Sundance Selects Keeps the Devil Away from 'White Lightnin'
12 December 2009 6:25 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Ask me what the most ambitious films are of the year, and so far I might point you to Dominic Murphy’s White Lightnin’ - a crazy piece of filmmaking that merits a "genre" label of its own. The pic was a recent winner Hitchcock D’Or at the Dinard Film Festival and grabbed the headlines less than 48 hours ago for winning big at the Mumbai Film Festival. Screen Daily reports that Sundance Selects won't leave this small in stature film orphaned in the backwoods for much longer. - Ask me what the most ambitious films are of the year, and so far I might point you to Dominic Murphy’s White Lightnin’ - a crazy piece of filmmaking that merits a "genre" label of its own.

'House' recap: Dr. Wilson's war
1 December 2009 8:34 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I wanted to love last night's House, and there were parts of it I really dug: Wilson is the most underused character on the show, and getting a whole episode devoted to Robert Sean Leonard was a real treat. But the plotting felt sort of off to me, so while it hit some true emotional notes, the path to that payoff didn't quite click. We opened on House's lack of house-guesting manners and the welcome thrill of hearing Hugh Laurie rock out on "Faith." Wilson was headed off to his annual hunting trip (Parks and Recreation shout out?) with a »

Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre Presents The Producers 9/11-11/7
7 November 2009 12:30 AM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
The show broke countless box office records and won every theatre award imaginable, including 12 Tonys in 2001, more than any production in history. It began as a movie, made its way to Broadway, and then found itself back on the silver screen. Now, the smash-hit musical comedy The Producers comes to the Frederick stage for the very first time!
From 2001 to 2007, the hottest tickets on the Great White Way were for Mel Brooks' first musical, which was based on his 1968 film about a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant who come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive Springtime For Hitler), hiring a director, »

Review: The House Of The Devil
1 November 2009 3:45 PM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
A few years back, after the Grindhouse craze was running rampant thanks to Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s own Grindhouse project, fanboys around the world were throwing out director’s names, filmmakers whom they thought could also achieve that style of the grindhouse flick that Tarantino, Rodriguez, and the handful of directors behind the faux trailers achieved. There is no question that, with The House Of The Devil, Ti West’s name is firmly in that camp, as, not only does he capture the retro look and feel of those ’80s, horror films, he has crafted a thriller whose style and substance match in an uncomfortable web of moody narrative and grainy environment. The film is a throwback, yes, but it also launches such a foreboding tone towards the audience that, once the film delves into out-and-out bloodbath, it feels somewhat of a letdown.

DVD Review: Hell Ride
25 October 2009 11:04 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
As twilight descends on Quentin Tarantino’s contribution to nineties American cinema, fewer filmmakers are writing scripts with a copy of Pulp Fiction’s in hand for reference. A new filmmaker might reason that Tarantino is so successfully parodying himself these days that they’d be making a copy of a copy and it’s hardly worth it. But for those still in thrall to the magpie’s ouveur and determined to make knock off versions of the movies that electrified 90’s audiences, there’s still one man in Hollywood who’s willing to back them – er, Quentin Tarantino.
Hell Ride is such a movie – a low rent affair produced by Tarantino and the Weinsteins and featuring Dennis Hopper, the late David Carradine and Michael Madsen in parts so slight that you can imagine their participation was gained for a modest outlay of girls, grams and glug, probably at a »

TV Review: USA Connects Again With Entertaining ‘White Collar’
23 October 2009 11:39 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The creative roll of the USA Network continues tonight with the debut of another quick, clever, mystery-of-the-week series that should satisfy fans of their hits like “Monk,” “Psych,” “Burn Notice,” and “Royal Pains”. “White Collar” doesn’t break any molds, almost fitting too predictably into the USA dynamic, but it’s an entertaining program for the end of a long week and looks likely to be another slam dunk for one of the most successful cable networks of the ’00s.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
“White Collar” practically feels like a hybrid of USA hits from its plot description alone. It features international conspiracies a la “Burn Notice” but does so with a buddy duo like “Psych” and is set in the world of the uber-wealthy like “Royal Pains”. Of course, being derivative means little to viewers of a show like this as long as it’s entertaining and “White Collar” is surprisingly so, »

