The Weinstein Company is taking a flying leap into the world of animation, announcing today the formation of their brand new animation label “Mizchief,” which will roll out later this summer with the release of their film “Leap!” The company has also announced the second film set to bear the Mizchief label, the Gary Wang and Life Chaser Animation Studios’ feature “The Guardian Brothers.”
Of the news, TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein commented in an official statement, “I named the label Mizchief because that’s how my son pronounces mischief. Animation is a playful new direction for us and I’m thrilled to expand the TWC repertoire into a whole new category of films for our kids to enjoy and for us to enjoy with them. All of these films will share incredible stories that most importantly both inspire and entertain our kids.”

“And now one for all the nostalgics out there. A blast from the past… that beautiful time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner.”
Alfonso Cuarón’s “Children of Men” arrived in theaters on Christmas Day, 2006, and immediately announced itself as the best and bleakest sci-fi movie of the 21st Century. It has also proven to be the most prescient, anticipating a time when Britain has closed its borders, hateful isolationism has taken root, and xenophobia spores out of walled garden across the world. If once this story provided a window into a dark possibility, recent events have warped it into a funhouse mirror that reflects our new reality. “Children of Men” may be set in 2027, but when Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, it suddenly became clear that its time had come.

The best movie culture writing from around the internet-o-sphere. There will be a quiz later. Just leave a tab open for us, will ya? “Sleepaway Camp” — Scott Tobias at The Dissolve celebrates the cult majesty of the horror film footnote perhaps most famous for its shock value. “One of the many great comic sidebars to Sleepaway Camp is Arawak’s cigar-chomping, skirt-chasing, pastel-ensconced leader (Mike Kellin), who frets, after three corpses and counting, that no one will want to send their kids to Camp Arawak anymore. There’s really no end to the strange revelations and bits of business, some of which are foregrounded, and other of which demand repeat viewings.” “Why Mad Men Ended Its Season With a Lie” — Katey Rich at Vanity Fair digs into the all-singing, all-dancing, all-suited sales pitch that the best things in life are free. “Do Filmmakers Ever Change Their Mind About Their Own Documentary?” — Chris Campbell...

The February 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin caught the attention of the country — especially Hollywood. Between Jamie Foxx wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with Martin’s face to major awards shows and Chaka Khan leading a tribute song following the Florida teen’s fatal shooting, celebrities helped keep the tragedy in the headlines.
The tale came to an end late Saturday night, however, with George Zimmerman being proclaimed “not guilty” by a jury of six. Social media was set ablaze by the news, with a multitude of celebs decrying the verdict and the Rev. Al Sharpton posting a statement on Facebook: “The...

The powerful documentary Inequality for All was an unexpected hit at the recent Sundance film festival, arguing that Us capitalism has fatally abandoned the middle classes while making the super-rich richer. Can its star, economist Robert Reich, do for economics what Al Gore did for the environment?
In one sense, Inequality for All is absolutely the film of the moment. We are living through tumultuous times. The economy has tanked. Austerity has cut a swath through the country. We're on the verge of a triple-dip recession. And, in another, parallel universe, a small cohort of alien beings – or as we know them, bankers – are currently engaged in trying to figure out what to spend their multimillion-pound bonuses on. Who wouldn't want to know what's going on? Or how it happened? Or why? Or if it is really true that the next generation down is well and truly shafted?
And yet…...

This year, Michael Moore helped rewrite the rules on which documentaries are eligible for the Academy Awards, and who votes for them. This has resulted in some heated exchanges with other filmmakers, largely because the new rules require a nominated film to have a review in either the New York Times or the L.A. Times. At the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival on April 12, Moore set the record straight about criticisms regarding the new rules. He appeared via Skype in a brown hoodie -- degrading into a pixelated Yoda when the Internet stream slowed -- and explained why he believes the rule changes are (mostly) for the good. #1. Change Is Obviously Needed "If I said to you that Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Woody Allen, none of them have never ever won an Oscar -- that would seem really bizarre wouldn't it?" Moore said. "Now, let me say this: Frederick Wiseman,...

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences officially announced their anticipated rule changes today. The New York Times broke the story this weekend that the Best Documentary process would be receiving an overhaul, which will require all films to get an La Times or NY Times review in order to qualify and will allow the academy to vote on the final five nominees by viewing the films online or on screeners (previously, it was required that those voting must have seen all five films theatrically). The new rules affect the Documentary Feature, Animated Short Film and Live Action Short Film categories.

So apparently not everyone thinks Occupy Wall Street is totally retarded (like myself). After hundreds of arrests took place in lower Manhattan on Saturday when demonstrators blocked the Brooklyn Bridge, a handful of celebrities visited the site and more Tweeted their support.
Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon stopped by, and Moore said to the protestors and reporters, "Change has to start somewhere. Why not here?" He later Tweeted “Wall St is afraid. But we're peaceful ppl. We have other ways 2 stop them.”

Radiohead didn't end up performing at Ows
This is why Ows is a crappy protest
Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right, upcoming in The Avengers) has been Tweeting about the protest for days, and visited the site. “Fighting for liberty, justice and equality are about as American as you can get. Are you really against that?" and “I am witnessing the general assembly @ #OccupyWallSteet.
