Looking for a genuinely heart-pounding, inventive blockbuster for your summer movie-watching schedule? Consider something classic: Tom Tykwer’s clever 1999 thriller “Run Lola Run.” In celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary, Sony Pictures Classics announced Friday that they will reissue the film in theaters on June 7, timed to coincide with the film’s original U.S. release. The anniversary reissue will feature a new Dcp from the 4K restoration, “created in collaboration with the filmmakers.”
Written and directed by Tykwer, “Run Lola Run” was a breakout smash hit for both the filmmaker and his star Franka Potente. Per today’s announcement, at the time of its original release, the film was “hailed for its experimental structure, propulsive techno score, and Potente’s fierce performance as the titular, flame-haired heroine.” IndieWire’s review from 1999 hailed its “clever, wholly unique narrative concept” which “instantly makes it one of the more original, unpretentious...

As Martin Scorsese once said, “Music and cinema fit together naturally. Because there’s a kind of intrinsic musicality to the way moving images work when they’re put together. It’s been said that cinema and music are very close as art forms, and I think that’s true.” Indeed, the right piece of music–whether it’s an original score or a carefully selected song–can do wonders for a sequence, and today we’re looking at the 25+ films that best expressed this notion this year.
From seasoned composers to accomplished musicians, as well as a smattering of soundtracks, each musical example perfectly transported us to the world of the film. Check out our rundown of the top 25, which includes streams to each soundtrack in full.

Ahead of the much-anticipated Dec. 22 arrival of The Matrix Resurrections, as well as the release of the sequel’s soundtrack next week, Rolling Stone is premiering “Neo and Trinity Theme” from the film’s score.
The “Exomorph Remix” of the theme was made by Johnny Kilmek and Tom Tykwer, the co-composers of The Matrix Resurrections score; the Oscar-nominated duo of electronica musician Klimek and Run Lola Run director/composer Tykwer have worked together for over 20 years, dating back to the latter’s 1997 film Winter Sleepers.

Are you ready to enter the Matrix again? From visionary filmmaker Lana Wachowski comes “The Matrix Resurrections,” the long-awaited fourth film in the groundbreaking franchise that redefined a genre. Set to release on December 22nd worldwide, the new film reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the iconic roles they made famous, Neo and Trinity.
In “The Matrix Resurrections,” return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. And if Thomas…Neo…has learned anything, it’s that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of—or into—the Matrix. Of course, Neo already knows what he has to do. But what he doesn’t yet know is the Matrix is stronger,...

A new trailer for “The Matrix Resurrections” has landed, bringing with it more eye-popping action sequences and more questions about Lana Wachowski’s big return to the iconic action franchise. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are back as franchise protagonists Neo and Trinity, but the characters no longer remember each other following the events of the original “Matrix” trilogy. Franchise newcomer Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Morpheus, but he’s not Lawrence Fishburne’s iteration of the character that fans love.
“I think what the script provided was a new narrative and some new opportunities that did make room within the Matrix universe for a new Morpheus,” Abdul-Mateen II teased to Entertainment Weekly in October. “I play a character who’s definitely aware of the history of the Matrix [and] the history of Morpheus. This character is on a journey of self-discovery. There’s a lot in our story that’s about growth,...

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a first teaser poster along with the website for The Matrix Resurrections, prior to the first big trailer release this Thursday. In the original movie, Neo (Keanu Reeves) was told by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne): “You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill…you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Neo chooses the red pill and joins the rebellion.

Berlin — Described as continental Europe’s most expensive show ever, epic crime drama “Babylon Berlin” will bow on Sky’s streaming service on Jan. 24, now set in 1929, with a new murder mystery, based on “The Silent Death”, the second novel in Volker Kutscher’s trilogy, though the same intent: To trace with large artistic ambition yet historical accuracy the origins of Nazism.
A world premiere on Dec. 16 hinted, with its creators’ and cast comments, at what’s new, and the series’ growing relevance to the present day.
Produced again by Berlin-based X Filme Creative Pool, pan-European pay TV giant Sky, German public network Ard Degeto and Munich-based production-sales house Beta Film, Season 3 follows police Inspector Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) and flapper clerk Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries) as they investigate a murder on a film set.

