Morning Brew: Tuesday, Dec. 22
22 December 2009 7:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
We've got a great brew today, folks.
Let's start with this, Skins fans:
You want it poster-sized, don't you? The issue, featuring an interview with Naomily actresses Kathryn Prescott and Lily Loveless is out now.
How did I not know about this? Apparently there is a "quick lesbian scene" between Keira Knightley and Hayley Atwell in their film, The Duchess. The movie is now available on DVD, and could be a great last minute gift for a friend who likes British women bedding one another.
Sundance is going to be so gay this year. The Runaways is officially in good company with the addition of The Kids Are Alright from High Art director Lisa Cholodenko, starring Julianne Moore and Annette Benning as lovers. It's being described as a "drama with a sexy script." Please let that sexiness be between the aforementioned actresses. Don't let me down, Lisa!

Best Movies Of 2009, By Kurt Loder

A pretty good year.

It seems to be a critical tradition to bewail the awfulness of each year's movies. But how often is this really true? With the annual caveat that it's impossible (and meaningless) to designate one movie or filmmaker as the "best," here are a number of 2009 pictures I liked a lot in various aspects, with one entrant in each category selected, fairly arbitrarily, as the "best," and equally worthy contenders noted below them.
Best Picture:
"Up in the Air" A mainstream film with a complex heart and a brain, too. Not exactly a comedy, not precisely a drama, but as close to a perfect movie as any other this year.
Also really good: "The Hurt Locker": Can it actually have been seven years since Kathryn Bigelow's last picture? This scrappy low-budget film, with a breakthrough performance by Jeremy Renner, »

The best films of 2009
21 December 2009 9:53 PM, PST | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
Since Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain, lists have come in tens, not that we couldn't have done with several more commandments. Who says a year has Ten Best Films, anyway? Nobody but readers, editors, and most other movie critics. There was hell to pay last year when I published my list of Twenty Best. You'd have thought I belched at a funeral. So this year I have devoutly limited myself to exactly ten films.
On each of two lists.
The lists are divided into Mainstream Films and Independent Films. This neatly sidesteps two frequent complaints: (1) "You name all those little films most people have never heard of," and (2) "You pick all blockbusters and ignore the indie pictures." Which is is my official Top Ten? They both are equal, and every film here is entitled to name itself "One of the Year's 10 Best!"

Clooney's New Comedy Will Take You 'Up in the Air'
21 December 2009 9:35 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
At once cynical and sweet, Up in the Air might be the perfect film for George Clooney. He has often added a cool but caring element to his roles, and Up in the Air's Ryan Bingham capitalizes on his Cary-Grant-like charm. As a full-time firer, Ryan jets from city to city, doing companies' dirty work as he tells employees they have lost their jobs. It sounds heartless (especially in the current economic climate), but Ryan takes pride in his work. He brings humanity to the proceedings, trying to make the news as soft a blow as possible, for both personal and legal reasons.
He thrives in the commitment-free life that he has forged for himself, relishing the away-from-home comforts of airports and hotels. Even his rarely slept-in apartment resembles a room in a spartan inn. He has some connection with his two sisters (Melanie Lynskey and Amy Morton), but »
Vera Farmiga: The Hollywood Interview 2009

(Vera Farmiga, right, and George Clooney in Up In The Air.)
by Terry Keefe
(Currently appearing in this month's Venice Magazine.)
The first time we interviewed actress Vera Farmiga was in early 2001, at Swingers Diner on Beverly, over French fries. It was around 8 in the evening, as she had to spend the day auditioning for a network pilot. She was promoting a supporting role in a relatively forgettable Robert De Niro-Ed Burns cop thriller called Fifteen Minutes, where she played a Eastern European hairdresser who witnesses a murder. Parking was scarce in the neighborhood, to the point that we first met that night while angling for the same spot. Today, things have changed somewhat. We’re meeting at a ridiculously large and posh board room at the Beverly Hilton, which reminds of the one in Network where uber-exec Ned Beatty chews out Peter Finch’s Howard Beale. Valets take care of the cars. »

The movies set for Oscar glory in 2010
21 December 2009 2:55 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Hollywood's red carpet gets wider next year, with twice as many best picture nominees. From Harlem to Iraq, Disney fantasy to star-studded musical, we look at the main contenders and anticipate a year of true diversity
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the best picture category at the 2010 Oscars would be widened from five to 10 nominees, a leading American producer, here for the recent London film festival, told me bullishly: "You'd have to really screw up to not get nominated this time."
He shall remain nameless, mainly because, as awards season got under way last week with the announcement of the Golden Globe nominees, his film appears to be one of the most overlooked. Somewhere along the line, he just might have screwed up. But has the return to the pre-1944 era (when 10 or 12 films were often included) really sparked a race for films not »

Avatar, which is the director's first movie since his multiple Oscar winning film, Titanic, was released in 3,452 theaters and averaged $21,147 per theater for a grand total of $73 million over the weekend, well on it's way to earning back its purported $200 million plus budget. Last week's number one film, Disney's animated film The Princess and the Frog fell back one spot this week by only earning $12.2 million. The film, which »

Up in the Air
18 December 2009 7:00 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Jason Reitman
Cast: George Clooney, Anna Kendrick, Vera Farmiga, Jason Bateman, Danny McBride
Running Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: December 18, 2009
Plot: Ryan (Clooney) is a man with the unenviable task of flying across the country to fire people … only he loves it. A new young worker bee (Kendrick) comes along and introduces technology that may make him irrelevant. Now Ryan must reexamine this life to see what his future holds.
Who’S It For? Adult comedy drama. This film speaks to the millions of college educated people out there who are being downsized, but also to those who think alone is better.
Expectations: I’ll admit it. With Reitman already having directed Thank You For Smoking and Juno … I was thinking this could be the greatest start a director has ever known.

