DVD review: Sunshine Cleaning
17 December 2009 2:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Anchor Bay, rental and retail
Produced largely by the same team as the delightful Little Miss Sunshine, this is never as successful or as funny as that surprise hit, but does have the performances of Amy Adams and Emily Blunt to commend it. Not only are these strong and empathetic, but they are playing very much against type: the usually imperious Blunt is the family screw-up, while Adams, sunny, ever-optimistic star of Junebug, is the sensible sister, putting together a new family business cleaning up crime scenes. Director Christine Jeffs, best known for Sylvia, juggles the dark humour and wistfulness with skill at times, but the ending is jarringly unconvincing.
Rating: 3/5

Overture Sets Deal in 'Stone'
12 December 2009 6:25 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
I've sort of lost track of this project since it was first announced as a possible The Deer Hunter reunion between Robert De and Meryl Streep. A lot has changed since this first announcement. De Niro and Edward Norton remained on board but the supporting actresses were changed for Frances Conroy and Milla Jovovich. Today, John Curran's dramatic-thriller has a confirmed release next year with Overture swooping up domestic rights. - I've sort of lost track of this project since it was first announced as a possible The Deer Hunter reunion between Robert De and Meryl Streep.

Ed Norton Wants Robert De Niro To Sleep With His Wife
8 December 2009 10:15 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Not many people have attempted to manipulate Robert De Niro (or the characters he plays, rather) and succeeded. In fact, has anyone even tried to manipulate De Niro at all? With his creepy laughs and intimidating demeanor, I wouldn.t want to have dinner with the dude, much less try to make him the butt of a diabolical plan. But that.s what Ed Norton is up to. According to Variety, Overture Films has picked up Us distribution rights to Stone, a new film starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Milla Jovovich. The film will have Norton playing a convicted arsonist who attempts to manipulate his parole officer in order to ensure his parole. How does he do that? By offering up his super hot wife of course, played by Jovovich. The film is directed by John Curran and written by Junebug.s Angus MacLachlan. This sounds like a »

Amy's 10 Best Days
19 November 2009 1:22 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
It should be no surprise at this point that I absolutely adore Amy Adams. Loved her ever-so-brief stint on "The Office," thought she should've won the Oscar for Junebug, thought she should've been nominated for an Oscar for Enchanted and hell, I'm even entertained by this new Leap Year trailer. So any Amy Adams news, regardless of concept, gets a little bit of interest from me. Yet even this might be testing my limits. Adams is attached to star in The Ten Best Days Of My Life, »

Amy Adams' Ten Best Days
18 November 2009 10:58 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Amy Adams is turning producer on her next project. The breakout star of Junebug, who's since gone on to bowl us over in Julie and Julia, Enchanted and Doubt, is clearly fan enough of Adena Halpern's novel My Ten Best Days that she wants to oversee its journey to the screen. That or she knows a starring role when she sees one.The novel is set in the afterlife: specifically Heaven, which is structured into seven levels, of which the seventh is the most desirable (meaning you can eat what you like and never get fat). Main character Alex wants to stay there with her Uncle Morris and her grandparents, in a perfect house that never needs cleaning, but is in danger of being demoted unless she can provide evidence of having lived a worthwhile life. Hence her homework essay on her ten best days.Now, we're slightly bummed »
Oscar Season Begins!
19 October 2009 12:28 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
A montage of performances by the "breakthrough actor" nominees for the Gotham Independent Film Awards. In order, Ben Foster, Patton Oswalt, Jeremy Renner, Catalina Saavedra, Soulemane Sy Savane. And they’re off! With the announcement this afternoon of the nominees for the annual Gotham Independent Film Awards, the four-month frenzy of film-industry backslapping, backscratching, and backstabbing known as Oscar season is officially under way. Organized by the Independent Filmmaker Project (Ifp), the awards are significant insomuch as they are the first of countless encomium-distribution ceremonies to be held across the country in the coming months, from the American Film Institute awards to the Pontchotoula Times Critics Circle Awards. Piled together, these events will constitute so many tea leaves and entrails from which Oscar observers will attempt to prophesy the whims of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Oscar soothsayers pay special attention to the “breakthrough actor” category, the »
Bill Cosby at Lincoln Center: Purposefully losing his way, slamming NBC, and killing it
18 October 2009 8:24 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Given that when the 72-year-old took to the stage at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall he immediately took a seat, it could be said that Bill Cosby no longer does stand-up comedy. At that age, Cosby said, "when you stand up, people clap." His advancing years were a big facet of Cosby's act -- his two-hour set found him talking about cataract surgery, colonoscopies, grandchildren, and urinary flow issues -- as was the manner with which he strung them all together. Cosby designed his set like an intricate series of nested non-sequiteurs: Telling stories buried within stories, Cosby comes across like the good-natured, »

Stone Promo Trailer Featuring Edward Norton, Robert De Niro and Mila Jovovich
16 September 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Millenium Films has released a marketing trailer for The Painted Veil and We Don't Live Here Anymore director John Curran's new film, a prison-set psychological crime thriller. Edward Norton stars as a convicted arsonist who looks to manipulate a parole officer (Robert De Niro) into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife (Mila Jovovich) in the lawman's path. Originally written as a play, and adapted for the screen by Independent Spirit Award-nominated scribe Angus MacLachlan, a Winston-Salem screenwriter and playwright, best known for the 2005 film Junebug and the short film Tater Tomater. A bit of trivia: Zachary Quinto (Heroes, Star Trek) played the lead in the one and only Los Angeles table reading performance of the play in 2003. It's a rough cut trailer for exhibitors and marketing, but you'll get the idea. Watch it now embedded after the jump. Leave your thoughts in the comments below. »

