The Effects of Where the Wild Things Are by Orlando Parfitt on Friday, Dec. 11 2009, 07:41 AM 6 Comments Spike Jonze's eagerly-anticipated adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are was initially supposed to use entirely practical effects, but the director soon realised he'd need more sophisticated computer trickery to bring the seven 'emotionally complex' (i.e. grumpy) Wild Things to life. That's where London's Framestore came in, the effects house needing to seamlessly animate all the monsters without compromising Spike Jonze's naturalistic vision for the project. RT went to visit them this week at their Soho headquarters, where Animation Director Michael Eames and Director of VFX Tim Webber told us how they did it, and shared some exclusive behind-the-scenes shots.

Tomatometer Watch: Will Avatar Live Up To The Hype? by David Chung on Thursday, Dec. 10 2009, 09:45 PM 33 Comments Over ten years after writing and directing Titanic, which went on to become the highest grossing movie of all time, James Cameron reenters big budget feature film creation directing with no shortage of critical and commercial expectations next weekend with the release of sci-fi epic Avatar. Though reviews are just beginning to come in, Cameron certainly knows how to make an entrance, as Avatar has been one of the most talked about films of the year, especially since the release of the film's first clip in November. And after a month-long stretch of supercharged anticipation and rumors, critics' reviews are beginning to carve out the Tomatometer for a film that has already managed to generate its share of early awards buzz. With a strong start from critics and as audience eagerly await the release of the film, the question remains: Will Avatar's Tomatometer live up to its hype?	Rotten Tomatoes

Critics Consensus: Princess, Invictus Are Certified Fresh by Tim Ryan on Thursday, Dec. 10 2009, 04:16 PM 13 Comments This week at the movies, we've got a Southern-fried fairy tale (The Princess and the Frog, with voice work from Anika Noni Rose and Keith David) and inspiration through rugby (Invictus, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon). What do the critics have to say? The Princess and the Frog has gotten plenty of notice for two reasons: it marks Disney's return to traditional cel animation, and it features an African American heroine. However, critics say that it's also a rousing, heart-warming, and likable (though somewhat predictable) movie that works on its own. Sure, Invictus is yet another inspirational sports film, but critics say Clint Eastwood's drama about how sports helped heal South Africa is a strong, well-crafted entry in the genre.	Rotten Tomatoes

Robert Downey Jr. talks Sherlock Holmes & Iron Man 2 - RT Interview by Henri Sordeau on Thursday, Dec. 10 2009, 06:21 AM 19 Comments Robert Downey Jr. can't quite remember why he was on the phone to Guy Ritchie the first time Sherlock Holmes was mentioned, but it was to give him some advice about the trailer for his comic thriller RocknRolla, not to bid for the lead in his $80m Victorian detective caper. But Downey does remember that when the conversation finally swung round that way, Ritchie told him he'd be too old for it anyway. Nevertheless, within weeks of that chat, a press conference was held in the Freemasons Hall in central London, announcing the news that Downey had signed to play the eccentric sleuth. Just over 12 months later, the film is imminent, and what at first looked like stunt casting now appears to be a stroke of crazy genius. Once a cadaverous codger with a deerstalker hat and fogey pipe, Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous literary creation gets a jolt of adrenaline with Downey's firecracker performance, cutting a psychedelic swathe through the fog of Old London Town. He talks exclusively to Rotten Tomatoes about the challenge of playing the most brilliant man there never was...	Rotten Tomatoes

The Gimmicks That Changed Cinema: Part 1 by Michael Adams on Wednesday, Dec. 09 2009, 04:40 PM 34 Comments James Cameron's 'Avatar' is almost here, and if it's anything like the director's been promising-a new way to experience immersive 3-D movies, whatever that mean-then the industry could be about to enter a new phase of technology. So to mark the release of the latest revolution in film technology, we took a look back-way back--at the ones that have come before it. In the first of our two-part series about the technological advances that changed the movie industry forever, we look at the gimmicks that are now part of the standard moviegoing experience. Tomorrow, we look at the ones that weren't so fortunate.	Rotten Tomatoes
Total Recall: Keith David's Best Movies by Jeff Giles on Tuesday, Dec. 08 2009, 03:20 PM 69 Comments You may not know his name, but you almost certainly recognize his face -- and you might even know his voice too: Since the early 1980s, Keith David has been one of the most prolific actors in the business, scoring roles in a dizzying array of films, lending his voice to cartoons and videogames, and even singing when he feels like it. Heck, he even popped up on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood during the 1980s, appearing as Keith the Southwood Carpenter. You've heard of "that guy" status for actors? That's Keith David in a nutshell -- and since you'll be hearing his voice in The Princess and the Frog this weekend, we thought now would be the perfect time to give this ubiquitous thespian the Total Recall treatment!

Help Us Choose the Community Golden Tomato Award by RT Staff on Monday, Dec. 07 2009, 05:10 PM 22 Comments If you're a regular RT reader, then you're probably familiar with our end-of-year Golden Tomato Awards. The long and short of it is that we compile a list of the films released each year and award the ones in various genres that achieved the highest Tomatometer ratings. This year, however, we'll be incorporating a new award; specifically, we'll be including a category for the highest Community-rated film, period. And you know what this means, right? That's right! It means that you will actually have a say in which movie is chosen for the award!

