New Featurette On Ridley Scott's Prometheus!

In the opening minutes of "The Dance of Reality," cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky's first movie in 23 years, he appears onscreen reciting a poem that compares money to blood, Christ and Buddha, then equates death to consciousness and wealth. It's that combination of evocative prose and bizarre associations that define the director's appeal, which stretches back to the glory days of his midnight movie stardom with "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain." While lacking their polished lunacy, "The Dance of Reality" maintains the gonzo spirit of its creator, virtually emerging directly from his psyche. The movie finds Jodorowsky reteaming with French producer Michel Seydoux, with whom the director collaborated on a famously ambitious, uncompleted adaptation of "Dune" (a story told in the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune," premiering at Cannes' Directors Fortnight section alongside the new work). In contrast to that costly endeavor, "The Dance of Reality" is a noticeably small,

After romancing Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the Sundance/Berlinale hit "Don Jon," Julianne Moore is again putting the moves on a much younger co-star (Michael Angarano) in the indie comedy "The English Teacher," currently playing in select theaters and available on VOD.

Phase 4 Films announced today from Cannes that the company has acquired all North American rights to Academy-Award nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker's documentary "The Crash Reel." HBO, who helped to finance the film, will retain U.S. television broadcast rights.

Walker was nominated for an Oscar for for her feature documentary "Waste Land" and for her documentary short "The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom."

It’s not as if Hilton actually did anything to earn all that crap she has in the first place, and she apparently didn’t notice for many weeks that anything was missing! As far as I’m concerned, the envious, Adderall-dosed suburban teens of the Valley can tear down her house with their bare hands and fight over the Gucci scraps. Maybe it’s a juvenile and stupid version of redistributing the wealth, but this is America, a juvenile and stupid country. What can you expect?Continue Reading
