Mad Max's Weekend Movie Guide: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' & More
17 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"Spock, I do not know too much about these little Tribbles yet, but there is one thing that I have discovered. I like them … better than I like you." –Dr. McCoy, "Star Trek" (1967)
Greetings from the apocalypse! The trouble with Tribbles is not how cute they are but how much they multiply, or in the case of "Star Trek Into Darkness," the silly plot point for which they cameo. That's the only thing I'll spoil from that movie (besides that it stinks), but luckily there's some sweet alternatives this week that boldly go where no J.J. Abrams movie has gone before … coherence.

Pow! In Theaters
Oh boy. "Star Trek Into Dumbness" finally fulfills J.J. Abrams' five-year mission to run this franchise through a Cuisinart of stupidity. I would need a spoiler avalanche to make a proper case for how this sequel squanders classic characters and scenarios from »

Six of the Best: The Directors – Wes Anderson
15 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Currently filming his latest comedy drama The Grand Budapest Hotel, which is set to star an ensemble cast including Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, and Saoirse Ronan, Wes Anderson has been producing quirky dramas for almost twenty years at this point in time.
Director, screenwriter, actor, and producer of features, short films and commercials, Anderson’s work is mostly known for his family struggles, flawed characters, British rock soundtracks, and colourful cinematography. Not only do his films compare in visual style, though, they also often include regular collaborators Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Owen and Luke Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman.
Here’s some of his best:
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
A personal favourite of mine is Anderson’s adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl book, Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2009. As one of his most recent pieces of work, it was hard to »

Watch: The Funny Story Behind One of the Coolest 'Star Wars' Movie Posters (Exclusive)
14 May 2013 3:06 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, a comedy starring Charlie Sheen, Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray about a graphic artist who goes through a weird breakdown after a breakup with his girlfriend, isn't based on a true story, strictly speaking. Writer and director Roman Coppola, however, was inspired by the real life of a graphic artist by the name of Charles White III. He's not an instantly recognizable name as a poster artist like Drew Struzan, but the two were actually good friends and collaborated together on a special Star Wars poster for the film's rerelease in 1978. The result is one of the coolest Star Wars posters around, and Lionsgate has given us an exclusive clip from the Blu-ray featuring the real Charles White telling the unique story of how it...

What to Rent: New DVDs This Week
14 May 2013 3:05 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Cloud Atlas Tom Tykwer teams with Andy and Lana Wachowski to take on the epic task of adapting David Mitchell's sweeping novel that occurs in different times and places. The filmmakers enlist a crew of A-list actors, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Jim Broadbent, to play several versions (and races) of themselves. Their interweaving stories prove how the present can be affected deeply by the past, and despite its cast and how visually impressive it is, Cloud Atlas is a letdown. The DVD comes with the featurette, "A Film Like No Other." 68% A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwartzman collaborate with writer/director Roman Coppola for this self-absorbed turkey of a film.

The Comedy Review
13 May 2013 3:15 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rick Alverson’s 2012 film The Comedy screened at Sundance last year and was On Demand before it ever reached theaters across the country. This isn’t an uncommon fate for low budget, independent films, and, in fact, this film probably fared better than most of its ilk. That said, its scope was still tiny and its audiences selective. The Comedy, though, is an important film in a certain sense, and its recent release on Netflix will make it more accessible than it has been since its release. I have to qualify its importance because it’s overtly aimed at hipsters (I’ll spare all of us the debate about what actually makes a hipster, the resistance to the label by the people to whom it applies, etc), and while these people only make up a tiny fraction of the population, the appropriation of the hipster image is in full force right now, »

13 May 2013 12:17 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Moviefone's Blu-ray of the Week "Cloud Atlas" What's it about? Cloud Atlas delves into how the consequences of one's actions can travel farther than we know – through time and space, impacting lives even in the distant future. Why we're In: Aside from its its all-star cast and dynamic action, Cloud Atlas has a plot that will put your brain through the wringer. Moviefone's New Release of the Week "Back to 1942" What's it about? Starring Adrian Brody, this film portrays the Henan Province famine of 1942 against the backdrop of a war-torn China at a time when the country was partially occupied by Japan.

TV Review: Parks & Recreation 5.22, “Are You Better Off?”
3 May 2013 6:03 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
The fifth season finale of Parks & Recreation was better than I expected. Despite having supported the Pawnee players throughout this debatably lackluster season, the lack of genuine stakes and satisfying resolutions began to wear on me these last few episodes; however, “Are You Better Off?” ultimately performed admirably not only in terms of any given Parks episode, but specifically as a season finale, which has certain functions.
One of the most prominent reasons Parks & Rec is a great series is because it fulfills sitcom conventions without being too obvious or cloying. A staple of season finales is to provide a look back at the growth the season saw while setting things up for a potential future; “Are You Better Off?” accomplished both these feats while allowing many of the series’ peripheral characters to make worthwhile contributions such as Jerry’s, “I miss you guys!” or Jean »

'Parks and Recreation' season finale: 11 hints from exec producer Michael Schur
2 May 2013 1:01 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
It’s time to wrap up another season of Parks and Recreation, one in which new City Councilwoman Leslie Knope found herself in soda wars (of the 512-ounce variety) and jams (of the Councilman Jamm variety). Tonight’s episode, which airs on NBC at 9:30 p.m., will boast a different feel than last year’s celebratory send-off. “Last year’s finale was very much about ending something,” says series co-creator/exec producer Michael Schur. “It was the end of her campaign and it was her victory speech, and it put this great punctuation mark on the entire season.

Michael Fassbender in 'Macbeth': Actor to Take On Shakespeare
29 April 2013 9:07 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
After tackling Magneto, a killer robot, and a sex-addicted New Yorker, Michael Fassbender has set his sights on his next challenge: "Macbeth." Fassbender will play the scheming nobleman for "Snowtown" director Justin Kurzel. The screenplay, by Todd Louiso and Jacob Koskoff, while supposedly a "visceral" new adaptation, will retain the original Shakespearean setting and dialogue. Louiso and Koskoff collaborated on the Paramount Vantage comedy "The Marc Pease Experience," which, despite starring Ben Stiller and Jason Schwartzman, was unceremoniously dumped into a handful of theaters while Vantage was being erased from the Paramount landscape. "Macbeth" will reunite "Shame" producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman (who also produced Fassbender's upcoming comedic drama "Frank"). It's unclear when the adaptation will film, however, since Kurzel was recently attached to an adaptation of the John le Carre thriller "Our Kind of Traitor," which was supposed to go later this year. If you've never read "Macbeth, »

Tribeca: Jason Schwartzman, Matt Wolf and Jon Savage Discuss Their Epic 'Teenage' Undertaking
26 April 2013 12:42 PM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Based on British author Jon Savage's punk history novel, Matt Wolf's "living collage" of a documentary, "Teenage," aims to tell the story of the formulative of years of youth culture. The doc, which premiered at Tribeca last Saturday, presents a bounty of rare archival footage and beautifully shot reconstructions that delve into the lasting effect that flappers, swing kids, Nazi Youth and Boy Scouts had in the period between the enacting of child labor laws in the beginning of the twentieth century to the dropping of the atom bomb. It's a stylish, freewheeling and fun ride, buoyed by an astounding score from Deerhunter front-man Bradford Cox, but it also opens up the thought-provoking subject of the evolution of youth culture and where it's headed in contemporary times. We sat down with Wolf, Savage and executive producer Jason Schwartzman to talk about the arduous research process, how the film »
