The Enemy Comes Small In Jackboots On Whitehall

1 hour ago | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

What's this?  A new World War II film featuring the likes of Ewan McGregor, Alan Cumming, Timothy Spall, Richard E Grant and Tom Wilkinson?  You would be forgiven if, on reading that cast list, you were bracing yourself for another piece of WWII Oscar bait or, perhaps, another trip down exploitation lane a la Inglourious Basterds.  But, no, a trip farther down the cast list gives a hint that this may not be the case ... after all, what would Stephen Merchant and Richard O'Brien - you know his face from Dark City, but his most enduring work is as the writer of Rocky Horror - be doing in one of those films?

No, writing and directing duo Edward and Rory McHenry have a little something else planned.  Something small but epic.  Something animated.  With toys.  Welcome to Jackboots on Whitehall, a revisionist history of World War II in which Goering, »

2010 Movie Preview: Part One - From 'The Adjustment Bureau' to 'Iron Man 2'

6 January 2010 12:54 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I was trying to figure out a way to do a 2010 Preview that wouldn't simply be an overwhelming list of films that you would have to tirelessly slog through day-after-day so I sat down with a list of every single film set to be released in 2010 and trimmed it down to 50 total films. I think this list offers up a good mix of films from a couple of horror films, plenty of drama, some blockbusters and a selection of indies.

As a result some films had to be cut from the proceedings and hopefully some you may not have expected will be introduced. Today I give you the first 24 films of the preview and they are listed in alphabetical order with cast and director information, a look at the synopsis and a quick comment or two from yours truly. Tomorrow I will be here with another 26 (accidentally forgot to add »

Top 50 Performances of the Decade (Male)

5 January 2010 5:01 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

They aren't ranked. Deal with it. I must thank these 47 actors again (three performers have two entries) one last time for delivering such indelible characterizations these past ten years. Bid them adieu before moving on to a fresh decade, the Teens. You may notice that this list includes no 2009 performances. It's too early! I don't wanna give away my upcoming nominees and I still need time to let the year settle. My dozen favorites are selected rather impulsively in red. And with "best/favorites" it's always subject to change with the passing of time... or moods.

Adrien Brody, The Pianist (2002)Andy Serkis, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) *

Ben Kingsley, Sexy Beast (2001)Bill Murray, Lost in Translation (2003)

2009's Top 10 Repeat Offenders in Tony Gilroy and Tom Wilkinson

4 January 2010 4:11 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

I still remember the range of emotions Tom Wilkinson tapped into for his lead perf in Todd Field's In the Bedroom -- and it's his pinch hitting stint in Michael Clayton that reminded cinephiles just has good the Brit thesp is. Tony Gilroy naturally found a spot for him in the corporate spy comedy Duplicity and when the cat and mouse game between Owen and Roberts felt contrived, we could count on the actor to indulge in his own game of charades. Loved the intro, slo-mo confrontation between Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti which I relate to those epic battles between mountain rams we find on the nature channel. - #8.
