Mel Gibson to make movie in Mexico prison - Adelaide Now Posted: 08 Dec 2009 09:53 PM PST HOLLYWOOD actor and director Mel Gibson will clear out a prison to shoot scenes for his second movie in Mexico, to take place next year, according to the governor of Veracruz. Gibson will return to eastern Mexico, where he shot the 2006 movie Apocalypto, Fidel Herrera Beltran said. "My friend Mel is coming to work for many months here in Veracruz," Mr Beltran said. Prisoners would be transferred from the Ignacio Allende prison to other state facilities to make way for filming from January, the governor said. Construction of a new prison in the area would finish beforehand. Gibson has already visited the Allende prison, and he donated $US1 million ($1.09 million) toward hurricane relief in the Gulf of Mexico region in 2005. Many Mexican prisons are notorious for overcrowding and rioting. Share this article What is this? This content has passed through fivefilters.org.

Daniel Radcliffe: Harry Potter in the Buff - KXRM Posted: 08 Dec 2009 06:23 AM PST By Gossipcenter.com Tuesday, December 08, 2009 at 7:53 a.m. Read more: Entertainment, Gossip Girls, Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Movie News With the last installments of the "Harry Potter" movie franchise on the way, it has been reported that Daniel Radcliffe will do several nude scenes. According to director David Yates, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (the final chapter that has been split into two movies) will have Radcliffe in the buff. He explained, "Dan has appeared nude in the past. There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we're still thinking about how to present it." One of the scenes is part of a monster's torture tactic against Harry's friend Ron, played by Rubert Grint, in which Harry and Hermione Granger ( Emma Watson) get a little friendly. Yates explains, "We'll create something that feels very sexy and very intriguing to bring about a reaction in Rupert. There is another scene in King's Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene, he will also be naked."

Review: 'Lovely Bones' trades soul for spectacle - Danbury News-Times Posted: 08 Dec 2009 10:08 PM PST Odd as it sounds, Peter Jackson needed to come down to Earth a bit more in "The Lovely Bones," his adaptation of Alice Sebold's best-seller about a murdered girl looking back on her life from beyond. The visionary filmmaker behind "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy still is in fantasyland, still in the grip of Middle-earth, and the film suffers for it as Jackson crafts lovely but ineffectual dreamscapes of the afterlife that eviscerate much of the human side of the story. It's certainly a smaller, more intimate tale than his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and his "King Kong" remake. Yet the hope among fans of Jackson's early work was that "The Lovely Bones" would hark back to his 1994 drama "Heavenly Creatures," which put Kate Winslet on the road to stardom. With modest production, "Heavenly Creatures" presented striking fantasy visuals that complemented Jackson's dark story of two teenage women whose compulsive relationship results in murder. Now working on a grander Hollywood scale, Jackson loses the spark of Sebold's story — a young girl's lament over a life never lived, a family's bottomless grief over a child and sister lost — amid his expensive pretty pictures. Like the book, the film merges first-person and omniscient narration as Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan, an Academy Award nominee for 2007's "Atonement") chronicles her journey from sensitive 14-year-old schoolgirl to shattered soul stuck in a nether zone between earth and heaven. Sweet and somewhat shy, Susie is just developing a passion for photography and on the verge of her first kiss when a creepy neighbor (Stanley Tucci) with a serial-killer past lures her into his secret lair and murders her. For her family — including parents (Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz), grandmother (Susan Sarandon) and younger sister (Rose McIver) — Susie has simply vanished, her body hidden away by her killer. Years pass, and Susie watches the family crumble, her mom running off to work on a farm, her dad obsessed with finding his daughter's murderer, to the exasperation of the cop (Michael Imperioli) handling the case. Through death, Susie gains a razor-sharp focus on what's truly important, all those glorious little snapshot moments that, for the living, can become lost and forgotten in the cacophony of everyday life. Jackson's focus is fuzzier, the film flitting disjointedly from the Salmons' lingering sorrow to Susie's limbo, a realm that alternates between her anger and melancholy over what she's left behind and her wonder over what's yet to come in her larger existence. Earth and limbo don't really seem as though they're part of the same movie. The vibrant, sometimes ominous fantasyland where Susie dwells disconnects her from the life on which she reflects, puts her at a distance from the people she loves and misses. We're supposed to think she can't let go, when much of the time, it feels as though she's already gone. The images often are striking — ships inside giant bottles shattering on the rocks of a forlorn shore, candy-colored landscapes where Susie romps as she begins to sense the freedom of passing into the cosmos. But the spectacle Jackson creates is showmanship, not storytelling, distracting from the mortal drama of regret and heartache he's trying to tell. The actors all are earnest and engaging. As Ronan did with her breakout role in "Atonement," though, McIver kind of steals the show here, playing Susie's sister from age 11 to her late teens with a spirit and energy that outclasses Ronan's sometimes subdued performance. It's nice to see Imperioli (a mobster on "The Sopranos") play sympathetic rather than savage as the devoted detective. You do have to ask how good a cop his character is when a weirdo neighbor who lives alone, has no kids yet makes intricate dollhouses as a hobby doesn't jump right to the top of the suspects lists. "The Lovely Bones," a DreamWorks Pictures release distributed by Paramount, is rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving disturbing violent content and images, and some language. Running time: 135 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. ___ Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G — General audiences. All ages admitted. PG — Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. PG-13 — Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. Some material may be inappropriate for young children. R — Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. NC-17 — No one under 17 admitted. This content has passed through fivefilters.org.
