DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate 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 »

Movie Review - Blind Date
11 October 2009 8:40 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Too psychological and .film school. for some but a fine homage to Theo Van Gogh.s integrity and courage as a filmmaker and student of the human condition .Blind date. is a heartbreaking story of all-enveloping tenderness and caring. At the end of the film the viewing audience knows what it is like to love something more than you thought possible and to continue living after that thing is lost. The film is a remake of Theo Van Gogh.s award winning 1996 Dutch film by the same name. When he was killed in 2004 by a religious fanatic the idea to remake three of his films with American stars was born. This is the second of those films with .Interview. with »

HuffPost Review: Blind Date
21 September 2009 12:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
I don't even want to think about what it portends that a film as good as Stanley Tucci's Blind Date has had to wait almost two years for distribution. It's not a healthy sign, to be sure. Oh, who am I kidding? The bottom has dropped out of the market for serious films, independent or otherwise. Bread and circuses -- audiences just want diversion. they want mindless entertainment that doesn't force them to think -- about their own lives or the world at large. The only place to consistently find quality original drama these days is on cable TV. Part of what was originally intended to be a trio of American films based on films by the late Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh (the first was Steve Buscemi's Interview; the third one wasn't made), Blind Date premiered at Sundance '08 and has... »

Fame, Rage and Capitalism
21 September 2009 6:55 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
This week, contrasting approaches to filmmaking bring about balance and equilibrium. Experimentalism (Sally Potter's "Rage" and Michael Almereyda's "Paradise") collides head on with tried and tested formulas (the Clive Owen starrer "The Boys Are Back" and a remake of "Fame").

Stanley Tucci adapts and stars in the second remake from the canon of slain Dutch director Theo Van Gogh, the first being Steve Buscemi's 2007 "Interview." A whimsical psychological tussle between a husband and wife who play games to patch up their marriage, the story hones in on the attempted romantic rediscovery between long-married Don (Tucci) and Jenna (Patricia Clarkson).
Opens in New York.

Take A Look @ Tucci's Blind Date
18 September 2009 1:20 PM, PDT | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news »
Blind Date is a new comedy/drama feature from actor/director Stanley Tucci, starring Tucci, Patricia Clarkson and Thijs Römer. "...'Don' (Tucci) and his wife 'Janna' (Patricia Clarkson) meet every night in the same shabby nightclub where Don performs a magic act. Don and Janna's relationship has been on the verge of collapse since the death of their daughter, and they're trying to reconnect with each other through role playing, so each evening they pretend they're meeting for the first time on a blind date after discovering one another through personal ads. Sometimes they assume characters that are openly confrontational, while other times they try to bring a sweetness and intimacy back into their lives. More often than not their struggle to reclaim the love they knew ends in confusion and frustration..." Blind Date was adapted by Tucci and screenwriter David Schechter from filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's 1996 film of the same name, »
Really Good Aural: 10 Podcasts You Shouldn't Miss

Ten podcasts and audio dramas to excite your incus, stimulate your stapes, and massage your malleus.
I have a thoroughly boring day job wherein I spend 8 hours a day sitting in front of a computer terminal entering data from health care forms. It doesn’t take a whole lot of brain power. Lucky me, we’re allowed to bring our mp3 players of choice and listen to music or whatever to keep us from slamming our foreheads into our monitors. I loaded up my iPod Nano with all the music I could stand to listen to and did my thing. The only problem was, I would zone out and get into the music and want to sing along. Not so bad for me, really, except for the fact that it’s generally frowned upon in a room full of other computer drones. They have their own shit to listen to. »

Stanley Tucci Gets Ready to Hunt
18 July 2009 10:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
It's been a while, but if you have a good memory, you might remember that I quite like The Tooch... Stanley Tucci. He whipped up magic as Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream, but more importantly, he's the man behind Big Night -- one of the best foodie films Hollywood has seen. (Of course, he's also heading back to food with the upcoming Julie & Julia, but that's not the same.)
Now Variety reports that Tucci is gearing up to film a comedic drama called The Hunter, and he's grabbed Pierce Brosnan, Patricia Clarkson, and Julianne Moore to star. Written by The Tooch himself, the film is a coming-of-age story set in the aristocracy of New York's Upper Westchester County. Brosnan will play a middle-aged man clinging to the memories of his "once-charmed life and world." The Whit Stillman fan in me wants Chris Eigeman in a role like that, but I can dig Brosnan, »

Director: Pearry Reginald Teo.

A love story set in the backdrop of hell "Necromentia" is an unreleased horror feature that offers three intertwined stories in a non-linear story-telling fashion. Centering around the characters Morbius, Hagen, and Travis each character interacts with the others while searching for love despite the pain of betrayal and the hopelessness of recovery from dementia.
