Sherlock Holmes's Costume Designer on the Case of the Missing Deerstalker Hat
23 December 2009 7:43 AM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
What Up, Holmes? Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes, in Guy Ritchie's new take on Arthur Conan Doyle's sleuth. You'll have to excuse Jenny Beavan if she sounds flustered. It’s understandable, considering that the eight-time Academy Award nominee for best costume design (winning in 1986 for A Room with a View), and the woman entrusted with bringing the fashion of 1891 alive for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, is currently parked on the side of a highway in the middle of a blizzard. "I've driven six hours down through snowy Britain, in a rather small car, sliding around on motorways,” says Beavan. “I can't even remember what I've done in my career!" Part of Beavan's job is to set the mood, something she's done to great effect, however unwittingly, for our conversation. Beavan shares her thoughts on reimagining one of the most iconic characters from literature and film. »
Sherlock Holmes Giveaway
16 December 2009 12:29 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Opening on Christmas Day is director Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. As I have said a few times, I saw the film and thought it was awesome. Great script. Fantastic performances from everyone involved. Amazing chemistry between Jude Law and Downey Jr. A third act that doesn’t suck. Action scenes that sell why Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes. But more than anything, the film is just a lot of fun. Cannot recommend it enough.
So to help promote the film, we’ve been given a bunch of cool Sherlock Holmes swag to giveaway. If you’d like to get any of it, hit the jump to see how to enter and take a look at the prizing.

8 Movie Clips from Sherlock Holmes Starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law
14 December 2009 12:57 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With director Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes getting released on Christmas Day, Warner Bros. has just released eight clips from the movie. While I always post whatever clips I’m given from the studios, I’m actually going to recommend not watching the clips. The reason is, the less you see from the movie, the more you’re going to enjoy it. When I went into the press screening last week, I had only seen the trailer, so I was able to watch the movie without knowing what was going to happen. I strongly recommend doing the same thing as Sherlock Holmes is an awesome, fun adventure that I think everyone is going to love.
As I said when I posted the 37 images a few days ago: Even though I love to nitpick movies, this is one of the rare films that I walked out completely satisfied. Great script. Fantastic performances from everyone involved. »

Morgan Freeman: He makes any movie better, but in 'Invictus' he's finally a great actor again
12 December 2009 9:28 AM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Whenever you sit down to watch a movie, it's always a welcome moment when the name Morgan Freeman appears in the opening credits. Whether he's playing God in Bruce Almighty, a saintly janitor in Million Dollar Baby, or a judge, detective, mechanic, or prison inmate, you can rest assured that each and every moment Morgan Freeman is on-screen, the movie, even if it's a dog, will snap to attention, and that Freeman, even in a nothing role, will take the lines he’s been asked to deliver and, through the sheer magnetism of his presence, turn them into something forceful and vibrant and compelling. »

37 High Resolution Images from Sherlock Holmes. Plus Steve Says the Film is Great
11 December 2009 9:38 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While Warner Bros. released the final batch of images from Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes yesterday, due to being in London covering the Avatar premiere last night, I’m a bit late posting them. But while I may be a bit behind, I have another reason for posting the images today…I wanted to say what I thought about Sherlock Holmes as I saw the film and loved it. While I was nervous about Robert Downey Jr.’s accent, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only does he sound the part, he’s absolutely kick started the Holmes franchise and I would be shocked if they aren’t making a sequel as soon as possible.
Also, even though I love to nitpick movies, this is one of the rare films that I walked out completely satisfied. Great script. Fantastic performances from everyone involved. Amazing chemistry between Jude Law and Downey Jr. »

Daniel Day-Lewis talks about Nine (and acting, reluctantly)
10 December 2009 1:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Daniel Day-Lewis will live rough, break bones and work through pneumonia to get inside his characters. It may be absurd, he says, but then, he's in an absurd business. He talks about his latest film, Nine
The Daniel Day-Lewis interview is set for Friday and then it's set for Saturday. It's at 3.30pm; it's at 1.15pm; it may not happen at all. Inside the swish London hotel, the press handlers are all hunched over their clipboards while Italian journalists keep tripping over TV cables in the corridor. Eventually, a pair of publicists forge through the melee to assure me that yes, the interview will indeed take place – but not right now. "Can we bring you some food while you wait?" asks the first publicist. "There's no food," says the second.
By this point I'm starting to wonder whether the Nine press junket might be some ornate PR stunt by the Weinstein Company, »

