Last week, we had the Best Foreign Language Film nominees and general category longlists — today, we have the five finalists for their Rising Star Award. Perhaps the most unique category in a […]

‘Welcome to the Rileys’ poster
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:36 am · October 6th, 2010
I haven’t seen “Welcome to the Rileys,” which opened at Sundance earlier this year and was a part of the downward spiraling Apparition stable before being shifted over to Samuel Goldwyn Films. Starring James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart, as well as Melissa Leo (quite busy this year), the film may or may not have an […]

Posted by Guy Lodge · 5:32 am · March 15th, 2010
Fresh off their first Oscar win (Best Costume Design for “The Young Victoria”), fledgling distributor Apparition has picked up a well-regarded Sundance indie that could end up buttressing their 2010 awards campaign for Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life.” “Welcome to the Rileys,” a domestic drama starring James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo as bereaved parents […]

Sweet smell of desperation
Posted by Guy Lodge · 12:12 pm · February 22nd, 2010
It’s almost as if the ratings-hungry Oscarcast producers watched last night’s BAFTA sweep for “The Hurt Locker,” finally accepted they’re going to receive no assistance from the awards, and duly sprung into action. Right on cue comes today’s announcement that Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron will all be presenting on March […]

Posted by Guy Lodge · 5:30 pm · February 1st, 2010
Abbie Cornish may have received less than her due this awards season, but she at least has the consolation of gracing the cover of this year’s Vanity Fair Hollywood issue — that annual measure of the screen’s hottest up-and-comers. She’s joined by surefire nominee Carey Mulligan and teen princess Kristen Stewart, so the magazine’s canny […]

WEEKLY WRAP: BFCA awards, Guilds triple, Rohmer passes
Posted by Guy Lodge · 5:47 am · January 16th, 2010
• As you’ve just heard, “The Hurt Locker” emerged triumphant at the BFCA Critics’ Choice Awards. • Earlier this week, Éric Rohmer, sly giant of New Wave intellectualism, passed away at the age of 89. • That same day, “Avatar,” “The Hangover” and “Star Trek” were among the films nominated by the WGA. • The […]

‘New Moon’ press conference at the Con
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 1:42 pm · July 23rd, 2009
I skipped out on this morning’s “New Moon” press conference, despite the inevitable traffic spike attending would have given us. Those bird’s-eye view photos of the masses, however, have been passed around over and over and over again just a few hours later. Kinda crazy. Anyway, Jeff Wells, attending his first Comic-Con (which is its […]

The press release concerning the debut of the “New Moon” trailer, in part: MySpace Movies is excited to announce the trailer debut for The Twilight Saga: New Moon on Sunday, May 31 at 7:45 […]
