Movies We Love: When Harry Met Sally
4 November 2009 2:55 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
When Harry Met Sally (1989) No, no, you did not have great sex with Sheldon. A Sheldon can do your income taxes. If you need a root canal, Sheldon’s your man. But humpin’ and pumpin’ is not Sheldon’s strong suit. It’s the name. “Do it to me, Sheldon. You’re an animal, Sheldon. Ride me, big Shel-don.” Doesn’t work. Synopsis Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) meet while sharing a ride from Chicago to New York City after college. After some awkward situations and interesting conversation, they part ways a little less than amicably. Five years later, they bump into each other again, and once again part under less than ideal conditions. Five more years go by and both have seen their share of love’s ups and downs. This time, however, their friendship is able to blossom, and as it develops the central question of the film is tested: “Can »

What are Your Favorite Winter Holiday Themed Movies?
26 October 2009 2:39 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I wasn't quite sure how to properly word the headline for this post considering I want to make sure you understand I am talking about the season pretty much running from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but I also want to make sure you know the film itself doesn't have to necessarily be about the holidays.
Take Die Hard for instance, it's set during Christmas time, but it isn't a Christmas film. However, it fits in with what I am looking for here. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Eyes Wide Shut, Fanny and Alexander, Batman Returns, Gremlins, The Thin Man and When Harry Met Sally are other examples. Hell, I would even say Rocky IV and Lethal Weapon count. As a matter of fact, I would say the non-Christmas, Christmas movies are the more interesting additions. How about The Shining or even Psycho?
Then, of course, I personally love films such as Love, »

We’ve all gone to the movies and said “I can make a better film then that.” Personally, I’ve said that more than most, being a part-time film critic and part-time filmmaker. But how easy is it really to make the Next Great American Film? Truth is, not all that simple. To say that the stars and the planets have to align in order to make a great film is not that far from the truth. There are many, many things that can derail a film. You could hire the wrong actors, the wrong cinematographer, the equipment could fail – heck, the Kraft service table could have non-refrigerated mayo and give everyone food poisoning. However, I am of the belief that we make our own luck and that having the proper knowledge will increase our chances at success. Therefore, over the next few weeks I will be dissecting many movies »

Top 5 Movies That Scared the Hell Out of Me
3 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ya’ know, since it’s Halloween coming up at the end of the month, I thought it would be appropriate to make a list of the top 5 movies that, for whatever reason, just scared the hell out of me. It may not be the entire movie, maybe it was just a particular scene/moment; they may not be the technically Best horror movies (they may not even be strictly “horror” per se.), but just something about them had me hiding behind the pillow, jumping at every noise, looking through the cracks in my fingers, thinking about it for days afterwards, and… changing my underwear — okay, too much information…
Before I get on with the list, just know that (like every list) this is purely opinion and therefore it obviously isn’t going to match Your list. If a movie that you find particularly scary isn’t on my list then »

Crystal's Construction Woes
4 September 2009 12:11 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Billy Crystal is counting the cost of having a large family - the funnyman is anticipating a massive construction bill after various delays to the expansion of his California home.
The When Harry Met Sally star and his wife Janice will be grandparents for the third time when their daughter gives birth in October, and they were hoping to surprise their expanding family with a new play area in their Pacific Palisades home.
But the project has been hit by a slew of setbacks - and Crystal admits he has no idea how expensive the invoice will be when he's billed for the home improvements.
He says, "They (the builders) have been there way too long... They've been there 18 months and the foreman says it's going to be another six or seven... Years? Who knows.
"Basically we have Iraq next door. We don't know when it's stopping, how much it's going to cost us... It's been awful." »

Movie History: Journey Back To 1984
25 August 2009 10:15 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I have been following Aaron Aradillas and Matt Zoller Seitz's video features detailing what they refer to as "A Tale of Two Summers," which re-examines summer movies released in 1984 and 1989 and putting them in context of the politics and popular culture that surrounded their release and tries to show how they eventually led to the entertainment that dominates today. The series is featured at L Magazine as well as being posted at The House Next Door (keep your eyes on that site, it's a good one) and Parts 1 and 2, covering 1984, are both online. The following parts 3-5 will be looking at the summer of 1989. With these two parts the boys take a look at Reagan, Ghostbusters, MTV, soundtracks, Risky Business, Sixteen Candles, Purple Rain, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Red Dawn, Gremlins, Steven Spielberg and the advent of the PG-13 rating, They aren't short, but if you »

