Do The Wacky: Five Great TV Crushes
26 May 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The ‘will they won’t they?’ story is one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep audiences glued to the screen. From Sam and Diane to Ross and Rachel, an effective TV relationship can go on and off again until long after the viewers are sick of it. The TV crush covers a wide spectrum of events: tantrums, fireworks lingering looks, and pent up secrets to name a few.
Indeed, the addition of at least one love story is now almost mandatory in a long-running TV show, and while it can be clumsily handled and completely unbelievable, it can also add a solid emotional core and another layer to the characters in question
Here’s five of television’s greatest ever crushes…
Helga & Arnold
Hey Arnold! (1996 – 2004)
It’s not the most mature crush, nor the most stable, but few (if any) unrequited love stories make such great use »

Linda Cardellini Shines as a War Vet in "Return"
16 May 2012 6:22 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The lasting mental and emotional effects of war on soldiers as they return home has long been a major field of psychological study, and it’s received quite a bit of coverage in film over the last decade in the form of features like Stop-Loss and Brothers. Those films took the side effects of post-traumatic stress disorder to their more harrowing extremes, whereas Liza Johnson’s Return, with Linda Cardellini as a mother-turned-veteran returning home after a tour of duty, takes aim at the psychological toll from more of an emotional point of view.
Kelli (Cardellini) returns home from service in the Middle East to find the world has kept on spinning in her absence. While she was experiencing the atrocities of war, her two daughters grew older and lost their emotional connection to the woman who birthed them.

DVD Playhouse – May 2012
By Allen Gardner
Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Being John Malkovich (Criterion) Spike Jonze’s madcap film of Charlie Kaufman’s script, regarding a socially-disenfranchised puppeteer (John Cusack) who finds a portal into the mind of actor »

DVD Review: ‘Return’ Features Oscar-Caliber Work From Linda Cardellini
2 May 2012 7:12 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It’s an evening typical of so many American homes. Tom Bergeron’s smarmy voice fills the air as televised pratfalls are accompanied by the mechanical laughter of a studio audience. A father chuckles and winces at the mindless spectacle while relaxing on the couch with his children. His wife, on the other hand, remains restless. She fails to find any sense of comfort in the nightly routine.
This scene takes place early on in Liza Johnson’s “Return,” which is one of the most refreshingly unconventional wartime dramas in recent memory. It observes a female soldier, Kelli (Linda Cardellini), in the days following her return home after a tour of duty. A formulaic script would’ve culminated in expository revelations about Kelli’s traumatic experiences overseas, but Johnson uses behavioral nuances rather than pat dialogue to illuminate her heroine’s inner turmoil. It’s a character vignette that »

5 Things We Learned About 'Freaks & Geeks' From The Av Club's Epic Walkthrough With Paul Feig
13 April 2012 7:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the show only lasted a season (although ratings were enough that, were it on today, it would be a big hit), so much of what's proved successful in the comedy world in the last decade can be traced back to " Freaks & Geeks." Executive produced by Judd Apatow, who's been behind many of the most successful comedies in recent years, from "Anchorman" to the upcoming "The Five-Year Engagement," and created by Paul Feig, who reunited with Apatow for last year's smash hit "Bridesmaids," it followed a group of nerds and burnouts in a Michigan high school.
And looking back, the cast is a who's who of the people that have made you laugh in recent years: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Samm Levine and Busy Phillips were all in the original cast, along with Linda Cardellini, while her screen brother John Francis Daley wrote the screenplay for »

Return – review
7 April 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In one of his greatest short stories, Soldier's Home, Ernest Hemingway writes of Corporal Krebs, a Us marine returning from France to Kansas in 1919 unable to communicate his experiences of the war: "Krebs found that to be listened to at all he had to lie, and after he had done this twice, he had a reaction against the war and against talking about it." Returning to her own midwestern town after a year in Afghanistan, Kelli (Linda Cardellini) also has little to say to her blue-collar plumber husband Mike (Michael Shannon) and their children, but we never really discover her problem. She refers to "deployment" and "the war" in an abstract way, and can't bring herself to have sex with the troubled Mike, who has drifted into an affair. By the time she quits her stultifying job assembling parts for ventilator units in this rust-belt Ohio township, she's started to drink. »

