5 July 2009 7:46 PM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

Two guest stars are returning to Fox's Lie to Me for expanded duties next season: Mekhi Phifer, who appeared in the last two episodes of the crime drama's freshman season, will return as a series regular. Jennifer Beals, who also guest-starred in two episodes, including the season finale, will recur, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Phifer will be reprising his role as FBI agent Reynolds, who was brought in to liaise between the Lightman Group and the FBI when the lie-detection specialists are called in to help solve cases that can't be cracked through traditional investigative tactics.

Beals will continue as Assistant U.S. Attorney Zoe Landau, Cal Lightman's (Tim Roth) ex-wife and mother of their teenage daughter.

The 20th/Imagine-produced Lie to Me is set to kick off its sophomore season Sept. 28 with Shawn Ryan as the new showrunner.

Inside track: Emmy race for lead actor in a drama

4 July 2009 7:00 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

Since the nominees for TV's top award are a lot like TV reruns, there's a good chance we'll see most of last year's nominees for outstanding lead actor in a drama series return when bids are unveiled on July 16. Judging panels will not be used this year to whittle down final nominees after evaluating sample episodes submitted by the top 10 voter-getters determined by a popular vote of members of the TV academy's acting branch. This year, six nominees (instead of the traditional five) will be decided by an outright popular vote, so that makes predicting the outcome much easier. Sure bets probably include last year's nominees Gabriel Byrne ("In Treatment"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), Hugh Laurie ("House M.D.) and 2008 winner Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"). That leaves room for just one more. Serial past winner James Spader ("Boston Legal"), who made last year's rundown? Previous champ Kiefer Sutherland

‘Inglourious Basterds’ and the Tarantino Universe

1 July 2009 7:43 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Whether it’s his razor sharp dialogue, his impeccable use of popular music, or his ever-stylish cinematography, Quentin Tarantino is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most exciting and talented directors. And judging by the buzz surrounding his latest film, the WWII epic Inglourious Basterds, that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

 

One of the things I like best about Quentin Tarantino is how he always works in sly references to his previous films. Not only does it give us fans something to look for, it also makes his films that much richer and more complex. Take, for example, the Vega Brothers.

In Pulp Fiction, John Travolta plays Vincent Vega. In Reservoir Dogs, Michael Madsen plays Mr. Blonde a.k.a Vic Vega. While there is no dialogue linking the two as brothers, as viewers, we make the connection. Suddenly, their brotherhood adds a new dimension to each of their characters.

The Time Traveller’s Wife Trailer Starring Rachel McAdams and Eric Banana… I Mean Bana

15 June 2009 6:20 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

The first trailer for the upcoming sci-fi romance The Time Traveller's Wife hit the web over the weekend, based on the best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger. The movie stars Eric Bana as a man who has a strange genetic disorder that causes him to shift through time uncontrollably, leading to complications in his marriage to the woman he loves (played by Rachel McAdams). I didn't know much about the book previously, but after watching the trailer I am immediately reminded of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in that this is first and foremost a drama, but it uses sci-fi as an interesting tool to explore relationships and life in general. The thing that makes The Time Traveller's Wife slightly less promising, however, is the fact that it doesn't have a director like David Fincher behind it. Director Robert Schwentke previously did the Jodie Foster thriller Flightplan and the pilot

Cannes Winners Announced

25 May 2009 2:40 AM, PDT | From Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news

Austrian Director Michael Haneke, who is not unfamiliar with film-festival acclaim, has earned the top Palme d'Or prize at the 62nd annual Cannes Film Festival. His entry, The White Ribbon, had received qualified raves from film critics attending the festival. Xan Brooks of Britain's Guardian wrote that "if the picture finally does not quite achieve the level of a masterpiece, this may be down to the fact that I've always found Haneke to be a cold, stern and aloof director; the creator of films that I can admire but never love." That opinion of his work appeared to be reflected by the fact that until now, Haneke had always been an also-ran in the Cannes contest. He had won the Grand Prix in 2001 for The Piano Teacher and Best Director in 2005 for Caché, but he has never been able to take home the golden palm award. Commercial success has also eluded him. When he remade his German-language Funny Games in English last year with Naomi Watts and Tim Roth in the starring roles, the New York Times's A.O. Scott observed, "His scrupulously constructed, skillfully made films, many of which have won prizes at leading international festivals, are excruciatingly suspenseful and also, more often than not, clammy and repellent." It grossed only $1.29 million. The White Ribbon was picked up by Sony Classics on the first day of the festival for an undisclosed amount.

2009 Upfronts: Fox

18 May 2009 12:11 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

Fox seems to be hoping that laughter really is the best medicine. At the 2009 Upfronts the network announced it was adding four comedies — three half-hour and one full hour — to its schedule. Irreverent comedian Wanda Sykes also gets a new late-night panel talk show.

The half-hours include Brothers, which stars former NFL player Michael Strahan as a former footballer who returns to his home town after a career with a big-city NFL club; The Cleveland Show, a spinoff from Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy and featuring the animated adventures of Peter Griffin’s friend Cleveland Brown who has moved back to his Virginia hometown; and Sons of Tucson, about three young brothers who hire Tyler Labine to stand in for their father, who has been sent to prison.

Could a Trip to 'The Other Side' Help Lindsay Lohan?

14 May 2009 9:02 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

There may have been rumblings that Lindsay Lohan could leave acting for good, but she's not done quite yet. Variety reports that she's going to star in a new indie fantasy comedy called The Other Side, which has a rather interesting cast list. La Lohan will be joined by: Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews, and Alanis Morissette. I almost feel like I catapulted back to the '90s.

The kicker: This sounds like a cross between Shutter Island and Mister Lonely... So, she'll play a grad student who nabs a summer job working at a science institute on a remote island. There, she comes across an eccentric community (of musicians, one would assume by this roster) who are hiding a big secret about a tragedy that happened years ago. I can only imagine that Dave Matthews went down on Alanis in a theater, driving Harrelson to become a serial killer who kills a discontented,

Lindsay Lohan Tries for Acting Comeback With ‘The Other Side’

14 May 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Fox tells another 'Lie'

13 May 2009 10:28 AM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

Fox has renewed the drama "Lie to Me" for a second season, with a high-profile change at the top. The network announced on Wednesday (May 13) that Shawn Ryan will take over as showrunner/executive producer when "Lie to Me" returns next year. "Lie to Me," which stars Tim Roth as truth-detection expert Cal Lightman, premiered earlier this spring to huge numbers after "American Idol." The show's ratings have predictably plummeted since Fox moved it to the 8 p.m. hour, but "Lie to Me" has still consistently won its relatively soft time period. The renewal coincided with the show's May 13 first-season...

DVD Playhouse--May 2009

DVD Playhouse—May 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount Studios releases two more classic titles from its library on special edition DVD: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is John Ford’s last masterpiece (although he would go on to direct two more very good films) from 1962: about an Eastern lawyer (James Stewart) who travels west only to find primal brutality in the form of sadistic bandit Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin, great as always) and pragmatic brutality in local rancher Tom Doniphon (John Wayne), each two sides of a coin that represent a way of life slowly dying out as Stewart’s modern brand of civilization tames the West. A perfect film, period. Howard Hawks’ El Dorado is essentially a remake of his earlier classic Rio Bravo, with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and a young James Caan as lawmen joining forces against corrupt cattle barons. Great fun. Two disc sets.
