Venice Film Festival winner Jia Zhang-Ke is back with a a documentary on China's burgeoning fashion industry, documenting everything from the destitute sweatshop factories to the glamorous runways in Paris. The film, "Useless", documents the effect that the fashion industry has left on China, such as small-time tailors having to close shop to earn wages by working in the mines because clothing factories have put them out of business. Informative, and about the fashion industry? My only complaint is that I don't live in one of the 10 Chinese cities it is being shown in.
First pictures of starlet Lindsay Lohan allegedly snorting coke in a bathroom stall surface on the internet, and now some critics of her new film Georgia Rule are tearing the young actress’ film apart.
The movie is about a troubled teenager who is sent to live at her grandma’s [Jane Fonda] house for the summer in hopes of turning her life around. She parties, dabbles in eating disorders and has sex too much…sound familiar?
One particular review gave it merely one star out of four, calling the film a disappointing cliché of family empowerment. Its star-studded line up and production crew allegedly disappoint, despite their renowned past work. This is also the film Lohan received a notice from the head of the production company stating she was arriving late on set too often and sometimes not arriving at all.
However, other reviews say the film exceeds expectations. Decide for yourself this Friday when it hits theatres. It is rated R for sexual content…and irony.
He may play a teen wizard in the fantastical Harry Potter films, but in the promo pics for his new West End play, Daniel Radcliffe leaves little to the imagination.
The 17-year-old actor, who has starred in five film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books, will take on the role of Alan Strang in the first London revival of Peter Scheffer's play "Equus". In the play, the character blinds six horses and at one point reaches sexual climax while riding naked on a horse.
According to U.K.'s Daily Mail, the production will be staged in the round, with about 60 seats actually positioned on the stage. These seats are expected to be in high demand when the play opens on February 27th.
Judging from the pictures, Daniel Radcliffe is now a serious actor and bonafide rise-taker. One question: how will audiences react to his portrayal of Harry Potter in the final two films, after seeing him in these risky shots? Clearly Radcliffe is ready to move on and grow up.
If a picture is worth a thousand words than a montage of scenes should be worth, say, a million, or maybe $165 million which is how much the latest Bond movie grossed.
It's hard to believe that such a beloved series of movies could have been so obviously violent to women. Starting from the 60's to present day, Bond has not only been beating the bad guys but the women he loves for at least five minutes.
I always felt a little put off by the fight scenes with the bombshell beauties but I never saw it in the big picture (pun intended) and the big picture is a truly shocking one!
"Dreamgirls" received the most nominations out of all those nominated, receiving a remarkable 8 nominations from everything to best supporting actress to best art direction. But wait, what about Best Picture? After all, it did win the Best Picture category at the Golden Globes. Critics cite everything from marketing strategy, the death of Gerald Ford and Christmas, the Times breaks down what went wrong for the Oscar hopes the much-celebrated musical.
"Babel" received 7 nominations, both Spanish film "Pan's Labryinth" and "The Queen" received 6 nominations including Best Picture and Best Actress, Helen Mirren. Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren, who played monarchs to very different effect — continued their stately walk to the podium, with nominations for best actor and best actress.
While "Dreamgirls" may have been snubbed the ultimate Oscar award, this major motion picture will certainly give the rest of those nominated a run for their money. We'll have to just wait and see on Feb. 25th when Ellen Degeneres hosts the most anticipated awards show of the year.
This year's Sundance film festival is anything but glamorous. Featuring controversial films including a documentary about bestiality, a film about the torture and murder of a teen, and a southern Gothic tale that includes the rape of a young girl, which is causing the biggest stir.
According to Canada.com, "Hounddog" is the story of Lewellen, a girl played by 12-year-old Dakota Fanning, who is growing up in the 1960s South. The character is molested and neglected which is causing critics to question the use of such a young star in the film.
Even before the first screening of the film at the festival this week, a Christian film critic, citing Fanning's age, decried the movie as child abuse, and Roman Catholic activist Bill Donohue called for a boycott.
Many might want to avoid the film simply because it's disturbing, and if this is a sign of the films to come, I might just skip the theater altogether and stay home with my Shrek DVD's...maybe Dakota should do the same.
The Annual Sundance Film Festival kicked off its 26th year yesterday in Park City, Utah. The festival, founded by Robert Redford in 1981, runs from January 18th-28th. It is known as one of the most important film festivals in the world, especially for American independent filmmakers who come to Park City in the hopes that their film will be "discovered", i.e. find a distributor.
Films like "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006) and "Napolean Dynamite" (2004) owe a huge chunk of their box-office success to the fact that they were well-received at Sundance.
There are also prizes to be won: the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for documentary and dramatic films, both international and domestic. Past winners include "Hustle and Flow" (Audience Award Dramatic, 2005), "Whale Rider" (Audience Award World Cinema, 2003), and "Girlfight" (Grand Jury Prize Dramatic, 2000).
Sundance is also famous for its celebrity draw, as big name stars flock to the tiny mountain town to promote their films, support their movie-star friends' films, or simply soak up the rampant party atmosphere and do some skiing (cue Paris Hilton).
This year's films include "Chapter 27", starring Jared Leto; "Hounddog", Dakota Fanning's first indie picture; and "Grace is Gone", with John Cusack.
I can't wait to get the scoop on which films to watch, which films to miss, and which stars partied harder than all the rest!
