'Precious' makes box office history and sets its sights on 'New Moon'

1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

The journey of Lee Daniels' "Precious: Based on Push a Novel by Sapphire" continues to astound. In a stunner, "Precious" made box office history this weekend by posting the highest per screen average for a film in more than 10 theaters.  The acclaimed drama made $1.8 million in only 18 theaters for an eye-popping $100,000 per screen average.  Historically, the only live action films to ever have a bigger per screen were "Dreamgirls" and "Brokeback Mountain," but both those films debuted on only three and five screens with averages of $126,000 and $105,000 respectively.  The more screens you make available, the... »

Paltrow, Kidman are Man and Wife in 'The Danish Girl'

12 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

I know who's not going to be watching The Danish Girl: Dudes. If you think you had trouble getting a dude to see Brokeback Mountain, then just try getting him off the couch in football season to see a movie in which Nicole Kidman plays a post-op transsexual. And if you were still holding out hope, you should know Gwyneth Paltrow will play Nicole's wife.

Yep, if there's three things guys generally don't want to see in their movies, it's Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and trannies. But The Danish Girl is a drama full of, well, drama, and because it's directing by Let the Right One In's Tomas Alfredson, the cineastes will probably line up for it.

Here's the breakdown of the plot from Variety: »

AFI Fest 2009 comes to a close with the following screenings: Michael Hoffman’s The Last Station, which is set near the end of Leo Tolstoy’s life, has been getting lots of Oscar buzz for its stars: James McAvoy as Tolstoy’s assistant; Helen Mirren as Tolstoy’s wife; and Christopher Plummer as the verbose author of the never-ending War and Peace. Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash’s Sweetgrass offers a look at sheepherding in Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountain range.

Crashville: The Risky Route To Oscar Glory

6 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

In March 2006 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sprung one of its annual surprises by awarding the best picture Oscar to Crash, rather than Ang Lee’s acclaimed gay cowboy drama, Brokeback Mountain. At the time it looked as though racism and multiple vehicular pile-ups had trumped homosexuality in the battle of the “hot button” issue movies. But perhaps the Academy was belatedly acknowledging the kind of ambitious, densely plotted, multi-character dramas made famous by the great Robert Altman. From 1975’s Nashville, to Short Cuts, Prêt à Porter and his 2006 swansong A Prairie Home Companion, Altman allowed audiences to immerse themselves in the cinematic equivalent of a book of short stories. Writer Alissa Quart has characterised these films with multiple intersecting plotlines as “hyperlink movies”, in which, “information, character, and action co-exist without hierarchy”. Now I’m a fan of Altman and I loved Paul Thomas Anderson’s, »

Ang Lee: First Signs of Life… of Pi

3 November 2009 12:09 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

I like to consider myself one part book nerd, the other part film geek.  So nothing excites me more than when these two worlds come together.  That’s why news that we’re one step closer to a film adaptation of Yann Martel’s prize-winning novel Life of Pi really “floats my boat.”  Well, you’ll get that reference in a minute if you don’t already. Life of Pi won England’s prestigious Man Booker Prize back in 2002, and after devouring it page by page in a matter of hours, I made it my mission to read every other Booker Prize winner I could get my hands on.  The story concerns little Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel, who survives a shipwreck only to find himself adrift in a lifeboat with four very unlikely shipmates: a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a tiger. In February of this year, it was »

Walt Disney Pictures and Bruckheimer Films have released the new trailer for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time adapting the best-selling Ubisoft video game Prince of Persia. Created in 1989 for the Apple II by creator Jordan Mechner, the Prince Of Persia video game developed a unique rotoscoping process to ensure authenticity of movement during animated sword-play. Following the game's release, Prince of Persia was ported to Amiga, Apple Macintosh, Dos, Nes, Game Boy, Game Gear, Snes, Sharp X68000, Atari St, Sam Coupe and Sega Mega Drive Genesis. In the original game, the 'Prince' is an orphan living in the streets of Persia, until one day he climbs the palace walls to peek at a young 'Princess', comparing her to a "moonrise in the heavens". But when the 'Sultan of Persia' is called away to war, the evil 'Vizier Jaffar' seizes the throne and imprisons the Princess, giving her one »

'One Tree Hill' Review: Brokeback Tree Hill

3 November 2009 3:33 AM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Now that Renee is behind us on One Tree Hill, it's time to move on to the second chapter of season 7.  But in order to do that, the show needs to transition with a little comedy.  Bring on the pot brownies and Brokeback Mountain jokes, because it's comedy time on One Tree Hill.

This episode was all about making connections.  Nathan and Julian got into touch with their inner bromance on a camping trip, Haley and Brooke bonded over paranoia and pot brownies, Clay finally connected with Quinn after spending even more time with Ghost Wife, and Dan learned that it's time to reconnect with his family. »

'Let the Right One In': Yes, I saw it again

31 October 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

In honor of Halloween, a day of vampires and naughty misdeeds, I sat down to watch Let the Right One In again -- a movie tied to a naughty misdeed of my own. My offending act of immoral behavior? Back when it was released, one year ago, on Oct. 24, 2008, I wrote a review that trashed this pensive and brooding Swedish vampire movie. I called it "arty," I said that it wasn't "coherent," and I accused the hero -- a 12-year-old blond boy in a wintry Stockholm suburb who befriends the vampire child next door -- of "skulk through the movie in a blank-faced torpor. »

Ang Lee Confirms His Next Film is 'Life of Pi'

30 October 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Ang Lee hasn't had much mainstream success since he won an Oscar for directing "Brokeback Mountain" a few years back. His follow-up was the hard-to-distribute Nc-17-rated Chinese period romance "Lust, Caution." Then, this past summer he released the much broader "Taking Woodstock," a comic look at a singular true story behind the scenes of the legendary music festival, and it failed to find an audience (I recommend seeing it when it hits DVD on December 15, specifically for Imelda Staunton, who deserves an Oscar already).

Fortunately, Lee's next film will be based on a best-selling novel and could therefore bring him back to the spotlight for the moviegoing masses. He confirmed to Digital Spy that he thinks he's going to do "Life of Pi," which he's adapting from Yann Martel's Booker Prize-winner. Of course, if you're familiar with the source material, you may wonder how on earth it's going to work as a film. »

For Your Consideration: Oscar’s Gay Tendencies

29 October 2009 1:47 PM, PDT | IndieWIRE | See recent indieWIRE news »

A lot has gone down for the gays since “Brokeback Mountain”‘s cries-of-homophobia inducing loss for Oscar’s biggest prize four years ago, both in Hollywood and in America as a whole.  And with another award season upon us, we’re again faced with another big gay contender.  Following last year’s eight-time nominated “Milk,” Tom Ford’s “A Single Man” is set to begin its Weinstein Company-orchestrated push for gold any day now.
