Harry Lennix to play Henry IV
5 May 2012 9:28 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In a recent interview, actor Harry Lennix revealed that:
“Right now I’m doing what I think is the first black Shakespeare film ever done, which is called “H4”. It’s a reconfiguration using Shakespeare’s language of “Henry IV Part I and Part II”. I play Henry IV in it along with an estimable cast including Keith David, Angus Macfadyen from “Braveheart”, we have a number of young and talented actors.”
Harry Lennix also said that he's producing the film.
On IMDb, Michael Dorn is listed as playing the part of Henry IV, but Shakespeare fansite Bardfilm clarifies:
“Michael Dorn will not be playing Henry IV in the finished version of the film. Scheduling conflicts prevent him from being available for the reshoots. But Harry Lennix, who played Aaron (and played him brilliantly) in Julie Taymor’s Titus, will take over the role.”

Blu-ray Review: Huge Collection of Special Features For Sweet ‘We Bought a Zoo’
13 April 2012 2:43 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Cameron Crowe’s “We Bought a Zoo” should have made more money. Sure, it’s a cheesy slice of family entertainment but when the cheese is this well-crafted, performed, and delivered, one can’t complain too much about it. “We Bought a Zoo” is too long, not subtle enough, and pretty manipulative, but it the manipulation works. Matt Damon is stellar (as he always seems to be lately) and Crowe tells this old-fashioned tale with enough skill to make it entertaining. “We Bought a Zoo” is one of those rare cross-demographic films — from children to grandparents — that doesn’t insult the intelligence of any of them.
Blu-ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
Those who did see and love “We Bought a Zoo” will be happy to learn that the Blu-ray release is as packed with special features as nearly any 2011 film. Cameron Crowe is a documentarian at heart, so it’s not surprising »

We Bought A Zoo Blu-Ray Review
11 April 2012 8:11 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
2011 was a year that saw Matt Damon in a surprising number of releases, and it may be remembered as the year he (and his films) didn’t manage nearly the level of credit they deserve. Though The Adjustment Bureau was received positively, by the end of the year it seemed that most had forgotten about it. The same is true of Contagion, although you’ll find that one on some lists of the best of the year. Margaret, in the category of “finally released films” was a hit with many critics, but most among the general public never even heard of it.
And then there’s We Bought a Zoo. Even with Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson starring, and Cameron Crowe directing, the film’s theatrical run, despite making a solid showing in ticket sales, seemed to fizzle out, and certainly didn’t have people talking nearly as much as I expected. »

Review: We Bought a Zoo
10 April 2012 10:19 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
I’ll tell you right up front that I had a stronger emotional reaction to the film than most audience members, largely because of the theme of loss that permeates most of the story. As a result, I found myself loving the We Bought a Zoo and have been recommending it to families ever since. Now that it is out on DVD from 20th Century Home Entertainment, I’m here to recommend it as a purchase as well.
Since we’re all about to fall in love with Scarlet Johansson all over again when she kicks ass in The Avengers, it’s good to see her actually acting here, paired nicely with Matt Damon, the grieving patriarch who needs to change his life in some way and chooses to do so in a rather radical fashion.

Exclusive: Benjamin Mee Talks We Bought a Zoo Blu-ray
2 April 2012 10:36 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Author Benjamin Mee discusses the adaptation of his book We Bought a Zoo, available on Blu-ray and DVD April 3
In 2006, journalist Benjamin Mee, who was best known for his do-it-yourself columns in U.K.'s The Guardian, purchased the Dartmoor Zoological Park in Dartmoor, England. He eventually turned his tale into the non-fiction book We Bought a Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and the 200 Wild Animals That Change Their Lives, adapted for the silver screen as We Bought a Zoo. This enthralling drama arrives on Blu-ray and DVD April 3.
I recently had the chance to speak with author Benjamin Mee over the phone about turning his true tale into a Hollywood movie. Here's what he had to say below.
I read that your actual purchase of the Dartmoor park took a lot longer to complete than in the movie. Can you »

We Bought A Zoo review
15 March 2012 3:02 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Don't overlook Cameron Crowe's film of We Bought A Zoo. It's surprisingly charming, and human, cinema, even if it does go on a bit...
Sometimes, the world forgets just how good a filmmaker Cameron Crowe is. Appreciating that his output has been bumpy since the release of Almost Famous, there are moments in We Bought A Zoo where you appreciate what he can do, that others struggle with. For instance, he can coax excellent performances out of younger actors. He’s able to put across characters that you actually care about. And he’s capable of springing a bit of a surprise.
I can’t be the only person who got the impression from the promotional material that We Bought A Zoo was mawkish, overly sentimental piece of Hollywood nonsense. Granted, it’s based on a true story, but that’s hardly a factor that encourages film makers to put the sugar bowl away. »

