Lifting the Lid on W.C. with Liam O Mochain

(Julia Wakeham and director/actor Liam O Mochain in Wc, above.)
by Alan Kline
When I first visited Irish filmmaker Liam O Mochain ten years ago on the set of his debut feature, The Book That Wrote Itself, one of the first things I noticed was that he had managed to pull together production elements that would have been difficult for a film with ten times the budget. On the first day, he had managed to get the City of Dublin to give him a double-decker bus, complete with driver, to shoot on throughout the city. I, and a few dozen other tourists, had just paid the equivalent of $20 each for a tour on a similar bus, just the day before. Later in the production, he visited the Venice Film Festival with a small crew, attended a press conference, and asked a variety of celebrity luminaries questions, in character as Vincent, »

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #14
25 October 2009 3:17 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I saw quite a bit this week, but some of it I have already detailed such as my reviews for Trucker and Tormented. I also watched the Blu-ray for Love, Actually (a personal favorite and a review is forth-coming) as well as the following three films.
The second two (The Sniper and 5 Against the House) are both from the November 3 release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Film Noir Collection Volume One. You can get more details on the complete set right here and I hope to discuss the other three films (The Big Heat, The Lineup and Murder by Contract) next Sunday or perhaps in a complete review.
As always, remember you can keep tabs on my personal Netflix queue right here. I now have 50 friends on the movie rental site and would love to have a few more if those of you out there with accounts are interested. Now, »

Discuss: When an Actor's Look Gets in the Way
22 October 2009 1:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Are you finding it increasingly harder to take the changing physicality of Hollywood actors?
Things change; they grow old, they morph, and sometimes even evolve. It's a fact of life, and usually a good fact of life. But lately, I find myself constantly having to try and ignore certain physical aspects to enjoy a trailer, an image, a film. Rather than absorbing the project, the mood, the plot, I'm trying to blur my eyes so Mr. or Ms. So-and-So doesn't look quite so silly.
On the one hand, of course, it's the plastic surgery. Practically everyone in Tinseltown does something. There's no way everyone has smooth foreheads and bright skin. But when the random nose job or improvement turns into new cheeks, chin, or balloonish lips until the original person is nowhere to be seen, it becomes too much. If this was happening to actors known for morphing into characters, »

MacKenzie Phillips Memoir Reveals Incest, Extent of Drug Addiction
23 September 2009 6:42 AM, PDT | PopDecay | See recent PopDecay news »
High on Arrival, a memoir from actress Mackenzie Phillips, arrives in stores today amid brewing controversy and the requisite appearance on "Oprah". Oprah’s website has been touting the interview all week: “Mackenzie Phillips speaks out on the heroin and cocaine bust, Mick Jagger and the explosive family secret she says she’s kept for 31 years.” Phillips, best known as a TV star on 70s show "One Day at a Time," and as the daughter of John Phillips, founding member of The Mamas and Papas, says she was raped at 14 by a stranger and at 19 by her own father. She says the incest turned consensual while her father and she spent time in rehab. Phillips did her best to obliterate a miserable childhood by shooting, snorting, and swallowing every drug possible. She was fired from "One Day at a Time" because of her drug addiction.This is a post from Popdecay. »

Fighting DVD Review
15 September 2009 6:07 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The world of underground fighting has been brought to adequate life in the aptly titled Fighting. Thoroughly predictable yet oddly entertaining, this fight flick should please fans of Ufc-style bouts. It appears as though the filmmakers set out to make Rocky for a hipper (read: Add-afflicted) generation, but it’s really not fair to compare that seminal Oscar-winning film with this one. Fighting definitely ain’t winning awards any time soon, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Find out why after the jump.
That blandly hot piece of meat known as Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Whatever) stars as Sean MacArthur, an inept New York street hustler recently arrived from Alabama. When a fight breaks out on the street Sean manages to beat down three dudes and catches the eye of promoter Harvey Boarden who, unfortunately, is played by Terence Howard (Iron Man). Harvey soon »

