Filed under: Movies — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Michelle McCue @ 1:05 pm

Starring together in Stephen Frears’ 1988 drama DANGEROUS LIAISONS, John Malkovich and Glenn Close reunite in the upcoming movie THE WILDE WEDDING.

Here’s a brand new look at the movie.

In THE WILDE WEDDING, now-retired film star Eve Wilde (Glenn Close) prepares for her wedding to husband number four, renowned English writer Harold Alcott (Patrick Stewart) after a whirlwind courtship.

At her upstate New York home – in the presence of both Wilde’s first husband, celebrated stage actor Laurence Darling (John Malkovich), and their collective families (Minnie Driver, Jack Davenport, Yael Stone, Peter Facinelli, Noah Emmerich, Grace Van Patten) – the long summer weekend offers the opportunity for everyone to get to know each other a bit more intimately.

As sexual sparks begin to fly, there are unforeseen consequences abound.

Directed by Damian Harris, the film will hit theaters September 15th from Vertical Entertainment.

SUPER 8 – The Review

Filed under: General News,Review — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Melissa Howland @ 9:06 am

If you have any sort of affinity towards sci-fi, or just good movies, you need to see SUPER 8.

Joe and his friends love movies. In fact, they spend all of their free time making their very own zombie film. Then it happened. After sneaking out after curfew to get some night footage at the local train station, they witnessed a horrible train crash. The kids barely had time to think before the United States Air Force was scouring the area on an emergency clean up. What was on that train that would require the military to come in so fast, and why were they being so secretive. Despite the increasing presence of the military in their town, these kids continue on their mission… to finish their movie.

This movie knocked my socks off! I know this will be said a lot, but this film reminds me of a  THE GOONIES / CLOVERFIELD mash up, which are both great films. Needless to say, I was beyond pleased! This film had adventure, self discovery, action, comedy, zombies (for their film) AND AN ALIEN! WOW!

Joel Courtney, who plays the lead character of Joe Lamb is phenomenal. This is his first starring film, and he knocked it out of the park! His character is a quiet kid who just lost his mother to an accident at work. He is now forced to live with his father, who he has never been close to. His father (Kyle Chandler as Jackson Lamb) is a local police officer that bury’s himself in his work. The thing that I really enjoyed about Joel’s character is the depth. Sure, this kid is a bit of a pushover, but there is also a sense of kindness in his eyes. His character is extremely sentimental, and very well rounded. Watching the development from a quiet sheep, which his best friend Charles (Riley Griffiths) pushes around a great deal, to the brave, danger facing, alien chasing kid that we see at the end of the film is quite a journey. They took a great deal of time and care in creating this character, and it shows!

Joe Lamb’s friends are… well… awesome! Cary, played by Ryan Lee is my favorite of the friends by far! Not only does this kid have a mouth like a sailor, but he enjoys setting things on fire. Lee’s character adds a comedic tones that adds to the many elements of this film. Ryan Lee is a fantastic actor, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him on film! Elle Fanning (Alice Dainard) and Riley Griffiths (Charles) had the most screen time out of the friends. Fanning, playing Joe’s love interest, and Riley, playing the pushy best friend and director, both added some great elements to their characters. Fanning’s character played her “bad girl from a troubled home” with a richness. You can see right away that there is a lot brewing inside of her, especially the first time she rehearses her lines for their zombie film. Griffiths character tries to appear bossy and tough, but is the first to get scared when trouble hits. I always appreciate when things aren’t what they seem, especially in a character. I think this is the first movie in a very long time where I enjoyed every casting choice!

The effects in this film were superb! The train crash actually had me nervous as I watched. They didn’t go over the top with aliens and cheesy effects. Instead, the effects were used to enhance the story, and were done to perfection. Would I have liked to see a little more alien? Sure, but at the same time, I appreciate how the story was concentrated on the characters rather than focusing all of the attention on the alien. Spielberg has always done a great job of making aliens with depth, and this is no exception.

SPOILER BELOW

Towards the end of the film, I really felt horrible for how the human race treated that poor creature. Spielberg is very good about making sure that his creatures show their true emotions in their eyes (Perfect example, E.T.). Although there is only one major close up of the alien, they really captured his feelings.

END SPOILER

I could go on and on, or you can go see it for yourself. This whole movie blew me away! This film really shows what a bad ass J.J. Abrams is!

OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5 stars

Paramount Pictures Publishes Vintage Super 8T iPhone App

Filed under: General News — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Michelle McCue @ 12:16 pm

Users and Critics Give Super 8™ Five Stars as
the “Best Movie Tie-in App”

HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 19, 2011) – Super 8™, the new full-featured video recorder that emulates a vintage Super 8 camera, is getting rave reviews from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users around the world. The app’s creation is tied to the highly anticipated summer movie SUPER 8, which will be released by Paramount Pictures on June 10th.

Drawing a coveted five-star rating from users within hours of its release by Paramount Pictures, both fans and reviewers are calling the Super 8™ app the best movie tie-in app of all time.

The app, which is distributed by Paramount Digital Entertainment and was created by app-development newcomer QMx Interactive and Bad Robot Interactive, a division of Bad Robot Productions, allows users to create vintage movies on their Apple mobile devices. Super 8™ comes with seven photorealistic lenses sporting such effects as infrared, chromatic and x-ray. Users can overlay additional filter effects – like light leaks and vignettes – and “age” their film with a random scratch-and-dirt filter. There’s even a frame-shake effect to top off the old-school feel of Super 8™-made movies.

Users can collect their shots and arrange or delete them to get that perfect narrative, and send their masterpiece off to be developed (no mailbox required: developing film happens entirely within the app). Once the movie is complete, users are transported to the Super 8™ projector room, where pulling down the screen and pressing “Play” on the projector will start their screening. Movies can be shared via e-mail or through social media sites via the iOS’s gallery.

Playing back your movies on the Super 8™ projector may reveal missing frames from the Super 8 Editing Room Film. Be the first to collect all the frames to unlock a new clip at S8editingroom.com!

Best of all, the Super 8™ app is free for a limited time. The app can be downloaded at the iTunes App Store.

SUPER 8, the feature film, is a Bad Robot/Amblin Entertainment production, directed by J.J. Abrams from his original script and produced by Steven Spielberg, Abrams and Bryan Burk.

In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

The film stars Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills.

SUPER 8 Poster #2

Filed under: General News,Posters — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Michelle McCue @ 5:54 pm

From Apple/iTunes comes the debut of the new SUPER 8 poster. With all those foreboding clouds overhead, boy does it ever remind me of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. Even more so when the poster is flipped on it’s side and you can see what appears to be some kind of ominous light approaching from behind the water tower in the distance. This film is going to be so good!

Have another gander at the Spielberg-y trailer that Paramount Pictures released earlier today over on the official twitter page of SUPER 8.
