Michael Davis: Once You Go Black… Part Two
22 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
If you have not done so, please read last week’s article. Thanks.
The opening night of the movie Blade, I was sitting in a packed Magic Johnson Theater in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles. Crenshaw is a predominantly black community, so needless to say the crowd for a black superhero movie in a black neighborhood in theaters owned by a black sports superstar was overwhelmingly Jewish. The Jews, they so love to hang in the hood. Black hats, long black coats – they roll big pimpin’ style.
I kid, I joke. The audience was crushingly African American. There was a lot of excitement in the crowd. When the lights went down the audience started to clap and that’s rare in a black movie house. To have a black crowd clap for a movie before they have seen it is extraordinary.
Black people rarely do that. We take our leisure time seriously. »

Danny Glover: the good cop
18 May 2012 4:11 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He found fame as a policeman in the Lethal Weapon films, but it's his political activism that really drives him. He talks about his beloved Haiti, Obama's disappointing presidency and his friendship with Mel Gibson
A few years ago, Danny Glover sat in his car and cried. The Hollywood star and political activist had just heard the news that his friend, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected president, had been toppled in a coup backed by the Us and France. "It was 28 February 2004 and I sat in that parking lot crying uncontrollably, knowing that we'd have to start building again."
Glover fixes me with tired eyes as we sit in an upstairs room of the Crossroads Women's Centre in London's Kentish Town on a rainy Saturday afternoon. He has just flown in from the Us and the same evening will give a speech at the centre during a fundraiser for the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. »

Inside Cannes 2012: A Top 10 Survivor’s Guide
17 May 2012 4:59 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
By no means do I consider myself a seasoned pro when it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, but going into my sixth edition, I’ve set out a flight path that works miraculously well and gets me into the second Sunday’s rerun day of the films in the Main Comp without the major fatigue factor. One of the biggest misconceptions is that a journalist can somehow cover the Main Comp and the three sidebars and top off the evening with one party invite over another. Truth be told, you could live it up if that’s your cup of champagne, but for me, Cannes is about soaking up what’s on screen, pacing yourself (five film days are rare and so are back to back party nights) and taking the proper measures to remain alert while fighting off fatigue.

Michael Sheen Joins Paul Weitz's 'Admission' With Paul Rudd & Tina Fey
27 April 2012 8:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the fourth season of NBC’s “30 Rock” was arguably its weakest, one of the highlights was Michael Sheen’s four episode arc as Wesley Snipes – Liz Lemon’s boyfriend who she kind of hated. So for anyone who enjoyed seeing Tina Fey and Michael Sheen together as a couple on screen will be pleased to hear that they’ll be together once again in “Admission.”
Paul Weitz’s (“About a Boy,” “Little Fockers”) comedy will follow an unmarried college admissions counselor (Fey) who strikes up a romance with an old school friend (Paul Rudd), despite being in a relationship with her stiff British boyfriend (Sheen). As much as we like the idea of these two actors on screen together again, it doesn’t immediately sound like the best vehicle to us. Weitz’s output since “About a Boy” has been far from prolific, and it sounds like Sheen will »

Michael Sheen Set for Tina Fey, Paul Rudd Movie
27 April 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Michael Sheen will kinda-sorta reprise his Wesley Snipes role from 30 Rock in the upcoming Admission, starring Tina Fey an Paul Rudd. Fey plays a college admissions counselor who falls for an old friend (Rudd), even though she has what The Hollywood Reporter calls a "stiff" British boyfriend (Sheen). Awww, adorable brunets on the slightly shorter side of the height distribution curve, all in one movie! About love. »

Michael Sheen And Tina Fey Reunite For Admission
27 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Michael Sheen is to join the cast of Admission, alongside current comedy favourites Tina Fey and Paul Rudd.
The film is based on the novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz and is about a college admissions officer (Fey) who meets an old friend from her school days (Rudd) and sparks fly. The problem is, she already has a boyfriend, now played by Sheen.
This won’t be the first time Sheen has played Fey’s love interest (lucky sod) as they were together in the brilliant 30 Rock. He played an annoying Englishman named Wesley Snipes, possibly referring to Snipes being the only person in the the world Sheen hasn’t portrayed yet. They had great chemistry and it was fun to see the normally very intense star let his luxurious hair down. He will be a great addition to Admission we can’t wait to see it.
The film will be »

