International box office is obviously very important to films that are made in the U.S. Many times, domestic productions only become profitable after the world has had a chance to sample the goods. It makes sense that some movie titles will be changed in order to better communicate the movie's concept; especially with so many relying on English-language idioms and slang that doesn't translate well into other languages. Two films released today in France provide good examples.
Frederic Ambroisine, filmmaker and film critic, tweeted today that Get Him to the Greek has received a limited release in Paris, retitled as American Trip, while Youth in Revolt has been changed to Be Bad!. The former sounds vanilla, though the German version, pictured above, looks better; I prefer the Spanish title, Todo Sobre Mi Desmadre, which sounds positively decadent (All About My Total Chaos?). But I like the idea of Michael Cera trying to Be Bad! (love that added exclamation mark, and the phrase comes straight from the movie). In Mexico it's known as La chica de mis suenos (The Girl of My Dreams), which sounds pretty sappy.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:32:00 EST - Toy Story 3, the best-reviewed film of the summer (99% on Rotten Tomatoes) and, thus far, the highest-grossing film of the year (Disney/Pixar first film to top $400 million domestically), hits DVD and Blu-Ray on November 2nd, well in advance of the end-of-the-year holidays. Disney/Pixar isn't just giving fans a standard DVD or Blu-Ray package, they're giving us several, and that's not including the option of purchasing the ToyStory trilogy in a 10 disc Blu-Ray/DVD collection.
If you're like me, you've already pre-ordered the DVD or Blu-Ray, but if you're undecided, here are highlights of what you can expect from each version:
In October of 2009, Kristian Anderson was diagnosed with bowel cancer -- and the news got worse: it had spread to his liver. The 35-year-old husband and father didn't let the diagnosis get him down, though -- and has since spent his time between chemotherapy treatments urging men to get tested early and often, saying "If I had got tests done when I first suspected something, I might have only had bowel cancer and they could have just gone straight in and cut it out ... It doesn't matter if it's nothing but the best thing you can do is find out it's nothing."
With his wife Rachel's birthday approaching, Anderson wanted to do something special for her. He got in touch with a local radio show who helped him reach out to actor Hugh Jackman and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key. With those two on board (Rachel's from New Zealand, hence the Prime Minister's appearance), Anderson made her a special birthday video that's sure to have you reaching for the Kleenex.
Using hand-written messages on poster board (because he says his wife claims he talks too much), Anderson expresses his love for his wife. In case that wasn't enough, Jackman pops in through the magic of editing to actually voice the sentiment. It's one of those touching, beautiful and sad videos that we see a lot more often thanks to the Internet. Rachel's clearly a lucky lady.
Watch the video for yourself after the jump -- just be prepared for a good case of misty-eye syndrome when it's over.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:50:00 EST - Michelle Rodriguez is not a shy gal, and she's more than happy to discuss with reporters what she really wants to do with her life -- and that's to write. In an interview with Cinematical about Machete (which I highly encourage you to go see, if you like things that are awesome), she spilled the beans on some scripts she's working on.
"I'm writing three things right now, honey. I'm busting booty!" she said. "Girlfight was my first movie, and now I'm like, ten years later, a decade later, I'm ready to do what I got into the business for, and I'm doing three projects right now... It's gnarly. Hopefully something will pop out of this, and we can start making some cool movies with chicks in it."
The first and most tangible script is a remake of the German films Bandits, about four girls who get together as a band behind bars. "That's gonna be fun to cast, man," Rodriguez said, laughing. "I'm about 40 pages into it, into the second act, and I'm loving it. I've got a new stylized kind of format to shoot it in, and I'm hoping that we find some interesting and some cool director to pull it off. Because it's not every day you come across someone who understands beauty in the [mundane], and I need somebody like that to both shoot it and direct it, so it's going to be tough.
It's not just the story line. The story line, for me, is easy. It comes second nature [to me]. The hard part is going to be finding somebody to interpret it and understand what sexy is and what beautiful is and what pop culture is, because all of these elements are going to be so important to the project."
One of the strangest Public Service Announcements ever filmed has been making the rounds on the Internet over the course of the past few weeks, and we couldn't resist the urge to share it with you.
Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) stars in this 1992 PSA warning viewers against the dangers of crack cocaine while explaining exactly what crack is and how no one knows how much it takes to kill you. Pee-Wee then reminds everyone that it's okay to want to be cool, but doing it with crack isn't just wrong -- it could be dead wrong!