Turned On, Tuned In: The Indie “O” Face
24 August 2009 7:08 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What's turning me on this week? Justin Nowell's "O" face. And sweaty naked Filipinos. There's a lot of sex in movies these days, and, I'd argue -- even more of it in independent film. Independent and/or arthouse movies have largely championed what I believe to be the paramount intent of the art form that is 'film' -- that is, pushing boundaries, re-framing cultural issues, and using a visual story-telling format to express alternative ways and means of comprehending things close, foreign, and completely inimitable. Truly independent film largely skirts the burden of having to be a marketable piece of cinema, and, as such, can (thankfully) challenge us in several areas -- one being the collective sexual identity of humankind. And that's where I find myself today, finding Sex-as-a-concept dripping all over artful entertainment. In the indie vehicle World's Greatest Dad, the issue of auto-erotic masturbation (one that's cropped up all over the place in the »

The Motion/Captured Review: 'Julie & Julia' offers simple story of self-definition
10 August 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Nora Ephron has made a long and successful career out of making films I don't much care for, and more power to her. Honestly, probably the film she directed that I most liked before this was "This Is My Life," her early '90s debut. Her work before that as a writer, I'm a little more fond of, like "My Blue Heaven" or "When Harry Met Sally" or, most notably, "Heartburn," an affable if not entirely successful film based on her own real life. It's not that I hate her movies... "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless In Seattle" seem entirely successful at... »
Cinema release inspirations including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
7 August 2009 3:06 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
Morning Boxwishers and say a big hello to your weekend. Here in the UK, the weather is promising to be as dismal and depressing as ever so we’re pleased to report that there’s quite an interesting range of new movies on theatrical release from today. Although it hasn’t really been helped by a muted promotional campaign, there’s big-budget action on offer with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, raunchy romance in The Ugly Truth and scares a-plenty in horror Orphan. So avoid the rain by heading down to your local cinema and pretend this isn’t a dreary wash-out summer.
If you see… Explosive action adventure G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra in which the elite military team called G.I. Joe take on the villainous organisation known as Cobra, starring Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller.

Adam – Interview with Hugh Dancy & Rose Byrne
4 August 2009 5:48 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne are charmers. Ok, maybe their accents have something to do with it, but the bottom line is this: These are two impressive actors who have just made an impressive film about a relatively obscure social disorder. Asperger’s Syndrome limits one’s ability to fit in. It makes it next to impossible to see the world through anyone else’s eyes but your own, and keeps the world at a distance most of us couldn’t fathom. As the title character, Dancy delivers a devastatingly honest performance as a bright young man who’s enslaved by routine for fear that his entire world would cripple on the weight of change. When a new, attractive neighbor moves in (Byrne) below him, he’s enticed, but unsure how to go about pursuing a relationship.

Can a Man and Woman be just friends?
1 August 2009 10:21 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
The question on a man-woman friendship has always remained unsolved. Some say they can be “just” friends and others say it is not possible. Hum Tum which was inspired from Hollywood film When Harry Met Sally, gave witty reasons on why a man and woman cannot be ‘just’ friends. So on the occasion of Friendship Day we decided to call-up our telly stars on TellyCafé and ask them what they have to say on- Ladka Lakdi kabhi dost nahi ho saktein

I do believe that a man and a woman can be just good friends. I have experienced, and also think that opposite sex can. »

Romantic Comedy-Con
28 July 2009 8:34 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Drew Dernavich, cartoonist for the New Yorker, really wanted to be sent to the San Diego Comic-Con this year. He didn't get that lucky:
Unfortunately, I was sent to cover the 2009 Romantic Comedy-Con, held—where else?—at the top of the Empire State Building, the place where Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks finally met in “Sleepless in Seattle.” It’s a little crowded for a convention, but it’s being catered by—who else?—Katz’s Deli, the scene of Meg Ryan’s famous “orgasm” in “When Harry Met Sally.” Every joker up here thinks it’s so funny to eat a grilled cheese and then do their best fake moaning scene, and it’s getting tiresome.
When people go to the Comic-Con, they make these elaborate costumes and attend as Spider Man or Ninja Turtles or Darth Vader, so I thought I’d try and attend the Romantic Comedy-Con in the same spirit. »

