Guitar Hero: A Future Brett Ratner Film

post from /Film on 28 August 2008 11:52:46 PM. © /Film

There are worse directors in the world than Brett Ratner. For example, despite trouncing the great character work found in the first two X-Men films and dishonoring their memory, X3 was at least competently directed with action scenes that made some sort of visual sense. But here at /Film, Ratner is someone that we [...]

Japan Hates The Dark Knight!

post from /Film on 28 August 2008 11:41:53 PM. © /Film

Film Junk is reporting some fairly surprising news–The Dark Knight is not doing so well in Japan. And by not so well, I mean that it’s only pulled in $8.7 million after being in theaters for three weeks. Of course, part of the problem is that it’s competing against Hayao Miyazaki’s latest opus, Ponyo on [...]

Max Makowski is the Director of VOLTRON

post from Rama's SCREEN on 28 August 2008 11:21:24 PM. © Rama's SCREEN

Latinoreview knows who’s going to direct the movie version of VOLTRON. When it was reported that the project was put into turnaround and that Relativity picked it up and wanted to make it with an affordable budget, I never thought it would go so cheap and come to the point of hiring nobody famous as [...]

Supernatural - Series 2 Episode 15

post from Shiny Movie Guide on 28 August 2008 10:22:00 PM. © Shiny Movie Guide

Tall Tales
Dir: Bradford May

Sam and Dean investigate a number of reports from a college campus regarding aliens, alligators and other strange occurrences. With some help they discover the events may be the work of a Trickster.
Hilarious episode that showcases the writers great sense of humour. The tales Sam and Dean tell about each other are some of the funniest scenes yet, with both of them exaggerating the other one's character traits to great effect. What it lacks in scares and suspense it makes up for with a clever story and great performances. The actors are clearly enjoying themselves and it's good to see a lighter episode that steps away from the intensity of the series main arc.
Episode Rating: 8

The /Filmcast: After Dark - Ep. 14 (GUEST: Paul
Scheer)

post from /Film on 28 August 2008 09:22:07 PM. © /Film

The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it?s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient [...]

Docmakers' Denver Welcome Gives Way to GOP
Convention Crackdown [Defamer Decides 2008]

For every Steven Spielberg flinging a Democratic National Convention short film out the limo window on his way to his cabin retreat in the Rockies, we're learning there are a few dozen other filmmakers scavenging the floor of the convention hall with cameras and about two hours' sleep. Such is the spirit of democracy (or something — don't ask) fueling the makers of Convention, who have seemingly been everywhere at once this week trailing delegates, pols and pundits alike. And they're not the only ones winding down their routines tonight as Barack Obama's speech closes the event; Mayor of the Sunset Strip director George Hickenlooper is hanging around with his cousin, Denver mayor John Hickenlooper, and Amy Rice and Alicia Sams are neck-deep in their top-secret, Ed Norton-backed documentary following the Obama campaign.

We hope they enjoyed the goodwill, because we're also hearing that the folks overseeing next week's GOP Convention in Minneapolis may do things a little differently:

Late Monday night three videographers from the New York-based Glass Bead Collective were detained by Minneapolis police officers, who spent about an hour questioning them and searching their belongings. In the end, they were released without charges, but they say officers confiscated a number of personal belongings, including their video and computer equipment, cell phones and clothing. ...

[P]olice asserted that "they were allowed to conduct the search and seizure under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security due to security risks leading up to the Republican National Convention." (The police report obtained by Daily Planet lists an unspecified "Homeland Security Offense.") The videographers had been walking by a railroad, and Daily Planet reports that police were seeking a warrant to search the items for evidence of trespassing in a railroad yard, a misdemeanor offense, but a lawyer tells us all their belongings have been returned, except for some cash and [a driver's] license.

"Except for some cash"? A documentarian actually had cash? On her person?!? And they let her go? Stay indoors, Minneapolis! Suspect is loose!
