Oscar Eye: Predicting The Winners Following Precious's Giant Success

15 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

It's not often that much of anyone looks at the top of box office charts for the Oscar predictions, but here's a little-known fact for those of you who think of Oscar candidates as tiny movies that nobody sees: Best Picture winners are usually hits. At least by the time they wrapped up their theatrical run, most Best Picture winners of the last 10 years had made over $100 million, and those that didn't-- No Country for Old Men and Crash-- were hits on DVD. Audiences matter when it comes to who takes home the gold, no matter how many dour indies like The Reader come in for attention in a given year. And while it's all well and good for a movie to become a hit after it gets critical acclaim, it's a slam dunk when audiences embrace it from the beginning. So when Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By »

New Extended Trailer for ‘The Killer Inside Me’

6 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Casey Affleck has been known to take some pretty intense roles as of late. His first being the role of Robert Ford in The Assassination of Jesse James and then his work on his brother’s project, Gone Baby Gone. It looks like Affleck is going to step it up once again as Sheriff Lou Ford in the ultra-violent The Killer Inside Me.

The film is based on the novel by Jim Thompson, who also wrote the novels films such as The Grifters and The Getaway were adapted from. The original 1976 film starred Stacey Keach, who took on the role that Affleck is now running with.

The extended trailer shows off some of the intense moments (hopefully not all) from the film, such as some raunchy aggressive sex with both Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson, as well as a violent murder of one of them. This may just be the »

Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me Trailer Starring Casey Affleck

6 November 2009 11:34 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

I'm not always eager to post promo and sales trailers for movies when they find their way online because they're usually too long, rough around the edges, and quick to be pulled off the web anyway. They're not intended for the general public, and shouldn't really be judged as such. In this case, however, we've got our first look at what appears to be a very promising flick, and with all the talent involved I simply couldn't help posting about it. Michael Winterbottom's most recent film Genova didn't get a ton of attention at Tiff last year, but his previous two films, A Mighty Heart and The Road to Guantanamo both made my top 10 lists in their respective years. This time around he's teaming up with Casey Affleck, who is riding a wave of critical acclaim from outstanding performances in Gone Baby Bone and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, »

Scenes We Love: Miller's Crossing

6 November 2009 11:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

In the Great Coen Debates that occur among film fans, there's one that I never feel gets enough love: Miller's Crossing. It's probably my favorite next to The Big Lebowski. The film is deliciously dark and dreary (you can watch this in summer and still feel cold), but punctuated by that startling Coens humor. The dialogue and character quirks are not as exaggerated as they are in other Coen films, and when a character does get theatrical, it's appropriate to the setting. These are thugs who find themselves in positions of great wealth and power, after all, and they'll never know quite how to behave in the real world.

The film has a level of tension I don't think the Coens matched until No Country For Old Men. Tom's white-knuckle walk into Miller's Crossing is probably my favorite scene (actually, it's difficult to pick just one), but it doesn't appear to be on YouTube. »

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin win Oscar Hosting duties

4 November 2009 3:32 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are set to share the hosting duties at the 82nd Academy Awards. While Martin is a seasoned host, having performed in 2000 and 2002, this will be Baldwin's first time at the Oscars, although he is not unaccustomed to the spotlight as he is a fan favourite host on Saturday Night Live.

Baldwin and Martin are a fitting duo as they will soon be appearing on the big screen together, alongside Meryl Streep, in the upcoming Nancy Meyer film, It's Complicated. The co-hosts have taken over the duties from Hugh Jackman, who pulled out of the running last week. Some fans had hoped that he would opt to try and repeat his charismatic performance from last year while others had hopes that this year's Emmy Host Neil Patrick Harris would get the high profile gig.

Although multiple hosts have been something of a rarity over the past »

Robert De Niro's 'Everybody's Fine' premiere more like a Miramax wake than a celebration

4 November 2009 1:27 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

There has been scuttlebutt around Hollywood that the real reason Bob Iger is about to chop Miramax into a sliver of its former self is because of his unhappiness with the development and expensive marketing costs.  In the long run he intends to have someone else come in and resurrect the mini-major down the road.  Daniel Battsek had a pretty impressive track record with the Oscar-winning "No Country For Old Men" and "The Queen," but the last year found the barely profitable "Doubt," disappointing bombs such as "Adventureland," "Extract," "The Boys are Back" and the mishandled "Cheri."  That underachieving trend won't... »

Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to host Oscars

3 November 2009 12:58 PM, PST | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »

Oscar organizers on Tuesday named an unlikely pair of hosts for March's Academy Awards, comedian Steve Martin and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, a past loser at the world's top film awards.The choice of Martin and Baldwin comes as a mild surprise on the heels of last February's Oscar telecast hosted by song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman. It earned some favorable reviews and higher viewership than the previous year.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which gives out the Oscars, had previously hired "Hairspray" director Adam Shankman to co-produce and, based on Jackman's success and Shankman's history making musicals, the betting had been that organizers might aim for another music-oriented telecast.But Martin is known as a stand-up comedian and comic actor, while Baldwin's reputation was built in theater and film dramas like 2003's "The Cooler," which earned him a best supporting actor nomination. »

First Look: New Book Art for Upcoming Movie 'The Road'

3 November 2009 10:36 AM, PST | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Above is a first look at the re-release book art for The Road, which enters movie theaters (and the Oscar fray) in just a few short weeks on November 25, 2009. The 2006 book by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men) was a bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner that followed the journey of a man and his son across the landscape of a postapocalyptic America. It's now been adapted to movie form by director John Hillcoat (The Proposition), and debuted to much acclaim at this year's Venice International Film Festival (it's currently rated 89% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). Starring Viggo Mortensen and newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee, the movie's been described as both "bleak" and "moving" and, per the cover art, was declared by Esquire magazine as "The Most Important...

The gutting of Miramax, Pt. II: Is this the end of New York movie culture?

2 November 2009 3:58 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

Last week, it was announced that Miramax Films would close its New York offices, and that its president, Daniel Battsek, was being asked to step down. If that sounds like an unhappy day for the world of independent film -- well, it is. Yet as far as Miramax is concerned, it's really just one more nail in a coffin that was already slamming shut. In case you missed the news, here's the post I wrote back on Oct. 11 about the gutting of Miramax that took place last month, and what it could portend, in general, for studio specialty divisions. There's »

Movie Review: A Serious Man

2 November 2009 1:29 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Starring: Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed, Sari Lennick

Director: Ethan and Joel Coen

Release Date: October 2, 2009

Running Time: 105 mins.

MPAA Rating: R

Distributor: Focus Features

Up until A Serious Man, I don't think many would call Ethan and Joel Coen serious men. Looking at Fargo, Burn After Reading, and Raising Arizona, it's clear the Coens prefer to brandish their wickedly black, and sophisticated humor than make forays into stone-faced dramas. Even last year, when the two adapted Cormac McCarthy's heavily philosophical masterpiece No Country For Old Men, the film came out darkly sardonic. This makes their latest film so fascinating. Yes, there is still humor, but it's also heavily meditative and profound.

The cast is largely made up of unknown faces. The protagonist, Larry Gobnik, is played by Michael Stuhlbarg. He's a Jewish physics professor in the mid-west in 1967. His son is a unambituous pothead, »

Miramax President Leaves Amid Massive Layoffs

30 October 2009 6:01 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Disney shrunk Miramax at the beginning of October, getting rid of about 75% of the work force. It wasn't a major studio with thousands of employees, but 75% is pretty much a work stoppage. Hard for 20-odd employees to really run a competitive shop in the movie business these days.

Perhaps that's what Miramax president Daniel Battsek thought, as well. He's leaving the company, which is being shuttled across the country from New York to Burbank.

"With the change in direction at Miramax, we have reached a mutual agreement with Daniel Battsek that he will leave his post as president, effective January 2010," said newly minted Disney chairman Richard Ross in a statement. "During his 18 years of service, he has brought some very prestigious and award-winning films to the studio from Calendar Girls to The Queen to No Country for Old Men. We wish Daniel the very best on his future endeavors."

Miramax President Out, NYC Offices Closed

30 October 2009 2:45 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Four years after inheriting the reins at Miramax Films from the departed Harvey Weinstein, Daniel Battsek is out at the Disney-owned minimajor. Uglier still, the esteemed studio's New York offices will shutter permanently, and what operations remain will be consolidated in Los Angeles. That's quite the turnaround from Disney's previous announcement it would simply scale back Miramax's titles to about three per year. Battsek's tenure included multiple (if costly) Oscar triumphs including Tsotsi, The Queen and No Country For Old Men, but the studio's flagging fortunes in '09 and Disney's belt-tightening were ultimately too much for the exec to surmount. Best wishes to him and his New York colleagues, and a moment of silence for a great label brought to rest. [Dhd] »
