HANNAH MONTANA Tops Box Office

Walt Disney’s Hannah Montana: The Movie soared to the top of the North American box office this weekend with $34 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Directed by Peter Chelsom, the film is based on Disney’s popular television series and stars Miley Cyrus as an energetic teenager who gets to reexamine her hectic life as a famous pop star during a trip to her hometown.

FAST & FURIOUS Races to the Top of the Box Office

Fast & Furious easily outraced its competition at the North American box office this weekend with a stunning $72.5 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Also doing pretty well was DreamWorks Animation’s Monsters vs. Aliens, which took home another $33.5 million for a domestic total of $105.7 million after only two weeks in release.

At No. 3, The Haunting in Connecticut pulled in $9.5 million, reaching a total gross of $37.2 million. [...]

Last week’s winner, Knowing, dropped to third place, collecting [...]

2007 Vancouver Film Critics Winners

The Vancouver Film Critics Circle has picked its 2006 winners, which were announced yesterday.
Among them are Children of Men (above, with Clive Owen) as best film — the second time a North American critics’ group has chosen Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopic drama as the top picture of 2006 (the Central Ohio film critics also went for it) — Cuarón as best director, and veteran Alan Arkin as best supporting actor for his bigoted, drug-addicted, but oh-so-loving grandpa in Little Miss Sunshine.
Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren took best acting honors for, respectively, The Last King of Scotland and The Queen. Cate Blanchett was the best supporting actress for Notes on a Scandal.

In the Canadian film categories, the best picture award went to [...]

CLOSER – Julia Roberts, Jude Law

Closer (2004)
Direction: Mike Nichols
Screenplay: Patrick Marber, from his 1997 play
Cast: Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman
 

 

THE PERFECT DYSFUNCTIONAL DATE MOVIE
Mike Nichols‘ first feature film, an adaptation of Edward Albee’s acclaimed play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, is a harrowing dissection of two married couples whose inner demons are let loose during a night of game playing, drinking, and screaming. That was nearly forty years ago. Fast forward to 2004 and to Nichols’ newest film adaptation of an acclaimed play, Patrick Marber’s Closer, another look at two dysfunctional heterosexual couples, this time in the age of cyberspace and AIDS.
On the surface, not much has changed since 1966: although the action has been stretched out from one night [...]
