The Naughts: The Actor of the '00s
6 hours ago | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Quietly and unexpectedly, Matt Damon has become the premier Hollywood actor of the past decade. He's lent his minutely constructed, surprisingly athletic performances to the films of directors Steven Soderbergh, Gus Van Sant, Paul Greengrass, Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood, a roster that's not coincidentally produced some of the most vital and successful films of the past ten years.
His remarkable career isn't simply a matter of a good agent. It's all in the manner in which he so carefully adapts his particular skills to the roles.
Damon's commitment is displayed on his body, which he relentlessly crafts to the specifications of each character -- he's almost the anti-movie star in his physical malleability. Take a look at how he changes from "The Bourne Identity" in 2002 to the Farrelly Brothers' "Stuck On You," a year later. In the former, he carved himself down to muscle and bone, a tightly packed »

24 November 2009 12:00 AM, PST | Virgin Media - Movies | See recent Virgin Media - Movies news »
Joshua Jackson has signed up to take the lead in 'UFO'.

The movie will be directed by special effects expert Matthew Gratzner - who has previously worked on 'The Aviator', 'The Good Shepherd', 'Pitch Black' and 'Alien Resurrection' - and is based on the hit TV series of the same name. The show followed the pilot's discovery of the secret group - named .. »

16 November 2009 1:50 PM, PST | Extra | See recent Extra news »
Robert De Niro can't get enough of Angelina Jolie.
The actor, 66, tells "Extra" Jolie, 34, is one of the actors he'd "love to work with."
"It depends on the project [who would be] at the top of my list... wonderful actresses," De Niro says. He and Jolie co-starred in the 2006 period drama "The Good Shepherd."

Angelina Jolie May Play A Murderer In Ridley Scott's 'Gucci'
21 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
It's been almost a week since Ridley Scott was in the trades. Did you miss seeing his name attached to another potential directorial gig? Well, this latest Scott news doesn't concern a new project. He has long talked about doing a movie about the Gucci family, which would presumably climax with the murder of former fashion mogul Maurizio Gucci, who was gunned down in 1995 by a hitman hired by his ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani. Now, according to Variety, Angelina Jolie has been offered the part of Reggiani.
Despite having more anticipated projects, like the "Alien" prequel (which we'd love to see Jolie star in), and more marketable ideas, like the "Monopoly" board game adaptation, on his plate, Scott is still actively developing "Gucci." The film is reportedly a priority for Fox 2000, which is in the process of hiring someone to rewrite the script. The story will span three decades, focusing not »

Home Movie and The Butcher (Film Reviews)
15 October 2009 9:53 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Fangoria Archives: Originally posted 7/15/2008
It has only taken a decade or so, but the children of The Blair Witch Project have come of age in the last couple of years, and found-footage horror is flourishing on big and small screens. A handful of direct Blair Witch knockoffs/spoofs notwithstanding, the vérité form has only really been embraced very recently by fright filmmakers, ranging from old masters (George A. Romero with Diary Of The Dead) to genre-feature first-timers (the Cloverfield gang), from foreign practitioners ([Rec]’s Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza) to those remaking them (the Dowdle brothers of Quarantine). While the first-person approach can give screen terror an immediacy that traditional filmmaking styles cannot, it also carries the limitation of restricting what the audience-surrogate characters can plausibly capture on their cameras.
Home Movie, the writing/directing debut of actor Christopher Denham, doesn’t quite get over that hurdle, but for a lot of its running time, »

Free Flick Fridays:[p]Prelude To a Kiss
17 July 2009 12:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
Prelude To a Kiss (1992) Dir. Norman Rene Rom-com sweetheart Meg Ryan (Serious Moonlight [Tff '09], You've Got Mail, When Harry Met Sally) is in her element as Rita Boyle. Quirky and free-spirited, Rita was born to a wealthy family, only to join the Socialist party (unbeknownst to her parents). Despite her beauty, youth, and health, Rita holds a very pessimistic view of the world. Alec Baldwin (30 Rock, My Sister's Keeper, The Good Shepherd, Running With Scissors) is Peter Hoskins, a slightly-timid-yet-charming man who quickly falls for Rita despite her strange ideas about the world. The couple forms an endearing pair, and it all plays out very nicely, very by-the-book romantic comedy. That is of course, until their wedding day, when an eccentric, elderly man named Julius (played by Sydney Walker) crashes the wedding and requests a kiss from the bride before he continues on his way. Seeing some kind of spark ... »
Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant Trailer Starring Matt Damon
1 July 2009 10:33 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Steven Soderbergh has never been one to take a lot of time off in between projects. Last year he completed his two-part epic Che (which still has yet to be released on DVD), and just a few months later his follow-up film The Girlfriend Experience was screening at Sundance. Now we've already got a trailer for his next movie, a corporate comedy/thriller called The Informant starring Matt Damon. When I first heard about this movie, for some reason I thought it was going to be more of a straight up espionage flick (maybe it's just that Damon's look with the glasses reminded me of The Good Shepherd), but it's definitely got a strong satirical edge to it. The fact that it's a true story also interests me. In a way this feels like Soderbergh's response to The Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading, and it will probably also be a »

Spotlight: Marcelo Zarvos
6 May 2009 7:05 AM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »
Brazilian-born composer Marcelo Zarvos slowly but surely makes his steps in the world of film music by gathering better and bigger credits. Having parallele careers in jazz and film music, Zarvos' first commercially released score was written for the Kim Basinger / Jeff Bridges drama The Door in the Floor. Since then, he worked on the nostalgic Hollywoodland and started collaborating with Robert De Niro on The Good Shepherd and the satiric What Just Happened. Zarvos He recently completed Taking Chance (released by Varese Sarabande) and by the time you read this, Lakeshore Records has already released his score to Sin Nombre.
What was the situation of film and film music in Brazil when you grew up?
Brazil's film industry has had many ups and downs and when I was growing up there wasn't much going on. The renaissance of Brazilian film really only happened in the 1990's when I »
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - 2-Disc Criterion Collection Blu-ray review.
4 May 2009 | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
The 2-Disc Criterion Collection Blu-ray reviewby Peter Dimako, Editor A compelling, superbly acted and meticulously-directed project now sees release on Blu-ray. I have always admired David Fincher as a director; the Colorado-born helmer is responsible for such films as “Alien³,” “Panic Room,” “Fight Club” and the most recent “Zodiac” with Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. It’s good to see the talented Julia Ormond returning the screen in quality films once again. Here she takes the part of Caroline, a middle-aged woman supporting her mother Daisy (Cate Blanchett) in her last ailing days at the hospital. She’s asked to read a story and thus unfolds a remarkable telling of a man “Born under unusual circumstances.” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a strange case indeed; a child, born of old age, shriveled and exhibiting signs of a man on death’s bed, suffering from bad »
