Five Favourite Films with Richard Curtis
Richard Curtis has a plan. "What I've decided is to choose recent films," he explains to RT. "I do think that often people get stuck in always saying the five greatest films of all time, films they saw between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two, because that's when you're forming your opinions. I think I'll talk about modern films, which aren't necessarily the greatest films ever made, but are five great films." The Boat that Rocked is out on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK this week and is soon to hit US cinemas retitled Pirate Radio. Read on to learn about the five films he can't do without.

Five Favourite Films with Gael Garcia Bernal
Gael Garcia Bernal may be Mexico's best known acting export of recent years, having made a powerful debut in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Amores perros in 2000. A year later he co-starred with Diego Luna in Alfonso Cuaron's Y tu mama tambien. After a busy career which has seen him work with the likes of Pedro Almodovar, Michel Gondry and Fernando Meirelles, he reteams with Luna, and a different Cuaron -- Carlos -- for Rudo and Cursi. Of his five favourite films, Bernal had an easier time picking them than his co-star -- and curiously they've both chosen a Disney classic as their first choice.

Michel Gondry "Swedes" His Own Be Kind Rewind Trailer
As if bringing the phrase "sweded" into the lexicon wasn't enough, Be Kind Rewind director Michel Gondry has one-upped himself; he's gone and sweded his own trailer, inserting himself as Jack Black and Mos Def and using his crafty wiles to replicate the most conventional aspect of Hollywood movies: the preview reel.

Michel Gondry on Be Kind Rewind: The RT Interview
When RT writer Sara Schieron met master of whimsy Michel Gondry to talk about his ode to home videos, she never thought the interview itself would become a sort-of "sweded" affair, like the blockbusters co-opted by Jack Black and Co. in Be Kind Rewind.

Four New Faces Join Jack Black's "Rewind"
One percolating project that's really caught my eye is called "Be Kind Rewind," not just because it stars the generally amusing Jack Black, but also because it's being directed by Michel Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine"). And if the star, the director, and the concept weren't interesting enough, the flick is now cobbling together a solid supporting cast.

Trailer Bulletin: Dave Chapelle's Block Party
All I need to hear are the phrases "Dave Chappelle" and "concert," and I already know we're talking about a movie I want to see. Throw some names like Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and director Michel Gondry into the mix and you have an indie flick must-see from the fine folks at Rogue (Universal) Pictures.
