Academy Award winner Colin Firth celebrated his 52nd birthday this week. Born September 10th, 1960, in Grayshott, Hampshire, Firth busted on to the scene with his performance as Mr. Darcy in a television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (1995). Before that he had worked on stage, on screen, and in several other television productions.

We have been waiting for the trailer for Steven Spielberg’s historical biopic, Lincoln, for months and from where I’m standing today, it was well worth the wait. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as the titular 16th President of the United States in a role that seems almost certain to land him his fifth Academy Award nomination (and, perhaps, his third win). The biographical drama takes place at the end of the Civil War, and focuses on Lincoln’s pursuit to abolish slavery and deliver the Emancipation Proclamation, while he desperately tries to hold a divided nation together. Check out the trailer after the jump!

IFC Films has acquired the Noah Baumbach film ‘Frances Ha’
Greta Gerwig co-wrote and stars in this festival hit...
Author: Joey Magidson
September 13, 2012
Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the festival season so far is the news that Noah Baumbach’s somewhat secret project ‘Frances Ha’ has turned into one of the biggest crowd pleasers at Telluride and Toronto. A true collaboration with Greta Gerwig (who helped write the screenplay), it’s now going to be distributed by IFC films, who’s acquired the flick. Could it come out and make a play for awards this year? After the jump I’ll get into that a bit, but either way this seems like a movie to look forward to. Read on for more below…

GREAT EXPECTATIONS (***)…It was not so very long ago that a version of this classic novel by Charles Dickens starring Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert de Niro and Anne Bancroft was in movie theaters. That adaptation was very good, however modernized, with strong performances from the entire cast, and a fine sense of the essence of the book. How many versions of this film have there been? Far too many I think, and yet no one is making a new version of A Tale of Two Cities, in my mind, the greatest novel Dickens ever wrote. Can you imagine Leonardo di Caprio with Anne Hathaway or Natalie Portman in a period version of A Tale of Two Cities? God the possibilities for the film are endless. Alas that film has yet to be made, and instead I sat through another adaptation of Great Expectations, one of his very best novels and a very fine film.

Getting a ‘Liberal Arts’ Degree from Josh Radnor and cast!
I interviewed the filmmaker along with Richard Jenkins and Elizabeth Olsen...
Author: Joey Magidson
September 13, 2012
On Monday I was invited to take part in a series of interviews with writer/director/actor Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, and Richard Jenkins in honor of the impending release of Radnor’s sophomore feature ‘Liberal Arts’. It’s not any sort of secret that I loved the film (found here), so this was a Press Day to look forward to. I’d actually met Radnor once before, and I’ll tell that mildly amusing story a bit later, but it was nice to get to talk to him again. All three were very enjoyable to speak with, and in the case of Jenkins it was one of the most pleasant chats I’ve had in a long time. The man is a real sweetheart. I’ve got the highlights of the interviews to share with you below, and they’re split between a two person talk with Radnor and Olsen, as well as one with just Jenkins. The movie is a joy to talk about, so there was no shortage of discussion points, from literature to Kenyon College (the unnamed school the flick is set at which Radnor, along with most of my girlfriend’s family, attended). Enough preview though, let’s get into it and see the highlights I recorded during the ‘Liberal Arts’ Press Day with Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, and Richard Jenkins!

Could ‘Hitchcock’ get an Oscar qualifying run this year?
The film might follow the lead of 'Promised Land' and debut late in 2012 for awards consideration...
Author: Joey Magidson
September 13, 2012
We all know by now that the Gus Van Sant film ‘Promised Land’ is going to be getting a 2012 qualifying release to try and get some Oscar love this year, but it might not be the only flick pulling this maneuver. After supposedly committing to a 2013 release, the movie ‘Hitchcock‘ could be looking to a late December release, though it’s hardly more than a rumor right now. It’s an interesting enough one to consider, hence this post. I think the film itself would do better next year, especially Anthony Hopkins as the title character, but perhaps they’re looking to give Scarlett Johansson a push for her role as Janet Leigh, and that could work in another weak year for the ladies like this one. After the jump you can get a reminder of what the film is about, but stay tuned for more official word on this rumor. Read on for more below…

As many of you are aware before I became a film critic, before I started writing criticism twenty five years ago I had a life as a stage director and even today I can sometimes be enticed, with the right play, to direct. For about ten years I directed some of the finest American plays ever written including Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, The Shadow Box, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the works of Tennessee Williams. The greatest challenges were always the works of Williams, who wrote with such beautiful language he often contradicted the dubious goings on within the play with that gorgeous language. Williams wrote about abuse, sex, nymphomania, dysfunction, lust, cannibalism and all sorts of horrors from the human condition (not that sex is horrible). Watching The Paperboy, I thought about Williams and how he might have written had he lived today. His private life was one of despair, bath houses, one night stands, strange sex with stranger men, and experimentation with gay sex. Would these things work their way into his writing if he were alive and writing today? Maybe. If Williams had wrote a film today it might be The Paperboy, though the language is not as pretty. I kept thinking of the word lurid. Read more on TIFF: The Paperboy (**)…

There goes the three-night premiere of NBC’s The Voice! I’m going to apologize ahead of time if I seem a bit worn down. Not one, not two, but three episodes into Season Three has me wondering whether I’ll make it for the long haul. As much as I may whine and bitch, you know I’ll be hooked right up until they announce the undeserving winner, I start cursing, then I return for another season of addictive torture. Oh The Voice, how you have me in your clutches! Without further ado, it’s time to get underway with who impressed and depressed yours truly. I will also be including some Week One rankings for both the contestants and the coaches. Word of warning: the prognosticator in me will never die, so as a wise child once said on a forgotten show called Kid Nation, “DEAL WITH IT!” Here we go…