The clip is bizarre because Herman is a comedian who appealed to young children (who probably weren't quite ready to start smoking crack yet) and stoners (who'd already found their drug of choice) -- plus how hard is it to take Pee-Wee seriously about anything? I spent the whole time waiting for him to bust out his iconic laugh or start shouting, "I know you are but what am I?" when someone called him a crackhead.
Clearly, videos like this demonstrate why we pretty much lost the war on drugs -- the government guys authorizing these ads obviously had no idea who would get through to their target audience. In Herman's defense, he made the video as part of his plea deal after his arrest for indecent exposure inside a Florida porn theater. Under those circumstances, it seems unlikely that Pee-Wee got to make any suggestions or offer up any potential rewrites to punch up the dialogue a bit.
Check out the video after the jump -- then let us know what you thought of one the lesser films in Pee-Wee's filmography in the comments section below.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:19:00 EST - The Telluride Film Festival, which takes place every Labor Day weekend in the mind-expandingly gorgeous San Juan Mountains, is the favorite film festival of anyone who's ever attended it. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. The four-day festival is neither hectic nor amped, but it nonetheless manages to showcase the best of each year's Cannes and Toronto line-ups, as well as invariably some rarities and older films to savor.
This year, Eric D. Snider and I will be bringing you the news and reviews from Colorado. (It's Eric's first trip, which is doubly exciting.) And the line-up, announced earlier today, looks excellent, showcasing Cannes favorites like Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Biutiful, Mike Leigh's Another Year, and Stephen Frears' Tamara Drewe, as well as high-profile premieres like Mark Romanek's eagerly awaited Never Let Me Go (with superstar novelist Kazuo Ishiguro in attendance) and Tom Hooper's The King's Speech, which is getting major Oscar buzz for Colin Firth.
The title that really makes me tingle with anticipation is Peter Weir's POW flick The Way Back. Weir makes two movies a decade these days, if we're lucky, and they're always good. (I am maybe the world's biggest Peter Weir fan; two of his movies -- The Truman Show and Gallipoli -- would make my all-time top 20 if I were to construct one.) Weir is getting one of the festival's "Silver Medallion" awards, which is usually a bit of an exercise in who-can-we-get-to-come, but this is a great choice. The festival will also be screening Weir's long-lost 1979 horror film The Plumber, which I have never seen and will do my very best to catch.
I know what you're thinking: how can I talk about the one and only Ghostbusters and not talk about that song. Well, today I thought I would honor all the unsung heroes of the soundtrack to one of the greatest comedies of all time by dedicating this Scenes (Songs) We Love to Alessi's Saving the Day in honor of all the other songs that never broke into the public consciousness quite like Ray Parker Jr.s musical question; Who You Gonna Call?
Alessi, or The Alessi Brothers, as they were sometimes known, were a twin singer-songwriting duo who were most famous for their contribution to Ivan Reitman's flick, although they had some success back in 1977 with the song Oh Lori. The brothers recorded five albums together, and worked with artists like Barry Gibb, Art Garfunkel, and for some reason, Debbie Gibson. After spending some time in the world of advertising, the duo reunited and are still touring to this day, but unfortunately relegated to the grand tradition of One Hit Wonders.
I may have loved the Ghostbusters theme song, but Saving the Day was the track I wore out on my soundtrack tape (although Magic was probably a close second) for a very specific reason: it was the moment that the good guys won. By the time Venkman an the gang were banged up in a holding cell and Walter Peck seemed to have won; our heroes managed to talk their way out of it. So when those opening bars to Alessi's track began, I was so emotionally invested in the triumph of my beloved Ghostbusters that this song was instantly burned into my brain -- what can I say? I was nine.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:02:00 EST - We're all well aware of the subtle and subjective art of the cinematic rating system. Remove a word here, take out an innuendo or slip of the nip there, and suddenly that risque adult fare becomes palatable for familial audiences. But here's a new goodie to consider: With the rise of 3D, will we start seeing the same film receive different ratings between the second and third dimension, and what will that mean for the ever-important box office take?
It seems that overseas in Sweden, the country's Board of Film Censors doled out two different ratings for Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. The 2D version was rated G, meaning everyone could see it without adult supervision, while the 3D version was rated PG, requiring adults to accompany tykes under the age of 7.
