And what does he eat? Megamind Modus Operandi Joseph Kosinski's "Tron: Legacy" steps nimbly over such obstacles Monsters and hits the ground running, in a 3-D sound-and light show that Morning Glory plays to the eyes and ears more than the mind. Among its real-world My Dog Tulip technology is a performance by Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn at two The Next Three Days different ages — now, and 20 years ago. The original "Tron" was Night Catches Us made 28 years ago, but that would have made young Sam Flynn, his Nowhere Boy The Nutcracker in 3D son, nearly 30, which is too old for the hero in a story of this sort. 127 Hours The ideal age would be around 12.

Tiny Furniture Today's Special The Tourist Kevin and Sam reconcile and bond.

Does this symbolize the ways video games can destroy real- Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen life relationships? Just asking. I'm thinking of Quorra and Sam as a Welcome to the Rileys possible romantic couple, but there's the pesky problem that she is White Material virtual, and he bleeds when he's cut — I think, although maybe not Winnebago Man Buy now » inside the program. This brings us back to a central question about more current releases » "Avatar": What or who, precisely, was Neytiri falling in love with? I'm giving this more attention than the movie does, which is just as on dvd well. Isaac Asimov would have attempted some kind of scientific speculation on how this might all be possible, but "Tron" is more new on dvd action-oriented. (Personal to sci-fi fans: If "2001" is Analog, "Tron: Legacy" is Thrilling Wonder Stories.) Dinner for Schmucks (1/4) Catfish (1/4) Buy now » The first "Tron" (1982) felt revolutionary at the time. I'd never seen The American (12/28) anything like it. We showed it again at Ebertfest a few years ago. It Soul Kitchen (12/21) was the first movie to create a digital world and embed human Salt (12/21) actors; always earlier that had been done with special effects, matte Easy A (12/21) shots, optical printers, blue screen and so on. "Tron" found a The Town (12/17) freedom of movement within its virtual world that was exhilarating. Trouble in Mind (12/14) The plot was impenetrable, but so what? Mugabe and the White African (12/14) Mother and Child (12/14) "Tron: Legacy," a sequel made 28 years after the original but with more new on dvd » the same actor, is true to the first film: It also can't be understood, but Buy now» looks great. Both films, made so many years apart, can fairly lay coming on dvd claim to being state of the art. This time that includes the use of 3-D. Since so much of the action involves quick movement forward and Dogtooth (1/26) backward in shots, the 3-D effect is useful, and not just a promiscuous use of the ping-pong effect. It is also well-iterated. (A more coming on dvd » note at the start informs us that parts of the movie were deliberately filmed in 2-D, so of course I removed my glasses to note how much great movies on dvd brighter it was. Dimness is the problem 3-D hasn't licked.) Blade Runner: The Final Cut (9/14) Buy now» A long time ago in 1984, Jeff Bridges appeared as an alien inhabiting The Circus (10/20) a human body in John Carpenter's "Starman." An article in the New Superman (11/4) York Times magazine called him the perfect movie actor. He wasn't Metropolis [2010 Restoration] (11/16) flashy; he was steadily, consistently good. Now that he has won an Red Beard (11/18) Oscar for "Crazy Heart" and is opening soon in "True Grit," that is more great movies on dvd » still true. Here is an actor expected to (1) play himself as a much younger man, (2) play himself now, and (3) play a computer program (or avatar?), and he does all three in a straightforward manner that is effective and convincing (given the preposterous nature of the material). Buy now» Sam (Garrett Hedlund), circa 20, is well-suited to his role, somewhat resembling Bridges. Olivia Wilde makes a fragrant Quorra. In some inexplicable way, these actors and Bruce Boxleitner (Tron) and Michael Sheen (Zuse) plausibly project human emotions in an environment devoid of organic life, including their own. The artificial world is wonderfully well-rendered, building on the earlier film's ability to bring visual excitement to what must in reality, after all, be slim pickings: invisible ones and zeroes. I soon topped off on the thrill of watching Frisbees of light being hurled, but some of the chases and architectural details are effective simply because they use sites and spaces never seen. And the soundtrack by Daft Punk has such urgent electronic force that the visuals sometimes almost play as its accompaniment. It might not be safe to play this soundtrack in the car. The plot is another matter. It's a catastrophe, short-changing the characters and befuddling the audience. No doubt an online guru will produce a synopsis of everything that happens, but this isn't like an opera, where you can peek at the program notes. I expect "Tron: Legacy" to be a phenomenon at the box office for a week or so. It may not have legs, because its appeal is too one- dimensional for an audience much beyond immediate responders. When "2001" was in theaters, there were fans who got stoned and sneaked in during the intermission for the sound-and-light trip. I hesitate to suggest that for "Tron: Legacy," but the plot won't suffer.

  • Full Press Release
    IMTA ALUM GARRETT HEDLUND IN TRIPLE FRONTIER IMTA Press Release March 5, 2019 Triple Frontier opens in limited theatrical release Wednesday, March 6, and begins streaming on Netflix Wednesday, March 13. “Back in Minnesota, one of the only ways you could leave the farm was through sport. That’s why everybody in the Midwest—or at least where I grew up—is a triathlete. We all just wanted to get out. But for me, the way to get out was acting.” — Garrett Hedlund Triple Frontier centers on a group of former Special Forces operatives who reunite to plan a heist in a sparsely populated multi-border zone of South America. For the first time in their prestigious careers these unsung heroes undertake this dangerous mission for self instead of country. While each of them has served the U.S. in multiple operations— and been wounded as a reward—they still don't have the money to put kids in college, so a new plan dangles that money in front of their faces. But when events take an unexpected turn and threaten to spiral out of control, their skills, their loyalties and their morals are pushed to a breaking point in an epic battle for survival. IMTA alum Garrett Hedlund stars in Triple Frontier alongside Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Adria Arjona and Pedro Pascal. The film is directed by Academy Award nominee J.C. Chandor and co-written by Chandor and Academy Award winner Mark Boal. The action feature is set to join the exclusive group of Netflix original films that get a theatrical release in select theaters before premiering on the streaming service.

