I Love You Phillip Morris Trailer
I’ve been waiting for a glimpse at this movie for some time. Despite making successful rounds at various film festivals, it started to look like American audiences wouldn’t get to see Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor get it on in I Love You Phillip Morris — a film that is partially based on at true [...]
Win Tickets to a Screening of Orphan!
Win Tickets to a Special Screening: July 21, 9PM There’s something wrong with Esther…Besides being called Esther, and looking like the creepiest thing in pigtails since Pippi Longstocking. Apparently this little stern-faced adolescent is a pretty sinister spawn with a secret. Find out what that is at a special screening of Orphan on Tuesday, July [...]
Soundtracking 500 Days Of Summer (NPR)
Lyrics As Shorthand : NPR Music via npr.org Music plays a huge role in (500) Days of Summer, which opens next week. To get a little preview of the film, check out this piece from NPR that features first-time director Marc Webb discussing the kick-ass soundtrack
Brüno
What exactly is the expected reaction to watching a gay man mime blowing a ghost? Part of it might depend on the technique or the ghost — one half of Milli Vanilli, for instance — but it’s safe to say that either you find that sort of thing amusing or you don’t. There are small gradations on either end of the reactionary spectrum, but very little middle ground. That’s the test you should use in deciding whether to see Brüno this weekend, Sacha Baron Cohen‘s follow up to his 2006 hit, Borat. Don’t try to trick yourself into thinking it’s not that shocking, because giving an apparition oral — talk about ectoplasm — is one of Brüno’s lesser offenses. Cohen’s new film, which traces Brüno’s journey to be “the most famous Austrian since Hitler” and “the gayest since Schwarzenegger,” surpasses his landmark Borat by trading guffaws for dropped jaws. Cohen’s disruptive, guerrilla anthropology will have you out of your seat, either laughing hysterically or leaving the theater.
“Moon” Q&A — Sam Rockwell, Duncan Jones
These two clips were actually created earlier this year during Moon‘s premiere at the SXSW film festival. But, in honor of the film’s expanded distribution this coming weekend — to DC, in fact — I thought it’d be neat to revisit this short Q&A with Sam Rockwell and Duncan Jones. Keep in mind, you may [...]
How do you interview a terrorist? (Bruno)
via thebrunomovie.com This really does show show the genius of Sacha Baron Cohen and the balls-out (literally) border-pushing of his new film Bruno. Posted via web from Popscorn
Big Fan Trailer
I’ve never really understood sports fanatics. Or even fans, for that matter. The type of visceral reaction one can get from watching a good or bad game is an interesting psychological equation. It seems even more complicated for Patton Oswalt’s character, Paul, in Big Fan. Judging from the trailer, the film does appear pretty damn [...]
