Darling Companion – The Review
17 May 2012 9:59 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
In all the discussion last week about Johnny Depp’s eighth film collaboration with Tim Burton on Dark Shadows another actor/director team has a work that’s about to reach theatres, Darling Companion is the sixth film that actor Kevin Kline has made with screenwriter/ director Lawrence Kasdan. It’s hard to believe, but their first together, The Big Chill was released thirty years ago. The new film harkens back to their earlier efforts like Chill and Grand Canyon since it addresses family issues and surrounds Kline with a great cast of seasoned screen vets. Amidst the high decibel destruction of this Summer’s blockbusters a small story about a long married husband and wife ( and their pet ) may be a relaxing change-of-pace.
The film begins as Beth ( Diane Keaton ) is cooing to her new grandchild at the Denver airport. After she says goodbye to her youngest daughter’s family, »

Top 5 Vibrator Scenes in Movies
17 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
In the historical rom-com "Hysteria," a progressive new doctor (Hugh Dancy) joins a respected women's physician (Jonathan Pryce) who specializes in curing the female condition of hysteria through manual stimulation. Naturally, the revolutionary treatment is so popular with upper-crust Victorian ladies that the poor young doc develops repetitive stress, leaving him unable to perform his professional duties until his inventor pal (Rupert Everett) develops an electric stimulator that does the job much more efficiently.
But "Hysteria" is far from the first film to highlight a lady's electric best friend. While the topic isn't exactly common, there are plenty of mainstream comedies that include some memorably good vibrations. Sorry, fellas, but we kept the users strictly female.

Olive (Emma Stone) doesn't actually use her vibrator, but it's still a hilarious plot point in the adorably clever teen movie. As a gift for pretending to have sex with him, »

Their Best "Edward" Shots

"Post Me."
"I Can't."
Real life has this horrible way of intruding on fantasy. Though I'd much rather be spending exorbitant amounts of time with Avon lady Dianne, Gepetto-esque Vincent, dancing Winona, and Johnny's first truly brilliant performance in my favorite Tim film (I feel so close to this movie I'm totally on a first name basis with it) I couldn't work it out tonight. My post will be up on... Friday evening. Yes, let's go with that. But until then there's plenty of Edward Scissorhands love from these fine blogs joining in the Hit Me With Your Best Shot spirit. Go and read them!
I really suggest you do. My favorite thing about this series is reading the other pieces and learning from them. Films are communal but we all see them through different eyes.
Sometimes you can still catch them dancing in it...

Second The Odd Life of Timothy Green Trailer
10 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Walt Disney Pictures has taken the very disturbing 2001 dark comedy Little Otik and Disney-fied it into The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The story is the same; a young infertile couple discover a child has grown from a patch of grass in their backyard. From there, complications ensue. Only, I'm guessing, Timothy will take a different path than poor stump Otik. I don't envision this family film ending with a munch down on Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton's neighbors. After watching this second trailer, a third act blood bath seems quite unlikely. Check it out, then go rent Little Otik. (Trust me, you'll love it!)
The Odd Life Of Timothy Green - Trailer 2
The Odd Life of Timothy Green comes to theaters August 15th, 2012 and stars Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Ron Livingston, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dianne Wiest, Cameron Adams, Common, Michael Arden. The film is directed by Peter Hedges. »

Watch: Jennifer Garner & Joel Edgerton Grow A Magic Child In The Trailer For 'The Odd Life Of Timothy Green'
10 May 2012 7:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Ok seriously, just look at that image above. Does "The Odd Life Of Timothy Green" not seem like the most punchable movie of 2012? Well, if you need more convincing here's the brand new trailer for the movie, and warning: if you're a diabetic, this may send your blood/sugar levels through the roof.
Starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton (dude, you can do so much better than this) the Disney movie follows a couple, who after being unable to conceive a child, bury their wishes in the backyard only for some kid to grow out of the ground, come into their lives, and change them forever. You know, this is one of those movies where a kid manages to make dying people laugh, endear himself to adults and bring a little magic into the world, and we just threw up in our mouth a little bit.

