Cannes 2013: Nebraska – first look review
23 May 2013 10:57 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Alexander Payne's bittersweet road movie, which finds Bruce Dern in terrific form, blends hard truths with a soft heart
After the glossy and faintly implausible Oscar-bait picture, The Descendants, director Alexander Payne has returned to a more natural and personal movie language for his new film in the Cannes competition. Nebraska is a bittersweet road movie starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte as Woody and David, an elderly father and middle-aged son taking an uncomfortable road trip together. Their story is laced with pathos, comedy and regret, recalling the classic indie cinema of Hal Ashby and Bob Rafelson. It is shot, with almost Amish austerity in monochrome, which gives a wintry, end-of-the-world drear to that homely roadside Americana that Payne loves to pick out with his camera.
Nebraska may not be startlingly new, and sometimes we can see the epiphanies looming up over the distant horizon; the tone is, »

TV Review: ‘Mel Brooks: Make a Noise’ Captures Comedy Genius
20 May 2013 7:47 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I’m a huge Mel Brooks fan, one of those critics who bows at the altar of arguably the two best comedies of all time, “Blazing Saddles” & “Young Frankenstein.” I’ve seen them both a dozen times and can’t wait to watch them again. “The Producers,” “A History of the World,” “High Anxiety,”” “Silent Movie,” “To Be or Not To Be,” “The Twelve Chairs,” his work on “Get Smart” & “Your Show of Shows,” “The 2000 Year Old Man” — the first response that most people should have to “American Masters: Mel Brooks: Make a Noise,” debuting on PBS tonight and releasing on DVD tomorrow, May 21, 2013, is a simple one — What took so long? “American Masters” premiered in 1986 and he should have been one of the first choices.
Television Rating: 4.5/5.0
To be fair, “Make a Noise” doesn’t do much more than confirm what most of us fans »

Five of the best examples of cinema characters unexpectedly bursting into song
You know how it is – you're watching a film, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the characters burst into song. Fine when it's a musical – much more surprising when it's not. Here's some of the best of these moments – but can you think of any others? Share them in the comment thread below..
500 Days of Summer
Joseph Gordon Levitt's adorable Tom finally spends the night with the beautiful and quirky Summer and launches into a cheery, dance-filled rendition of You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates. Almost as elating as losing your virginity, this happy, colourful scene is easily one of the highlights of the film. Sadly the next scene is not nearly so cheerful…

Attention, lords and ladies who love both Game of Thrones and chain restaurants: Two production companies are joining forces to build a movie based on Medieval Times, the cheese-tastic dinner theater that combines Middle Ages-themed food and entertainment.
EW has confirmed that that Benderspink (The Hangover Part III) and Broken Road (Jack and Jill) are behind the deal, which intends to transform Medieval Times into a feature film property. After securing the chain’s rights, they’ll reportedly shop the project to studios. Deadline first reported the news.

Fund This Film: An Aaron Swartz Documentary From the Director of ‘We Are Legion’
4 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
One of the best documentaries of last year is We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists, a film that looks at the history of Internet activists/hackers/pranksters Anonymous while remarkably tying together stuff like LOLCats and the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement (stream it now via Amazon or download from iTunes). Now that doc’s director, Brian Knappenberger, is taking on another web-based story, which will show how the movie WarGames led to the suicide of one of the 21st century’s greatest geniuses. Not that it will put any blame on a 1982 movie starring Matthew Broderick nor focus on that particular chain of events. The Internet’s Own Boy will tell the short life story of computer programmer Aaron Swartz, one of the minds behind numerous Internet-related projects including RSS (at age 14!), Reddit, Markdown, Watchdog.net, and Creative Commons and an activist against Sopa and for WikiLeaks.

Did Mad Men Reference 30 Rock on Sunday?
23 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last Sunday, did Ted's ordering of an "Old Spanish" as a post-ketchup-pitch drink ring any bells? It should have. It was the made-up drink of choice of 30 Rock's Cooter Burger (Matthew Broderick). The reference was caught by 30 Rock writer Tracey Wigfield:30 Rock was never shy about referencing Mad Men, even throwing it in the finale via Liz screaming to Jack: "Don't you want to know how Mad Men ends?" Mad Men's reference hasn't been confirmed by AMC, but if it was one, it's an impressively deep cut. So let's all celebrate our beloved shows loving each other! Old Spanishes on us! Extra olives, please. »

'Mad Men's' Wink To '30 Rock'?
23 April 2013 8:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Old Spanish drink lives! On the Sunday, April 21 episode of AMC's "Mad Men," the series seemingly gave a little wink to "30 Rock."
Ted (Kevin Rahm) ordered the drink, which originated on "30 Rock," in a tense post-pitch gathering at a diner with Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) and Sdcp's Don (Jon Hamm), Stan (Jay R. Ferguson) and Pete (Vincent Kartheiser). TV fans first got wind of the Old Spanish -- red wine, tonic water and olives -- courtesy of Cooter, Matthew Broderick's character, who discussed the drink with Jack (Alec Baldwin) in the Season 7 episode of "30 Rock," titled "Governor Dunston."
"30 Rock" writer Tracey Wigfield tweeted about the occurrence.
Request for confirmation from AMC was not immediately returned, but it's still pretty neat regardless.
"Mad Men" and "30 Rock" do have a history together. Both Jon Hamm and John Slattery appeared on the series and at one point, Liz Lemon's mom mentioned working at Sterling-Cooper. »

British actors as Hollywood villains: Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, more
22 April 2013 1:01 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
In the Hollywood handbook of character shorthand, a British actor is pretty high up on the list of ways to swiftly establish somebody as a bad'un. As villain clichés go, it's just above 'underground lair' and slightly below 'unexpectedly offing a loyal henchman'.
Ben Kingsley's doing his bit to keep the stereotype alive this month, playing the formidable Mandarin who makes it his mission to destroy Tony Stark's world in Iron Man 3.
Plus, just in case you've been living under a rock or in a coma, Benedict Cumberbatch plays much-discussed villain John Harrison in next month's Star Trek Into Darkness, and he's dominated Paramount's entire marketing campaign so completely that the character already feels weirdly iconic.
So with Brit baddies more in vogue than ever, Digital Spy takes a look back over six of the best...
