Screen Queens: Julia and Rupert
7 hours ago | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
MattCanada here with another week of gay cinema. This week's film is My Best Friend's Wedding, one of the most criminally underrated films of all time and, in my opinion, the best comedy of the nineties.
From afar the film's gay credentials seem to amount to just another example of the romantic comedy's stereotypical use of the gay best friend character. However, George (Rupert Everett in a career best performance) is the film's voice-of reason, moral centre, and ultimately the film's unconventional leading man.
The friendship between George and Julianne (Julia Roberts) highlights the special and unique relationship gay men and women can have. In gay film critic (and personal hero) Robin Wood's wordsGeorge's maturity, considerateness, and tact are intimately connected to the gayness that sets him apart from social norms, permitting him a wise distance from the practices and conventions in which those around him are entangledThroughout the »

Vanessa Thorpe on Spike Jonze: Master of the Wild Things
12 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Once the hippest name in music videos, the 40-year-old director will this week terrify children with his adaption of Maurice Sendak's adored tale
A large rubber-band ball sits on the bedside table of the wilful young Max, hero of the new Spike Jonze film, while overhead, on a shelf, sits a bird's nest. Early shots of these odd objects cleverly prelude the virtuoso visual style of this audacious adaptation of a children's classic: the 1963 picture book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
In the hands of the Oscar-nominated Jonze the island of fearful monsters that Max discovers one night when he has been sent to bed without supper becomes a perilous wasteland dotted with spherical wickerwork huts, nest-like forts and rounded boulders. Although Max, along with his ugly, untamed group of new friends, is clearly recognisable from Sendak's book, any parent who returns to their nursery copy »

Cameron Diaz's teen support
5 December 2009 1:45 AM, PST | Virgin Media - Movies | See recent Virgin Media - Movies news »
Cameron Diaz was helped through the grieving process by her young co-stars. The actress - who lost her father Emilio in April 2008 after he died of pneumonia while she was shooting the film 'My Sister's Keeper' - said it was the kind words of Abigail Breslin, 13, and Sofia Vassilieva, 17, who provided the most comfort. She said: ''Being able to go back to a great group of people, who were there and waiting for me, was a blessing. Those girls helped me. Nick Cassavetes, the director, was amazing, too. That's the only way I was able to do it.'' Despite .. »

Sienna Miller Seen Visiting Jude Law's Apartment Again
4 December 2009 8:26 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Things are apparently getting serious between Sienna Miller and her ex-fiance Jude Law. On Friday afternoon, December 4, the 27-year-old beauty was spotted once again paying a visit to the "My Blueberry Nights" star's pad in New York.
At that time, Sienna, who was accompanied by her pooch Bess, was seen knocking at the apartment's door. Later in the evening, she and Jude were photographed going out from the pad and heading to their respective Broadway shows. Trying to avoid the paparazzi, the two left the apartment separately.
Three days before these photos were outed, Sienna was also caught leaving Jude's apartment. The actress appeared to be in a rush since she was snapped running to a waiting car.
Sienna Miller and Jude Law got engaged on the Christmas Day of 2004. Unfortunately, in November 2006, the two called off their engagement after he was caught having an affair with his children's nanny. »

Spike Jonze: 'I'm never going to compromise'
4 December 2009 4:15 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The well-connected director is very good at getting his own way, hence his family unfriendly take on kids' classic, Where The Wild Things Are
Ten years after Being John Malkovich, there are still few people's heads you'd pay to spend 15 minutes inside as much as Spike Jonze's. It would be easy to imagine life from his perspective as a continual flow of way-cool experiences: "Here I am dashing off another era-defining music video. Here I am hanging out with Karen O/Kanye/Mia/the Coppolas. Oh look, I've got another bunch of Oscar nominations. I think I'll pop into Vice magazine and do some cool shit. Now I'm just scrolling through the contacts on my iPhone and thinking how phenomenally well-connected I am." That's the movie version, but real life hasn't been quite so straightforward for Jonze of late. Over the past five years, a random visit to Jonze's »

This week's new cinema previews
4 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Box (12A)
(Richard Kelly, 2009, Us) Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella. 116 mins
Will Kelly ever make another movie as good as Donnie Darko? There are signs here that he might, but he hasn't this time. The Twilight Zone plot – press the button on this box and you'll get $1m, but someone will die – opens up more moral/conspiracy/sci-fi elements than the film can handle. Still, too much is better than not enough, especially when it's as smoothly sinister, visually sophisticated and borderline bonkers as this.
Me And Orson Welles (12A)
(Richard Linklater, 2008, Us/UK) Zac Efron, Claire Danes. 114 mins
Efron graduates from High School backstage to Welles's 1930s theatre troupe in this sweet coming-of-age flick, holding his own against Christian McKay's rakish, bombastic Welles – even when they fall for the same girl.
Cracks (15)
(Jordan Scott, 2009, UK) Eva Green, Juno Temple. 104 mins
Set within the confines of a posh girls' boarding school, »

Film review: The Box

An intriguing premise turns in to 115 minutes of codswallop. Peter Bradshaw squirms away
There are some films that confront the viewer with profound ethical dilemmas, agonising moral choices. In this one, an ageing man with a horrible face approaches a happily married woman with a proposition that could earn her $1m. Oh, heavens to Betsy, you are probably thinking, it's that Robert Redford back again, the incorrigible old goat, making another of his indecent proposals: a sackful of cash in exchange for the chance to let his expensive trousers and pants pool round his ankles while he puts you on the receiving end of a one-off rogering. How absolutely loathsome. And yet it is a lot of money, so gosh, would I? Would I?
But it is not Robert Redford. This time it is Frank Langella, playing a man with an appalling wound to the side of his face, dressed »

