            <title>Ways to object to &quot;Precious.&quot;</title>
            <description><![CDATA[For anyone familiar with habitual barnburner Armond White and his politics, it's zero surprise that the NY Press critic objects strenuously to "Precious." His review of the film has, as usual, much food for the comment trolls, particularly in his insistence that, by attaching their names and confessing personal histories of abuse, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey are converting "their private agendas into heavily hyped social preoccupation," which I guess means... child abuse is really just another way for a couple of whiny celebrities to beg for attention? He also compares "Precious" to "The Birth of a Nation" and does a good job of hiding the fact that he does have a point -- any movie that features a morbidly obese black woman stealing a bucket of fried chicken probably isn't as nuanced as it thinks it is. Just to make sure he alienates any potential allies, though, White saves...]]></description>

            <title>A guide to Roland Emmerich&apos;s early work.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I've had so much fun writing about "2012," I'm almost sad it'll actually be coming out next Friday. Almost. In a fairly amazing recent interview with Roland Emmerich, the schlock auteur explains he could get away with casting John Cusack because "I make movies where the movie itself is the star" and says it's totally cool that "2012" is a whopping 158 minutes because "The ten most successful movies of all time are all around three hours long. My favourite movie, 'Lawrence of Arabia,' is four hours. So there!" Same thing! But what really caught my eye was an allusion to one of his earlier films, "The Noah's Ark Principle," which Emmerich says "was also about morality and what you can and can't do in these situations." Earlier film? I thought he hit the ground running with "Universal Soldier" and "Stargate." How wrong I was. Here, for your edification and...]]></description>

            <title>The Cinema Eyes love &quot;The Cove.&quot;</title>
            <description><![CDATA["The Cove," Louie Psihoyos' much-lauded documentary about Japanese dolphin hunting, is the big fish (heh) amongst this year's nominees for the Cinema Eye Honors, the awards dedicated to excellence in non-fiction filmmaking. "The Cove" was nominated in seven categories, including feature of the year, in which it will compete with Anders Ostergaard's "Burma VJ," Robert Kenner's "Food, Inc.," Darius Marder's "Loot" and Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher's "October Country." Agnes Varda ("The Beaches Of Agnes"), John Maringouin ("Big River Man"), Anders Østergaard ("Burma Vj"), Darius Marder ("Loot"), Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher ("October Country") and Terence Davies ("Of Time And The City") are up for the director award. A complete list of the nominees is here -- the awards will take place in the Times Center in New York on January 15th. [Photo: "The Cove," Roadside Attractions, 2009]]]></description>

            <title>&quot;Nailed&quot; is back, Tony Kaye is probably not.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[David O. Russell ("I Heart Huckabees") and Tony Kaye ("American History X") are both fearsomely talented directors and, from most accounts, extremely difficult human beings; their projects attract trouble on a regular basis. Both had the bad luck to get tied up with Capitol Films when the company imploded. It's a complicated saga, but essentially Capitol heads David Bergstein and Ron Tutor owe a lot of people money and are trying to sell their remaining movies even though some of them are now owned by a different company. And their financial problems are far from over. Russell's "Nailed," a political comedy, was shut down four times because its financing sputtered out -- issues that weren't the famously temperamental director's fault, and in May Jessica Biel claimed the film was unfinished and the whole thing was missing too many scenes to be releasable. But producer Matthew Rhodes is now telling the...]]></description>

            <title>TCM, now a film festival.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[There are over 700 film festivals worldwide, but only a few are devoted entirely to showing old movies -- which is odd, considering that these days, it's just as hard to see most older films in a theater as it is to see any of the new festival darlings. Those that do exist tend towards the obscure and specialized. MoMA's annual "To Save and Project" series (which is now in progress) alternates between the well-known (say, a new print of Cassavetes' "A Woman Under The Influence") and movies whose reputation is so specialized you basically have to attend on faith (say, 1964's "The Changing Village," from Ceylon). Arlington, VA's Slapsticon resurrects silent comedy; Bologna's Cinema Ritrovato digs up new prints of old films for your hardcore type who's ready for a marathon of long-thought-lost rarities and pre-code Capra. Also, you have to fly to Italy. Most of the major festivals...]]></description>

