Work has finished, the office party embarrassment is starting to subside and you’re ready to collapse into the hibernation period before your New Year’s Resolutions promise to make yourself a better person. Christmas TV can be a minefield of shows we would never see any other time of year and, for some, with good reason. Thankfully, we are here to take your alcohol-shaking hand and lead you through the chaos to some of the best options on your box this Christmas.
Cool Runnings (1993) – BBC 1 – 23rd December – 1:15 Pm
It’s important to lower yourself slowly into Christmas TV and whilst Cool Runnings is not your archetypal Christmas film, the heart-warming tale of a Jamaican bobsleigh team making it to the Winter Olympics is a great nostalgic throwback.

We’ve all had nights which we wish we could forget. Or, to put it more prosaically, nights which we’ve completely forgotten (nothing to do with that last shot, of course). But when an evening heads south on the big screen, the characters often have more than an impending hangover to worry about.
Except in The Hangover, of course, but that’s a law unto itself.
Lucia Aniello’s debut feature Rough Night reunites a group of college friends ten years after graduation for a raucous hen night. Ten years older, but perhaps not ten years wiser, the group seize the opportunity to reclaim their youth and the bachelorette party begins in full swing. Then a stripper is called, things get our of hand and suddenly the group are in for a very different night out.

Notes from Hollywoodland: Rose’s Heady, Meaningful Tolstoy Update
“It is as if I had been going downhill while I imagined I was going up,” realizes the titular protagonist of Leo Tolstoy’s famed novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Considered a masterpiece of Russian literature and published in 1886, director Bernard Rose takes the text and transposes it to the turn of the following century in Hollywood with his 2000 film Ivans xtc., an undertaking that sounds tedious but actually makes for quite an apt and inspired adaptation. One hardly needs to be readily familiar with Tolstoy’s novella to appreciate or understand what the film is ultimately up to, but doing so provides an alternative subtext in approaching what Rose is doing—specifically that one of humankind’s most enduring tragedies is to embrace the superficialities of existence instead of building a meaningful life, just as as Tolstoy’s character...

Long pegged as a likely awards contender, Tim Burton’s Big Eyes sees the director making his first live-action film without Johnny Depp in over a decade.
Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams take the lead as Walter and Margaret Keane, and now The Weinstein Company has launched the first trailer, giving the first good look at what could well go on to become Best Actor and Best Actress nominations early next year.
Walter Keane became a household name in the 1950s, when his oddly emotional and best-selling paintings of big-eyed children made him a coveted TV talk show guest. But was the art really his? His wife Margaret claims that Walter’s only contributions to the work were his signatures, and the Keanes’ subsequent legal battle will destroy their marriage and lead to a jaw-dropping court showdown that will prove once and for all who the real artist is.

Having made a name for himself with the memorable horror flick Candyman back in 1992, British director Bernard Rose has since tried his hand in various other genres – with the more recent unofficial trilogy of adapted Leo Tolstoy novels, culminating in the wonderfully pensive drama Boxing Day last year, proving a distinct aptitude to excel in other areas. However he now makes a long-awaited move back to horror with his latest picture Sx_Tape – though regrettably, it’s a rather dire return.
We begin with mortified artist Jill (Caitlyn Folley) being interviewed by the police, as she is informed she is the only survivor of a dark and disturbing supernatural occurrence, following her daring break-in at a local, abandoned hospital with her boyfriend Adam (Ian Duncan). Though she seems to be somewhat oblivious to what exactly happened on this fateful day, fortunately Adam documented the entire day on his handheld camera...

Antonio Banderas produces and stars in this unoriginal medieval tale
As well as taking a voice role, Antonio Banderas is credited as a producer on this Spanish-made animation with English-language vocal talent. The Knights of Valour is a moderate fairytale fantasy, heavily influenced by Hollywood – specifically, the Shrek films. Manuel Sicilia directs, co-scripting with British writer Matthew Jacobs (who, as an actor, appeared in Bernard Rose's modern-day Tolstoy adaptation Boxing Day). They create a ye-olde-medieval-dayes kingdom where the glorious traditions of knights and chivalry have been abolished and replaced with a hideous nightmare of big government and nitpicking bureaucracy. Valiant young Justin (Freddie Highmore) wants to overturn this petty tyranny, and be a knight like his forebears but first he must go on an epic quest, confronting foes such as the conceited Sir Clorex (Banderas), and also win the heart of the feisty Talia (Saoirse Ronan).