In the years since hanging up his quidditch broom, Daniel Radcliffe has blazed a surprisingly adventurous trail, devoting himself to risky projects that stray far from the beaten path, some of them quite literally. For the second time in the last 18 months, the former “Harry Potter” star has wandered off into the wilderness, following the miraculously inventive “Swiss Army Man” with a true-life survival story about a restless Israeli kid who wound up stranded by himself in an uncharted stretch of the Amazon. And while “Jungle” glaringly lacks the flair and depth of feeling that defined Radcliffe’s previous stroll through the great outdoors, it’s somehow even more disgusting than “Swiss Army Man,” a movie in which the actor plays a corpse whose farts are so explosive that they propel his body across the surface of the ocean like a jet ski.

Usually when the Middle East shows up in modern films it’s the setting for dramas and thrillers. The troubled global “hot spot” has been the backdrop for “based on a true story” tales of the military with American Sniper and one of the first flicks to be released this year, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi. So it’s surprising that this region has been the setting for two comedies this year (Salmon Fishing In The Yeman tested the waters five years ago). And one big source of the humor is the culture clash when Americans arrive there. It’s the old “fish out of water” recipe for laughs. A couple of months ago, it was Tina Fey butting heads in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. And now arriving in Saudi Arabia is the affable everyman (really every-American-man) Tom Hanks, an actor familiar with that comedy trope, going back thirty years...

Kriv Stenders' Kill Me Three Times may well have had a .boisterously enthusiastic reception. at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere, as The Sydney Morning Herald reported last week.
However the critics in Toronto were far from unanimous in their judgments on the comedy-thriller that stars Simon Pegg as an assassin who encounters a group of increasingly violent locals who carry their own dark secrets.
Sullivan Stapleton, Teresa Palmer, Callan Mulvey, Luke Hemsworth, Alice Braga and Bryan Brown co-star in the film scripted by James McFarland and produced by Laurence Malkin, Share Stallings, Tania Chambers. EOne, which will release the film in Australia next year, hasn.t revealed the launch date.
The pro- camp saw a very funny, cleverly plotted and crowd-pleasing film that subverts expectations.
The anti- brigade saw a mediocre, derivative crime potboiler.
Stenders and Chambers understandably are keen to stress the Tiff audiences. reactions and the positive reviews.

At some point during "I, Frankenstein's" seemingly endless runtime, the monster, now renamed Adam and sporting the chiseled good looks of "Dark Knight" actor Aaron Eckhart, remarks, somewhat offhandedly, that he's made up of "a dozen used parts from eight different corpses." Now, like a lot of the hooey in "I, Frankenstein," this is never explained (seriously, never), but it was enough to get us thinking about the different parts and pieces that make up "I, Frankenstein," because, for all of its talk about being a bold reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's classic tale, it feels more like a hodgepodge of various influences, references, and sometimes outright theft.
In "I, Frankenstein," the creature is forced to team up with a plucky, gorgeous scientist (Yvonne Strahovski from TV's "Chuck") and a bunch of grumpy gargoyles (led by Miranda Otto and including handsome blank Jai Courtney) to stop an evil billionaire...

What do John Carter and Maniac have in common? Unlikely male heroes, wooden supporting cast and spring release dates aside, they both have excellent scores.
In fact, February/March is fast becoming my favourite time of year for unexpected film music treats. 2012 gave us Michael Giacchino’s epic sci-fi score to John Carter, Mark Mothersbaugh’s fun 21 Jump St, the charming Hunky Dory, and Jónsi’s (of Sigur Ros) lovely We Bought A Zoo. Here are some scores that you might not have noticed this year, which are all worth a listen.
Maniac – Rob
Who is the mysterious composer "Rob"? No one really knows. Does he have a wife? Is he a she and is "Rob" actually short for "Roberta"? Perhaps...