HBO Passes on Jonathan Franzen and Noah Baumbach’s The Corrections
3 May 2012 2:15 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Noah Baumbach’s adaptation of Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections for television, with the pilot script co-written by Baumbach and Franzen himself, sounded like a dream come true.
Franzen’s 2001 novel, often described as a masterpiece, was to be turned into a forty-episode adaptation, spanning four series, depending on HBO’s reception of the pilot, filmed earlier this year in Jauary.
Sadly, Variety are now reporting that HBO have decided not to pick it up, which of course puts a big question mark over the future of the project.
Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin (The Social Network, No Country for Old Men) has been working on the project for some time now, so I’m really hoping that all is not lost, and that it will be shopped to another network (and soon), because the line-up is fantastic.
In the pilot, Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest play the parents of Ewan McGregor, »

The Corrections and Other Big Shows That HBO Never Aired
2 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
HBO decided yesterday not to move forward with its planned adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, which at first glance seemed strange: It was a high-profile, high-prestige project with a lot of big-name talent attached, including Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Noah Baumbach adapted and directed the pilot. But in recent years, HBO has passed on a lot of shows in the same mold — shows that sound fancy or terrific or have star power or intrigue.This year already, HBO has declined to pick up 40 and Da Brick, both from Entourage producer Doug Ellin. 40, sort of like Entourage: The Middle Aged Years, would have starred Ed Burns, Michael Imperioli, Michael Rapaport, and Adrian Pasdar. Da Brick, which Spike Lee was producing and would have directed, was about an up-and-coming boxer. Going back just a little bit further to the 2011–2012 development season, there was »

Don't Make A Sad Face, Ewan

Ja from Mnpp here. Have y'all heard the lousy news that HBO has passed on The Corrections? An adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's well-loved 2001 bestseller, the HBO series was going to be produced by the terrifically talented Noah Baumbach and had lined up a truly amazing cast with Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest as the parents and Ewan McGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal and Greta Gerwig as their adult children. Ahh! That cast leaves me a little breathless.
They filmed a pilot, which all of us should immediately call our state representatives about enacting legislation which would force the immediate dissemination thereof. There's like a Freedom of Information Act or something right? Bring that up. We can do it!
Anyway HBO passed on it. The plan had been fairly massive - they wanted to make four ten-episode long seasons - so it always seemed a little too good to be true. »

'The Corrections' The TV Series is a No-Go
2 May 2012 6:57 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Sorry, Franzenites. According to Deadline, HBO has scrapped its plans to make a series based on Jonathan Franzen's acclaimed 2001 novel about a Midwestern couple and their three grown children after considering its pilot. "The Corrections" was shaping up to be high-end TV indeed, with Noah Baumbach handling the adaptation with Franzen and Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Dianne Wiest, Rhys Ifans and Greta Gerwig in the cast. Deadline reports that "Word is HBO brass liked the performances but the decision came down to adapting the book’s challenging narrative, which moves through time and cuts forwards and back. While that works in the novel, it proved difficult to sustain in a series and challenging for viewers to follow, hampering the potential show’s accessibility." "The Corrections" has been kicking around the studios for years now -- producer Scott Rudin holds the rights, »

HBO Passes on The Corrections Adaptation Starring Ewan McGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal
1 May 2012 7:50 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I have a tendency to write a little too breathlessly about projects in development at HBO. So it is important for me to learn that like every other network, HBO passes on some series, no matter how great the talent attached. Variety reports the network passed on The Corrections, the adaptation of the bestselling Jonathan Franzen book about "the troubles of a Midwestern couple and their three adult children as they trace their lives from the mid-20th century to 'one last Christmas' together near the turn of the millennium." Writer/director Noah Baumbach (Greenberg) had assembled a stellar cast in Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rhys Ifans, Dianne Wiest, Chris Cooper, and Greta Gerwig. McGregor, a man of taste and distinction, praised the scripts by Baumbach and Franzen, saying the "lovely writing" convinced him to spend four months of each of the next four years exploring this character. They shot the pilot in February, »

Despite an all-star cast (Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Maggie Gyllnehaal, among others) and a script co-written by Jonathan Franzen, HBO will not be moving forward with the Noah Baumbach–Scott Rudin adaptation of The Corrections. This is more than a little surprising! And a shame for anyone who was looking forward to Ewan McGregor's midwestern accent. »
