Trailer: Steve Buscemi Is St. John Of Las Vegas
5 December 2009 10:57 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The first trailer for IndieVest Pictures' Saint John of Las Vegas has dropped, and it looks funny in that dry, Coen brothers sort of way that has you laughing at things that in any normal situation you might feel bad for laughing at. It's a virtual who's who of .that guys. with the ultimate .that guy. rocking the top line, Steve Buscemi. Other support comes in various comedic forms from Sarah Silverman, Peter Dinklage, John Cho and Romany Malco (that black guy from 40-Year-Old Virgin), with the always jaw-dropping Emmanuelle Chriqui rounding out the cast. Saint John premiers in January, so keep an eye out for if it makes it to your town. »

Saint John trailer

Steve Buscemi. That's all you need to know. Okay, it's not all, but it should be a good enough reason to watch the trailer. In Saint John Of Las Vegas, John (Steve Buscemi) is an ex-gambler that is lured back to his old ways by his boss (Peter Dinklage), a veteran insurance fraud investigator. Before John is sent off to Vegas to investigate a car accident with his bosses top fraud debunker (Romany Malco), he gets into a relationship with his crazy female co-worker (Sarah Silverman).

Quickcard Review
Directed by: Oren Moverman
Cast: Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson, Samantha Morton
Running Time: 1 hr 48 min
Rating: R
Release Date: December 4, 2009
Plot: Sergeant Will Montgomery (Foster) and Sergeant Anthony Stone (Harrelson) are the soldiers who have the unenviable task of notifying army families after a soldier dies in battle.
Who’S It For? It’s an emotional story, with a different perspective. We are watching soldiers deal with delivering bad news, instead of just watching families grieve.
Overall
War, what is it good for? Movies. Infinity is exactly how many movies can be made about war. Here’s a new one. The story of messenger’s delivering the worst news possible to families in an incredibly griping tale.
Will Montgomery has been selected after an injury sent him home. He tries to tell his superiors that it’s not a job for him because of his beliefs, »

First Trailer For Steve Buscemi’s ‘Saint John of Las Vegas’
4 December 2009 7:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Sarah Silverman is easily considered one of the most popular female comics working today. Unfortunately with that title often comes the inability to score roles as the sexy female lead. You never see Whoopi Goldberg as the sexy girl next door or Paula Poundstone as the attractive school teacher.
Thankfully, that’s exactly what we get with Steve Buscemi’s newest dark comedy, Saint John of Las Vegas. Silverman takes on the role of the attractive, manipulative cubical neighbor to Buscemi, who is later trumped by Emmanuel Chiriqui in the film.
The film stars Buscemi as ex-gambler John, who gets lured back into the sleazy underbelly of the City of Sin by a veteran insurance fraud investigator. The film also stars a few other folks who aren’t strangers to the world of indie comedy. Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent), Tim Blake Neslon (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), and Romany Malco »

Sally Potter: 'There was no such thing as an easy ride'
4 December 2009 1:56 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
More familiar with life on the fringes of British cinema, director Sally Potter finds herself the subject of a BFI retrospective. But she has no interest in looking back
In the late 1980s, Sally Potter was scratching around for funding to make Orlando, the Virginia Woolf adaptation widely considered her finest film, as well as a formative moment in the career of its star, Tilda Swinton. Potter's friend, the visionary director Michael Powell, had secured her a 10-minute meeting with Martin Scorsese, in which she hoped to convince him to extend a helping hand to a fellow maverick.
"Tilda and I went with our producer to meet Scorsese in New York," says the 60-year-old Potter, seated at a table in her east London office. "We walked into his place and nearly fainted with admiration. He then proceeded to spend the entire 10 minutes talking about how incredibly difficult life was for »

'Saint John of Las Vegas' trailer: It's a Buscemi bonanza!
3 December 2009 6:43 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I once worked at a magazine where we totaled up the minutes of time Steve Buscemi actually spent onscreen during the 1,792 films he had, at that point, appeared in. The answer was two and a half. I exaggerate (slightly). But there's no doubt the Fargo star is rarely handed the kind of chunky roles routinely gifted to actors who are no more talented but possess, well, more conventionally attractive, leading man looks (and I speak as someone who is rarely confused with George Clooney or Jon Hamm myself). However, the new comedy Saint John of Las Vegas seems to be »

Movies We Love: Fargo
2 December 2009 10:01 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Fargo (1996) I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. Synopsis Facing a mountain of debt, Minneapolis car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) hires thugs Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife Jean (Kristin Rudrüd) and ransom her for money from his wealthy father-in-law Wade (Harve Presnell). When Carl and Gaear leave three bodies in their wake on the car ride to their hideout in Brainerd, Minnesota, the pregnant local police chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) gets involved in the case. Why We Love It When he first reviewed it in 1996, Roger Ebert wrote “films like Fargo are why I love the movies.” I couldn’t say it any better myself. The crowning achievement in the illustrious careers of Joel and Ethan Coen, it’s the movie that most fully displays their preternatural knack for blending insightful character depictions with a keen sense of the ways genre work.