            <title>Britain gets ready for rapsploitation.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Unlike the US -- where the ghetto issue movie has for years been its own subgenre -- the UK only recently got with the program. Friday sees the release of the UK's first hip-hop musical, "1 Day," which shows how quickly their film industry is adapting to the inner-city turf it previously ignored. In 2004, there was the pioneering "Bullet Boy," followed soon by "Kidulthood" and its follow-up "Adulthood." Watching the trailers in chronological order, the amount of moralizing and ominous music goes way down: the number of gunshots, hoodies being pulled over ominously and aggressive rap numbers goes way up. 1991's "Boyz N The Hood" was the protoypical American "increase the peace" film, when hip-hop soundtracks were the backdrop to stories detailing the need for an end to inner-city violence. This went on for a while ("Menace II Society," "New Jack City" et al.), until the soundtrack became the...]]></description>

            <title>&quot;Gentlemen Broncos&quot; gets corralled.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Fox Searchlight has become to the '00s what Miramax was to the '90s: a company that gets known for putting out "niche" movies that aren't honestly the toughest of sells. With the trifecta of "Napoleon Dynamite," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Juno," they basically cracked open the window for the mainstreaming of Sundance quirk. But they've hit a wall this year, with the exception of "(500) Days of Summer": "Amelia" is tanking, "Whip It!" collapsed down some hole and hardly anyone noticed that "Adam" came out. And now they're canceling "Gentlemen Broncos"' national roll-out. The words "From the director of 'Napoleon Dynamite'" apparently no longer carry the same weight they did -- which, unless you're the film's main champion Richard Brody, probably won't make much of a dent in your day. CinemaBlend's Katey Rich suggests that, while "Broncos" was an unsalvageable stinker that should have opened wide to make as much...]]></description>

            <title>The death of the original screenplay...?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[This week's favorite Oscar topic, besides last night's announcement that Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will be co-hosting the awards, is where all the original screenplays have gone. The Hollywood Reporter's Steven Zeitchik points out the a dearth of obvious candidates for the "Best Original Screenplay" category. If "Up," "Inglourious Basterds" and "A Serious Man" are virtual locks, what else does that leave us with? Zeitchik proposes "(500) Days Of Summer," and maybe "The Hangover" or "Star Trek." (Yes, under the Academy's ever-dizzying, perpetually nonsensical rules, it's a possibility.) THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY MUST BE DEAD. Because "ever since the studios became obsessed with remakes and sequels, there's been a depletion of the kind of new ideas that once populated the category." Well, except that, unlike many of the other categories, Best Original Screenplay nominees don't have to have made a lot of money -- recent ones have included "Frozen River"...]]></description>

            <title>Uwe Boll&apos;s &quot;Darfur&quot; drama.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Like the part of Cannes you don't usually hear about, the American Film Market is the largely unglamorous event held every year in L.A. where film buyers and distributors from across the globe come to put the business back in show business, looking at the latest Sofia Coppola film in the same way they look as "The Whiffler," a comedy about a 'roided up whiffleball player -- that is, as products. Beginning tomorrow, films like Coppola's "Somewhere" will be debuting at AFM, as will Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg" and a host of other attention-worthy endeavors, like the latest from "Teeth" director Mitchell Lichtenstein, "Happy Tears"; the Tribeca fave "The Eclipse"; and two personal highlights of mine from Toronto -- the Tilda Swinton melodrama "I Am Love" and Fatih Akin's "Soul Kitchen." But it's the weird stuff that makes markets so fun. A few I picked out from the AFM catalog: Uwe...]]></description>

            <title>Roger Avary pioneers jail-tweeting.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Until recently, Roger Avary was a respected if controversial writer/director, best known for "Rules Of Attraction" (easily the best of the Bret Easton Ellis adaptations) and for breaking up with video store-days friend Quentin Tarantino over accusations he was shafted on credit for the "Pulp Fiction" screenplay (he only got a story credit). On the geek side, Avary worked on "Silent Hill," "Beowulf" and a proposed upcoming adaptation of the "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" video game. None of which seemed to matter after Avary got drunk, crashed his car into a telephone pole and killed one of his passengers. Avary began his one-year sentence on October 25; on the 29th, his Twitter feed began producing some truly frightening screenplay-style updates, seemingly from inside jail: "The building is an imposing example of the Brutalist architectural movement. The windows are designed so as to not let too much light in." "Night falls,...]]></description>