Movies).
Benjamin Mee (Damon) is a Los Angeles newspaper columnist and adventure writer who, as a single father, faces the challenges of raising his two young children. Hoping that a fresh start and a new life will restore their family spirit, Mee quits his job and buys an old rural house outside the city with a unique bonus feature: a zoo named the Rosemoor Animal Park, where dozens of animals reside under the care of head zookeeper Kelly Foster (Johansson) and her dedicated team. With no experience, limited time and a shoestring budget, Mee sets out with the support »

Chuck 5.13 "Chuck Vs. The Goodbye" Series Finale Review
Chuck season 5 and the series itself comes to a close with its ultimate thirteenth entry in tonight’s "Chuck Vs. The Goodbye," as Team Bartowski races to retrieve the final Intersect from Nicholas Quinn (Angus Macfadyen), and restore Sarah's lost memories of the last five years. "Chuck Vs. The Goodbye" closes the series on a high note, balancing both the sweet with the bittersweet in the manner the show has come to employ so very well over the last few years.
Wow. Thus endeth Chuck. I don’t often have a lot to say when it comes to TV finales, and it’s been a good long while since a series I actually cared about managed to wrap things up on its own terms, but this one got to me. I actually saw both "Chuck Vs. Sarah" and "Chuck Vs. The Goodbye »

Chuck 5.12 "Chuck Vs. Sarah" Review

Chuck 5.12 "Chuck Vs. Sarah" Review
Chuck season 5 intersects its ultimate end with its penultimate twelfth entry in this week’s "Chuck Vs. Sarah," as Sarah returns harboring a dark secret from Nicholas Quinn (Angus Mcfadyen) while Team Bartowski searches for the final Intersect. "Chuck Vs. Sarah" has a mostly thankless role to play in the Friday night two-part finale, but still serves up one of the darkest, most memorable hours yet.
Obviously “Chuck Vs. Sarah” isn’t the highlight of our Friday night, given that NBC decided to air both “Sarah” and “Chuck Vs. The Goodbye” back to back as one two hour-long series finale, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t treate the two separately and offer up a few quick thoughts on the penultimate Chuck episode.
After all, Chuck has been a joy to watch, discuss and write about for five years now, and I just »

Tonight on Chuck: Series Finale Sneak Peeks
As all Chuck fans I'm sure are aware tonight is the 2-hour series finale of the spy caper and last week's episode left Team Bartowski in a major predicament. New villain Quinn (Angus Macfadyen) separated Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) in spectacular fashion; by erasing Chuck from Sarah's memory. He followed this up by pretending that he is Sarah's handler and gave her orders to kill Chuck (for our review head here). Warning spoilers ahead.
The first episode tonight is called "Chuck vs. Sarah" and sees Sarah returning home to Chuck but acting strange. This is thanks to Quinn 'Eternal Sunshining' her and giving her this new mission, though the first sneak peek below would suggest that Sarah does not respond well to Quinn's orders and is deeply suspicious of him. Will Chuck be able to remind his wife of their life together? »

If Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah’s (Yvonne Strahovski) goal is to cut out the dangerous spying as NBC’s Chuck heads into Friday’s series finale, then the couple is failing miserably. Video: 'Chuck' Guest Star Bo Derek on What Really Makes Josh Gomez Sexy Chuck has no idea what transpired while the villainous Quinn (guest star Angus Macfadyen) held Sarah captive.

‘Chuck’ Season 5 Episode 11 Review: Chuck vs. the Bullet Train
21 January 2012 1:14 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Chuck began with a very special opening title, one fans will definitely appreciate especially since this was not the series finale and fans would love nothing more for familiarity come then. Perhaps the original opening awaits us in the finale episode? No matter, this week was the calm before the storm and an almost movie like opening set the tone perfectly for this week and the final episode. Embrace the movie like opening, people because this is it.
In “Chuck vs. the Bullet Train,” Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and John Casey (Adam Baldwin) are on a mission to rescue Chuck (Zachary Levi), to Chuck’s surprise, with the intersect in Sarah’s head. Chuck was understandably worried about this result but watching the two later bond over how awesome the intersect benefits are was quite a moment. There are not many people on the earth who have had the intersect in their head, »

Chuck 5.11 "Chuck Vs. The Bullet Train" Review
Chuck season 5 speeds along toward the end with its ante penultimate eleventh entry in this week’s "Chuck Vs. The Bullet Train," as a newly Intersect-ed Sarah and Casey look to rescue Chuck from Nicholas Quinn (Angus Macfadyen) aboard a Japanese bullet train. "Chuck Vs.The Bullet Train" marks the beginning of the end for Chuck, and proves a strong start before next week's two-hour series finale.
Well, that was certainly something, wasn’t it?
As the ante penultimate episode of Chuck, “Chuck Vs. The Bullet Train” had a lot of ground to cover in setting the stage for next week’s two-part finale, something the hour absolutely delivered in terms of scale. Not only did “Bullet Train” do an excellent job of creating an altogether exciting story for Team Bartowski, but managed to raise stakes in a palpable way. From the moment »
