Blu-ray Review: Monsters, Inc. (4-Disc)
8 November 2009 10:32 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
To coincide with the home video release of Up, Disney and Pixar have also given Pete Docter’s other feature-length directorial effort, Monsters, Inc., its first high-definition treatment with a four-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo set. Monsters, Inc. tells the story of the monsters who come out of the bedroom closet to scare children at night. At it turns out, the monsters are more scared of the children than the other way around. But a job’s a job for Sulley (John Goodman) and his sidekick Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), who harvest screams as a form of fuel in Monstropolis. And business is good for the duo until the evil Randall (Steve Buscemi) is within contention of the office scare record. He leaves a closet door portal on the floor, and a child escapes into Monstropolis and finds herself in the care of Sulley and Mike. As is par for the course with Pixar, »

Indie Roundup: 'Splinterheads,' 'Ghost World,' 'Devil'
4 November 2009 2:10 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Clockwise from upper left: Splinterheads, Ghost World, An Education, House of the Devil.
Opening. Amiable and pleasant, Splinterheads revolves around a romance between Justin (Thomas Middleditch), an aimless small town dreamer, and Galaxy (Rachael Taylor), a gorgeous grifter who (literally) bumps into him at a gas station. She's more interested in separating him from his money than getting to know the lunkhead within, while he quickly decides that he's met the love of his life -- or, even better, a reason to leave his upstate New York world behind and start living for himself instead of his mother and grandfather.
Brent Sersen (Blackballed) is a better director than writer; the characters hold few surprises and the plot's trajectory threatens to die of old age before it reaches its pre-ordained conclusion. Still, he takes advantage of a visiting carnival and the grifter's obsession with geocaching, a variation on treasure hunting, to »

James Franco will follow up his stint on soap opera General Hospital with another small-screen venture - he's the latest star to take on a role in 30 Rock.
The 31-year-old actor is currently busy shooting episodes of the daytime medical drama in Los Angeles, but he'll fly to New York to tape his cameo in Tina Fey's hit comedy.
Franco will play himself in a storyline that sees him romance Jane Krakowski's character, Jenna.
She tells EW.com, "(Jenna gets) into a high-profile relationship with a movie star that is arranged by their agents."
Franco follows stars like Matthew Broderick, Jerry Seinfeld and Steve Buscemi who have all made guest appearances on the show. »

There’s something slightly odd about a former Israeli army officer making a movie about broken American veterans of the war in Iraq. But that’s just what The Messenger is. The film is Oren Moverman’s directorial debut and is currently in competition at Sundance.
The story follows Will (Ben Foster), a decorated war hero that came home with a purple heart for saving some friends during an attack in some nameless Iraqi city. Although he’s sent back to the states, he still has a few months left of service. His superior assigns him to the task force in charge of informing the next of kin of soldiers’ deaths within twenty four hours of the event. »

Review of Youth In Revolt
25 October 2009 9:42 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Year: 2009
Directors: Miguel Arteta
Writers: Gustin Nash & C.D. Payne (novel)
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: Hal MacDermot
Rating: 7.8 out of 10
Youth is Revolt is the screen adaptation of C.D. Payne’s cult book series charting the progress of the awkward, sex obsessed, super smart teen that is Nick Twisp. Michael Cera is made to inhabit this deadpan absurdist comedy world, a place where the teens are way more intelligent than the adults. It’s not an original take on life, but it’s probably how most teens think, so “whatever.” The strong supporting cast includes Steve Buscemi as Dad, and Zach Galifianakis as Jerry, one of his Mum’s pig boyfriends. Gustin Nash’s script feels slightly jerky, but suspending disbelief when you are laughing is usually easy.
Nick Twisp believes everyone is getting more sex than him, and he’s probably right. His separated parents certainly are. Buscemi is banging half-his-age-hottie Ari Graynor, »
Halloween Haunts: Terror Behind The Walls
22 October 2009 3:26 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
An invite from a friend in early September had us researching Terror Behind the Walls (Tbtw) at the Eastern State Penitentiary, an historical prison-turned-Halloween-walk-through event. If you’re up for a short drive (from NYC) to Philly, it’s worth the trip. From the Web site alone, we could tell that Tbtw would be great for a good evening scare. Some further research revealed that the prison site had been on several shows: Ghost Hunters, MTV’s Fear, and Ghost Adventures. Then we discovered that Tbtw was the location for the enormous mental hospital in 12 Monkeys. Yeah, this is going to be a really, really good scare.
As for our friend that invited us? She said Tbtw was ultra-scary, and that she and her (fairly skittish) younger sister loved it (they had gone twice before), but ActionVance was a bit skeptical. He already had a disappointing experience at a NYC-based »