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Harry Potter and Public Enemies by RT Staff on Monday, Dec. 07 2009, 04:18 PM 13 Comments This week on home video, it's all about Harry Potter. The franchise's sixth installment comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray this week, but that's not all. Warner Home Video is also releasing "Ultimate Editions" of the first two films, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which are jampacked with new special features. But if HP and the gang aren't your thang, then there are several other new releases, from Public Enemies to The Cove, a couple of oldies but goodies, a limited edition box set for a popular TV show, and a workout video (yeah, you read that right). Peruse this week's column and see if you'll be picking up any of these choice selections.	Rotten Tomatoes
The Great Directors: Clint Eastwood Will Make Your Day! by RT Staff on Monday, Dec. 07 2009, 04:02 PM Comment As a star, Clint Eastwood is one of cinema's most iconic tough guys. However, it's arguably as a director that he's made a bigger impact on the movies. Since his debut in 1971, Eastwood has never been afraid to take chances, to jump genres, or to take a close look at the moral complexities of being human. And it's not unfair to say that Eastwood has made some of the very best pictures of his career in his August years. His latest, Invictus, starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman, hits theaters this week, and we thought it would be high time to take a closer look at one of contemporary cinema's most enduring, compelling artists.

Five Favorite Films With Avatar's Sam Worthington by Luke Goodsell on Monday, Dec. 07 2009, 03:38 PM 51 Comments Audiences down under have been familiar with Australian actor Sam Worthington for a few years now, but for the rest of the world it's almost as though the guy appeared out of nowhere. This year he's already starred in Terminator Salvation (some critics suggesting he was the best thing about the film), and will soon headline 2010's amped-up remake of Clash of the Titans. Then, of course, there's his pivotal role in arguably 2009's most anticipated film -- James Cameron's 3-D sci-fi epic Avatar. So just how did this little-known actor become the planet's go-to action guy? Maybe it's got something to do with his taste in movies...	Rotten Tomatoes
Exclusive: The World of Where the Wild Things Are by Will Lawrence on Monday, Dec. 07 2009, 05:32 AM 9 Comments It has taken Being John Malkovich and Adaptation director Spike Jonze more than five years to bring Where the Wild Things Are to the big screen. Maurice Sendak, the writer and illustrator of the best-selling children's book (which has sold upward of 20 million copies), identified Jonze as the only man he trusted enough to render his story on film. That story focuses on Max, the boisterous boy in wolf pyjamas who, when sent to his room for bad behaviour, journeys in his imagination and travels to the realm of the Wild Things, a gaggle of hairy monsters who proclaim him king. The book contains only a few hundred words, and yet Jonze has created a full feature film, as wild as the source and as dark and brooding as any ancient fairy tale. The director joins Maurice Sendak and some of his key collaborators to explain exclusively to RT how they shaped the world of Where the Wild Things Are on the big screen.	Rotten Tomatoes
Box Office Guru Wrapup: The Blind Side Takes the Lead by Gitesh Pandya on Sunday, Dec. 06 2009, 05:01 PM 29 Comments This weekend audiences across North America cheered on Sandra Bullock as she defeated all her opponents to clinch the number one spot at the box office with her runaway hit drama The Blind Side which spent the last two weeks in second place. Flip flopping positions, The Twilight Saga: New Moon finished in the runnerup spot while new releases were met with moderate to dismal results. It was typical for the frame as the weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday session always sees huge declines and unimpressive openings from new titles. But overall, the marketplace remained strong with sales up double digits over last year and 2007. Crowd favorite Sandra Bullock scored her second number one of the year with The Blind Side which climbed from second to first place with an estimated $20.4M for a relatively light 49% decline.

Sundance 2010: RT's 10 Most Anticipated Movies by Damon Wise on Friday, Dec. 04 2009, 12:10 PM 41 Comments Five or six years ago, the Sundance Film Festival was more famous for showing dozens of worthy, politically correct movies that instantly disappeared than the odd breakout hits that it spawned, which previously included the likes of The Blair Witch Project, Reservoir Dogs and El Mariachi. Recently, however, the festival has become an excellent launching ground for low-budget movies from across the world, with the 2009 event showcasing the likes of British indie hits Moon and In The Loop and starting the awards momentum for two very different rites of passage movies: An Education and Precious, both tipped for Academy Award/BAFTA success. This year, under the stewardship of new artistic director John Cooper, Sundance shows no sign of slowing down, as its 2010 choices seem to suggest. RT investigates Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds, The Extra Man, Christopher Morris's controversial Four Lions, Joseph Gordon-Levitt starrer Hesher, Howl, Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Inside Me, Jeffrey Blitz's Lucky, Vincenzo Natali's Splice, Sympathy for Delicious and Kristen Stewart's rumoured nude scene in Welcome to the Rileys.

Critics Consensus: Everybody's Fine Is Just OK by Tim Ryan on Thursday, Dec. 03 2009, 04:58 PM 50 Comments This week at the movies, we've got a fractured family (Everybody's Fine, starring Robert De Niro and Drew Barrymore); a sibling rivalry (Brothers, starring Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal); an inside job (Armored, starring Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne); and vampire hilarity (Transylmania, starring Patrick Cavanaugh and James DeBello). What do the critics have to say? Sometimes a film contains such good acting that one is willing to overlook its other faults. One example might be Jim Sheridan's Brothers, a film critics say often works despite being frequently overwrought. Robert De Niro has an intensity and presence that shines through even when he's not playing Travis Bickle/Jake La Motta types. And critics say his measured performance is easily the best thing about Everybody's Fine.	Rotten Tomatoes