Cloud Atlas
Stars: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon, James D’Arcy, Doona Bae | Written and Directed by Andy & Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer
The technology that exists in filmmaking today makes the term an ‘unfilmable novel’ practically redundant, however some do provide a greater challenge than others. David Mitchell’s genre crossing, multi-narrative book, covering past eras and times to come is nothing short of an epic, and a big screen adaptation couldn’t be either. The Wachowskis, most famous for making The Matrix Trilogy, team up with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, The International) to make this incredibly ambitious piece of cinema.
Tykwer was meant to direct Cloud Atlas alone, but at some point during development, and working with the Wachowskis on the screenplay, they decided to co-direct, and whatever the reason, it seems to have only benefitted the film.

The sequel to Australia’s highest grossing R-rated film ever has started production in South Australia after long delays.
Wolf Creek 2 has begun principal photography, again helmed by writer-director-producer Greg Mclean.
It will be a welcome relief to Mclean after the film struggled to get off the ground due to financing issues. In 2011 private investor Geoffrey Edelsten agreed to $5m investment but was later accused of failing to honour his commitment.
In a counter-suit, Edelsten claimed he was misled into being the major private investor.
The film was back on track by September but Edelsten has not returned as an investor in the project.
However the film does see the return of notorious pig hunter Mick Taylor played by John Jarrett, currently seen in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

The sequel comes seven years after the original horror feature hit screens internationally and enjoyed great commercial success, despite mixed reviews. Directed by Greg Mclean, written by Mclean and Aaron Sterns, and produced by Helen Leake (Swerve, Black and White, Heavens Burning), Greg Mclean and Steve Topic (Crawlspace), the sequel, with the exception of Jarratt, features a brand new cast of exciting Australian talent. .It.s really exciting to work with John Jarratt once more to delve deeper into the fascinating character of Mick Taylor. We.ve assembled a phenomenal cast and crew who are all working incredibly hard to deliver an even more thrilling ride than the first movie. It.s bigger, badder and should be a wild experience for audiences all over the world., said Mclean.

The 2012 RopeofSilicon Movie Awards 2012 was a curious year for movies. To look at a year in movies at a glance we often turn straight to blockbusters and in the case of 2012 it may seem as if it really wasn't that great a year. Then you begin to drill down deeper and even films that divided the audience created large amounts of discussions, and beyond blockbusters there were plenty of middle ground to small-budget indie features that were quite powerful. As far as discussion pieces go, here on RopeofSilicon a lot of time was dedicated to divisive films as The Grey, Prometheus and Looper. A conversation involving the ending of The Grey was quite popular, I posed theories on Looper's theme more than once, the Zero Dark Thirty torture controversy was annoying, but necessary and the movie that probably generated the most conversation was Prometheus, of which I wrote a massive six-page exploratory article.

It was a big night for Ben Affleck at the Golden Globes last night as he took home awards for Best Drama and Best Director for Argo, which seemed to shock a lot of people (including himself). Les Miserables cleaned up in most of the Comedy/Musical categories as expected, while the acting awards were spread around quite evenly. As for TV, Homeland was the big winner for the Drama category, while HBO's Girls finally dethroned Modern Family on the Comedy side. Argo's win adds an interesting twist to the Oscar race as it didn't seem to be a genuine contender up until now (the Academy didn't even nominate Affleck for Best Director). However, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln came away empty-handed with the exception of Daniel Day-Lewis' win for Best Actor, while both Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook also came away with just one acting award each.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were great as the hosts of the 2013 Golden Globe Awards! They had some pretty funny moments, unfortunately Tommy Lee Jones didn't seem amused at anything going on at the Awards that night. That guy looked like he was going to kill someone! Especially during one of my favorite moments in the show that included Will Ferrell and Kristen Wigg presenting the award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
There weren't really that many surprises in the acting categories. As expected, Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway both picked up awards for Les Miserables, and then Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain all took home awards as well. I thought these were all in the bag. As for Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting actor, it was either going to be him or Leonardo DiCaprio. I was rooting for DiCaprio, but I'm fine with Waltz winning.