Oscar MythBusting: One Day They'll Be Nominated!
2 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Most fans of established actors believe that one day their favorite will be nominated for an Oscar. In 2009 campaigns hopes are particularly high for Sandra Bullock, Alfred Molina, Colin Firth and Christopher Plummer. Fans of James McAvoy and Sam Rockwell still hold out longshot hope. But guess what? The odds are, generally speaking, against them on February 2nd (two months hence!) when the lucky 20 are called.
Most actors aren't ever nominated for the big prize. People seemed surprise to read in an old Oscar Mythbusting column I wrote years ago that the majority of nominated actors (approximately 67%) never receive a second nomination. But I did the research and it's true. Even less likely than a second nomination: a first one. Consider this...
The following (living) legends have still never been nominated despite rich bodies of work and several classic films or exuberantly praised performances: Mia Farrow, Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Plummer and Donald Sutherland. »

Second Trailer for Michael Cera's 'Youth in Revolt'
30 November 2009 7:25 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
In a year full of delayed or scrapped release dates, another 2009 casualty was The Weinstein Company's Youth in Revolt with Michael Cera. It was going to open October 30th, which was probably too close to a fairly active awards season for the studio - just guessing - so it was moved back to January.
I have to confess, as bad as Year One was and as repetitive as Cera's performances have been over the years, this still looks pretty funny. It could be a case where all the good lines are in the trailer, but the dual personalities bit is kid tested, mother approved, so looking at the cast - Cera, Jean Smart, Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi - I'm willing to give this a pass in the entirely superficial trailer stage.
The second trailer gives me a little more hope, simply because we're seeing more than the first one showed us, »

Adding to their collection of films picked off from Berlin, Strand Releasing have acquired the U.S. rights to Florian Gallenberger's John Rabe - a big budget German feature that looks at the Nanjing massacre of 37-38 from a Schindler's List perspective. - Adding to their collection of films picked off from Berlin, Strand Releasing have acquired the U.S. rights to Florian Gallenberger's John Rabe - a big budget German feature that looks at the Nanjing massacre of 37-38 from a Schindler's List perspective. Winner of a four awards at the Golden Lolas (Germany's Academy Awards), this will be a perfect compliment/companion piece to the 2010 release of Lu Chaun's City of Life and Death. Strand is planning a Spring release. With popular Germans thesps Ulrich Tukur and Daniel Bruhl on board, this is a story about a German businessman who saved more than 200,000 Chinese during the massacre. »

Beloved Turkey: Vibes
28 November 2009 8:24 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here to share a turkey for Thanksgiving. When Vibes arrived in theaters in 1988, I was predisposed to like it for a number of reasons. First, there was Cyndi Lauper in her first starring role. In the great Madonna/Cyndi debate of the mid-80s, I was firmly in Cyndi's camp. (Keep in mind that I was 12 years old at the time.) Second was her co-star, Jeff Goldblum, on whom I'd harbored a crush since watching his Seth Brundle awkwardly woo Geena Davis at the beginning of The Fly. (I chose to ignore the gallons of puss he spewed later in the film.) As an added bonus there was Julian Sands, whom I'd also mooned over since he swung from a tree in A Room with a View. Finally, add a zany Peter Falk, pathologically lying à la Vincent Ricardo, and you had the stuff of my cinematic dreams. »

Discuss: Performer of the Decade?
25 November 2009 7:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Like many critics I'm working on my list of the best films of the decade. I have been doing lots of shuffling around, swapping some of the films in the top 20 with films in the top ten, just to see how they look. But something occurred to me. A lot of the films had one thing in common: Scarlett Johansson. What does that mean? Does it mean that she's the greatest actor of the decade? Or is she just lucky? I'm not sure what to make of it. I have never interviewed her (I was once all set for a phone interview for Girl with a Pearl Earring that was canceled) so I can't claim to know what she's like in real life. Frankly, she's not the greatest actor in the world; in bad movies she can seem awkward, fumbling with troublesome dialogue. But there's definitely something about her, and it goes beyond her blonde-haired, »

Trailer: Youth in Revolt
25 November 2009 7:15 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The ubiquitous Michael Cera is a Youth in Revolt, and having charmed 94% of the planet with his perpetual teenage geekery and now it looks as though the other 6% will have their chance, as the trailer for her next film Youth in Revolt is launched.
The cast for Youth in Revolt is an impressive, if male dominated, one, with Cera teaming up with Justin Long and Zach Galifianakis with veteran support from Steve Buscemi and Ray Liotta. The story has Cera as Nick Twisp falling in distant love with a supposedly unobtainable girl and you can guess the rest, but the source material is well regarded and if Director Miguel Arteta can capture the whistful, random essence of C. D. Payne’s novels then we’re in for a treat. Check out the trailer below.
The film will be released in early 2010.

