Spanish Movie Trailer: A(nother) Herald of the End Times

6 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Never, ever make the mistake of thinking that the Us has a lock on shitty, terrible 'parody' comedy films. There's an argument to be made that we're not even close to the worst offender when it comes to making quick-buck films like Date Movie and Epic Movie. As proof, here's the trailer for Spanish Movie, a film produced in Spain that pokes fun at a broad swath of globally-recognizable Spanish-language films. The references are diverse, ranging from The Orphanage and Pan's Labyrinth to The Sea Inside and No Country For Old Men. (Not exactly a Spanish film, but Javier Bardem is close enough, I guess.) Some of the films used as material are a bit out of date, but the comedy on display in the trailer is hardly fresh. Javier Ruiz Caldera directs the film, which is expected to become one of the year's biggest box-office successes in Spain. It »

Javier Bardem Lets His Hair Hang Out

4 December 2009 1:30 PM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Javier Bardem went with the increasingly popular scruffy look as he ran errands near La yesterday. He's solo in California as girlfriend Penelope Cruz is off promoting Nine in Europe with big premieres, but they were just together celebrating Thanksgiving with Sean Penn. Javier was most recently the one jetting around the globe to work on his latest movie, Eat, Pray, Love, but hopefully soon he and Penelope can reunite and settle in for the holidays.

How Hollywood destroyed our classical legends

3 December 2009 2:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

It took a millennium for western civilisation to create a canon of classical literature – but just 10 years for Hollywood to destroy it

When I think back on this decade's spate of movies based on the great legends of European history, I remember how fantastically it started – with Gladiator – and how badly things went downhill after that: with Kingdom of Heaven, Troy, 300 and Beowulf. When I saw Gladiator in 2000, I thought this was going to be just the best millennium ever. It had everything you could want in a movie: glory, gore, guts, gladiators. It was a sweeping epic with a computer-generated cast of thousands. Augustus Caesar would have been proud of it. Julius and Tiberius, too.

Yet the thing I liked most about Ridley Scott's superb film was how closely it hewed to the historical record, in its portrayal of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) as the depraved son of Marcus Aurelius, »

Penelope Strikes One Pose After Another For Nine in Interview

3 December 2009 10:00 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Penelope Cruz went with red lips and lots of diamonds for the January cover of Interview. She posed for an accompanying sexy spread and talked about Nine with her costar in the film, Marion Cotillard. There's all sorts of speculation about Penelope's personal life and possible engagement to Javier Bardem, but the ladies kept things strictly focused on business - Penelope shared about what compelled her to act, her inspirations, and what it was like on the female-centered set of Nine. Here's more: On what inspired her to act: "That question actually brings me to the reason why I decided to become an actress, which is my constant curiosity about the endless mysteries of human behavior. Because we are dealing with the beauty and complexity of human confusion, no? And we are always trying to get answers." On when she knew she wanted to act: "I think since I was around four years old. »

Penélope Cruz: Pink Panther Inspired Dance Scenes

Spanish bombshell Penélope Cruz resorted to some highly unusual methods to get in the mood for her sexy dance number in her upcoming film Nine. "The musical number had to be sexy," she told costar Marion Cotillard in the December/January issue of Interview. "And thinking about the Pink Panther would help get me in the mood ... When I was climbing the ropes to the ceiling, all I could think about was the Pink Panther." The actress explains her choice of inspiration for the role of Carla, a film director's Italian mistress in the upcoming flick: "I think she's a »

Penelope and Javier Get In Thanksgiving Spirit With Sean Penn

30 November 2009 2:00 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem may not be from the United States, but they celebrated Thanksgiving with their friend Sean Penn this year. The couple stopped off for gas and drinks before arriving at Penn's house for the holiday feast. Penelope has been busy on the promotional campaign for Broken Embraces and the upcoming Nine, but she always manages to avoid questions about her relationship. Still, there are rumors that she's been wedding dress shopping after being spotted wearing a ring on a certain finger recently. Whether or not that ends up being the case, Penelope and Javier's love of privacy doesn't preclude them from taking in an American family tradition together. View 2 Photos › »

Birthday Suits, Asia Major

27 November 2009 7:30 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Do you ever celebrate the birthdays of your favorite movie folk? You should. Here are your options for 11/27

Michael Vartan, Bruce Lee

1940 Bruce Lee Chinese American trailblazer, 70s icon, legend. Without him, whose to say how long it would have taken martial arts films to gain as much international popularity? Without him, no Uma Thurman in a yellow track suit.

1951 Kathryn Bigelow director, action fan. An Oscar nominee in about 2 months and a week.

1956 William Fichtner actor

1957 Callie Khouri, screenwriter. She'll always have Thelma & Louise

1957 Kevin O'Connell, the most nominated never-winning Oscar anything. He's been nominated 20 times (!) for his sound work. He has only his Emmy and lucrative blockbuster heavy career to comfort him. His next project is the Gyllenhaal action flick Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. [editor's note: You may recall that the second podcast ever here at Tfe was an interview with his then working partner Greg P Russell whose own Oscar tally totals 12 nominations without a win.]

1963 Fisher Stevens, Michelle Pfeiffer's boyfriend during her Catwoman years

1968 Michael Vartan, French-American actor (Alias)

1978 Unax Ugalde, Spanish hottie... seduced Julianne Moore »

Clip joint: gangs

26 November 2009 6:41 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

This week on Clip Joint, AJBee tries to rouse the rabble as he turns the spotlight on cinema's best gangs

In a world that's falling apart – or even just coming apart at the seams a little – we all need others to cling to for support. Strength comes in numbers, but also in togetherness. In cinema we can see that tribal feeling from 2001: A Space Odyssey's prehistoric man to the gangs of 60s Glasgow, or 80s Brighton. The protruding foreheads remain, only the accents alter.

Gangs provide a sense of belonging and identity, as well as protection from foes. They can also exclude, as so many high school-set teen flicks testify. We wrap our modern tribal behaviour in colours and call it sport, which begat other kinds of gangs, too often lionised in modern British cinema. But gang culture is common to every echelon of society, from the streets »
