DVD Review: Public Enemies

1 November 2009 4:41 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

“I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars and you. What else do you need to know?”

Public Enemies is Michael Mann’s first venture into true-life territory since 1999’s The Insider. He has long been a master of slick fictionalised crime – his CV is a roll call of criminal capers and cops. The first twenty minutes of Public Enemies is this familiar Mann – the man who made Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice is here you think. The screen, the very room filled with slick staccato sights and sounds. It is cool; it looks period but feels contemporary, fast paced; a jail break, a bank heist, bang, bang, rapid-fire images, bang, bang. A car crests a hill with the robbers on the running boards clutching hostages to them, pretty girls, big guns, devil-may-care men; Gangsters. It explodes out of the screen burning with the same white-hot intensity that Mann believes »

Colin Farrell's Latest Production: Baby Boy!

30 October 2009 3:10 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

The only role Colin Farrell has played twice—dad. The 33-year-old thesp and his actress girlfriend Alicja Bachleda welcomed son Henry Tadeusz Farrell on Oct. 7, E! News confirmed Friday. Farrell is also dad to 6-year-old James Padraig, his son with ex Kim Bordenave. While the In Bruges star has earned much acclaim for his chameleonic acting ability, it was fatherhood that proved to be the occupation which tamed the Irish bad boy. He checked into a rehab program in 2005 after he finished shooting Miami Vice. Farrell and Bachleda met while shooting the fairytale-esque Ondine in Ireland, in which the Polish beauty played a mysterious woman who gets caught in Farrell's fisherman's net,... »

Michael Mann Finds His Heart

5 October 2009 1:57 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Sure, Michael Mann has directed The Last of Mohicans, but that’s primarily buffeted by other films such as Heat and Miami Vice, the kind of high-octane action thrillers that he’s best known for. So it comes as some surprise when he signs on with Columbia to direct Waiting for Robert Capa (via Variety). Based on a Spanish-language novel by Susana Fortes, the story is about Robert Capa and his two-year romance with fellow war photographer Gerda Taro during the Spanish Civil War. Jez Butterworth is adapting the screenplay. Butterworth was chosen based on the work he has done on the play Jerusalem and a James Brown biopic. Mann plans to make a “gritty, low-budget film”. There are spoilers in the Variety article, if history can truly be called a spoiler. I mean, biopics are usually made with the implicit reminder that it’s okay to know how the »

Michael Mann To Make Robert Capa Film

5 October 2009 1:42 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Looks like Michael Mann has lined up his next film – a biopic of the legendary war photographer, Robert Capa.A Hungarian native who became famous for his compelling photographs of five major conflicts, including World War II, Capa was a complicated soul who also worked in Hollywood for a time, even dating Ingrid Bergman at one point.But it’s an earlier romance that apparently gave Mann a window into telling Capa’s tale after years of trying to adapt the man’s life. Capa conducted a two-year love affair with fellow photographer, Gerda Taro, during the Spanish Civil War, as documented in Waiting For Robert Capa, a new Spanish-language book by Susanna Fortes.It sounds like perfect Mann material, allowing him to paint another picture of a brilliant obsessive (see: all his other movies) while developing the romantic side that we’ve seen in Last Of The Mohicans, Miami Vice and Public Enemies. »

Wanted: Colin Farrell seeks Hollywood blockbuster role (IrishCentral)

17 September 2009 8:11 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »

Hey Hollywood! Irish actor Colin Farrell says he's ready for a blockbuster role. "I love good action films," he said. "I love the spectacle of guns in the cinema, I really do." Mind you, at least our Colin's honest enough to own up to a more base consideration - the bottom line. "I'd love a big payday cheque," the 33-year-old star said. "I have no moral revulsion to that at all." A blockbuster role wouldn't be too much of a stretch for Farrell who did well in the movie thrillers; 'Daredevil," "Miami Vice" and "Minority Report." "It's just whatever you respond to. If I could find something that was a really big film that I liked," he said. Farrell is currently in Toronto plugging three films; "Ondine," "Triage" and "London Boulevard." The father-to-be also admitted that fatherhood with Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda wasn't going to slow him down. "Like, »

Mad Men Review: Giant Asteroid Destroys Ant Farm

6 September 2009 7:56 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »

9:56 pm: Watched Far from Heaven again last night to pre-soak my mind in autumnal-leafed alienation and lay down an early groove. Betty's dad as driving instructor—what could possibly go wrong? Nice of you to join us, Don, for the Jai alai meeting. I've always wanted to go to a Jai alai club—there's one in Delaware the Metroliner always whooshed by whenever I went back and forth to Baltimore. And of course there was a flash of Jai alai in the opening credits of Miami Vice. That pretty much exhausts my coin pouch of knowledge regarding this indoor sport that I gather attracts a lot of wagering. Don just wants to read his paper in peace and here's the father-in-law, unpacking the war memorabilia. "Bobby, it's a dead man's hat," he says of the spiked Prussian helmet and I have to say I side with Don. Kid runs »

Showing that he still is an actor, Iron Man 2 and Tropic Thunder screenwriter Justin Theroux has joined the cast of Universal's Your Highness, a fantasy-themed comedy now filming in Ireland. Theroux is playing the film's villain to Danny McBride's hero.

