Spotlight Review: Uncertainty

Scott McGehee and David Siegel, the directing team that brought us The Deep End, and Bee Season, have come together once again to create a strange, but compelling piece starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins. Uncertainty is their third directing credit and certainly their most bizarre, with a narrative that is neither linear, nor easily understood.
The film begins with a young couple, Bobby (Gordon-Levitt) and Kate (Collins) standing on a bridge in New York, apparently trying to decide what to do on this particular July 4th. They leave it up to the flip of a coin which tears the film into two separate plots, green, and yellow. In one, the two find a cell phone in the back of a cab that apparently »

Gus Van Sant and Bret Easton Ellis Team Up for a Feature
14 October 2009 9:45 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Gus Van Sant has been known to pick up a book or two to adapt in his time. Most recently, it was the less-than-stellar Paranoid Park. But now he's getting ready for something a little different. Rather than grabbing a finished work from a popular scribe, he's teaming with the writer to kick off the process. Variety reports that Van Sant is joining forces with Bret Easton Ellis to write a film about the double suicides of Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake -- a step up from last year's news that the scribe would be writing as Van Sant consulted.
You probably heard about their deaths back in 2007. The filmmaker/game designer Duncan died after mixing Tylenol Pm and alcohol, while her long-term artist boyfriend Blake was last seen walking into the Atlantic Ocean a week later to join her in death. But it wasn't just some sort of star-crossed death pact. »

Gus Van Sant and American Psycho Author Take On Story of Artists' Double Suicide
14 October 2009 8:41 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Director Gus Van Sant is well-known for making movies focused on outsiders struggling for a sense of identity (Milk, Paranoid Park, My Own Private Idaho). Author Bret Easton Ellis is perhaps most famous for his novel about an outsider who also happens to be an outright sociopath (American Psycho). Now, Variety writes that the two will collaborate on the story of Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake, a couple who committed suicide two years ago.
Blake and Duncan were stars of the multimedia art world — he was a well-renowned digital artist, painter, and designer, while she was a filmmaker, video game designer, and critic — but shortly before their deaths, their behavior grew erratic. At one point, the couple became paranoid that they were under attack by Scientologists. Blake returned home on July 10, 2007 to find Duncan already deceased from ingesting a combination of medicines and alcohol. One week later, he drowned himself »

Brett Easton Ellis And Gus Van Sant Team Up To Depress You
14 October 2009 7:11 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I was thinking for a while that Gus van Sant was tapping into a lighter side of his personality with his upcoming project, the teenage love story Restless. But apparently it's still all gloom and doom inside the head of the director who, in one year, made a movie about a civil rights leader who was murdered (Milk) and a teenager who accidentally murdered someone (Paranoid Park). For his next screenwriting project, van Sant will team with novelist Brett Easton Ellis to write a screenplay based on the Vanity Fair article "The Golden Suicides," about a pair of artists who killed themselves within a week of each other. According to Variety, Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake (pictured)were a popular videogame designer (her) and digital artist (him) until they developed paranoid fears that the government and religious organizations were trying to get them, and a week after Duncan killed herself, »
Criterion hatches 12 picture deal with IFC Films
26 August 2009 6:32 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Still wondering how the hell Criterion Collection acquired the recently announced A Christmas Tale and Gomorrah, two IFC Films releases from the past year. Word is that these two acclaimed pictures are just a tease of a twelve picture deal the two companies have joined forces to unleash to the masses. So that leaves ten more films for film fanatics to ponder over what else may be hiding in the wings. Two obvious bids it seems would be Che, which has been discussed throughout the interweb as an upcoming release from Criterion, and Steve McQueen’s Hunger a film chosen as part of the Criterion hosted cinema at All Tomorrow’s Parties festivities next month in New York. Leaving eight more films from the repertoire of IFC Films to find a new home at Criterion. Will the remaining films come from earlier in the film companies existence with such releases »

