By Matt Singer and Alison Willmore IFC News [ Photo: "Mamma Mia!", Universal Pictures, 2008 ] Finding a good vehicle for a great comedian can be tough -- the ability to be funny doesn't always come hand in hand with the ability to act, and the film needs to work with a comedian's persona and particular strengths. This week on the IFC News podcast, we look at ten past films that have, in different ways, squandered the comedic talent attached to them. Download now (MP3: 32:39 minutes, 29.8 MB)

Francois Berleand stars as a jaded novelist and a too happily married "ladies man" whose latest conquest is TV weathergirl Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier). At once naive and unstoppable, Gabrielle doesn't need to be convinced to enter into a sordid May-September relationship with a celebrated member of the intelligentsia. However, tugging at her other arm with the pull of the entire haute bourgeoisie is young Paul (Benoit Magimel), the cute but dangerously schizophrenic scion of a Lyon pharmaceutical magnate. What's a girl to do? Appropriately, the story takes as its starting point a famous Gilded Age crime of passion, the murder of Madison Square Garden architect and notorious womanizer Stanford White.

Filed under: Foreign Language, New Releases, IFC, Distribution, Cinematical Indie, Western Poised to debut in its native land today, a Korean Western is also making plans to conquer the United States. The Good, the Bad, the Weird has been acquired by IFC Films for US distribution, according to CJ Entertainment, the film's Korean distributor. As noted by the Korean Film Council, advance ticket reservations are unprecedented for what's been described as South Korea's most expensive production (US$17 million) to date. Directed by Kim Jee-woon, The Good, the Bad, the Weird debuted at Cannes in May. Kim Voynar said it is " a crazy, busy Western that centers around a map to a treasure happened upon by a (seemingly) bumbling fool, who ends up being pursued by a good-guy law-enforcement type, a wicked bad guy dressed in black, and, at one point, an entire army. It runs a little long, but it's funny and sharp, with a spectacular chase sequence near the end and a nice final payoff." The film will have its North American Premiere at Toronto and then open in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and three other major cities in the first half of 2009. The director most recently made the terrific horror flick A Tale of Two Sisters and crime drama A Bittersweet Life. but he also made the wrestling-themed comedy The Foul King and the very darkly humorous The Quiet Family. You can watch the trailer, check out the posters, stills, and more at the Korean-language official site. [ via Twitch ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

This is my first student film, Hero For a Day. I wrote the script in Feb. 2008 and we shot in March. Preproduction took about two weeks before shooting and we shot with a skeleton crew of four including myself which was fine with me because I preferred a small crew. I did my own DP work and editing as well as the "shaky" effects in the bathroom scene. Everything was shot on location in Nashville, TN and all the lighting was natural except for a "baby" that we used in the kitchen. Shooting took place on March 21st and 22nd and was completed in a total of nine hours. This was good because I like to shoot very quickly and efficiently, and being my own DP and editor allows me to make that happen as a director because I know exactly what footage I need. All the glowing eye effects were handled by Andrew Wade and the mask was made by the very talented folks at Xtreme Design FX. We weren't given a budget for our projects so I had to use money out of my own pocket. Using methods I picked up from Lloyd Kaufman, I was able to put together all the costumes, props, locations, and craft services together and keep the whole film's budget under $100. The story came along out of my own experiences moving to Nashville and feeling alone in a big city, getting stuck in a mind-numbing routine and just waiting and hoping for something special to arrive at my doorstep and change things. To date, I have never suited up and tried my hand at crimefighting. =) Feel free to comment or message me if you have any questions. --Blake

By Matt Singer and Alison Willmore IFC News [ Photo: The sky, she falls -- "Chicken Little," Buena Vista Pictures, 2005 ] A few weeks ago, former Miramax president Mark Gill gave a speech at the L.A.

This week on the IFC News podcast, we discuss THINKFilm's issues, the closing of Warner Independent and Picturehouse and the other events that have lead up to this glum pronouncement, and whether things really are as bad as Mr. Gill claims.

Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Independent, Romance, IFC, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Images, Posters Cinematical is stoked to bring you this exclusive new poster for In Search of a Midnight Kiss (click image to enlarge), which I've heard is just absolutely awesome. Seriously, my best friend caught this flick back when it first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007 and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. I swear, he's a nut -- completely and utterly in love with this film. And I think it's totally rad. Written and directed by the very cool and extremely talented Alex Holdridge, Midnight Kiss tells of Wilson, who, considering he'll be broke and alone on New Year's Eve, is convinced by his best friend to post a personal ad. Through that he meets Sara, who's hell bent on finding the right guy to be with at midnight. We talk up a lot here on Cinematical, but I have such good vibes about this one. Watch it. Support it. Then watch it again. Oh, and here's the trailer. In Search of a Midnight Kiss hits theaters in limited release on August 1. Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, IFC, ThinkFilm, Box Office, Family Films, Cinematical Indie, Samuel Goldwyn Films, Picturehouse Despite dropping more than 50% in its second week of release, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (Picturehouse) outdrew all other specialty releases over the weekend, earning $21,200 per screen at five theaters, according to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo. Directed by Canadian indie veteran Patricia Rozema (I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, When Night is Falling), Kit Kittredge has clearly benefited from a devoted fan base that convinced thousands of their parental units to fork over $20 per ticket -- which, to be fair, includes a limited-edition t-shirt -- to see the movie in advance of its wide release tomorrow. That's a very good performance when you consider its main competition was not, actually, a French-language flick that skewed very adult, but actually a heavily-advertised animated film. Catherine Breillat's The Last Mistress (IFC Films), starring Asia Argento, took in $17,600 per screen at two locations, which probably owes as much, if not more, to the name recognition of Argento as that of the often-confounding Breillat.Continue reading Indie Weekend Box Office: American Girl 'Kit' vs. French 'Mistress' Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
