THE FINAL DESTINATION Tops Box Office
New Line Cinema’s The Final Destination slashed its competition at the North American box office, as the horror sequel took the No. 1 spot with a solid $28.3 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The David R. Ellis-directed fourth installment in the popular series delivered a better opening weekend than its predecessors, scoring an average of $9,079 per theater at 3,121 locations. The Final Destination is currently playing in both 3D and standard format.
Last week’s winner, Inglourious Basterds, slipped to No. 2, fending off Rob Zombie’s new entry Halloween II. Starring Brad Pitt (above), Quentin Tarantino’ World War II drama delivered another strong performance at the box office, earning [...]

Cannes 2009: Ken Loach, Ang Lee, Andrea Arnold, Jacques Audiard
Derek Elley on Looking for Eric (above, Ken Loach and Eric Cantona) in Variety:
"… helmer Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty’s ninth feature together is a curious hybrid: Three movies — boilerplate, socially aware Loach; personal fantasy; romantic comedy — wrap around a central core of a hopeless soccer fanatic who’s given a second chance to sort out his life. As in many of Laverty’s scripts, problems of overall tone and character development aren’t solved by Loach’s easygoing direction, though when it works, Eric has many incidental pleasures."

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN Censored on Italian TV
Following a censored broadcast of the multiple-award winning Brokeback Mountain — minus the gay lovemaking scenes — on one of Italy’s public TV channels, Rai Due, Italian gay rights’ groups have demanded that the network’s director, Antonio Marano, explain the channel’s decision to censor the film.
Adding insult to injury, the cuts came days after the Vatican attacked an EU proposal for the UN to formally condemn anti-gay discrimination. (Now, when does the Catholic Boycott begin? Which film festivals will be affected in Catholic states and/or countries?)
"Who had the presumption to think that an adult public could not handle the sight of kissing and intimacy between two men?" inquired Aurelio Mancuso, president of the gay advocacy group Arcigay, which has [...]

2005 National Board of Review Award Winners
The New York-based group National Board of Review has selected George Clooney’s black-and-white biopic-cum-sociopolitical drama Good Night and Good Luck. (above, with Clooney and David Strathairn) as the best film of 2005.
Other winners include best director Ang Lee for critics’ fave Brokeback Mountain; another critics’ fave, Philip Seymour Hoffman, chosen as best actor for Capote; and best actress Felicity Huffman, who plays a pre-op male-to-female transsexual in Transamerica.
The best foreign film was Paradise Now, the story of two Palestinian suicide bombers directed by Hany Abu-Assad; while, inexplicably, leading man Jake Gyllenhaal (above, with Anne Hathaway) won as best supporting actor for his gay rodeo cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.
Perhaps the NBR decided to categorize Gyllenhaal’s Jack Twist as [...]

2005 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award winners: Dec. 10, 2005
Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain (top); Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche in Hidden (bottom). Noticeably absent from the L.A. Critics’ list of winners and runner-ups were King Kong, Munich, Match Point, Batman Begins, Paradise Now, The New World, and Memoirs of a Geisha. “We really did end up not going with anything big,” said Henry Sheehan, president of the L.A. Film Critics Association. “There was some support for King Kong for cinematography and production design, but there was almost nothing for Munich, maybe a couple of acting votes, but very scattered.”
