superstars Abba and punk godfathers the Stooges (hoping the eighth time will be the charm).

After last year's ceremony returned to the Cleveland site of the Hall for the first time in 12 years to mark the induction of Metallica, »

Our Favorite Montages: Scarface

29 August 2009 1:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

There are plenty of different kinds of montages in the language of film, and they can fill you in on everything from the emotional state of your characters to a wacky makeover. So while a good montage sequence will explain everything you need to know in the most economical way possible, one of my favorite kinds is the "Rise to Power" montage -- which brings me to Scarface. I love Brian De Palma's crime opus for so many reasons, but I think when it comes to the art of the montage, I have a soft spot for cheese -- and it doesn't get much more pungent than Giorgio Moroder, the patron saint of 80's movie music.

By the time the power chords of Moroder and Paul Engemann's Push it To The Limit kicks in, we've already been watching Tony Montana work his way up the criminal ladder and »

Top Ten Tuesday: Best Horror Remakes

25 August 2009 2:14 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

In case you haven’t noticed, Hollywood loves a good remake.  New ideas don’t have to be dealt with, audiences converge on the theaters simply due to name recognition, and studios can kick back and gather up the proceeds. Horror remakes, in particular, have been a staple of the film industry for years. Recently, this trend has gotten out of hand, and, many times, the resultant film is less than desirable. There are, however, a few remakes here and there that are acceptable. Some, in fact, are even better than the original. In honor of Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween II’ hitting theaters this week, we thought it was time to look at some of these horror remakes that stand out from the crowd.

10. Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931)

When thinking about horror remakes, one rarely ever goes back to the vintage, Universal, horror movies of the ’30s.  However, believe it or not, »

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Inglorious Bastards’ Gets A Soundtrack

15 May 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Is there anyone out there in the world who doesn’t like a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack? No need to raise your hands; just stop reading and move on to the next post if you’re one of those fun-hating mutants. This isn’t going to be big news for you.

For the legion of Tarantino fans who are still reading, get excited. Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards,” set to hit theaters on August 21, now has an *official* soundtrack. The listing is in French, as it comes to us via an informational Pdf posted on the Cannes Film Festival website. I’ve copied it here and filtered out the extraneous information the best that I could, but the truly curious should proceed directly to the “Inglorious Bastards” press page on the Cannes Film Festival website.

What Inglourious Music Will The Basterds Be Put To?

15 May 2009 11:31 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

So far, what we’ve gotten from Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Inglourious Basterds film have been numerous posters, images and actual footage (including a wicked first trailer). Well, those are all really cool, but one thing we haven’t gotten to know up until this point is the soundtrack for the film - a trademark of Tarantino’s movies in and of itself.

Today, thanks to AICN, we have a soundtrack listing for Inglourious Basterds, something any Tarantino fan should be excited to see. The list is from a press release at Cannes, so logically it’s in French. However, the song titles and artists can be read okay, check out the list below:

 

The Green Leaves of Summer

De Dimitri Tiomkin The Verdict

(Dopo la condanna)

David Savage Remembers The Under-rated "Foxes" (1980)

19 February 2009 5:16 PM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »

Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4  

Unlike the high school hellcats twenty years before them, tossing globes out of classroom windows and firing on police officers (see High School Confidential), Foxes (1980), is a portrait of teenage torpor at the dawn of the Eighties. These jaded teens, led by Jodie Foster, would rather pop a ‘lude and put on a Boston LP.

Examining the loosely woven friendship between four high school girls in the San Fernando Valley, each with typical problems of her age – and therefore seemingly insurmountable – Foxes looks at how each personality type copes with life, sex and parents, all of whom are divorced and too busy trying to find themselves rather than guide their children through the rockiest period of their lives.

Released between two movies that became classics of the L.A. High School genre, Rock ‘n Roll High School (1979) and Fast Times at Ridgemont »
