The 10 Must-See Sequels of 2010
5 hours ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Hollywood can't be set asunder from sequels. The facts that popular characters are more appealing to moviegoers and there is less risk involved in presenting a follow-up rather than releasing new film have attracted more and more filmmakers to bring out one sequel after another whenever a movie performs well with the audience.
Such is happening in 2010. The year will see many of best movies from previous years springing out with sequels in competition to dominate the box office. From the hilarious "Meet the Fockers" to the action-packed "Iron Man", they all get the chance to present more stories and adventures in the life of people's beloved characters.
With many sequels being offered, AceShowbiz compiles the 10 not-to-be-missed ones in the upcoming 2010. Each sequel listed weighs on how the original films performed after they were released in theaters as well as what the sequels themselves have to offer this time around. »

Avatar Box Office: Another $16m on Wednesday
24 December 2009 10:09 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Stephen Lang in Avatar (Mark Fellman / 20th Century Fox) According to the Box Office Mojo chart for Wed., December 23, Avatar continued its $16 million-a-weekday run. Although James Cameron’s sci-fi epic didn’t break any records as far as I know, it did add $16.4 million to its domestic take, which now totals $125.9m. Nineteen movies have had better Wednesdays than Avatar (remember that the chart hasn’t been adjusted for inflation), but most of those further up the list had their opening day on a Wednesday. Yesterday was Day 6 for Avatar, which was released last Friday. Only two non-opening movies earned more than Avatar on a Wed.: Transformers at #6 (Day 2) and The Dark Knight at #15 ($18.3m on Day [...] »

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Review
24 December 2009 8:12 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
At first glance, the death of Heath Ledger combined with his posthumous Oscar® for The Dark Knight would seem to overshadow his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, an independent feature from a director whose last two films flopped both critically and commercially. But in an unexpected triumph, director Terry Gilliam shows that his limitless imagination can keep the outside world behind the theater doors and invite audiences to step inside the world he depicts on the screen.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a traveling vaudeville show no one wants in the modern day of relentless digital entertainment. With audiences uninterested in his antiquated mode of live entertainment, the immortal Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) has grown weary of his unending life and his conscience is eating away at the whatever will he left. Unable to stop gambling with Mr. Nick aka the Devil (Tom Waits), Parnassus is about to »

John’s 10 Biggest Movie Surprises of 2009
24 December 2009 12:56 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
I’ll be up front with you: the list you’re about to read wasn’t what I had in store for you. As I sat at my desk and prepared to crank out what would be another top ten list of 2009, I realized that I was utterly ill-equipped to do so. As many great films as I witnessed this year, I missed just as many that I’m sure I’d enjoy: A Serious Man. The Fantastic Mr. Fox. The Hurt Locker. The Brothers Bloom.
I know. Just thinking about it makes me sick. But I saw enough to be confident in saying that 2009 was an extremely good year for movies — from blockbusters to indie pictures, we’ve witnessed some great films and surprising debuts from unique filmmakers.
What follows isn’t a list of the “best” films of 2009, but instead is a list of the most surprising, excellent »

Movie Preview: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Starring Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, Christopher Plummer)
24 December 2009 11:47 AM, PST | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) will go down in history as the 19th and final film of Heath Ledger's career, and that's -- all at once -- a shame and something special. It's a shame because the world lost a remarkable young talent when Ledger died in January, 2008, but something special because it's a terrific and fanciful film, and because of the extraordinary lengths to which writer-director Terry Gilliam, the film's cast and crew, and several of Ledger's friends went in order to ensure that Doctor Parnassus would be completed. But let's back up a step. Gilliam and Ledger had worked together before, on the director's film The Brothers Grimm (2005). That one wasn't a masterpiece by any means, but it had its moments and, more importantly, Ledger and Gilliam hit it off personally and professionally. At some point later on, Gilliam and Ledger, the latter then extremely in demand, »

The 10 Best Films of the Decade
24 December 2009 7:29 AM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Daniel Day-Lewis in Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 masterpiece, There Will Be Blood. There’s no getting around it: ten-best lists are arbitrary and cruel. Summing up as cinematically rich a decade as this one is impossible, and any such attempt can promise nothing but blood feuds and celluloid psychosis. So, let’s give it a try! 10. The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, 2008) The first decade of this century will be remembered as the moment when comics finally conquered the cinema. At the dawn of the decade, Comic-con was just another massive geek-fest that studios barely acknowledged. Now it’s a necessary stop on any summer blockbuster’s publicity blitz. For studio chiefs in need of $50 million-plus opening weekends, it’s become a mandatory ritual to offer their first-born (director, stars, t-shirts) to the fanboys. From Spiderman to Sin City, the fan gods have been kind (and the studios have cashed in »
Eerie Final Films of Stars Who Died Young

