Movies: Fassbender Rises, Cheno Hosts, Beatty Seduces

Nathaniel Rogers January 16, 2010

How do you take yours? And are you eager to take Fassbender in any movie you can get him?

I'm sorry to go on and on but he even claims to be a film buff. Between this and playing the dashing film critic turned spy in Inglourious Basterds it's like he's flirting with everyone who loves movies too much. Next up for Fassbender: a slew of movies including Jonah Hex. It's his second comic book adaptation (he was one of the Spartans in 300) and he'll play the nasty secondary villain "Burke".

 road Tell the truth: You've always wanted to dress up Morgan Freeman for award shows. The internet fulfills your every sick desire.

 road Speaking of awards shows, did you see Sandra Bullock & Meryl Streep's spontaneous all too brief makeout last night on VH1?  I liveblogged the "Critics Choice" Awards (I'm a member, god help me). The ever delightful Kristin Chenoweth did movie spoofs to pass the time along between acceptance speeches. But, as ever, Meryl Streep is the highlight of an awards show as long as you give her a microphone and a closeup. Such an incorrigible ham. This Sunday it's the Golden Globes. Are you throwing a party or attending one?

 road Are you depressed that they're rebooting Spider-Man already? He's barely been out of highschool for seven years. This is way too early… there's not even a new generation of moviegoers available yet. The idea to make it grittier is horrifying (someone at Sony clearly doesn't understand the Spider-Man mythos and thinks they're working on Batman) and almost all of the actor names bandied about to replace Tobey Maguire are terrifyingly wrong for the part. Peter Parker is not supposed to be a hot teen stud, he's a geek with a camera who moons over unobtainable girls. 

 road If you're into Classic Hollywood (and if you aren't, shouldn't you be?) are you planning to read Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America? I keep hearing how incredibly dishy it is — and not just for the 'sex with 12,775 women' guesstimates but for all the movie anecdotes and the tormenting-of-Natalie-Wood drama. I'm eager to curl up with it in hardcover. Annette Bening must be so proud.

Mmmmm, Warren Beatty (and Natalie Wood!)…  Almost managed to forget about Michael Fassbender for a few minutes!

NOW PLAYING
I've already heard from three or four friends that Michael Fassbender's entrance in the new British coming-of-age drama FISH TANK, is worth the movie ticket all by itself. The film is about an angry hip hop loving teenage girl (newcomer Katie Jarvis) who falls in instant lust with mom's new boyfriend (Michael Fassbender). Can you blame her? The German born Irish actor was so great in Hunger and Inglourious Basterds and continues his hot streak here. Andrea Arnold, who won an Oscar for her electric short film Wasp a few years ago, helmed this critically acclaimed drama, which has finally made it across the Atlantic.

If Fish Tank isn't in your city yet, you can see Denzel Washington play his umpteenth violent badass in THE BOOK OF ELIor watch Jackie Chan as THE SPY NEXT DOOR or risk Peter Jackson's adaptation of THE LOVELY BONES which is finally going wide after weeks of (deserved) bad buzz. [Note to distributors: It doesn't make any sense to do a slow rollout of a big budget special effects movie from a name filmmaker]. Finally, in limited release, the Russian-set period drama THE LAST STATIONis opening. "It already opened" you say. No, no, false alarm. They employed one of those tremendously irritating fake releases last monthto qualify for the Oscars. In an earlier post right here I recommended it for JamesMcAvoy's virginity, Helen Mirren's drama, and ChristopherPlummer's 279th attempt at an Oscar nomination (incredibly, the 80 yearold acting legend has never been nominated) but I almost didn't notice it was back in theaters. I can't think of anything butMichael Fassbender today.

Apparently he takes it light and sweet.
