Prometheus: Charlize "Vickers" Theron Gets the Spotlight in Latest Featurette
21 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
After witnessing the nefarious lengths that Ash (Ian Holm) and Carter Burke (Paul Reiser) were willing to go to in the service of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation in Alien and Aliens, respectivly, we admit to having pre-judged Meredith Vickers, the Weyland Corporation employee played by Charlize Theron in Prometheus. But, after watching the latest Prometheus featurette dedicated to Vickers, we're starting to think that director Ridley Scott might be throwing us yet another curveball — the whole Alien-universe-movie-with-no-actual-Aliens being the biggest curveball — setting up Vickers to be a heroic figure, if a bit of a control freak, rather than yet another duplicitous corporate stooge. Or, at the very least, Vickers might simply be the one sane person on the entire mission.

Nobody Watched Bent on NBC Last Night
22 March 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
If NBC was hoping nobody would watch the premiere of its long-delayed comedy Bent, well: Mission accomplished! Wednesday's back-to-back episodes at 9 and 9:30 p.m. attracted just 2.8 million and 2.4 million viewers, respectively; among adults under 50, the show bowed to a 1.0 rating, then dropped to a 0.9 for its second episode. Paul Reiser will be either happy or bummed to know that means his ill-fated NBC comedy from last season no longer holds the record for the lowest-rated comedy bow in Peacock history. While there's a case to be made that Bent is predictable rom-com pablum (words heard uttered around Vulture HQ), many of the nation's TV critics disagreed. The show actually scored pretty favorable reviews, earning a 68 percent positive rating over at Metacritic. No matter: By slapping Bent on in the middle of March, airing six episodes over three weeks, and giving it virtually no »

'Diner' 30th Anniversary: 25 Things You Didn't Know About The Guys-and-Fries Classic
5 March 2012 5:27 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Sure, "Diner" is a landmark movie, one that launched numerous careers (including those of Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Ellen Barkin, and director Barry Levinson). But is it really the most influential movie of the last 30 years? Vanity Fair seems to think so. According to an article in the March 2012 issue, "Diner" -- released 30 years ago today, on March 5, 1982 -- is indirectly responsible for "Seinfeld," "The Office," "Pulp Fiction," and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Such writers as Nick Hornby, Stephen Merchant, and Judd Apatow acknowledge its impact on the way they write scenes that others omit, scenes were guys reveal what matters most to them by chatting over coffee about things that don't matter at all. Like its trivia-obsessed characters, "Diner" is full of unspoken tales beneath the surface. Even fans may not know how closely life imitated art in the alliances, rivalries, pranks, and power games that helped make the movie »

What I Watched, What You Watched: Installment #135
4 March 2012 10:03 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I actually have more than just one movie to discuss this week as I was able to watch three films outside my normal screening schedule for the first time in a long time. Well, actually I watched four, but I will be talking about my Blu-ray experience with Battle Royale later this week. For now, here's what I watched... Gambit (1966) At the end of February the contract between Netflix and Starz ended, which resulted in a swath of Netflix Instant titles disappearing from their catalog. As the date neared Drew McWeeny over at HitFix.com was urging people to watch Gambit, a 1966 comedy caper flick starring Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. I already had the film in my queue so I gave it a go and really enjoyed it.
The film centers on Harry (Caine), a cat burglar who offers a dancer (MacLaine) $5000 to help him pull off the perfect heist. »

Special Features - The Greatest Action Movie Douchebags
2 March 2012 6:42 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Tom Jolliffe presents a selection of the action genre's greatest douchebags...
Cinema has created many wonderful characters over the years. We’ve had classic heroes, and the most heinous of villains. Heroes and villains are particularly paramount in the action genre. There’s also another type of character: The Douchebag. These would be the whiny, sniveling, low down, dirty weasels who at some point try to screw over the hero but normally come unstuck. Often they’re not the main villain because they’re too slimy and weasily, without enough determination to get done what a full-on evil-doer will.
Here is a list of classic action movie douchebags, in no particular order...
The Die Hard Douchebags
Die Hard remains one of the best action films ever. It’s a template by which many subsequent films have molded themselves on, but without ever matching the quality of this benchmark. Die Hard »
