A promotional trailer has arrived for The Killer Inside Me, the adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel which sees a small town sheriff who slowly allows the psychopathic killer inside him, a part he's been hiding for a very long time, out, and watches his life fall apart around him. Directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Ned Beatty, Bill Pullman, Simon...

I've really been looking forward to footage from Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel The Killer Inside Me. I'm a massive Thompson fan, and adaptations of his novels have about a .500 average. (I'm the guy that doesn't like The Grifters much; I infinitely prefer a movie like Tavernier's Coup de Torchon.) The cast here seems to be on the money -- Casey Affleck as the duplicitous...

The inaugural edition of this trial feature was too easy, so hopefully this one's a touch trickier. In fact, non-Brits may find it impossible (sorry about that). But, knowing my luck, my fellow countrymen are all on my wavelength, so I'm still half-expecting a correct answer straight off the bat... The connected four this week are (left to right, above): Andrea Riseborough , Rory Kinnear , Bill Pullman...

Not many people know that before he was president — at least in “Independence Day” — Bill Pullman was a professor. Fresh from grad school, he taught theater and acting classes at Montana State University in Bozeman. But he was a far cry from the cond...

The revival of David Mamet’s 1992 Oleanna in current production at the Golden Theater stars one of my favorite actors Bill Pullman whose elastic face and frenetic movements are on full display in this theatrical pas de deux with the patrician, cool Julia Stiles. They play John, a professor on the verge of tenure and [...]

We're past this whole "Was the Balloon Boys story a hoax" nonsense. Obviously, it's all bullsh*t. And if you think it might not be bullsh*t, all you have to do is watch this video of the father releasing the g*ddamn balloon to know that it's a hoax. Now that we have that resolved, let's move on to bigger things: Who's going to play who in inevitable upcoming Hollywood biopic...

Like the premise of David Mamet’s “ Oleanna ,” critics of the new Broadway production are divided into their own he-said, she-said camps. Set amid academia during an era of political correctness, Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles portray a not-yet-tenured professor and not-yet-failing student. Misconstrued communication and a sexual accusation amps up to destructive levels by the end....

Im betting Jennifer Lynch will make better movies than Surveilance in her career. I haven't even seen her new Bollywood horror film Hiss but this leaves me looking forward to it. Surveilance is a solid thriller featuring bone chilling performances by Julia Ormond and Bill Pullman. Luckily the extras include a very revealing look at the more than mechanics of making the film, digging deep into the...

If I had to take sides, I'd choose Carol, the "she" in the "he said, she said" drama Oleanna . I saw the provocative David Mamet play performed for the first time on Broadway last week in previews (Baristaville connection: Montclair's Jeffrey Finn is producer) and felt the collective tension in the audience build as Carol transforms from a timid, anxious student, overwhelmed by...

Following is a list of a few movies that you can get using a movie download site. The Night of the Iguana: Trudging story based on Tennessee Williams play.

If you have any interest at all in wine, you should really read some of the several excellent books and articles , or the also excellent documentary, about the 1976 Judgement of Paris . If you have no interest in wine, you probably have no idea what the significant was; but perhaps you'll enjoy a story about the French being hoist on their own petard of arrogance and snobbery. The judgment of Paris,...

Hi people! Have a look at the last Julia Ormond film Surveillance!! and let me know what do you think! http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Surveillance/47187187102 It’s been a hell of a day on the highway. When Federal Officers Elizabeth Anderson (Julia Ormond) and Sam Hallaway (Bill Pullman) arrive at Captain Billing’s office, they have three sets of stories to figure out and a string of vicious murders...
