Portland’s Rooftop Cinema Summer Schedule

9 July 2009 12:17 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

There is something insanely romantic about a movie on a city rooftop. And I’m not just talking taking a hold of your girl’s hand. It’s the night air, the hint nostalgia for drive-in movies, and hopefully stars in the sky as well as the screen.

Here is Portland’s schedule thanks to the Northwest Film Center …

The Northwest Film Center presents: Top Down: Rooftop Films July 16-August 27 This summer the Northwest Film Center’s Top Down rooftop cinema event is back for a fifth season.

DVD Review: ‘Heathers: 20th High School Reunion Edition’

30 June 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news

Back in March 1989, we were winding down after a crazy decade of questionable fashion, amazing music, and the end of a beloved President’s term. Madonna, The B-52’s and The Cure were dominating the radio, and the Academy Award for Best Picture would go to Driving Miss Daisy. That’s also when rookie director Michael Lehmann released his low budget black comedy, Heathers.

Set in Anytown, USA, Heathers is the dark and engaging story of high school junior Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) and her unwilling existence in the feared and revered power-clique, know as “The Heathers.” Led by the cruel and punishing Heather Chandler (Kim Walker), the Heathers consist of Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), a bulimic follower that loathes Chandler and secretly dreams of ruling the group, and Heather McNamara (Lisanne Falk), a cheerleader who has no identity and a need for acceptance.

When bad boy J.D. (Christian Slater) arrives at the school,

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" all over again

1 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

This just out: A remake of Girls Just Want to Have Fun is in the works. My wife’s reaction of “Why would they remake perfection?!” aside, I pretty much expect this news to be met with a big resounding thud.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not disrespecting the original 1985 movie.

http://www.afterellen.com/sites/www.afterellen.com/files/images/Girls Poster 53109.jpg">

I love this movie. In fact, I own this movie. (And in honor of this news, I watched it this weekend!) But to the best of my knowledge, Girls Just Want to Have Fun was never really a cultural phenomenon.

If you’re not familiar with the movie, the fun-seeking girls in question are a post-Square Pegs Sarah Jessica Parker as the shy army brat who loves to dance, a post-Quarterback Princess Helen Hunt as the madcap best friend who convinces

Even In The 00s, Girls Still Want To Have Fun

29 May 2009 7:07 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

I've never seen the 1985 movie Girls Just Want To Have Fun, but now that I've bothered looking it up, it looks like I have to-- Helen Hunt, Sarah Jessica Parker and Shannen Doherty in starring roles, and a rumored cameo by Robert Downey Jr.! Why would you remake a movie that serendipitously starred two future Oscar nominees and one fashion icon-to-be? Beats me, but Fox is trying it anyway, scheduling a remake of the very 80s movie with Michelle Morgan hired to rewrite the script. Variety says they'll be hanging on to the same plot about teenage girls who love to dance and want to be on the show Dance TV. On paper it very closely resembles the plot of Hairspray, minus the 60s setting and the fat acceptance and racial tension. I'm guessing that's mostly a coincidence, though, if only to not assume that John Waters somehow ripped this

29 May 2009 1:13 AM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

Twentieth Century Fox is limbering up for a remake of Girls Just Want To Have Fun, the Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker-starring teen comedy about two friends who just gotta dance.The film's plot saw new girl Janey (Parker) arrive in town and befriend Lynne (Hunt), bonding over their shared passion for dancing and a show called Dance TV in particular. On hearing that the show is coming to town, they're determined to appear, but Janey's dad disapproves and throws a spanner in the works.The film also featured a young Shannen Doherty and Hank Azaria and was a bit like Footloose but not nearly as good and with even worse hair and outfits. For fashion horse Sjp, in particular, it's proof that no one starts out well-dressed.A Disney Channel reboot was rumoured to be in the works, with Selena Gomez or Ashley Tinsdale lined up to star,

DVD Release List: May 26, 2009: I Can See You in a Carnivorous Hindsight vs. a Mega Shark

25 May 2009 7:12 PM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

If you were to look up "slim pickins" in the dictionary, I have a feeling the date May 26, 2009, is all you'd find. Aside from a couple of collections from Exploited Cinema and Rareflix, all we're left with is Dmx vs. a killer snake, Shannen Doherty, a couple of indies, and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

When an Asylum flick is our pick of the week, we're definitely in trouble!

