31 December 2009 3:40 PM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
As 2009 comes to a close, we take a look back at some of the people and events that made this the Best. Lesbian. Decade. Ever. in pop culture.
Luckily for all of us, there was far more information to have mentioned from the last ten years than we could have included in this brief survey. That's why our lists for each year are not intended to be exhaustive, but are instead snapshots of different memorable moments that included the representation of lesbians and bisexual women in film, television, music, literature, comics, sports and the Internet since the year 2000.

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Seven
29 December 2009 7:16 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Summary: A tale of a mother and daughter, separated at birth, who struggle with the damage done by the most important person missing in their lives while a young African-Americn woman deals with an unwanted pregnancy and the adoption process.
Analysis: Scoring rave reviews in Toronto, the $7 million latest effort of Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her") once again shows off his skill at weaving multiple narratives together in clever and unexpected ways. At its heart it's an emotional family drama, but Garcia excels with his female characters which makes the involvement of Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington and especially Annette Benning thrilling.
The few criticisms levelled at the film were toward some pacing and credibility issues in the last act, but otherwise praised it for not »

Multiple Sarcasms Poster
29 December 2009 3:59 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Today we have a new poster from the upcoming “Multiple Sarcasms” comedy drama.
“Multiple Sarcasms” synopsis: It’s New York, 1979. Gabriel Richmond is a talented architect with a seemingly rich life as he has a caring wife, loving daughter and life long friends. Yet, he spends most days in the movie theater, hiding out from work, escaping into a fictional world where he can more readily relate to the made up characters. When fiction shines a mirror on his own life, an inspired Gabriel begins writing a play not-so-loosely based on his reality, examining all of the relationships that make his life what it is.
At first a hobby, the play begins to consume Gabriel’s own self-examination. Slowly he realizes the fragility of his relationships and overall decisions in life, but does not know what to do with this information other than write about it. Gabriel’s work eventually »

Divorce Triumphs For 'The First Wives Club' In Today's Sick Day Stash
9 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Call them "cult classics." "Guilty pleasures." "Comfort movies." We all have a mental rolodex of flicks that may not be terribly popular but, for one reason or another, they resonate in a very special way. Maybe you saw it at the right moment. Maybe you just see gold where everyone else sees feces. Whatever the case, these are the special favorites that you keep stashed away for sick days. Here are some of ours.
Bette Midler. Sarah Jessica Parker. Goldie Hawn. Diane Keaton. Do I need to say more?
Well, I guess I should. "The First Wives Club." Is that enough? Okay fine… then I'll have to tell you more about the film.
The flick, about three college besties who reconsider their marriages and their lives after one of their other friends offs herself (Stockard Channing), is a chick flick staple. Released in 1996 in a pre-"Sex and the City" world, »

Indie Mulitple Sarcasms Get For Spring Release
25 November 2009 2:08 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Multiple Sarcasms is a movie title that sounds clever when you first hear it-- it's a play on multiple orgasms, right?-- but then falls apart as soon as you think harder about it. I mean, what? Sarcasm is a distinct single property? Hopefully my confusion about the title doesn't turn out to be the most interesting thing about this indie movie, which has just been set for theatrical release in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle next March. According to Variety the plan is to bring the movie, starring Timothy Hutton, Mira Sorvino, Dana Delany, Mario van Peebles and Stockard Channing, into more markets in April and May. In the film Hutton plays a New Yorker who takes an "unconventional path" to changing his life: writing a play. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Let's put on a show!" the oldest cinematic trick in history for »

Screen Queens
12 October 2009 6:53 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Hi, Matt Canada here with a weekly column looking back at gay cinema classics. I think that alot of people, gay and straight alike, view gay films as formally, thematically, and socially ghettoised and sub par. It is my goal that this column will reflect the diversity, breadth, and quality of the gay canon. This body of films encompasses everything from those made by gay filmmakers dealing explicitly with gay issues (Milk); to gay authored films that are nominally straight stories, but are interpreted by many as allegorically commenting on Lavender themes (George Cukor's Rich and Famous); camp classics (Mommie Dearest); gay films authored by heterosexual directors, screenwriters and/or producers (Brokeback Mountain); and those "heterosexual films" that have always been appropriated by gay audiences as queer (All About Eve). With such a wide array of possible films to look at, this column will bring something unique to the table each weekend. »

