Paul Dano is a busy man 2008-03-04 13:49:00 I know I should get back to some of the other entertainment mediums, but I can't get enough of film nowadays.
Gigantic, an indie romantic comedy from director Matt Aselton started filming yesterday (March 3rd) with a cast that includes Paul Dano, Zooey Deschanel, Ed Asner, Jane Alexander and John Goodman. The film follows Brian (Dano), a depressed mattress salesman who is attempting to adopt a
There Will Be Beauty 2008-03-03 22:31:00 I can't get over that freaking ending.
That being said I'd like to rescind my previous statement about No Country for Old Men being perfection personified. After allowing a few days for it all to sink in, I cannot get over my dislike for the abrupt ending of that film. There's just something about it, but without revealing any plot points, I really can't go into it. Just see the movie and let Read more:Beauty
God Bless Judd Apatow 2008-03-02 21:20:00 We all know that the man's name is currently equivalent to comic genius, but let's take a look at some of his upcoming projects (as a producer on all of them) and see if they hold up to the high bar he has set himself. First, Drillbit Taylor, the Owen Wilson-vehicle set to debut March 21st.
The movie looks to have its moments, but may not be the comedic knockout that was 40-Year Old Virgin, Read more:Bless
One Hell Of A Movie For Any Man (Or Woman) 2008-03-01 21:52:00 I just got back from a showing of No Country for Old Men at my local theater and I can say this much, I cannot say a good thing about it...for to call this movie "good" would be an insult; this movie is perfection personified.
Because I'm much too lazy to write my own plot summary, here's the one off of IMDB:
"In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug
Bourne-Again 2008-02-26 13:29:00 Variety.com recently published an article on Universal Studios. The article itself wasn't all that interesting, but the news that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass, despite original claims that the series would be wrapped up by the end of The Bourne
Ultimatum, are signed on for a 4th Bourne Film is exciting news indeed. Seeing as how the series got better and better with each film (as well as richer Read more:Again
Everybody's Getting Some! 2008-02-26 01:56:00 Well, everyone but me, that is.
Anyway, as everybody knows, Sarah Silverman is f*cking Matt Damon.
In response, Jimmy Kimmel is f*cking Ben Affleck, with some help from a star-studded cast.
Now, in an attempt to capture some attention for his latest film, Zach and Miri Make A Porno, Kevin Smith debuted the following video on QuickStop Entertainment. Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to Read more:Everybody
Congratulations 2008-02-25 01:31:00 It is my belief that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences deserves a nice round of applause. Reason being: they didn't screw up. With an 80th anniversary, a major awards show is almost bound to go too over-the-top and either make things to complicated for the viewer to enjoy or, and this is the big one, forget about the actual awards and hand them out to the wrong films. Not that Read more:Congratulations

The Dark Knight 2008-02-20 13:45:00 I don't know how many of you are Batman fans out there, but I'll tell you this, regardless of whether you own the comics in single issues (that would be me) or would never think to even go near a multiplex hosting a comic book movie, you have to check out The Dark Knight
when it premieres in July.
Yes, Heath Ledger's death with impact the movie greatly (if in no other way but to bolster ticket
An Array of Pop Culture 2008-02-19 14:59:00 Why hello there, fancy seeing you here.
Sorry it's been awhile, yours truly accidently destroyed the power cord to his laptop, watched the last of its power disappear and has now been without a computer since Thursday. But this is not a legitimate excuse to leave you all hanging (I know everyone's dying to here what I have to say), so here it goes.
First and foremost: Rainydayz, check it out. If Read more:Array

Shameless Self-Promotion 2008-02-13 16:12:00 Now I'm not one to normally shamelessly plug myself in any format, but I think you all might appreciate this:
The Pinheads
If any of you are fans of the 80s and/or are looking for a band to play a gig of any sort (house party, birthday party, wedding, etc.), we're the band for you! This video is from LVC's recent Battle of the Bands in which we were first runner up. We will be appearing on Read more:Shameless
Parade 2008-02-08 16:22:00 Now I know this news is a little old, but I feel the need to post it anyway.
In October 2007, I was wandering around the streets of London, more specifically the theater district (known as the West End) when I came across the Donmar Warehouse. This tiny theater houses a number of productions throughout the year and at one point was artistically directed by Sam Mendes, director of films such as Read more:Parade
The Dark Knight, 10,000 B.C. 2008-03-10 12:40:00 Sorry it's been awhile folks.
Anyway, first up: The New York Times published an article yesterday on The Dark Knight
, featuring an on-set interview with Christopher Nolan, among others. Just a heads up, there is a spoiler in the very first paragraph and it is stated without any warning. It shouldn't ruin the movie, but it's shocking. That being said, /Film reported the same spoiler almost a
New Muppets Movie! 2008-03-13 08:26:00 Variety reported that Jason Segal and Nick Stoller, the star/writer and director respectively of the Judd Apatow-produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall, are on board to write a new Muppets
movie with Stoller directing. The duo's goal is restore the Muppets to their former glory. The recent films have tried to dumb down jokes to appeal to a younger audience, but never quite reached the genius of the
Now That's a Movie Theater 2008-03-18 15:40:00 Read this article...
Then answer me this...who wants to go on a roadtrip?
By the way, I'm serious, this sounds too awesome not to do it.
One Big, Hairy Mess 2008-03-20 13:11:00 You know who that is?
Benicio Del Toro in Joe Johnston's The Wolfman as the title character. Cool, right?
Here's an excerpt from a interview done by Entertainment Weekly with make-up artist Rich Baker, the man behind the make-up in American Werewolf In London:
EW: How much did you update the makeup from the [1941] original?
Rick Baker: It’s actually more frightening. But I still wanted to be

Laura Bush Has Never Been This Sexy 2008-03-26 13:34:00 That's really creepy to say. Really really creepy. But before I get into that, I want to apologize for my lack of updates. Life has been pretty hectic as of late, but I'm back on the horse and ready to ride.
Anyway, Oliver Stone is working on another (undoubtedly biased, but very well made) political piece. It goes by W. and, you guessed it, is a bio-pic of President George W. Bush. The Read more:Laura

Charlton Heston Dies 2008-04-06 17:28:00 I know this is a day late, but it's still news. Academy Award-winning actor Charlton
Heston died Saturday at his Beverly Hills home at age 83 with his wife Lydia at his side. The cause of death has not been released, although the actor had been diagnosed with symptoms similar to those of Alzheimer’s disease. Heston’s filmography included: Ben-Hur, El Cid, The Omega Man, The Big Country, Touch of
Shel Silverstein is Back... 2008-04-10 12:36:00 ...or at least his work is. Here's an article off of Paste magazine's website:
"In honor of National Poetry Month, HarperCollins Children’s Books and Water Records are re-issuing some of Shel Silverstein’s lesser-known works. Although famous for his classic children’s books, Silverstein, who died in 1999, was also a composer and songwriter. Included in the re-issue are five different works
The Laramie Project 2008-04-11 23:05:00 This is a bit of shameless self-promotion. If you are free this weekend or next, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop by The Laramie Project
in Leedy Theater. I'm stage-managing the show and we played for a full audience tonight and they loved it. It is an extremely challenging piece of theater and one that makes you think. Whether you agree with its message or not, it is a worthwhile piece
