Neil Patrick Harris could've played Chandler, and eight other things we learned from the 'Friends' oral history
6 April 2012 8:46 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Imagine, for a moment, that it’s September of 1994 and you’ve just left work. After grooving to Ace of Base’s “I Saw the Sign” on the drive home, you check your beeper, then settle in to watch something on your brand-new satellite TV. You surf over to NBC and notice that a new show is playing — it looks like it’s about a group of six attractive people just sitting around at a coffeehouse. Weird premise. Then you notice a few familiar faces. Hey, is that Doogie Howser? And your sister’s favorite actress from Knots Landing? And the chick from Speed? »

The Alternate Reality Friends Cast Will Blow Your TV-Loving Mind
5 April 2012 8:13 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
It’s impossible to imagine watching an episode of Friends without seeing the familiar faces of Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt Leblanc. The chemistry generated between the gang made it one of the most iconic lineups in TV history. Hell, they’re like the Beatles of situation comedies! John, Paul, George and Kevin just doesn’t have the same ring to it, y’know? So by the same token, it’s a little jarring to see the original casting choices for the legendary show.
The news comes to us from the folks at Vanity Fair, who are running an “oral history” of the series in their latest issue. It’s definitely fascinating to see how television history might have turned out. Could Jon Cryer have been a snarkier Chandler? Would Tea Leoni have made a better Rachel? Tantalizing questions indeed! Click under the »

Tower Heist Blu-ray Review
19 March 2012 2:42 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Love them or hate them, it’s undeniable that Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy have had their moments of comedy gold. Whilst Tower Heist is not up there with their greatest, it’s not actually too far behind. Available now on DVD and Blu-ray our review follows…
Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) has managed one of the most luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than a decade. Under his watchful eye, nothing goes undetected. Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) lives in the tower’s penthouse apartment, but finds himself under house arrest after being caught stealing from his investors. Arthur becomes enemy number one for the workers in the block when they discover that they are amongst the hardest hit by Arthur’s dodgy dealings, as he’s managed to make their pension pot disappear… Kovacs assembles a motley crew of workers and, under the »

Blu-ray Review: Tower Heist

Stars: Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Michael Peña, Alan Alda, Tea Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe | Written by Ted Griffin, Jeff Nathanson | Directed by Brett Ratner
Let’s be honest, seeing the names Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Brett Ratner all attached to the same movie, especially an action comedy, doesn’t really instil confidence in any but the most undiscerning of movie lover. So imagine my surprise when I found myself really rather enjoying Tower Heist – laughing in all the right places, feeling emotion for the characters, and really rooting for the good guys when they mount their heist on Arthur Shaw’s apartment.
Ben Stiller gives a surprisingly fantastic central performance as Josh Kovacs, the mild-mannered hotel manager who, despite trying to do right by his employees, loses their money to Alda’s sleaze bag of a money man Shaw, and it was great to »

Tea Leoni interview: Tower Heist, Brett Ratner, Deep Impact and Jurassic Park III
13 March 2012 7:25 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
What’s it like to work with Brett Ratner? Why is Alan Alda scary? And why was Jurassic Park III quite so special for her? Tea Leoni has been giving us some answers…
It was very early in the morning, Us time, when I was connected to Tea Leoni to have a natter about the DVD and Blu-ray release of Tower Heist. It was mid-afternoon in the UK, and I’d had the benefit of many coffees. Tea Leoni, I suspect, had not, as she reminded me several times during our chat that it was very early.
But it didn’t affect, or didn’t seem to, what she was talking about. And it turned out to be a really interesting chat, not least when we got around to her thoughts on Jurassic Park III. Here’s how it went…

David Duchovny unhappy about picture in story debunking 'sex addiction' - Realbollywood.com News
9 March 2012 4:46 AM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
New York, Mar 9: David Duchovny is infuriated over being named and pictured in a story about sex addiction being a "myth" and an excuse "for men who are in trouble with their wives."
The 'X-Files' star, who famously went into treatment for sex addiction in 2008 when he and wife Tea Leoni briefly separated, won a Golden Globe for his role as a womanizing novelist on Showtime series 'Californication'.
But he wasn't amused and called in his lawyers when The Post ran a story on Sunday by clinical psychologist David J Ley.
Ley, author of 'The Myth of Sex Addiction', stated that while stars including Duchovny, Tiger Woods. »

Duchovny In Legal Spat With Psychologist
9 March 2012 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
David Duchovny's lawyer has ordered a psychologist to stop using the actor's name in association with a new book on sex addiction.
The X Files star has talked candidly about his sex addiction issues in the past after he split from his wife Tea Leoni in 2008 and enrolled in a rehab program to treat his personal problems.
Clinical psychologist David J. Ley has written a new book on the subject, titled The Myth of Sex Addiction, and he used Duchovny as an example in an article published in the New York Post over the weekend.
The actor's attorney, Stanton L. Stein, subsequently sent a letter to Ley and ordered him to stop associating the star with his research, writing, "We understand that your book characterises sex addiction as a 'fictitious disease'... used as an excuse for irresponsible behaviour. Mr. Duchovny objects to being associated with your book in any way."
Stein tells the New York Post, "I am not complaining about whether sexual addiction is or is not an actual medical condition... I am objecting to him using my client's picture in order to sell his book. The purpose of my letter was to tell him I don't want him using illegal pictures of my client in his book." »
Terra Nova Might Go To Netflix; 'You Kill Me' Being Turned Into A Showtime Series; Ken Marino Joins Judy Greer For ABC Pilot & More
8 March 2012 7:46 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With news yesterday that David Fincher was battling over an already $100 million budget on the original Netflix series "House of Cards," it now appears the rental/streaming company are interested in one of the most expensive shows already airing on television -- "Terra Nova." Fox canceled the show earlier this week but Netflix are rumored to be in talks with the network over reviving the show in the same way they will with another canceled Fox property -- "Arrested Development." The show reportedly performs well on DVR, so Netflix may represent the perfect new home for the sci-fi series.
This comes alongside news that Netflix are looking into the possibility of becoming a cable service. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, who always seems to be talking about one plan or another, raised the possibility of having cable operators offer Netflix's streaming video service but "not in the short term."