I've always assumed that the Transformers films were more painful to watch than to make, but apparently that may not be the case. CBS 2 Chicago is reporting that an extra on the set of Transformers 3 was seriously injured during a stunt on the film's Indiana set last night. Gabriela Cedillo - a 24 year-old Chicago resident - had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital after an object pierced the windshield of the car she was driving and struck her in the head. The car - Cedillo's personal 2006 Toyota - slammed into the road's median barrier after impact and then scraped along the concrete divide for almost a mile before finally coming to a stop.
The strange part of all of this is not that another person was injured during a Michael Bay shoot (his dialogue scenes tend to feature more explosions than some small wars), but that Cedillo is supposedly not a member of the production's stunt crew. The CBS report suggests that she was merely an extra, but why would an extra be participating in a vehicular stunt scene, and driving her own car no less? The accident was serious enough to shutter production for the day, but thus neither Bay nor Paramount have offered any comment (if Cedillo were a puppy, Bay would no doubt already be on the warpath.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:32:00 EST - Watching the Emmys the other night, I saw George Clooney on the stage accepting his Bob Hope Humanitarian Award and then I saw Jon Hammin the audience (they cut to him as Clooney left the stage) and wondered if he's that next TV star to transition to being an A-list film actor. Will he be back in 15 years to similarly win a special honor? Is he even big into causes? In any event, he's about to hit the big screen in next week's The Town and later this month in Howl, and now he's also eying a more prominent role in the indie comedy Friends with Kids, according to Showbiz 411.
The film was written by Hamm's girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt(maybe you saw her with him at the Emmys), who previously scripted and starred in the indie hit Kissing Jessica Stein and the cute, little seen rom-com Ira & Abby. Hamm had minor roles in both prior to becoming famous as Don Draper. This time he'll star, and I wonder if we'll get to see the real-life couple playing an onscreen couple presumably dealing with the fact that all their friends have kids and they don't (and maybe, like Hamm and Westfeldt, aren't even married).
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:45:00 EST - Television gets its share of replacement actors. When a series goes into one, two, or many years, not all of the cast is going to stick around. That might mean seeing David Tennant replace Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who, Kirstie Alley replacing Shelley Long on Cheers, or Cheryl Ladd taking over for Farrah Fawcett on Charlie's Angels. There have been high points, low points, and shocking new faces ... but this new one might take the cake.
Why are we talking about television here? Because executive producer Paul Lieberstein really wants to cast Harvey Keitel as Steve Carell's replacement on The Office. Harvey. Keitel. Not a rumor, nor an example of random wild dreaming, Lieberstein hopes to replace The 40-Year-Old Virgin with The Bad Lieutenant.
Usually when I talk about music around these parts, it's with an eye on the movies. But even though most of my inspirations come from movies -- with the music as a vital, but supporting player -- today I thought I would try to do things a little differently. Which is why today is all about music that was inspired by the movies.
Pop music is littered with movie references, and sometimes the references are a little more obscure, as is the case with the genesis of Bob Seger's classic Night Moves. Legend has it that the idea for the song was born as Seger walked out of the theater for George Lucas' American Graffiti and he realized that he had his own stories of a misspent youth to share. But other inspirations can be a little more obvious, like with Jay Z's tribute to Frank Lucas and American Gangster with his album of the same name.
We all know inspiration can come from the unlikeliest of places (yes, even from within darkened movie theaters), and so here are five songs that could never have existed without a little inspiration from the silver screen.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:15:00 EST - Though there are five (or is it fifty?) projects Angelina Jolie is flirting with or prepping for right now -- from her directorial debut in Bosnia to Cleopatra -- there's one film she's definitely not doing. In fact, she's refused to sign on twice now, even after some salivating hard-core press from the studio, an intriguing premise, a great director, and big money.
Though Warner Bros. fought to bring her into the fold, and she was initially intrigued by the project when it was at Universal, Jolie refuses to headline Gravity, Alfonso Cuaron's upcoming 3D sci-fi film, which would see her in a challenging Cast Away-type role set on a space station.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:32:00 EST - Oh man... That insane gamble otherwise known as Battleship shows no signs of stopping, even though many of you agree that it's somewhat ridiculous and most likely doomed. Whether we like it or not, the future is bringing us a board-game finagling that will see Navy types battling aliens on the open seas. It stars the utterly baffling mix of Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard, Tom Arnold, Hamish Linklater, and Brooklyn Decker (a model).
