 THE BROTHERS BLOOMPOSTED BY Buckminster Schumacker III | TUESDAY APRIL 14 AT 1:31 PDT
Director: Rian Johnson Cast: Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz, Rinko Kikuchi, Robbie Coltrane Synopsis: The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Now they've decided to take on one last job - showing a beautiful and eccentric heiress the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world. Genre: Comedy Release Date: May 29, 2009       'THE BROTHERS BLOOM'S' RINKO KIKUCHITHE BROTHERS BLOOM | Reviews | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosRian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom opens in wider release this weekend. If you get to the theater and Up and Drag Me to Hell are sold out - or if you're in the mood to just see a rock solid, atypical summer movie, then check it out (and if you want, read our review). If you need extra incentive to see it, how about one of its stars, Japanese bombshell Rinko Kikuchi, who plays Bang Bang, the aptly-named explosives expert. We won't delve into dirty jokes about her character's moniker, but we'll gladly play set up man for your sick minds. Where else you've seen Rinko: Probably not many other films, unless you're a Japanese cineaste. But her breakout role was in the Oscar-nominated Babel, a film in which she played the deaf/mute girl Chieko Wataya. (She is one of eight actors of Asian descent nominated for an Academy Award in an acting category.) Look for her in Mikael Håfström's '40s period piece, Shanghai, opposite John Cusack and Chow Yun Fat. Random Quote: "The nudity itself was not my concern."

DOWNLOAD 'BROTHERS BLOOM' COMMENTARY ON iTUNESTHE BROTHERS BLOOM | Reviews | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosIt appears Rian Johnson, the mastermind behind Brick and The Brothers Bloom, has decided to record and make available a downloadable commentary podcast to coincide with the expansion of Brothers Bloom’s limited release. With movie tickets costing the price of what a kidney goes for on the black market nowadays, I’m sure tons of people are really excited about forking over the price for two tickets to see the movie with and without commentary. Then again, I saw Brick twice in theaters, so maybe Johnson’s filmmaking is just badass enough to convince me to do this. Or maybe I’m just lonely enough to see a movie twice with an iPhone podcast as my only company. Find the link to the commentary after the jump! More... CLIP FROM 'THE BROTHERS BLOOM' - "THE MARK"THE BROTHERS BLOOM | Reviews | Videos | Forum | News | PhotosA new clip from Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom was released today. In our last installment, we got to see Rachel Weisz's card skills. In this one, we get to see Adrien Brody's lack of bicycling skills, as he flies down a steep decline and narrowly avoids missing Rachel and her Lamborghini. Granted, he meant to do it. It's all part of an elaborate scheme to grift Weisz's character. Watch the clip after the jump, and don't try this at home. Screenjunkies is seeing The Brothers Bloom tonight and will have a full report when we're allowed. The film officially opens May 29th. More...