Turner Classic Movies Has 360 Reasons To Tune In
7 December 2009 9:18 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
In the days leading up to the upcoming Academy Awards, Turner Classic Movies will be playing a long round of Oscar-nominated and winning films.
The vintage movie network will air its perennial special "31 Days of Oscar" starting February 1. Paying tribute to films that feature the best that the cinematic medium has to offer, the month-long programming block has a special theme for 2010.
This year's "31 Days" is styled after the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon," which links actors movie by movie to the titular star. However, rather than six degrees, TCM will utilize a full circle with 360 degrees - 360 movies. Starting with Bacon himself, "31 Days" kicks off at 6 a.m. Et with the actor's "Only When I Laugh." The progression continues in a like format with Bacon's co-star, James Coco, in "Man of La Mancha." Coco's co-star, Harry Andrews, is then featured in "55 Days at Peking," and the sequence continues »
Beloved Turkey: Vibes
28 November 2009 8:24 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here to share a turkey for Thanksgiving. When Vibes arrived in theaters in 1988, I was predisposed to like it for a number of reasons. First, there was Cyndi Lauper in her first starring role. In the great Madonna/Cyndi debate of the mid-80s, I was firmly in Cyndi's camp. (Keep in mind that I was 12 years old at the time.) Second was her co-star, Jeff Goldblum, on whom I'd harbored a crush since watching his Seth Brundle awkwardly woo Geena Davis at the beginning of The Fly. (I chose to ignore the gallons of puss he spewed later in the film.) As an added bonus there was Julian Sands, whom I'd also mooned over since he swung from a tree in A Room with a View. Finally, add a zany Peter Falk, pathologically lying à la Vincent Ricardo, and you had the stuff of my cinematic dreams. »

Free Flick of the Day: The Boxer
16 November 2009 5:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
It has taken me a long, long time to warm up to Daniel Day-Lewis. Despite first meeting him in the tender and gentler characters he played in A Room With a View and The Age of Innocence, he was always that terrifying Method guy who sharpened knives on set and ate his own kills. I don't want to say I was scared of him, but I found him brilliantly off-putting, which is why I never saw The Boxer until this past weekend.
Directed by Jim Sheridan, The Boxer delves into the last gasp of the Troubles in Ireland. Former Ira member Danny Flynn (Day-Lewis) is released from prison on the verge of the 1998 peace treaty. He simply wants to get back to his life, resume a boxing career, and live in peace. But his former Ira allies are busy plotting last ditch efforts of violence, and they're furious at his neutrality. »

This Week On DVD and Blu-ray: November 3, 2009

Before we get into this week's releases I thought I would alert you to an upcoming 50% off Criterion Collection titles at Barnes and Nobles beginning on November 10 and running for two weeks. The full details, and a $5 off coupon, can be found in the DVD Talk forums.
Wings of Desire (Criterion Collection) This is a huge week for major title releases on Blu-ray as Criterion's release of Wim Wenders's Wings of Desire is just the first of three titles I reviewed and most likely blew my word count for the next two weeks trying to get all of my thoughts squared away.
As for this title specifically, it was my first time seeing it and as it played on and on I began to enjoy it more and more. However, if you read my lengthy review, you will »

Blu-ray Review: Howards End (Criterion Collection)
3 November 2009 3:30 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
My experience with Merchant/Ivory Productions is limited to say the least as Howards End now marks the second film of theirs I have seen, with A Room With a View being the other. While elegantly made, A Room With a View didn't move me that much, but I can say Howards End did a lot to squelch my fears it too would bore me more than engage me. Criterion brings Howards End to Blu-ray following their previous two-disc DVD release back in 2005, and while the only new feature is a video appreciation of the late producer Ismail Merchant by director James Ivory, this is a film ripe for high definition.
Based on the novel by E.M. Forster, Howards End takes a look at class divisions in Edwardian England and the inheritance of England by the working/lower class. The film centers on the well-to-do Wilcox family and the relationship »

