I've been dying to get a first glimpse of Gravity ever since the movie was in development and there were all kinds of crazy rumors swirling around it, like it would essentially be a single tracking shot in the vein of that famous scene (original doesn't appear to be on YT) from his excellent Children of Men. According to Gravity executive producer Chris DeFaria, the movie “ opens with a continuous 17-minute shot ” that shows everything we see in this trailer. The movie probably won't be one continuous tracking [...]
Trailer: “Gravity” (dir. Alfonso Cuarón ) Director Alfonso Cuarón is famous for using long, unbroken shots in films like Children of Men but he seems to be taking it to the next level with Gravity which is reportedly filled with long shots including a 17-minute opening scene. We’ve been given a first taste with this trailer which looks thrilling, minimalistic and visually breathtaking, though I’m not completely sold yet on Sandra Bullock in the lead role.

The other day while I was watching the American Film Institute's 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award tribute to Shirley MacLaine, I couldn't get a certain number out of my head. 78! No, that's not the number of times the Universal Channel will probably air the show in Bangkok before finally giving it a rest. It's the number I came up with when a voice over revealed MacLaine's birthday (April 24, 1934) early in the show, and I did the math. How could she possibly be only 78? [...]

I can't believe I'm about to dedicate an entire blog post to defending Tom Cruise , but boy must Showbiz 411 really have it in for him. The website has already run two articles sounding the death knell for Cruise's run as a true box-office draw. The first gong, Roger Friedman's Tom Cruise "Rock of Ages" Box Office May Be Lower than "Valkyrie," "Knight & Day," which ran on Saturday morning, was fair enough. But practically every line of Tom Cruise Has Worst Opening Weekend Ever with Rock of Ages , which ran [...]
I know that criticizing Speed 2, Cruise Control is like shooting fish in a barrel, but I remember as an impressionable youngster going to watch it at a theatre with a sense of excitement. Sure, it would be silly, but it would at least be fun, right? Right? Sadly, the movie was not fun at all. Not only did it begin an irrational and deep-seated resentment of Sandra Bullock that lingers with me to this day, it reinforced that I should be wary of anything calling itself a "sequel." [...]

As much as I love my singing divas and Oscar-winning actresses, I'm not the fanatical fanboy type. I've never seen every single one of anybody's movies, or listened only to the songs of one singer any day of my life. And although I rarely forget important birthdays in real life (thanks to having an excellent memory for such things, and to, well, Facebook -- again), I don't exactly commit to memory the big days of famous people, unless they happen to be turning an age ending in 0. So there's no reason I can think of why [...]

Just when you thought this guy couldn't be a bigger douche. Last night, Jesse James returned to reality TV on a show called American Chopper: The Build-Off . Instead of using the time to build things, he used it to slam Sandra Bullock . "I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn’t talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad. . . I feel obligated to reconnect with all these people and show 'em that I'm still the same fabricator motorcycle guy. I'm not what [...]

Film directors make historical dramas featuring black characters at their own risk. Get the details wrong -- and let's face it, most of them do -- and the criticism pours in. That's entertainment. As a black man, I must come clean: I quite enjoyed The Help . That's not to say I didn't have some problems with it. People who speak ungrammatically -- in movies and in life -- frustrate me, but that's what some people do. Then and now. A couple of years ago, I was watching the daytime soap One Life to Live [...]

This morning I woke up and made a horrible, shocking discovery. I'd slept right through the Emmy Awards ! That amazing scene pictured above (how great does Martha Plimpton look?): I totally missed it! How could that happen? First I miss the Oscars for the first time since 1976 (which happened last year when I was in London as naked gold men were being handed out to Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges and Mo'Nique), and now this. At least I got to watch the AFI Life Achievement Award tribute to Morgan Freeman on TV before going out [...]

"What is incredible about what they did is, they talked to David Fincher , they talked to Jim Cameron, I connected Jim and Alfonso for that. And what Alfonso is trying, is so insane. And Jim said, well, look, you’re about five years into the future…it’s too early to try anything that crazy. And they did it! I think he would kill me if I reveal [what is so crazy about it], and in time it will be publicized, but I think that in the same way that he pushed the narrative in Children of Men…[they] are absolutely pushing a [...]

It was about this time last year when news broke of Jesse James ' infidelity, and the world wept with American sweetheart Sandra Bullock in her time of pain.