Headhunters (15)
(Morten Tyldum, 2011, Nor/Ger) Aksel Hennie, Synnøve Macody Lund, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Eivind Sander. 100 mins
It's a Scandinavian crime thriller, but for once, this isn't like The Killing or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It's closer to the Coen brothers, with enough unpredictable plot turns, eccentric touches and morbid laughs to banish the Nordic darkness. There's something of Steve Buscemi about its hero, too: Hennie plays a slimy corporate headhunter/secret art thief who meets his match, loses his grip and literally ends up in the toilet as a result.
Le Havre (PG)
(Aki Kaurismäki, 2011, Fin/Fra/Ger) André Wilms, Kati Outinen, Jean-Pierre Darroussin. 93 mins
Applying his gentle, silent-comical approach to the tale of an illegal immigrant and his French protectors reaps rewards for Kaurismäki in a movie that's whimsical on the surface but built on firm foundations.
(Paolo Sorrentino, 2011, Us) Sean Penn, Frances McDormand, »

HeyUGuys Reaction Shot – Small Screen Adventures Fit for the Big Screen
29 March 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Welcome to another instalment of our regular section in which members of the HeyUGuys family discuss a variety of topics concerning all things cinema.
We’ll pick a topic inspired by what’s happening in the world of film and invite our writers to voice their opinions, an invitation we extend to you. If you want to submit your own answer, or respond to an answer from one of our writers, then please do so.
With 21 Jump St proving to be a resounding critical and commercial success both here and over the Atlantic, it’s clear that there is still an audience for big-screen remakes of old TV shows.
We asked our team if there were any other cult TV offerings which could benefit from a cinematic makeover.
Kenji Lloyd
Despite being cancelled after only 18 episodes, Paul Feig and Judd Apatow’s Freaks and Geeks is one of my all-time favourites; a true instant classic. »

Return Movie Review
23 March 2012 7:09 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Return Director: Liza Johnson Starring: Linda Cardellini, Michael Shannon, John Slattery, Talia Balsam The United States’ military forays into the Middle East over the past decade-plus have resulted in a fair number of big screen dramas of domestic re-entry, but few have the thoughtful delicacy of the quiet, lived-in “Return,” whose very title has a relaxed connotation that the movie robustly embodies. Spurning crazy outburst or demonstrative dramatic flair for something more measured, fragile and almost ineffable, writer-director Liza Johnson’s narrative feature film debut is built around a standout performance from ex-”Freaks and Geeks” star Linda Cardellini. “Return” unfolds in the rural Midwest, where supply line soldier Kelli (Cardellini) feels a free-floating sense [ Read More ] »

Ask Stacy: How Much Does Jennifer Lopez Make Per Year from American Idol, Endorsements?
22 March 2012 10:26 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Dear Stacy: Every time I sit down to watch TV, there is Jennifer Lopez in yet another commercial. Any idea how much she's making from all that? -- Kevin A., Chattanooga, Tenn. Dear Kevin: Lopez reportedly makes $25 million a year, $20 million of which comes from "American Idol." You have to know a large chunk of the remaining $5 million is coming from advertising and endorsements. But companies feel she's worth seven-figure deals. When Lopez and ex-husband Marc Anthony contracted with Kohl's for their lifestyle collection, the store expected them to drive sales of an astounding $3 billion. See more photos of J Lo below in the gallery. Dear Stacy: I'm an admirer of Linda Cardellini of "Freaks and Geeks" and "ER" fame. Can you tell me what she's been up to lately? -- Russ S., Warren, Ohio Dear Russ: Cardellini is busy with motherhood these days. She gave birth to daughter Lilah-Rose on Feb. »
All Aboard the Bloodied Lollipop Chainsaw Bus Heading to Bostons Pax East
22 March 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Juliet Starling may sound like the lead female character in a gritty new cop drama show where a bitter old middle-aged woman juggles both her career as a hard-hitting detective and her life as a single parent to her wayward adolescent son but instead is the key character in upcoming zombie game release 'Lollipop Chainsaw'. Juliet (below) is the sexy chainsaw wielding cheerleader that will manage to neatly balance her gynastical styled killings of the undead with gratuitous upskirt glimpses. A new special school bus has been created to help promote the upcoming release and the bus itself, which features on board gaming kiosks, has to date been spotted at this month's Game Developers Conference and at Austin's SXSW 2012. It's expected to arrive next at the Pax East event in Boston which kicks of on 6 April. A video of the transformation can be viewed below courtesy of Shock Till You Drop. »

Cat Fyson presents her Desert Island Collection...
Movies
1. Bronson - An incredible movie, Tom Hardy at his best (so far, who knows how well Bane will go down...)
2. Fight Club - A typical choice, but a great movie that I still adore. Great performances all round.
3. Back to the Future - I was fortunate enough to see this for the first time on the big screen (albeit for its 25th anniversary) in 2010. An absolute classic!
4. Rec - Just in case I need a good scare on my desert island, Rec is pretty much guaranteed to freak me out.
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - For those geeky moods, my favourite Potter film. Far superior to Part 2!
6. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - I'm a huge Depp fan, because I'm a straight woman. This movie is a cult classic, and highly entertaining and bizarre.
7. Clerks - I »