Ape & Essence: Rose’s Latest Another Profound Tolstoy Exercise
Like Branagh’s penchant for bringing Shakespeare to celluloid, British director Bernard Rose has steadily amassed a collection of Tolstoy’s works for several adaptations. His latest, Boxing Day, would seem to cap a quadrilogy of films based on the literary icon’s works all starring Danny Huston (and don’t forget, before Joe Wright’s version last year, Rose had the most recent Anna Karenina with the 1997 Sophie Marceau topliner). This latest, based on Tolstoy’s story “Master and Man,” has been updated to reflect an economic crisis inspired road movie, with capitalism, class issues and Christmas infecting the toxic mix. For the most part, the rather blandly observed scenario is kept sharply afloat by the two lead performers playing broken, beat down bastards.

Transplanted Brit writer-director Bernard Rose and Hollywood scion Danny Huston have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship. Casting Huston in "Ivansxtc," a little-seen 2002 success d'estime that in many ways presaged the indie digital age, jump-started the would-be director's career as an actor. Huston keeps coming back for more, because with Rose he winds up doing his best acting. (Trailer below.) So far the two men have collaborated on four unfettered, unsupervised collaborations of micro-budget Leo Tolstoy adaptations, updated to modern La. "Ivansxtc" was the first ("The Death of Ivan Ilitch"), followed by relationship drama "The Kreutzer Sonata," about a wealthy man who falls for a concert pianist, and the upcoming "Boxing Day" ("Master and Man"), produced by Luc Roeg’s Independent and the BFI, which world premiered in Venice last year in advance of a UK late December opening. The well-reviewed film, which seeks U.S. distribution, will make its North American debut on.

Danny Huston has entered talks for Tim Burton's Big Eyes.
The actor is in line to join Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz in the biopic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film centres around the tale of Margaret and Walter Keane, the creators of a popular series of artworks featuring children with uncommonly large eyes.
While Margaret was the artist of the pair, her husband forced her to work long hours on the paintings while he sold them under his name.
The couple eventually divorced, with a court case giving Margaret the right to sell the pictures under her name after she painted one in front of the judge. Walter declined to do so, claiming he had a sore shoulder.
Huston will play a washed-up reporter in the film.
He will shortly appear in Boxing Day and Two Jacks, as well as returning for a second season of Starz's Magic City.

★★★★☆ In Bernard Rose's Boxing Day (2012), Danny Huston plays Basil, a business man living on the low end of venture capitalism. His credit cards are maxed-out and his affluent lifestyle is at risk. In a bid to get back on the front foot and funded via a shady procurement of a local church's charity fund, the day after Christmas Basil abandons his family home and heads from La to snowy Colorado to buy up properties on which the banks are due to foreclose, hoping to then sell them off and make a tidy profit. Picking him up from the airport is an English chauffeur Nick (Matthew Jacobs), himself a touchy and damaged individual.

Fifteen years ago the British director Bernard Rose made a deeply disappointing version of Anna Karenina in Russia. As if to make up for this he's spent much of this century in the States making low-budget movies transposing shorter Tolstoy works to present-day California. The first was ivans xtc, an acrid tale of Hollywood based on The Death of Ivan Ilyich, the second part of The Kreutzer Sonata that centres on a pathologically jealous Beverly Hills philanthropist suspecting his wife of adultery. The third is Boxing Day, a version of Master and Man, the story of Vasily, a pompous, penny-pinching smalltown landowner, who sets out right after the December St Nicholas Day festival to buy some cut-price timber from a neighbouring landowner, taking with him Nikita, a heavy-drinking peasant with a troubled marriage. They get lost in a snowstorm and Vasily discovers how much less significant social hierarchies and money are compared to human relationships.

Life Of Pi | West Of Memphis | Pitch Perfect | Boxing Day | Dabangg 2
Life Of Pi (PG)
(Ang Lee, 2012, Us) Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Ayush Tandon, Rafe Spall, 127 mins
All that was missing from Yann Martel's 2001 novel was the visuals, and boy does this provide them. In Lee's hands the tall tale of an Indian boy stranded on a lifeboat with a tiger is credible, captivating and, above all, ravishing to behold. It's rare to see big special effects seriously applied to something so non-generic, and the result is a one-off story teeming with life, colour and action – from gripping shipwreck action to close-up tiger terror to hallucinogenic ocean wonders.
West Of Memphis (15)
(Amy Berg, 2012, Nz/Us) 147 mins
Viewers of the Paradise Lost trilogy will already be familiar with the case of the West Memphis Three: teens accused, then convicted, of killing three young boys in a supposed Satanic ritual in 1993 despite highly questionable evidence.

★★★★☆ Danny Huston taking the lead role in a Bernard Rose adaptation of a Leo Tolstoy novel has become something of a familiarity, following on previous projects Ivansxtc (2000) and The Kreutzer Sonata (2008). The pair reunite once more for Boxing Day (2012), based on Tolstoy's Master and Man, as we follow a ruthless proprietor named Basil (Huston) who, alongside his chauffeur Nick (Matthew Jacobs), travels through a blizzard to purchase property. Basil is a conceited property owner, and one who is always looking for a hard bargain, so much so that he ditches his family and ventures out on Boxing Day to search for a cheap woodland estate.

