‘Hit and Run’ starring Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell
46 minutes ago | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Dax Shepard
Starring: Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper
Rating: Not Yet Rated
Release Date: August 24, 2012
Trailer Score: 5/10
Thoughts by Tsr: Bradley Cooper’s hilarious dreadlocks are simultaneously the best and worst thing about this trailer for Hit and Run. That speaks to my overall reaction, as everything else exists in that middling ground where I can’t really be bothered to care one way or the other.
The one thing that could make this fairly entertaining is the natural chemistry between Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell. They are a real life couple and what we see of them here is fairly fun. Unfortunately, these 150 seconds aren’t completely made up of scenes featuring the two of them, leaving us with too many sound effects masking curse words and too much “comedy” from Tom Arnold. Despite brief flashes – Cooper bursting into the room with the elderly people, »

Abigail Breslin Is The Final Girl
21 May 2012 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Little Miss Sunshine star Abigail Breslin is racking up the future projects at the moment. She recently wrapped Ender's Game, and has Halle Berry thriller The Hive in the works; she's playing a ghost in Vincenzo Natali's Haunter, and now Breslin's crossing to the other side of the horror divide to try out her scream-queen lungs as a Final Girl.Not to be confused with Final Girls, which is a New Line comedy being directed by Harold & Kumar's Todd Strauss-Schulson, this Final Girl is a more serious-sounding affair. The premise revolves around a "pack of feral boys" (like the one in Mad Max 2? Probably not...) who choose the wrong chick as the victim of a dubious initiation ceremony. Maybe Abigail can employ some of the skills she learned from Tallahassee in Zombieland.The title refers to the well-worn slasher movie trope of whittling down a cast of teens »
Interview: Newcomer Gretchen Lodge Talks Inhabiting 'Lovely Molly,' Dark Playlists & Dream Remakes
18 May 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Gretchen Lodge makes her screen debut this weekend in the latest from "The Blair Witch Project" helmer Eduardo Sanchez, the possession/psychological horror thriller "Lovely Molly." Lodge gives a ferocious, fearless and deeply intimate performance in a film that strays from the found footage genre Sanchez helped to create, instead rendering a much more personal horror film that utilizes first person camera footage as one of the many tools in the telling the story of Molly, a young newlywed who begins to lose her grip on reality. Or does she? Lodge is firmly the anchor of this film, which revolves entirely around her, and she never for a minute loses her magnetic grasp on the audience, who can't look away, despite some of the shocking and primal moments. Our review from SXSW said, "she commits to the character -- so mousy and serene early in the movie and so terrifying »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to John Carpenter
17 May 2012 11:16 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
"I met him…15 years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes...the devil's eyes."
"I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply ... evil." –Dr. Sam Loomis (Halloween, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill)
There is an upper echelon of horror directors that fans of the genre hold in a sacred reverence. Rightfully at the top of the list are the filmmakers who created the most iconic and memorable of our favorite films. One could argue that just the fact that John Carpenter created Halloween would put him into »

Danny Pudi Talks Cougar Town References, Pop Culture Knowledge, and Looking Like Jamie Lee Curtis on the Set of Community
17 May 2012 7:22 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There's a variety of personalities that are interlaced in the study group on NBC's Community, but the most eccentric of them all is Abed Nadir, played by Danny Pudi. At the beginning of the series he came off as the stereotypical socially awkward, nerdy type who quickly developed into a wonderfully complex character who's going through even more of an identity crisis during the second half of this season. Will Evil Abed reign supreme in his mind? We don't know, but we certainly want to find out. We got the chance to speak with Danny Pudi about Abed being pushed to the limit this season, how fascinating it is he knows so much about pop culture and anymore possible Cougar Town references. Here's a rundown of the highlights of the conversation, followed by the full interview: Introductions Anymore Cougar Town references? Explaining the show with his drinks Abed being pushed »

