Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

Being cool isn’t always a good thing, Joan

The snarkmeisters over at FILM THREAT have released their annual list of “The Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood,” and lo and behold, there’s a (semi) local name among the usual suspects. Rochelle native Joan Allen clocks in at No. 35 for one movie and one movie only. DEATH RACE.

Here’s what her listing says:

Really, anybody who had anything to do with DEATH RACE deserves to be on the list. Allen on list particularly because – unlike Jason Statham and Tyrese Gibson – she’s been nominated for an Oscar three times and SHOULD KNOW BETTER. We understand the economy is not at its best, so she can be forgiven for going for the quick buck, but still… DEATH RACE!?!

I haven’t seen the movie, but I suspect they’re right.

REVOLUTIONARY ROAD trailer

Here’s a simple, striking trailer for REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, the upcoming drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Nice use of music, and it definitely has a bit of a (probably unintentional) MAD MEN vibe.

Hard to believe it was 11 years ago that those two crazy kids were in TITANIC, isn’t it?
