Written by Lupe Haas

Inspired by real life events, "Fair Game" is a drama about the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

Ambassador Joseph Wilson watched his wife's CIA status become compromised after he wrote op-ed columns that accused the Bush Administration of manipulating intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq. Plame Wilson left the CIA in 2005 and she and her husband filed a civil suit against Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Cheney's ex-chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby. While Rove and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage admitted they leaked her agency status to journalists, Libby was convicted of lying to a federal grand jury about his role in compromising her covert status.

Written by Lupe Haas

Oscar® winner Matt Damon ("Good Will Hunting," "Invictus") stars in HEREAFTER directed by Academy Award® winner Clint Eastwood ("Million Dollar Baby," "Unforgiven") from a screenplay by two time Oscar® nominee Peter Morgan ("Frost/Nixon," "The Queen").

In this clip, Bryce Dallas Howard questions Matt Damon's abilities as a medium but he refuses to answer.

"Hereafter" tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cecile de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might--or must--exist in the hereafter.

The film also stars award-winning French actress Cecile de France ("A Secret") as Marie, and twins Frankie and George McLaren. The international cast also includes Jay Mohr ("Street Kings," TV's "Gary Unmarried"), Bryce Dallas Howard ("Eclipse," "Spider-Man 3"), Marthe Keller, Thierry Neuvic and Derek Jacobi.

"Hereafter" is produced by Eastwood, multiple Oscar®-nominated producer Kathleen Kennedy ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Munich," "E.T.") and two-time Oscar® nominee Robert Lorenz ("Letters from Iwo Jima," "Mystic River"). Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore served as executive producers.

Behind the scenes, Eastwood reunited with his longtime collaborators, including director of photography Tom Stern, production designer James J. Murakami, editors Joel Cox and Gary D. Roach, and costume designer Deborah Hopper.

"Hereafter" was filmed entirely on location in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco.

MOVIE REVIEWS AND CLIP: Milla Jovovich Seduces Robert DeNiro in STONE

Last Updated: Tuesday, 12 November 2013 05:56

Written by Lupe Haas

Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Oscar® nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in Stone, a thought-provoking drama directed by John Curran (The Painted Veil, We Don’t Live Here Anymore) and written by Angus MacLachlan (Junebug).

Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich seduces Robert DeNiro and promises not to tell anyone but from this clip, she might be up to something in order to free her husband (Edward Norton) from jail.

As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) as Lucetta, Stone’s sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse. Set against the quiet desperation of an economically ravaged community and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain futures.

Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (The Inconvenient Truth) reminds us that education “statistics” have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying “drop-out factories” and “academic sinkholes,” methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems. However, embracing the belief that good teachers make good schools, and ultimately questioning the role of unions in maintaining the status quo, Guggenheim offers hope by exploring innovative approaches taken by education reformers and charter schools that have—in reshaping the culture—refused to leave their students behind.

Make a pledge to education by watching this film.  Meet a student and someone bettering the school systems in the above movie clip from the documentary.

WAITING FOR SUPERMAN is now playing in select theaters and expanding October 8, 2010.

VIDEO: Victor Crowley Is Back in HATCHET II

Last Updated: Tuesday, 12 November 2013 05:55

Written by Lupe Haas

Victor Crowley, the deformed, swamp delling killer is back in HATCHET II, killing and maming new victims as in this movie clip from the new horror sequel.

Adam Green’s HATCHET II picks up at the exact moment that 2006’s Hatchet ends, wherein the quiet but hot-tempered Marybeth (Danielle Harris) is in a small boat in the Louisiana swamps, screaming for her life as she tries to free herself from the clutches Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). Crowley has murdered Marybeth’s family and other fellow vacationers who had come together on a tourist excursion in the swamplands outside of New Orleans.

Marybeth escapes from Crowley and manages to make it back to civilization, where she once again encounters voodoo shop proprietor Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd), who had helped to arrange Marybeth and company’s earlier, ill-fated tour of the area. To help Marybeth and also serve his own secret agenda, Reverend Zombie recruits a hardened pack of hunters to head back into the swamp to seek revenge on Victor Crowley.

HATCHET II is in theaters October 1, 2010.

THE RETURN OF VICTOR CROWLEY...
A ferociously fun tribute to the old-school slasher movies of the Eighties, the original 2006 Hatchet is one of the decade’s most inspired and entertaining horror films. And just as the Eighties had their signature murderous maniacs--Halloween’s Michael Myers of Haddonfield and Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees of Camp Crystal Lake—Hatchet marked the arrival of the latest and most lethal of the genre’s stalking murderers: Victor Crowley, a crazed backwoods killer stalking the bayous of New Orleans. Armed with his titular chopping tool and an appetite for deliriously demented blood-letting, Victor was created in the mind of filmmaker Adam Green when he was a young boy attending summer sleepaway camp more than two decades ago. “I invented Victor Crowley when I was only eight years old, so twenty or so years later when I got the chance to shoot it, I merely made the type of movie I wanted to see on the big screen again,” says Green.

And at a time when torture-oriented entries and computer-generated special effects were dominating the horror arena, the type of movie Green wanted to see—and ultimately made—eschewed digital effects and sustained torture sequences in favor of old-fashioned prosthetic appliances, blood packs and on-set/incamera
special effects, just like the ones he saw as a fan of slashers back in the Eighties. And injecting a shot of humor was another ingredient that was important to the filmmaker.

To that end, Green underlined the connection to old-school horror by wrangling several of the genre’s most beloved performers for the movie, led by the legendary Kane Hodder, who has portrayed such horror icons as Jason in four Friday the 13th films and Leatherface in Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and Tony Todd (Candyman).

Hatchet, produced by ArieScope Pictures--a film and television production company founded by Green, Hatchet producer Cory Neal, and Hatchet cinematographer Will Barratt--hit the international film festival circuit, received a limited theatrical release in September 2007, and was issued on DVD a few months
later.

And the rest, as mourners hovering over the remains of Victor Crowley’s victims might say, is history, as Hatchet proved to be extremely well-received at horror and fantasy festivals, a healthy earner during its limited theatrical release, and a monstrous hit in its DVD incarnation. It also earned slots in “Top 10
Films of the Year” lists at MTV and Ain’t It Cool News.

And so, of course there was going to be a Hatchet II.

Director M. Night Shyamalan (Sixth Sense, The Last Airbender) brings us DEVIL, a new horror thriller produced by the director of The Last Airbender and Sixth Sense.  Watch a bone chilling clip from the TV spot above.

Five strangers in Philadelphia begin their day with the most commonplace of routines.  They walk into an office tower and enter an elevator.  As they convene into this single place, they are forced to share a confined space with strangers.  Nobody acknowledges anybody else.  They’ll only be together for a few moments.  But what appears to be a random occurrence is anything but coincidental when the car becomes stuck.  Fate has come calling.  Today these strangers will have their secrets revealed, and face a reckoning for their transgressions.

Terrible things begin to happen to each of them, one by one, and suspicion shifts as to who among the five is making it all happen…until they learn the unspeakable truth: one of them is the Devil himself.

Devil is the first installment of The Night Chronicles, a series of terrifying stories conceived by M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN (The Sixth Sense, Signs) that he now turns into movies with up-and-coming filmmakers.  As these talented writers and directors bring Shyamalan’s tales to life, he collaborates with them on new ways to scare us all in The Night Chronicles.
