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 [...]]]></description>

Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds

Richard Corliss/Mary Corliss in Time:
&#34;&#8230; Inglourious Basterds — first word as in &#34;glower,&#34; second as in &#34;turds&#34; — is an alternative history of World War II from the writer-director of Pulp Fiction, the Palme d&#8217;Or winner 15 years ago. As with all of his recent work — the two Kill Bill movies and Death Proof — Basterds draws portraits of strong women facing down evil men; and in Shoshanna  (Mélanie Laurent) and Third Reich screen star Bridget von Hammersmark  (Diane Kruger) he&#8217;s created two of his fullest female portraits. But Basterds is long and, for the hypercharged auteur, surprisingly wan. It has to be declared a misfire.&#34;

  Merrick Morton/Paramount Pictures
In the London Times, screenwriter Eric Roth discusses &#34;The curious case of the making of Benjamin Button&#34; with Kevin Maher:
&#34;&#8217;In 1922 F.Scott Fitzgerald had a baby girl,&#8217; continues the 63-year-old  Oscar-winner Roth (Forrest Gump). &#8216;And when she was three months old he  wrote a short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.&#8217; The tale, about a  man who was born at 70 and slowly aged backwards towards infancy, reflected  Fitzgerald&#8217;s newly altered views on mortality, Roth says, adding: &#8216;But it  was very broad and whimsical.&#8217; However, the basic idea would eventually  evolve into the story of an 86-year-old man, Benjamin ([Brad] Pitt), who is born as  a wizened homunculus [...]]]></description>

As usual, Hollywood and Anglo-American productions dominate the longlists of the 2009 British Academy of Film and Television Awards. 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon have 14 nominations each, followed by Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, Changeling, and The Dark Knight with 13; Milk and Burn After Reading with 11;  and Doubt, The Wrestler, Mamma Mia!, The Duchess, and In Bruges with 9.
Small British films  managed only a handful of nods: three for Hunger and Happy-Go-Lucky; two for Dean Spanley. Non-English-language films fared just as poorly: five nominations for I&#8217;ve Loved You So Long, three for Waltz with Bashir, [...]]]></description>

Marley &#38; Me  topped the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend with  $24 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
David Frankel’s comedy  starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston easily dominated the competition all  week long, bringing its domestic total to an impressive $106.5 million after  barely two weeks in release.

At No. 2, Adam Sandler’s latest  comedy, Bedtime Stories, picked up another $20.3 million,  reaching a total haul of $85.3 million. In the film, Sandler plays a hotel  handyman whose bedtime stories become true the next day. 

Meanwhile, David Fincher’s The  Curious Case of Benjamin Button picked up $18.4 million in third  place, lifting its cumulative [...]]]></description>

Golden Globe record holder Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! (top) and in Doubt (bottom)

The biggest surprise in the 2008 Golden Globe nominations&#8217; list is that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn&#8217;t dig a spot for Nicole Kidman in Australia (which was totally shut out), especially considering that Kidman&#8217;s former husband Tom Cruise did garner a best supporting actor nod for Tropic Thunder. (Cruise&#8217;s nomination, by the way, elicited laughter from journalists present at the Golden Globes announcement ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Laughter also greeted  James Franco&#8217;s nomination &#8212; not for Milk, mind you, but as best actor in a comedy or musical for Pineapple Express.)
Among  other Golden Globe oddities was the fact that  Milk  [...]]]></description>

Following the announcement of the 2007 Golden Globe nominations early yesterday morning, I watched three entertainment &#34;journalists&#34; discussing the choices of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) as if they meant significantly more than the outcome of good marketing tools. 
In all fairness, the same can be said about nearly every other group, no matter how self-important, that gives out film awards. After all, their choices are usually the result of p.r. and marketing strategies, past or expected box-office  revenues, and personal or professional politics.
That said, those types of biases &#8212; who, when, where is giving out awards to which films and individuals &#8212; are exactly what make those myriad film awards worth reporting. By looking at the choices, [...]]]></description>