Up In The Air Movie Review
17 December 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
There's so much good about Up In The Air that I just don't know where to begin. Jason Reitman's follow up to Juno is both timeless and timely. It greets this wonderful economic downturn we've encountered head on, while presenting a classic tale of a man thinking he knows his place in the world, when it's all just smoke and mirrors. It's definitely one of the best movies of the year, and it deserves every award it will eventually be nominated for.
Up In The Air tells features a terrific Clooney performance. He plays Ryan Bingham, a man with a job nobody wants. He travels across the country and is hired by firms who need to inform their employees of downsizing. He has to fire each individual and assure them it's not the end of the world, while making the fallout to the employer minimal. Ryan is very good at his job, »
Review: ‘Up In The Air’
17 December 2009 11:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
In the utterly enjoyable Up in the Air, George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a corporate down-sizer. Like a gun for hire, Ryan is kept on retainer to deliver pink slips instead of bullets; though some might argue there is little difference. Ryan has no personal relationships, rarely sleeps in the same city two days in a row, can fit everything important to him into a carry-on and he could not be happier.
Midway through the movie, Ryan explains that he is on the road traveling over 322 days of the year. That may sound awful to most of us, but to him “that means 43 miserable days at home.” That statement is perfectly indicative of how Ryan sees the world.
He doesn’t like attachments of any sort, human or material. He has a better relationship with the airline ticket agent than his own sisters, and prefers the tidiness and order he »

Views: The Best Movies Never Made
17 December 2009 5:33 AM, PST | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
Each year, Hollywood executives name the best screenplays of the year that have yet to be made. In previous years, their list has catapulted dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Some of this year’s crop have moved into production; others are stuck in development hell. See what you think.
It’s called the Black List — film executives' favorite scripts written in, or somehow uniquely associated with, this year but not be released in theaters during this calendar year.
In previous years, the list has catapulted dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Diablo Cody's Juno, Nancy Oliver's Lars And The Real Girl, Scott Neustader's and Michael Weber's 500 Days Of Summer, are just some of the scripts that were made after appearing on the list.
Ninety-seven screenplays appear on the just-released version, according to Deadline Hollywood. Here are the Top »
Michael Cera Expects to Shoot 'Arrested Development' Movie In 2010

'Sometime next year we'll be shooting,' the 'Youth in Revolt' star reveals. 'I think that's realistic.'

West Hollywood, California — If not for "Arrested Development," it's hard to imagine there ever would have been a "Juno," a "Superbad" or the unlikely A-list Hollywood star that is Michael Cera. It seems only appropriate, then, that the 21-year-old's New Year's resolution is to finally return to the beloved Bluth family.
"I think sometime next year, hopefully, we'll be shooting," Cera revealed to MTV News on Thursday afternoon (December 17), giving renewed hope to the die-hard fans who've been pining for "Arrested Development: The Movie" since the groundbreaking comedy was yanked off the air. "I hope [we'll shoot in 2010]. I think that's realistic."
On January 8, Cera will release the endearingly quirky teen flick "Youth in Revolt," but after that, the in-demand star's schedule is wide open. »

'Up in the Air' Director Jason Reitman Loves Austin
16 December 2009 11:00 AM, PST | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
This year's closing-night film at Austin Film Festival was Up in the Air, the latest from director Jason Reitman (Thank You for Smoking, Juno). Up in the Air, which hits Austin theaters on Friday, stars George Clooney as a guy who's continually traveling for his job -- firing people -- from city to city around the country. He mentors young Anna Kendrick, and also has some entanglements with another frequent traveler, played by Vera Farmiga. It's a very entertaining movie -- and just received six Golden Globe nominations, as well as winning various critics groups' awards -- but I'll let Jenn Brown tell you all about it when her review appears on Slackerwood in the next day or two.
The Aff screening was at night -- the photo above is from the red carpet beforehand. Up in the Air cinematographer Eric Steelberg (who also shot Bandslam here in Austin) is »

New poster for Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘Inception’ arrives
16 December 2009 5:00 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Presenting the poster for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming cerebral thriller Inception. The poster was the prize on the film’s official site after you complete a maze.
It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page (Juno), Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai), Marion Cotillard (Nine), Joseph Gordon Levitt ((500) Days of Summer), Tom Hardy (RocknRolla), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Red Eye), Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
Nolan’s new film is viewed as a “break” before he starts work on a third entry in the highly popular (and profitable) Batman series, which has seen no official movement. Ziltch.
This is nothing new for the director, who rejected outcries from rabid Bat-fans wanting a quick sequel to Batman Begins and instead chose to helm The Prestige. As fans quickly learned, the break between films didn’t hinder the series as The Dark Knight became the second biggest film in history and landed an Academy Award »
