Natural Selection Movie Review

18 May 2012 5:57 PM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »

Title: Natural Selection Director: Robbie Pickering Starring: Rachael Harris, Matt O’Leary, John Diehl, Jon Gries, Gayland Williams The darling of last year’s South By Southwest Film Festival, where it picked up seven awards, “Natural Selection” has an interesting central idea and a pair of fairly arresting lead turns, but it doesn’t convincingly dig down into its characters, and is further bogged down and hamstrung by its technical limitations. A cracked road trip in which a devoted Christian housewife jointly rescues and falls for a hedonistic, previously unknown family member, writer-director Robbie Pickering’s feature debut is an indie effort shot through with good intention, but lacking in either deft enough execution  [ Read More ] »

In Theaters: 'The Dictator' Overruns The 'Polisse,' So That 'Battleship' And 'What To Expect' May Cause Angry 'Hysteria' Among 'The Samaritan's

18 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Dictators, hitmen, and navy officers – oh my! It’s a big weekend for the dudes, the professional advantages mentioned above notwithstanding, and we can expect screens clogged with manly men doing male things. Even the invention of a sex toy (by a man, duh) and male grooming get sweet turns in the theaters. If only the powerful sight of pregnant women was enough to combat the male-dominated market. Ah well, perhaps another weekend. Let’s jump into the testosterone-fueled fray, shall we?

Political satire, social comedy, and gross-out humor each take their turn in the Larry Charles-directed “The Dictator,” which opened Wednesday. Sacha Baron Cohen is Admiral General Aladeen, the universal and undisputed leader of the fictional North African nation of Wadiya. Running (or perhaps “scaring” is a better word choice here) a nation with a sexist, racist, iron fist, threatening nuclear warfare while hoarding oil reserves, Aladeen is »

Review: 'Natural Selection' Surprises and Charms in More Ways Than One On Its Odd Couple Road Trip Journey

18 May 2012 10:15 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

"Natural Selection" swept the jury awards at SXSW 2011, and has been generally hailed especially for Rachael Harris' performance, a dramatic turn from a well-established comedienne. The feature debut from writer/director Robbie Pickering, the film stars Harris as mousey Texas housewife Lindy who has been denied sex by her husband Abe (John Diehl) for 25 years because their religion forbids copulation without the express purpose of procreation, and wouldn't you know it, Lindy can't have any "special babies." Abe fulfills his needs secretly, at the local sperm bank, which Lindy doesn't discover until he keels over from a stroke, mid-jerk. With her entire world hanging in the balance, Lindy sets off on a road trip to find one of Abe's offspring to bring him back at the behest of her husband's dying wish (or so she thinks... or imagines), armed with only a name (Raymond), city and her trusty hatchback. »

As we were psyching ourselves up for our Summer Movie Preview week and the movie season in general, we decided to ask the stars themselves what flicks they’re looking forward to. Some of them, as you can see in the video above, had their answers ready: The Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus and Rock of Ages were popular choices. Others, like Michelle Williams, gave us embarrassed looks as they admitted to not having a ready made movie calendar in their heads. Well, Michelle and the rest of the you can relax now. We’ve got a handy-dandy list here. And before, while and after you print it out, don’t forget to vote for your favorite Heroes, Heroines, Villains and Funny Ladies from this summer’s movies!

Review: ‘Natural Selection’ Mixes Family, God and Morning Wood Into an Offbeat and Rewarding Comedy

29 April 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Natural Selection opens with a birth, of sorts, and ends with another. Kind of. A landscaper is working the grounds outside a prison, but when he takes a break and walks away from his riding lawnmower the clippings bag begins to move. A seam rips open and out pours a scrawny, filthy, mulleted man clearly thrilled to have escaped from jail. A few states away Linda (Rachael Harris) and her husband Abe (John Diehl) are waking in bed. She makes moves of a seductive nature, but he shuts her down with a reminder that God would not approve. She’s barren and unable to conceive, and God only approves of fornication in the service of procreation. It’s a struggle that she accepts without complaint, but when Abe suffers an ironic stroke that puts him in a coma while “donating” at a sperm bank she discovers he’s been doing so since they were married over twenty »

Wash Your Hands After Watching 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days' Trailer

13 April 2012 12:09 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

The "Wimpy Kid" mini-empire continues to expand as Jeff Kinney's best-selling illustrated novels get a movie threequel that will be the subject of much discussion in every middle school lunchroom, if the new trailer from Yahoo! Movies is any indication.

"Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" is essentially a dweeby "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" with enough juvenile potty humor to make tweens giggle and hopefully some smart laughs as well, especially with a screenplay co-written by former "Simpsons" scribe/Wes Anderson regular Wallace Wolodarsky.

Zachary Gordon is back as the titular wimp, Greg Heffley, as he pretends to have a job at a country club to avoid potentially embarrassing situations, including a Boy Scout camping trip. The great Steve Zahn and Rachael Harris return as Greg's folks, as do the cool animations taken directly from Kinney's charming drawings.

We should expect some strong laughs from an »

Natural Selection Review

3 April 2012 5:54 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Natural Selection Written and Directed by: Robbie Pickering Starring: Rachael Harris, Matt O' Leary, Jon Gries and John Diehl When Natural Selection made the festival rounds last year, the film quickly became a darling of sorts, picking up various awards and accolades from discerning audiences and critics alike. Considering the fact that the film was made on a shoestring budget by a first-time director (Robbie Pickering), that’s no small feat. Now that the film is being rolled out in limited release, general audiences can discover what sets this little diamond in the rough apart from typical road-trip fare. Rachael Harris is terrific as Linda, a sexually and socially repressed woman who has been living a joyless life with her Christian Fundamentalist husband Abe (John Diehl). He’s so devout that the two of them haven’t had sex for over 20 years - she’s been rendered infertile, so clearly »

Natural Selection - Movie Review

28 March 2012 7:21 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

A commendable ultra-low budget indie road trip flick, .Natural Selection. fails to fire on all cylinders. Debut director Robbie Pickering brings you this one straight from the heart, Texas style. Filmed in and around Austin, it is the story of a woman finding herself, in a place where few women seem to get the chance. When her husband Abe (John Diehl) has a stroke secretly contributing to a sperm bank his dutiful wife Linda (Rachel Harris) sets off to grant him his last wish. His wish is that he might see his illegitimate son, living in Florida, before the stroke finishes him off. What follows is a rambling road trip through the rough and ready wilds of the cheap »

In Theaters: Take '21 Jump Street' To Get To 'Casa De Mi Padre' To Find 'Jeff Who Lives At Home'

16 March 2012 1:21 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Hello all, greetings from the humid climes of Austin, Texas! I am reporting your weekly In Theaters to you while taking a break from watching movies about rape, that take place in the woods, or are about long-forgotten musical icons. Pro-tip: next year, submit a film that's about a camping trip gone awry, with at least one rape of any kind, co-starring, like, one of the members of Ace of Base or something. Let's sign some checks people! No, but the fest has been super fun and crazy as most fests are and should be. Also, I'm very busy with plans to start a charitable foundation for independent filmmakers who are in desperate need of tripods. The lack of tripods is an important issue that is facing our independent films today. But since you are not here (or are you?), let's get down to what's in theaters this weekend! This »
