Love and Other Drugs, trailer

by Ryan Adams on August 13, 2010

Maggie (Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won’t let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie’s evolving relationship takes [...]

Scott Rudin buys film rights to Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom

by Ryan Adams on August 13, 2010

A favorite novel of mine (and I think Sasha’s too) is Jonathan Franzen’s 2001 archaeological excavation of an American family, The Corrections. Since I’d hate to decide what parts of that sprawling saga might get trimmed for an adaptation, it’s hard to visualize the story on the screen unless spread across the canvas of [...]

Top 10 Most Influential Film Critics?

by Ryan Adams on August 13, 2010

I’ll go ahead and assemble the names we’ve collected into a poll ballot, just for the curiosity element and sheer time-killing fun of it. (which, obviously, were the only real reasons for me raising the question to begin with. My own idle thumb-twiddling curiosity.) Sasha’s reply to this headline question looks to be the [...]

Made In Dagenham, trailer

by Ryan Adams on August 13, 2010

Try to imagine how cringy The Full Monty or Four Weddings and a Funeral might have turned out if they’d been Hollywood films instead of UK imports. Then try to imagine how Norma Rae might have been less like an earnest Norman Rockwell illustration by avoiding corniness with a spritely sidestep. You can stop imagining […]

Cream of the Crop, Top of the Heap: The Critics Who Matter Most

by Ryan Adams on August 12, 2010

MetaCritic typically collects reviews from around 40 critics and Rotten Tomatoes names roughly the same number among its ‘Top Critics.’ The individual lists of critics change from film to film, with a core group of 25 who never seem to miss a movie. 20 other critics slide on and off the edges of the guest […]

Freakonomics Trailer is Here

Thanks to reader A.J. who alerted us to this Slash Film post.

How do You Know Trailer

by Sasha Stone on August 12, 2010

Just posted at InContention. Will it be good Jim Brooks or bad Jim Brooks? ¬†I hope it’s good Jim Brooks. Good Jim Brooks for me is Terms of Endearment, The Simpsons, As Good as it Gets and Broadcast News. Broadcast News is probably my favorite, even still (“I am singing and reading BOTH”). Bad Jim […]

“Sumptuous”: Eat Pray Love wins important support

by Ryan Adams on August 12, 2010

24 hours ago the first reviews for Eat Pray Love trickled in from sources we don’t usually reward with main page quotes. As the second wave of reviews wash ashore this morning, seems appropriate to spotlight another more important voice of support. A.O. Scott at the New York Times shows he gets the groove of […]

Best Picture Rankings

by Sasha Stone on August 12, 2010

Erik Childress over at Cinematical has done the brave thing and decided to rank the current Best Pic contenders. This isn’t a practice we recommend because there is just no way to tell what films will emerge, really, out of Toronto, Venice or the end of the year’s last gasp. Childress knows this and makes […]

Early reviews for Eat Pray Love

by Ryan Adams on August 11, 2010

Two critics from Florida break out of the gate with early reviews for Eat Pray Love. We’ve never featured either of these guys, and the only reason I’m doing so now is because they’re the first to jump the gun. Two moderate thumbs up, one thumb a bit more wobbly than the other. Both agree […]