For His Next Project, Gus Van Sant Turns To Young Love
24 August 2009 1:43 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
To follow up his emotional, historically rich acting showcase Milk, Gus van Sant seems to be taking things a little easier-- or at least younger. He's in negotiation to direct Restless, a screenplay by first-timer Jason Lew that's described in THR as "a contemporary and distinct take on young love." Before all you young writers start sending van Sant your screenplays, know that Lew isn't just your average struggling screenwriter. He went to college with Bryce Dallas Howard, who encouraged him to write the screenplay and then showed it to her dad, Ron Howard, who passed it on to Van Sant. So it's all a happy story of how Hollywood connections will get you anywhere. It's Ok to be jealous of Lew, no matter how exciting this project sounds right now. Van Sant has proven very, very adept at telling stories about young people in movies like Paranoid Park and »
Gus Van Sant Directing a 'Young Love' Film Titled Restless
23 August 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Columbia is negotiating with Oscar nominated filmmaker Gus Van Sant to develop and direct Restless, an original screenplay by first-time screenwriter Jason Lew. Exact story details are being kept under wraps, though it's described as contemporary and distinctive take on young love. Brian Grazer will produce Restless along with Ron Howard and his daughter Bryce Dallas Howard for Imagine Entertainment. Lew and Bryce attended New York University together, which is where Lew first wrote the story as a play. Howard, who had acted in plays with Lew, read the story and encouraged him to write it as a screenplay and take it to her dad. Van Sant is pretty hit or miss with me. In regards to his two most recent films, Milk was incredible, but I hated Paranoid Park. He's certainly a very talented director but I think only when he has strong scripts, which may be why I »

A Preview of Fantasia’s Québécois Shorts
19 July 2009 1:22 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Fantasia's Short Film Highlights [caption id="attachment_10049" align="alignnone" width="190" caption="The Astronomer`s Dream"][/caption] Just at this year's Fantasia Film Fest sees its features splaying out far from the realm of hardcore genre flicks into other realms, its local shorts, presented in two different categories (Courts Métrages Québécois and Courts Métrages Québécois Diy) display a wide range of genre, approach, form and subject matter, fromt he mundane to the, well, fantastic. Here's a sampling of what's on offer this year... Among the highlights of the first group (itself subdivided into five screenings) are two very different animated pieces. Malcolm Sutherland's The Astronaut's Dream (11 m.), a whimsical, if slightly bent, look at the imaginings of a would-be spacefarer. Sutherland's humor and style reflect a Japanese sensibility, so fans of Miyazaki's more out-there moments should take heed, though Sutherland's visuals are considerably busier. Meanwhile, Alain Fournier's Öko (12 m.) is a seemingly post-apocalyptic puppet mini-epic, a piece so desolate and cryptic that it »

Paranoid Park Movie Review
24 June 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
"Paranoid Park" is a very interesting movie because it looks at one teenager's battle with guilt and dealing with real trouble which alot of young teens get into nowadays. "Paradoid Park" is the story of one such teen who accidentally kills a security guard along a set of railway tracks and tries to hide the fact that he did it after a series of investigations by detectives at his school (including his being interviewed by a detective one on one). The story is great, but a bit on the dull side because despite the producers and director's best efforts, I found that the teenage actor who portr... »
Gkids goes 'West of Pluto'
19 June 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- After showing at Rotterdam, the Seattle Film Festival and the upcoming L.A Film Fest next weekend, Les Films Séville/E1 Entertainment International have announced that Gkids have picked up the U.S. rights to West of Pluto. Gkids is the outlet that co-distributed Sita Sings the Blues. The pic should receive a Fall release perhaps under Gkids' Flicker Lounge label. Compared to the style of a Larry Clark film merged with a PG version of Paranoid Park, the French Canadian film directed by Henry Bernadet and Myriam Verrault follows a handful of teenagers over the course of 24 hours. It starts out innocuously enough, with a class presentation by one student on how Pluto lost its status as a planet and a conversation between two cheerleaders about whether or not Quebec should secede. Like a lot of high school movies, it builds to the big house party hosted by »
Cannes 2009 Producer's Patch: MK2
14 May 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- Whenever I watch my Charlie Chaplin films on disc it is the MK2 logo that I see before I pull out the title from the DVD shelf. A staple in the French cinema their library is filled with auteurs – including last year's Cannes presented Paranoid Park (Van Sant), Zhang Ke Jia's 24 City and Belge director Dominique Abel's Rumba. This year Mk2 bring Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos's Dog tooth and Mathias Gokalp's Nothing Personal in the sidebars and they have Abdellatif Kechiche's next (Black Venus) in production (the director gave us brilliant The Secret of the Grain in 2007/08) and they also have Patrice Chereau's long awaited film – Persecution starring names like Romain Duris and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Black Venus by Abdellatif Kechiche - Production Certified Copy by Abbas Kiarostami - Production Diamond 13 (Diamant 13) by Gilles Beat - Completed Inferno (L'enfer D'Henri Georges Clouzot) by Serge Bromberg »
Christopher Campbell's The Moviegoer - Unseen on the Big Screen
8 January 2009 1:30 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
I may be a cinephile and a cinemaphile, but I'm hardly a cinemaniac, which means I unfortunately don't see every new release that opens in theaters. And I certainly don't find enough time in the year to see even a fraction of the old films that play in the New York's revival houses and museums. So I should be pickier about what I actually do see on the big screen. Yet I saw Semi-Pro, Jumper and Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins all in the same month that I could have and should have instead seen Paranoid Park, The Band's Visit or any of the movies shown during Film Forum's Sidney Lumet retrospective (call me crazy, but I would have liked to have watched The Wiz on the big screen -- but it wasn't included in the series). Yes, I'm a moviegoing moron sometimes, and in 2008 I felt like an idiot enough »

