Weekly Ketchup: Abrams eyes Micronauts, Aykroyd as Yogi Bear by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Nov. 06 2009, 05:01 PM 10 Comments This Week's Ketchup includes news about movies based upon Micronauts, Arabian Nights and The Berenstain Bears, as well as casting news for Sir Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Owen Wilson; and a new movie for the director of Slumdog Millionaire. FRESH DEVELOPMENTS #1 J.J. ABRAMS WANTS TO PLAY WITH YOUR OLD MICRONAUTS TOYS Hot off the success of his reimagining of Star Trek, J.J. Abrams is in negotiations to produce a movie based upon the popular 1970s-1980s Japanese toy franchise Micronauts, which was also a long-running Marvel Comics series. Micronauts was a series of interchangeable science fiction heroes, robots and vehicles (sort of imagine a cross between action figures and LEGO) that collectively told the story of alien warriors in the grip of an intergalactic war. The best part was that they have crashed on the strange world of Earth where they find themselves just the size of little toys. Among the most popular Micronauts figures were Biotron, Microtron, Acroyear and Baron Karza.	Rotten Tomatoes
Friday Harvest: Prince of Persia, The Road, and more! by Alex Vo on Friday, Nov. 06 2009, 02:21 PM 17 Comments Happy Friday Harvest, a weekly round-up of the best pictures, posters, and videos that have become available for viewing/download on Rotten Tomatoes. Each section features the favorite or most interesting item we've added for the week, along with several other new highlights. Enjoy! The Road is finally nearing its end. Countless delays hasn't hurt The Road's considerable buzz, and right now it's pulling a strong mid-80s Tomatometer. This new batch shows off the incredible scenes of decay and destruction, along with images of peace before the world ended. I feel like I'm pretty burnt out on superheroes. But I thought the same on the subject of zombies, but Zombieland was still awesome. There's an upcoming wave of caustic superhero flicks, such as Kick-Ass and Defendor, and here's hoping they execute their high concepts well enough to shake off the genre's stagnancy.	Rotten Tomatoes

Critics Consensus: A Christmas Carol Dazzles But Disappoints by Tim Ryan on Thursday, Nov. 05 2009, 04:03 PM 40 Comments This week at the movies, we've got some modern-day Dickens (Disney's A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman); a button-pushing thriller (The Box, starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden); vanishing Alaskans (The Fourth Kind, starring Milla Jovovich and Elias Koteas); and some psychic soldiers (The Men Who Stare at Goats, starring George Clooney and Jeff Bridges). What do the critics have to say? Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of literature's most haunting morality tales - and one of the most adapted. Critics are largely split on two key aspects of Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture version starring Jim Carrey: whether it honors the, ahem, spirit of Dickens' classic, and whether the motion-capture technology is aesthetically appealing.

John Hurt Talks Harry Potter, Quentin Crisp and Alien - The RT Interview by Joe Utichi on Wednesday, Nov. 04 2009, 08:35 AM 14 Comments John Hurt has been one of Britain's finest acting talents since his career began in the 60s, but it's his roles in films like Alien, Midnight Express and The Elephant Man -- to name a few -- which put him on the international map and for which he's best remembered. At the Dinard Festival of British Film last month to screen An Englishman in New York, a biopic of gay writer Quentin Crisp's time in the Big Apple, Hurt sat down with RT to talk about the film and his wider career, including Alien, Indiana Jones and his upcoming turn in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Total Recall: George Clooney's Best Movies by Jeff Giles on Tuesday, Nov. 03 2009, 04:41 PM 86 Comments If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. We hear it all the time, but George Clooney is living proof that perseverance pays off: Despite the inauspicious beginnings of a career that threatened to pigeonhole him as a Ted McGinley-style supporting player on fading sitcoms, he's risen to the ranks of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, and has appeared in some of the last decade's most critically and commercially successful films. This fall, Clooney surfaces in three major releases: Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, and The Men Who Stare at Goats, opening this weekend. If that kind of star power doesn't deserve the Total Recall treatment, what does?	Rotten Tomatoes

12 Facts About 2012 by Matt Mueller on Monday, Nov. 02 2009, 07:23 AM 130 Comments Did the Mayans really predict, all those centuries ago, that Earth would be visited by planetary apocalypse three years from now? It's open to interpretation -- Roland Emmerich has a gargantuan disaster movie to sell and even he admits the whole 2012 theory is just, "a nice hook for the audience." John Cusack, Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Woody Harrelson and Danny Glover are a few of the stars swept up in Emmerich's latest cataclysmic shocker. Rotten Tomatoes meets the cast and director in Cancun, Mexico - close to the once-throbbing heart of Mayan civilisation -- for a 2012 fact-finding mission.	Rotten Tomatoes
Box Office Guru Wrapup: This Is It Tops Box Office Worldwide by Alex Vo on Sunday, Nov. 01 2009, 04:06 PM 55 Comments Four months after his death, Michael Jackson was the king of the box office as his concert documentary This Is It thrilled fans opening at number one. But with no other new films opening in wide release, and with Halloween dampening ticket sales on Saturday, the Top 20 slumped to its lowest point of 2009 with just $83M. Sony scored its seventh top spot debut of the year with This Is It, a look at preparations the music superstar was making for his sold-out London concerts, which grossed an estimated $21.3M over the weekend and $32.5M over five days since its Wednesday launch. Worldwide, the Kenny Ortega-directed pic grossed an estimated $101M with 68% of the total coming from overseas markets where Jackson's popularity has remained stronger over the years despite his many legal troubles. Domestically, This Is It averaged a solid $6,119 from 3,481 theaters over the Friday-to-Sunday span. The studio has reported that the Jackson pic has broken the all-time record for top-grossing concert film worldwide beating the $71.3M of last year's Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D concert flick. But that's not much of an achievement since very few concert films get wide releases in the first place and even fewer are given massive global launches like This Is It which unspooled on over 15,000 screens worldwide simultaneously. Montana bowed in North America on a Friday in just 683 3D locations (albeit with higher $15 tickets) and grossed $31.1M for a scorching $45,561 average on its way to a $65.3M domestic final representing a whopping 92% of its final global take. Its international release was much more limited.	Rotten Tomatoes

