Wrekin Hill Releasing Mark Webber's 'End of Love' Sundance Fave

Another one of my favorite films from Sundance this year has been acquired for distribution. And it's one that really needed a good distributor, too. Variety reports that Wrekin Hill (Hesher, The Flowers of War, Comic-Con: Episode IV doc) has acquired Mark Webber's The End of Love, his film starring Mark and his 2-year-old son that he wrote and directed. It's a raw, but intimate and captivating look at a relationship between a baby boy and his father, and I highly suggest seeing it when it comes out. Which, the good news is, this film will get a day-and-date theatrical and VOD release this year, so everyone will be able to watch it.

Mark Webber's The End of Love premiered at Sundance 2012 and stars Webber (who you might recognize from Scott Pilgrim, Shrink or The Lie), Shannyn Sossamon, even Michael Cera briefly, but primarily his 2-year-old son, Isaac Love. We ...

Oscar Predictions

RYAN: Shut it down! The Oscars are this Sunday night and for as long as we've been waiting for it, I can't believe it's just a couple days away!

CAROLINE: I know. It seems like all the other awards shows happened ages ago, so it's about time, Oscars!

RYAN: I'm beyond psyched Billy Crystal's back as host. He's just the best there ever was.

CAROLINE: He has traditionally always been great, but I'm scared of his receding hairline and recent plastic surgery face. Also, with him as host and Brian Grazer producing, this might be your grandma's Oscars.

RYAN: I am a bit saddened about the lack of musicality this year. We love a good musical moment and several at that; but with the lack of original song nominees, they're not being showcased this year.

CAROLINE: That might be a good thing though. Those musical numbers are rarely good, and they eat up so much time. But maybe Billy will do a number or two.

RYAN: I hope so. And there will be a Cirque du Soleil moment, so that should be cool.

CAROLINE: I'm looking forward to the red carpet, as always. It might be my favorite part of the night.

RYAN: I'm looking forward to your Rice Krispies treats!

CAROLINE: Honey, they're a tradition! So who do you think is gonna take home the gold?

RYAN: For Best Pic and Best Director, I predict The Artist and its leader Michel Hazanavicius.

CAROLINE: I'm with you. After seeing The Artist and its people clean up at the BAFTAs, I think they're headed for a big Oscar night.

RYAN: In the acting categories, I think it'll be uneventful - Viola Davis for Actress, George Clooney for Actor, Octavia Spencer for Supporting Actress and Christopher Plummer for Supporting Actor.

CAROLINE: I'm totally with you again - except I think it'll be Jean Dujardin over Clooney. But I'll be so excited if Viola wins! There's no one Meryl Streep would rather lose to.

RYAN: Wanna give it a go for the screenplay categories?

CAROLINE: I'm predicting The Descendants for Adapted Screenplay and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris for Original.

RYAN: That sounds about right, I s'pose. Though I wouldn't hate it if The Ides of March won for Original Screenplay. I loved that movie.

CAROLINE: Don't forget to watch the Oscars this Sunday night on ABC! We will be glued to the couch.

RYAN: And check back here with us during the show while we review it live! See you then!!

Trailer Tuesdays!

RYAN: It happens earlier and earlier each year, and summer movie blockbuster season technically begins this month with the Disney release of John Carter.

CAROLINE: This movie just looks like an excuse to use some special effects and make you wear 3D glasses. All those beasts in the trailer? Ugh, I couldn't be less interested.

RYAN: It looks like it has potential to me. It kind of has that Clash of the Titans vibe, but should be even better than that.

CAROLINE: You?re optimistic. I think I?ll let you take on this one.

RYAN: The cast is phenom: Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Willem Dafoe, among others... including the hottie cast as John Carter. Here?s the trailer:

CAROLINE: Next is a thriller staring the Olsen twins? younger sister, Elizabeth, who received awards season buzz last year for Martha Marcy May Marlene, though not enough for an Oscar nod.

RYAN: That movie was a lil' cray cray.

CAROLINE: Indeed but I loved it! This one looks like a pretty straightforward horror flick.

RYAN: All I can hope for is that it?s actually scary. Check out the trailer:

CAROLINE: Then there's an interesting movie with some actors we like called Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.

RYAN: Say that ten times fast.

CAROLINE: Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor star and I can't tell if it's a comedy or a drama or what.

RYAN: If there's Ewan, that's all I need to know...

CAROLINE: Lastly is Friends with Kids, by writer/director/actress Jennifer Westfeldt who we've appreciated ever since Kissing Jessica Stein.

RYAN: That movie is brillz. Sadly, she's probably best known today as the arm candy for Jon Hamm, who's also in the movie.

CAROLINE: This movie looks sooo good and LBH, we love Maya Rudolph, Kristin Wiig, cutie Chris O'Dowd... it's a great cast!

RYAN: Bring it!

Tarsem Singh Now Looks to Direct Epic 62-Part Film 'Eye in the Sky'

If you've seen any of Tarsem Singh's previous work, you'll know the director has a predilection for pushing boundaries. The director of The Cell, The Fall, Immortals, and the upcoming Snow White film Mirror, Mirror (not to be confused with Snow White and the Huntsman) spoke with The Playlist recently and gave details about what he hopes will be his next film. Eye in the Sky is a Soderbergh-style epic with 62 stories revolving around a drone attack, portraying the incident from the perspective of the people who launched it, those on the ground throughout, European politicians dealing with their own wars, and more.

Eye in the Sky already has a director, Olivier Hirschbiegel, but Tarsem is hoping to take over the project and put his own spin on things. This won't be quite as visually driven as some of his other work, but the director does refer to it as ...
