Good morning!
Just in case you missed our Google Hangout with Whitney Mixter and Somer Bingham of The Real L Word yesterday, you can watch it all right here.
Bisexual actress Olivia Thirlby looked ravishing at the Dredd 3D premiere last night. I am loving her hair.

Speaking of bisexual, Berkeley, California is celebrating Bisexual Day on September 23. Yay!
It's Pia Sundhage's last game with the Us Women's Team today. Espnw has a great piece on her leaving, with players like Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach praising her style. Pia talked about being a Gold-medal winning coach but still having a gender barrier in the game.
If I go into a locker room where it's only women's soccer, I have the status. If I go into a locker room with men, I don't have the same status.

This week, everyone has an opinion on Steven Soderbergh's latest "Contagion," while "Tanner Hall" disappoints. Figure out what to see by checking out all the reviews published this week on indieWIRE and our Blog Network. “The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu” Reverseblog Andrei Ujica has made a documentary without voice-over narration or talking-head commentary of any kind, without introductory titles for principal personages, without scene-setting placards that provide context "Contagion" Leonard ...

The Help and Inception might not have much in common thematically, but the former just matched the latter’s record for most weekends at #1, and it is the only film to do so since Christopher Nolan‘s 2010 blockbuster. Dropping only 2.3% and bringing its total to almost $118m, we may have to wait until The Dark Knight Rises to see that record matched again.
Even though it opened on Wednesday, Focus Features’ The Debt (also starring The Help‘s Jessica Chastain) topped the new releases bringing in $9.67m with a $11.57m total for the drama. The shlock fare of the weekend had less than stellar results, with Apollo 18 grabbing just $8.7m for third place, with Shark Night 3D just behind with $8.64m
Rise of the Planet of the Apes continues its excellent run, just crossing the $160m mark. Colombiana only dropped 28.9% after a disappointing first weekend with a total of $21.96m.

“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact that impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.
September is the start of the film festival season. Unsurprisingly, while Toronto, Venice, and New York debut the flicks we’ve been waiting all year to see, the box office decides to finally give the public a glimpse at what’s been making the rounds since last September. There are also some bigger studio works on the way and almost all are sadly lacking on marketing aesthetic. It’s a better month for posters than the last, but bad still reigns supreme. Hopefully the upcoming Oscar season...

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers? Imaginary Forces Trailer Getting sent an unsolicited trailer is tricky. Sure, every week I ask for them (send them directly to Christopher_Stipp@yahoo.com...

How did Sophia Coppola not direct this movie? This is the trailer for Tanner Hall which is presumably about a bunch of boarding school girls growing up and finding out that love, life, and lust are very complicated things. I would say it's also about how all teenage girls are impossibly attractive, get in fights with each other, have lesbian experiences, and screw older married men. It's Like They Read My Diary.

It's always cool to watch when little indie flick can't get a single sniff from a distributor due to it's virtually unknown cast. Then somebody in it breaks out and lands a major film or two, and suddenly every low budget movie they were ever a part of is dusted off the shelf and thrown into theaters. Such is the case with Tanner Hall, which completed more than two years ago by directors...

'Project Nim,' 'Tabloid,' 'The Raven,' 'There Be Dragons' & 'Tanner Hall' All Picked Up In Busy Week Of Acquisitions The attitude coming out of Sundance this year is overwhelmingly positive, with many critics already swooning over quirky films like Miranda July’s “The Future” and Elizabeth Olsen’s performance in Sean Durkin’s “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” But though there’s been a lot of praise during the first three days of the indie festival, the first film to truly wow viewers (and buyers, apparently) is Drake Doremus’ “Like Crazy,” a film about long-distance lovers trying to make it through. It’s apparently so wonderful…...