Festival Nouveau Cinéma 2009: Handsome Harry
20 October 2009 9:58 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
[caption id="attachment_14823" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Handsome Harry"][/caption] Handsome Harry Directed by Bette Gordon A spectacular cast and a deliberate tone help to distract from director Bette Gordon's Handsome Harry, which acts both as an emotionally detailed character study and a slightly ungainly road movie. The titular Harry (Jamey Sheridan), an aging ex-Navy electrician, is shaken from his cozy small-town existence when he receives a call from an old Navy buddy (Steve Buscemi), who is dying of a dire, unnamed disease. He summons Harry to his deathbed to exact one final wish: to track down Kagan (Campbell Scott), the old cohort that Harry, along with Buscemi and a gaggle of their Navy buddies, viciously assaulted following a wild night at sea. Bound by a sense of duty, Harry travels to Miami to find Kagan, dropping in on the rest of his old crew along the way, who are played to the hilt by an impressive array of character actors, »

TV Review: ‘30 Rock’ Returns With Two Perfect Episodes
15 October 2009 11:03 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – NBC sent over the first two episodes of the fourth season of the Emmy-winning “30 Rock” and, believe it or not, the show may actually be better than when it left the air last spring. Tonight’s premiere is good but next week’s episode is even better with some of the strongest comedy writing of the year to date and amazing work by the standard cast and one of their most talented regular guest stars, Will Arnett.
Television Rating: 4.5/5.0
Tonight’s episode, the fourth season premiere, is a clever satire of not just the show itself but the entire network. (A show-closing jab at “The Jay Leno Show” is a true gem.) “30 Rock” has never set the ratings on fire, appealing more to critics than actual viewers. It doesn’t really have that big a following or audience. And the season premiere brilliantly and subversively plays off the popularity, »

All That Glitters Is Not "Glitter" on the Red Carpet for "Precious"
15 October 2009 8:51 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Lest we forget, for all the talk this year about whether the New York Film Festival in particular and arthouse film in general have become elitist and unwelcoming to the general population, one of this year's major indie buzz films features no less a celeb for all demographics than Mariah Carey, in her fifth cinematic role.
Mimi and her man were out in full force at the festival's Lincoln Center screening of "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire," an impressively star-studded event also saw costars Paula Patton, Lenny Kravitz, Chyna Layne, Sherri Shepherd, Ephraim Benton and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe, who plays the title character, out on the red carpet. (Mo'Nique, despite the Oscar buzz her role in the film has generated, chose not to make an appearance.)
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Bobby Cannavale, Wendell Pierce and Steve Buscemi were amongst the other stars who came out in support of the film. »

Stars in Rewind: Alexander Skarsgard on a Frappuccino Joyride
12 October 2009 4:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
One of the silliest pleasures of revisiting older films is seeing actors in small roles, back before you had any idea who they were. Sometimes it's the only reason to watch something over again -- after all, why else would you rent 1990's Tales From the Darkside: The Movie if not to giggle at Julianne Moore being terrorized by a mummy controlled by Steve Buscemi, or pick up Leprechaun other than to mock the performance of the young Jennifer Aniston?
Sometimes the now-familiar faces pop up in stuff that's still worth watching, as with Laurence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis on TV's Pee-Wee's Playhouse, or Johnny Depp in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street. That's a bonanza. And when the earlier role is vastly different from the sort of thing they've settled in to playing now, it's all the more delightful.
Take, for example, Alexander Skarsgard, who sets hearts a-flutter »
