I love when I get excited about a film solely for the actors involved. It doesn’t matter what the film is about, as long as actors I like are on screen, I can enjoy it. An Education started out that way, but by the time the credits scrolled upwards, I loved the film as a whole. Peter Sarsgaard (Shattered Glass, Jarhead) and Carey Mulligan (Pride Prejudice, Public Enemies) were the actors I was excited to see. Oh yea, and Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, and Sally Hawkins were thrown in there too. With all that fire power, and a script by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity), who wouldn’t want to see this film?
An Education is a period piece in London, 1962 (post-war, pre-Beatles). It’s rare I make a note during the screening to mention the opening credits in my review, but they were really great in this one! Jenny »

John Hillcoat's adaptation of the Matt Bondurant novel The Wettest Country in the World isn't happening yet. It was set up at Columbia for some time, but put into turnaround by the studio. Now producers Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher (who did Jarhead and Memoirs of a Geisha and are working on Nicolas Winding Refn's Jekyll at Universal) are trying to make the film work as an indie. Because there is interest from a bevy of young stars (including, ahem, Shia Labeouf) it might actually happen. The Wettest Country in the World sounds like a fantastic story and a perfect project for Hillcoat. It's based on the story of Bondurant's own grandfather and great-uncles, who ran a depression-era moonshine/bootlegging business. There's also a parallel thread, where a reporter is tracking the gang and reporting on bootlegging while researching a novel. The Publisher's Weekly synopsis gives a few »

Upon finishing Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road (2008) it felt like the life had been drained out of me. While impeccably produced and acted, the film is so emotionally heavy and unrelentingly depressing, I am relieved there was not a firearm or straight razor within arm's reach during viewing. I have the utmost respect for the caliber of the work but should it be so painful to endure? Almost as an anecdote, the director churned out the indie flick Away We Go (2009) within six months that is a total reversal in tone from his previous effort. Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are unmarried and awaiting the birth of their first child when surprised by the news that his parents are leaving the country for two years with the kicker that they are departing before the due date. Since Verona's folks are deceased (which is part of the reason she »

Actress Reese Witherspoon has shot down reports she's preparing to become Mrs. Jake Gyllenhaal, insisting she's not engaged to the Jarhead star.
The Legally Blonde beauty, who was previously married to Ryan Phillippe, has been dating Gyllenhaal since 2007 after meeting on the set of Rendition.
Britain's Ok! magazine claims the couple is now planning to exchange vows after Witherspoon was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
A source tells the publication, "Reese looked delighted, and she was definitely showing off the ring."
However, Witherspoon's representative has denied the claims, emphatically telling GossipCop.com, "No, no and no." »

It's almost time for an update of the Top 50 Hottest Young Actors list! Before our rundown featuring the actors below, let's have a look at some hitlists from across the web - Moviefone has a 25 under 25 and Fandango a 10 Young Actors to Watch list. ScreenDaily publishes Stars of Tomorrow and there is the annual European Shooting Stars celebrated as part of the Berlinale. The first 2 only consider Hollywood movies and cast, while ScreenDaily is exclusively for UK-based filmmakers and actors. The 'shooting star' programme is, of course, for Europeans.

- - - These hitlists are more than point of references to our own - they are inspiration to keep us on our feet and come up with a listing that consider all angles. I don't think anyone is naïve enough to list down and rank 50 young actors ( and 50 young actresses) and expect everyone to agree and be happy, »

Variety reports that Focus Features has teamed up with Oprah Winfrey’s Harper Productions and Sam Mendes’s Neal Street Productions to produce a film version of the novel “Netherland” by Joseph O’Neill. Released in 2008, “Netherland” is the story of a Dutch stockbroker living in New York City who forms a cricket team with marganalized immigrants. It won the 2009 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Christopher Hamptom (”Atonement”) is writing the script. Perhaps most notable is the fact that Sam Mendes has expressed interest in helming the picture himself. Having worked on stage for years, his feature film debut, “American Beauty”, earned five Oscars in 1999, including Best Director. His subsequent films include “Road to Perdition”, “Jarhead”, “Revolutionary Road”, and this year’s effort “Away We Go”. Mendes has had such a diverse filmography that cricket-playing stockbrockers sounds only like the next logical step in his career, but the novel itself »

It’s not easy being a Southern preacher with a vampire sidekick. Just ask Jesse Custer, whose trials and tribulations was originally supposed to be a TV show from Mark Steven Johnson on HBO, but that fell through. (Some, especially non-fans of Mark Steven Johnson, would say it was for the best.). Then it was supposed to be a movie from Sam Mendes, but that was a while ago, and we haven’t heard a lot about the film’s progress until now. The director of “Jarhead”, “Road to Perdition”, and “Revolutionary Road” recently updated Empire about the status of “Preacher”: “It’s getting closer. I’ve seen a script and it’s very good. We’re a little further down the road than when I last spoke to you.” Sounds good, right? Looks like things are rolling and we could get a “Preacher” movie soon. Unfortunately Mendes won »

Being a huge fan of American Beauty and Jarhead i was very happy to go see Sam Mendes fifth Directorial feature film Away We Go and i came out in love with the story, the characters and a film that connected with me in so many ways.
Being recently married and looking to start a family and set down our roots somewhere, the plot of the film was similar to what we are looking to do, find a location where to live that will give our family a life to enjoy and feel happy in and this is probably why i loved the film so much, i saw myself and my wife in this film and it put a huge smile on my face.
Take the jump to see my review on the film.

Peter Sarsgaard made his big-screen debut in 1995's Dead Man Walking as the murder victim Walter Delacroix, but his breakthrough performance was in 1999's Boys Don't Cry as John Lotter, one of the killers of transgendered man Brandon Teena. Since then, he's become famous for his nuanced performances in a wide variety of films like Shattered Glass, Kinsey, Jarhead, and the upcoming An Education.
If you have missed the ubiquitous and creepy posters for his new movie with Vera Farmiga, Orphan, let me give you a quick synopsis. After Kate Coleman (Farmiga) has a stillborn baby, she and her husband John (Sarsgaard) decide to adopt Esther, a deadly serious Russian orphan who wears ribbons around her neck and wrists and old-fashioned ruffly dresses played by Isabelle Fuhrman. But things keep going wrong when Esther's around... hence the tagline in those ubiquitous and creepy posters with the tagline "There's something wrong with Esther. »

Directed by: Kathryn Bigelow
Cast: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty
Running Time: 2 hrs 11 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: July 10, 2009
Plot: When a top-notch Army bomb squad lose their beloved team leader, they are dealt a wild card in Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner). With the deceptive Iraqi terrain as a gruelingly harsh backdrop, we are witness to the nerve-inducing drama that unfolds when even elite soldiers are in over their heads. An inner struggle for leverage rages throughout a film that questions the theory of teamwork when lives are always on the line.
Who’s It For? Those of you who enjoyed the thematics touched upon in Jarhead but felt slighted by the film’s execution will almost certainly appreciate the cold-blooded sentiment touched upon throughout The Hurt Locker. By personalizing the message of unity (or lack thereof), this is an art film disguised as a shoot-em-up. »