Katherine Heigl: The Truth About Her Underwear
24 July 2009 11:36 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
If The Ugly Truth hits it big at the box office this weekend, be prepared for a nationwide shortage of vibrating panties. In the romantic comedy, Katherine Heigl plays Abby, a buttoned-up television producer who spars with a chauvinistic TV commentator played by Gerard Butler. In one scene, Abby accidentally finds herself being sexually satisfied by a pair of remote-control lacy underwear...during a business dinner in a restaurant! While Heigl's work may not be up there with Meg Ryan's iconic pseudoclimax in When Harry Met Sally, she bravely shows no restraint in her moaning, groaning and body-trembling performance. With that in mind, we thought we'd hit up some sexperts to get the inside... »
Review: The Ugly Truth
24 July 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Somewhere in Hollywood I believe there's a conference room that is used for one purpose: to completely deconstruct When Harry Met Sally (1989). The walls are covered with script pages, movie stills, charts, diagrams, lists of actors, character traits, keywords, jokes and many other things. Several times a year, some men in suits enter this room. These men can see and understand all the elements that made the movie successful. They understand that Meg Ryan's Sally was neurotic and tightly wound, and they understand that Billy Crystal's Harry was slightly crude (lovably so) and free-willed. They understand that Sally's fake orgasm in the restaurant was a huge crowd-pleaser.
However, they don't understand the imprecise factors, things like human interaction, and romance and chemistry, things that happen all by themselves during a lucky production and can't be planned or replicated. But they nevertheless cobble together a few rough ideas and greenlight the next romantic comedy. »

The Ugly Truth
24 July 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Cast: Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler
Running Time: 1 hr 40 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: July 24, 2009
Plot: In order to save her news show, a conservative producer (Heigl) reluctantly enlists the help of a man (Butler) who offers dating advice on a segment called “The Ugly Truth.”
Who’s It For? The R-rated dating crowd that only like the illusion of seeing a movie empowering to both men and women. Though it’s written by three women and even produced by Heigl, The Ugly Truth has much more of a “men”tality than one would expect.
Expectations: Considering the compelling casting, I had hopes that this would be a funny relationship comedy with some genuine laughs. I was even thinking this movie could enlighten us onto how the opposite sex thinks.

'The Ugly Truth': Failure To Raunch, By Kurt Loder

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, just right in the wrong picture.
Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in "The Ugly Truth"

"The Ugly Truth" is an attempted Judd Apatow movie — a raunchy romance — that fails not only to raise the bar, but even to reach it. Apatow, both as a director ("Knocked Up") and as a producer working with directors in his orbit ("Superbad," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") understands the liberating power of boldly scabrous dialogue and boundary-nudging sexual situations, and he embraces them. The makers of "The Ugly Truth" are reticent by comparison, which is the kiss of tedium.
The actors are superior to the trite material. Katherine Heigl plays Abby, a Sacramento TV producer who's so hard-up for dates that she has to troll the Internet in search of Mr. Right. (Again: Katherine Heigl.) The happy-talk news show she produces, hosted by a bickering married couple (Cheryl »

Women are from Heart, men are from Penis in The Ugly Truth, one of those romantic comedies that vows to cut through all the usual relationship bullshit while serving it up in heaping spoonfuls. Though tarted up with the R-rated vulgarity of a genre that’s usually PG-13, the film grafts setpieces from popular favorites like When Harry Met Sally… (the orgasm scene) and Roxanne (the balcony scene) onto an opposites-attract scenario about an uptight control freak looking for love and an alpha-male cretin who represents everything she hates about men. Will these two bickering ninnies turn their friction into ... »
Paper Heart Review
21 July 2009 10:54 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Paper Heart is a quirky hybrid of improvised fiction and outlined documentary about discovering true love. The rare combination of genres is clever, but is as awkward as its cast. It played in competition at the Sundance Film Festival, which seems like just the sort of audience to embrace this oddball indie.
Los Angeles comedienne Charlyne Yi doesn’t believe in love or that she’s capable of feeling it, so she embarks on a road trip across the country with director Nicholas Jasenovec (played by Jake Johnson) to learn how others perceive the emotion. Yi discusses the chemistry of coupling with university professors, high school seniors, actual seniors, and an Elvis impersonator, who all give equally vague answers about what it means to them.
The interviews include heartfelt shares that refreshingly aren’t mocked or commented on by the documentarians. Though sometimes their sweet stories are reenacted by hand-made puppets in two dimensional sets. »