At this point, it seems beyond our mental capacity to imagine how this will play out. But finally, we've got our first look at Rihanna on set, dressed in Navy duds and ready to kick some alien ass.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:45:00 EST - Until a month or so ago, I didn't realize that Tyler Perry's next film, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, was based on an acclaimed play. No, even with a cast that included Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine, Macy Gray and Janet Jackson among others, I had just assumed that we were looking at another tone-deaf gospel-laced melodrama. (To date, I've seen all but one of his feature films, so believe me when I say that they're identical in both content and execution.)
Colored Girls might be something to contend with, though. Left with little to push for awards this fall beyond maybe Ryan Reynolds in Buried (if they're feeling frisky, and I hope that they are), Lionsgate has moved the film's release up by two months, from January '11 to November 5 -- a vote of confidence if ever I saw one.
Then again, nobody's seen the thing yet, but maybe, just maybe, Perry leveled his direction out this time. If so, let's just hope that he doesn't let Madea accept any awards on his behalf...
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 09:02:00 EST - There's a video circulating that I haven't had the stomach to watch, but it shows a girl throwing puppies into a river. Puppies, people. I know there are people who like to watch stuff like this -- I believe they're called sociopaths -- but Michael Bay is not one of them. And no, I'm not linking to it. You know how to use Google.
Bay might be Hitler on set according to Megan Fox, but he's a bleeding heart puppy-lover when it comes right down to it. Although I'm not sure it will put my butt in the seat to watch Transformers Take Chi-Town, it does make me feel a little warm and fuzzy towards him.
According to Gawker, the director "is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of the woman in the red sweatshirt and the person who shot this act of cruelty."
The blog post has since been removed, but Gawker has thoughtfully taken a screen capture of the blog post from "Nelson," the person who runs Bay's site and sometimes posts for him when he's busy making stuff blow up. Nelson describes them as "squealing puppies." They're squealing. Squealing!
Whether or not it was removed because the girl has apparently issued an apology (complete with a frowny face!) via YouTube, or if the Bosnian police have solved the case, or if it was because the animal lovers at 4chan found her already is anyone's guess. 4chan recently found out pretty much everything there was to know about a woman who was seen on video throwing a live cat into a garbage can less than 24 hours after the video surfaced. Incidentally, she's now under police protection.
So, don't eff with 4chan, the Bosnian police, or with Michael Bay. Especially 4chan.
- Another operative is in place for Mission: Impossible IV (don't call it that). Paula Pattonwill join Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner for the reboot-or-whatever-it-is-exactly as a young agent. Now here's an idea so crazy it might just work: Patton's Precious co-star Gabourey Sidibe for the villain!
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson are expected to star in the Diablo Cody-adapted zom-rom-com Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. Suddenly this video tutorial on how to make ScarJo look like a zombie comes in handy.
My dad is old, and he kind of looks like W.C. Fields. He's old enough that there was a time in his life when people probably thought he actually was W.C. Fields. His favorite movie is Doctor Zhivago, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't enjoyed a movie since (he walked out of The Dark Knight in favor of Mamma Mia! And he walked out of Mamma Mia! in favor of a ham sandwich). He's not much of a movie-goer, but if you asked him which recent film is about "A swat team sent into a pitch black apartment building where a virus that turns people into demons is raging," he'd instantly be able to tell you that it's Rec 2, the plot of which he was intimately familiar with a month before its theatrical release. That's because my dad aimlessly watches a lot of television, and in his endless quest to find C-SPAN he rolls his eyes across the Magnolia Pictures "Early Screening" tab embedded in Time Warner Cable's VOD menus several dozen times a month.
In October of 2007 Magnolia inaugurated their "Ultra VOD" program by allowing cable subscribers to watch Brian De Palma's Redacted prior to its appearance in cinemas, and have since made approximately 75 films a year available to rent directly through VOD services. The vast majority of those titles have been made available day & date with their theatrical bows, but only a chosen few have received the "Ultra" service and been beamed exclusively into viewers living rooms for $10.99 a pop ($9.99 in standard definition). And my dad is a perfect example of why Magnolia would be interested in providing customers with early access to much-anticipated titles for less than the cost of a movie ticket.
Michelle Rodriguez has literally fought her way to stardom, starting with Karyn Kusama's boxing drama Girlfight. Rodriguez came away with an Independent Spirit Award for Best Debut Performance and the start of a unique career as one of Hollywood's action heroines. In the past ten years, Rodriguez has driven with The Fast and the Furious, fought zombies in Resident Evil, rode the waves in Blue Crush, got Lost, and piloted one of James Cameron's futuristic ships in Avatar.
