If the weather doesn’t hold up for you, Memorial Day weekend won’t be spent grilling on the beach. But here’s the good news: There are plenty of TV marathons and specials to be found — plus, you’re being patriotic, in a way, by being an all-American couch potato. In addition to our What to Watch column (posting Sunday, and going weekly for the summer), here are some programs to keep on your radar.

'Max Payne 3' review: Don't speak, Max
18 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
In Max Payne 1, Max was a renegade cop with a constipated scowl and a Matrix trench coat. Looking back, he screams early ’00s as sure as Sonic the Hedgehog screams early ’90s. But the new Max is an action hero in decline. He’s fat. He wears dad khakis. He doesn’t shave. The first time we see him, he’s in a lonely apartment, drinking fifths of whiskey, chain smoking, and passing out on a bed without sheets. He’s a wreck.
The animators and motion-capture actors have given him a cautious gait, like he’s worried about throwing his back out. »

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Sneaks Onto Ps Vita and Has the Trailer to Prove it
18 May 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
By Jeffrey Matulef
Sony has announced their upcoming stealth/platformer Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (That's Sly 4, for those keeping track) will be coming out for the Ps Vita alongside its PS3 release later this year. The game is being developed by Sanzaru Games, who handled the HD conversion of the Sly Cooper Trilogy.
The Ps Vita version of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will include gyroscopic controls for certain sections. Based on the announcement trailer, this didn't look gimmicky like Nathan Drake standing in front of a curtain for several seconds until players could painstakingly slash an opening in the fabric (ugh).
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Vita will feature a cross-save feature where you can transfer (or transfar if you're Hideo Kojima) your data between the portable and console versions of the game. It's unknown if buying one version will grant access to the other, but given how »

USA Nears Deals For 2 Comedy Pilots, Picks Up Reality Pilot & Unveils Development Slate
17 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
USA Network, which is holding its first upfront presentation during the traditional broadcast upfront week this afternoon, has announced a couple of green lights and a slew of drama, comedy and reality projects in development from such auspices as Pierce Brosnan, Dick Wolf, Doug Liman & David Bartis, Howie Mandel, Mark Gordon, Kelsey Grammer and Mark Burnett. The pickups include reality pilot Bride Or Best Man and comedy pilots Paging Dr. Freed and Sirens. The most action is in the comedy area where USA prepares for the fall 2013 arrival of its first off-network comedy acquisition, hit Modern Family. The network’s goal is to have an original series ready by then to be paired with the Emmy-winning ABC comedy. USA is now finalizing the pilot order deals for two half-hour hopefuls, Paging Dr. Freed and the Dennis Leary-produced Sirens. Meanwhile, the network has opted not to go forward with its first »

Serious Sam: Bfe and Serious Sam Double D Xxl Coming to Xbla This Fall
16 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
By Jeffrey Matulef
Last year saw the release of two very different takes on the Serious Sam franchise. In one corner, there was Serious Sam Double D, a 2D indie Contra-style shooter by Shoot 1up and Explosionaide developer, Mommy's Best Games. In the other corner, we had Serious Sam creator, Croteam, launching the most recent chapter in the main series with prequel, Serious Sam 3: Bfe (Before First Encounter). Unfortunately, both titles were limited to PC releases, leaving console gamer in the cold. That's now being remedied as both titles have been announced to come out on Xbla this fall.
Serious Sam Double D's rerelease will sport an "Xxl" at the end of its title, signifying a host of new additions. These include new features, campaign missions, challenges, enemies, weapon upgrades, and a co-op mode.
Founder and lead designer at developer Mommy’s Best Games, Nathan Fouts, explained, “Our fans »

14 May 2012 8:06 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Loaded with magical extras and directed by visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh, Mirror Mirror arrives on DVD and Blu-ray June 26th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Mirror Mirror is a visually-spectacular, fresh and funny retelling of the classic Snow White legend. This family comedy features a star-studded cast including Academy Award-winner Julia Roberts as the evil Queen, breakout star Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the Prince, and Golden Globe nominee Nathan Lane as the hapless bungling servant to the Queen. The film also stars Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) as the King and Mare Winningham (Brothers) as Baker Margaret and showcases the stunning costumes from Academy Award-winning designer »

Julia Roberts (Eat Pray Love) shows her evil side in Mirror Mirror, the hit movie based on the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fairy tale.

Nathan Lane (The Lion King), Sean Bean (TV’s Game of Thrones) and Mare Winningham (TV’s Hatfields & McCoys) also are in the film’s cast.

Run-d.M.C. Member's Awesome McA Memory
9 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At last night's gala benefit for The Moth, a non-profit dedicated to the art of storytelling, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels shared a few memories of Adam "McA" Yauch with The Huffington Post.
In the early 80s, McDaniels' group, Run-d.M.C., and Yauch's group, the Beastie Boys, were label-mates on Def Jam Records -- and tag-team partners locked in combat with music's status quo. Today, both groups are safely ensconced in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but it wasn't always obvious that they were destined for immortality.
"You know, it was early, so people thought Run Dmc's a fad, Beasties is a fad, you know, all of this is a fad," McDaniels said. "Run-d.M.C., we crossed over with the rock -- but then it was Run-d.M.C. and the Beastie Boys that took it to venues. We started playing Madison Square Garden, L.A. »

Thn’s Top 10 Disney Movies: Part 2
5 May 2012 3:07 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To celebrate the release of the legendary Beauty And The Beast in 3D, Thn is taking a look back at the very best Disney films of all time. To appease the purists, we have omitted any joint productions with Pixar (we need to give the others a fighting chance, after all). There is a multitude of cinematic greats in The House of Mouse, and we have found the diamonds in the rough. Numbers 10 – 6 can be found here, below you will find the top five.
So why don’t you just ruminate, whilst we illuminate the possibilities.
5. Beauty And The Beast (1991)
Here it is. The movie whose return to the cinema we are celebrating at Thn. It will no doubt dazzle in 3D but even with a mere two dimensions, it is a magically romantic spectacle. We all know the story, let’s get down to what makes it so glorious. »

