In Contention's Kris Tapley falls in love with Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," calls "Pineapple Express" "the best movie of the year."
Tapley also stirs up awards buzz for Rosemarie Dewitt's performance in Joanthan Demme's "Rachel Getting Married" and shares the "Appaloosa" trailer, which, I have to say, could be a surprise contender. Any western with Jeremy Irons has got my vote.
Is Natalie Portman in talks to join David Gordon Green's remake of "Suspiria?" Bloody-Disgusting's Brad Miska says YES but AICN's Quint is hearing NO.
JoBlo has the first review of David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." There's not much to go on but the reviewer predicts nominations for Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, not that he's beating anyone to the punch.
Jeff Wells gives "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" another shot and walks away much more impressed than he did at Cannes but he still can't forgive the film's lack of nudity.
JoBlo has also posted a trailer for Gregor Jordan's "The Informers," based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. A great cast could go a long way in this dark tale of Los Angelenos but why did they cut Brandon Routh's vampire subplot? Also, it's great to see Brad Renfro pop up here. R.I.P.
MTV's Movies Blog debuts the trailer for David Wain's "Role Models." Back in my development intern days I knew Tim Dowling's side-splitting script as "Big Brothers" and while a lot has changed since then, I'm loving the teaming of Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott here. Plus there's McLovin' in a cape! Chicka chicka yeah!
It seems Michael Bay has tapped musicvideo/commercial director Sam Bayer to helm Platinum Dunes' "Fiasco Heights." Kyle Ward's gritty script is an absolute knockout and depending on the casting, this one could be the next "Sin City."
JoBlo debuts a "shitload of posters" including Guy Ritchie's new film "RocknRolla," which features a little too much Gerard Butler and not enough Idris Elba (Stringer Bell on "The Wire") or Tiffany Mulheron ("Life is Wild," "Hollyoaks"). It still looks like a return to form for the "Lock, Stock" director and bonus props for casting Toby Kebbell who was so great in "Dead Man's Shoes" and "Control."
