Even though the first rule of “Fight Club” is not to talk about Fight Club, and the second rule of fight club is don’t talk about fight club, we can’t help but tell the world that we’re showing it tonight at 8/7c. Tune in for your fix of Friday night fights. In the darkly comic…
Anderson’s upcoming project will mark the first time he and Depp have worked together.
Wes Anderson’s upcoming movie “Moonrise Kingdom” looks to capture much of the trademark style and quirkiness that we’ve come to expect from the celebrated filmmaker, and with its Memorial Day Weekend premiere looming, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing some cool promotional elements pop up online. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Wes Anderson film…
The first rule of Fight Club: Watch it on Sunday at 8/7c
Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman are fabulous in them.
The trailer introduces Jeremy Renner as the new hero of the “Bourne” franchise.
There are certain things Wes Anderson fans want to see in a Wes Anderson movie: A warm and winsome narrative that feels like it was adapted from a French novel that never existed. Crisp, clean, geometric cinematography. Music that is at least thirty years old. Bill Murray. In just two minutes, the trailer for Anderson’s…
Fantastic Fest is taking over Austin, Texas from September 23 to 30. This year’s festival features an all-star lineup and one of the busiest schedules ever. Luckily, our crack team of gimlet-eyed reporters is headed to the front with the solemn duty to get the story. We made them sign blood oaths before we sent…
Bruce Springsteen was at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of “The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town,” which chronicles the long writing and recording sessions with the E Street Band that lead up to the 1978 release of “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” Springsteen’s 4th album. Edward…
You get two Edward Nortons for the price of one in pot/philosophy comedy “Leaves of Grass,” written and directed by, as well as co-starring, Tim Blake Nelson. Norton plays identical twins — Bill, a buttoned-down Brown professor with a rising career, and Brady, a fast-talking pot farmer who never left the small Oklahoma town in…
Reviewed at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival. To say “Stone” requires faith – both from its audience and as a recurring theme – would be an incredible understatement. That it made this agnostic care would be another. Already established to some as the “Edward Norton in cornrows” movie, it’s a serious drama that I entered…
Edward Norton and director John Curran will bring the US premiere of “Stone” to Fantastic Fest on September 24th, the big news in the latest round of programming announcements from the Austin-based genre festival. Norton plays an inmate eligible for early release, whose wife (Milla Jovovich) sets out to help him manipulate his parole officer…
It doesn’t exactly come as a shock that Edward Norton won’t be Hulking out in “The Avengers,” given his famous disagreements with Marvel over the final cut of 2008′s “The Incredible Hulk” (in which he backed the film’s director), due to which he declined to do press for the film. If there was any surprise…
“Leaves of Grass” tells the story of Bill Kincaid (played by Edward Norton), an Ivy League professor who returns to Oklahoma after receiving news that his estranged twin brother, Brady (also played by Edward Norton), has been murdered. It turns out the pot-growing sibling is actually still alive and soon both siblings become embroiled in…
Reviewed at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival. At the intersection of pot and poetry, at a place we might as well dub “potetry,” lies Tim Blake Nelson’s “Leaves of Grass.” Pot movies, like potheads, have a tendency to wax philosophical — this one has an actual philosophy lecture. In it, Brown classics professor Bill Kincaid…
“I walk around talking to myself anyway,” Edward Norton told the packed Ryerson Theater after Monday’s premiere of “Leaves of Grass” at the Toronto Film Festival. “Maybe this was just the way to get paid for it.” Although the “Fight Club” star’s played a few characters with dual personalities, this new comedy from Tim Blake…
We trust the movies. We have to. Most of them only work if we look up at the images changing 24-times-a-second in front of us and believe that they reflect some sort of objective reality where a man can fly his house to South America or alien robots can transform into cars. Even when a…
The most interesting article amongst the ones from the new issue of Cineaste now up online is actually from the editors. The editorial, which I appreciate for its don’t-stop-believin’ sentiments but don’t entirely buy, is entitled “Speaking Documentary Truth to Power,” and argues that despite audiences’ Iraqdoc fatigue, “political documentaries do get the attention of…
A few new trailers out on the web: Here’s a wordless teaser trailer for “Babylon A.D.,” introduced in French by actor/director Mathieu Kassovitz, the man behind both the high highs of “La Haine” and the loooow lows of “Gothika.” Delayed, over budget and pushed back from a February release date to the less desirable one…
The Walt Disney Company has established a new production banner, Disneynature, through which it hopes to put two new nature docs a year to theaters starting in 2009 with “Earth,” then on to “Oceans” and “Chimpanzee.” Despite the apparently enviro-angle, Brook Barnes at the New York Times points out this move is mainly just business-savvy:…