The Dictator – review
17 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Sacha Baron Cohen's latest is an unashamed firework display of bad taste – and very funny
After his live-ammo situationist spoofs Borat and Brüno, Sacha Baron Cohen has returned to straight fiction-features with his broad comedy satire The Dictator. This is not, repeat not, a cinephile homage to Chaplin's The Great Dictator. It is less edgy than Baron Cohen's previous two films, featuring big, conventionally contrived gags and a colossal central turn from the man himself. Baron Cohen's Dictator is set to make Peter Sellers's Inspector Clouseau a model of subtlety and sensitivity. The movie is in the fish-out-of-water tradition of Coming to America and many others. It doesn't, in truth, offer much of a twist on the genre. It does, however, deliver laughs and weapons-grade offensiveness.
Baron Cohen plays General Aladeen, the bizarre ruler of the oil-rich north African rogue state Wadiya: he is a satirical version of the Saddams and Gaddafis, »

NCIS Season 10 Spoilers: The Aftermath
17 May 2012 9:10 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The surprising, potentially tragic finale of NCIS Season 9 left lives at risk, the agency's offices destroyed, and 19 million viewers reeling. The repercussions of Dearing's terrorist plot were far-reaching, to say the least.
What can we expect next fall when NCIS returns for Season 10?
With so much up in the air, executive producer/showrunner Gary Glasberg discussed the fate of Ducky, who collapsed in the final seconds of "Til Death Do Us Part," what's next for Tiva, and much more from the finale.
Excerpts from Glasberg's chat with EW below:
On the "true" cliffhanger: "[It's] not the kind of thing you can do every year, but in this instance, we thought it was right and appropriate. We’ll pick things up with [Dearing] at the beginning of season 10."
"We'll wrap it up pretty quickly - we’ve done that before as well. It’ll probably get wrapped up in the first episode. And »

'NCIS' season 9 finale: Boss talks cliffhanger and how season 10 will (probably) begin!

Last night’s NCIS season finale was an explosive end to the season — because there was an actual explosion. And in the end, 18.7 million viewers were left wondering what would come of the team in season 10.
EW hopped on the phone with executive producer Gary Glasberg to chat about the big season ender — including what might come as a result of that big cliffhanger with longtime medical examiner Ducky, who had a heart attack in the final minutes of the episode. Read on for more:

Ratings Rat Race: ‘NCIS’ Ends Up, ‘Private Practice’ Way Up
16 May 2012 10:01 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Tuesday brought more finales, more Howard Stern and a good night for NCIS and Private Practice. The 8 Pm season finale of CBS’ NCIS (3.5/11) was up 13% from last week. The end of the police procedural series’s ninth season, which saw Jamie Lee Curtis return, was the No. 1 show of the night. The following two-hour finale of NCIS: La (3.0/8) was even with last week. The second broadcast of America’s Got Talent (3.4/10) with Stern as a judge was down 8% from Monday’s premeire and last year’s second night. On the upside, Talent scored a season time period high for NBC in the Tuesday 8-10 Pm slot; the show was up 48% from season averages, with 10.4 million viewers. The 10 Pm Fashion Star (1.6/4) finale was up 23% from last week’s 8 Pm show. Over on the CW, the season finale of 90210 (0.5/2) was down from last week. L.A. Complex (0.2/1) matched its series low of last week. »

NCIS Season Finale Review: Until Death Do They Part
15 May 2012 8:19 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
This may not have been the best NCIS season finale, but its ending will surely go down as one of the most talked about. The final two minutes, as advertised, rocked the very foundation of the show.
The ninth season-ender was a slow-builder, even a little disjointed, for much of the hour, only to culminate in a poignant, heart-stropping sequence of events that the team may never recover from.
Ducky's collapse no doubt left millions of viewers in stunned silence as the screen faded to black with the serene sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. In the wake of Dearing's diabolical terrorist attack on NCIS, the casualties are yet to be determined, and the repercussions will be felt for a long, long time.
"Til Death Do Us Part." The episode's title carried an ominous double meaning, with the juxtaposition of Palmer's nuptials and the manhunt for Dearing, whose intentions slowly came into focus. »

NCIS Boss: Season Finale Packs a Surprising Return and a 'Cliffhanger for Everyone'
14 May 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Will the Season 9 finale of CBS’ NCIS (airing Tuesday at 8/7c) feature a wedding and a funeral? Or one or the other, or neither? With the hunt for the newest member of the NCIS Most Wanted Wall, CEO-turned-terrorist Harper Dearing, rolling to a boil, TVLine spoke with showrunner Gary Glasberg about what to expect.
Tvline | I wanted to start off by saying I think it’s interesting what you’re doing with Richard Schiff (The West Wing) as the villain. He’s not some ex-Mossad extremist, he’s not some homegrown militia nutjob….
Thank you. The intention with the Harper »

