When it comes to celebrity portraits, it’s hard to be original. But Italian photographer Maurizio Galimberti solves this conundrum with Celebrity Works, his collection of mosaic portraits made up of slightly tilted Polaroid photos lined up to show each subject from three different angles. The images seem to capture the celebrities deep in thought, sometimes leaning their head down or placing a hand on their chin. All portraits are arranged in the same order, but the collages are as different as the stars who populate them. Click through for a selection of photos from the series, which we discovered via Design Taxi, and visit Galimberti’s website to see more of his work. … Read More

Oscar 2013: An Evening in Pictures
More than 30 minutes (and a good dozen Seth MacFarlane-induced cringes) past its scheduled end time, the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony finally drew to a close in the first few minutes of Monday morning. Since a picture is supposedly worth a thousand words — and we’re still too exhausted from last night’s festivities to pen a novella — here’s a selection of our favorite images of the night. Enjoy them — and the 12 or so hours we get until next year’s Oscar race… Read More
‘Side Effects’ and the End of the Soderbergh Era
In the 24 years since his debut feature sex, lies, and videotape won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Steven Soderbergh has directed 26 features, plus a handful of shorts and television episodes — a spree of productivity and creativity that puts most of his peers to shame. (Example: he directed seven films in the period between Quentin Tarantino’s third and fourth.) And now, it would appear, he’s done. After teasing and threatening for months, it seems that his latest theatrical release — the thriller Side Effects, out today — is his last, with only the HBO Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra on deck. So why, then, does Side Effects feel so anti-climactic? … Read More

This Week in Trailers: ‘Les Miz,’ ‘Lay the Favorite,’ and More!
Every Friday here at Flavorwire, we like to gather up the week’s new movie trailers, give them a look-see, and rank them from worst to best — while taking a guess or two about what they might tell us (or hide from us) about the movies they’re promoting. It’s a bit of a light batch after last week’s Cannes-fueled riches, but we’ve got new titles from Anne Hathaway, Robert DeNiro, Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Sigourney Weaver, Hugh Jackman, and Catherine Zeta Jones, as well as a Cannes winner and one of our favorite docs of the year. Check ‘em all out after the jump, and share your thoughts in the comments. … Read More
This Week in Trailers: ‘Ted,’ ‘Total Recall,’ ‘To Rome with Love,’ and More
Every Friday here at Flavorwire, we like to gather up the week’s new movie trailers, give them a look-see, and rank them from worst to best — while taking a guess or two about what they might tell us (or hide from us) about the movies they’re promoting.

Check ‘em all out after the jump, and share your thoughts in the comments. … Read More
Sundance 2012: The Deals, The Awards, and That Kubrick Doc
The 2012 Sundance Film Festival drew to a close over the weekend with a flurry of additional distribution deals, as well as a Saturday night awards ceremony. The fest’s out-of-nowhere buzz hit Beasts of the Southern Wild was among the big winners, nabbing not only the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize, but the US Dramatic Excellence in Cinematography award. The Documentary Grand Jury Prize went to The House I Live In, an examination of the war on drugs from director Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight). The Israeli film The Law in These Parts won the World Cinema Jury Prize for Documentary, while the Latin American musical drama Violeta Went to Heaven won the Dramatic World Cinema Jury Prize.
True to my history of excellent scheduling judgment, your humble correspondent saw not one of those films during my eight days in Park City, though I did take in — and greatly enjoy — the US Audience award winners The Invisible War (Documentary) and The Surrogate (Drama); the latter film also won a richly-deserved US Dramatic Special Jury Prize for Ensemble Acting. My favorite film of the fest, Mike Birbiglia’s warm, winning comedy Sleepwalk With Me, won the Best of NEXT Audience Award; another favorite, the wry time-travel comedy/drama Safety Not Guaranteed, won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. … Read More
This Week in Buzz
This week’s most shared, absolute must-see video? A good old-fashioned fail. Shooting up to over five million cumulative views on YouTube was “Girl falls into mall fountain while texting.” CNN caught up with the woman, Cathy Cruz Marrero, who was understandably embarrassed. (It could be worse. She could be the girl… Read More
The Most Dramatic Moments at the 2010 Tony Awards
Who knew that Sean Hayes could really play the piano? We didn’t before watching him host last night’s 64th Tony Awards. For those of you who missed the live show, it was pretty entertaining as these things go — in fact, it was obvious that they were trying to keep things viewer-friendly for the Glee Generation. While we could spend an entire post snarking on the production issues that plagued the broadcast (seriously: bad miking, lighting issues and awkward camera zooms), we figure that anyone who wasn’t on stage crew in high school would rather hear about the highlights. Photos and clips after the jump. … Read More
How Does Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Broadway Debut Measure Up?
Catherine Zeta-Jones makes her Broadway debut in the current revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s A Little Night Music, and as fans of her work as Velma Kelly in Rob Marshall’s Chicago (which scored her the Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar) might have assumed, the critics say she’s good, (if too young and pretty). Ditto five-time Tony winner Angela Lansbury, who also stars. The reaction to show itself is rather mixed, in part because of Trevor Nunn’s take on material that hasn’t been on Broadway since the ’70s; get the critical rundown after the… Read More