Howard’S End Criterion Blu-ray Review
27 October 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
To American audiences, the late producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory are best known for their trio of E.M. Forster adaptations - which is telling for careers spanning 40 years and nearly 30 films together (almost all with writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala), making their Forster output roughly ten percent of their body of work. But then again, the names “Merchant and Ivory” are a sort of cinematic shorthand used to denote British films about boring people. My review of Howard’s End after the jump.
That’s not fair, it’s shorthand for particular literary works set at the turn of the century that depict the British class system in all of its repressive reputation, making it impossible for anyone to express their true feelings. To be fair, M&I’s Forster adaptations have been because of their most successful entries, with both A Room with a View and Howard’s »

tMF Talkback: Jane Campion's Bright Star 'not so stellar' says IndieWire - a fair analysis?
20 September 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
I rely heavily on INDIEWire when it comes to indie news for obvious reasons. Their Box Office reports are always insightful, up-to-date and worth a fair amount of time to look over and analyze. However, their latest report which focused on Jane Campion's latest movie - Bright Star - appeared to be unfair in their analysis of its Box office performance, say people related to the movie, in particular Bob Berney (who together with Bill Pohlad has bought Us rights to Jane Campion's Bright Star.)
- - -
- - - One portion of the article which is considered the point of contention reads:
"Star"‘s opening does not fare well against Campion's other films. On 7, 2 and 6 screens respectively, "The Portrait of a Lady," "Holy Smoke" and "In The Cut" each averaged between $15,000 and $17,000, while "The Piano" debut to a whopping $37,854 per its four theaters back in November »

‘From Paris With Love’ With a Hard-Hitting Trailer
17 September 2009 5:41 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Say what you will about this trailer for ‘From Paris With Love,’ it’s certainly hard-hitting. It still doesn’t answer our questions of whether all those “MFer”s were in the screenplay for ‘Taking of Pelham 123′ or if Travolta just felt the need to improvise most of them. Jonathan Rhys Meyers seems to be having loads of fun in this one, though, and he could make a progression to action star soon enough. We’ll see if his Declan returns for ‘Mission: Impossible 4.’
Until then, check out this trailer for Pierre Morel’s latest attempt to blow up his beloved capital, courtesy of Peter and the gang over at /Film:
It is a bit convoluted, and there are some wackier action scenes that you might expect from the guy who did ‘Taken.’ To note, he also did ‘District 13,’ to which, when compared, makes ‘From Paris With Love’ feel »

Before There Were Websites... (Pt 2)
10 September 2009 7:10 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
...there were scrapbooks (prev. pt 1)
Let's continue that silly reveal of my "Movies of the Eighties" scrapbook. I'm still hoping to locate the "Movie Stars of the Eighties" companion volume in which I ranked all the actors and actresses of the decade. Wouldn't that be a Rotfl experience? If I can find it I will share, despite the loss of dignity it will surely occasion.
Behold! To your left is the tv guide cover that started it all. I guess it wasn't an actual TV Guide as my personal mythology has always relayed but whatever television magazine thingie was inserted into the Detroit Free Press back in the day. That cover right there started my whole Oscar obsession -- look how worn, damaged and fingered it is. I thumbed through it so many times. What is this naked gold man they call Oscar??? This cover unlocked my latent awards mania. »

The Delightfully Prickly Julian Sands
3 August 2009 2:13 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
On the screen, Julian Sands is known for a wide spectrum of roles that make the most of his seemingly contradictory mixture of glowering, antihero intensity and ethereal leading man looks. On the telephone, he presents an equally formidable hybrid: Sands has got delightfully prickly down to an art. The British-born actor, who began his film career in "The Killing Fields" in 1984 and broke through the next year as George Emerson in "A Room With A View," has worked steadily in film and television for the last 25 years, starring in cult classics like "Warlock" and working with directors like David Cronenberg, Mike Figgis and Dario Argento, and gaining a television following with roles on shows like "24." Currently, Sands is starring as expat actor Reg Hunt in IFC's upcoming miniseries "Bollywood Hero." I spoke with him about his career, what sparks his interest in a role, and what audiences want from a golf movie. »