Robert Falls and Brian Dennehy Team Up Again With 'The Iceman Cometh'
3 May 2012 9:31 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
The first time Robert Falls and Brian Dennehy collaborated on a Eugene O'Neill play was in 1990, on "The Iceman Cometh" at Chicago's Goodman Theatre, where Dennehy played salesman Theodore "Hickey" Hickman -- a character he calls the "Mount Everest of American roles."Twenty-two years later, the dynamic duo's sixth O'Neill collaboration is a return to their first, but they're not doing it for each other. They're doing it for Nathan Lane."If you read the description of Hickey, it actually fits Nathan Lane to a tee," says Falls, who received a call from Lane saying he was obsessed with O'Neill's plays and wanted to do the role. "If you only know Nathan from his work in comedies and particularly musicals, you wouldn't realize what a great dramatic actor he is. I knew that it would be perceived as unconventional, compared to the other actors who played it, who've been principally tragic. »

Nice Work If You Can Get It: Theater Review
24 April 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
New York – The last time Matthew Broderick headlined a major musical was opposite Nathan Lane in the instant blockbuster The Producers, the 2001 show that ushered in a new age of irreverence on Broadway and scooped up a record 12 Tony Awards. Mel Brooks’ runaway hit was sublime silliness, a giddy valentine to old-time musical theater with nothing on its mind but delirious entertainment. The same could be said of Nice Work If You Can Get It, which brings Broderick back in a disarming ball of fluff that seems tailor-made to fit his droll brand of comedy.

Fifth Cell Shooter 'Hybrid' to Cost $15
24 April 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
By Jeffrey Matulef
In a lot of ways videogames are as notable for what you can't do in them as what you can. Bionic Commando's Nathan "Rad" Spencer could swing across chasms, but not jump. Resident Evil 4's Leon Kennedy could walk and shoot, provided he only did one at a time. And Red Dead Redemption's John Marston could single handedly take out gangs of outlaws, but not swim. Adding a new twist on this dichotomy of having extraordinary, but not ordinary powers is Hybrid; an upcoming Xbla multiplayer-only shooter that allows you to zip around on a jetpack, but not walk.
I'm not sure what the explanation for this is (maybe the characters are all paraplegics?), but Fifth Cell (Scribblenauts) creative director Jeremiah Slaczka is using this bizarre limitation to add a new wrinkle to the third-person shooter genre. The peculiar controls will allow you to fly between various cover points, »

Julia Roberts, Nathan Lane, Mirror Mirror The Lucky One Movie Box Office: Zac Efron’s Third Best Opening At no. 3 this weekend behind Tim Story / Michael Ealy / Jerry Ferrara’s Think Like a Man and Scott Hicks / Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling’s The Lucky One, Gary Ross‘ The Hunger Games grossed a better-than-expected $14.66 million (-31%) in North America according to box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo.

Jack Nicholson Movies: Rating The Actor's Best And Worst Films
21 April 2012 10:54 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
What's Jack Nicholson's secret? Maybe it's the eyebrows, hovering like ironic quotation marks over every line reading. Maybe it's the hooded eyes, which hold the threat of danger or the promise of joviality -- you're never sure which. Same with that sharklike grin. Or maybe it's the voice, which has evolved over the years from a thin sneer to a deep rumble, but is always precisely calibrated to provoke a reaction. Put them all together, and they say: "I am a man to be reckoned with. Ignore me at your peril." Nicholson, who turns 75 on April 22, is often criticized for relying on his bag of tricks, for just showing up and doing Jack Nicholson (though indeed, he often seems to have been hired precisely for that purpose). But he's also capable of burrowing deep into a character, finding his wounded heart, and revealing the ugly truth without fear or vanity. »

Watch It: 'Cabin In The Woods,' Guy Pearce, 'Titanic'
11 April 2012 8:35 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
"Cabin in the Woods" is out this weekend. That's probably all we're allowed to say about that. Well, one more thing: go see it, it's awesome. Okay, fine, we'll talk a little bit more about the Joss Whedon-produced horror flick in today's edition of Watch It, but that's not the only movie on our minds.
With "Lockout" coming out this week, one member of the MTV Movies team dove back into another Guy Pearce classic as his pick of the week. And somehow, someway, another of our writers never got around to seeing "Titanic" until last weekend's 3-D rerelease. Madness, we say! His take on James Cameron's historical-fiction epic is past the break, along with our other picks.

I saw “Titanic” for the first time ever this weekend. It was good, as I’m sure everyone is well aware of by now. My »

Can Investigative Reporting On TV Evolve Beyond ’60 Minutes’?
10 April 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
In the news game they were called The Wrinklies, the old men who for years dominated TV news at 60 Minutes. Now they’re dying off. Don Hewitt, Ed Bradley, Andy Rooney — and, this past weekend, Mike Wallace. Obituaries rightly celebrate these men’s substantial accomplishments. Wallace and his colleagues adapted the news documentary formula to make it engaging for TV viewers, and kept them coming back week after week. But if newscasters want to celebrate that legacy, then they need to stop emulating the reporting style that the 60 Minutes team developed 44 years ago and find different ways to make investigative reporting relevant and sustainable. Wallace became famous by putting bullies in the hot seat, casting himself as a crusader for common sense and fair play in a world filled with villains and victims. He did this most memorably with ambush interviews, capturing defiant subjects when they had nowhere to hide. »
