Newsweek Blames George Bush for Dark, Depressing Movies - Do You Agree?
9 December 2009 6:02 PM, PST
| Cinematical
| See recent Cinematical news
»
In the cold light of history, I'm sure there will be plenty of blame to be laid at the feet of one George W. Bush, but blaming him for movies? Well, that's what Ramin Setoodeh over at Newsweek is proposing -- that the rash of downer films that have littered the box office in the last two years is all because of big bad Bush, and it's a bit of a leap. After all, there's the tried and true logic that awards season usually has studios releasing their 'serious' pictures, and in the world of cinema, serious usually means depressing. But Setoodeh has some evidence to back up his claims, mainly that in the so-called 'golden years' of Bill Clinton, films like Shakespeare in Love and The Full Monty were Oscar contenders, and now we have grim, foreboding films like There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and Slumdog Millionaire.

Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (December 04, 2009)

It's Like Having 34,000 Kids. And You Better Not Have A Favorite!
In my last Best.Gay.Week.Ever! I included a collage to show the avatars of just a few of our wonderful AfterElton.com readers who make this site such a great, vibrant place. Just a nice way to show my appreciation with no possible repercussions, right?
Wrong! The squabbling between readers started almost immediately along with charges of favoritism and possibly bribes being offered to a certain editor. Honestly, I haven't seen so much arguing since the last Walker family dinner on Brothers & Sisters.
To assuage those hurt feelings and show that I don't have favorites, I've put together an even bigger collage of avatars chosen strictly at random! There are no favorites here! I love all 34,000 Ae readers equally! I swear!
Sadly, one of the most ferocious arguments that broke out over the previous collage was between

Kristin Chenoweth Has "12 Men of Christmas" In New Lifetime Movie
3 December 2009 12:41 PM, PST

»
She is one lucky woman.
It would be so easy to hate Kristin Chenoweth. She's got a voice that makes angels weep, an
Emmy, gets to strut around the set of Glee,
and now she's telling hot mountain men to strip and getting her feet rubbed by Cougar Town's Josh Hopkins. It's a good thing
she's irresistibly adorable.
In her new Lifetime movie, 12 Men of Christmas, premiering Saturday, she plays a big city
publicist who loses her job, and ends up in Montana running their tourism
department. When she doesn’t get results from the natural beauty, she decides
to go for the natural studliness of the men, and make a naked calendar. She
calls it Calendar Girls meets The Full Monty. I call it the plotline
that would have made me watch Men In
Trees.
Since it is Christmas, Lifetime decided AfterElton.com readers had been good and

Chico's Lunchbox could usher in a golden age of X Factor feature films
30 November 2009 4:34 AM, PST
| The Guardian - Film News
| See recent The Guardian - Film News news
»
The Welsh-Moroccan powerhouse is lining up a comedy à clef of his stripping days, while Susan Boyle's brother reckons Kathy Bates might be the woman for the Scottish singer's story
The Full Monty was a decent film and all, but it wasn't perfect. Where, for instance, was the troupe of irrepressible breakdancing children? Where were all the oddly patterned shirts? And why, for God's sake, wasn't Robert Carlyle's character a Welsh/Moroccan former goat herder with a catchphrase based on his profound inability to grasp the concept of chronology?
Well, fret no more. All of those problems are about to be ironed out. And, somewhat distressingly, Chico from X Factor is the one who'll be doing the ironing. He's co-written a film with a man who Wikipedia claims is his lodger. It's called Lunchbox. It's a "raunchy comedy about a stripping troupe on tour in Europe". It's based on Chico's own life.

Review: Nativity!

Simply put, this is a first class British Christmas film for all the family and with tomorrow being the 1st December, there’s nothing better at the cinema to put you in the Christmas mood than Nativity!
Starring Martin Freeman (TV’s The Office and 2006’s ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’), it is the story of a primary school teacher who in an attempt to position (and defend) his school as one that is going places, exaggerates to an old school rival that his Hollywood connections are coming to watch his schools Nativity play that his is producing. This small white lie snowballs big time and before Freeman knows where he is, the local press, TV news and Council are aware of his ‘achievement’ and praise him for turning the school around.
His tall tale and the consequences it creates aren’t all down to Freeman but also from supporting actor Marc Wooton,

Slumdog Millionaire is the year's most rented DVD, a survey has claimed. The Mirror reports that the poll, carried out by rental company Lovefilm, discovered that Burn After Reading and Taken completed the top three. Audiences were most likely to rent drama, but comedy was the next most popular genre. Film fans also preferred movies made locally, with residents of Edinburgh most likely to watch Trainspotting, and The Full Monty most popular with people living in Sheffield. Terry Pratchett's The Colour Of Magic was the most popular television DVD, followed by (more)

Film review: Machan
19 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST
| The Guardian - Film News
| See recent The Guardian - Film News news
»
It's no coincidence this waggy-tailed underdog yarn from Sri Lanka puts you in mind of The Full Monty: it's the directorial debut of that film's producer, Uberto Pasolini. And not only does it share the skeleton of a plot with the Sheffield strippers - in this case a motley crew of poverty-stricken pals form a handball team hoping it will prove their ticket to Europe (the championships are in Germany) - but it also has the same curious tonal mix: chirpy with a squeeze of suicidal. Machan comes dripping with plaudits from its world tour of film festivals, and is buoyed up on hype. But it's not a disappointment: this is Slumdog sans songs, but with real soul. It's funny, too.

BBC dance contest Strictly Come Dancing attracts series high of 8.7 million but is still eclipsed by ITV singing show The X Factor
Strictly Come Dancing enjoyed its biggest audience of the seventh series so far but still lagged far behind ITV1's The X Factor in the ratings battle on Saturday 7 November.
The BBC1 celebrity dance show, which saw the exit of Craig Kelly and his dancing partner Flavia Cacace, pulled in 8.7 million viewers and a 38% share between 6.25pm and 8.15pm, according to unofficial overnight figures.
The X Factor, which clashed with Strictly Come Dancing for just 15 minutes, averaged 11.8 million viewers and a 47% share between 8pm and 9.35pm.
Strictly Come Dancing had the better of ITV1's New You've Been Framed! and Harry Hill's TV Burp, which drew 4 million and 5.4 million viewers respectively, while The X Factor beat BBC1's Casualty, which averaged 4.6 million viewers and an 18% share, between 8.25pm and 9.15pm.

Mathematicians find formula for a hit sequel

Calculation aims to take risk out of deciding whether follow-ups to cinema hits will be a sure thing, or a disastrous gamble
Ever wondered why Spider-Man 2 triumphed and Basic Instinct 2 bombed? Now a group of academics have come up with a mathematical formula to predict the fortunes of a film sequel.
Hollywood has long known a follow-up is a fairly safe bet and franchises from Pirates of the Caribbean to Star Wars have dominated cinema schedules for years. But until now decisions about what to invest in a sequel or how much to pay for rights to a franchise have been based on some simple rules of thumb and a good dose of gut feeling.
Based on factors such as whether key stars are still on board, how long it has been since the last film and how that performed, the researchers say they can calculate what producers can
