Your Thanksgiving TV marathon guide: Friday

27 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

It's as much of an annual tradition as turkey, football, and awkward family dynamics -- the Thanksgiving weekend TV marathon. With Thursday behind you, why not go to the fridge, get some leftovers, and settle in to that nice groove in the sofa. And look, we've already done the hard part for you. Here's our guide to the best marathon programming for Friday, Nov. 27. *Bravo is running The Real Housewives of New Jersey all day long. I don't know why exactly this qualifies as "special" holiday programming since they pretty much air the various Housewives incarnations all the time anyway. »

Indie Roundup: 'Cracks,' 'Harry Brown' Deals and Trailers

18 November 2009 4:03 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Indie Roundup: Your quick guide to what's new and upcoming in the independent film community.

Deals. Our friends at indieWIRE report that Cracks has been acquired by IFC Films, which plans to release it next year via its IFC in Theaters platform. The film is the feature directorial debut of Jordan Scott, daughter of Ridley Scott. Eva Green (The Dreamers, Casino Royale) stars as a teacher and diving coach in an Irish boarding school for orphaned girls; Juno Temple, Imogen Poots, and Maria Valverde also star. "The trials and tribulations, for both the students and their unorthodox teacher," writes Kurt Halfyard at Twitch, "gradually are brought to a boil that subverts many of the typical paths in either a coming of age story or a typical 'school-girl dormitory' tale."

Michael Caine stars as Harry Brown, a retired Marine who determines to clean up his neighborhood after his best friend is killed. »

Weekly DVD & Blu-Ray Chopping List 11/17/2009

17 November 2009 9:00 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

I'm a little late on posting the list this week (I usually hit you with it on Sunday), but didn't want to miss my next-to-last pre-Thanksgiving chance to say "Gobble, Gobble! Motherfucker!" (Thankskilling, see below) again. Below the jump you'll find the full list of titles arriving in-stores this week in our weekly version of the famous Fangoria Chopping List.

She would soon be known as the lone survivor of a seven-day killing spree perpetrated by a seventeen year old boy the world would come to call "Basement Jack". For the next eleven years, Karen Cook lived in fear that one day Basement Jack would be released. Then, a court hearing in 2006 found that Jack Riley had not received a »

If Nolan Doesn't Direct 'Batman 3' Who Would You Like to See Take Over?

17 November 2009 4:14 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Batman On Film posted a short story last week saying "there's some scuttlebutt that in early 2010, Warner Bros. and Chris Nolan will finalize the plan for Batman 3." While many sites are running with the story and saying there will be an announcement of sorts, Batman On Film clearly states whether there will be an announcement or not remains to be seen, but the question of Nolan's involvement as director remains in the air.

I guess one would have to assume WB and Nolan would be smart to get things sorted out by at least June of 2010 so interviews for Nolan's new film Inception won't be bogged down with conversation asking about the next Batman feature, or at least kept to a minimum.

Will Nolan be back? My gut tells me yes he will be, but I could also see how the death of Heath Ledger and perhaps the expectation The »

Shadows of The Dark Knight Pt 1: The new wave of dark movies

17 November 2009 4:13 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Welcome to the dark side of cinema, where horror meets heroes.

Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight soared at the box office last year, becoming America's second highest-grossing movie of all time and earning a billion dollars.

The film was dark in more than just name, pushing its rating to the limit and leading to record complaints about film censors being too lenient with its certificate.

Its success led to predictions that it would be a trendsetter in superhero moviemaking. So what happened to the dark era of comic book adaptations? Do dark movies work? And should all superhero films be dark?

Human Horrors

The trend for sinister cinema started way before Nolan's Batman adventure.

The past few years have seen a growing tendency in films to show man himself as the monster rather than fantasy creatures and mythical beasts.

This became firmly established through a number of slasher films and »

Bad Boys Grow Up

17 November 2009 6:00 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »

Let's start with a few images: A psycho jive artist dancing around as he cuts a man's ear off. A retired bullfighter slumped in front of a television set, masturbating furiously to slasher movies. Scenes like those, from Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and Pedro Almodóvar's "Matador," pretty much secured the bad-boy reputations of their creators. Tarantino came to be regarded as a hyped-up pop culture junkie spritzing bloodshed and movie references in equal measure. And Almodóvar was thought of as something like the post-Franco John Waters, mixing '50s Hollywood-style melodrama with cheerful hedonism awash in sex and drugs.

But at this year's New York Film Festival, it was Almodóvar's latest, "Broken Embraces," that was chosen for the stately closing night slot. And about a month or so before the festival, Tarantino's latest film, the epic World War II adventure "Inglourious Basterds," became the unlikeliest hit of the year. »

Eva Green is always being asked questions about Daniel Craig.

FlashForward Season 1, Episode 8 Review: Playing Cards With Coyote

13 November 2009 1:21 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Is there any show more annoyingly inconsistent on television right now than ABC's FlashForward? After finally moving the series' plot forward last week and giving us our first set of answers, I had hoped that we may have reached a turning point; that the chunks of filler material might be at an end and that the characters might turn their thoughts once more to actually investigating the blackout.

Unfortunately old habits die hard and this episode sees the series use its most brazen time-wasting device to date; having Simon and Lloyd play poker against each other to decide whether they will reveal their role in causing the flashforward.

The James Bond film Casino Royale proved that, with appropriate stakes for each character, card games are capable of being gripping. Here however the situation feels so contrived and the stakes so low that the sequence is completely devoid of tension, playing »

DVD review: Star Trek

13 November 2009 7:33 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Paramount, rental and retail

As reboots for an old, tired franchise go, this is nearly as good as Martin Campbell's Casino Royale, which similarly went back to basics to explain the character's formation. The "making of" extra makes it clear that director Jj Abrams felt it needed "a little more rock'n'roll". As well as speeding things up, he also made as much of it as real as he could, even using outdated concepts like miniatures. There are moments of real beauty alongside the complex plot explaining how Kirk and Spock came to meet. Diverse elements, including Simon Pegg's Scotty and a gaunt 78-year-old Leonard Nimoy are successfully worked in and, for anyone who has seen Zachary Quinto in Heroes, his casting as the contemporary Spock is, well, logical. The best Star Trek film to date, except for Galaxy Quest.

Eva Green Used To Come Close To Fainting Because Of Her Shyness

12 November 2009 7:08 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »

The ‘Casino Royale’ actress – who has previously stripped naked in first film ‘The Dreamers’ – claims she hates drawing attention to herself and often finds herself struck dumb in social situations. Eva, 29, said: “At school when a teacher asked me a question I would almost pass out “I was terrible and still can be. It overwhelms me. I can be having dinner with people and I find I can’t say a word. “So being an actor is kind of masochistic.” The French beauty recently revealed she was also insecure about her body, despite a successful modelling career. She revealed: "I hate my bum. I'm like everybody.