Indie Roundup is your guide to what's new and upcoming in the wonderful world of independent film. Pictured above: Made in Dagenham, Rivers Wash Over Me, The Lost Son of Havana.
Deals. To get your mind off tax day, why not think about strong British women walking out of a automobile plant in the 1960s to demand equal pay? Made in Dagenham dramatizes the true story, with Rosamund Pike, Sally Hawkins, Miranda Richardson, and Bob Hopkins in starring roles. Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls) directed. Sony Classics has acquired distribution rights, according to our friends at indieWIRE. Release plans have not yet been announced.
A Brooklyn teen moves to rural Alabama and causes a sensation! Or, gets quickly embroiled in domestic turmoil, if you prefer the official wording, in John G. Young's Rivers Wash Over Me, which has been picked up by Strand Releasing. The film will receive a limited release beginning in late May.

“happythankyoumoreplease,” an urban romance about three New York couples and the directorial debut of the “How I Met Your Mother” actor Josh Radnor, was named winner of the audience award at the Gen Art Film Festival on Wednesday in New York. The film took home the same prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Other winners at the festival, which was celebrating its 15th anniversary, were “Tanner Hall” (which won a $10,000 prize for Best Feature), “The Poodle Trainer” (the $5,000 award for Best Short) and “The Hirosaki Pla...

The 2010 film festival season is well underway, and after attending back-to-back monsters like Sundance and SXSW, there's always a huge part of me that looks forward to the Gen Art Film Festival and its simple pitch of seven shorts, seven features and seven parties spread across seven days in New York City. To help spread the word this year, the good folks at Gen Art have put together this tantalizing sneak peek at the films premiering between the nights of April 7th-13th, 2010, and they've handed it over to Cinematical to debut. Why? Because we're cool like that.
I've heard people refer to Gen Art's fest as "the best of the fests" since they usually program films that were very successful at other festivals; sort of like a highly entertaining playlist featuring some of the films festival audiences liked best this past year. And for their special 15th Annual Gen Art Film Festival,...

One of my favorite films from the 2010 Sundance Film Festival will kick off one of my favorite film festivals of the year, as Gen Art has just unveiled the lineup for their 15th annual film festival, which will run in New York City from April 7th-13th. Sundance fav (and audience award winner) HappyThankYouMorePlease will open this year's festival, which is looking to make a big splash in the Big Apple in honor of its 15th anniversary.
Also screening the fest this year -- which boasts a pretty enticing (from a festgoer's perspective) lineup of 7 film premieres and 7 parties in 7 days -- Adrian Grenier's (Entourage) excellent doc Teenage Paparazzo (which was another buzzed-about Sundance title), Sebastian Gutierrez's Elektra Luxx, Tanner Hall, Waiting for Forever, Scott Caan's Mercy and the Slamdance audience award winner, The Wild Hunt. All seven of these films will be enjoying their New York premieres at the festival,...

I can't help but immediately follow my post on Tanner Hall with Jordan Scott's Cracks. Both films prominently feature lead female actors. Both films explore different relationships, sexuality and coming-of-age. While Tanner Hall features younger actresses, Cracks features an impressive list of up and coming talents - Eva Green, Juno Temple, Maria Valverde and Imogen Poots.
- - -
- - - Screen Daily's Mike Goodridge wrote an extensive profile of the film and said:
The film follows a group of girls at the school all in the thrall of free-thinking and glamorous young teacher Miss G (Eva Green) who encourages them to indulge their desires, flout the establishment and, suggesting a world of adventures in her own past, pursue a life of independence and travel. She teaches them diving at the nearby lake, and the group composes the school dive team, not that they ever compete with other schools.

My comments on the film selection and the festival's new initiatives follow below. The hot links connect the reader directly to the online catalog of Toronto International Film Festival which will be September 10-17 and will screen 273 features. Last year it screened 249. 242 are world, international or North American premieres, and 71 are first features.
First off, my thanks go to the Toronto International Film Festival for the new City To City Section's selection of Tel Aviv which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Ten films have just been announced and there will be a public forum for filmmakers and thinkers from Tel Aviv and Toronto.
I do more than hope that we will not see the "Ken Loach experience" of Edinburgh and Melbourne repeat itself in uglier colors reminding us that September 11, 2001 happened in Toronto as it did everywhere else in the world. “The Ken Loach experience” happened when Ken Loach...