Surprising Famous Celebrity Jailbirds - Tax Problems of Rich and Famous
19 April 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Who are some of the surprising rich and famous celebrity men and women who have spent time in jail? Mid-April always brings talk of famous jailbirds who failed to pay their Us tax bill - did you pay your taxes yesterday? Last year, Wesley Snipes lost his appeal against a three-year jail sentence for willfully failing to file federal income tax returns in April 2008. He sits in jail now. Snipes will not be allowed to appeal his prison sentence to the Us Supreme Court. The 'Blade' actor was sent to jail for three years in December 2010 for tax-related crimes and although Wesley claimed his constitutional rights were violated after charges were filed in Florida rather than New York, New Jersey or Los Angeles where the alleged crimes occurred, the court ruled last year not to allow an appeal to go ahead. The three-year jail-term comes as a result »

Happy Tax Day! As we kissed our W2 forms goodbye (for now) and shoved them into a folder, we got to thinkin' about all of Hollywood's big names that have gotten a crackdown from the IRS (Hi, Nicolas Cage and Wesley Snipes!). Believe us, there's a lot more where that came from, so what better way to celebrate tax day than to take a look back on all of the famous faces who have dealt with tax troubles? »

Community 3.15 "Origins of Vampire Mythology" Recap
This week Community begins where all good stories should begin – with the make-up of Trobed (unlike last week’s forced apology, this was a real make-up, handshake and all.) Pierce laments the fact that everyone seems to have a best friend but him, but before the group can get start an argument, Dean Pelton arrives to share his newest obsession – trains. All in favor of admitting you missed the Dean Pelton costume parade, say “aye!” (Aye!)
Dean Pelton tells them that they need to abide by the rules because the traveling circus is coming to town. This seems to pique Britta’s interest, and when she confirms the name, she realizes that it’s the carnival that employs her ex-boyfriend, Blade (Parks & Recreation’s Kirk Fox.) Yes, Blade as in the same name that Wesley Snipes harbors in his famous vampire movies. The group »

In Honor Of Tax Day: The 12 Sexiest Celebrity Tax Evaders Ever!
12 April 2012 9:13 AM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »
Everyone knows that not paying taxes can become a celebrity’s legacy. (Go with me on this.) When someone mentions Willie Nelson or Wesley Snipes, if you don’t automatically make a joke about weed or Passenger 57, the next easy go-to in your bag of Nelson-Snipes jokes is totally about tax evasion, I just know it. But stars who don’t abide by the tax code are such a common thing that it’s not that shocking anymore once you hear who’s been in hot water for it. Martha Stewart. Snoop Dogg. Val Kilmer. Teri Polo! Clearly she wasn’t reporting her income from being a Miss America judge. So sure, lots of celebs get in trouble for it, but haven’t we all wondered who the sexiest tax evaders are? We sure have: 12.

Act of Valor DVD/Blu-ray Cover Art and Specs
4 April 2012 9:41 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Despite its, shall we say, questionable acting and writing, “Act of Valor” was a pretty good slam-bang action flick. I mean, we’re talking about real-life Navy SEALs acting in a movie here, folks. That’s gotta count for something, right? Only if you don’t demand great acting or writing or plotting in your movie. In which case you probably don’t like Jean-Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal or Wesley Snipes movies, either, especially their later direct-to-dvd outputs. If that’s the case, we have nothing to talk about, you and I. “Act of Valor” is basically those movies, only with better action and no prima donna superstar’s ego to massage. The Bandito Brothers’ film lands on DVD and Blu-ray June 5th, 2012 courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Full specs for both formats and cover art below. An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, »