            <title>The Wes Anderson Happy Meal.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[It's expected that a blockbuster like "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" get nonsensical tie-ins like Strawberry-Peanut Butter M&Ms -- junk movies spawn junk food. And we don't squawk in protest at "Twilight: New Moon" band-aids, if only because it takes a certain amount of wit (or, uh, greed) to propose using a vampire's face to stop bleeding. But then there are our auteurs, our artists, whose work is challenging, unusual, not just empty entertainment. Clearly, they, of all people...do not deserve marketing and merchandising? McDonald's has a "Fantastic Mr. Fox" Happy Meal, which brought out the fiend in the Guardian's Ryan Gilbey, who fumed that this wouldn't "be noteworthy in the slightest if the film in question were some DreamWorks piece of junk, or a knock-off directed by a hack," but that Anderson "should not be getting into bed with McDonald's, and using his work to lure young children into...]]></description>

            <title>Doom, gloom and Michael Haneke.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[As Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or-winning laugh riot "The White Ribbon" opens in the UK and Sony Classics ramps up for the December 30th US release of the film, Hari Kunzru comes forth to praise the director and Stuart Klawans to (covertly) bury him. What's funny is they both end up pointing out the same thing. Kunzru -- the awesome British novelist whose "Transmission" is one of my favorite novels of the decade -- offers up his thoughts on the political context of Haneke's films, and on the groundswell of disgust at the way Austria tried to disassociate itself from its Nazi past. But he gets into shaky territory when he gets to Haneke's more recent work, generalizing about "the link between the personal and the political, the influence of the media, video surveillance, social control and the possibility of authentic human community." His inadvertent conclusion is that Haneke's indictments aren't...]]></description>

            <title>How to diss the dead.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Robert Altman's been dead for nearly three years, and apparently the time for politeness is over. (Hey, it's longer than Heath Ledger got). Mitchel Zuckoff's "Robert Altman: An Oral Biography" hit shelves last Tuesday, a book built out of Altman's final interviews and the voices of his collaborators that doesn't skirt the fact that, however acclaimed he was as a filmmaker, Altman could be a real dick. Janet Maslin notes actor Michael Murphy's anecdote about how "Bob would make the best bloody mary I've ever tasted. Then he would stand up and make a speech, pretty much the same speech every night... 'No one in this room knows what this movie is about except me.'" Reviews have been generally respectful, with exception of a blind haymaker from veteran film writer Richard Schickel at the LA Times, who spends, oh, about a paragraph of his 939-word review actually talking about the...]]></description>

            <title>Barbet Schroeder&apos;s Don Draper.</title>
            <description><![CDATA["Mad Man," the series with which every critic in the country seems to be smitten except me, lured no less than Barbet Schroeder in to direct last night's episode "The Grown-Ups," Schroeder's first venture into TV and the next-to-last installment of the season. (And one that -- whoops -- some found disappointing.) Schroeder's not the first unusual director to pop up in "Mad Men"'s three-season run, though, as an Oscar-nominee who filmed both General Idi Ami and Koko the talking gorilla, and who once threatened to cut off his own finger if he didn't get the money to make "Barfly," he's definitely the oddest. But Paul Feig, creator of "Freaks and Geeks" and veteran comedy director ("The Office," "Bored To Death"), directed an episode in season one. Tim Hunter, who's helmed six episodes, directed '80s cult teen movie "River's Edge" (starring early career Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves). And Daisy...]]></description>

            <title>Five obnoxious Troy Duffy quotes.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[This week saw the, er, proud return of Troy Duffy, writer/director of 1999's Boston-set cult favorite "The Boondock Saints," about the stylish side of vigilante violence, and its new sequel "Boondock Saints II," which arrives in theaters today. Duffy's also the resentful subject of 2003's "Overnight," a fascinating 2003 documentary-as-showbiz-cautionary-tale that showcases how he's not one of those people to whom modesty and introspection come naturally. In the process of making "Boondock," Duffy managed to alienate a lot of people by being boorish, self-aggrandizing and effectively worshiping at the altar of his own ego. "Overnight" was beyond biased in depicting these things, but co-directors Tony Montana and Brian Mark Smith show you exactly why they went that route: they have Duffy on camera swearing he's not going to pay them what he originally promised. Ten years later, Duffy's out on the press circuit, and the one message coming through loud...]]></description>
