During the premiere episode it begins with the death of Charlie Harper. All of his conquests show up to his funeral to make sure that he is actually dead and bash him during Alan’s eulogy. It is obvious the shows creator Chuck Lorre, who Sheen publicly insulted was getting all of his anger out during this funeral scene and made it clear, Charlie Sheen is no more.

Please, Mr. Nolan, don't screw up Catwoman… I’m pretty sure that, by the time Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises actually hits theaters on July 20th, the internet will have leaked so many “inside scoops” about the film that every spoiler-hunting fanboy will know the whole damn plot already. I try my best to avoid spoilers as much as possible before seeing any film, but I’m not perfect. So when ComingSoon.net posted pictures of Anne Hathaway in full costume as Catwoman, I couldn’t help but take a quick peek…and for the first time since this film was announced, I became truly worried about how it’ll turn out. Contrary to the grumblings of others on the internet, I think Hathaway herself will do a fine job as Selina Kyle. As Anna pointed out in yesterday’s Women in Cinema, she is an immensely talented actress who has effectively explored her dark side before. She is also gorgeous and sexy, so I never had any doubts as to her ability to rock a skintight outfit. Not that she even needs to have overt sex appeal at all, since Nolan’s Batman films have always attempted to present a costumed hero scenario in the most realistic light possible, including favoring pragmatism over aesthetic appeal. The series’ claim to realism was never its main or even secondary strength, but it’s a cool touch that has in past flown in the face of fanboy expectation (The Joker’s painted face is a good example of this). But then I glanced at these…absurd things: Read more on High Heels and Tumbler Wheels… Categories: Article

Author: Joey Magidson September 27, 2011  Few names in the film community unite actors, filmmakers, bloggers, Oscar prognosticators, publicists, and the general media in respect like John Foote does. Yes, a young man who spent his early days in Canada wanting nothing more than to play in the NHL now is one of the preeminent voices in film criticism and the Oscar race, not to mention someone quoted on DVD/Blu-Ray box art across the globe (don’t believe me? Go pick up a copy of 2010′s remake of True Grit). He’s been in print, on television, in the classroom, and now on the internet. Those who know him on a professional level know of his passion and knowledge, but those like myself who know him on a personal level can attest to his kindness, heart, and ability to make you feel like family within mere moments of meeting him. For my money, he’s one of the best voices in the industry and a great colleague to boot. Canada should be proud to cal him one of their native sons and I’m proud to call him my frend.
By conducting this interview with John, I hope to bring out who he is as a person, as well as a writer and film enthusiast. It’s a somewhat free form piece, with me spitballing out what I think you might want to know about him and John not holding back and opening himself up to you all. Don’t expect any huge revelations (he’s not who shot J.R. or anything), but expect an enjoyable look into who exactly John Foote really is. You’ll find out about his favorite films, his family, and everything in between. Enjoy!

Carlos Yes, this is technically a TV miniseries, but it’s been released theatrically as well, so it’s as much an epic film as anything else. Certain critics went absolutely nuts over this biopic of Carlos the Jackal, specifically the lead performance of Edgar Ramirez. I really liked his work in it, but found the rest to be a bit of a slog to sit through. It’s compelling at times, but not quite as much as many had made it out to be. It’s still worth checking out, especially as it’s a Criterion release, and they always do a top notch job. If you were curious what all the fuss was about last year, give it a shot… Read more on Joey’s DVD Picks of the Week (9/27/2011)… Comments: 7 Comments |

Discovering the man behind ShouldISeeIt… To the average observer, Michael Ward is the definition of the American everyman. An unassuming, workaday family man, it wouldn’t be immediately obvious that there lies a deep-seated passion for the motion picture. Indeed, his entire philosophy of reviewing films takes on a removal of self rarely seen of most critics. “My mind intuitively drifts to others when forming an opinion on a film; what would my friends think of this? My wife? Would they see it differently than I do?” Far from a simple personality quirk, this distinctive trait had been cultivated from the time he was seven years-old. “It all started when my parents gave me not only a TV set, but HBO along with it.” That was the first domino, “From that point, it was always, ‘on.’ I was not really a ‘popular kid.’ I preferred my own company and was a little reclusive.” So what was it about cinema that appealed to him at that age? “I don’t remember any specific film that ignited my interest. I do recall lots of bits and pieces of classics, and being very drawn to them. To me, their visuals and sensational presentation were more captivating than other forms of entertainment.” Read more on Digging Into: Michael Ward… Comments: 6 Comments |
