Movie Review: Everybody's Fine (2009)
1 hour ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Robert De Niro in Everybody's Fine
Photo: Miramax Films Directed by Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee), Everybody's Fine is this year's family Christmas film. Unfortunately, it never really becomes anything more than a semi-sweet story, good enough for a weekend rental, not necessarily worthy of your theatrical dollar.
Robert De Niro stars as Frank, a man who's just lost his wife. We first meet him as he is preparing for the arrival of his children for a family get together. Unfortunately, after the wine is purchased and a new barbeque is in place, each of them cancels at the last minute. As a result, he decides if they won't come to him, he'll go to them. Against his doctor's wishes, Frank packs up and leaves his home where he eats alone and his only true joy is his garden and sets out on his cross-country journey.
Each visit offers its own difficulties, »

Everybody’s Fine Review — John’s Take
5 hours ago | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Around 3/4 of the way through Everybody’s Fine — the new dramatic comedy from Kirk Jones that functions as a remake of the Italian film Stanno tutti bene — Robert De Niro’s character Frank Goode has a conversation with a female truck driver as he hitches a ride to visit one of his grown children who have dispersed themselves across the country. The driver acknowledges that she lost her husband to alcoholism, while Goode mentions that he’s “lost” his wife as well.
Actually, Goode has lost everybody important to him. His wife has passed away, and she was the one who the children (played as adults by Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, Austin Lysy and Kate Beckinsale) felt more comfortable communicating with; in her absence, he learns nothing new about his family and almost all threads have been severed. His journey to reacquaint himself with them is motivated by loss and the impending fear of death, »

This Week’s Reject Report is Heavily Armored
5 hours ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Welcome to what looks to be a quiet and subdued weekend here at the Reject Report. We have three movies going into wide release -- Armored, Brothers and Everybody's Fine -- but they aren't exactly blanketing the theaters all over North America. It is sure shaping up as being another showdown between The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Blind Side for the box office title. Looking first at Armored, which rolls out in just under 2,000 locations, we have Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno and Skeet Ulrich starring in a movie which according to their official website, is about a band of officers at an armored transport security firm who "risk their lives when they embark on the ultimate heist... against their own company." There is an audience out there for a movie like this, but I don't think we're looking at a big haul here. I would say this movie would make $8 million. Watch »

Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (December 04, 2009)

It's Like Having 34,000 Kids. And You Better Not Have A Favorite!
In my last Best.Gay.Week.Ever! I included a collage to show the avatars of just a few of our wonderful AfterElton.com readers who make this site such a great, vibrant place. Just a nice way to show my appreciation with no possible repercussions, right?
Wrong! The squabbling between readers started almost immediately along with charges of favoritism and possibly bribes being offered to a certain editor. Honestly, I haven't seen so much arguing since the last Walker family dinner on Brothers & Sisters.
To assuage those hurt feelings and show that I don't have favorites, I've put together an even bigger collage of avatars chosen strictly at random! There are no favorites here! I love all 34,000 Ae readers equally! I swear!
Sadly, one of the most ferocious arguments that broke out over the previous collage was between »

Monthly Movie Preview – December 2009
13 hours ago | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
This is going to be a great month. No matter whether these big and small movies fall flat on their faces or not there’s going to be plenty to choose from – especially for those who want to keep up with important films.
First up is Avatar, one of the biggest gambles of this decade. Will the same kind of crowd that saw The Dark Knight or Transformers multiple times venture to movie theatres to see a 150-minute-long 3-D film that features tall blue creatures? It’s up in the air.
Which reminds me of a few more titles that should be worth checking out, one of them being Jason Reitman’s new film with George Clooney. The drama-comedy about a man who fires people for a living has been getting great buzz from its successful festival runs, with Oscar talk flying around as smoothly as paper airplanes.
But, Up In the Air »

Kate Beckinsale and Zooey Deschanel were tapped to be the faces of Absolut vodka's latest ad campaign. Both actresses look amazing in their shoots, which play with different costumes and guises that match up with a few of the brand's signature cocktails. It's hard to pick which of the playful poses is more fun, but tell us what you think - are you more into Kate or Zooey's ads for Absolut?

Everybody’s Fine Movie Review
15 hours ago | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
There are a variety of interesting thoughts flitting through the background of Everybody's Fine, but I don't think many people will get much more from the film than a kind of mere mention of these thoughts. It's the story about a father (Robert De Niro) who is getting a little older, and a bit rundown in terms of his health. It's also the story about the general family relationship, mainly the relationship with his children (Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, Kate Beckinsale) now that his wife has passed away. Mom was really the one who kept strong ties to the kids, and Dad was fairly content to stay out of the loop. When his plan to bring all the kids home for a visit falls through, he decides to travel the country surprising each of them individually. From New York to Las Vegas, by bus or train, because he isn't supposed to fly, »

Hitting Theaters This Weekend
2 December 2009 3:00 AM, PST | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »
New Moon and The Blind Side have had a choke-hold on the box office for the last two weeks, and although some big names hit the screen this weekend in new releases, I'm betting vampires and a blonde Sandra Bullock will once again earn 1st and 2nd place when Sunday rolls around. December kicks off with an action-packed heist, a widower traveling the country to connect with his kids, and the remake of a 2004 Danish film. Also hitting theaters in limited release is Jason Reitman's latest buzz-worthy offering:

Exclusive: Robert De Niro and Kirk Jones for 'Everybody's Fine'
1 December 2009 9:10 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
For his roles in such '70s and '80s classics as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, Robert De Niro has been revered as the master of Method Acting. But of late he has been more closely associated with animated family fare (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Shark Tale), thrillers that failed to deliver thrills (Hide and Seek and 15 Minutes) and slow plodding dramas (City by the Sea and Men of Honor). Even his recent reunion with Al Pacino in Righteous Kill failed to spark with audiences.
For much of this decade, many De Niro-led films have neither ignited the box office nor drawn critical kudos. But there have been a few notable exceptions. As Frank, the curmudgeonly soon-to-be-father-in-law in Meet the Parents, De Niro struck gold. The sequel, Meet the Fockers, raked in almost $280M in international ticket sales. And What Just Happened? »

Thanks to movies like Moon, Choke and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, actor Sam Rockwell has become famous for his intense -- and idiosyncratic -- roles. With the family drama Everybody's Fine, he takes on something lighter, playing one of four grown children Robert De Niro is seeking to reconnect with. Rockwell talks to AMCtv.com about re-teaming with Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale, and when he's willing to play »

'Terminator Salvation' Blows Up The World, Ben Stiller Spends The Night And More, In The DVD Report For Dec. 1
1 December 2009 8:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Let's get this out of the way right off to bat: I enjoyed "Terminator Salvation." I know I'm sitting in a somewhat lonely circle, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for big, loud robots, cyborgs, whatever you want to call them, and "Salvation" has some jaw-droppingly cool scenes. The film is now hitting store shelves, and leads the DVD Report for Tuesday, December 1.
The studio was taking a gamble when it greenlit a fourth film in the venerable "Terminator" franchise. After a lackluster response to 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," many fans advocated for putting the series to bed, either to breathe or permanently. But away we went with director McG at the helm, and Christian Bale and Anton Yelchin -- two figures with legitimate geek cred -- attached to the budding sequel. The resulting story saw a band of resistance fighters battling to save humanity from the ever-evolving SkyNet. »

Sam Rockwell: The Movieline Interview
30 November 2009 8:40 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Sam Rockwell began 2009 in Sundance's best one-man show, and he'll end it this week in one of Hollywood's higher-octane holiday ensembles. Everybody's Fine features Rockwell as the son of Frank Poole (Robert De Niro), a retired widower who hits the road to visit his grown children scattered throughout the United States. Among them are his married ad-exec daughter in Chicago (Kate Beckinsale), his youngest girl in Vegas (Drew Barrymore), and his musician son (Rockwell) in Denver. By bus, train and plane, Frank reconnects with his kids in a series of surprise visits that brings every last family secret -- some more dire than others -- around for reckoning. (Director Kirk Jones adapted the story from Giuseppe Tornatore's 1990 film Stanno Tutti Bene.) Talking to Movieline recently in New York, Rockwell discussed his Deer Hunter powwow with De Niro, the do's and dont's of acting in a remake and the diminishing returns of text messaging. »

A stripped-down neo-noir with a twist, this feature debut for filmmaker Alex Merkin began as a 2005 short (starring Adrian Grenier, which can be found online here). Grenier didn't return, but Mike Vogel takes his place as Julian, a young man who races to a seedy hotel where his best friend's wayward fiancée (Brittany Murphy) and another man have aroused the suspicions of his pal, who's holed up "across the hall" with a bottle of whiskey and a gun.

American Road Trip: Everybody's Fine
30 November 2009 5:15 AM, PST | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
In Everybody's Fine, the new adaptation of the 1990 Italian classic Stanno tutti bene (which starred Marcello Mastroianni), Frank Goode (Robert De Niro) is a newly-widowed retiree just trying to keep busy: gardening, vacuuming, doctor's appointments, grocery shopping... On a larger scale, he is trying to reconnect with his grown children (Drew Barrymore, Sam Rockwell, and Kate Beckinsale), and when they won't come to visit him, he sets out on a road trip - via Amtrak and Greyhound - traversing the same country across which he strung telephone lines for forty years. Writer/director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine, Nanny McPhee) is a Brit, and though his vision seemed ripe for an American road movie, he knew he had to get the lay of the land before writing the script. Cue the cross-country trip, a la Frank himself: countless buses, trains, and cheap motels later, Jones knew he had found his inspiration. »
Why New Moon's box-office success is good for everyone
30 November 2009 2:06 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Twilight sequel, which held on to the Us box-office crown for a second consecutive week, has given the independent sector a genuine shot in the arm
The winner
New Moon by a whisker. In its second weekend, Summit Entertainment's vampire saga just about held on to the North American box-office crown, thanks to an estimated $42.5m (£25.7m) three-day haul over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that boosted the running total to $230.7m. This was only a few million dollars ahead of Warner Bros' true-life tale The Blind Side, which held firm in second place and delivered $40.1m to propel Sandra Bullock to her second $100m movie of the year after rom-com The Proposal and the fifth of her career (six if you include her voice part in The Prince of Egypt). It's been quite a year for La Bullock.
Still, the weekend belonged once again to New Moon as »

Heitor Dhalia Circles 'April 23' on the Calendar

Looks like April 23 won't be Jérôme Salle's big break into Hollywood filmmaking (though it could be argued that Largo Winch is a very Hollywoodian film from France) but Heitor Dhalia's intro instead. - Looks like April 23 won't be Jérôme Salle's big break into Hollywood filmmaking (though it could be argued that Largo Winch is a very Hollywoodian film from France) but Heitor Dhalia's intro instead.