The 70th annual Golden Globe Awards are being presented live this evening on NBC by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Christoph Waltz took home the night's first prize, winning Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in "Django Unchained."
New hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the evening in high style, with a number of gags that had the crowd in stitches (not literally). Despite leading off by promising they would not be as vicious as former host Ricky Gervais, the duo immediately cracked a joke about "Zero Dark Thirty" director Kathryn Bigelow being an expert on torture thanks to her previous marriage to James Cameron.

There weren't a whole lot of surprises among the movie awards at Sunday's Golden Globes, but the few that arose were shockers. The most shocking surprise was the Globe love for "Argo." Not only did Ben Affleck's third effort behind the camera win an upset in Best Director over veterans Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee, and Quentin Tarantino, but it also won the night's top prize, Best Motion Picture Drama, over such favored films as "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Django Unchained," and "Life of Pi." Granted, "Argo" had been a strong awards contender ever since its release in October. But the true-life spy thriller was upstaged by the other, more recent films in this category, particularly "Lincoln" and "Zdt," which have dominated critics' awards over the last month, not to mention the Oscar nominations last week. Both of those movies were frontrunners for Best Drama and Best Director,...

Could it be that the Golden Globes actually have better taste than the Oscars? After all, Globe voters this year found room for critically lauded performances by Marion Cotillard ("Rust and Bone"), Rachel Weisz ("The Deep Blue Sea"), John Hawkes ("The Sessions") and Richard Gere ("Arbitrage") that the Academy voters overlooked. And the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the group that picks the Globes) had the sense to nominate Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty") and credit the Globes' unique practice of expanding the field by breaking out a separate Comedy/Musical category, as well as the idiosyncratic makeup of the HFPA (a small group of about 100 entertainment journalists, contrasted with the Academy's 6,000 or so movie-industry professionals). The result, however, is a slate that -- this year, at least -- matches up only roughly with the Oscar nominees list, making the predictive value of the Globes more dubious than usual. And vice...

Aside from the Academy Awards, no ceremony has as much pomp and circumstance to it each year than the Golden Globe Awards. While the Golden Globes don’t have the same cultural legacy that the Oscars do, the former is definitely an event that affects the latter at times. Most years, the influence on Oscar is there, but it’s minimal. This year, however, we could be looking at a time when Oscar voters are looking to the Globes more than ever before.
The reason for this added interest is the new timeframe for Academy members to vote. Usually there’s more distance between the Globe nominations and the Oscar nominations, which is not the case here. This makes the Globes a show to look forward to more than is usual.
I’m not going to outright list the things to most look forward to...

We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
Oscar nominations are right around the corner (January 10), so I thought I’d use the opportunity to highlight some people I really hope get nominated. It would be easy to make this an overall list of things I want to happen – basically Les Misérables and Django Unchained for everything (it was a very merry Christmas, indeed) – but I wanted to narrow it down a bit more. While there are a lot of Oscar veterans in the running for nominations, I’ll be focusing on some folks who are vying for their first.
Now, to keep it somewhat manageable I’ll only be including people who have some modicum of hope, however slim at this late stage. Take Quvenzhané Wallis from Beasts of the Southern Wild. She still has a real shot, so she might be on here (spoiler alert: she is not...

I have to say that it’s been a particularly great year for film scores. Not only did we see the return of established staples such as John Williams, Danny Elfman, and Thomas Newman, but we were treated to some strong new talent like Dan Romer, Benh Zeitlin and Heather McIntosh. I had a difficult time solidifying this top ten, and an even more impossible time with my top five, of which all could have been my number one. Anyway, enough introduction and here’s my top ten film scores of 2012.
1. Beasts of the Southern Wild (Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin | Cinereach Music)
Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin, also wearing the directorial cap on this picture, teamed up to deliver what I consider to be the best score of the year, brimming with compositions that celebrate the genuine wonder of life while at the same time never losing sight of the...

