The following movie review is from /Film correspondent Elaine Mak.

The Kite Runner, directed by Marc Forster, follows the story of two childhood friends, Amir and Hassan, as they are torn apart after Amir witnesses the rape of Hassan. This film, based on the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini, begins in Kabul, Afghanistan, with the country on the verge of war. Following the rape incident, upper-class Amir leaves for America with his father, while lower-class Hassan remains in Kabul. Decades later, Amir is persuaded to return to Afghanistan during the Taliban rule to face his past.

Based on the bestselling memoir by Toby Young, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People follows a disillusioned British intellectual named Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York City based Sharps magazine, and he soon becomes the talk of the town. Thus begins Sidney’s descent into success - his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes (Megan Fox) - and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen (Kirsten Dunst), that will either make him or break him.
At 48 seconds in length, the trailer is more [...]

If you’ve read any reviews for Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, than you’ve heard about Jonny Greenwood’s incredible score. Music enthusiasts know Greenwood as z multi-instrumentalist and lead guitarist for Radiohead. Greenwood’s Blood score is everything you might expect it to be. I’m sure the Academy will at least award Greenwood with a nomination.

Update: Nonesuch Radio has also added two more tracks, Future Markets and Open Spaces, Listen to those now at the provided link.

Today I was able to see two of the best movies of 2007 back to back. It’s not the first time I’ve seen either film, so I knew what I was in for.
I first saw Jason Reitman’s Juno at the Toronto Film Festival in September. I called the film “this year’s Little Miss Sunshine” and gushed how the movie was “the best film of the year so far.” And then last month, I had the awesome opportunity to attend the first public advance screening of Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood. I loved the film so much that it made me rethink my previous statement. I left the screening [...]

You watched the trailer, you read the review, and now you have another chance to see Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood.
Live in Los Angeles? Paramount Vantage, Back Stage West, and The Hollywood Reporter are sponsoring a small screening in La La Land on Thursday, November 15th at 7:00pm (Leonard H. Goldenson Theater, 5220 Lankershim Blvd.). The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Anderson and star Daniel Day-Lewis. Admission is free but you must RSVP, call (323) 956-1006. Seating is VERY limited, so if you get on the RSVP list, arrive extremely early.
This is a movie you don’t want to miss. I saw it earlier this week, [...]

I flew back from the junket-filled weekend in Los Angeles to attend a super special screening of Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood at the famous Castro Theater in San Francisco. There were no advance ticket sales, only cash at the door, with the proceeds going to charity. One fan waited in line from 7:30am to see the film, and when I arrived at 5:30pm for the 7:30pm screening, the line was down the street, and around the block, into a parking lot behind the theater.
This event wasn’t open to traditional press, so it was interesting to see all the die hard San Francisco movie press in line with [...]

Last month an early trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood hit the internets, although not many people saw it (probably because it was on and off MySpace within minutes). Paramount Vantage has released a new theatrical trailer for the film, which can be viewed after the jump.
But before you check that out, read some of these glowing quotes from a few early reviews which hit the web this week.

Variety’s Todd McCarthy: “an obsessive, almost microscopically observed study of an extreme sociopath who determinedly destroys his ties to other human beings.”
Icontention.com: “There Will Be Blood might be one of the most fascinating films ever crafted. It is operatic [...]

I’ve said before that Son of Rambow is one of the best movies of the year (read my review here). I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot lately about a bunch of movies, but as the year winds down, you start to gain perspective over the previous year. But to be honest with you, Son of Rambow isn’t actually one of the best films of 2007.
Yes, I lied.
It’s actually one of the best movies of 2008. Paramount Vantage has finally announced a release date for this film which took Sundance by storm. Yes, it first premiered in January 2007 (I don’t know what took so long). Son of [...]

Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood premiered as a super secret film at Fantastic Fest in Austin Texas this week, and most people are calling it the best movie of both the year and Anderson’s career. We weren’t there to see the film itself (you can check out a trailer at this link), so we bring you a gathering of some of the journalists and bloggers who were in attendance.
Harry at Aintitcool: “It is a legendary performance. Iconic and powerful. It is his absolute best work, which is saying something as he has never ever been anything other than great.”
Marjorie Baumgarten at Variety: “Certain to be rewarded with year-end [...]

At the Toronto Film Festival, we had the opportunity to interview Emile Hirsch about his new film Into The Wild. Sean Penn’s new film adaptation is is one of the best movies of 2007 so far. If the movie is in your city this week, go see it (it expands nationwide in the coming weeks).
Question: What do you think Christopher McCandless would think of this film?

Emile Hirsch: I think he’d be pretty excited about it and the effect it could have on people in a positive way. He’s a person from everything I’ve learned, was a person of action who wanted change. He’s a person who studied humanitarian things. [...]

Son of Rambow was probably the biggest hit of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, sparking a record bidding war, which ended with Paramount Vantage taking home the goods. The film was originally set to hit theaters on July 20th 2007, but was pushed back to an unknown 2008 date without reason. Many people speculated that the studio might have wanted to release the film closer to the release of Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo. Who knows if that is true or not. I just caught this gem in Toronto and LOVED LOVED LOVED it.
Director Garth Jennings revealed that the film would hit theaters in April 2008 on Friday night at a [...]

Son of Rambow was one of the most talked about movies at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. But it was one of those films that I was never able to squeeze in to me schedule for one reason or another. Not seeing Rambow is my biggest regret of Sundance 2007.
From Garth Jennings, the director of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, comes a magical movie about friendship and the discovery of filmmaking at a very young age. Will is the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth Brethren family, and is forced to abide by a strict moral code which doesn’t allow him to listen to music or watch movies or [...]
