Yes Man (Peyton Reed, 2008)

10am, 8pm, Sky Movies Premiere

Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.

The Golden Compass (Chris Weitz, 2007)

11.40am, 8pm, Sky Movies Family

What with Harry Potter, Narnia, Lemony Snicket and all, »

Chock Full Of Spock

4 May 2009 6:47 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »

The arrival of "Star Trek" signals the start of blockbuster season (in our orbit, "Wolverine" doesn't count), and the indie world wastes no time with responding in kind with a few big name players of its own.

"Adoration"

Atom Egoyan landed himself a Palme d'Or nomination at last year's Cannes for the latest of his patented multi-stranded narratives of introspection, this one a meditation on the marginalization of truth and the role of technology in the post-9/11 mindset. Devon Bostick stars as Simon, an orphaned student whose class assignment translating a newspaper article about the would-be martyrdom of a pregnant woman has personal ramifications when he writes a fictionalized op-ed from the perspective of the now-grown child that takes on a life of its own once it hits the web.

Opens in New York and Los Angeles. »

Poster 1st Look: Erick Zonca's Julia

1 April 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- We've been waiting for this one for a while now, especially when you consider that Erick Zonca's last film was 1999's Le Petit Voleur. Inspired by John Cassavetes' 1980 film, Gloria - Julia, featuring one of the best thesps in the biz in Tilda Swinton, sees the actress play a 40 year-old seductress, who finds it increasingly difficult to hide her alcoholism and ends up out of her depth. An alcoholic, Julia gets by on nickel-and-dime jobs sandwiched between shots of vodka and one-night stands. Increasingly lonely, her alcohol-induced confusion only reinforces her sense that life has dealt her a losing hand, and her certainty that she is not to blame for the mess she has made of it. When an opportunity to quickly make a substantial amount of money presents itself, Julia jumps at the chance and commits a desperate act. As the repercussions spiral beyond her control, »

Signatures: Gena Rowlands

7 March 2009 12:08 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Adam of Club Silencio here with another look at my favorite actresses and their distinguishing claims to fame.

Lush is a perfect word to describe Gena Rowlands. Such is her screen talent, but she also often plays characters who've taken to the bottle. Her glorious drunken musings in Minnie and Moskowitz, her solo night out in A Woman Under the Influence, her bar detour in Gloria; Gena's got a gift for going it soused. She certainly knows well to hide behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

Gena's under the influence of something no doubt. At her peak level of punch-drunk in Opening Night, it's a wonder to drink in Gena's hard-hitting disintegration as stage-legend Myrtle Gordon. It's the way she feels out her environments as she disconnects more and more with each tip of the glass. Those subtle tipsy stumbles as her eyebrows peak and droop with every tug off the bottle. »
