Whole Lotta Sole: Brendan Fraser To Star In Zany Heist Movie
17 May 2012 9:39 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Brendan Fraser Stars In Oddball Irish Stick-Up Flick.
It’s hard to get a bead on Brendan Fraser. In a way, it always has been. At the outset of his career, he certainly seemed to be part of the latter-day Tiger Beat crowd, lumped into the Sean Astin strata of notoriety.
The only flick of his that I really remember taking a liking to was Blast from the Past, with Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, and Christopher Walken. In that flick, Brendan plays a guy in his late teens/early twenties, who was raised in a bomb shelter by his doomsday prepper dad (Walken). The role fit Fraser more or less like a glove, allowing him to showcase whatever that wholesome thing is that people love so much.
Almost from the very beginning of his career, Fraser has never been out of work for long. Roles in larger films have afforded him »

'Suburgatory' Season 2 spoilers from creator Emily Kapnek: George and Dallas and Tessa's mom?
16 May 2012 9:42 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Suburgatory" has been renewed for Season 2 and Zap2it got a chance to chat with creator Emily Kapnek about what's coming. Kapnek was surprisingly open about what the writers have planned, including a hook up for George (Jeremy Sisto) and Dallas (Cheryl Hines), and Tessa's (Jane Levy) mother playing a prominent role.
Kapnek says she's looking for the perfect woman to play Tessa's mom and she didn't want to rush by doing it in the first season. "When we come back, we'll probably do a bit of a leap ahead and do some flashback stuff to how that plays out."
She also tells us that, though it won't be a joint custody thing, Tessa will be spending some time with her mom. George has a bit of empty nest syndrome, right about the same time that Dallas does. "This could set the stage for some really fun stuff."

Suburgatory 1.22 "The Motherload" Review

Suburgatory 1.22 "The Motherload" Review
There are basically two types of season finales that can put into play, depending on a variety of factors. The first type is the clean finale, one that ties up loose ends, corrects mistakes, and generally finds each of the main characters in a pretty favorable place going forward. It might not make for the most compelling of television, but a clean finale is best utilized when a show is truly on the bubble or knowingly ending once and for all. A bubble show ending cleanly calms the inevitable firestorm of "Save Our Show" campaigns that pop up every May, while a show ending for good can spend its final moments basking in the happy and celebrating the characters we've all grown to love. Whereas a messy finale (like Suburgatory), with no (real) conclusions and little warm-and-fuzzy moments to speak of, leaves things hanging until next season, »

Ana Gasteyer talks 'Suburgatory' season finale, takes EW Pop Culture Personality Test
16 May 2012 7:26 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Mother’s Day might have been last Sunday, but the people of Chatswin are celebrating it on tonight’s season finale of Suburgatory. And since the ABC sitcom is set in the suburbs, Mother’s Day is a big deal that, rather fittingly, is wrapped into a big contest amongst the town’s wacky constellation of characters. “It’s a full-town competition to prove whose mother is loved the most,” explains star Ana Gasteyer, who recently was upped from recurring to series regular for playing quirky, perfection-obsessed mother Sheila Shay. “There’s this totally asinine situation, with just days and »

'Suburgatory' season finale: Mother's Day blues -- Exclusive Clip
14 May 2012 9:23 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Suburgatory’s season finale is about more than just what’s stuck in Tessa’s colon. (See the exclusive clip below for explanation on that one.) It’s also about Mother’s Day, no doubt a prickly subject for father-daughter pair George and Tessa, who we’ve followed through ups, downs and general hilarity all season.
And though it looks like Eden (guest star Alicia Silverstone) seems to have a tough time bringing up the subject without being cut down by Tessa’s running stream of mental insults, we’re sure she’ll get her to come around and talk about it. »

