The Notable Films of 2010: Part Six
27 December 2009 10:09 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: July 2nd 2010
Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.
Analysis: Its been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan who started it as a household name with labels of a moodern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".
Thus 'Airbender' marks a potential return to form for the helmer. An adaptation of the hit cartoon series »

International Trailer: Leap Year
23 December 2009 6:47 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The new International trailer and UK poster (which is pretty much the same as the Us one with a different colour background) for Amy Adams’ new movie, Leap Year has just been released by Optimum Releasing. Leap Year is directed by Anand Tucker and also stars Matthew Goode and John Lithgow. I’ve put the new trailer below the synopsis and you can click the image above to enlarge. Leap Year is released 26th February.
Amy Adams (Sunshine Cleaning, Doubt, Enchanted) is a young woman who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around. However she faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin. With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.

Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened.

Amy Adams' Journey Highlighted in New 'Leap Year' Clips
8 December 2009 1:51 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Universal Pictures has taken audience deeper into Anna's journey in "Leap Year" by releasing seven new clips. Most of the snippets give a look at the funny moments happening when Anna is accompanied by Declan across Ireland to meet her boyfriend, Jeremy. One snippet, however, features the major female character having dinner with Jeremy. Additionally, a particular clip exposes Anna in an airport.
In "Leap Year", Anna is described as a girl who is always in trouble and is expecting to get an engagement ring from longtime boyfriend, Jeremy, during a romantic dinner.

'Leap Year' trailer shows entire movie
14 November 2009 2:04 AM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
I'm a huge fan of trailers, but it is quite alarming how many previews these days show us an entire film. Case in point: the new trailer for Anand Tucker's upcoming romantic comedy "Leap Year."
Indeed, this one already reveals all there is to reveal (unless the movie boasts a major twist we don't see here, which i doubt), and on top of that, it doesn't even look that exciting or funny.
In "Leap Year," Amy Adams stars as a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend (Adam Scott) on leap day, Feb. 29. Tradition says men have to say yes on that day. »

Amy Adams 'Leap Year' trailer: More than just another witless rom-com? Or...not?
13 November 2009 12:29 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Okay, full disclosure: I loathe movies in which seemingly smart, talented women consider snagging a man (a barftastic expression in and of itself) to be the be-all, end-all goal of their existence. It's an insidious trope that reduces us to a flock of retrograde numbskulls. As an anthropological experiment/exercise in masochism, I dragged my husband and some pals to see Bride Wars on opening night earlier this year and I'm still scarred. (Serves me right, I know, I know.) There was a scene in which a small Tiffany box (i.e. The Coveted Ring!) falls from a closet shelf »

Loosening Up More Uptight Women w/ 'Leap Year'
13 November 2009 6:48 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Who started the whole cliche where an uptight American woman hits Ireland and finds out how to loosen up by a sexy, foreign man? There's something in the water over there in Hollywood's version of the country that makes every bloody romantic comedy feature this premise. It's not as bad as something like The Ugly Truth, that's for sure, but it pretty darned blatant.
Following in the footsteps of Matchmaker, P.S. I Love You, and other romantic fare, MSN has debuted a trailer for Leap Year (check it out after the jump), the film where Matthew Goode gets to recover from the trauma of losing his new wife to a female florist (Imagine Me and You), and steal a desperate Amy Adams from the likes of Adam Scott. Now granted, she is on her way to Dublin and meets the man in Wales, but they're still heading to the land of shamrocks. »

Leap Year and Grown Up Trailers Emerge Online

Universal Pictures has finally released the first trailer for Leap Year, a movie I have been waiting for awhile and its a romantic comedy about a woman who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day. I really like the director Anand Tucker, he did a great film called Shopgirl not to mention Simon Beaufoy, Slumdog Millionaire scribe, wrote the script. Oh yeah if you wonder why I have been waiting to see this movie look no more further than Amy Adams. i think she is great and will see anything she is in.
In Leap Year, Adams plays an uptight woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day, Feb. 29, following an Irish tradition in which women propose to men on that day and the man has to say yes. When weather derails her trip, she enlists the help of a »

First Trailer and Poster for Leap Year Starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode
12 November 2009 5:11 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Watching the trailer for Leap Year, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Who put Amy Adams in this Kate Hudson movie?” Adams is far too talented for a role which requires her to be a neurotic straight woman desperate for marriage and then do adorable pratfalls along the way. I don’t need to see this kind of movie again and I certainly don’t want to see Adams do a role she could do in her sleep.
Check out the trailer after the jump and try to imagine Kate Hudson doing this role. It’s depressing. You can also see the poster and read the brief synopsis. They are slightly less depressing the trailer.

Watch This: Official Leap Year Trailer Starring Amy Adams
12 November 2009 1:41 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Universal has premiered the trailer for Anand Tucker's Leap Year starring Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, and Adam Scott. This cute story follows Adams as she journeys to Dublin, Ireland to attempt to follow an Irish tradition and propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day. I had hoped that this was one of those random rom-coms that I might enjoy, but then they threw in all the physical humor (like sliding into the mud) and the overused Hollywood cliches (like her Blackberry), and I lost all hope. Oh and they also ruin the end of the movie as well, but I guess that's what you've got to do to sell to audiences in early January. Take a look!

Tina Mabry's "Mississippi Damned," an independent American production, won the Gold Hugo as the best film in the 2009 Chicago International Film Festival, and added Gold Plaques for best supporting actress (Jossie Thacker) and best screenplay (Mabry). It tells the harrowing story of three black children growing up in rural Mississippi in circumstances of violence and addiction.
