| Posted: 05 Nov 2015 10:00 PM PST Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Movie Analysis of the Day: The Onion's review of SPECTRE argues that it's a movie about an alcoholic named James Bond (Daniel Craig) and his sponsor, played by Christoph Waltz: Movie Parody of the Day: Speaking of James Bond, the character's inability to not wreck beautiful cars he's driving is satirized in the following sketch from Daniel Craig's recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (via /Film): Movie Influencer of the Day: Mario Bava gets the spotlight in this video essay from The Film Theorists on how he influenced Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak: Vintage Image of the Day: Screenwriter Melissa Mathison...

| Noomi Rapace to Play Amy Winehouse in a Biopic Posted: 05 Nov 2015 08:30 PM PST Every music icon whose life ended in tragedy is obligated to receive a biopic, so it's not surprising to learn that there's an Amy Winehouse movie in the works. What might be a bit surprising is who they're casting in the role. According to Screen Daily, Subotica Films, which previously produced the Jimi Hendrix biopic Jimi: All Is By My Side, is in talks with Swedish actress Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) to portray the Grammy-winning singer. Interestingly, Rapace is about to turn 36, while Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at age 27. It's not too uncommon for biopics to cast actors of inauthentic ages. At 45, Kevin Spacey played Bobby Darin, who died at age 35, in Beyond the Sea. And until a lawsuit halted its development, a Janis Joplin biopic was set to...

| New 'London Has Fallen' Trailer Is Ridiculous In All the Right Ways Posted: 05 Nov 2015 05:00 PM PST A few months ago we got a teaser trailer for Olympus Has Fallen sequel London Has Fallen that was basically explosions and gunshots and that oddly never showed off Aaron Eckhart or Gerard Butler, who are respectively returning as the President of the United States and his kill-everyone secret service agent. Today we got a new trailer for the movie which puts those explosions and gunshots in to context, and wow. This may be an early contender for most ridiculous action movie of 2016 that we can't wait to see. Here's the setup: Leaders of the world's most powerful nations are all gathering in London for a summit. Terrorists take advantage of this, laying siege to the entire city in the hope that they can capture these leaders and use them as bargaining chips. In...

| New 'The Hateful Eight' Trailer Introduces Us to The Violent Gang Posted: 05 Nov 2015 03:30 PM PST Update 11/5/15: There's a new trailer out for The Hateful Eight, which isn't packed with spoilers or new information, just another look at all the style and scope Tarantino promises to deliver come this Christmas. Previously: This Christmas we'll be getting two gorgeously photographed movies about men fighting for their own survival deep in the snow-covered wilderness. One is the very serious The Revenant, about a man who seeks revenge after being left for dead. The other is the less-serious The Hateful Eight, about a bunch of bounty hunters all teetering on the edge of chaos when they get stuck in the same lodge together. It's basically the Deep Impact and Armageddon of our time. The first trailer for Quentin Tarantino's eighth film has just popped...

| Posted: 05 Nov 2015 02:00 PM PST Elizabeth Banks is on a roll. In May, the actress made her feature directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2, which received good reviews and became a big hit at the box office, earning more than $285 million worldwide. In September, she was reported to be in talks to direct a new version of Charlie's Angels. (That's been confirmed now, with the movie set to be "a big kick-ass action tentpole.") Last week, she was confirmed to direct Pitch Perfect 3, the next installment of the popular series. But that doesn't mean Banks is stepping away from leading roles. She will star in the just announced Rita Hayworth With a Hand Grenade, according to Screen Daily, described as a "prestige adventure drama" about real-life war photographer Caroline Baker, who was...
