Sarandon And Besson Land Stockholm Film Festival Honours
21 October 2009 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon and French filmmaker Luc Besson are due to accept high honours at the Stockholm Film Festival in Sweden next month.
Sarandon, 63, will receive the lifetime achievement award at the event - with organisers hailing the star for the "reflection, seduction and rebellion" she has portrayed on the big screen throughout her career.
Her most famous roles include rebellious waitress Louise in 1991's Thelma and Louise and her Oscar-winning performance as Sister Helen in 1995 film Dead Man Walking.
Meanwhile, The Fifth Element director Besson, 50, has landed the festival's visionary award for his "relentless" exploration of film.
The 20th Stockholm International Film Festival will take place from 18 to 29 November. »
Some People You Might Know (And Some You Might Not) Are Receiving Awards!
25 September 2009 12:47 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Glenn here from Stale Popcorn here. Nathaniel is still sick (I know what he's got, I had it a couple of months back and it lasted weeks!) and when the going gets sick the sick get to bed. Or something. Let's move on.
I like to consider myself a fairly good follower of awards season, but there are organisations that I admit I have to plead ignorance over. The Gotham Independent Film Awards is one such example. I don't think, in the eight years (or so) that I've been following the Oscars, that I have ever actually figured out who these people are. And yet year after year they seem to throw up such a wonderful, varied and oft left-of-centre list of nominees for their annual awards. Misunderstood or just-not-loved-enough titles like Margot at the Wedding, Marie Antoinette, Frozen River, Me & You & Everyone We Know and others have had the Gotham's spotlight shined on them, »

Interview: Jim Sturgess Across the Universe in ‘Fifty Dead Men Walking’
20 August 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Although the name Jim Sturgess might not be recognized, his work in ‘Across the Universe’ and ‘21’ has certainly made him identifiable. He is in a newly released film about the Irish Republican Army, “Fifty Dead Man Walking.”
Rating: 3.5/5.0 Sturgess plays real-life Martin McGartland, a stalwart soldier for the Ira in 1980s Belfast who decides to become an informant for Britain’s Special Branch, who were trying to infiltrate the Ira to quell some of the violence in Northern Ireland.
At first lured by money, McGartland becomes more aware of the lives he is saving (thus the title). With help from his contact, Fergus (Ben Kingsley), the conflicted McGartland tries desperately to do the right thing for himself and his family.

Some Scary Talk with Peter Sarsgaard
21 July 2009 6:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Peter Sarsgaard made his big-screen debut in 1995's Dead Man Walking as the murder victim Walter Delacroix, but his breakthrough performance was in 1999's Boys Don't Cry as John Lotter, one of the killers of transgendered man Brandon Teena. Since then, he's become famous for his nuanced performances in a wide variety of films like Shattered Glass, Kinsey, Jarhead, and the upcoming An Education.
If you have missed the ubiquitous and creepy posters for his new movie with Vera Farmiga, Orphan, let me give you a quick synopsis. After Kate Coleman (Farmiga) has a stillborn baby, she and her husband John (Sarsgaard) decide to adopt Esther, a deadly serious Russian orphan who wears ribbons around her neck and wrists and old-fashioned ruffly dresses played by Isabelle Fuhrman. But things keep going wrong when Esther's around... hence the tagline in those ubiquitous and creepy posters with the tagline "There's something wrong with Esther. »

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong Has Job for 100 Days, Can't Shut Up About It
20 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
The one-time Google advertising honcho has been at the helm of AOL for 100 days. What's he done, what's next, and can he save the online giant from irrelevance?
At the end of his first 100 days as CEO last week, Armstrong granted multiple interviews, shedding some light on what comes next for AOL.
Fortunately, we read them so you don't have to.
Obligatory Bio Since being named AOL's chief executive in April, former Googler Tim Armstrong has hit 16 cities in 10 countries on a whirlwind tour of AOL's operations, taking notes, shaking hands and, most importantly, determining what AOL actually is. By year's end, Armstrong is hoping to have the company prepared to spinoff from Time Warner in an Ipo, a tall order for any executive in such a short span of time.
AOL's Business Model Armstrong says AOL will focus on five key areas: content, advertising, local communities and mapping, communications, »

No Howard Stark Role for Tim Robbins in 'Iron Man 2'
3 April 2009 1:13 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Despite the percolating rumor, "Iron Man 2" apparently won't see Tim Robbins playing Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark. In an interview with ReelTalk recently, the 50-year-old actor indicated that he won't be seen as the founder of Stark Industries in the "Iron Man" sequel, saying "That was an Internet rumor. Can't trust those Internets."
Back in December 2008, Latino Review has come up with a scoop that Robbins is going to replace Gerard Sanders, the actor who plays the character in the first film. The site moreover claimed that the actor will be seen in an important flashback sequence which will set up the "The Avengers" and "The First Avenger: Captain America" films.
To be directed by Jon Favreau, "Iron Man 2" has "Tropic Thunder" co-scribbler Justin Theroux attached to pen the story. Seeing the return of Robert Downey Jr. as the superhero in armored iron suit, the sequel picks up »

Ben Kingsley plays his contact and handler, with support from Nathalie Press and Rose McGowan.The film's due out here on April 10, and word of mouth in the Empire office is already pretty strong. »
Watch out, Mickey Rourke: Indie Spirit is Oscar's consolation prize
21 February 2009 1:43 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
The Independent Spirit award is supposed to salute what past ceremony host Samuel L. Jackson once called "the strange, the weird, the eclectic, the visionary, the new blood." Ideally, its purpose is to help those low-profile quality films that could use a boost so that someday, maybe, the filmmakers and performers could compete in the big league of the Oscars.
And back when the Spirits took flight, they tried hard to keep to that mission. Indeed, its first best-picture winner in 1985, "After Hours," wasn't nominated for a single Oscar. But then "Platoon" won best pic at both the Spirits and the Oscars the next year. From then on, the Spirits focused more and more on seemingly academy-friendly films, with a corresponding increase in its own profile. While 1987 best-pic winner "River's Edge" was snubbed at the Oscars, other early champs made it into Oscar categories like screenplay ("sex, lies and videotape, »

‘Torchwood’ blogging: “Dead Man Walking”
25 January 2009 11:44 AM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Oh, I can’t help it: This is one of the goofier episodes yet. Owen fighting black-smoke Death in the corridors of a hospital, because Death needs 13 souls? Pul-leeze. It’s all a bit more pointlessly mystical than Torchwood usually gets, and for no good reason. It’s actually almost anticlimactic, really. Sure, it’s creepy, the idea that there’s something out there in the darkness waiting for us after we die, moving, coming to get us, is interesting. But then it just turns out to be, you know, Death? *yawn* There doesn’t even seem to be much of a hint that Death, or whatever it is, is “merely” some kind of alien creature we simply don’t understand: the whole “13 souls” thing seems to put the kibosh on that. And the hospital business seems a bit too banal, too, for Torchwood. Maybe Death is always stalking a »

If you've got a thing for nuns...

You might want to check this out. Two real life nuns (Sisters Julie & Maxine) will be discussing John Patrick Shanley's Doubt live (refresh your screens) for the next two hours, ending @ 4:00 Pm Est. Too bad they aren't just talking about nuns in cinema. I mean, there's so much to discuss. The Nun's Story, Dead Man Walking, Debbie Reynolds, ... Sally Field flying (oh wait, that's TV). »
