Tran Anh Hung’s The Taste of Things is almost halfway done before it even hints that there’s something going on within its fin-de-siècle setting besides the creation and consumption of beautiful meals. The film’s first half hour is in fact just that, with Eugénie (Juliette Binoche), a veteran cook in the manor home of Dodin (Benoît Magimel), the epicure for whom she’s been working for over 20 years, making an extravagant, multi-course meal for him and his friends. The men eat the food, then compliment Eugénie on her cooking.
Given the close yet unfussy attention paid to the choreography of cooking, with Jonathan Ricquebourg’s camera flowing sinuously through the kitchen and peeking into pots as ingredients are added and steam billows out, it would have been satisfying if Hung had just concluded the film with well-fed Frenchmen chatting over a digestif. Fortunately, he’s interested not...

Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence’s appearance has shifted because she’s “ageing” and not because of plastic surgery, says the actress.
The 33-year-old actress agrees that her appearance has changed over recent years, but she says she hasn’t gone under the knife.
“I started at 19, so I get the before and after pictures from when I’m 19 to 30 and I’m like, ‘I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I’m ageing.’ Everybody thought I had a nose job, and I’m like, ‘I’ve had the exact same nose. My cheeks got smaller. Thank you for bringing it up,’ ” Lawrence told Interview magazine.
She highlighted the influence of Hung Vanngo, the acclaimed make-up artist, reports aceshowbiz.com.
She explained, “I also think it’s incredible what make-up can do because I work with Hung, who overlines the lip, and I...

The Ten Tigers of Guangdong or Kwangtung were a group of ten kung fu masters who lived in southern China during the 19th Century Qing Dynasty. At times, their fighting skills recalled the styles of the better known Henan Shaolin Monastery of Mount Song, although they had lineage to the Southern Shaolin Monastery of the Fujian Province due to the connection between these two Monasteries. While much of their reputations had been enriched by folk legends passed down from generation to generation, these ten men were highly respected and considered as the greatest boxers in the Guangdong province during the Qing era.

The unholy union of rock music and horror is alive and well in Art of a Hit, a psychological horror movie set to begin production soon according to Deadline.
Formerly titled Excelsis, Art of a Hit is set in 2003 and “follows a bygone rock band as they journey to a 1000-year-old French chateau to record with a reclusive super-producer in hopes of rebooting their career. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, they realize they are up against more than just the pressure to succeed.”
Deadline reports that “Indie rock pioneer Adam Lasus is music directing the ’90s alternative-heavy soundtrack alongside music supervisor Linda Cohen (Licorice Pizza).”
That exciting tidbit not only highlights that music will be prominent to this rock horror story, but it’s 2003 eschews the conventional ’80s hair metal movement frequently explored in this niche subgenre. I suppose the real question at this point is just how...

In 1970, prominent Hong Kong producers Raymond Chow and Leonard Ho left the legendary Shaw Brothers studio to found the now iconic Golden Harvest. The new studio would grow to dominate the Hong Kong film landscape for the next thirty years, overseeing the rise of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and, of course, the immortal Bruce Lee.
