(500) Days Of Summer Review
16 July 2009 8:40 AM, PDT | From Spout.com | See recent Spout news
Shortly after Sundance 2009, Paul wrote a post explaining why he walked out of one of the festival’s biggest buzz-suckers, the romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer. "I figured I’d never write, “It was so-so” for a review, so I left,” he wrote. Acknowledging that he couldn’t “write a “review” of a movie I didn’t fully watch,” he instead decided to “write a review of my decision to walk out a half hour into it,” using a particularly glowing blurb about the film as a bounceboard. Pouncing on a much friendlier comparison to Garden State, Paul wrote 500 off as a weak copy of Zach Braff’s break-out: “It’s kind of like if Gar ...

Easiest Emmy race to predict: best comedy actor
13 July 2009 7:38 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news
Our dueling Emmy experts and forum moderators — Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria (AwardsHeaven.net) — clash in most categories when predicting nominees, but they completely agree on who the six nominees will be in the race for best comedy actor. Last year, remember, they also concurred on this lineup — and they proved to be correct. This year's list, they say, will include reigning champ Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"), three-time winner Tony Shalhoub ("Monk"), a pair of three-time nominees – Steve Carell ("The Office") and Charlie Sheen ("Two and a Half Men") – and newcomers David Duchovny ("Californication") and Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"). Best Comedy Actor
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock" – Rob, Boomer
Steve Carell, "The Office" – Rob, Boomer
David Duchovny, "Californication" – Rob, Boomer

Zach Braff will also be back next season for no less than six episodes. Other cast members may also make appearances but most of the cast members will be new faces.

Inside track: Emmy race for lead actor in a comedy
4 July 2009 6:58 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news
Last year's champ, Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"), will probably face off again opposite perennial nominees Steve Carell ("The Office") and Charlie Sheen ("Two and a Half Men"), who've never won, and three-time champ Tony Shalhoub ("Monk"). That means there will be room for two more nominees. If an Emmy god exists, one of the picks will be Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"). The other? Maybe David Duchovny ("Californication"), who was robbed of a bid last year. Lee Pace got nominated in 2008 but probably won't be back considering that the canceled "Pushing Daisies" has wilted.
** Nominee last year * Top 10 semifinalist in 2008 Lead Actor In A Comedy Series
(Front-runners)
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock" ** (Winner, 2009)
Zach Braff, "Scrubs"
Steve Carell, "The Office" **

Creator: New 'Scrubs' not set in hospital
21 June 2009 11:50 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news
Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has claimed that the show's upcoming season will not be located at Sacred Heart Hospital. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he revealed that the ninth run would be set at a medical school where Dr Cox (John C. McGinley) and Dr Turk (Donald Faison) are teaching. "It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad," he explained. The new season will also mark the departure of regular cast members including narrator Zach Braff (Dr Jd Dorian) (more)

Scrubs Heads to School in New Fall Season
20 June 2009 7:46 AM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news
Scrubs is set to go through a major transformation when it returns in the fall. According to The Ausiello Files, John C. McGinley's Dr. Cox and Donald Faison's Turk will leave the hospital to become med-school professors.
Bill Lawrence, the man behind the sitcom, stated, "It'll be a lot like Paper Chase as a comedy. It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster and people would be mad." The Sacred Heart hospital will still be part of the show, as new students will occasionally rotate through its halls. The cast will include a slew of new faces, most of them playing students, but Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins have all agreed to return in some capacity.

Snag This: Stagedoor
10 June 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Did the kids who just won Tony Awards for Billy Elliott on Broadway ever have to endure this kind of criticism from a director? "Stop, stop, stop! It's 'toward.' Who is singing 'towards'? ... If you put an 's' on it, it makes it cheap, it makes it sound like you're from Long Island. Nothing against Long Islands ..." Thus begins Stagedoor, a documentary about a summer camp with superstar alumni such as Robert Downey, Jr., Natalie Portman, Mandy Moore, Bryce Howard, Zach Braff, Amy Ryan, Jon Cryer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Felicity Huffman, and director Shawn Levy. Our friends at SnagFilms have made the film available for free online viewing.

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: May 31, 2009

In the Wrap Up this Week:
The box office is Up; Robert Downey Jr might still saddle up for Cowboys and Aliens; Lucy beats Nicole Kidman to the Punch; Natalie Portman, Danny McBride and James Franco salute Your Highness; Seann William Scott and Adam Brody are A Couple of Dicks and Chevy Chase dips his toes in the Hot Tub Time Machine and he may return as Fletch.
Box Office:
The summer season is now well and truly here. Pixar’s Up shows that family films and the Pixar brand are hugely profitable. The animated film banked a huge $68 million over the weekend. For a film that sells most of it’s tickets in half price matinees that’s a lot of attendance.
Last week’s champion Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian had to settle for the runner up spot with a weekend take of $25 million. With

