Assicuro che metterne dieci, i primi dieci, in ordine é stata una fatica vera. Mettere i secondi dieci anche, non é stato un anno eccelso ma insomma, la qualità media é stata alta. Di alcuni, non tutti, ne ho scritto da queste parti. Se vi interessasse sapere il parere "a stelline" (di tutti gli altri film, anche quelli non nominati) invece potete andare sul mio profilo Mubi . Lì le metto il giorno stesso e per quello che mi riguarda é forse il migliore social network a tema in circolazione. Partendo dall'inizio e dalla coda: The [...]

And the good news for her is that things look like they're going to get even better. 26 year old, Mulligan , currently stars in Nic olas Winding Refn's ultra cool stunt driver flick, Drive with Ryan Gosling and has starred in a string of successful films over the past [...]

Filed under: News , Movies Douglas R. Gilbert Dave Van Ronk was a pivotal figure in the early folk explosion of the '60s in New York's Greenwich Village, and his rise to fame is precisely the kind of stuff the Coen Brothers want to write about. Rolling Stone reports that Joel and Ethan Coen's newest project, 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' will be loosely based on the life of Van Ronk. [...]

In a Q&A with Noah Baumbach earlier this month, Joel and Ethan Coen revealed that they’ve been working on a new script for a music-related film featuring songs “pretty much all performed live” on a “single instrument.” The pair kept further details a bit cryptic in that discussion, but now the L.A. Times have been tipped off with an intriguing update on the project: The Mayor of MacDougal Street , a posthumously published memoir by legendary folk singer Dave Van Ronk that revisits the historic 1960s Greenwich Village scene he helped [...]

The LA Times sits down for a roundtable discussion with directors David Fincher, Ethan Coen, Ben Affleck, Tom Hooper, Darren Aronofsky, and Lisa Cholodenko.  Three of these directors - Fincher, Coen and Aronofsky - are my favorite working directors. Aronofsky: I think it's a myth that you [get] exactly what you have in mind. You're in three dimensions with weather, atmosphere, technology that has limitations, time that has limitations. And you don't want to control an actor to that extent because it'll just suck the life out [...]

starring: Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Hailee Steinfeld, Barry Pepper directed by: Joel & Ethan Coen MPAA: Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of western violence including disturbing images. Joel and Ethan Coen continue their career-long appraisal and reinvention of cinematic Americana with True Grit, a damn-near-perfect adaptation of the 1968 novel by Charles [...]

Coen Brothers Unveil True Grit Trailer (Feat. Mosie Lister Song) While Joel and Ethan Coen’s last three films, No Country for Old Men , Burn After Reading , and A Serious Man , were among my favorite cinematic experiences of the past 5 years, they all fell short on notable musical moments (aside from the Fugs’ “Cia Man” of course, which appeared in BAR ). Well, the trailer for their latest, Jeff Bridges-starring film True Grit , was unleashed today ( via the Playlist ), and perhaps we have [...]

You just so happen to be reading the blog of one of the biggest Coen brothers fans of all time. They have done no wrong by me by crafting some of the most intelligent films ever made ( Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, The Hudsucker Proxy, No Country For Old Men, etc. ) - that is why I don't doubt for a second that their newest film, Burn After Reading (starring John Malkovich, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt) , will impress those who enjoy [...]
