Ruth’s Saturday Screech

Animation has been of the highest quality in 2009 and that trend continues with this week’s release 9. While everyone may be harping on about This Is It it’s the Tim Burton produced 9 that we should all be talking about. Before you decide what to watch at the cinema this weeks give our 9 review a read.

Yes there’s more Michael Jackson controversy as a rare home video of the late star has somehow been leaked onto the Internet. Poor Jacko he is more in demand now than he was when he was alive!

Rio Ferdinand was not at the Manchester premier of Dead Man Running last night despite being a producer on the movie. Now I have a couple of questions 1. What the hell does Ferdinand know about filmmaking? And 2 shouldn’t he be concentrating on his little job of playing for Manchester United?

Nine Images

The musical has been majorly popular at the movies in recent year and a whole host of Oscar winners and famous faces team up for Nine.

Nine is the musical re-telling of Federico Fellini’s semi-autobiographical “8 and a half”. It tells the story of Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a world famous film director as he confronts an epic mid-life crisis with both creative and personal problems.

He must balance the many women of his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

The movie sees Daniel Day Lewis return to the big screen for the first time since his Oscar winning turn in There Will Be Blood in 2008.

Take a look at some new images from the movie:

Nowhere Boy Trailer

Last night Nowhere Boy was thrown into the spotlight as it closed the 2009 London Film Festival.

Nowhere Boy, the highly anticipated debut feature from British artist Sam Taylor-Wood, will open across the UK through Icon Film Distribution on 26 December

 Imagine John Lennon’s childhood… Liverpool 1955: a smart and troubled fifteen year-old is hungry for experience. In a family full of secrets, two incredible women clash over John.

Mimi, the buttoned-up aunt who raised him, and Julia, the prodigal mother. Yearning for a normal family, John escapes into rock n’ roll. His fledgling genius finds a kindred spirit in the teenage Paul McCartney.

Just as John begins his new life, tragedy strikes. But a resilient young man finds his voice, and an icon explodes into the world.

Ruth’s Thurdsay Throwdown

The are they aren’t they relationship of 2009 appears to have gone sour after rumours Kristen Stewart has given Robert Pattinson the heave ho. While the pair have never admitted that they are actually together it seems that Mr Pattinson is talking about marriage while Stewart just wants her space… somehow I don’t think he will have trouble finding a girl to fill her shoes.

The fifties was the time of glitz, glamour and proper movie stars, let’s face it those that grace the big screen now aren’t a patch on the like of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Do you have a favourite movie of that time? We took a look at some of the best of the decade.

Leona Lewis claims that she isn’t threatened by last year’s X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke as she is too busy working on her own material. Wouldn’t you just love for Leona to have just one bad word to say about someone? A little hissy fit anything that would make her seem less boring!

It seems brotherly love doesn’t run that deep in the Jonas clan as Nick has dropped his brothers like third period French to work on some solo projects. However the brothers have insisted that they are still together… I give them six months.

Capitalism: A Love Story Trailer

It’s probably fair to say that Michael Moore is quite a controversial filmmaker with the likes of Bowling For Columbine and Sicko under his belt in the last few years.

But he is back with his latest documentary Capitalism: A Love Story.

On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece Roger & Me, Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story returns to the issue he’s been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world).

But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene far wider than Flint, Michigan. From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Michael Moore will once again take filmgoers into uncharted territory.

With both humor and outrage, Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism?

Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings.

Moore takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal…and 14,000 jobs being lost every day.

Not all the Michael Jackson fans are excited about the upcoming release of the movie This Is It. They are calling on all of the King of Pop’s fans to boycott the movie claiming that the star was overworked by promoters… overworked? You are on a different planet pal!

It doesn’t seem twelve months since we kicked off the awards season but that time of year is hear again as The British Independent Film Awards have announced their nominations. And it’s Fish Tank leading the way with 8 nods and Moon just behind with 7.

Madonna claims that she has learnt a lot from Malawi and believes that she was ‘chosen’ to help the poverty stricken country… pass me the vomit bucket have you ever heard anyone so full of their own self importance?

Liam Gallagher doesn’t seemed to bothered that sibling Noel walked out on Oasis later this summer as he has plans to start a new band. The Oasis frontman seems more than happy to continue without his brother, well Noel too has solo plans of his own. Who needs family?
