  • Summer Movie Marketing Hotness! | Movie News | 6/26/2008
    As the summer movie season gets into full swing, movie buffs are being treated to a plethora of cool companion Web sites and interactive experiences for their favorite films. Let's take a look at some of the coolest viral campaigns, games and widgets. There are even sites devoted just to the movie marketing initiatives, like the awesome Chris Thilk's Movie Marketing Madness blog.And our favorite viral campaigns for upcoming summer movies are:Wanted (Opens June 27)After her sizzling hot turn as a housewife/assassin in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it seems almost natural that Angelina Jolie would turn in her mommy card and play a different kind of assassin in Wanted. This is a visual feast apparently, with little dialogue to distract the men from drooling over Angie and the woman drooling over yummy James McAvoy (or vice versa for that matter). So, in our investigation of the movies marketing campaign, we came across this site all about the society of secret assassins in the movie. But, as my... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • DVD Tuesday: Sex, Lies and Atonement | Movie News | 3/19/2008
    DVD Tuesday: Sex, lies and betrayal: the ravishing, heartbreaking Atonement comes to DVD!I can't figure out why Atonement didn't get a little more love from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but I'm doing my bit to make up for it. It's beautifully adapted by Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) from Ian McEwan's devastating novel -- which I highly recommend reading; it's just as gripping after you've seen the movie because it's about so much more than what happens next – and features top-notch performances. Just don't expect the new Titanic, which is the way it's been marketed. It's not a glossy period romance; it's a gorgeously photographed examination of the ugly things people do out of ignorance, spite and ambition. England, 1935: The wealthy Tallis family is gathered at its vast country estate on a swelteringly hot summer day. Eldest daughter Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie (James McAvoy), the housekeeper's son Mr. Tallis is beneficently putting... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Jeers: Atonement's Sinful Oscar Nod | Cheers & Jeers | 1/22/2008
    Jeers to the Oscar voters for rewarding Atonement with a knee-jerk best-picture nomination. I took a holiday from TV so I could see it and be prepared for its onslaught of accolades. But I wasn't prepared for what an overwrought piece of kitsch this movie is. Keira Knightley does most of her acting with her shoulderblades, and James McAvoy is a nonentity. And I'm sorry, but did I miss the scene that explains why these two love each other so desperately — or at all? If Joe Wright's odd, silly Titanic wannabe beats Paul Thomas Anderson's genuine masterpiece on Oscar night, there will be blood!• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Breaking Bad, Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more be the first to leave a comment
