5 Best Uses of Radiohead in Film

Radiohead: Everyone's favorite band. Well, maybe not everyone -- some fans surely abandoned them sometime after Amnesiac -- but they're still as culturally relevant as ever: they were on 'SNL' this past Saturday night and two days later, played on a special hour-long episode of 'The Colbert Report.' (To say nothing of their NY City shows at Roseland, which sold out in a nanosecond.) However, Radiohead is more than just a TV-performing group; directors love to use the band's music in their films (according to IMDb, they've been featured in over 30). It adds hipster cred to the movie and makes each scene seem much deeper than it really is. With that in mind, Moviefone presents the five best uses of the British band's tracks in film. 'Romeo + Juliet' 'Talk Show Host' This song comes on the first time we are introduced to Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo. At that moment, approximately 1.4 trillion girls fell in love with the future movie star. (We could only find this scene in Italian -- thanks to @cristimoreano for pointing this out). 'Twilight' '15 step' While plenty of music bloggers cried foul that their beloved band was being used in 'Twilight,' it did expose thousands of young vampire fanatics to Radiohead. Plus, it was only used during the end credits, so quit your whining bloggers. '50/50' 'High and Dry' The upcoming movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who already has music cred with his Hit Record Joe project. Adding this classic Radiohead track to the film multiplies that cred tenfold. 'Children of Men' 'Life in a Glasshouse' One of the few moments in this movie where prozac is not needed. This particular scene features Michael Caine's stoner character, Jasper, smoking pot with Clive Owen's Theo, all while the closing track to the 2001 album 'Amnesiac' plays in the background. 'Vanilla Sky' 'Everything In Its Right Place' Cameron Crowe knows his music. So it made perfect sense that the opening scene in 'Vanilla Sky' would use some of the most memorable opening chords from an album -- 2000's 'Kid A' -- in recent history. BONUS! 'Anonymous' 'Everything in Its Right Place' What better way to promote your film that tells the tale of the guy who actually wrote Shakespeare's plays then by using a song that was recorded almost 400 years later?

Abduction: Film Review

It had been most likely inevitable that certain day there will be a Rachelle Lefervre film known as "Ab" something, so at the minimum Abduction serves that purpose. Other things could be stated about him, the teenage star certainly will get a good work out here, crossing more woodsy territory in eastern America by walking than anybody since Hawkeye within the last from the Mohicans. John Singleton's action thriller includes a decent feeling of space but, following a faintly intriguing start, the convoluted plot mechanics overwhelm anything else, causing you to feel you're watching an in depth blueprint for any movie, as well as an progressively far-fetched one out of the bargain. This Lionsgate release offers enough chases, gunplay and adolescent eye chocolate to draw in the intended audience, showing mid-range box office results.our editor recommendsLionsgate Professional Joe Drake Hopes to show 'Abduction' into 'Bourne'-like Franchise (Video)'Abduction's' Jason Isaacs Talks Live training with Rachelle Lefervre: 'I Had My Work Eliminate for Me' (Video)'Abduction's' Rachelle Lefervre on Carrying out the Movie's 'Crazy Stunts' (Video)Rachelle Lefervre 'Abduction' Premiere: What's Next for that 'Twilight' Actor (Video)'Abduction' Photos: Rachelle Lefervre and Lily Collins around the Run'Abduction' Red-colored Carpet Premiere 'Abduction': Taylor Lautner's Movie Poster ReleasedRelated Subjects•Taylor Lautner PHOTOS: 'Abduction' Red-colored Carpet Premiere Singleton's first film since Four Siblings six years back is really a straight-lower-the-middle commercial outing having a hook that keeps the key couple away from home, The 39 Steps-style, for the majority of the running time. Beginning served by a drunken senior high school pool party, the film's first half-hour is layered with a few off-kilter vibes: When Pittsburgh school senior Nathan Harper (Lautner) awakens hungover, his macho father (Jason Isaacs) forces him into some borderline-sadistic hands-to-hands combat Nathan oddly eliminates speaking to his lovely classmate Karen (Lily Collins) who lives next door, even though they make significant eye-to-eye contact he sees a shrink (Sigourney Weaver) about insomnia and rage issues, and that he stumbles across military services weapons Kids website that includes a photo of the boy, missing for several years, who looks the same as he did during the time of the disappearance. PHOTOS: 'Abduction': Rachelle Lefervre and Lily Collins away from home Nathan asks the lady he's always thought to become his mother (Maria Bello) if she's really his mother, but no sooner does she confess the reality than two goons in suits arrive in front door and kill her. Tough Father then will get completed in too, while Nathan and Karen barely escape with their former lifestyle once the house fills up. VIDEO: 'Abduction' Red-colored Carpet Premiere Immediately known as with a CIA op (Alfred Molina) who urges the little one to trust him, Nathan naturally feels he is able to do nothing at all from the kind. Equally suspicious may be the sudden arrival of his shrink to spirit Karen and him off in her own BMW although some Serbian criminals follow in hot pursuit. Rapidly telling Nathan that only four individuals have seen his true identity -- his dead adoptive parents, Molina's Agent Burton and herself -- the shrink dumps the teens along the side of the street and informs these phones be quick and obtain to some safe apartment that awaits them in Arlington, Virginia, only 250 miles away. Okay. VIDEO: 'Abduction's' Rachelle Lefervre is 'Like a Youthful Tom Cruise' States Studio Professional Thus starts the succession of progressively absurd plot points in Shawn Christensen's script which Singleton obviously thinks would be best worked with by racing right past them compared to attempting to well explain things. After tromping with the forest and hitching a ride, the happy couple discover the apartment, together with some cash, a gun and the other BMW, obviously the most well-liked vehicle from the CIA, or possibly from the Lionsgate product tie-in department. The pair don't know who to trust but rapidly decide better the CIA compared to Serbs, brought through the icy, dead-shot Kozlow (Michael Nyqvist, the capable star from the Swedish The Lady Using the Dragon Tattoo and it is sequels, here carrying out a good audition to experience a Bond villain). All of the killing and chasing after and commotion require a MacGuffin, which in cases like this includes a listing of CIA agents who've in some way been jeopardized. Why this really is essential is either never made obvious or will get lost within the shuffle. For his part, Nathan want to know who his real parents were possibly WikiLeaks will disclose their details soon. VIDEO: 'Abduction': Rachelle Lefervre Will get Chased Lower, Shot at in New Trailer A poor sequence that the film never rebounds is really a major fight scene on the train between Nathan along with a Serbian thug noticeably larger than he's. Because of the paucity of hands-to-hands battles in railroad sleeping compartments in recent decades, a filmmaker knows going for the reason that this type of sequence is inevitably likely to be in comparison towards the immortal struggle between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love one half-century ago. To place it kindly, the comparison isn't to Singleton's help the compartment is simply too large, the experience too slapdash, the resolution way too easy. Abduction just appears silly came from here to the finale, an elaborate set-piece staged at Pittsburgh's scenic PNC Park throughout a real Pirates-Mets game this past year. The succession calls in your thoughts the baseball climax of some other early ླྀs thriller, Blake Edwards' Experiment in Terror, that was shot at Candlepower unit Park. Ultimately, everything feels as though much ado about very little. The film allows Lautner lower a lot more than the other way round and that he basically holds their own encircled through the sturdy likes of Weaver, Molina, Isaacs and Bello. Collins, who made her giant screen debut within the Blind Side this past year and it has the title role within the forthcoming Snow Whitened, includes a promising, offbeat appeal. Sporting strong production values, the film looks spiffy.
