HBO likely to land three telefilm nods for 'Grey Gardens,' 'Into the Storm' and 'Taking Chance'

13 July 2009 7:41 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

Our pundits — forum moderators Robert "Rob L" Licuria and Chris "Boomer" Beachum   (AwardsHeaven.net) — predict that HBO will continue to dominate this category, scoring nods for three of its movies made for television – "Grey Gardens," "Into the Storm," and "Taking Chance." They also think that Lifetime will get a nomination for "Prayers for Bobby." However, they disagree over which telefilm will get the sixth slot on the list. Boomer opts for the stirring WWII biopic "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler" while Rob reluctantly endorses the TV movie version of the Emmy-winning drama series "24." Best TV Movie

"The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler" – Boomer

"Grey Gardens" – Rob, Boomer

"Into the Storm" – Rob, Boomer

"Prayers for Bobby" – Rob, Boomer

"Taking Chance" – Rob, Boomer

"24: Redemption" – Rob Rob's Commentary: I don't think it is very fair that "24: Redemption" be allowed to compete win this category, especially with "24" eligible in the Drama Series categories.

Two Kevins and three Brits could compete for TV movie actor Emmy

13 July 2009 7:40 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

Our two resident Emmy experts  — forum moderators Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria (AwardsHeaven.net) — also agree on the five men who will contend for best actor in a TV movie or mini-series. They anticipate Kevin Bacon ("Taking Chance"), Brendan Gleeson ("Into the Storm") and Kevin Kline ("Cyrano de Bergerac") earning their first Emmy recognition when nominations are announced on Thursday. Both of them think Ian McKellen ("King Lear") will land his fourth Emmy nod while previous champ Kenneth Branagh ("Conspiracy") should reap his fourth Emmy bid in this category for "Wallender." And unlike the lead actress in a movie/mini race, both Boomer and Rob think this could be a competitive category with seven other actors in the mix. Best Movie/Mini-series Actor

Kevin Bacon, "Taking Chance" – Rob, Boomer

Kenneth Branagh, "Wallander: One Step Behind" – Rob, Boomer

Brendan Gleeson, "Into the Storm" – Rob, Boomer

The World According to Lee Daniels

10 June 2009 5:48 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

Director, producer and general force of nature Lee Daniels is a hot property these days. So hot that two studios, Lionsgate and the Weinstein Company, are suing each other over the rights to distribute his second directorial effort, "Precious," the winner of both the jury and audience awards at Sundance earlier this year. Lawsuits willing, "Precious" opens in the fall, and in the meantime Daniels has "Tennessee" in theaters, a small-scale Americana-steeped road movie he produced under his own banner of Lee Daniels Entertainment. "Tennessee," directed by David Cronenberg nephew Aaron Woodley, has the distinction of containing the first Mariah Carey acting role to officially see theaters since "Glitter," something that was looked upon as potentially laughable when the film premiered at Tribeca last year, but that seems a lot less so now, in light of the singer's praised turn as a social worker in "Precious."

It's that fearlessness with material,

The Devil’s Tomb (aka Ice 44, 2009) Movie Review

7 May 2009 11:31 AM, PDT | From Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news

Who would have thought that after bursting onto the scene in 1996 as a loudmouth, Quan-loving jock in Cameron Crowe’s romantic comedy “Jerry Maguire” that ten short years later Cuba Gooding Jr. would be going blow-for-blow with Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Wesley Snipes in the direct-to-dvd action niche? Of course, unlike those other actors, Gooding has actually maintained a steady and very diverse career that involves dramatic TV roles and supporting turns in Hollywood A-list films. Gooding’s latest direct-to-dvd offering is “The Devil’s Tomb” (previously “Ice 44”), a horror-action thriller that puts the actor in combat fatigues and behind an M16, a place he’s become increasingly comfortable. Who knew Radio would grow up to become such a convincing gung-ho action movie star? “The Devil’s Tomb” has Gooding Jr. playing Mack, the stoic, haunted leader of a small squad of mercenaries that hire out for dangerous missions.

A Shout-Out to the Silent Sidekicks

7 May 2009 10:59 AM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

They say in every successful relationship, there's a flower and a gardener -- a star and an extra -- and that people gravitate toward those who'll let them inhabit their instinctive roles. A similarly symbiotic dynamic is often set up, in film and comedy, between a main character and his or her silent sidekick. The silent sidekick is a somewhat exotic species, but there are enough of them and enough similarities in the function they have played in some famous films and infamous comic pairings, that we decided to take a closer look on the eve of "The Brothers Bloom," which opens on the 15th, and which features Rinko Kikuchi as a bomb-making expert named Bang Bang who speaks, literally, three words of English (or any other language). Below are some of our favorites.

7 May 2009 10:18 AM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

The winner of this year’s MTV Movie Awards … us. That’s right, we’re the big winners. Mainly because of these fake scenes from movies that will never see the light of day. My favorite? I’m glad you asked. I would have to say the first one here, “Slaughter Shack.” Mainly because I have decided it’s making fun of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Hunt Stages Jerry Maguire Reunion

9 April 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actress-turned-tv personality Bonnie Hunt staged a mini Jerry Maguire reunion on her chat show on Thursday when she surprised co-star Regina King with a special guest.

As the Ray star was trying to recall the films she had made with her Jerry Maguire husband Cuba Gooding, Jr., the Oscar-winning actor appeared from behind a door on set.

Hunt played Renee Zellweger's sister in the hit sports and romance film and Gooding, Jr. was cast as the star player represented by her sports agent brother-in-law Tom Cruise.

A stunned King was left lost for words as she embraced Gooding, Jr. and even Hunt admitted she was taken aback by her own surprise.

The host said, "This has made my whole day... That is so fun. I had a dream like that once."

And when the actor revealed he was about to start shooting George Lucas' war movie Red Tails in Europe, King joked, "(Do you) need a wife?"

Gooding, Jr. said, "I've never connected so quickly with an actress as quickly as I connected with you."

King then recalled Janet Jackson had also competed for the role of the actor's wife in Jerry Maguire.

George Lucas signs Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard to WWII film

9 April 2009 10:40 AM, PDT | From Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news

Few, if any, of the most influential directors of all time can say they've only directed six films. Yet, after four Star Wars movies, the very influential American Graffiti and his first effort, Thx 1138, George Lucas can claim just that. And really, he was part of this category after his third film, Star Wars, which, besides setting the standard for modern special effects, spawned companies like Skywalker Sound and Industrial Light and Magic, as well as the single most important merchandising campaign in film history.
