Found in: Movies, NewsImmortals
At first glance, Tarsem Singh’s Immortals seems to fall firmly within the recently born “Zack Snyderian” school of filmmaking. Actually, stare at the film for as long as you wish and that assumption is borne out, particularly in comparison to Snyder’s 300. There are the slo-mo/fast-mo fight sequences involving copious sprays of blood. (Immortals is a veritable spray-tacular of spray-plosions.) There are the gorgeous red-and-gold-infused vistas mostly populated by beautiful people. (Sorry, Mickey.) And there’s plenty of sculpted man flesh—not as much as found in 300, but that … was … SPARTA!!!, after all.... read more

Despite a gorgeous poster, a beautiful object of affection and two cult-worthy actors, Mitch Glazer’s directorial debut _Passion Play_ fails to fully form itself from a poetic personal project into a fully realized film. read more

Found in: Movies, NewsMickey Rourke in Talks for Conan the Barbarian Reboot
Mickey Rourke is Hollywood’s most sought-after prodigal son. After virtually disappearing from Tinseltown in the ‘90s while he pursued a boxing career (and repeatedly getting his face beaten and battered in the process), he’s back—and it seems to be all tough-guy roles for The Wrestler star. Already appearing as Whiplash in the upcoming Iron Man 2, Rourke is also in talks for two other action flicks: a remake of 1982’s Conan the Barbarian as well as War of the Gods, which will be set in ancient Greece.... read more

Until now, only hints and teasers have come out for Iron Man 2. But as of last night, the first full-length, plot-heavy trailer has been released for the much-anticipated film. Scarlett Johanssen joins for the sequel, playing seductress the Black Widow, and Oscar-nominated Mickey Rourke continues his comeback as a nemesis named Whiplash.

Sundance Film Roundup Narrative Films An Education Nick Hornby wrote the script for An Education, so you’d expect the dialogue to be superb, and it is. (Although, it’s a strange choice to adapt someone else’s book instead of one of his own; he’d “rather mess up other people’s stories.”) And newcomer Carey Mulligan is spectacular in the leading role, so good that if I had seen the film earlier I would have made a point to see The Greatest, another Sundance selection starring Mulligan. In this one, though, she plays a schoolgirl who begins to spend time with an older... read more