[TV] Red Dwarf: Back to Earth - The Director's Cut
16 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Though it has never managed to achieve anything beyond cult status in the Us (a planned American remake never made it past a pilot) Red Dwarf has steadily evolved in its native Britain from a quirky sci-fi sitcom into a veritable cultural institution as one of the most beloved comedy series of all time. Originally a short radio play titled Dave Hollins: Space Cadet, penned by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, Red Dwarf is a sci-fi slacker comedy about a lazy, drunken slob named Dave Lister (Craig Charles). Lister has no ambition, the personal hygiene of a homeless teenager, and subsists on a diet consisting entirely of curry and lager. He also happens to be the last human being in the universe.
Marooned in deep space aboard the mining ship Red Dwarf on which he served after three million years in hyper-sleep, Lister’s long, arguably fruitless journey back to »

TV Fanatic: How did you get the role of Clarence Wilcox on The Good Wife?
Cook: The role of Clarence came across our desk at a time when the episodic season is reasonably slow. Needless to say, I wasn't as busy as I would have liked to have been. We (my agent and manager) read the script and were very happy with the development of »

Zombieland Reviews
1 October 2009 1:55 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When you hear that Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg are co-starring in a movie, you think it's probably a remake of The Odd Couple. Instead it's a zombie movie with reviews on par with 2004's zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead.
"Zombieland is a movie made by horror nerds for their fellow fright dweebs. Those who've spent way too many dateless Saturday nights poring over the collective oeuvre of George Romero, Lucio Fulci, and Stuart Gordon will instantly fall in love with this sly combination of satire, slapstick, and splatter."
— Bill Gibron, filmcritic.com
"...a polished, very funny road picture shaped by wisenheimer cable-tv sensibilities and starring four likable actors, each with an influential following."
— Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"Zombieland leans heavily on the comedy side of the horror-comedy equation. For a zombie movie, it's largely devoid of suspense and scares; instead, it focuses on the comic possibilities of four »

The Blu-Ray Review: The Hannibal Lecter Collection - Manhunter (1986)
30 September 2009 10:16 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Colin J reviews the very first Lecter movie on Blu-Ray.
Though it didn't perform particularly well in 1986, Manhunter earned greater prominence after the success of 1991's Silence of the Lambs. The two projects share the same writer - Thomas Harris - and a few characters. Most prominent among these is the infamous Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter, the role made immensely famous by Anthony Hopkins in Lambs. On the original DVD case of Manhunter, we were repeatedly reminded that the 1986 film showed Lecter first, and allegedly did him better. According to the package, Entertainment Weekly declared Manhunter to be "superior to Lambs". The case also "warns" us that "fans and critics alike consider Manhunter to be far superior to Lambs... as well as one of the most unnerving serial killer movies ever made."
What a crock! As a critic and a fan, I take serious exception to the awfully broad brush with which these folks painted. »

Remembering John Hughes (1950 - 2009)
10 August 2009 2:47 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it... deadpans a squeeky little Mathew Broderick to camera. It's a line I've heard and read and had quoted at me since I was 10. Before we all grew up and discovered that the titular character was really nothing but an annoying, manipulative, little punk, there was something about Ferris Bueller that made every high school kid want to skip school and tell the whole world they were "Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago" at fancy restaurants. There was always another part of me that was horribly disappointed when my own detentions didn't feature a dance off or shed any light on the jock, the cute quiet girl, the cool guy, the nerd or the priss at my own little town high school... of course, bringing Kelly Le Brock to life in »

On August 5th, 2009, Neil Simon's classic comedy The Odd Couple rounds off the summer season at the Ivoryton Playhouse.