His Ivansxtc was a searing indictment of Hollywood. Now Bernard Rose has adapted another Tolstoy story – and turned it into an indictment of capitalist America
Ten years ago, Bernard Rose proclaimed that digital technology would change the face of movie-making, and he made a film to prove it. Ivansxtc, released in 2000, wasn't just a calling card for digital cinema: it was also Rose's goodbye card to the industry that had previously shackled him – a scathing critique of Hollywood rendered in a new, raw aesthetic.
Ivansxtc chronicled the final days of a Hollywood agent, played by Danny Huston and based on Rose's real-life agent, Jay Moloney, a cocaine-addicted golden boy who killed himself in 1999, aged 35. Faced with death, Huston consoles himself with drugs and prostitutes, while his colleagues treat his impending exit as an inconvenience and an opportunity. The film is a glorious mix of sleaze and grace, a tragedy and...

So the three-movie idea is more likely down to financial demands than creative ones, and the now-notorious higher frame rate reduces cinematic spectacle to pin-sharp TV movie, but this is terrifically wrought escapism.

120 companies looking to buy films will attend the American Film Market for the first time, part of the more than 750 distributors from 75 countries that have registered for the only stand-alone theatrical feature film market (all others are attached to festivals) October 31-November 7 in Santa Monica. Korea (25), China (13), and the U.S. (11) lead the way with the most newcomers, AFM Managing Director and Independent Film & Television Alliance EVP Jonathan Wolf said in a release. “We are seeing a shift in the way sub-distributors acquire film as they steadily rely less on local distributors and more on direct acquisitions”, he said. “We also expect a significant increase in buyers from China.” AFM expects 1,500 individuals from these companies at the market from more than 70 countries.

By setting much of Tolstoy's masterpiece inside a theatre, Joe Wright both dazzles and distances the viewer
Tom Stoppard, a fluent and sensitive adaptor, has made a distinguished job of carving a workable screenplay from Tolstoy's 950-page novel, and Joe Wright has found a distinctive way of bringing it to the screen with Keira Knightley as Anna, Jude Law as her middle-aged, cuckolded husband, Karenin, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as her dashing lover, Count Vronsky. The last serious attempt to film Anna Karenina was by Bernard Rose in 1997, a lumbering work shot largely on Russian locations in the style of Dr Zhivago, with Sophie Marceau hopelessly inadequate as Anna, James Fox inexpressive as Karenin and Sean Bean virile in a rather unaristocratic way as Vronsky.
Having felt with some justification that he hadn't done justice to this towering masterpiece, Rose subsequently set about making innovative, low-budget versions of lesser Tolstoy fictions.

A decent 69th Venice film festival has served up an eclectic mix, from Terrence Malick's quest for God to Paul Thomas Anderson's potent drama about a blustering cult leader
Inside the main cinema at the Venice film festival the screen hosts a languid drift of evening shadows and world-weary bison. "What is this love that loves you?" inquires the murmurous voiceover. "Where are we when we're here?" I don't think it's the bison speaking but, as ever with the work of Terrence Malick, it's hard to say for sure.
To the Wonder arrives midway through this year's event. It comes tipped as a festival highlight, another masterpiece from the American visionary, but it catches the delegates in a scratchy mood and they send it off with a chorus of boos. It seems that there is no film disaster more spectacular than the movie that overreaches itself; the one...

Written by Sascha Penn, “Husbands” is inspired by the book of the same name by Josie Brown. Penn, Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman are executive producers while KristieAnne Reed and Pellington are co-executive producers.
While best known as a feature helmer, Pellington recently directed midseason ABC drama “Red Widow.” He’s also directed and served as consulting propducer on CBS’ “Cold
Bernard Rose‘s new film Boxing Day will premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.

With the line-up for the Toronto International Film Festival dropping a few days ago and the list for Venice out today, the festival circuit has arrived!
The lead stories for the Venice line-up aren't nearly as exciting as those coming out of Toronto. Harmony Korrine's "Spring Breakers" with James Franco and Selena Gomez will make its debut, as will Brian De Palma's "Passion" with Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams.
Perhaps the biggest headline here is the absence of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," a film that was expected to appear here. Skipping Venice is just more proof that the rumors of a Fantastic Fest debut may be true.
Check out the full line-up (via The Playlist) after the jump!
Opening Film (Out Of Competition)
"The Reluctant Fundamentalist," Mira Nair (U.S.,Qatar)

"To The Wonder," Terrence Malick (U.S.)
