Trailer: Illeana Douglas Announces Fourth (and Final) Season of ‘Easy To Assemble’

25 May 2012 3:14 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »

September is the likely launch date for the fourth and final season of Easy to Assemble, the Ikea-backed show about an actress who leaves show biz to take a job at the furniture store. If the trailer is any indication, the show's creator and star Illeana Douglas will be joined by some familiar faces: Tom Arnold, Ed Begley Jr., Fred Willard, Roger Bart, and Kate Micucci. "When the opportunity arose to do season four, I said, 'Well, there's only one logical place to go,' which is to go back to the store," Douglas told The Hollywood Reporter. "All along, my character has been confronting herself, kind of like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but more my personal point of view." The fourth season brings Douglas back from Sweden, Ikea's headquarters and the setting for season 3's Finding North, distributed on My Damn Channel. Easy to Assemble's second season reached 13 million organic »

Girls on film: how Tim Burton finally got his vamp right

18 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

You can't really be an auteur until you've got your type – and that's just as true for the women directors

Tim Burton's Dark Shadows may have received a kicking from critics, but one person has emerged from the dust-up unscathed: Eva Green, the French actress who plays the evil witch Angelique Bouchard. With her red-lacquered lips, her crazy-beautiful eyes and possessed-marionette limbs, Green's lolling vamp represents the perfection of a type Burton has long been trying to get right – from Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns, to Lisa Marie Smith's bosomy Martian in Mars Attacks!, to Anne Hathaway's White Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

Critics may be tired of the rest of Burton's directorial signatures – the ornate production designs, the seventies kitsch, the collaboration with Johnny Depp – but he's finally perfected his vamps: peroxide-blonde, big-chested, cinch-waisted, eyes like Bambi's.

All film directors have their types. Everyone »

Why Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear is among the finest thrillers of the 1990s

9 January 2012 3:28 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Boldly directed and featuring a great turn from Robert De Niro, Cape Fear is among Martin Scorsese’s best films, reckons Ryan. And here's why...

Following the critical acclaim earned by such wilfully individual movies as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese’s decision to direct a remake of an old 60s thriller was a surprising one. And yet, Scorsese’s foray into the mainstream proved to be a wise move, providing the director with yet more praise and a proper box-office hit.

In retrospect, it’s not difficult to see what Scorsese saw in the film’s apparently simple premise, adapted from John MacDonald’s 1957 novel, The Executioners. The 1962 Cape Fear, directed by J Lee Thompson and featuring the chiselled jaws of Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in its lead roles, was a tale of good versus evil: maniac convict Max Cady (Mitchum) gets out of jail »