NCIS Round Table: "Up in Smoke"

----------------------------------
Describe this episode in one word (or two, or three, or four).
Steve: An interesting chapter.
Matt: A little uneven.
Eric: Predictably intense.
What was your favorite quote or one-liner from the episode?
Steve: The episode was light on one liners, even from Dinozzo. That's when you know it's serious. NCIS has been about the agents' respective personae, and how they balance work and their personal lives. Even if it's thin on humor, the show always finds that balance. »

No one is safe ... especially, from the looks of the promo below, in the final two minutes of next week's NCIS. Will "Til Death Do Us Part" closes out the ninth season in tragic fashion?
On May 15, terrorism threatens to shake the foundations of the U.S. Navy and NCIS, when the team continues to be eluded by the newest member of the agency's Most Wanted Wall.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Palmer’s destination wedding is impacted by the case, which left off in surprising fashion last night (read our review of "Up in Smoke") with Vance's apparent kidnapping.
Moreover, the connections of Jamie Lee Curtis' character, and Scott Wolf's, to Dearing and the case remain a mystery, leaving Gibbs & Co. scrambling for answers and desperate to uncover the next target.
One which may be closer than they ever imagined ...

Chanel Knows How Your Brain Works, Makes Brad Pitt The New Face Of Chanel No. 5
9 May 2012 11:45 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Most brands like Marc Jacobs or Lancome hire gorgeous actresses (Dakota Fanning and Emma Watson, respectively) to be the faces of their perfume in order to sell a specific image. “Look at the kind of woman you could be if you wear our fragrance!,” their ads seem to say. “You can wear a pixie cut and baby doll dresses and not look like some sort of massive, sweet-smelling toddler!” Chanel, on the other hand, decided to skip right over the whole “woman’s perfume” issue entirely and instead hot-wired their new Chanel No. 5 campaign directly to the Brad Pitt-loving part of your brain. Does the fact Brad would never actually wear Chanel No. 5 himself affect whether or not you’d buy their fragrance? Let’s see…does looking at his super-hot face right now make you want to smash open your piggy bank and sprint all the way to Neiman Marcus? »

NCIS Review: Going Down in Flames
8 May 2012 8:04 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
NCIS' season-ending story arc continued Tuesday in an unpredictably complex installment that sent the team in a half dozen different directions with an elusive terrorist mastermind always one step ahead.
If not more. Few shows would leave their main character so flummoxed at such a crucial juncture, or send the team down the wrong path for the better part of an episode as "Up in Smoke" did this evening.
That's part of what makes this arc (and NCIS in general) so good, though. Every chapter fits into a broader narrative, keeping you guessing as to what's next while remaining entertaining on its own merit.
A depraved financial mogul convinced he's a hero. His embezzling second-in-command. A night watchman serving as the go-between. A rogue dentist. A middleman gunned down in a parking lot.
All of these would-be adversaries played a role this week, but none hold a candle to Jamie Lee Curtis' Dr. »

At the end of last week’s episode of NCIS, Gibbs (Mark Harmon) took a picture of the team’s target, Harper Dearing (Richard Schiff), and stuck it over the picture of Osama bin Laden that hangs on the Most Wanted wall inside NCIS HQ. The message: Dearing is going down.
But first it’s going to take the team into a high-stakes fight against an incredibly dangerous adversary, says Ep Gary Glasberg. “This arc is something that we’ve been talking about for a while,” he says of the terrorist plot. “And I think people are going to be, »

NCIS Preview: The Explosive Arc To the Season 9 Finale Continues Tonight
NCIS continues its explosive climb to the May 15 finale of Season 9. The four-episode arc started by showing that, even after nine years, there is much left to explore about the NCIS team. The first installment in the arc, "Rekindled", explained how eternal frat boy, Tony Dinozzo, (Michael Weatherly) became a cop.
The "Rekindled" episode featuring Dinozzo saving a child from a fire was as emotionally combustable as the fiery bomb material, thermite, that is the thread connecting the arc. Weatherly's poignant portrayal of a man whose life found meaning in the screams of a child is a far cry from the class-clown-exterior schtick he uses to razz his team. Dinozzo opened a painful vein for McGee (Sean Murray) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) that is not revealed often to his NCIS teammates.
