Pete Hammond?s Fast Five review is a masterpiece of quote whoring

When I first saw this week’s TV spots for Fast Five touting meaningless critic recommendations like “an adrenaline-pumping blast that leaves everything else in its dust!”, I thought I detected the distinct stench of our favorite professional shill Pete Hammond — that tinny aroma of mediocre generica. It turns out I was right, but I’m [...]

Great Movie of 2011 #7: OF GODS AND MEN (DES HOMMES ET DES DEAUX)



Of all the categories in the Academy Awards, I think Best Foreign Language Film is the one that has disappointed me the most in the past few years. Some of their choices of winner in recent years ? The Secret In Their Eyes, Departures, Tsotsi ? have been medium quality films that have won at the expense of more deserving nominees. And given that this film, Of Gods And Men didn?t even make the final five, my lack of respect for the small committee (mostly old men) that decide this category is growing.

For this is a superbly constructed film, about a community of monks in Algeria forced to make hard decisions because of a group of terrorists camped out nearby the monastery. It explores the themes of religion and faith without bias or agenda, but simply through observation and facts it makes you think deeply about them. It manages to draw you in to the experience of living in a close closed community like this. And it strikes the heart deeply, with the stoic rationalism of the head monk contrasted with the very human foibles of the other men.

Thus s based on a true story and, without wanting to spoil the movie, I will say that the ending can?t be anything but affecting. This was a great selection for the official French entry into the Oscar race, even if strategically (given the shallowness of the jury) it wasn?t the best chance of winning.

(Other great 2011 movies: Another Year, Black Swan, Never Let Me Go, 127 Hours, Rabbit Hole, Rubber)

'Thor' Star Chris Hemsworth Says There's 'Tension' In 'Avengers'

'You've got big egos on these superheroes,' he tells MTV News.

All of MTV News' recent interactions with Chris Hemsworth, a.k.a. the man about to grace movie screens as the God of Thunder in "Thor," have naturally been very focused on the highly anticipated film and all the nerdy details that come with portraying a comic book superhero.

We love everything "Thor," of course, but since the Norseman will also be appearing in the possibly even more anticipated and mysterious "Avengers" movie, we can't help but pester everyone in the high-profile cast about the film, which just started production.

So when we caught up with Hemsworth recently to expand on our ever-growing database of "Thor" information, we prodded the Aussie for some "Avengers" details. Although he couldn't give us much, he seemed excited that his onscreen brother Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston) will be joining him on set, as well as the potential for a superhero smackdown.

"[It's great] to have my brother there. Even if we don't get along," Hemsworth joked. "[Hiddleston] is fantastic. [He gave] an incredible, incredible performance in the film, and he's going to do the same in this one."

With regard to how all those superheroes will be interacting, particularly Tony Stark, Hemsworth said the environment will be tense.

"There's certainly some tension. You've got big egos on these superheroes," he said. "None of them want to be told what to do or form an alliance with these people who they don't understand anything about," he said. "In the comic books, you see that it's not an easy mix; that's definitely in [the movie]."

When asked if we'll see the ensemble cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Hemsworth and Hiddleston) come to blows, Hemsworth surprised us with an answer in the affirmative.

"Well, you'd want it, wouldn't you? Otherwise, why are we all there? I think it would be safe to say you can expect something like that," he said.

Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."

"Entire Original Cast" Joining This New Terminator Thing

terminator-biehn-hamilton.jpg If you thought Schwarzenegger's plan to return to the crouched, nude state we found him in after Conan the Destroyer was something, wait until you hear this: apparently the whole cast is returning to the Terminator franchise. Latino Review has word from a supposedly legitimate source that the Justin Lin project is being shopped around as Terminator 2012, and it has not just Arnold but the "entire original cast" attached. Right now, it's not clear what exactly "entire original cast" means, but one would imagine Linda Hamilton, Michael Biehn... Bill Paxton and Friends' clothes? Something like that. Because after the last couple missteps, isn't it about time a Terminator film give you the "wow, look how old they got" feeling of a long-forgotten sitcom's made-for-television reunion movie?
