Veep’s Matt Walsh on Improv, the Beltway, and His Character’s Fake Dog
11 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
A founding member of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Matt Walsh is constantly popping up in comedies, especially those by friend and frequent collaborator Todd Phillips, to steal an improvised scene or two. But lately, he has been getting a lot more face time — and with the vice-president (as played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) — on HBO's Veep. On top of that, he recently wrote and directed what might be the first true improv movie, High Road, in history. So we thought it was high time to check in with the comedian about his movie, the show, and how he came up with his character's fake dog.Why are you in Chicago at the moment?I'm in a hotel room awaiting the premiere of High Road, along with James Pumphrey, Zach Woods, and Lizzy Caplan. I thought it was already on DVD?It's an indie, and we're very disorganized. [Laughs.] We're having a few »

Director John Madden Talks The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Capturing the Essence of India and Directing the Pilot for Showtime’s Masters Of Sex
2 May 2012 7:18 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The dramedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, from acclaimed and accomplished director John Madden, follows seven retirees from the U.K. in need of a transformation, who find themselves spending their golden years at a rundown hotel that does not quite live up to the lush amenities pictured in the brochure. The hotel’s naive young owner, Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patel), inherited the once sophisticated building from his father, hoping to turn it into a high-end luxury hotel. Instead, the water and electricity are iffy at best, and India’s overwhelming contrasts are both intoxicating and frightening for these seven newcomers, who are unsure about what the future might hold. The film stars Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Ronald Pickup and Celia Imrie. During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, director John Madden talked about why this premise was so attractive to him, determining what aspects of India to capture, »

Alison Brie on Frumpy Trudy and Her Art-School Sexual Experimentation
1 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
We went shopping in Soho with Alison Brie earlier this year and watched her try on a host of unfortunate dresses while we discussed her talented feet (she can make an egg-salad sandwich with ‘em), and her roles on two of our favorite TV shows, Community and Mad Men. Here’s what didn’t make it into the original profile, including her thoughts on frumpy Trudy, the inspiration for type-a Annie, and Brie’s art-school sexual experimentation.What was your experience shooting Save the Date?It was so fun. When we shot that movie we were all so close. It’s basically a five-hander with Martin Starr and Lizzy Caplan and Geoffrey Arend and Mark Webber. It sounds lame to say when people say "passion project" and you want to punch them in the face. But it was like we all just loved making it and we were so close when we did it. »

Diff: Michael Mohan Talks 'Save The Date' Starring Lizzy Caplan & Why It Needs To Be Seen On The Big Screen
29 April 2012 7:59 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
At a recent screening at the Dallas International Film Festival, writer-director Michael Mohan had to narrate the opening of his second feature film when it began with no sound: "Right now you're hearing the sounds of a book store. There might be a car driving by, and that guy is about to drink coffee." Fortunately the projectionist was able to restore sound by the time the title sequence started, but the botched and awkward opening set the mood for the equally awkward and uncomfortable situations that befall Lizzy Caplan in the romantic-comedy, "Save the Date."
The light and endearing film (you can read our review from Sundance right here) follows a struggling illustrator and bookstore manager (Caplan) who struggles with emotional vulnerability and commitment in the run up to her sister's wedding (played by "Community" and "Mad Men" star Alison Brie). And although the cast is rounded out by a »

Tonight on New Girl: Is There Enough Passion Between Jess and Russell? (Sneak Peeks)
Jess (Zooey Deschanel) met Russell's (Dermot Mulroney) ex-wife Ouli (Jeanne Tripplehorn) for the first time in last week's episode of New Girl. This encounter was less than fantastic after babysitting their daughter Sarah (Annalise Basso), descended into the kind of chaos that you would expect from New Girl. We will be spending some more time with Ouli tonight and this will lead to Jess questioning the not-so-fiery aspects of her relationship with Russell.
Meanwhile things are cooling down between Cece (Hannah Simone) and Schmidt (Max Greenfield) after their pregnancy scare but is this really what either of them wants? Nick (Jake Johnson) tries to channel all of his energy into something productive and comes up with tomatoes.
Ouli intimidates Jess and this matter isn't helped when Jess bumps into Russell's ex-wife at Russell's gym and »

Kirsten Dunst On The Road Poster
20 April 2012 4:36 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kirsten Dunst/Camille On the Road poster If this isn't an all-out smile, I don't know what is. Those sparkling white teeth and healthy-looking gums belong to Kirsten Dunst. What a world! What a life! What a dentist!. I'm assuming Dunst's is the last On the Road "character" poster we're adding, as every major On the Road character has already gotten his/her poster. Dunst's actually came out before the ones for the film's three leads, Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, and Kristen Stewart. We're just late posting it. In On the Road, Dunst plays Camille, the wife of Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), who leaves her behind to go on the road with the much younger Marylou (Stewart). Camille is based on Carolyn Cassady, the first wife of the sexually adventurous Neal Cassady (Moriarty in the novel/film). Sissy Spacek played Carolyn Cassady in John Byrum's Heart Beat, based on Cassady's 1976 book of memoirs, »

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 »

We're at the halfway point of the second run, and you can catch the series to date on the ITV Player until Monday. Though it started shakily, this cop-buddy-drama-com has really settled in this time around, with some zingy lines, a decent sense of plot and a healthy dose of scene-stealing from Amelia Bullmore (Alan Partridge, Jam, Twenty Twelve).

On The Rise 2012: 10 Actresses Poised For The Big Time
30 March 2012 1:48 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While there are still not enough good roles for women out there, particularly in mainstream Hollywood, that hasn't stopped a batch of young female stars from exploding from out of nowhere in recent years. Head-turning performances have helped launch faces like Carey Mulligan, Mia Wasikowska, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Felicity Jones and many others into the stratosphere, and the success last weekend of "The Hunger Games" has hopefully put to rest the fallacy that huge audiences won't turn up to big movies carried by a woman.
With that in mind, and hot on the heels of our ten picks for actors on the rise yesterday, we've chosen ten actresses who, while yet to be household names, have wowed audiences and casting directors in recent years, and look like strong contenders to headline the big movies of the future.

[SXSW Review] Frankie Go Boom
22 March 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Jordan Roberts’ Frankie Go Boom is, above all, a good time. There’s many ways a comedy like this can fail, most run out of steam after promising first act, but this one keeps reinventing itself, throwing another wrench in gears. And the crowd I saw it with seemed to agree most of what’s thrown up lands with big laughs.
Frank (Charlie Hunnam) has been humiliated his entire life by his older brother Bruce (Chris O’Dowd), an aspiring filmmaker, and Frank’s embarrassments from the age onward to his wedding has been lensed by Bruce. Both men have ticks and shortcomings, Frank is a recently divorced writer working from a camper in Death Valley and he’s called back to the suburbs by his parents for Frank’s home coming from rehab. They criticize Frank’s life decisions while giving Bruce a free pass for his past indiscretions. »

For your listening and smoking pleasure, here's the latest episode of my new, short radio series, The Indie on Demand Movie Review.

Pumphrey plays an aspiring musician, part-time philosopher, and small time drug dealer who's forced to flee town when he thinks the cops are after him. Under the direction of Upright Citizens Brigade founding member Matt Walsh, much panic, gender confusion, and herb partaking follow, fortified with hefty turns by such comedy pros as Ed Helms, Abby Elliot, Rob Riggle, and Lizzy Caplan, among others.
