This is a list of our favourite soundtracks of 2011. We are currently working on a list of the best original scores, which should be posted sometime before the end of the year. It hasn’t been the greatest year for movie soundtracks, but I can say that the top five have been spinning in my I-Phone for months. Let us know if you think we left out any soundtracks you would recommend. It is worthy mentioning that there stands a good chance the soundtrack to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo would make the list, but it sadly won’t be out soon enough, so perhaps we will include it on next year’s list instead. Enjoy!This is a list of our favourite soundtracks of 2011. We are currently working on a... more

Screenwriter Diablo Cody explains why finding Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell is like hitting the jackpot for a documentarian for "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die."

It examines how the documentary feature has evolved into an increasingly popular genre, becoming a major box office draw and impacting contemporary American culture in ways never seen before.

So it’s pretty much common knowledge that a film chronicling the life and times of Playboy founder and Viagra enthusiast Hugh Hefner has been in the works for a long while now. While an announcement was made some time ago that scribe John Hoffman was set to tackle the script for director Brett Ratner (thing’s got class written all over it), it now seems that a new writer is being courted to pen the screen play for the long gestating biopic. A writer who’s name just screams “period piece about a smooth, urbane, swinging businessman who created the ultimate gentleman’s periodical,”… Diablo Cody. Yes, you read that right. Straighten your ears and bow tie, and go ahead and hit the jump to read more.

“Well,” I smirked to myself last week, “I guess I’m not jealous of Diablo Cody anymore.”
I had just finished watching the preview of Jennifer’s Body – Cody’s second movie since her Oscar-winning Juno. It could have been a kick-ass post-feminist Scream, but turned out to be just so much blood down the drain.
And believe me, I loooove hot, girl-versus-girl stories – from Wild Things and Poison Ivy to more obscure fare like Old Enough – and 80s TV Show “Double Trouble”.
I mention this because a couple days after I saw Cody’s film, a box arrived – the first of eight (containing books and memorabilia) that I’d shipped to LA from my hometown in New Jersey.
In this box, atop the voodoo tarot card set and art history tomes, were some two dozen candy-colored paperbacks.
These were my “Sweet Valley High“s – Francine Pascal’s fictional series about two blond, identical twins: Elizabeth (the good) and Jessica (the bad) who lived in a mythical California town.
SVH’s appeal back in the 1980s was perhaps no different than that of shows like “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” today. It was a way for dysthymic girls with zits and worrisome vaginas to evaporate, however briefly, into a fabulous sun-splashed world of skinny, clear-skinned bikini babes and hunky boyfriends.
As recently as last month I found myself twittering about them:
“Since the studios are adapting beloved books, can we get Sweet Valley High the movie, w/ Dakota Fanning as the good twin? Bad twin hmm..? (Sep 9th).”
And now the books sit in piles on my coffee table, as I debate whether to display them on the shelf (as originally intended) or pack them away again, where they can’t remind me of the big news:
Diablo Cody is Adapting Sweet Valley High.
Welp, guess I’m jealous again! And just when I thought I’d overcome my envy of the cool-named-stripper-writing-pregnant-heroine-movie-hit-Oscar-winning-it-girl! Never mind that I never wanted to write a movie about a pregnant teen, that’s not the point!
Check out Current_Movies Blog to see the rest!“Well,” I smirked to myself last week, “I guess I’m not... more
