No “glamorous Hollywood” holidays for Zoey Deutch – she’s busy embracing her wild(life) side.
The Why Him? actress, whose parents are Back to the Future star Lea Thompson and Pretty in Pink director Howard Deutch, tells People Now that she spent her childhood holidays in Montana – with farm animals.
“We had a lot of really cool llamas ,” she says. “They spit on you, it’s a really great experience … I know you were expecting like a Hollywood answer but llamas on Montana is my answer to that.”
The family’s love of livestock hasn’t subsided as Deutch, 22, got older,...

Did Quentin Tarantino stumble this time out? His tale of western killers sharing a snowbound cabin builds almost zero suspense, and the verbal excess and violent grossness lack Tarantino's usual clever, wickedly funny edge. And 70mm cooped up in a dim interior? It's A Long Day's Journey into Lincoln Logs. Totally dig Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ennio Morricone, though. The Hateful Eight Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD Anchor Bay / Weinstein 2015 / Color / 2.76 widescreen (Ultra Panavision 70) / 187 min. / Street Date March 29, 2016 / 39.99 Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Walton Goggins, Demián Bichir, Michael Madsen, James Parks, Dana Gourrier, Zoë Bell, Lee Horsley, Gene Jones, Channing Tatum. Cinematography Robert Richardson Film Editor Fred Raskin Original Music Ennio Morricone Production Design Yohei Taneda Produced by Richard N. Gladstein, Shannon McIntosh, Stacey Sher Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino

It's hard enough being a teenager - just imagine being a teenage vampire. Vampire Academy, the film based on Richelle Mead's best-selling novels, follows Rose Hathaway and her best friend Lissa Dragomir, students at St. Vladimir's Academy in Montana. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill, glittering-in-the-sun, garlic-and-silver-fearing vampires. There's the Moroi, mortal vampires with magical abilities who drink blood from human volunteers and don't kill anyone, and the Strigoi, immortal vampires who prey on Moroi and humans and murder in their quest for blood. And it's up to a few teenagers to keep the peace between the two. The film,...

They're funny, they're sad, they're weird. Here are 50 famous last words from characters in the movies...
Please Note: There are potential spoilers ahead. Check the name of the film, and if you haven't seen it, don't read the entry!
As someone famous probably once said, “We’ve all gotta go sometime,” and if we’re going to die, we might as well do so with a witticism or a memorable line rather than a scream and a cry for mother. Which is the subject of this lengthy but far from definitive list: the memorable things movie characters have uttered shortly (not necessarily immediately) before they’re about to meet their maker.
Some of these last words are long, tear-jerking monologues. Others amount to little more than a word or two. But all of them, in our estimation, are worthy of mention, and one...

How did the lone cowboy hero become such a potent figure in American culture? In an extract from his final book Fractured Times, the late Eric Hobsbawm follows a trail from cheap novels and B-westerns to Ronald Reagan
Today, populations of wild horse-riders and herdsmen exist in a large number of regions all round the world. Some of them are strictly analogous to cowboys, such as gauchos on the plains of the southern cone of Latin America; the llaneros on the plains of Colombia and Venezuela; possibly the vaqueiros of the Brazilian north-east; certainly the Mexican vaqueros from whom indeed, as everyone knows, both the costume of the modern cowboy myth and most of the vocabulary of the cowboy's trade are directly derived: mustang, lasso, lariat, sombrero, chaps (chaparro), a cinch, bronco. There are similar populations in Europe, such as the csikos on the Hungarian plain, or puszta, the Andalusian...

Breaking Bad 5×03 “Hazard Pay”
Stars: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Rj Mitte | Written by Vince Gilligan | Directed by Adam Bernstein
**Spoilers Lie Beyond Here**
Walter White is Tony Montana. There, it had to be said. It begs to be screamed from the rooftops. In the beginning, Vince Gilligan had said that the true arc of the series has been Walter White’s transition from “Mister Chips to Scarface.” Although, it’s a lot more present and easier to observe in this season and the last, the true moment was back in season two. Back then, when Walter notoriously told an aspiring cook to “stay out of my territory,” that was when Heisenberg equaled Tony Montana. Full disclosure: I don’t really like the film, “Scarface.” It’s well-directed, though not De Palma’s best work. It’s well-written but it isn’t Oliver Stone’s best script.