Miami Heat: Fashion Week Swimwear 2010

24 August 2009 3:45 AM, PDT | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »

I landed by jet plane “Miami Vice” style into the cocktail kickoff celebration featuring and hosted by Boheme Boutique, overflowing with models in sexy swim attire sporting skin by Forever Makeup, massages and tan products by Bain Du Solei and hair by Conair And Rusk. It was a tropical night in SoBe Miami, as the soft breeze from the ocean wafted over the Raleigh Hotel's poolside garden and the humidity lifted as sister Shelly and I sipped Café Bustelo Cool and Smart Water. The attendees were dressed to the nines in Miami chic designer frocks head to toe. No imitations or fakes; “the real deal” is what the Floridians wear. »

TV News: Deadwood Star Joins Lost, 24 Plans For The End

20 August 2009 1:56 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Deadwood alum John Hawkes has joined the cast of the sixth and final season of Lost, and producers of Fox's 24 are planning for the possible end of the series. Details after the jump. John Hawkes has been cast as a new reoccurring character named Lennon on Lost. The character is described in the casting breakdown as "Scruffy, edgy, charismatic, and slightly stir-crazy, Lennon can be deferential when it’s called for. He’s the spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation. He’s a wily negotiator, and far more powerful than his lowly position would seem to indicate." One would assume that Lennon works for Widmore or the Hanso Foundation, although that isn't clearly stated. Any thoughts?  Hawkes played entrepreneur and politician Sol Star on Deadwood, Dustin Powers on Eastbound & Down, and his feature credits include Me and You and Everyone We Know, Miami Vice, American Gangster and Miracle at St. »

Interview With A Basterd: Michael Fassbender

Spoilers Ahead!!!

Atomic Popcorn: So, can we talk about working with Tarantino and stepping into a project like this?

Fassbender is a Basterd

Fassbender: Well, I suppose it’s sort of [pause] first thing’s that it was very surreal for me, and because the first thing I did when I was starting to get into the business was when I was 18 and me and my friends got together and did a stage version of Reservoir Dogs in a local nightclub. Well, in Ireland, it’s called disco, really. So that was my first steps in getting into a career, so to actually work with him was a dream come true. And once I sort of got beyond that, it’s just fascinating to watch the man work, cause he really does work in his unique sort of way. And also the fact that he’s just so knowledge able in film, »

Universal City, California — It was an A-list night at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards as the big names — hosts the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, to name a few — brought star wattage and unique style to the red carpet in front of the Gibson Amphitheatre.

The fellas kept it relaxed. The JoBros, hosts and nominees, all opted for a jacket and dress pants, but each look varied slightly. Kevin donned an all-black look as Joe kept it slightly "Miami Vice"-esque with his neon T-shirt. Meanwhile, Nick added a dash of color in a different way, opting for a beige blazer. The youngest "Bonus" Jonas, Frankie, kept the blazer look going by pairing his with jeans. »

Jean-Jacques Beineix: The Hollywood Interview

French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix.

Jean-jacques Beineix:

Divas and Lions and Moons, Oh My!

By Alex Simon

The Noveulle Vague, or “French New Wave” was launched by a group of film critics and cinefiles who began France’s legendary Cahiers du Cinéma magazine in the 1950s. With Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless in 1959, the movement was launched, emphasizing behavior over aesthetics, content over form, and pastiche of other film genres (particularly those born in the U.S., with a healthy dollop of Italian neorealism) over the more traditional narratives of French films from years past. Francois Truffaut, Jacques Demy, Agnes Varda (see our interview with her below) Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, and Jacques Rivette all fell under the spell of magazine co-founder and theorist Andre Bazin, laying the groundwork for a series of articles, monographs and critiques that formed the so-called “auteur theory,” (or more specifically “"La politique des auteurs" ("The policy of authors, »

The 80s Live On This Summer!

As the summer gets hotter, so does the fashion scene. The 80s may be long gone, but when it comes to style, that’s the decade we are all living in! This summer, it’s all about the 80s. But don’t worry, the overdone makeup and oversized hair look is staying in the decade where they belong. Luckily, companies like Forever 21, Ray Ban, and American Apparel are keeping these totally tubular styles alive. Tons of celebs are on board with the flashdance-inspired style.
