Pictures


Picture Gallery of the Week:
Funny People

Can Judd Apatow save the blockbuster drama? I’m talking about the heyday
of James L. Brooks (Broadcast News, Terms of Endearment), comedic dramas
about people that garner Oscar nominations AND make over $100 million at the
box office. It’s a long shot: the last movie to do so was Brooks’s As Good
as it Gets
in 1997, while the lukewarm critical to Funny People is working
against its favor (The 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up both made over $100
million, but they were Certified Fresh). Hey, at least Apatow didn’t lose any
friends making the movie, judging from these pictures.

Poster of the Week:

Ninja
Assassin

The mild gray credits block and white background allow everything else to
jump from the poster: the figure decked out in black, the bloodstains, the
weapon. Showing only half of the Rain’s face makes it feel chaotic. A
perfect slice of pop art, fitting for a movie advertised as a throwback to
violent 80s action flicks.

Video of the Week:


TRON Legacy VFX footage

A sequel to TRON’s been a long time coming, in several ways.
Here’s one of them: this VFX test footage was shown as a surprise at last
year’s Comic-Con and only now it’s become available online. But it’s been
worth the wait: the action is crisp, well-shot, and utterly enticing. And
this coming from a guy who doesn’t even like the original.
Watch the video.