The Morning Round-Up: 'Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23' & 'Suburgatory'
10 May 2012 7:18 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
It's morning round-up time, with quick thoughts on last night's "Suburgatory" and "Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23" coming up just as soon as I box weave you a noose... Late in the "Suburgatory" episode "The Great Compromise," George admits to Noah, "I think we can all agree we're in a negative space." He's talking about the messy situation with Eden, but I unfortunately feel that way about what the Eden arc has done to the show. Whatever nostalgic power came from the sight of Jeremy Sisto and Alicia Silverstone together again has long since vanished, and what we have »

Tjff 2012: ‘We Need to Talk About ‘Dorfman’
9 May 2012 10:43 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Bradley Leong
Written by Wendy Kout
USA, 2011
After her mother dies, Deb Dorfman (Sara Rue), a timid accountant, has to live with her perpetually grumpy father (Elliot Gould) in the San Fernando Valley. A hopeless romantic, Deb is irreparably enraptured with Jay (Johann Urb), her brother’s war-zone reporter friend.
When Jay needs someone to cat-sit while he’s doing a piece in Afghanistan, Deb jumps at the chance, moving into his flat in downtown Los Angeles where the city, and some of its inhabitants, become a catalyst for her metamorphosis.
Justin and Taegan discuss.
Taegan: Dorfman is really lighthearted, well intentioned and inoffensive. It has a lot of Jewish jokes, which is sometimes excluding. At the screening, people were laughing at jokes and words that completely went over my head. I can see why it’s featured at Tjff.
Justin: I felt pretty lukewarm about it. »

Weekend Box Office: Avengers smash!
7 May 2012 7:24 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
This is it, folks. For a regurgitator of box office information such as myself—and for you, the Alicia Silverstone’s kid-like recipient of said regurgitation—this will be like Pearl Harbor or the day Kennedy was shot, an occasion so momentous that you’ll know where you were when you heard it. The Avengers, Joss Whedon’s Marvel-ous superhero extravaganza, has broken the all-time opening weekend box-office record, inching just above $200 million mark over three days. Even when the estimates prove wildly inaccurate and that number is inevitably revised downward, it’s so far ahead of the »

Is Alicia Silverstone moving in on Kristen Stewart's Twilight territory? The 35-year-old actress has reunited with her Clueless director Amy Heckerling for the upcoming vampire-themed romantic comedy Vamps costarring Krysten Ritter. While Silverstone insists the bloodsucker flick isn't Twi-inspired... She is hoping to take a bite out of Stephenie Meyer's young fanbase. "It was just great costumes and beautiful makeup," Silverstone told us earlier today at her Juice Beauty Collection for Ulta event at Cecconi's in West Hollywood. "You get all the perks of Clueless. I think by the end of the movie, all little girls will want coffins." Silverstone explained »

Director: Whit Stillman Writer: Whit Stillman Starring: Greta Gerwig, Analeigh Tipton, Carrie MacLemore, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Ryan Metcalf, Adam Brody, Billy Magnussen, Jermaine Crawford, Caitlin Fitzgerald, Zach Woods, Domenico D'Ippolito, Nick Blaemire, Aubrey Plaza, Hugo Becker, Meredith Hagner It should say something to us that Seven Oaks College utilizes the Roman alphabet rather than the more commonly accepted Greek alphabet in the naming of their sorority and fraternity houses, as this references the Romans' propensity for crude decadence over the Greeks' philosophical pursuits. Propagated by doofi (the plural of doofus), the fraternities of Seven Oaks have de-evolved into a state of idiocracy; the situation is so grim that two male characters do not even know the names of the basic colors. (Did writer-director Whit Stillman's name of one of these dimwits Thor [Billy Magnussen] as a reference to the Norse god or the Avenger?) We can only assume that this fictional New »

Suburgatory 1.20 "Hear No Evil" Review

Suburgatory 1.20 "Hear No Evil" Review
The end of the season stretch can be pretty influential on the path of a freshman show like Suburgatory. By the time you get to the final few installments of your debut season, you tend to know what works, what doesn't work, and what seeds need to be planted before next season. It's a lot of information to have to sort through, but if you fumble badly enough, it can leave a sour taste in the mouth of your audience, a taste that could take an entire summer hiatus to get over.
"Hear No Evil" wasn't exactly a fumble, stumble, or bumble, but it felt like a step back from the show's recent creative hot streak. A typical episode of Suburgatory has a whole lot going on, all bright colors and loud noises, but there was just a bit too much here, too many plots »

