Great episodes of good shows: What are your 'time capsule' episodes?

21 September 2009 3:14 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

I watched a preview of tonight's season premiere of House, and without giving anything away, I can say that it's really, really good. I loved it, and I hope you love it -- but nothing will ever come close to season 1's "Three Stories" for me. That was the episode where House went from being a show I liked to a show I loved, from being good to proving it had the capacity to be great. I think of these as time capsule episodes, the ones I'd want future societies to see so they could think "my my, this ancient civilization had marvelous taste and popular art." It's the episode where a series really plants its flag and says, "no, this is what our show is about." For example... Big Love, "Come Ye Saints" I was lukewarm on the first season of Bl, liked the second season enough, but this »

Eleven-year-old Bella Thorne will play not the niece of Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and daughter of Cindy (Judith Hoag) as previously reported, but will instead take the role of Barb's daughter Tancy, to replace Jolean Wejbe, who played the role during Big Love's first three seasons.

Thorne has appeared on Entourage, The Oc, and in five episodes of the now canceled Dirty Sexy Money. She also played Christian Slater's daughter on the NBC series My Own Worst Enemy. Her Big Love character will reportedly have deep anger issues.

DVD Review: HBO Brings Home Emmy Contenders ‘Flight of the Conchords,’ ‘Grey Gardens’

12 August 2009 4:28 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Two of HBO’s most acclaimed and beloved programs of the last year just hit DVD and both packages are worth the pick-up for anyone who considers themselves a serious collector of TV on DVD - “Flight of the Conchords: Season Two” and “Grey Gardens”. Both were nominated for multiple Emmys, standing among the best television of 2008 and 2009.

DVD Rating: 4.0/5.0 Let’s start with the comedy. The second-and-superior season of “Flight of the Conchords” continues the adventures of Emmy-nominated Jemaine Clement and his partner Bret McKenzie as the New Zealand’s “4th Most Popular Folk Parody Duo” trying to make it big in the States.

Flight of the Conchords: Season Two was released on DVD on August 4th, 2009.

With its sublimely twisted sense of humor and catchy-as-hell soundtrack “Flight of the Conchords” gets under your skin. The season premiere, in which the boys fire their manager, »

DVD Playhouse--August 2009

DVD Playhouse—August 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Watchmen—Director’S Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Fragments Review

3 August 2009 9:53 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Fragments, while it does have fleeting glimmers of hope, is a film that never realizes its full potential. The marketing for the film suggests that it bears some similarity to Paul Haggis’ Academy Award winning film Crash. The similarities are merely superficial. An ensemble cast united by a tragic event is about as close as the two films get. Fragments, while making a few inlays into the festival circuit, never found theatrical release and is only available on DVD. The film is also listed under two titles: Winged Creatures (which is the name of the Roy Freirich novel on which the film is based) and Fragments.

I’d keep this one off your queue

Fragments tells the story of various characters who find themselves in a small town diner as a tragic and random event transpires. A lone gunman, for no specified reason, murders patrons before turning the gun on himself. »

'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' Veteran To Appear on 'Big Love'

19 July 2009 6:05 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Law & Order: Svu veteran Adam Beach is set to go on board for HBO polygamist drama Big Love's fourth season for a season-long recurring role as Tommy Flute, the son of Bill's (Bill Paxton) partner, the head of the Indian Gaming Casino Jerry Flute (Robert Beltran). Beach, 36, is best known for his roles as Marine Private First Class Ira Hayes in Flags of Our Fathers and Private Ben Yahzee in Windtalkers.

The HBO drama announced previously that it was on a lookout for two additions to its cast, including Barb's (Jeanne Tripplehorn) pre-teen niece and Cindy's (Judith Hoag) daughter and closeted gay Mormon and new Trustee of the Juniper Creek Assets who might also be a love interest for Alby (Matt Ross). Since Beach's role isn't any of these two things, Big Love is still looking for the two new characters.

First-time Emmy nominees include Oscar, Grammy and Tony champs

16 July 2009 2:10 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

While some performers are Emmy veterans – like "Damages" star Glenn Close, who made it an even dozen nods today –  others, such as her Oscar-winning costar William Hurt, are new to the dance. Hurt – who won the lead actor Oscar in 1985 for "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and picked up a supporting actor in a drama series Emmy nod today –  is not the only Oscar champ in contention for an acting Emmy for the first time this year. While 1984 best actress Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine("Terms of Endearment") won one of her five Emmy bids for variety specials in the 1970s and 1980s, her nod today as lead actress in a movie or mini-series for "Coco Chanel" is her first recognition by the TV academy for her acting. And 1988 supporting actor Oscar champ Kevin Kline("A Fish Called Wanda") earned his first Emmy nod in the category of lead actor in »