The 10 Most Anticipated Movies of Early 2009
6 January 2009 4:58 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Believe it or not, there are movies worth marking your calendar for between Oscar season and the big summer blockbusters of 2009.
Over the next few months, the buzz for films like “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” “Star Trek,” “Angels & Demons,” “Terminator: Salvation,” “Night at the Museum 2,” “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Public Enemies,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” “New Moon,” and Pixar’s “Up” is going to become absolutely deafening, but there are well over a hundred flicks hitting the multiplex before those box office juggernauts take center stage and, believe it or not, a handful are actually worth your time.
The first third of 2008 produced quality films in “Cloverfield,” “In Bruges,” “The Visitor,” “George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead,” “Snow Angels,” “Redbelt,” and “Paranoid Park”. Which, granted, was not an overwhelming display of memorable filmmaking, but the point is that »

Discuss: Seeing Your City in the Movies
4 January 2009 6:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
For me, one of the extra pleasures in watching the new critical darling Wendy and Lucy was noting that it was filmed in Portland, Ore., where I live -- and, more specifically, in the neighborhood of North Portland, where I specifically live. The Walgreens pharmacy that figures heavily in the film's story is one I've been to many times myself (though I've never shoplifted from it -- and now, thanks to Wendy and Lucy, I know not to try!). Even some of the casual dialogue about bus lines and cross streets is accurate.
It gives you a goofy little thrill when you see your town in the movies, doesn't it? It's even better than finding your house on Google Maps. Maybe you're immune to it if you live in New York, L.A., or Chicago, since about half of all movies are filmed in one of those places, but for the rest of us, »

Shotgun Stories I’m not sure what to make of this – but this year Top 20 batch of film’s have death as a focal point in the plot or use bereavement thematically: death of a dream, death of a soul, death out of defiance and death of a culture, society and way of life. I don’t really have a fascination with death, but I’ve noticed that my own mortality and the eventual passing of my loved ones seem to have embedded itself in some aspects of my daily routine. Death is predominant discourse and acts as a tragic aftermath »
'New York Times' Crix Name Noms... Do You Agree?
3 January 2009 1:45 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The trio of New York Times critics (Manohla Dargis, A.O. Scott and Stephen Holden) have weighed in with their own nominations for the year's best in movies with their selections for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Original and Adapted Screenplays. Quickly glancing through the list I see Manohla Dargis loved Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York (at least the acting) and is the only one that gave The Dark Knight any love. Thankfully Slumdog Millionaire wasn't "nominated" for anything other than a lone Adapted Screenplay notice from A.O. Scott. Happy-Go-Lucky saw plenty of attention and believe it or not, there isn't one film all three could agree on for Best Picture with Wall-e and Happy-Go-Lucky being the front-runners as they were mentioned twice - Dargis was the main reason for this as her selections didn't show up on either Stephen Holden or A. »