Rodriguez's latest role as Luz in Robert Rodriguez's Machete takes the action star to a whole new level of kicking ass. Deep in the heart of Texas, Luz runs a taco truck that feeds the local day laborers home-style food, comfort, and hope for a better future -- as well information about jobs, how to get papers, or even cash in a pinch. Luz's alter ego is Shé, a revolutionary, gun-totin' mama who runs an underground network that helps immigrants once they've crossed the border into the Texas. Luz ends up being a much-needed friend to Machete (Danny Trejo), a former Federales who escaped a Mexican drug lord by the skin of his teeth and keeps finding himself in increasingly messy situations on the Texan side of the border. He's got a machete, but Luz has got, well, a lot more than a taco truck on her side.
Rodriguez took some time out of her busy day to talk to Cinematical about self-stereotyping, playing with politics in Machete, and the outer space kind of aliens she'll be fighting in Battle: Los Angeles.
Historically it's nothing new. Just look at Merian C. Cooper for a prime example. Or go back to the Lumiere brothers. But these days it's becoming more and more common for successful documentary filmmakers to jump ship, most of the time only temporarily, and give fiction a try. Michael Moore, Barbara Kopple and Errol Morris have all done it. Seth Gordon seems to be sticking with it. Werner Herzog has been balancing both mediums for a while. And now the latest documentarian to make the transition is Nanette Burstein, whose fiction debut, the raunchy yet sweet rom-com Going the Distance, opens this Friday.
Usually I'm disappointed with the filmmakers who try it, even while recognizing that maybe a cash-grab fiction project here will help finance a great non-fiction film there. The truth is few documentarians make good narrative features (see Canadian Bacon, Havoc, The Dark Wind, Four Christmases). Burstein is the exception, though. I revisited her three feature-length docs, two of them co-directed with Brett Morgen, and one made solo, and have to say she's better off doing stuff like Going the Distance, even with its faults. It's not that she's a bad documentarian, but her work in that medium is actually more pedestrian than this new Hollywood effort.

Geyser Internet video upload service and audio-to-video Slideshow Creator. Search engines love videos!
That's
how we've been able to gain 9 of the top 10 Google
listings with a keyword of over 800,000 competitors. Where just
a little over a year ago there were NO places for people to host their videos,
there are now more than 200 different sites, and the list grows each week. Many
of these sites command very high Alexa rankings, and get tons of traffic.
YouTube alone often gets more than 100 million visitors a day... and that can
spell a lot of profit for the wise Internet marketer... We have identified the
30-plus MAJOR video sites that have high Alexa ratings and high PR. Getting your
videos into these sites means guaranteed traffic for you and/or your customers.
However there is a problem.... Uploading videos to these sites can be very
time consuming and frustrating, (Here's the
answer), they all have different
requirements. With an average size of 25 to 100 MB per video... it can take days
to send one video to those top 30-plus sites. We know several marketers who have
hired people full time to do nothing but submit videos, and they're raking in
the cash.. Now you can do it automatically. CLICK HERE to find out more.

The Telluride Film Festival, which takes place every Labor Day weekend in the mind-expandingly gorgeous San Juan Mountains, is the favorite film festival of anyone who's ever attended it. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. The four-day festival is neither hectic nor amped, but it nonetheless manages to showcase the best of each year's Cannes and Toronto line-ups, as well as invariably some rarities and older films to savor.
We're all well aware of the subtle and subjective art of the cinematic rating system. Remove a word here, take out an innuendo or slip of the nip there, and suddenly that risque adult fare becomes palatable for familial audiences. But here's a new goodie to consider: With the rise of 3D, will we start seeing the same film receive different ratings between the second and third dimension, and what will that mean for the ever-important box office take?
Watching the Emmys the other night, I saw George Clooney on the stage accepting his Bob Hope Humanitarian Award and then I saw 
Television gets its share of replacement actors. When a series goes into one, two, or many years, not all of the cast is going to stick around. That might mean seeing David Tennant replace Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who, Kirstie Alley replacing Shelley Long on Cheers, or Cheryl Ladd taking over for Farrah Fawcett on Charlie's Angels. There have been high points, low points, and shocking new faces ... but this new one might take the cake.
