'Walking Dead' producer, 'Veronica Mars' creator score pilots at USA
16 May 2013 2:28 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
USA rolled out a pretty hefty list of new dramas in development at its upfront on Thursday (May 16) to go along with the two original comedies it's picked up.
The cable channel says it's ready to start production on "Horizon," a drama from "The Walking Dead" executive producer Gale Anne Hurd that's set in World War II. Written by Bridget Tyler ("Burn Notice"), it centers on a woman working at the FBI who stumbles on a top-secret project, code named "Horizon," that could provide answers about her husband's death. Needless to say, she also invites some trouble for herself with her investigation.
"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas also has a show in the works at USA: "Blanco County," based on a series of books by Ben Rehder. It's about a retired baseball player who runs for sheriff in his small Texas hometown -- one that he's spent most of his »

Upfronts: USA on Laugh Track with Comedy Series Orders
16 May 2013 4:02 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
USA Network has given series orders to original comedies “Sirens” and “Playing House” in a bid to broaden its programming appeal and make the most of its pricey investment in “Modern Family” reruns.
The top-rated cabler also laid out its drama development plans.
“Sirens,” penned by Denis Leary and Bob Fisher, hails from Fox TV Studios. “Playing House,” starring Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, comes from Universal Cable Prods. Both shows are set to premiere in the first quarter of next year. USA execs are hoping that the off-network bow of “Modern Family” starting Sept. 24 will prime USA viewers to sample the new laffers.
USA Network toppers Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel are skidded to unveil the comedy series orders and the greenlight of another comedy pilot, “Love is Dead,” as part of USA’s upfront presentation at Pier 36 in Gotham on Thursday.

From Best To Worst: Elmore Leonard Movie Adaptations
14 May 2013 8:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Today sees the release of a sparkling new Criterion version of "3:10 To Yuma," the perpetually-underrated 1957 Western that's somewhat overshadowed by the more recent 2007 remake. Even those who have seen the earlier version may not be entirely aware that it's based on a short story by a man that we consider not just one of America's finest crime novelists, but one of our finest writers full stop: Elmore Leonard. For over 60 years, the now-87-year-old author has been working at a prodigious rate, cranking out countless short stories and novels, often funny, intricately plotted crime tales, frequently set in his hometown of Detroit, and full of eccentric characters, sparkling dialogue and brutal violence. Stephen King called him "the great American writer," and Martin Amis once told him at a live event "Your prose makes Raymond Chandler look clumsy." It's no surprise, given the nature of his writing, that Leonard has »

Amateur DVD Review
13 May 2013 1:05 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Hal Hartley
Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Martin Donovan, Elina Lowensohn, Damian Young
Running Time: 104 Minutes
Certificate: 18
Amateur is a 1994 crime thriller by writer/director Hal Hartley. The mid-90s were a time when cinema was oozing cool crime flicks thanks to filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino and crime writers such as Elmore Leonard therefore it would be easy for a film to simply fall between the cracks and become just another forgotten genre entry. There’s no such concern for Amateur, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing.
The main thrust of the plot sees a man (Donovan) awaken on a city street with no memory of who he is. He is soon taken in by an ex-nun (Huppert) who now writes erotica for magazines. Right away this story seems to be quirky and familiar enough to take us on an enjoyable and unexpected journey. Unfortunately Hartley has other ideas. »

Justified: Timothy Olyphant on Elmore Leonard and the golden age of TV
26 April 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
As marshal Raylan Givens - self-satisfied, unreliable, and cool in a cowboy hat - he's the undisputed star of Justified. So when will this show get the awards it deserves?
Timothy Olyphant has quite a pair of intimidating eyes on him. Even if the actor's name, or his 18-year body of work, doesn't ring an immediate bell, it's hard not to remember his gimlet-eyed glare. Sharp, penetrating and derisive, that stare is a ticking time-bomb, warning recipients they have mere moments to correct their behaviour before his thin string of patience snaps. Since 2010, Olyphant's unforgiving gaze has bored deep into the souls of the moonshiners, meth dealers and murderers who populate the dirt-poor coal-mining community of Harlan, east Kentucky, the setting of his hit drama series Justified. Marshal Raylan Givens is not Olyphant's first lawman: he was memorably furious as sheriff Seth Bullock in David Milch's prematurely truncated Deadwood. »

‘Pain & Gain’ a first for director Michael Bay: mostly gain, little pain
25 April 2013 9:05 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Pain & Gain
Directed by Michael Bay
Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
USA, 2013
If cinema has anything to say about it, the modern American dream is best typified by a grandiose level of entitlement in those who covet it most of all. Just a month ago, we saw Spring Breakers, a nightmarish, neon piece of grotesquerie, compelling experimental art about nubile young women trying to attain their hedonistic Western utopia by stealing from and killing people who dared get in their way, consequences be damned. And now, we have Michael Bay’s loopy, adrenaline-laced echo of the same concept, Pain & Gain; this time, it’s not a quartet of college students, but a trio of bodybuilders, who use force to achieve their dream and never think beyond themselves.
Based on a true story so jaw-dropping that, as one character tries to remove a person’s fingertips in a charbroiled fashion, »