Our pundits duel over Emmy drama divas

13 July 2009 7:44 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Our Emmy prophets — forums moderators Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria, who also contribute to AwardsHeaven.net — agree on five of the six women who will vie for lead actress in a drama series. They both think returning champ Glenn Close ("Damages") will face off against 2007 winner Sally Field ("Brothers and Sisters"), three-time also ran Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer") and newcomers January Jones ("Mad Men") and Anna Paquin ("True Blood"). For the sixth slot, Rob – who went four for five right last year – opts for Oscar winner Holly Hunter returning to the race a second time for "Saving Grace." Boomer – who got all five nominees right last year – believes "Big Love" star Jeanne Tripplehorn will break through and land her first nod. Best Drama Series Actress

Glenn Close, "Damages" – Rob, Boomer

Inside track: Emmy race for lead actress in a drama

4 July 2009 7:01 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Since the Emmys have ditched the judging panels to determine nominees, letting the lineups be chosen strictly by an outright popular balloting of the TV academy's acting branch, that means the outcome should be more predictable than usual. Expect last year's champ Glenn Close ("Damages") and 2007 winner, 2008 nominee and double Oscar victor Sally Field ("Brothers & Sisters") to return. Ditto perennial nominees Mariska Hargitay ("Law & Order: Svu") and Kyra Sedgwick ("The Closer"). Voters usually drive a stake through the Emmy hopes of the stars of vampire shows (poor "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar was never nommed despite shrieks of outrage from every TV critic), but Anna Paquin ("True Blood") has two pluses: being on HBO and owning an Oscar ("The Piano"). Past Oscar champ for the same film, Holly Hunter, was nominated last year for "Saving Grace," so she'll probably be back. That leaves one more slot open, »

Cindy Sherman's 'Office Killer' Special event at Provincetown International Film Fest

12 June 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »

The 2009 Provincetown International Film Festival in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA is screening Cindy Sherman's dark comedic 1997 horror film Office Killer on June 18th at 8Pm as a special event. It stars Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Barbara Sukowa.

When Dorine Douglas' job at Constant Consumer magazine is turned into an at-home position during a downsizing, she doesn't know how to cope. But after accidentally killing one of her co-workers, she discovers that murder can quench the loneliness of her home life. Spinning into madness at the film's center Kane leads a cast of seasoned professionals, Molly Ringwald and Jeanne Tripplehorn among them in this comic thriller. This dark tale of corporate downsizing is even more relevant today than when it was released in 1997. In her first feature film, American artist Cindy Sherman concocts a peculiarly »

TV Review: Drew Barrymore, Jessica Lange Give Color to ‘Grey Gardens’

22 April 2009 11:57 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – One of the best films of 2009 is currently playing on HBO in the original “Grey Gardens”. The film itself doesn’t quite stand up to recent accomplishments of the network like “John Adams” or “Recount” but it undeniably features the best performance of the year, including theatrical releases, in the revelatory, career-best work from Drew Barrymore.

Television Rating: 4.0/5.0 Bringing new dramatic shades to a quirkiness that she’s always had on-screen, Barrymore plays “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale, daughter of “Big Edie” (Jessica Lange). In 1973, Albert and David Maysles entered the reclusive world of the Bouvier Beales to film a documentary about these two eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Living in a run-down house, giving shows for each other, and basically living on the edge of sanity, the documentary “Grey Gardens” was a riveting portrait of these two unforgettable women.

Daily Recommendation: Grey Gardens

18 April 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- While there is no substitution for Maysles' 1976 doc film, tonite on HBO (8pm Et), Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are portraying the Beales. This Grey Gardens expounds on the documentary film and from what I understand from the synopsis below, details the "riches", rather than the "rags" portion of their story. Using the documentary as a framework, Michael Sucsy’s original story for Grey Gardens offers a wry, behind-the-scenes look at the Beales and their unique mother-daughter bond. Told over the span of four decades, the film focuses on their glamorous and well-heeled lives long before the making of the documentary and on the circumstances behind their riches-to-rags story. Daniel Baldwin and Malcolm Gets co-star with Ken Howard and Jeanne Tripplehorn.        ... »

Drew Barrymore Premieres 'Grey Gardens' In La

"The Insider" was on the red carpet Thursday night with Drew Barrymore, and Jessica Lange at the Los Angeles premiere of the new HBO film 'Grey Gardens,' and Barrymore reveals the truth about her relationship with Justin Long.   In the film Lange and Barrymore play "Big Edie" Bouvier Beale, and "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale an eccentric mother daughter pair who were relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn. "Our biggest goal was to disappear into the characters," Barrymore says. "All we wanted was to not be seen and just have these two women come to the forefront. Their love stories, their struggles, their endearing heart-breakingly exceedingly comical, amazing journey. All I can say is that I'm the luckiest person that I got the opportunity to play a woman who is so full of so many extraordinary colors. I've never read seen or known anyone like her. »