Trailer for De Niro's 'Stone' Co-Starring Norton and Jovovich
15 September 2009 4:53 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
A promo trailer for Stone the new film from John Curran (The Painted Veil) starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich has arrived online. The story centers on a ruthless convict (Norton) who engages in a series of disturbing mental games with his corrections officer (De Niro) in an attempt to gain parole. When the officer begins an affair with the convicts wife (Jovovich), it soon becomes clear that both the convict and officers motivations are suspect, provoking a dangerous ordeal. The film was written by Angus MacLachlan (Junebug) based on his own play and is a Nu Image / Millennium Films production and does not yet have domestic distribution. It's a curious film to say the least considering neither The Painted Veil or Junebug seem to have much in common with the film on the surface level, but with the talent involved it could be good.

Blu-Ray Review: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt Sparkle in ‘Sunshine Cleaning’
27 August 2009 11:42 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Christine Jeffs’ “Sunshine Cleaning” has its ups and downs, its pros and cons, but it’s worth a look, now on Blu-Ray and DVD, for one of the most delightful, multi-faceted performances of the year from one of the better actresses of her generation. What Amy Adams delivers in “Sunshine Cleaning” is her most interesting turn since “Junebug”. Even with an average Blu-Ray release, Adams makes “Cleaning” worth at least a rental on its own.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 Despite what Adams (and, to a lesser extent, Emily Blunt) bring to “Sunshine Cleaning,” it’s pretty undeniable that the screenplay could have used another polish. The film fluctuates wildly in tone and overall quality and feels at times like it was practically created by a computer designed to make a “Sundance comedy”.
The “Sundance comedy” is practically a genre of its own at this point - odd characters, quirky dialogue, an unexpected plot twist, »

Amy Adams Recalls "Growing Pains" When She Turned 30
16 August 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Amy Adams had "growing pains" when she turned 30. The 34-year-old actress feared she would never make it in the film industry and her neuroses almost got the better of her when she hit the landmark age.
She said: "The summer I turned 30, I remember it vividly. I had such growing pains that summer. I had just filmed 'Junebug' and though the experience of making it was transformative, it was a small, independent movie. I didn't know if anyone would even see it."
"I'd auditioned thousands of times by that point and been in 'Catch me If You Can,' and yet nothing was really working out in terms of getting work."
Amy thought she would be catapulted to success after appearing alongside Leonard DiCaprio in 2002's "Catch Me If You Can," and was devastated when subsequent roles failed to materialize.

Monologue: "Meerkats. Do you know what they are?"

Monday Monologues is back
Yesterday, I went to the Prospect Park Zoo and I would still be traumatized by the one armed kangaroo (the horror. the horror) had the meerkats not redeemed my visit with their indefatigable cuteness.
Check out the little guy to your right there. He's just hangin', waiting for someone to bring him a cold beer. The guy on the left was more of a people person (er...) and kept watching the crowd watching him. The third member of this meager meerkat exhibit -- out of frame -- was darting back and forth like he had had 18 cups of coffee with his yummy box of insects.
While I watched them "Harmour Love" played in my head (joy!) and I forgot all about how dull Amy Adams was in Julie & Julia and my heart nearly burst again for love of her in Junebug. Oh, that expert conjuring of Ashley, »

Julie & Julia
Directed by: Nora Ephron
Cast: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, Chris Messina
Running Time: 1 hr 50 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: August 7, 2009
Plot: Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia tells the story of how cooking star Julia Child (Streep) got started, and also how Julie (Adams) decided to cook and blog through Child’s entire cookbook in one year.
Who’s It For? Foodies will be pleased, and this is one of those rare, feel-good (in general) movies where you just keep thinking, “nice.”

Julie & Julia
Starring Amy Adams, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci
Directed by Nora Ephron
Rated PG-13
Julie Powell began chronicling her journey through Julia Child's famous Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 2002. Frustrated by a professional life that seemed to be going nowhere, Powell found a sense of empowerment writing a blog about her experiences. The goal was for Powell to cook each one of Child's 524 recipes in 365 days.
What Powell discovered - and what Julie & Julia writer-director Nora Ephron paints so well - is how interwoven the lives of these two women are. Or could be. Or should be.
Ephron works from two sources here, Powell's book of the same name, kind of an unabridged version of her blog, and Child's own memoirs of her time in France. The decision to incorporate both books gives Ephron a chance to explore more deeply both Powell and Child, both »

Milla Jovovich cast in ‘Stone’ with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton
18 May 2009 9:10 AM, PDT | The Cinema Post | See recent The Cinema Post news »
Filming is due to start on “Stone” today in Michigan, and according to ScreenDaily, Nu Image is busy shopping the film to prospective buyers in Cannes at this very moment.
Jovovich has been cast to play the wife of a convicted arsonist (Norton) who is deployed in a psychological game of cat-and-mouse with his parole officer, played by De Niro. This will be the second time that Norton and De Niro have teamed up for a game of cat and mouse on screen - they first did so in 2001’s underrated heist thriller “The Score” which also featured Marlon Brando in one of his last on screen roles.
“The Painted Veil” director John Curran will helm the film which has a script from Angus MacLachlan (”Junebug”) adapted from his original play. »
