President Obama apparently wishes he could “go Bulworth,” though apparently without the awkward rapping (New York Times)

Since the Stefon character has never even sustained a sketch, you’d think it wouldn’t ever be part of a movie, and Bill Hader confirms that in an interview (GQ)

Reasons to be nervous about the return of Arrested…

Adrian Diaconescu — Fri, 17 May 2013 19:30:09 +0000

With “Oblivion” out for only a few weeks and “After Earth” set for a May 31 release, you’d think the slate is pretty full already for post-apocalyptic sci-fi flicks in Hollywood, right? Wrong, or at least wrong, according to some. Namely, according to Tobey Maguire, Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried and Chiwetel Ejiofor, all of which more »

‘Zombieland’ Series DOA – and It’s the Fans that Killed It

Bill Gibron — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:30:35 +0000

It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. With the film a true cult classic and AMC’s ‘Walking Dead‘ a commercial – and social media – powerhouse, why not turn the likeable comedy ‘Zombieland’ into a web series. Heck, something similar was the intention right from the start, according to movie scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick….

Watch De Niro, Freeman and Douglas Like You’ve Never Seen Them Before in ‘Last Vegas’ Teaser

Adrian Diaconescu — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:30:48 +0000

It’s usually difficult to tell how good a movie will be based simply on a 60-second teaser trailer, but you’d think even five seconds of watching Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas together would be enough to tell you “Last Vegas” is going to be epic.

Only it isn’t. Quite on the contrary, as the upcoming comedy’s teaser looks… awkward. In fact, the…

James Franco, You Have Competition: Scarlett Johansson To Make Directorial Debut Soon

Adrian Diaconescu — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:30:39 +0000

I don’t mean to be snarky (well, no more than usual), but is everyone in Hollywood a director nowadays? Angelina Jolie helmed a… thing back in 2011, James Franco’s latest is to compete in Cannes, Ryan Gosling’s “How to Catch a Monster” is set for a 2014 premiere, and now Scarlett Johansson is ready to make her…

Coming Soon From ESPN’s 30 For 30: Jimmy Connors, Tonya Harding and the Detroit Bad Boys

ESPN’s 30 For 30 series

Since its launch four years ago, ESPN’s 30 For 30 documentary series has specialized in going in depth on sports events that may not be household stories on the level of, say, the Miracle on Ice, but that most adults probably remember at least vaguely.

The next batch of 30 For 30 docs seem largely to follow that pattern, according to some…

DVD Review: Dark Circles

Steve Anderson — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:01:13 +0000

It’s an exciting time of year, folks, and though it may come out at a different time every year, it’s been showing up for the last six years now. The annual block of releases from After Dark has begun, and our friends out at Lionsgate have sent out a copy of the first release of the year, “Dark Circles.” This one hits shelves May 21, so mark your calendars, because this is some truly fantastic stuff.

“Dark Circles” joins us with new parents Alex and Penny. It’s an important time in their lives, but it’s also a time that’s very, very short on sleep. Couple the recent childbirth with a move to a little house in the country, and that’s a recipe for even less sleep than normal. In fact, it’s starting to look like a downright dangerous level of sleep deprivation as Alex and Penny are starting to…

Roger Sterling and Joan Harris To Get Back Together for Upcoming ‘God’s Pocket’ Feature Film

Adrian Diaconescu — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:30:30 +0000

It’s never nice to sum up an actor’s career to just one role, especially when said actor’s filmography includes over 50 titles, but John Slattery will always be Roger Sterling for us TV buffs. And upon hearing Sterling will team up with Joan Harris (aka Christina Hendricks) for an upcoming big-screen project, there’s only one more »

For a time, it looked like Guillermo Del Toro was never going to get a movie made after Universal failed to fund his ambitious take on H. P. Lovecraft’s ‘At the Mountains of Madness’.

No other director working today has his name attached to more stalled projects than the Mexican horror geek. Heck, this is the guy who walked…

Because Part 1 Left Too Many Unanswered Questions…It’s “V/H/S 2″

Bill Gibron — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:30:21 +0000

A surreal combination of found footage horror and oddball analog worship, Magnet Releasing’s 2012 indie fright flick “V/H/S” became a certified cult classic with fans rabid for more, more, more! Now, another all-star gathering behind the lens, including “The Blair Witch Project”‘s Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale, Gareth Evans (“The Raid”), and Adam Wingard (“You’re more »