Blu-ray Review: Stellar Ensemble Elevates Relatively Routine ‘Tower Heist’
29 February 2012 10:51 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Brett Ratner’s “Tower Heist” features a Lot of actors who have proven talents but haven’t made the best career decisions of late. The number of disappointing films that star Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, and Tea Leoni could fill a film festival in Hell. And Ratner has committed his own crimes against celluloid. So, I was dreading “Tower Heist.” There’s nothing to dread here. It’s a mediocre comedy that sometimes even rises above that by virtue of its strong pacing and game ensemble. It’s no classic but it’s surprisingly enjoyable at times, only really falling apart in the final, ludicrous act.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Trying to make a star-studded ensemble heist comedy a la “Ocean’s 11” that uses the current financial crisis as its background was actually a pretty clever idea. What if Danny Ocean’s team could take down Bernie Madoff? Or, even better, »

Michael Bay Casts An Israeli Supermodel To Play The Female Lead In Pain And Gain
28 February 2012 8:03 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Michael Bay is a man that knows what he likes and one thing that definitely fits in that category is beautiful women. Since making his feature debut in 1995, Bay has never failed to include at least one beauty in his cast, be it Téa Leoni, Vanessa Marcil, Liv Tyler, Kate Beckinsale, Gabrielle Union, Scarlett Johansson, Megan Fox, Isabel Lucas or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. And if you think just because his next film, Pain and Gain, is a smaller affair it won't contain any hotties, then you are sadly mistaken. Per Variety, Bay has enlisted Israeli supermodel Bar Paly to play the lead female role in his upcoming crime comedy. The report also says that Tony Shalhoub, who has all but completely fallen off the map since the end of the Emmy winning series Monk, has also signed on. Based on a true story, the film is about two muscle-headed bodybuilders »
Watch Now: The Tower Heist Humor You Didn't See in Theaters

Script? What script? Mind you, that's no slam on the writers of the very funny flick Tower Heist. But let's face it, every now and then, it's pretty entertaining to see talented individuals just wing their dialogue. In this exclusive look at a gag reel featured on the movie's Blu-ray edition (released earlier this week), we get to witness the likes of Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Téa Leoni, Matthew Broderick, Michael Peña and Gabourey Sidibe show off their amazing improvisational skills. And while impressive, the same can't be said about their ability to keep themselves from laughing. Which, of course, just makes it all that much better. »

Blu-ray Review: Tower Heist Is Action Comedy Escapism
22 February 2012 6:30 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Tower Heist arrived on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand Tuesday, and I had the chance to view the Universal release on Blu-ray. The film was directed by Brett Ratner and stars Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Judd Hirsch, Téa Leoni, Michael Peña, and Gabourey Sidibe.
Ratner is one of the worst directors in Hollywood, and is frankly one of the biggest douches around. Despite his lack of artistic and personal integrity, Tower Heist is much better than expected. Heist movies are my one of my favorite genres. They range from the comedy of Ocean's Eleven, to the action-packed drama of Heat. Tower Heist falls on the side of comedy.
The story follows a group of hard-working hotel employees who discover that they have lost their pensions (and in some cases life savings) when the building’s wealthy owner, Arthur Shaw, is accused of fraud. »

Blu-ray Review: Tower Heist (Starring Ben Stiller & Eddie Murphy)
21 February 2012 11:35 AM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Eddie Murphy’s original idea to unite several black comics on screen becomes a mediocre crime comedy in Tower Heist. This one-time watch popcorn flick has a few laughs thanks to lesser-known actors like Casey Affleck and Michael Peña. Murphy appears in rear form, sidestepping the past ten years of slapstick comedic roles for a straight character. Although he only takes center stage for a small part of the movie, it’s the segment with the most laughs. Murphy helps to bolster the energy whenever Matthew Broderick tries to suck the life out of the heist with his Debbie downer performance. When you’re not distracted by Gabourey Sidibe’s bad Jamaican accent or the odd romance that buds between Ben Stiller and Téa Leoni, you may even find yourself enjoying this Tower Heist. The Blu-ray comes with a few bonus features that warrant watching, especially two alternative endings that seem better than the original. »

Tower Heist Blu-ray Review
20 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
“Men on a mission” films and the heist genre (arguably the same thing) in general are virtually impossible to screw up. Even Brett Ratner, a director that (perhaps unfairly) gets beaten up regularly for the insensitive things he says in the press, and his party-boy image can deliver a film like Tower Heist, and it plays fairly well at home. You’ve got an ensemble of actors with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy playing against Michael Pena, Casey Affleck, Mathew Broderick, Tea Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe and Alan Alda, and with that cast you’re not going to get bored, even if you can see where the film needed a little more oomph. It’s all about seeing a plan come together, and how that plan gets complicated. And if the film isn’t as great as it could have been, well there’s that, but it’s just good enough. »