In the wake of Brittany Murphy’s death, her latest film roles take on an especially creepy symbolism. The Frisky points to the just-released trailer for her upcoming movie Abandoned , in which she plays a woman under psychiatric care—and E! notes that the box art for another recent film, Deadline , shows Murphy’s character, lifeless, in a bathtub. The Frisky looks back at the final roles of others who died young: Heath Ledger: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is about traveling performers who make deals with the devil—and let’s not forget his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight »

Todd's Top 10 of 2009
23 December 2009 7:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
It's absolutely true that 2009 was a great year for movies, but I'm not altogether sure that 2009 was a year for great movies. The difference, some might argue, is negligible, since there probably shouldn't be any sort of division between smarter and more substantive fare and populist entertainment. In a year like, say, 2008, that might have been true, at least where its biggest blockbuster, The Dark Knight, was concerned. But in '09, it seemed like about five people saw the "serious" movies, while everyone else was watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
That said, the value of being entertained isn't necessarily less than that of being enlightened or inspired, and box office success isn't automatically antithetical to quality. (I actually kind of liked Revenge of the Fallen, after all.) Ultimately, however, making a Top Ten list for 2009 has seemed like a more ambiguously-defined process than in previous years, because I realize »

Gyllenhaal Wants Second Co-starring Role With Sarsgaard
23 December 2009 5:26 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Maggie Gyllenhaal would jump at the chance to work with her husband Peter Sarsgaard again - because their co-starring roles in off-Broadway's Uncle Vanya revved up their love life.
The couple, which wed in Italy in May, performed together in the Chekhov play earlier this year.
And Gyllenhaal insists mixing her home life with work strengthened their bond - because they were so turned on by each other's work ethic.
The Dark Knight actress explains, "I could see how it would be awful for some people. For us it was like bliss. It was sexy and I felt like doing a Chekhov play, there are going to be times when you struggle, there are going to be times when you get things wrong, when you're flailing, and I felt like he respected me every minute." »
Movie Poster Round-Up: Inception, Robin Hood, Clash of the Titans
23 December 2009 11:27 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Along with all the trailers coming out for next year's big blockbusters, we've also got a slew of new posters being released at the same time since the two seem to go hand in hand. Let's take a quick spin around the web and see what kinds of artwork these talented graphic design people have come up with. Among the more intriguing ones of the bunch are a couple of posters for Christopher Nolan's Inception, which as some have pointed out, seem to have a slight resemblance to early posters for The Dark Knight. I still have no idea what this movie is about, but I definitely want to find out. Other newly released one sheets include a pair of epic Clash of the Titans posters, a wanna-be epic Season of the Witch poster, and a very stylish poster for the new Tom Cruise / Cameron Diaz movie Knight and Day. »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

The Best of the Decade: 2000-2009
23 December 2009 9:56 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
A best of the decade list is an incredible thing to consider. The Aughts were ripe with imagination and originality. The past ten years also came jam packed with many new visionary directors that changed the cinematic landscape forever. Yet, at the same time, it was also a decade wrought with remakes, rip-offs, ten-year late sequels, and films based on preexisting toy properties, comic books, and amusement park rides. George Lucas offended almost everyone by dusting off his Star Wars mythos and adding copious amounts of CGI to it. And Batman, a caped figure in tights who last flourished in the trippy sixties, managed to crawl head and shoulders above the rest at the box office to be crowned king. Thus proving that the so-called "geek" or "fanboy" truly ruled the silver screen over the course of this tumultuous past decade. Today, we look at the ten films that ruled »
'Nine' Star Daniel Day-Lewis Has No Interest In Starring In A Hollywood Blockbuster
23 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
There are many reasons that Daniel Day-Lewis is considered one of the finest actors currently working in the movie business, with one of the most important ones being his highly selective process in choosing film roles.
Sure, it would be awesome to see Day-Lewis take on an iconic role in a Hollywood tentpole picture. How much fun would it be to see him in one of Christopher Nolan's "Batman" movies, for example? But don't hold your breath, as the "Nine" star recently told MTV's Josh Horowitz that the chances of him signing on for a blockbuster are highly unlikely.
"[This is] not meant to belittle those films or the people [who work on them], because there are people that need to do those films and love to do those films — they can be fantastically entertaining for the people who love to see them — but it's not for me," Day-Lewis said about the prospects of starring in a franchise film. »

Star Trek Wasn't Snubbed—and That's the Problem

The Dark Knight was snubbed. Star Trek is being ignored. To be snubbed during awards season is to show up at Oscar's club with all the right clothes, cologne and credentials, and be barred from the VIP room, just like The Dark Knight was, save its nomination, and eventual win, for Heath Ledger. To be ignored is worse. Welcome to Star Trek's universe. When the Golden Globe nominations were announced last week, it didn't occur to us, not once, to see how many nods Star Trek did, or didn't, get. And when we compiled a list of movies judged to have been snubbed by Globe voters it didn't occur to us, not until a reminder, to include Star Trek. Was this because »