Matt Dillon on Armored
3 December 2009 10:41 AM, PST | www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news »
Matt Dillon has done a lot of things in his career: played a racist cop, capped his teeth to impress Cameron Diaz, outted his high school teacher. Surprisingly, it wasn.t until Armored that he got set on fire.
.Yeah, this is the first movie I.ve been set on fire,. Dillon said. .This is fun. I think this rolling around in the dirt doing this stuff, it.s like being a kid again, you know. It.s just a lot of fun. I know they.ve got fire gel all over me under this thing..
Actually, director Nimrod Antal tried it both ways. He actually went with the take where Dillon dodges the flame. »
Film Weekly podcast meets Claire Danes and Disgrace director Steve Jacobs
3 December 2009 3:16 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This week's edition, hosted by Xan Brooks, hops from talking film and theatre with actor Claire Danes, to discussing the politics of post-apartheid South Africa with the director of Disgrace, to reviewing Steven Soderbergh's portrait of a high-class hooker, The Girlfriend Experience.
First up, Claire Danes, who burst on to the screen in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, tells Jason Solomons about starring in Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles opposite Zac Efron. She discusses her career to date – combining small films with blockbusters such as Terminator 3 and starring on Broadway as Eliza in Pygmalion – and how Efron's performance in the film will surprise everyone.
Xan Brooks then chats with Steve Jacobs, the Australian actor turned director who has made a solid adaptation of Jm Coetzee's Booker prize winning novel Disgrace. The film stars John Malkovich as a shamed professor who finds refuge on his daughter's farm in post-apartheid South Africa, »

Gossips & Rumors About Lindsay Lohan And John Mayer
2 December 2009 9:29 PM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘Mean Girls’ actress sparked speculation she wants a romantic relationship with the ‘Gravity’ singer – who has previously dated Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Simpson – after shunning former lover Samantha Ronson to try and spend time with the star at New York’s Butter nightclub on Monday (30.12.09).
A source said: "She would follow his every move. He would dance with the waitresses and then come back. She was way into it. "Sam and Lindsay were getting along great but as friends." Lindsay and John were said to still be partying together at 3am, though it is unclear if they left together. However, hours after arriving home, Lindsay sent John a message on social networking website Twitter, saying: "@johncmayer shhhhhhhhhhhhhh butter-face (sic)" Although John failed to respond publicly to Lindsay’s message, he revealed to his fans he is having women troubles as he is being pursued by several girls »

Richard Kelly's $1m question
2 December 2009 2:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He made one of the coolest debuts ever, Donnie Darko – then it all went wrong. Now Richard Kelly's back, with a film about a shocking dilemma
After making Donnie Darko, his phenomenally self-assured and very cheap debut, Richard Kelly went on to direct 2006's Southland Tales, a surreal epic set in a post-apocalyptic America. When a rough cut was screened at Cannes, it wasn't just booed – it was denounced.
The memory still troubles him. "We did Southland for about $17m," he says. "A lot to me, but not much to some. We felt like we were making a bold satire of the Bush administration, and of celebrity and pop culture. Think Pynchon and Philip K Dick. We squeezed every penny out of the budget and worked like dogs. I'm so grateful for the experience, but it's the kind of thing you hope to get out of your system while you're still young. »

Oscar MythBusting: One Day They'll Be Nominated!
2 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Most fans of established actors believe that one day their favorite will be nominated for an Oscar. In 2009 campaigns hopes are particularly high for Sandra Bullock, Alfred Molina, Colin Firth and Christopher Plummer. Fans of James McAvoy and Sam Rockwell still hold out longshot hope. But guess what? The odds are, generally speaking, against them on February 2nd (two months hence!) when the lucky 20 are called.
Most actors aren't ever nominated for the big prize. People seemed surprise to read in an old Oscar Mythbusting column I wrote years ago that the majority of nominated actors (approximately 67%) never receive a second nomination. But I did the research and it's true. Even less likely than a second nomination: a first one. Consider this...
The following (living) legends have still never been nominated despite rich bodies of work and several classic films or exuberantly praised performances: Mia Farrow, Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Plummer and Donald Sutherland. »

[DVD Review] My Sister's Keeper
30 November 2009 4:41 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Nick Cassavetes likes plucking heartstrings and he’s not afraid to dig into your chest to do so. Unfortunately, the digging is sort of a laborious process and it can take Cassavetes an hour or two to even scratch the surface. Maybe you were swept away by his romantic tale of Alzheimers-afflicted love in The Notebook? It did have a surprisingly strong cast (Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling and James Garner) and whether you like the movie or not, chances are your body either produces a healthy share of estrogen and you loved the film or your body doesn’t but someone from the first category insisted you watch it. Yet, he also directed Alpha Dog, so his tendencies towards emotionally manipulative clearly aren’t his only option. My Sister’s Keeper, however, plays directly into his manipulative side; if you’re a crier then you’ll get that cathartic sobbing »

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz Filming 'Knight and Day' With Bulls
30 November 2009 1:53 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
After the shooting for "Knight & Day" in Cadiz, Spain was suspended following an incident which involved bulls, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have been seen filming their scenes with the animals on Saturday, November 28. In one of the pictures obtained by Ok! Magazine, the two were captured riding a motorcycle through a flock of running bulls on the street, while gun-toting "villains" chased them.
The previous week, seven bulls escaped from the set of the movie and attacked two women. The bulls roamed loose on the narrow streets of Cadiz for about forty minutes before they were recaptured on a beach. Later, the bull that reportedly led the breakout and started the stampede was booted from the set.
Cruise and Diaz have actually been asked by members of Cas International to pull out of the movie regarding the use of the animals. "Apart from the fact that bulls are abused for this movie, »
