CD Review: COSMOPOLIS soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER | 07/14/2012

With nearly ever David Cronenberg collaboration, Howard Shore stretches his imagination into unexpected dimensions of inner madness, from the cathode ray synth sadism of VIDEODROME to CRASH‘s grinding metal and the slow-boil orchestral murder that accompanied A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. In the process, Shore’s found some truly interesting collaborators, particularly as he induced Ornette Coleman’s jazz madness for NAKED LUNCH. But for all of the bizarrely visceral qualities that Shore’s Cronenberg scores have exhibited, they’ve also shown surprising beauty, most recently with the Wagnerian analysis of DANGEROUS METHOD. Now on their fourteenth ride together, Shore’s hypnotic strangeness finds perhaps his […]Read On »

The new animated Disney film WRECK-IT RALPH focuses on an 8-bit character named Wreck-It Ralph from a fictitious 1980s arcade game who decides he’s tired of being a bad guy and starts to game hop into other worlds. Voicing Ralph is John C. Reilly who spoke to the press at Comic-Con 2012 about being in the new cartoon and getting used to the voiceover medium. “With voice over work, you take the whole experience you normally do with your body and channel it all into your voice,” says Reilly. “I became somewhat good at various sound effects. They had to […]Read On »

Comic-Con News: Michelle Williams says she would consider a DAWSON’S CREEK reunion movie

By CARL CORTEZ |

While promoting her new film OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, Michelle Williams was asked by the press whether she would consider doing a DAWSON’S CREEK reunion movie where she played Jen Lindley from 1998 to 2003. Her response is quite surprising. “I would,” she admits. “I’d very happily do a reunion show, but I don’t know what it would be since my character died in the end. There are certain limitations – either I come back as a ghost or you film me through a gauzy lens in flashbacks as my 19-year old self. I would love to. Independently, we’ve […]Read On »

Even though the current poster for OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL looks very much like THE WIZARD OF OZ, director Sam Raimi says it shares the DNA of the L. Frank Baum books, but this is a prequel not a remake or sequel to that beloved 1939 film “We all loved THE WIZARD OF OZ and we were careful not to tread on it and careful to respect it,” admits Raimi. “Ours is a different story that leads up to THE WIZARD OF OZ. It’s how the Wizard came from Kansas to the land of Oz. It’s about a selfish […]Read On »

With the brooding Christopher Nolan directed THE DARK KNIGHT RISES about to hit theaters, people forget that the original BATMAN movie from Tim Burton in 1989 was also perceived as the darkest superhero movie up until that point. While promoting his FRANKENWEENIE stop-motion animated movie at Comic-Con in San Diego, the director remembers the nervousness surrounding his vision and how it compares now with all these dark superhero movies hitting the theaters. “I recall back when we were doing BATMAN how people were worried that it was ‘too dark’, but now it looks like a light-hearted romp – BATMAN ON […]Read On »

Comic-Con News: Director Tim Burton talks FRANKENWEENIE and working in stop motion again

It’s rare a filmmaker gets to revisit something they did when they were starting out, but most filmmakers aren’t Tim Burton. And with FRANKENWEENIE, he’s tackling a feature film incarnation of his 1984 live action short film he did for Disney. The original didn’t go over well, but now he’s bringing it to life in black and white, stop-motion and 3D and we says it was a thrill to go back into that world. “It’s a project that always meant something to me, so it was great to have the opportunity to do it stop-motion, black and white and expand […]Read On »

Where does Edward Cullen end and Robert Pattinson begin? At the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, the actor answered that question a bit while speaking to the press for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 2. “After three movies you kind of get to a point where you can’t tell  where the character ends and you begin,” Pattinson admits. “After a while, there are certain things that are similar. You don’t know if it’s you thinking. It’s like you [see or] read [something] and it’s like … Edward wouldn’t do that. So someone asks you ‘why?’ And you don’t know […]Read On »

CD Review: MEN IN BLACK 3 soundtrack

Who ya gonna call when it’s time to bust some illegal aliens? The answer of course for team Tommy and Will is Danny Elfman, who dons his dark sunglasses and suit to hit the trail with the Men in Black in MEN IN BLACK 3 soundtrack. That proves to be a real charm the third time out for this time-travelling entry that gives a huge, rejuvenating boost to the franchise after an unholy second film (not that Elfman’s music has ever been worse for the wear). Time travel’s the McGuffin that brings Agent J and K back to the 60’s […]Read On »

While speaking to the press at the 2012 Comic-Con, TWILIGHT creator Stephenie Meyer promoting BREAKING DAWN – PART 2, the author says she still has fond memories of when she first met the cast for the first time on the original TWILIGHT movie. “For me, the first time I saw them was pretty memorable,” admits Meyer. “I was meeting them for a cast dinner and they were coming from a shoot in costume, so they were all dressed as my imaginary friends. It was the most bizarre experience of my entire life. It was so cool to see everyone – […]Read On »