My 2013 Oscar predictions are almost entirely revealed in all categories. Today I bring you a first look at the Best Original Song and Best Original Score categories with previews and/or full versions of my top five in each category and tomorrow we'll take a look at Best Documentary and Best Foreign Language Film and the race will be on. As for today's reveal, these are two really hard categories to predict. As confident as I may be that 3-4 of my current predictions will end up being nominated, I really can't say I would wager any large sum of money on these predictions at this time and I'm not sure we're going to get much help before the nominations are announced on January 10 to make predicting either of these categories any easier. That said, have a look and a listen and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Megan Fox, Ed Helms and Jessica Alba announced the nominations (yes, yes, I’m talking about the 70 Annual Golden Globes Awards), and I was like – hey, there’s a movie titled Salmon Fishing in the Yemen! Salmon Fishing… Salmon Fishing… Oh, yeah, I remember Blunt and McGregor and their legs in some lake or something like that. But, three nominations for a fisheries expert, wtf? I mean – man, that’s what I call a surprise!
So, it was mostly good. Argo, Django, Pi, Zero, Argo, Django, Pi, Zero… If you ask me, I’m happy to see that Silver Linings Playbook received four nominations, although I guess we’re all confused with that comedy/musical thing part (Cooper is dealing with some serious mental problems, for God’s sake!).
Les Miserables is also doing fine with four nominations, as well as Lincoln, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty who have all scored big.

Argo, Django Unchained, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty lead the pack of films recently nominated for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards! I still have yet to see Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained, but I hear they're amazing films so I can't wait! It's really hard to argue with any of the nominations, these are all great films and TV series. Speaking of which, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, Homeland and The Newsroom got nominations. I think The Newsroom will take home the big awards this year.

It will still be another month before we find out the nominations for next year's Academy Awards, but today the Hollywood Foreign Press Association unveiled its picks for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards... and they fell pretty much in line with expectations. Steven Spielberg's Lincoln led the pack with seven nominations including Best Picture - Drama, while Argo and Django Unchained both earned five each. Zero Dark Thirty was also up for a handful of awards along with Silver Linings Playbook and Les Miserables. Salmon Fishing In The Yemen was one that came out of left field for a lot of people, somehow sneaking in for a nomination under Best Picture - Comedy/Musical. As for snubs, P.T. Anderson's The Master was shut out of Best Picture and Best Director, only picking up nods for acting, while a lot of people also seem pretty peeved that ParaNorman...

With Jessica Alba, Ed Helms and Megan Fox announcing the nominees for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, we thought maybe there would be a few more unconventional choices this year. But alas, there was not a single Magic Mike nomination in sight. Instead, historical fare like Lincoln, Argo and Django Unchained led the pack on the movie side, while Game Change and Homeland took over on TV. With Les Miserables and Silver Linings Playbook dominating the comedy/musical categories, we’re kind of leaving it up to the older ladies of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel — and Jack Black — to make this a less serious occasion. Also, apparently we need to check out Salmon Fishing in Yemen, since that little-seen Ewan McGregor/Emily Blunt flick nabbed a few nods (and we’re trying not to hold Beasts of the Southern Wild’s snub against it). But we are happy that New Girl,...

Each year the Hollywood Foreign Press Association throw out their award nominations for film and television excellence. Each year there is a similar reaction to one or many of the nominations for the awards, the Golden Globes, and here again we have a couple of bizarre choices.
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was not a bad film, but certainly not one of the best of the year. Seeing it rub shoulders with the likes of Django Unchained, which has a couple of interesting nominations including Best Motion Picture – Drama, and Ben Affleck’s Argo seems a little off.
However it’s great to see John Hawkes picking up recognition for his work in The Sessions, Rachel Weisz’s emotionally turbulent turn in The Deep Blue Sea is worthy of a look and gets a nomination.
The awards are often billed as pointers for the Oscars later next year and usually by those running the show.