Streep Nom #1, 1978
16 June 2009 12:20 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
As a follow up to the 'Streep at 60' posts I thought I'd leave an open discussion thread for each Streep nomination's competition through the years. Her first came for 1978's The Deer Hunter (my take on her role). The nominees were:
Dyan Cannon, Heaven Can WaitPenelope Milford, Coming HomeMaggie Smith, California Suite
Maureen Stapleton, InteriorsMeryl Streep, The Deer Hunter
The only nomination I've never understood from that shortlist is Milford's in Coming Home (a film I otherwise love). The Golden Globes differed slightly, skipping Smith and Milford to honor Carol Burnett in A Wedding and Mona Washbourne in Stevie. I know there was never a chance that Stockard Channing's classic rendition of "Rizzo" in Grease was going to be shortlisted but it's such a film stealing enduring delight I like to pretend that she was.
My vote would go to Maureen Stapleton, who served Woody Allen's Interiors perfectly, »

Neil Patrick Harris donned a shiny tux and a big smile, hosting the Tony Awards last night at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Broadway veteran John Stamos and newcomer Anne Hathaway were among the stars who stepped out to present awards. Dolly Parton, Stockard Channing and Elton John took the stage, as well as Bret Michaels who injured himself during the big opening number. Liza Minnelli beat out Will Ferrell's George Bush impersonation for Best Special Theatrical Event - see all the winners here - but Will didn't seem to mind as he and the rest of the audience enjoyed a night filled with music and laughter.

The 2009 Tony Awards Couldn't be Any Gayer if Liza was Named Mayor
8 June 2009 3:17 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
The 63rd Annual Tony Awards aired on CBS last night, kicking off with Sir Elton John, technical glitches, Liza at her Liza-ist, tons of hot musical theater guys, hair (beautiful hair), Dolly Parton, a gaggle of flying Billy Elliots, and what may be the single greatest television moment ever filmed ... Poison lead skank Bret Michaels being cold cocked by a giant "Broadway" sign.
Oh, and all this happens in the first ten minutes!
We Are The World just isn't the same without Dan Aykroyd (All Pics: Getty)
Watching the Tony Awards is always bittersweet for me. As much as I love seeing the best of Broadway on TV every year, it brings me closer to the realization that I'll probably never see any of these shows in person. The dream of moving to New York and becoming a theater groupie dies a little each time my knees crack when I »

[DVD Review] Major League: Wild Thing Edition
22 May 2009 2:51 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Good baseball movies are hard to come by. You have Bull Durham, but even that’s a romantic comedy with baseball as an afterthought. The so-called classics are all great: For the Love of the Game, The Natural, A League of Their Own, etc. A few exist, but for the sheer volume of films made about our national pastime, you’d think we’d have gotten the “baseball movie” down to an art. Producing one Field of Dreams every 500 baseball movies isn’t a great ratio. Major League falls somewhere in that other 500; it’s neither a superb baseball movie nor a superb comedy. It simmers somewhere just below boiling and a notch above lukewarm.
It’s the premise which makes Major League such a catch. It’s the reverse of most sports films and yet it keeps to formula at the same time. The aberration from formula is the »

TV Generation: Decorating the Meerkat's Manor
12 May 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »
If you're anything like me (and my girlfriend), you love meerkats. In case you don't, let me ask how you can resist the adorable little critters, their huge eyes and their constantly wet nose? No need to answer. If you like meerkats, you're probably already familiar with Meerkat Manor, the long-running documentary / reality narrated by Bill Nighly (or Sean Astin / Stockard Channing if you live in the Us). The shows' stars like Flower, Mozart or Zaphod are so "famous" that they have their own imdb pages with enraged fans posting on Flower's message board about the need for a more detailed biography or at least putting in Flower's date of death on her resumé. Today you can read an interview with Brollyman, who gives his first interview here about doing Meerkat Manor in addition to some other animal reality programs such as Lemur Island and Lemur Street.