Critics Consensus: This Is It Is Certified Fresh by Tim Ryan on Thursday, Oct. 29 2009, 04:01 PM 47 Comments This week at the movies brings only one wide release: the hotly-anticipated performance documentary Michael Jackson's This Is It, which captures the King of Pop in rehearsals for what was to be a comeback tour. What do the critics have to say? Before its release, it was difficult to escape the notion that Michael Jackson's This Is It was little more than a cynical cash-grab -- an attempt to strike at the wallets of the great star's fans after his death precluded a potentially lucrative concert tour. Such concerns may have been unwarranted, however; now that the film's actually here, the critics say it's an intriguing portrait of the artist at work, and a reminder of Jackson's protean talents, as well as a farewell gift to fans.

Sink Your Teeth Into RT's Best Vampires Movies List! by Tim Ryan on Tuesday, Oct. 27 2009, 04:01 PM Comment How do you explain our collective fascination with vampires? Well, in spite of the terrible curse that they must endure, these undead bloodsuckers have some attributes to which almost anyone can relate -- and sometimes envy. Vampires live forever, but are mostly hated (or at least misunderstood). They are usually sophisticated and seductive, but must prey on the living to survive. With Halloween right around the corner, we at RT thought it was high time to pay tribute to those legions of the undead that have won the critics' approval, from Dracula to Twilight.So put away your mirrors, fix yourself a garlic-free meal, and settle in for our list of the 25 best-reviewed vampire movies of all time!

Exclusive: Coen Brothers Talk True Grit by Chris Tilly on Tuesday, Oct. 27 2009, 08:28 AM 31 Comments With the trades this morning carrying a casting announcement for the Coen brothers adaptation of True Grit, RT decided to go straight to the horses' mouths and ask the siblings about the news and their plans for the story. According to Variety, Jeff Bridges will play U.S. marshal Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne in the original) while Matt Damon is in talks to play the lawman and Josh Brolin is up for the role of the killer. Joel confirmed the story to RT, "Yes, Jeff, Matt and Josh, that's true - something that you read in the trades that actually turns out to be true!"	Rotten Tomatoes
RT on DVD: Ice Age, Battlestar, and Creeps by RT Staff on Monday, Oct. 26 2009, 04:30 PM 20 Comments This week on home video, we've rounded up the usual new releases, but we've also got a lot of independent films that were critically acclaimed but sadly underseen. Then, we've got a reissue of a French classic, a collection of films from a legendary American director, and a couple of sci-fi crowd pleasers. If you're looking for good drama, you don't need huge budgets and larger-than-life stars, and if you need further proof, simply have a look at the highly rated indies on today's list, including Il Divo and Medicine for Melancholy. If that's not your bag, then you might be interested in either Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, or the 15th Anniversary Blu-Ray edition of Stargate. For the kids, we've got Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and for the horror fans, there's Fear(s) of the Dark and Night of the Creeps, both fun in their own ways. Check out the full list!	Rotten Tomatoes
Total Recall: Our Favorite Rock 'n' Roll Movies by RT Staff on Monday, Oct. 26 2009, 03:37 PM 104 Comments Rock music has been a big part of the movies since Blackboard Jungle made Bill Haley a legend in 1955, and although the marriage of the two mediums hasn't always been a happy one (see: Elvis Presley in Harum Scarum and Paul McCartney's Give My Regards to Broad Street -- or better yet, don't), it's also produced some cinematic classics. With Pirate Radio hitting theaters, we thought it would be a good time to share our staff's favorite rock 'n' roll movies -- flicks that will get your toes tapping and your hands strumming the old air guitar. Hey, RT users, what are your faves?	Rotten Tomatoes
Terry Gilliam Talks Doctor Parnassus by Gaynor Flynn on Sunday, Oct. 25 2009, 10:54 PM 15 Comments He's known as Captain Chaos and his productions are notoriously problematic. Brazil (1985) almost never saw the light of day when battles raged over final cut. On The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), Gilliam was almost fired when the budget spiraled out of control. He thought his career was over when The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2000) collapsed six days into shooting after flash floods and the lead actor's herniated disc brought everything to a standstill. But nothing compares to his latest film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, on which his friend and lead actor Heath Ledger was found dead half way through production in January 2008. Here Gilliam talks about fate, losing his friend and why filmmaking is so unreasonable.	Rotten Tomatoes
Box Office Guru Wrap-Up: Theaters Buzz With Paranormal Activity by Gitesh Pandya on Sunday, Oct. 25 2009, 05:01 PM 48 Comments This weekend what looked to be a close race between two major horror films ended up being no contest at all as moviegoers demanding a scare on the final full weekend before Halloween rallied behind the indie sensation Paranormal Activity which rose to number one in its fifth frame brutally punishing the opening for Saw VI which suffered the worst debut ever in the profitable franchise's history. Three other new releases ended up with small chunks of change outside of the top five while the overall marketplace slumped below last year's performance.	Rotten Tomatoes