New Trailer for Youth In Revolt Starring Michael Cera
24 November 2009 6:11 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The upcoming Michael Cera comedy Youth in Revolt has a new trailer and you should watch the original trailer to remain positive about the film. It has a good premise: Nick Twisp (Cera) is an 18-year old high school student who goes on a quest to lose his virginity to Sheeni (Portia Doubleday) by developing a “supplementary personality” named Francois who encourages Nick to break out of his timid nice-guy routine and be a bad ass who stands up for himself. Directed by Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl), the film co-stars Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Steve Buscemi, Jean Smart, and Ray Liotta.
Hit the jump to check out the new trailer and try to ignore Mr. Movie Voice. Youth in Revolt hits theaters on January 8, 2010.

Youth in Revolt Trailer: Too Much Rebellion
24 November 2009 3:41 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Dimension Films has released the full-length trailer for the upcoming comedy Youth in Revolt, starring Michael Cera. Based on a novel by C.D. Payne, the film tells the story of Nick Twisp (Cera), a young man who is driven to doing very bad things when the supposed love of his life, Sheeni (Portia Doubleday) is taken from him by distance and a preppy boyfriend. In order to do these bad things, he creates an alter-ego for himself named Francois. Having caught this film at the Austin Film Festival last month, I can safely say that it is the perfect kind of role for Michael Cera, who delivers the comedy beats from the right and the left. Alongside Cera is an incredible cast, which includes Zach Galifianakis, Steve Buscemi, Ray Liotta, Rooney Mara, Justin Long and Jean Smart as Nick's odd mother. It is an offbeat, quick-witted story handled with a quirky care that makes director Miguel Artera »

Youth in Revolt Movie Trailer #2
24 November 2009 3:13 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Dimension Films has released the second trailer for the big screen adaptation of C. D. Payne's epistolary novel Youth in Revolt. Michael Cera stars in this "irreverent story about the wild adventures of a teenage boy named Nick Twisp who meets the girl of his dreams while on a family vacation and has to turn his life and the lives of all those around him upside down in order to be with her." Newcomer Portia Doubleday plays Sheeni Saunders, and the film also features Steve Buscemi, Zack Galifianakis, and Ray Liotta. I had a chance to see this film at the Toronto Film Festival, and its quite good. The new trailer is a bit over the top, filled with horrible voice over and a bunch of songs that don't quite fit. Watch the new trailer now after the jump, and leave your thoughts in the comments below. Youth In Revolt »

Screen Queens: Hollywood Does AIDS
21 November 2009 6:49 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Hi everyone, MattCanada here with another weekly dose of gay cinema. This week we're looking at Philadelphia, the Oscar winning courtroom drama, essentially the defining Hollywood response to the AIDS epidemic.
I first saw this film as a kid. I must have been about seven when I watched it with my parents and it was definitely my, and probably many other people's, introduction to AIDS. For me it continues to shape how I think about the virus, the stigma, and the epidemic. Longtime Companion opened a few years earlier but this was the first mainstream prestige film to deal with AIDS and homophobia. Having two big stars in Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington must have seemed like a big step for Hollywood. All of this is well and good, but rewatching the film for the first time in over a decade, I had serious problems with its filmic construction and especially its politics. »

Interview: Ben Foster Brings Humanity to ‘The Messenger’
19 November 2009 12:40 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Ben Foster has stolen scenes in works as diverse as “Six Feet Under,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “3:10 to Yuma,” and “Alpha Dog,” but he truly shines in the spotlight of the lead role in “The Messenger,” giving the best performance of his career to date. The young actor was in town for the Chicago International Film Festival and took some time to speak to us about his research for the film, how one leaves such a dramatic work behind, and his love for co-star Woody Harrelson.
Foster stars in “The Messenger” as Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery, a young man returned home from his tour but with a few months of service left. To fill out his time, Will is assigned to the Casualty Notification Office (and partnered with Woody Harrelson’s Captain Tony Stone), the men who inform “Nok” (next of kin) when their loved one has been killed in the line of duty. »

Monsters, Inc. Blu-ray Review
19 November 2009 9:05 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I opined when it came to Up that it’s hard to judge the Pixar canon because there are so few missteps, but when it comes to favorites, everyone’s got to have one. You have to at some point think of which one you love the most. It’s not like they’re your children. Though a case can be made for almost every single one of their films, the one that gets me the hardest, and the one that always works me over like a sap is Monsters Inc. My review of it after the jump.
In the city of Monstropolis, their power supply comes from the screams of children, and no one is better at getting young children to freak out than James P. Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman). His best friend is Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), who he lives with and also handles his prep. The »