I.ll probably come away as pretty clueless but there were some things that struck me when watching the fledgling effort from Alicia Silverstone. Fans of the actress or the film will be pleased, but the age group the film was originally made for must be confused if they watched it today. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) is the daughter of a wealthy lawyer (Dan Hedaya) and the most popular and stylish girl at high school. She cruises the halls with her best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash) and the social strata of her classmates. Being the daughter of a lawyer she considers her grades negotiable. She sets about to set up her teachers Mr. Hall (Wallace Shawn) and Miss Geist (Twink »

'Suburgatory' Boss Calls Alicia Silverstone's Storyline 'Fun,' Yet 'Heartbreaking' (Exclusive Video)

Clearly, fans were excited about the prospect of ABC’s Suburgatory bringing Clueless cast mates Jeremy Sisto and Alicia Silverstone back together – and this time the boy gets the girl. “It’s really fantastic,” series creator Emily Kapanek tells The Hollywood Reporter of Silverstone. “I think that they have incredible chemistry. I don’t think that’s gone. I think it’s there. It’s right on screen. It’s really fun to see. I think this is a very grown up and unusual situation and storyline that we’re playing out with them, though. So, that part of it has been really fun.” Video:

Alicia Silverstone and Bird Feeding Her Son Bear by Chewing His Food (Video) Clueless Actress Still Defending
30 April 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
'Clueless' actress Alicia Silverstone is still defending feeding her son food like a bird and says she thinks others just don't understand this is how it has been done for thousands of years and the practice is fine. "I can understand that it would make some people feel uncomfortable, possibly, because it's new to them," Silverstone told Entertainment Tonight last week (per TV Guide). "But I do want to let you know that this has been going on for thousands of years — still going on all over the place — and it's natural." The 'Clueless' actress revealed earlier her unorthodox method for feeding 11-month-old Bear - which involves chewing food then spitting it into the youngster's mouth - and says she can't believe the uproar it's caused because it is a natural way to feed babies. She said: "People have been feeding their kids that way for thousands for years. »

Alicia Silverstone says feeding Bear Blu baby bird-style is 'part of the weaning process'
30 April 2012 6:55 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Actress Alicia Silverstone has been the center of a controversy lately after posting a video on her website The Kind Life showing her feeding son Bear Blu, 10 months, baby-bird style - by chewing food and spitting it into his mouth.
"I can understand that it would make some people feel uncomfortable, possibly, because it's new to them. But I do want to let you know that this has been going on for thousands of years -- still going on all over the place -- and it's natural," Silverstone tells Entertainment Tonight.
"It's part of the weaning process, so while I'm still breast-feeding, it's just a way to introduce him to food when he doesn't have teeth and he can't chew," she continues. "My kid is healthy. My kid's the happiest baby ever."
"How it started was simply that Bear, when he was about five months old, I'd be eating and »

Watch: Alicia Silverstone Responds To Uproar Over Pre-Chewing
27 April 2012 8:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Last month, actress Alicia Silverstone caused an uproar on the Internet by pre-chewing food for her son, Bear Blu -- and posting a video of their shared meal online.
Now, Silverstone has addressed the issue in an exclusive interview with Et.
"I can understand that [pre-chewing] would make some people feel uncomfortable possibly, because it's new to them," the actress explains. "But I do want to let you know that this has been going on for thousands of years. [It's] still going on all over the place. And it's natural."
Silverstone says she "didn't expect [the video] to do what it did," but that she doesn't regret putting it online. Despite considerable outcry over the video (a poll of Guardian readers found that nearly 80 percent thought the video was "gross"), Silverstone tells Et: "I've had nothing but great feedback. ... I think it's more like the media makes it ... maybe more sensational than it is. »
