When Peter Jackson started to do early test screenings of his eagerly-awaited new film, The Lovely Bones , which opens Friday, he says he was "shocked and surprised" to get a lot of complaints about the level of violence in the PG-13 film. "All the complaints were to do with the death of the villain, played by Stanley Tucci," he explains. "So we had to go back in the editing...

Ryan Reynolds hit the red carpet solo looking dapper in his vest while Brooke Shields stood close to Rosie Perez and Alec Baldwin posed with Richard Kind. Alec recently said he would be retiring from acting in a couple of years , but first he's out to promote It's Complicated out this month. He also...

The two most interesting awards for me: Nods for the low-grossing Hurt Locker and for Best Film Not Playing Near You (for which I was a juror) for Ry Russo-Young's You Wont Miss Me , which I liked a lot at Sundance. The full list of the IFP's indie nods below. The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), the nation’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers, announced today the...

The Lovely Bones is well-positioned, if nothing else, to play spoiler at the Academy Awards. It could be a vote-splitter in a couple categories, although Best Picture and Best Director don't seem to be the ones you hear about. Best Supporting Actor has some legs, though, since Stanley Tucci is about as good as it gets, he's worked with everybody, and has never been in this position before. If nothing...

Trying to come up with an unconventional DVD pick for the Thanksgiving holiday isn't easy. There are of course more obvious modern classics like "Home for the Holidays" or my pick last Thanksgiving, "Pieces of April." But then are started thinking of the traditional symbols of Thanksgiving- great food, family, immigrants in a new land - and realized that "Big Night" celebrates...

It's All In The Drape The London premiere of The Lovely Bones took place last night, and actress Saoirse Ronan was dressed in a gorgeous Burberry drape dress. I love a bit of draping, I'd even call myself a drapeoholic, if such a thing even exists. The draping at the Burberry S/S 2010 show made it one of my favourite spring 2010 collections. You may recognise Saoirse from Atonement , she played the...

The first reviews for Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones are beginning to pour in, and, naturally (for a popular, fan-friendly director like Jackson), there are the raves (Harry Knowles from AICN) and the pans ( Todd McCarthy from Variety ). Just posted this evening over at Variety , McCarthy's review is perhaps the hardest one to swallow. Essentially his biggest problem with the movie were the effects,...

PRINCE Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, attended the Royal Film Performance of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones at a rain-swept, windy Leicester Square on Tuesday night (November 24, 2009). The royal film performance marked the world premiere of Jackson’s movie, which is based on the novel by Alice Sebold, and which focuses on the aftermath of the rape and murder of...

The very final official poster for Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones was just debuted by MySpace. It's essentially a more polished version of the beautiful teaser poster but with Saoirse Ronan standing in clear view and a very creepy Stanley Tucci. I've got to wonder, though, will this actually help sell the film? Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine people walking by this and thinking "oooh,...

A few months back we pored over the trailer for Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Lovely Bones. The film, which stars fifteen-year-old Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon (the murdered main character who narrates the story from heaven), Stanley Tucci as the local pervert/murderer, and Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon as her parents and grandmother, looked promising. It was going to be scored...
