Not even Moneyball could beat The Lion King 3D at the box office this weekend, as Anthony D'Alessandro reports, but it's for Moneyball that we've got a roundup rolling on and on beyond all reason. IndieWIRE's Peter Knegt notes that "the specialty box office had a clear winner in Weekend," and we've got a roundup on that one as well.
"Wholly unrelated to the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film of the same name, Killer Elite is distinguished by one no-mercy, eye-gouging, testicle-punching brawl, and one whoppingly indifferent screenplay," writes Nick Pinkerton in the Voice. A quick sketch from Time Out Chicago's AA Dowd: Jason Statham "plays an ex-special-ops agent yanked out of retirement when someone kidnaps his mentor (Robert De Niro, in the Liam Neeson role). The guilty party, a deposed dictator with a chip on his shoulder, wants our erstwhile Transporter to knock off a trio of British mercenaries. 'I'm done with killing,...

Nigel Slater goes on the set of Toast, the film of his bestselling memoir, which stars Helena Bonham Carter and will be screened at Christmas by the BBC
You've come at a difficult moment. She's looking very pale now, it's getting near the end." Faye Ward, the producer from Ruby Films warns me as we tiptoe up the back stairs of one of Birmingham's disused Victorian banks and across the empty banking hall. We negotiate the tangle of cables and lights and sit at the monitors. There must be a dozen people crowded around the screens examining everything as if through a microscope: the food, the room, the lighting, the makeup and every strand of hair. As I put my headphones on, a little boy's voice suddenly screams: "I hate you, I hate you, I hope you die." There is a struggle, then his visibly weak mother pulls him to the ground and holds him,...

When Melissa Leo is on stage or you see her in a TV show or film, the project is immediately elevated to a different level. She has an incredible gift of grounding every scene she’s in, making everyone around her better.
If you saw her Oscar nominated performance in last year’s Frozen River, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Need more proof? Check out the first 5 seasons of Homicide, 21 Grams and the upcoming Welcome To The Rileys.
She’s currently starring in HBO’s Treme as attorney Toni Bernette. If you haven’t been watching the show, you are missing some great performances. Not only from Melissa, but John Goodman, Khandi Alexander, Wendell Pierce… the list goes on.
I talked to her while she was on set, filming another HBO project, Mildred Pierce.
