Total Recall: Jeff Bridges' Best Movies

We count down the best-reviewed work of the Crazy Heart star.
By Jeff Giles on Wednesday, Feb. 03 2010, 01:43 PM comment114 Comments

Not even a family tree full of dramatic DNA automatically adds up to the kind of talent Jeff Bridges has displayed over the course of his nearly 40-year career. Bridges has gone on to score five Oscar nods -- his most recent nomination, for Crazy Heart, was awarded just this week -- all while assembling one of the more interesting, and critically successful, filmographies in the business. So successful, in fact, that Bridges' top six films all boast Tomatometers above 90 percent -- which is a roundabout way of saying that you can't have a Jeff Bridges Top 10 without leaving out plenty of good stuff -- in the interest of getting the chorus of groans out of the way up front, you won't find The Big Lebowski, Tron, or The Contender here. So what does that leave? Let's spin the dials on the Tomatometer and find out!

Five Favorite Films With Precious' Gabby Sidibe

RT asks the Oscar-nominated star to name five of her precioussses
By Luke Goodsell on Friday, Feb. 05 2010, 06:48 PM Comment35 Comments

For a first-time ever actor, Gabby Sidibe's been thrown directly into the glare of the spotlight: the star of Lee Daniels' critically acclaimed inner city drama Precious has found herself nominated for a host of awards recently, including a Best Actress Oscar alongside such greats as Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep. It could all be a little overwhelming, but when RT caught up with the 26-year-old New Yorker we found her anything but fame-struck; preferring instead to chat about movies and kangaroo fights (well, that's another story). And so it was she got on to the subject of her five favorite movies...

Five Favourite Films with Anika Noni Rose

The Princess and the Frog star shares her picks.
By Joe Utichi on Thursday, Feb. 04 2010, 08:13 AM Comment17 Comments

It's been a busy few years for Anika Noni Rose. After starting her career in the Broadway musical Footloose, she snagged a role as part of the starry ensemble in 2004's Dreamgirls and made the transition to the big screen. Perfect qualifications, then, for her latest role as Disney's newest princess, Tiana, in The Princess and the Frog. Beating out tough competition from Alicia Keyes, Tyra Banks and her Dreamgirls co-star Jennifer Hudson, the 37 year-old actress might be making headlines as Disney's first black princess, but she's also the first Disney princess to record both the speaking and singing parts of her character. Sitting down with RT at Walt Disney Animations Studios' Burbank HQ, Rose shares her five favourite films.

Five Facts About Alice in Wonderland

Exclusive: Burton and his collaborators spill Wonderland's secrets to RT.
By Rosamund Witcher on Wednesday, Feb. 03 2010, 04:23 AM Comment70 Comments

Over the past 20 years, director Tim Burton and his chiseled muse Johnny Depp have proved an extremely fruitful pairing. From the gothic beauty of Edward Scissorhands, through the campy farce of Sleepy Hollow to the eye-popping lunacy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they have given us some of the most memorable movies of recent years. Fans eagerly await their latest collaboration, Alice in Wonderland, in which Depp plays The Mad Hatter opposite newcomer Mia Wasikowska as Alice. RT takes an exclusive look behind the scenes on the film to discover that Tim Burton dislikes motion capture, Mia Wasikowska hates green screen and that making an animated cat is more difficult than you might think...

Oscar Nominee Gabby Sidibe Talks Precious

"It's a little weird," the actress says of all the awards attention
By Luke Goodsell on Tuesday, Feb. 02 2010, 05:12 PM Comment20 Comments

Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe had no aspirations to be an actress before she took on the title role in Lee Daniels' Precious, which might be why her astounding performance felt so real -- and why she's just been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar at this year's Academy Awards. Alongside a potent turn from co-star (and fellow Oscar nominee) Mo'Nique, Sidibe's performance as the pregnant, abused teenager has drawn widespread acclaim from critics and moved many audiences. It's pretty impressive for a first film, and she may soon have a trophy to show for it. With Precious opening theatrically in Australia this week, RT got the chance to talk to the young star about her role, how she landed it, and what all the awards hype means.

25 Movies So Bad They're Unmissable

Horrible! Utterly horrible! And yet, fascinating...
By Michael Adams on Saturday, Jan. 30 2010, 08:30 PM Comment113 Comments

What makes a film so appalling that it transitions from ordinary ineptitude into the sublime; beyond cult status (and all reason) and into that surreal place where you really can't believe what you're watching? RT's regular contributor Michael Adams has a pretty good idea: as part of his new book 'Showgirls, Teen Wolves and Astro Zombies', he spent an entire year seeking out the greatest atrocities cinema has ever unleashed, watching more than 400 bad movies in a quest to to find the worst film ever made. Along the way, he spoke with such bad movie aficionados as John Landis, Joe Dante, Eli Roth, John Waters and the Mystery Science crew, while himself appearing in George Romero's Survival of the Dead. Here then are 25 of his picks for those films that, awful as they may be, you simply cannot turn away from...
