The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five

23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Hippie Hippie Shake

Opens: 2010

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby

Director: Beeban Kidron

Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.

Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.

Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

3 Clips from the Season Premiere of Chuck

22 December 2009 11:52 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

With Chuck returning with new episodes on January 10th, NBC has started promoting the show by releasing three clips from the season premiere.  If you’re like me and a huge fan of the show, you’ll enjoy the clips as they showcase Chuck’s new abilities.

*Spoiler Alert* If you missed last season’s finale, it ended with Chuck getting a new version of the intersect that’s fundamentally changed the show.  Now, instead of Chuck helpless against the agents of Fulcrum, he’s going to spend this season as a super spy.  Should be a lot of fun.  Hit the jump for the clips:

And one last bit of great news for fans of Chuck…on January 10th NBC airs two episodes back to back at 9/8c!  Then the following night we get another new episode when the show returns to its regular slot of 8/7c.  The episodes »

Tsr Blog – Christmas Miracle Wishlist …

22 December 2009 8:23 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

By Nick Allen

In Die Hard, a lone cop from New York killed a group of terrorists and saved the lives of hundreds. In Jingle All The Way, a regular dad (Schwarzenegger) learned to fly, and at the same time became a true hero to his son, (who was played by Jake Lloyd!)

Christmastime is the peak season for the miracle business. Here’s some events I’d like to see happen this Friday. If they don’t happen, well, either way I should have enough money to buy that Weezer snuggie I’ve always wanted.

- Reserve Deputy Sheriff Steven Seagal (and On Deadly Ground actor and auteur) arrests FBI’s most wanted, James “Whitey” Bulger, when Seagal’s “police instinct” leads him to a Krispy Kreme. Seagal tazes him first, and then the Michigan native yells in a Bayou tone, “You’re goin’ to tha slamma for a lawwnng time, »

Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels Blu-ray Review

2 December 2009 8:01 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

We’re ten years on in Guy Ritchie’s career, and from all evidence he’s about to turn the corner into pure commercial filmmaking. For most people there’s only one answer to what derailed him, and that is: Madonna. The pre-Madonna years featured Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, the Madonna years featured Swept Away and Revolver, and the post-Madonna’s are now Rocknrolla and Sherlock Holmes, which should be one of the big pictures of 2009. My review of Guy’s Ritchie’s first film after this jump.

Lock, Stock is one of the numerous 90’s crime films to come in the wake of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. It’s a genre that burnt itself out rapidly, with only people like Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie proving themselves above the fray. The majority of the genre was overheated pabulum like Things to Do »

Universal Soldier: Regeneration Trailer With Jcvd

23 November 2009 4:22 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

If Sylvester Stallone’s tribute to ’80s action movies with his movie The Expendables wasn’t enough for you, then you absolutely must watch this trailer for Universal Soldier: Regeneration.

Yes, you read that right.  Jean-Claude Van Damme may have turned down a role to play along with Stallone and friends and his star-studded action fest, but he and Dolph Lundgren still get to party in this third installment to their Universal Soldier franchise. I say “their” because there were two made-for-tv sequels to the first Universal Soldier that starred Matt Battaglia as the title character (making this the fifth Universal Soldier film).

Check out the trailer after the jump.

 

The last time we got treated to Jcvd suiting up as Luc Deveraux was a decade ago in 1999’s Universal Soldier: The Return and although this movie is ridiculous -- they’re threatening to blow up Chernobyl -- I was smiling while watching the trailer. »

Jones Embroiled In $205,000 Tax Row

19 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

British tough guy Vinnie Jones is embroiled in a tax probe over an alleged $205,000 (£128,000) debt.

The actor's company, Vinnie Jones Enterprises Ltd, is said to owe the amount in unpaid taxes from 2006 to 2009. The case has been handed to London's High Court.

Jones, the firm's only director, has not been declared personally responsible for the debt as he has limited liability - but liquidators have demanded a meeting with him to establish why the bill was not paid.

The Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels star may be forced to pay up if investigators discover he acted improperly, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

Tax officials are preparing to seize any assets owned by the company, set up in 1999 as an "artistic and literary" venture.

Liquidator Ian Defty says, "It's our duty to investigate the activities of Vinnie Jones, the causes for the failure and to seek recovery of any assets." »

Art World Bares its Soul in Adam Goldberg’s Superlative ‘(Untitled)’

6 November 2009 8:57 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – One of the best and most exciting surprises of the 2009 film year is a smaller, claustrophobic film starring Adam Goldberg and set in the art gallery world of New York City. “(Untitled)” is an honest, uncompromising character study.

Rating: 5.0/5.0

Taking its name from the practice of inscribing artwork with no label at all, (Untitled) involves three people, two who are practicing artists and one who owns a small Soho art gallery. Adrian (Adam Goldberg) is a composer of atonal symphonies – think using buckets and chains for sounds instead of harmonics – and although recognized as a significant craftsman he still needs to supplement his living by providing piano atmosphere in a haughty bistro.

His brother Josh (Eion Bailey) is a “successful” artist, having found a niche market selling his works to decorate hotel lobbies and corporate hallways. He is the biggest income generator for Madeleine (a revelatory Marley Shelton), who »