Is Jennifer Aniston Postponing Her Wedding?
24 April 2013 8:25 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The rumor mill continues to churn out "details" about Jennifer Aniston's upcoming nuptials with Justin Theroux and the latest report claims she is postponing the ceremony.
The Daily Mail reported Aniston will delay her wedding until the summer because she has allegedly not been able to focus on planning while promoting her upcoming Lifetime movie, "Call Me Crazy: A Five Film."
"Jen and Justin have been totally relaxed about the wedding planning," a source reportedly told the Daily Mail. "They're looking forward to the wedding, but they have different ideas about the actual wedding itself. It's not to do with them as a couple, they're madly in love. Every time you see them they've got their arms around each other."
"Jen wants something bigger with all their friends, Justin would just like something a bit more intimate," the source added. "At this point, we're expecting the wedding to be »

18 April 2013 12:17 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Sometimes life doesn't leave you alone. How far would you go to escape your reality? Get away from it all? There's no doubt the prospect of doing so can be riddled with tough choices. Sometimes though... sometimes escaping can be far, far worse.

Jennifer Aniston put her fit frame on display last night when she attended the La premiere of Call Me Crazy: A Five Film in a black Christian Dior ensemble. She was joined by another Jen - Jennifer Hudson - who stars in the film alongside an A-list cast that includes Melissa Leo, Octavia Spencer, Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, and Jennifer Aniston's buddy Chelsea Handler. The film deals with mental illness and Jennifer serves as an executive producer for the movie as well as the Five series, which airs on Lifetime. She opened up about the touchy subject that dominates her new film at the Call Me Crazy opening last night, admitting that she and her producing partners picked the subject because it affects so many people.

Lean, clock-watching western starring Van Heflin as a hard-up rancher hired to get notorious outlaw Glenn Ford on the titular train to jail. While maintaining the wryness and dryness of Elmore Leonard's story, genre specialist Delmer Daves keeps trigger fingers twitching all the way to the seat-edge finale. Remade in 2007 with Christian Bale as the good guy and Russell Crowe filling Ford's villainous boots. »

Justified 4×13 – “Ghosts” Season Finale Review
2 April 2013 9:05 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Timothy Olyphant, Nick Searcy, Joelle Carter, Jacob Pitts, Erica Tazel, Walton Goggins, Patton Oswalt | Created by Elmore Leonard, Graham Yost
Last week’s penultimate episode of Justified seemingly tied everything in a nice little bow, for the most part. Everything was swiftly and cleanly dealt with. Drew Thompson was in police custody and Ellen May was rescued from a death at the hands of Boyd and Ava and the Detroit mob lost out to the wit and brain power of our gunslinger. But, because all of season four has been chess pieces moving up and down the board in the background of the Shelby/Drew mystery, it all had to come to a head. And it blew over big time because ‘Ghosts’ is one of the most intense hours of Justified in a long line of intense hours that the show has logged under it’s belt.

Entertainment Weekly: In last week’s postmortem, you said the threat to pregnant Winona (The Following’s Natalie Zea) would yield one of the best scenes the series has ever done. You did not lie.

Season 4 of Justified wraps up tonight (FX, 10 p.m. Et) with another tense hour. Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) and Boyd (Walton Goggins) make their final plays to keep pregnant Winona (Natalie Zea) safe from Nicky Augustine (Mike O’Malley), and prevent Ava (Joelle Carter) from going to jail for Delroy’s murder. “I think she really feels responsibility for this situation because she’s the one who pulled the trigger and then didn’t potentially get rid of the body in the right way,” Carter says of Ava’s mindset. “She’s had help from other people, and it’s come »

The Tuesday Playlist: Justified, New Normal Finales; Another Look at Phil Spector
2 April 2013 5:59 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Too soon. We always feel that way when a season of FX's marvelously entertaining Justified comes to a close. It can't be easy sustaining that high-wire act of violent tension and wry bourbon-smooth humor, while staying true to the voice and tone of Elmore Leonard's creation of the laconic yet steely U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, but they sure make it go down easy. The fourth-season finale (Tuesday, 10/9c) is titled "Ghosts," and it's a haunted hour, all right — haunted by what-ifs, by dreams deferred and hopes crushed by the weight of bad acts and Harlan County's history of bad people — but it's also a truly badass episode when it needs to be, with fateful confrontations and crazy twists, some satisfying and others troubling.
