The Decade: Film's 10 Best Music Moments In The Aughts
24 November 2009 5:43 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The Doors and Apocalypse Now. Simon and Garfunkel and The Graduate. Richard Strauss and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Some of the greatest scenes in cinema history would be nothing without their added soundtracks. What if Tarantino had used "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath instead of "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel for Reservoir Dogs? What about "You Light Up My Life" instead of "Fight The Power" in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing? There were more than a couple mistakes of this nature in the past decade - the entire Watchmen soundtrack comes to mind - but with the aughts coming to a close let's celebrate the ones that got it right 10. Superbad - 2007 Song: "Panama" by Van Halen Few songs can pump someone up more than 80's hair metal (basically the reason it was invented), and no band did it better than Van Halen. So when »

Nicolas Cage Got Into The Spirit For 'Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans'
20 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV.Com: Seventeen years ago, the legendary Harvey Keitel launched the second act of his movie career with a pair of tough-guy instant classics: Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and Abel Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant." A crack-pipe-smoking breath of fresh air, "Lieutenant" predated "The Shield" by a decade in telling the Nc-17 story of a junkie, gambler, killer cop on a downward spiral.
During the past year, film buffs have been up in arms over director Werner Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans." Starring Nicolas Cage as the type of at-wit's-end madman who puts a gun to an old lady's temple to get information, the flick co-stars Eva Mendes and Val Kilmer and packs one potent surprise: Although it has little to do with Keitel's movie, it is a deranged, worthy successor.
Recently, we caught up with Cage to discuss a return to his over-the-top roots »

Kevin Smith 3-Movie Collection (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) – Blu-ray

Blu-ray Review
Kevin Smith 3-Movie Collection (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)
Directed by: Kevin Smith
Rating: R
Due Out: November 17, 2009
Who’S It For? With the fan-based nature of his movies, if you like these titles from writer/director Kevin Smith, then you probably own them already. It’s really up to you if you want to shell out ninety dollars to have their latest incarnation, though none of them really demand a high definition presentation except for maybe the more Hollywood Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The documentaries about each movie are fun watches, but perhaps you should put this on your wish list before your immediate shopping list.

Kevin Smith embraces the suckage of work by finding the amusing nature of the weird sh*t that can go on during one shift. Slaving away at a beat down convenience store on »

Scorsese Scores Mol For Boardwalk Empire
18 November 2009 6:05 AM, PST | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news »
Actress Gretchen "The Notorious Bettie Page" Mol, has joined the cast of HBO's period underworld TV series Boardwalk Empire, produced by Martin "Mean Streets" Scorsese. Mol will have a recurring role in the series as a 'showgirl' alongside gangster Steve "Reservoir Dogs" Buscemi. Set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era, Boardwalk Empire was adapted by Emmy-winning writer/producer Terence "The Sopranos" Winter from author Nelson Johnson's book, "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City." The pilot episode was directed by Scorsese, with HBO picking up the series for an additional 11 episodes, making the first season 12 episodes long. "...From its inception, Atlantic City has been a town dedicated to the fast buck and this history offers a riveting account of its past, from the city's heyday as a Prohibition-era mecca of lawlessness.

Beyonce, Gaga Role Reverse for 'Video Phone'
17 November 2009 1:38 PM, PST | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »
Lady Gaga makes a cameo in Beyonce’s new “Video Phone,” video and in an unusual twist, GaGa tones down her act, while Beyonce ramps up hers. Gaga makes her cameo midway through the vid, and she and Beyonce wear matching white bustiers. The duo does an impressive chair dance together as well. Beyonce pays tribute to ‘50s sex siren Bettie Page, and the opening sequence is a play on Quentin Tarentino’s classic film, “Reservoir Dogs.” Watch it here. »

Beyonce And Lady Gaga's 'Video Phone' Clip: A Brightly Colored Fantasy Set To Life

Hype Williams-helmed clip premiered on MTV.com at midnight.

When one imagines a collaboration between Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Hype Williams, the mind reels with visions of outlandish costumes, hip-displacing dance moves, DayGlo flames, fish-eye lenses ... the list goes on and on.
Thus, it's a little surprising that the just-released clip for Beyoncé's "Video Phone" has nary a flame or fish-eye shot (there are, of course, plenty of outlandish costumes). However, don't make the mistake of thinking this video is by any means straightforward — it's plenty Wtf!
Opening with a tracking shot that pays homage to Quentin Tarantino's 1992 flick "Reservoir Dogs" (and features Beyoncé wearing a Zorro mask) and closing with her firing an assault rifle while seated atop a motorcycle, it's a decidedly weird trip, a cartoonish fantasy brought to life. There's an extended »
Beyoncé And Lady Gaga's 'Video Phone': The Key Scene
17 November 2009 6:00 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
In the wee hours of the morning, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga pulled back the curtain on the video for "Video Phone (Extended Remix)," their first collaborative effort. The result is an eye-catching, colorful, fashion-forward clip that may be considered a tad anti-climatic, if only because Gaga seems a bit dialed back. The clip opens with Beyoncé re-enacting the beginning of "Reservoir Dogs" (is she Mr. Pink, Mr. Blonde or Nice Guy Eddie?), followed by a flashy barrage of a number of crazy costumes. In the most otherworldly moment of the video, Beyoncé is flanked by two men who have video cameras for heads.
Gaga doesn't actually show up until the halfway point of the clip. She wears a white leotard and dances along with Beyoncé while the two of them hold plastic guns. Gaga isn't given the opportunity to wear any crazy costumes or don masks or make-up — it's probably »

