Movieline Charts New Territory: Online Video
May 3, 2013 – NEW YORK – Today, Jay Penske—Founder, Chairman and CEO of Penske Media Corporation (PMC), which owns the Movieline brand—announced website Movieline.com’s reinvention: a bold launch into the online video space. Penske said, “We’re seeing the growing demand for online video and the appetite advertisers have to reach these focused audiences. Over [...]
'The Wolverine' ? Hugh Jackman Sees More Of Jean Grey & The Silver Samurai In New Trailer
After the initial trailers for The Wolverine depicted our favorite stogie-smoking X-Man in a vulnerable state, his adamantium blades are singing once more. This CinemaCon clip features Hugh Jackman's character battling a barrage of baddies, including the fierce-looking Silver Samurai, and taking on some heavy arrow damage. Not everyone wants him dead though. In between [...]
WATCH: Shot-For-Shot 'Iron Man 3' Parody Kicks Shiny Metal Ass
From Thailand, by way of the website Kotaku, comes this Sweded shot-for-shot remake of the Iron Man 3 trailer that, frankly would have made Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind a better movie. My favorite scenes are the one in which the Tony Stark stand-in gets a toilet plunger for an oxygen mask in the [...]
REVIEW: Mesmerizing 'Teenage' Rebels Against Traditional Documentary Form
It’s hard to reconcile, considering the degree to which adolescents now dominate popular culture, but the idea of the teenager is a uniquely 20th-century invention, born out of advances in psychological theory, changes in child-labor laws and a boom in leisure-time activities for the under-20 set. A feat of both editing and blurring-of-the-edges nonfiction technique, [...]
'Aftershock' Red-Band Trailer: A Body Count
The deaths keep coming in the red-band trailer for Eli Roth's earthquake gorefest Aftershock. I count seven distinct deaths in this clip, which is just shy of two minutes, but with all the lootin' and a stabbin' going on in the background, I'm clearly being conservative. Roth gets to preside over his own frightfest, too. [...]
TRIBECA: 'The King Of Comedy' Q&A Reveals That Sandra Bernhard & Jerry Lewis Still Irk Each Other
The website for the Tribeca Film Festival has finally put up video from the Q&A session that followed its closing-night presentation of The King of Comedy, but, alas, it's just an excerpt. I was hoping that the discussion — which included the film's director Martin Scorsese and its stars, Robert De Niro, venerable comedian and filmmaker [...]
EARLY REACTION: 'Iron Man 3' ? The Mandarin Is Marvel Studios' Most Daring Super Villain Yet
Iron Man 3 screened in Times Square last night, and though it's practically impossible to talk about the Mandarin without spoilers, I've got to say that he is the most daring creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far. As Ben Kingsley, who portrays the villain, said again and again and again in the trailers, "You [...]
WATCH: 'Iron Man 3' ? A Closer Look At Shellhead's Dramatic Air Rescue Sequence
My palms get sweaty just watching this extended clip of what I hear is one of the most riveting sequences in Iron Man 3. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has to suit up in a jiff and attempt to save 13 flailing, screaming people who've been sucked out of what looks like a crippled Air Force [...]
'Pacific Rim' -- Finally! A Trailer That Kicks Some Monster Ass
If you follow this site, you know I've expressed quite a bit of skepticism about Guillermo del Toro's upcoming giant-robots-and-monsters movie, Pacific Rim. But that was before I saw this trailer that was unveiled at Wondercon in Las Vegas earlier this month. This clip answers a lot of lot of FAQs about the plot and [...]
WATCH: 'The Great Gatsby' Trailer & Photos ? There Will Be Brooding, Too
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how the Baz Luhrmann's trailer for The Great Gatsby contained ample scenes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Jason Clarke screaming. Now, after sifting through more than 50 photos from the movie that Warner Bros. has released into the blogosphere and watching an exclusive trailer that the UK's Daily [...]
