A day after learning and announcing that his job at Premiere.com had been eliminated, Glenn Kenny has already set up a new personal blog, free of association with Premiere/Hachette. Well, sort of: the subtitle on the TypePad blog is, currently, “Film writer Glenn Kenny’s own bought-and-paid-for-blog, thank you very goddamn much.” The title-title is Some [...]

Your Blogger is having some computer issues this morning. While I get sorted, check out this blog post from Roger Ebert , in which he ponders the never ending Democratic primary in cinematic terms. “It must have been a species of torture for the anchors at CNN, who seemed caught in a Groundhog Day loop… The [...]

Interesting weekend.
By any previous metric, other than the first Spider-Man, Iron Man will be at $40m or lower, but none of the predictors are near that number and one has the film dropping just 40%, which would be a Spider-Man-like triumph of a second weekend.
On the flip side, tracking has ...

From Linear Reflections:"LR: How did this project come to fruition? If you could, please provide me with a rundown, start to finish, from your involvement.[Bronstein] I decided to make this film after I realized that I didn't want to wait around for other people to make projects. I wanted to make a film about female friendships that dealt with the issues of resentment, hostility and emotional manipulation...

Pierrot le fou (1965) is, unignorably, one of Jean-Luc Godard’s goofiest movies. Just as Jean-Paul Belmondo’s character’s name freely alternates between his real one, Ferdinand, and that of the film’s titular symbol of anarchy, Pierrot—the latter chosen by Anna...

Sad, but not entirely shocking news today, as Warner Bros. announced it would shutter Warner Independent Pictures and Picturehouse. I just wanna say that on a personal level this is sad, especially since I have many friends at both companies... but I also know that this opens up a wealth of talented indie film distribution minds as potential candidates for...

I should be packing right now, but I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the news of the unbelievable demise of both Picturehouse and Warner Independent. I suppose the march of media consolidation moves on, but it's unbelievable to me that such a terrific force in independent cinema is gone. Three cheers to Bob Berney and his team for bringing "La Vie en Rose" to the U.S. and for the Oscar win for Marion Cotillard. Who will be bringing the "Pan's Labyrinth"s and the ...

Warner Bros. President and COO Alan Horn has announced the closure of studio specialty divisions Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures today. The striking news follows the recent move to severely scale back New Line Cinema and incorporate it into the WB studio apparatus, cutting hundreds of jobs at the company. "With New Line now a key part of Warner Bros., we're able to handle films across the entire spectrum of genres and budgets without overlapping production, marketing and d...