Charles Barkley's New TV Ad - Is This Really Necessary?
2 April 2012 11:18 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Heard you missed me; well I'm back! I was far far away in another place of the world, and when I got back this was staring me in face. Those of you who are long time readers know I strongly detest seeing black men in drag. It's nothing more than the symbolic castration and neutering of black men to make them "safe" and "non-threatening". Why so many seem to be so willing to go through it baffles me. I didn't like it when Flip Wilson was doing Geraldine, and I don't like Madea or RuPaul or Wesley Snipes in To Wong Foo, and I really don't like Charles Barkley's new drag act either. And in case you're wondering why he's made up that way, it's for a new TV commercial premiering next week for Weight Watchers, and the theme of the spot is "Lose it like a man" in »

Famous Faces in Their Film Debuts
28 March 2012 9:23 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Flavorwire's Jason Bailey put together this excellent 3:36 video featuring famous actors in their film debuts in honor of the DVD and Blu-ray release of the excellent documentary Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel, which gives good reason as to why they began with Jack Nicholson in Corman's 1960 feature Little Shop of Horrors. As for why they chose the other 35 actors featured I have no idea, but it is a fun watch nonetheless. Below the video I have included the list of actors featured in order of their appearance. And if you haven't yet made it a point to add Corman's World to your Netflix queue do so right now. I wrote down a few of my thoughts on it back in December as well as in my DVD column yesterday. Starring (in order of appearance): Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Anthony Edwards, Eric Stoltz, Woody Harrelson, »

Mike Figgis at Open Weekend: 'Am I a control freak? Yes'
27 March 2012 7:39 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Carlisle-born film-maker delighted the crowd with some frank tales about how – and how not – to make it in Hollywood
On Saturday night at the Guardian's Open Weekend, film-maker Mike Figgis promised he was going to name names – and he duly did. Figgis gave a brilliant insight into the ups and downs of being a Hollywood director; in his case, more downs than ups. Figgis was born in Carlisle and grew up in Kenya (his father was a frustrated musician and DJ, his mother secretary to Ernest Hemingway, who may or may not have had a passion for her), and in the 1990s looked as if he could become one of Hollywood's top directors, with films such as Internal Affairs and Leaving Las Vegas. But, as he explained to a captivated audience, every time he got within sight of the pinnacle, he blew it.
The trouble is, Figgis said, he »

The Expendables 3 to Start Filming This Fall
23 March 2012 4:40 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
There may be a very good reason that Sylvester Stallone is going back to an R rating for his upcoming sequel The Expendables 2. If co-star Randy Couture has his facts straight, Sly is planning a trilogy of films for this franchise, and he wants to stay on the good side of his fans to ensure that happens.
A third film seems like a no brainer, and it will be coming quicker than we could have imagined. According to Couture, this next installment of the action icon packed series is already planned and will "probably" shoot in the fall, shortly after The Expendables 2 hits theaters in August.
Here is his exact quote.
"Probably going to start shooting Expendables 3 in the fall after The Expendables 2 comes out in August."
Sorry if that seemed redundant. You can watch the interview here. Go to the 3:02 mark for Randy Couture's comments. »

Woody Harrelson’s 9 Best Movie Roles
21 March 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For over 25 years, Woody Harrelson has entertained us with a wide array of characters ranging from psychopaths to lovable losers. This year alone we've seen him in two very different parts: a wickedly corrupt L.A. cop in "Rampart" and a Republican party strategist in "Game Change." His latest role -- sure to be one of his more colorful -- is Haymitch Abernathy, the drunken mentor of Katniss in "The Hunger Games."
To celebrate his versatility, we look back at Harrelson’s nine best performances in what has become an impressive career.
9. 'A Scanner Darkly' (2006)
"The Hunger Games" isn’t the first time Harrelson has worked with existing material. In Richard Linklater’s adaptation of the classic Philip K. Dick sci-fi thriller, Harrelson plays Ernie Luckman, the mellow yet extremely paranoid member of a group of drug addicts that have an undercover cop in their midst. Starring opposite Robert Downey Jr., »
