Black Adder Remastered: The Ultimate Edition DVD Review
12 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I am an anglophile. I will own up to that straight out of the gate. I grew up watching every BBC program offered by my local PBS station. That’s how I came to start my lifelong relationship with Monty Python. That’s where my fascination with Red Dwarf began. That’s how I came across Rowan Atkinson’s gem of a series Black Adder. Brit humor fans click to find more after the jump.
I was shocked, utterly dismayed actually, by the number of my friends who consider themselves pop culture princes and princesses and yet weren’t familiar with the masterpiece that is Black Adder. For those similarly uninitiated, Black Adder encompasses four series, each series containing six episodes a piece. Each series is set in a specific time period and follows the Blackadder that lives during that age. While the exact characters differ between series the actor and name stays consistent. »

tMF Exclusive Interview - Nicholas Hoult: A Fascinating Study of Character
19 hours ago | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
A Single Man, The Weinstein Company's Oscar bet this year, is a fascinating study of characters. Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, it depicts one day in the life of George, a middle-aged gay Englishman who works as a college professor in Los Angeles and whose lover, Jim, has recently died. - - -
- - - Playing Kenny, "a pretty-boy college student who appears to be stalking George (Colin Firth)", is Nicholas Hoult. During its La Press day, tMF was able to secure a phone interview with the young British actor. It must have been a tiresome day for Nicholas Hoult, but I never noticed, even once, any indication. Hoult was quite charming, seriously answered all my questions and even volunteered to add a few tidbits or two. What's so interesting is that he's very courteous, unlike some of the young actors based in Hollywood.

Check Out the New Clip For "A Single Man."
10 November 2009 11:44 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
This week the Weinstein Company came under criticism for having de-gayed the first trailer for their upcoming film A Single Man. I've requested a statement from the studio explaining why the trailer was changed, but have yet to hear back.
Meanwhile, today the studio released a short clip featuring Colin Firth and Matthew Goode, who play the lovers in the film, chatting about how content they are. So how does it measure up on the gay scale?
Take a look!

Frugal Christmas arrives early for Disney at UK box office
10 November 2009 9:04 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
It's only November and A Christmas Carol is already No 1, albeit with a lacklustre £1.92m. The box-office feast will only truly start next week with 2012 and the Twilight sequel
The chart-topper
Knocking Michael Jackson's This Is It off the top spot, Robert Zemeckis's motion-capture animation A Christmas Carol can at least be satisfied with its chart position. As for its opening gross – £1.92m – that's another matter entirely.
In the first place, it's behind the openings of the previous two motion-capture films from the Zemeckis stable: Polar Express earned £2.14m from its first weekend of wide play in 2004, and Beowulf debuted with £2.2m in November 2007. (And bear in mind, there were fewer than 60 3D screens in the UK when Beowulf opened, compared with 260 now.) Second, A Christmas Carol's debut is well behind that of 2009 big-hitters Bolt, Monsters Vs Aliens, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Up. It's even »

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

AfterElton Briefs: "A Single Man" Gets De-Gayed, Hot Shirtless Boy Bands, "South Park", and more.

People are talking about precisely who Colin Firth wants to be in bed with.
Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear. Yes, we're serious.
Above, you can see the one sheet for Tom Ford's A Single Man, which more than one blog is crying about the marketing being de-gayed. And not just gay blogs, because indieWIRE says the new trailer has also been de-gayed. It's not fresh news right now, but I'd like to thank reader Darrien for pointing out that Jan Moir was named Bigot Of the Year by Stonewall in the U.K. after a last minute nomination for her hateful articles about Boyzone singer Stephen Gately. Adam Lambert was profiled by the L.A. Times yesterday and says he's more interested in being Beyonce than Daughtry. There are a stack of really good, funny »

A Single Man Trailer
9 November 2009 10:42 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Prior to watching this trailer, I didn't know too much about Tom Ford's A Single Man except that it was one of three movies playing at Tiff this year with similar sounding titles (The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man and Brian Koppelman's Solitary Man being the other two). After watching this new trailer, I still can't say that I know very much about it, but in a way, that's actually a good thing. This is an artfully constructed trailer that relies more on atmosphere and imagery than plot elements to sell you on it (okay, and a little bit of Oscar buzz as well). Based on Christopher Isherwood novel, the movie stars Colin Firth as a gay college professor in the '60s who loses his lover and is stricken with grief. After a night out with his friend Charley (Julianne Moore), however, he starts to see the possibility of moving on with his life. »

'A Single Man' trailer: Do you smell Oscar buzz...or just vagueness?
9 November 2009 10:38 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Style hounds, gird your loins: The trailer for Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man is here, and lo, it is gorgeous. I'm a-quiver! Now that Mad Men has wrapped up for the season, I'll need my dose of mid-century design in other formats, and this moody trailer is so tantalizing I can hardly contain myself. (Not shockingly, Mad Men and A Single Man share a production desginer, Dan Bishop). Plus Asm is one of the 15 holiday movies we can't wait to see, Colin Firth is an Oscar contender, and the film is destined to break our hearts. Sign me up, »

It happens every year, almost without fail. Christmas day comes around and as I am tearing through my presents there is always that one gift. You know the one where the person giving it to you is so excited they hold it back so you have to open it last so they can make a big spectacle of it. Usually the bigger deal they make, the more I dread it. Not because I am ungrateful, but my appreciation hardly ever matches their excitement. Then there’s that whole awkward exchange where they think you don’t like it and you tell them you do but they don’t buy it because they were super excited but you weren’t as excited and… »

Trailer: Tom Ford’s A Single Man
9 November 2009 1:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Here’s the new trailer for Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’. The movie stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, and Ginnifer Goodwin and it’s set for release 12th February. Currently, at the time of writing, it has 8.5 out of 181 votes on IMDb as well as winning awards at the Venice Film Festival. Expecting good things from this one.
Synopsis: ‘A Single Man’ is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it is the story of a British college professor (Colin Firth) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.

A Christmas Carol Review
9 November 2009 12:59 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday story “A Christmas Carol” gets the 3D treatment, and the result is a visually stunning big-screen experience I’m sure many cinema goers out there will enjoy to the fullest extent. As far as I’m concerned, my feelings about this one are mixed.
The story doesn’t really require a lengthy introduction. The holiday season is in full swing, and Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) despises Christmas and everyone celebrating it. Then he’s visited by three ghosts who take him on an emotional journey, and before you know it, his meanness is gone for good…read more [ScreeningLog]
It’s hard to believe that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol 166 years ago, but here we are in 2009 and Robert Zemeckis has spent $180 million to produce a motion-capture animated film that retells the famous story. The movie opens this weekend on more than 2,000 digital 3D screens and »