Bad Boys Grow Up
17 November 2009 6:00 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Let's start with a few images: A psycho jive artist dancing around as he cuts a man's ear off. A retired bullfighter slumped in front of a television set, masturbating furiously to slasher movies. Scenes like those, from Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and Pedro Almodóvar's "Matador," pretty much secured the bad-boy reputations of their creators. Tarantino came to be regarded as a hyped-up pop culture junkie spritzing bloodshed and movie references in equal measure. And Almodóvar was thought of as something like the post-Franco John Waters, mixing '50s Hollywood-style melodrama with cheerful hedonism awash in sex and drugs.
But at this year's New York Film Festival, it was Almodóvar's latest, "Broken Embraces," that was chosen for the stately closing night slot. And about a month or so before the festival, Tarantino's latest film, the epic World War II adventure "Inglourious Basterds," became the unlikeliest hit of the year. »

Beyonce And Lady Gaga's 'Video Phone': Check Out A Preview!
15 November 2009 11:38 PM, PST | MTV Music News | See recent MTV Music News news »
We give you a peek at 30 seconds of the video before it premieres tonight on MTV.com.
Beyoncé in the "Video Phone" video
It's been a great season for high-profile video premieres. Last week saw the unveiling of Lady Gaga's hyper-kinetic clip for her new single "Bad Romance," the new video for the Chris Brown ballad "Crawl" and the unleashing of Rihanna's cinematic tour-de-force for "Russian Roulette." This week sees another new video, a much-talked-about collaboration between arguably the two biggest divas in all of pop music right now. Lady Gaga and Beyoncé will pull the curtain back on their new Hype Williams-directed tag-team clip "Video Phone" at midnight tonight, but there is already a 30-second teaser worming its way around the Internet.
In the short clip first posted on our Buzzworthy blog, Beyoncé is seen walking down some sort of alley flanked by four men in black suits. »
Michael Madsen is our nominee for Hardest-Working Man in Show Business
11 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Michael Madsen calls movies "pictures" and makes a new one every couple weeks. I happened to check his IMDb page recently, and I noticed something incredible: the man acted in 25 movies released this year. 25*! Sure, they all have dubious titles like You Might As Well Live, Lost in the Woods, and Road of No Return. Sure, Madsen mostly plays characters with names like "The Reverend," "The Associate," and "Clinton Manitoba." But the sheer quantity of Madsen-imprinted cinema in 2009 deserves a special kind of acclaim. Madsen is philosophical about his workaholic output. "I'm only good when I'm busy. When I've got nothing to do, »

Looking for Inspiration for Hotel Design? Try Violent, Profane Movies
9 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
Quentin Tarantino's cult classic, Reservoir Dogs, with its cast of violent, sociopathic killers with names straight out of a Crayola box--Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue, Mr. Pink--was the inspiration for a 10-pack of rooms at the recently-opened Paradise Tower at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Like skulls stenciled on your bedroom wall? Got that. A bed illuminated by blue neon? Check. Wall-sized images of topless women enjoying a post-coital smoke above the headboard? No problem.
"Everyone was so afraid we'd look like another Morgans Hotel property," says Hard Rock Cmo Phil Shalala. "But we kept our brand." Indeed.
The ten pool suites in "The Dime" were designed by South African designer Mark Zeff of ZeffDesign and Las Vegas-based designer Mark Tracy of Chemical Spaces to be decadent, party-like-a-rock-star spaces. Each one is outfitted with the accoutrements critical to the life of a hard-partying young music or entertainment industry »

Inglourious Basterds Editor Sally Menke Talks Tarantino, Cannes Cuts, and Kill Bill 3
6 November 2009 11:45 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
There's one woman in the world who understands Quentin Tarantino better than anybody, and that's Sally Menke. Since her work on Reservoir Dogs, Menke has cut every single one of Tarantino's films, and for the last decade, she's eschewed almost all other jobs to devote herself solely to the genre-blending auteur. This Sunday, Menke will be receiving the Lifetime Achievement honor at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards, and as Inglourious Basterds begins its transformation from unexpected summer blockbuster to even-more-unexpected Oscar player, we thought there'd be no better time to talk to Menke about how she does what she does. »

Entertainment Weekly Lists the 25 Best Soundtracks from the Past 25 Years
3 November 2009 2:34 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I’m no music expert what with their fancy degrees and ability to appreciate music beyond “This sounds good.” But I do know lists and lists generate controversy and controversy equals traffic! And with their patented “slideshow” format which creates more hits based on an itemized story, EW.com has a real racket going!
Well, we just listed it like normal people after the jump. Take a look, see if you agree, and scream your disbelief at how a certain album you love wasn’t included. Also, remember that this is a list of soundtracks which are usually a collection of songs used in a movie as opposed to a score which is usually the instrumental accompaniment to the film created by a single composer (although there are obviously scores created by more than one composer).
If you want to click through the list like a chump, click here. It »

The gutting of Miramax, Pt. II: Is this the end of New York movie culture?
2 November 2009 3:58 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Last week, it was announced that Miramax Films would close its New York offices, and that its president, Daniel Battsek, was being asked to step down. If that sounds like an unhappy day for the world of independent film -- well, it is. Yet as far as Miramax is concerned, it's really just one more nail in a coffin that was already slamming shut. In case you missed the news, here's the post I wrote back on Oct. 11 about the gutting of Miramax that took place last month, and what it could portend, in general, for studio specialty divisions.
