Michael Cera pulls a Bale
First Christian Bale, and now Michael Cera (of the Superbad and Juno fame) although not as delicious as Bale [via]. It is always fun to see celebrities flip out but something tells me, this is the latest tool in seeking publicity via YouTube. Now we know what movie he is shooting, right?

Slumdog Millionaire, the movie I desperately want to see and that isn’t playing in town, is nominated for four Golden Globes – Picture, Director, Screenplay, and Score. A.R. Rehman thus finds himself among the nominees for the first time. The Golden Globes are considered an indicator for the Academy Awards.

The Dark Knight voted best movie ever (at IMDB)
The Dark Knight has been roundly appreciated by critics and audiences. I loved the movie too and given Heath Ledger’s amazing swan song performance probably overshadowed everyone else’s. The movie has zoomed to the top of the IMDB’s Top 250 movies with a rating of 9.5 disrupting The Godfather’s long reign. The Dark Knight is [...]

Picking faults in Wall·E
You know some people are simply itching to criticize when they pick minor faults in an animated movie to write a full-length column. Daniel Engber faults Wall·E for equating obesity with environmental collapse. He chides the movie for making fun of fat people and reminds us that genes have more to do with obesity than [...]

While Bollywood movies are getting shorter and even going to the extent of dropping its trademark song-n-dance routine, Hollywood movies are getting longer.

Beatles-inspired Across the Universe
Sometimes you wonder if your life could have a soundtrack. If you lived in the 60s in the United States, your life could have a soundtrack composed by the Beatles. And what a soundtrack that would make. Across the Universe is such a movie that puts your imagination together with the awesome music of the [...]

Wachowskis’ Speed Racer Stills
Wachowskis’ (of the Matrix trilogy fame) upcoming movie, Speed Racer have its first stills out. As Kottke points out, Susan Sarandon’s claims that this movie required development of new technology and visual effects never seen before in Hollywood might in fact be true. And that’s saying something.

Does Wes Anderson overplay the exotic element?
I was looking forward to watching Wes Anderson’s Darjeeling Limited but a slew of unfavorable reviews put me off. One common complaint regarding Anderson’s movies is – “the clumsy, discomfiting way he stages interactions between white protagonists—typically upper-class elites—and nonwhite foils—typically working class and poor” [via Slate].

P2P robs corn farmers?
The MPAA and RIAA stop-piracy-or- train is getting increasingly ridiculous. Earlier, in order to stop piracy of movies, MPAA has viewed its primary customers as criminals looking upon them as suspects. The only thing that remains is being strip-searched. I am sure given how any violation of privacy or civil liberties is currently allowed by [...]