Chevy Chase Gets in ‘Time Machine’, Plans Visit to ‘Fletch’
29 May 2009 9:37 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
It's hard to say when Chevy Chase was last funny on the silver screen. He's had a few moments, mostly on the popular geek property Chuck, on the small tube, but he hasn't really done much in the way of cinematic hilarity since well, the nineties. But all that might possibly not really change in the near future, as Chase is eying several projects on the horizon that may give him a little lift back into the world of being funny. Up first, according to THR, is the Steve Pink-directed time-travel comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, which follows a group of unsatisfied guys who get thrown back to their younger days in 1987 via their jacuzzi. Chase will play a mysterious repairman who dispenses pearls of wisdom and may or may not be behind the metaphysical road trip. Wait a second, spoiler alert? I don't know if you've seen Christopher Walken in Click or not, but

Chevy Chase Joins the Time Traveling 'Hot Tub'

Are you a Chevy Chase fan? If so you may be interested in catching Fletch on Blu-ray next week or you may be interested to know he has just joined the cast of Hot Tub Time Machine for director Steve Pink and United Artists. Chase joins a cast top-lined by John Cusack and Rob Corddry in a film that follows a bunch of unsatisfied guys who get thrown back to their younger days in 1987 via their Jacuzzi. Chase plays a mysterious repairman who dispenses pearls of wisdom and may or may not be behind the metaphysical road trip. The film is shooting in Vancouver and is scheduled for a February 26, 2010 release. Jay A. Fernandez at The Hollywood Reporter is saying this is part of a perceived Chase comeback thanks to a recent story arc Chase was involved in on NBC's "Chuck" and his casting in the Polish brothers' film Stay Cool,

Cameron Stars On The Beach in Her Itty Bitty Bikini

Cameron Diaz sported another colorful bikini from her collection while splashing around the beach in Hawaii yesterday. Her tropical vacation is a much-deserved one considering the promotions she's about to begin for My Sister's Keeper. The work isn't stopping for Cameron after that. She's already signed on to a new movie called Swingles, which Zach Braff is starring in and directing. The film is about two characters playing each other's wingman, and with this comedic duo, it sounds like it's bound to be a funny hit.

A Weekend of 'Bu-BQs

By Jenny Sundel
The surefire way to tell that summer has arrived in Hollywood: sponsored beach houses along the Malibu coastline (and the pesky, inevitable noise complaints that inevitably follow). On Sunday, Nivea hosted celebs at a seaside spot overlooking Point Dume with a good ol'-fashioned Memorial Day BBQ and Shay Todd bikini bash. Surely it was the latter that brought out Zach Braff, who recorded the day with his camera, and Jeremy Piven, who rocked out to Randy Coleman’s acoustic set. Lance Bass, however, was probably more in...

Trailer - How 'Star Wars' Changed Things in '77'
26 May 2009 1:19 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
I didn't think Fanboys did much to ingratiate itself to non-Star Wars fans, but '77 looks like it approaches Star Wars as a story element in the life of someone rather than someone's life revolving around Star Wars. That's a big difference if you're in the audience.
To be sure, there's plenty of George Lucas in this story of a young small-town filmmaker who loves the movies and loves, loves, loves, sci-fi. To Pat Johnson (John Francis Daley), May 25, 1977 just seems like it could be the best day in the world. As he says, "In the movie theater, there are no cliques," meaning his inner geek is the same as everyone else's.
I think Daley has shades of Zach Braff here, but not like Scrubs season four - present Zach Braff; I meant the comparison as a compliment, actually. Take a look for yourself:

Zach Braff to return to movies Swingles
24 May 2009 2:09 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news
Funny dude Zach Braff will follow up to his 2004 indie film Garden State with a comedy called “Swingles.”
The “Scrubs” star is currently in negotiations with Paramount Pictures to write, direct, and co-star in the film, which already has Cameron Diaz on board. Swingles is still searching for a male lead, as Braff will only play a supporting character.
The story is about “a bachelor who is dumped by his wingman and teams up with a sharp-tongued woman he can’t stand in order to meet singles.” It is based off a Duncan Birmingham spec and a draft written by Jeff Roda.
Public Enemies producer Kevin Misher will be supporting the project.
With a zippy title like “Swingles” and the inclusion of Cameron Diaz, it doesn’t seem like this Braff’s film will echo the adolescent melodramatic garbage that made Garden State so distasteful. Braff’s past forays into

So, they join forces to help each other find a mate. We see where this is going! Who wants to bet Cameron and Zach’s characters get together in the end. But there...

Zach Braff and Cameron Diaz are ‘Swingles’
21 May 2009 9:16 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news
Zach Braff is joining Cameron Diaz in the relationship comedy Swingles. He’s also in negotiations to direct and rewrite the script, his first feature since the successful indie Garden State.
According to Variety, the story centers on a bachelor who loses his wingman and “teams up with a sharp-tongued woman he can’t stand” to pick up singles. Braff would actually play a supporting role in the film while the male lead is still unsigned. The script has been through several drafts.
Despite a heart-felt, lengthy send-off for his character (J.D.) on the recently concluded season of “Scrubs,” Braff just signed for six more episodes at ABC. He announced his departure from the show earlier this year to focus on directing.
I know it’s the new hipster thing to make fun of the “hipsters” who enjoyed his first film, but I thoroughly enjoyed Garden State. I’m