    life TUESDAY, JULY 27, 2010 [ MEDIA ] Jezebel — the Web site that roared A recent spat over a TV show’s hiring policies could lead to blog requests being taken more seriously BY SARAH HuGHes THE GUARDIAN, NEW YORK alked about on numerous blogs and Web sites, covered by the New York Times, attacked by The Daily Show and T attracting upwards of 38m global page views a month, the women’s Web site Jezebel has clearly come of age. It also needs to be noted that the site has overtaken its infamous sibling, the gossipy Gawker, in terms of notoriety after a public spat with Jon Stewart’s Daily Show. Gaby Darbyshire, Gawker Media’s chief operating officer, told the New York Observer that Jezebel “has received more complaints per year than any other [Gawker media] site,” while Gawker’s founder, Nick Denton, told the New York Times that it was no longer seen by advertisers as “a cute new entrant” on the blogging scene. The spat with The Daily Show began with a report by the site’s Irin Carmon on the program’s hiring policies, which highlighted the lack of women in senior writing or on-air positions and argued that it was “a boys’ club where women’s contributions are often ignored and dismissed”. Although The Daily Show had declined to comment for Carmon’s original piece, a visibly flustered Stewart attempted to address the issue a week later stating: “Jezebel thinks I’m a sexist prick.” In the days that followed The Daily Show released an open letter rebutting Carmon’s report titled “Dear People Who Don’t Work Here” and signed by more than 30 female employees.

  • The “Tron: Legacy”
    Release Date: December 16 Rating: TBC Run time: TBC rom Walt Disney Pictures comes “TRON: Legacy,” a high-tech adventure set in a digital world that is unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Directed by F Joseph Kosinski, “TRON: Legacy” stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen and is produced by Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver and Steven Lisberger, with Donald Kushner serving as executive producer, and Justin Springer and Steve Gaub co-producing. The “TRON: Legacy” screenplay was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz; story by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz and Brian Klugman & Lee Sternthal; based on characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D and scored by Grammy® Award–winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, “TRON: Legacy” features cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technology, effects and set design that bring to life an epic adventure coursing across a digital grid that is as fascinating and wondrous as it is beyond imagination. At the epicenter of the adventure is a father-son story that resonates as much on the Grid as it does in the real world: Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father, Kevin Flynn (Oscar® and Golden Globe® winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading tech visionary. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital grid where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years.

  • Music by Daft Punk Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
    ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK MUSIC BY DAFT PUNK © Disney Enterprises, Inc. I had been listening to Daft Punk for almost ten years before I met them at the 101 Coffee Shop in Hollywood one morning in November 2007. I sat down not knowing what to expect, and I was immediately struck by their deep knowledge and love of film and particularly the sanctity in which they held Steven Lisberger’sTRON. It quickly became clear to me that this had the potential to be an exciting collaboration. With topics that ranged from Bernard Hermann to Wendy Carlos, the discussion revealed a shared desire to create a score that blended classic orchestral themes with an electronic minimalism in a way that had never been done before. I walked out knowing that there was an opportunity here to create something truly special. Now, three years later, we are in the final stages of mixing and the result has truly exceeded my high expectations. Because the score was developed in parallel with the production of the film, I’ve had the opportunity to live with it for over a year now and it never fails to thrill and inspire me as we near the finish line. I am excited for you to experience Daft Punk’s first contribution to the world of film scoring – I have a feeling it won’t be their last. Joseph Kosinski / September 2010 © Disney Enterprises, Inc. More than twenty five years ago I inspired Daft Punk with the originalTRON. With this score, that inspiration has come back to me in full measure.

  • Sal Paradise SAM RILEY
    PERSMAP regie release 24 mei ON THE ROAD genre origine met “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn...” - Jack Kerouac (On the Road) New York, eind jaren veertig. Na de dood van zijn vader ontmoet Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), een aanstormend schrijver uit New York, de losbandige en avontuurlijke Dean Moriarty (Garret Hedlund). Verlangend naar vrijheid vluchten ze weg van de dagelijkse sleur en reizen door heel Amerika. Tussen wanhoop en vervoering ex- perimenteren ze met seks, liefde, drugs, alcohol en muziek. Ze zoeken de beroering, het wilde leven, de losbandigheid – de top- pen van hun emoties. Zelden heeft een boek zo’n cultstatus bereikt als ‘On The Road’ van Jack Kerouac. Onvergetelijk is het beeld dat hij oproept van wat we de ‘Beat Generation’ zijn gaan noemen: altijd onder- weg, on the road, nooit ergens aankomen, nooit ergens wíllen aankomen. Na ruim 50 jaar is deze klassieker nu verfilmd door Walter Salles (THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES) met Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kris- ten Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss en Viggo Mortensen. Jack Kerouac ont- moette in New York de schrijvers William S. Burroughs en Allen Ginsberg. Samen maakten ze deel uit van ‘The Libertine Circle’ wat nu bekend staat als de ‘Beat Ge- neration’. Hun filosofie was die van reizen en de aantrekkingskracht van het onbekende. Kerouac wilde het leven van de reiziger vast- leggen in een spontane stijl van proza: een oneindige stroom rauwe gedachten en obser- vaties.
