I Love You Phillip Morris Gets Release Date


Finally! Reports have it that Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment have the rights to I Love You Phillip Morris starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Roadside Attractions has set a December 3 release date. For a long while it was thought that this film was never going to see the light of day which is disappointing because Carrey himself said that reading the script for this was like reading Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, he just had to do it. And now we will get to see the fruits of his labor.

I hope this is good, and not a disappointment.

I saw the trailer and this looks great. Wouldn't it be funny if it racked up Oscar nods after being shelved so long? I'm waiting for "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits." That still doesn't have a release date!

I cannot wait for this to get the exposure it truthfully does. Some will probably be taken back by Carrey being gay, but it is one of his overall best performances of all-time.

@CMrok

I figure if people are going to see this film they should expect to see something that might be an affront to them. If you are still offended by gay people now you really are just being a prick.

@C Gonzalez

I doubt this will garner any awards, or nominations for that matter (maybe a Golden Globe for Carrey), so don't get your hopes too high.

The Best of the Decade

Over the last ten years, the cinema has given us a great deal to be thankful for: a rebirth of the Batman franchise, a series of examinations of what it means to live in this particular decade, and a mass of character studies whether they be animated or popcorn thrillers. As much as I have enjoyed the offerings, a list must be culled together for the end of the year. Except this year is different, this year ten films must be selected from hundreds. Below are some of the best of the aughts. Enjoy! 10) There Will Be Blood Paul Thomas Anderson's magnum opus, a scathing look at extremism in America and the evils of greed and profiteering from religion. It also features the best performance of the decade with Daniel Day-Lewis as oil-man Daniel Plainview. 9)  Up A beautiful tale that entrances all ages,  Up managed to captivate children and tell a tale that adults cherish as well. 8) The Dark Knight Maybe just a comic book film, but it is the best comic book film

Paprika vs. Inception

Months before Inception hit the theaters forums were alive with rumors that Christopher Nolan either accidentally or intentionally stole some details from another film, the Japanese anime Paprika. The biggest point of comparison for some bloggers and forum runners was the fact that both of the films featured a device that allowed a person, or people, to travel into another’s dreams and delve into their subconscious. Minor points of comparison include scenes in Paprika where the character Paprika breaks through a mirrored wall by holding her hand to it, as well as a scene where a police detective falls his way down a hallway. Claims have been made that Inception abounds with imagery similar to or exactly like the anime movie, but with the recent release of the film on DVD and Blu-Ray, and with Paprika available for several years now, an examination of the two plots can be made more fully. Let us begin with the primary claim— Inception stole the idea of a dream

Armond White's Top Ten Films on Flickchart

Armond White is film criticism’s most famous contrarian.

He is of split-mind for sure. But what does his Flickchart look like? Read the rest at Flickchart !