'The Secret of Nimh' Now Available on Hulu

25 May 2009 1:40 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Though not terribly profitable back in 1982, I was nonetheless stoked to see The Secret of Nimh is yours for the taking on Hulu. The film was Don Bluth's first as a director following his split from Disney, although he's become better known for other movies and the classic video game Dragon's Lair.

Nimh was kind of overrun in the summer of '82 by some alien that ate Reese's Pieces, and it didn't help that all the talk about Bluth's film centered on how it was too violent to be rated G. The shame of it is, Bluth made a pretty good film, and one that raised the bar for traditional animation at that time. And check out that all-star cast: Wil Wheaton, Derek Jacobi, Dom DeLuise, and Shannen Doherty.

Shannen Doherty is off the single market as she reportedly is dating a photographer named Kurt Iswarienko. Claimed to have been dating for a month, the twosome were spotted sharing tender caresses when attending The Chandelier Room opening at the W Hoboken hotel in New Jersey last Thursday, April 23.

"I heard her telling someone, 'Yes, I am seeing Kurt. And yes, I'm very happy!'" a source tells Star Magazine. "And he was really protective of her; he kept his arm around her all night and made sure no one bothered her. You could tell she feels safe with him."

Before dating Kurt Iswarienko, Shannen Doherty has been married twice. She was first married to actor Ashley Hamilton before then tying the knot with socialite and film producer Rick Salomon. Both marriages ended in divorce.

Personal life aside, Shannen has been billed to star in drama-comedy movie "Burning Palms". The

Shannen Doherty is mourning the death of her beloved mutt, Roamy.

The actress' German shepherd dog died after a long battle with illness on 22 April and Doherty couldn't stop sobbing about the tragedy at the opening of the Chandelier Room in Hoboken, New Jersey the following night.

She told Life & Style magazine, "We had one last-ditch effort - it was dialysis, which was a lot of money. My dog has cost me 40 grand."

Roamy was a stray the actress found roaming near her home and she admits the pet was "attached" to her "at all times".

Shannen Doherty's recession solution: Reaganism!

28 April 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news

Manhattan, L.A., Sydney, Bali ... Hoboken? Yup. The W Hotel luxury empire, with 29 properties around the globe, opened its first New Jersey outpost last week, right across the Hudson from the more glittering borough, a place that already boasts six of Starwood Hotels' luxurious W properties. Take that, Manhattan. Thursday night's grandiose opening was packed both with proud locals and curious, dolled-up New Yorkers who had ventured across the river. Recession, schmecession: dozens of paid models stood around looking hot, a lounge singer performed atop a piano, and a woman writhed and fawned within a giant martini glass. Guests spun a W "Wonder Wheel" to win W-branded swag, and fireworks filled the Hoboken sky. And when the celebs came out in force, you never know when you'll find yourself in an impromptu, impassioned economics lesson. Who else came out to...

Brian Austin Green Doesn’t Want To Join 90210 Cast

20 April 2009 8:22 AM, PDT | From Hollyscoop.com | See recent HollyScoop news

It seems like ever since 90210 has gotten a remix, all the original cast members from the show have been aching to jump on board. First came Jennie Garth, reprising her role as grown-up Kelly, and Shannen Doherty wasn’t far behind, causing trouble as usual. Now Tori Spelling has finally come back to the old zip code, and while Brandon is a no-show on screen, he’s been worked into plot lines, and has even been directing some episodes. But when it comes to Brian Austin Green, we guess he’s perfectly content with his current career. ...