Celebrity Rehab Success Stories
10 September 2009 | Getback - Movies | See recent Getback - Movies news »
Melanie Griffith voluntarily checked herself into rehab last week at Utah's Cirque Lodge. Her reps say it's a routine stay to "reinforce her commitment to stay healthy" (kind of like a dental cleaning?). Rumors say her hubby, the "too-sexy" Antonio Banderas, is fed up with her drinking and gave her an ultimatum. We say she wants more jewelry, since last time she got out of rehab Antonio showered her with a $40,000 congratulatory diamond-and-platinum bracelet.
Whatever the real reason for the trip to Utah, we do wish Melanie luck. Despite her numerous treatments in the past and the seemingly endless tragic Hollywood addiction stories (like the recent death of D.J. Am), Tinseltown is also filled with its share of successes. Check out this list of celebrities who've been able to beat their own demons after one (or more) stints in rehab. »

Melanie Griffith Having Therapy Sessions With Her Family

Melanie Griffith is having therapy sessions with her family. Her husband Antonio Banderas - with who she has 12-year-old daughter Stella, while Melanie has two other children from previous relationships - insists Melanie will only benefit from her time in rehab if all her loved ones support her.
He told U.S. TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "We have been following some type of therapy with other families. There are a number of invisible heroes working in Alcoholics Anonymous all around the world. I just say to families, 'Don't get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don't hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for.'"
Melanie, 52, checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge - where Lindsay Lohan and Kristen Dunst previously received treatment - in August. »

Banderas: 'Griffith In Rehab To Conquer Drug Addiction'
9 September 2009 9:21 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Melanie Griffith checked into rehab after fearing she was too "weak" to resist her urge for drugs, her husband Antonio Banderas has revealed.
The 52 year old has been seeking treatment at the Cirque Lodge in Utah since the end of August.
Representatives for the star had previously refused to disclose the reason for her stay but Spanish actor Banderas has now spoken out, admitting she turned to professionals in a bid to prevent a relapse into the narcotic addiction she suffered from for years.
Griffith battled drink and drugs in the 1970s and 80s, and spent time in rehab in 1998 and again in 2000 in an effort to kick an addiction to prescription painkillers.
The Shrek star has also used the opportunity to dismiss reports his marriage is collapsing under the strain of Griffith's troubles.
He tells U.S. talkshow host Ellen DeGeneres, "Let me explain to you. It was actually in some magazine that I said that I gave an ultimatum to my wife. That I present the matter of divorce (sic) because she has been involved in addictions and blah, blah, blah...
"Melanie has been addicted for many years and we always came out. We said it out loud. It was Ok, we were never embarrassed of the situation but... she was clean and sober for six years."
However, Griffith felt her resolve weaken after three operations on her knee following a skiing accident at the start of 2008 and feared taking the medication she was prescribed to numb the pain would tempt her back onto harder drugs.
Banderas adds, "In March, she came to me and said, 'I'm feeling a little bit weak in my determination for this (to stay sober)... so I just thought to go to rehabilitation by myself.'"
Griffith has her whole family behind her in her battle to stay clean - and her relatives even attend group therapy sessions with the embattled star.
Banderas says, "We have been following some type of therapy with other families. There are a number of invisible heroes working in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) all around the world. I just say to families, 'Don't get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don't hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for.
"So the whole entire family is supporting her, and I am supporting her, and at this particular time more than ever. I'm very proud of her." »

Antonio Banderas has opened up about why his wife Melanie Griffith decided to check into rehab, claiming that it was triggered by a skiing accident. The Working Girls star, who has battled addiction in the past, confirmed that she was entering a facility last month as part of a "routine plan" designed by her doctors. "She was clean and sober for six years," Access Hollywood quotes him as telling Ellen DeGeneres.

Antonio Banderas' marriage to Melanie Griffith isn't on the rocks. In fact, he couldn't be more proud of his wife. In an interview airing on today's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Spanish hunk reveals his movie-star wife decided to enter a rehab clinic to conquer an addiction to pain medication—not because their 15-year-old marriage was in trouble as some tabloids claimed. "It was said actually in some magazine that I gave an ultimatum to my wife. That I present the matter of divorce because she has been involved in addictions and blah, blah, blah," said the 49-year-old Banderas.

In a visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," actor Antonio Banderas said it was his wife Melanie Griffith's own decision to admit herself to rehab after pain medication following surgery caused some concern.
Griffith, 52, was clean for six years, then she was injured in a skiing accident a year and a half ago. Three operations on her knee required the actress to start using narcotics.