TRIBECA: Clint Eastwood Tells Darren Aronofsky It Would Be 'Great' To Be A 100 Year-Old Filmmaker
“I met you once for a handshake and I was terrified,” Darren Aronofsky told Clint Eastwood during their Tribeca Talks Directors Series discussion on Saturday. “I’m still a little terrified.” The two men chatted (fittingly, in directors’ chairs) following the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Eastwood Directs: The Untold Story, a 60-minute documentary about the [...]
INTERVIEW: 'Teenage' Filmmakers Matt Wolf & Jon Savage Make A Doc That Swings
Teenage is as rebellious a film as the territory it covers. Based on punk author Jon Savage's 2007 book Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture 1875-1945, Matt Wolf's documentary eschews the talking heads and Chyroned dates that dominate the genre to immerse the moviegoer in a visually and aurally sumptuous history lesson. Wolf uses rare [...]
'Behind The Candelabra': Soderbergh Bros Discuss Who's 'The Top' In Liberace's Bed
I've been sold on Steven Soderbergh's Liberace movie Behind The Candelabra since the trailer for the HBO movie hit the web earlier this month. But if you need further convincing, the filmmaker drops some interesting details about the movie in a free-ranging discussion with his younger, gay brother Charley Soderbergh in Out magazine. Behind the Candelabra, which premieres [...]
'Lil Bub & Friendz' Is Cat's Meow At Tribeca Film Festival Awards
Unless you count the viral video cat named Lil Bub, the winners of the Tribeca Film Festival's annual awards ceremony are not a glitzy lot, despite the event's reputation as a celebrity-studded affair. Lil Bub & Friendz, Andy Capper and Juliette Eisner's documentary about the walleyed cat with the perpetually protruding tongue and other [...]
REVIEW: 'The Big Wedding' Is Not Fat, Greek, Original ? Or Funny
Let’s face it: The Big Wedding was more fun when it was fat and Greek — or loud and French, in the case of this adaptation of Gallic laffer Mon frere se marie. Writer-director Justin Zackham awkwardly blends feel-good pablum and raunchy sex jokes with the expected nuptial ingredients: something old (just look at that cast), [...]
INTERVIEW: 'Avengers' Actor Clark Gregg Plays A Different Kind Of Agent In 'Trust Me'
Clark Gregg has gone from babysitting the Avengers to child actors. Gregg, aka S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson, took a break from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to write, direct and star in his second feature Trust Me , in which he plays another kind of highly specialized agent — the Hollywood kind, for kids. What drove Gregg — who [...]
'Silver Linings Playbook': Alternate Ending Includes Jacki Weaver's Braciole Recipe
An eight-minute alternate ending to David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook has landed on the Internets, and though it wraps up things a little too neatly (with virtually all of the main characters), it's fun to watch. It also yields a quick-and-dirty recipe for braciole, those seasoned skirt-steak roll-ups that Jacki Weaver always seems to be [...]
INTERVIEW: Zac Efron & Dennis Quaid Stick With Independent Film 'At Any Price'
The studios want him, but, these, days Zac Efron only has eyes for indie film. After making a splash at the New York Film Festival with The Paperboy last fall, Efron is back in the Big Apple, at the Tribeca Film Festival, with At Any Price. What's the deal? "Y'know, Dennis [Quaid] says that the only rule [...]
REVIEW: 'Iron Man 3' Proves Its Mettle Despite Symptoms Of Franchise Fatigue
The third time is neither a particular charm nor the kiss of death for Marvel Studios’ robust Iron Man series, which has changed studios (from Paramount to Disney) and directors (Shane Black subbing for Jon Favreau) but otherwise toyed little with the formula that has so far generated more than $1.2 billion in global ticket sales. [...]
INTERVIEW: Ethan Hawke & Richard Linklater Discuss 'Before Midnight' At Tribeca Film Festival
"I've been acting since I was 13 years old, so I love playing around with different genres of movies...It keeps my profession fresh for me," Ethan Hawke told me on the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival. Hawke is here to make the rounds for Before Midnight, the third entry in writer/director Richard Linklater's popular indie [...]