It wouldn’t be the most anticipated film series since the Twilight if mayhem didn’t ensue at the Los Angeles mall tour stop for The Hunger Games, which was held at the Westfield Century City Mall on Saturday. Fans lined up on a bridge across from the mall as early as 8 p.m. the night before, with the majority of the 1,000 fans let in staking their claim on the cold cement around 4 a.m. just to get a chance to meet, or get a glimpse of Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth.

"Donnie Brasco" was like no mob movie that came before it. Based on a true story, that of FBI undercover agent Joseph D. Pistone, who spent years infiltrating New York's Bonnano crime family, its mobsters were decidedly unglamorous petty criminals, guys who had to resort to breaking into parking meters to make their monthly nut. It was directed by an Englishman best known for a Hugh Grant romantic comedy. Its hero, who never fires a gun except on the FBI firing range, was played by Johnny Depp (then best known for quirky, vulnerable man-child roles) and his mentor was played by Al Pacino (as a tired, rumpled mafioso, about a million miles from his Michael Corleone or Tony Montana). That it worked at all was miraculous, especially considering how different it might have been with its initial star and director. The result was a modern classic that made a grown-up...

Tiny Toon Adventures is sort of the overlooked middle child of Warner Bros. animation. The series was conceived during the late-80s, post-Muppet Babies boomlet for younger versions of beloved cartoon characters, and the series could never match up to the original Looney Tunes animation. At the same time, Tiny Toon only rarely achieved the full-scale madcap insanity of Warner’s later cartoon Animaniacs. (Much as I love “Particle Man,” I have to agree with John Young that nothing beats the musical sequences on Animaniacs.) Still, I loved Tiny Toon Adventures when I was a kid, for one simple...

This sheep-herding documentary from Montana might have been scripted by Annie Proulx or Larry McMurtry, says Peter Bradshaw
This beautiful and hypnotic documentary shows the agony and the ecstasy of herding sheep up into Montana's Beartooth mountains for the summer pasture. The ecstasy is ours, in contemplating these ravishing images. The agony belongs to the shepherds themselves, for whom this is a physically shattering job. With its slow, lyrical takes, the movie reminded me of the French film-makers Nicolas Philibert and Raymond Depardon but this film is intensely American, and seems sometimes to have been scripted by Annie Proulx or Larry McMurtry. The images of thousands of sheep drifting like a great grey woolly sea across the landscape, and even, in one shot, down the main street in a small town, are quite extraordinary. Yet however gentle and charming it looks, we are left in no doubt as to...

2010 Best Actor Academy Award-winner Jeff Bridges.
Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Jeff Bridges for finally getting his props with last night's win for "Crazy Heart"! He's now officially lost the title of "Most Underrated Actor of His Generation." In the spirit of Jeff's victory, we at The Interview thought it appropriate to share this article, which originally appeared in the July 1999 issue of Venice Magazine. Enjoy, and well-done, Jeff!

Jeff Bridges is arguably the most underrated great American actor since the late Robert Ryan. A performer of incredible range, whose myriad of characterizations over the past 30 years leave the filmgoer with a continued sense of awe and admiration, Bridges' refusal to fit a mold on-screen might be the very thing that has kept him from becoming a conventional movie star. It's also the thing that has kept his work so fascinating, and so brilliant.

For the fourth consecutive year Hollywood has selected its Black List, a compilation of the top unproduced screenplays for 2009. Over 300 film professionals were asked to submit the titles of up to ten of their favorite screenplays. The only condition for the picks were that the projects would not be released in theaters this year. That means some of the Black List honorees may be in the process of being turned into movies but by far the majority remain thoughts on digital ink, a blueprint for grand dramatic ideas, high-reaching adventure and controversial ideas waiting to be burned to light.
For a screenplay to have made it onto the Black List it must have received at least five votes for it. Some scripts have five votes while the top-rated screenplay received 47 votes. That doesn't mean that the script with the most votes is the best screenplay of the year; it means...

Michael Madsen calls movies "pictures" and makes a new one every couple weeks. I happened to check his IMDb page recently, and I noticed something incredible: the man acted in 25 movies released this year. 25*! Sure, they all have dubious titles like You Might As Well Live, Lost in the Woods, and Road of No Return. Sure, Madsen mostly plays characters with names like "The Reverend," "The Associate," and "Clinton Manitoba." But the sheer quantity of Madsen-imprinted cinema in 2009 deserves a special kind of acclaim. Madsen is philosophical about his workaholic output. "I'm only good when I'm busy. When I've got nothing to do,...

But with Lea Thompson in a bikini, a human pyramid of hot chicks and Lou Gossett as an African American character who Doesn't get eaten, who needs 3-D?!?
