JFK Blown Away...Something, Something

post from Dave's Blog About Movies and Such on 05 November 2009 09:24:00 PM. © Dave's Blog About Movies and Such

Mad Men has been fucking amazing this year. On the most recent episode [SPOILER ALERT!] the president on the show, this guy named JFK, got assassinated. I totally didn't see it coming. He was one of my favorite characters. [Sure he didn't have a lot of screen time, but he made his presence known. He was like Boba Fett and shit.] Then, like a couple days later, the guy who shot him (Lee Harvey something) got shot on live television by this titty bar owner named Jack Ruby. I was like, what? Shit was crazy. It was cool and all, but I think the show might have jumped the shark. I don't know how Matthew Weiner (ha, ha, weiner) is gonna top that, except maybe if the guy who replaces JFK starts a war in a small Southeast Asian country.

It’s Complicated Trailer: Meryl Streep and
Alec Baldwin Get It On

post from Film School Rejects on 05 November 2009 09:22:00 PM. © Film School Rejects

itscomplicated-header

Alec Baldwin is randomly crying. Meryl Streep is a little bit of a slut. Steve Martin, still crazy. And writer/director Nancy Meyers — purveyor of such estrogen-infused classics as What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give and The Holiday – is back again for another round of romcom with It’s Complicated. This time, she’s taking the story of a divorced woman (Streep) who starts having a fling with her fast-talking ex-husband (Baldwin), even though he’s now married to a younger woman (Lake Bell) and she’s got a thing with her architect (Steve Martin).

It’s all very derivative — the kind of romantic comedy you take with a dose of promethazine (via suppository, of course) for your arthritis. You know, the ultimate sequel to Meyers’ Mel Gibson collaboration, What Old People Want. Alas, there is no doubt that Alec Baldwin will be his stock brand of hilarious and Meryl Streep will be her stock brand of graceful, classy and ever-so-charming. Doesn’t guarantee a great movie-going experience, but it’s a start.

See the trailer and official synopsis below, courtesy of Apple.

Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something?s Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It?s Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between. Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has?after a decade of divorce?an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son?s college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable?an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane?s kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he?s become part of a love triangle. Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It?s?complicated.

Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake Cast

post from /Film on 05 November 2009 08:28:31 PM. © /Film

BRUNO Deleted Scene: Pete Rose

post from Rama's Screen on 05 November 2009 08:08:36 PM. © Rama's Screen

BRUNO was one of the worst comedy of the year. Not because of Sacha Baron Cohen’s usual raunchy, no holds barred sense of humor but because that humor was not funny at all this time around compared to his previous hit BORAT. But one scene in the movie that did get me to chuckle was [...]

Get YOUR NAME in the Credits of the Paranormal
Activity DVD Release

post from /Film on 05 November 2009 08:00:09 PM. © /Film

Paramount Pictures wants to reward all of the internet moviegoers which helped make Paranormal Activity a viral phenomenon. Sure, some might argue that the marketing campaign was a very calculated attempt to make it feel like the audience "made the success" of the movie, and those people might not be wrong (but who cares? really...). Paramount is now taking that marketing concept to the release of the Blu-ray/DV, by putting YOUR NAME in the credits of the home video release. Head on over to the ParanormalActivityProject.com and fill in your name, email, and birthdate and you will be featured in the DVD credits. How cool is that?This isn't the first time this has happened. Peter Jackson held a simuler stunt with the Extended Editions of The Lord of the Rings series, allowing fan club members to have their names in the DVD credits. And Kevin Smith famously included the first ...

Danny Boyle Opens Door to World's Least Likely
Movie Source Material

Once when searching for the stuff of films, we looked towards epic military confrontations and doomed luxury liners. But today director Danny Boyle has ushered in a new age of blockbuster films about the most agonizingly boring stories imaginable.

For his follow up to Slumdog Millionaire, Boyle announced today, he will make 127 Hours, the story of a hiker who spent five days trapped under a boulder until he amputated his own arm to escape. That pitch may not be the sort of thing people generally think of when looking for thrilling real life stories to brought to life on the big screen, but if Hollywood is now open to the great moments of tedium or mundanity of human experience, we thought we'd take a look around and find what other gems are sitting out there today, just ready for their close ups.

TSARFACE: When a new President appoints special advisers to co-ordinate different departments of the federal government, one brave Senator says enough is enough and dares to introduce an amendment that would give Congress oversight over the villainous practice.

DUDE, I DO THIS EVERY NIGHT: One man drives drunk for years without incident, until at last, he is pulled over.

HANDS DOWN: In a time of influenza, a former public health commissioner dares to speak the truth about people who dont cover their mouths when they sneeze.

BLOGAGGEDON!: A showbiz blogger calls other showbiz's bloggers' Oscar predictions a bunch of hooey. Recriminations ensue, at other blogs and in the comments section.

SEXJACKED: Seeking only to provide for his family, an Australian cabbie finds his quiet evening is turned into a nightmare when a couple makes him get out of hs taxi so they can have sex in it.

And this is all just one day's news! As art has taught us through the ages, real life truly is the stuff of great art, when properly packaged.
