Chicago – John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill (and Marisa Tomei and Catherine Keener) prove to be a perfect comedy duo in the nearly-great “Cyrus,” a delightfully left-of-center comedy that allows these two talented men to prove that they have some of the best comic timing in the business. “Cyrus” is a daring comedy about when someone new in your life crosses the line from “eccentric” to “dangerous.” Don’t miss it.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
Reilly stars as John, a sad, lonely man trying to put his life back together and realizing that one of the new puzzle pieces doesn’t quite fit. John gets drunk at parties and tells people about his depression. Strangely, his honesty and vulnerability draws him to the gorgeous Molly (Marisa Tomei), someone used to dealing with people who may need a bit more emotional attention than others because of her fragile son Cyrus (Jonah Hill).

DVD Playhouse December 2010
By

America Lost And Found: The Bbs Story (Criterion) Perhaps the best DVD box set released this year, this ultimate cinefile stocking stuffer offered up by Criterion, the Rolls-Royce of home video labels, features seven seminal works from the late ‘60s-early ‘70s that were brought to life by cutting edge producers Bert Schneider, Steve Blauner and director/producer Bob Rafelson, the principals of Bbs Productions. In chronological order: Head (1968) star the Monkees, the manufactured (by Rafelson, et al), American answer to the Beatles who, like it or not, did make an impact on popular culture, particularly in this utterly surreal piece of cinematic anarchy (co-written by Jack Nicholson, who has a cameo), which was largely dismissed upon its initial release, but is now regarded as a counterculture classic. Easy Rider (1969) is arguably regarded as the seminal ‘60s picture, about two hippie drug dealers (director Dennis Hopper »

Starring: Jonah Hill, John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Catherine Keener
Director: Jay and Mark Duplass
The Scoop: Reilly is John, whose social life is a total downer until he meets Molly (Tomei). Sparks fly immediately and soon they’re embarking on a romantic journey. Just one major roadblock – Molly’s son Cyrus (Hill). The 21-year-old is ultra-protective of his mom and has no intentions of sharing her attention with another man. Reilly once again makes domestic disputes utterly hilarious.

Blu-ray Review
Directed by: Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass
Cast: John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill
Running Time: 1 hr 30 min
Rating: R
Due Out: December 14, 2010
Plot: A lonely divorced man (Reilly) meets a fun, beautiful woman (Tomei). The catch, her weird, adult son Cyrus (Hill) is determined to break them up.
Who’S It For? Despite the actors in the title roles, this isn’t a typical comedy. Though funny at times, it’s also dramatic and kind of mature, though the characters aren’t always.
Movie:
Cyrus tries to sell itself as a comedy, especially in the trailer. Though some parts are funny, I’d consider it more of a drama. It tells the story of three people who have trouble connecting, for various reasons; a mother and son who are so insular she hasn’t even had a boyfriend in years and a divorced man who »

It’s winter break, you guys. You know what that means, don’t you?
A month of repeats, that’s what.
Yes, as much as winter break signifies rest and rejuvenation for the college student population of America, it’s all about boredom and monotony in the television world. Sure, a few cable reality shows are still going on and the occasional scripted show, but for the most part, we’re out of luck until the first week of the new year at the earliest. But don’t fret, TV fans, as there is plenty of good stuff to tide you over during the blizzards and endless holiday specials.
Here are five shows that you would do well in catching up on/completing during the holiday break:
Freaks & Geeks (NBC)
How many episodes: 18
Who’s in it: James Franco, Busy Phillips, Seth Rogen, Linda Cardinelli, John Francis Daley, and Jason Segel, »

For something less serious, but equally compelling, there is also Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work," which follows the »

Who has time for low budget indie films when you're being offered lead parts in the latest for Terrence Malick's latest project, Terence Davies' The Deep Blue Sea and will reteam with Fernando Meirelles on 360. This happens to be the case for Rachel Weisz, who is forced to vacate from the Seattle indie, but in her place we find perhaps a better casting choice in Rosemarie DeWitt. The actress best known for perhaps her supportive sister role in Rachel Getting Married, will take on the "older sis" role in what appears to be some sort of triage drama that we guess would undoubtably see Mark Duplass fall for the younger sister in Emily Blunt. I was under the impression that shooting had already begun on the Untitled Lynn Shelton project, which should soon be the case if the trades are mentioning the current switcheroo.

With Rachel Weisz signing on for a number of projects all shooting within the next short while, we figured at least one of them was going to get left in the dust. As you might recall, early last month Weisz signed on to star in an untitled new film from director Lynn Shelton, who was behind last year's Sundance hit "Humpday." The semi-improvised film--which also stars Emily Blunt and Mark Duplass--revolves around a man who comes between two sisters, but it looks like Blunt will be getting a new sibling. Variety reports that Rosemarie DeWitt will replacing Weisz, who has… »

Jeff Schaffer, a showrunner on FX's "The League," claims that in the first 22 years of his life he never heard the term "showrunner." Short of writing for the Harvard Lampoon in college, he had virtually no exposure to the entertainment industry. At Harvard he majored in biological anthropology, "which I've utilized in L.A. as the study of man sucking up to other men to get a job," he quips. But he now boasts an extensive Hollywood résumé, including stints as an executive producer on "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."By contrast, Jackie Marcus Schaffer, his wife and fellow "League" showrunner, was quite familiar with the term. Though she grew up assuming she'd be an attorney, she's a Los Angeleno who went to school with Tori Spelling, daughter of producer Aaron Spelling. But after graduating from Georgetown University, where she studied political theory, she was drawn to show business and »

Rachel Weisz and Emily Blunt are to play sisters in a new semi-improvised project. The as-yet-untitled movie, which is to be filmed in Seattle later this month, is to be produced by Steven Schardt, and is expected to take just a couple of weeks to shoot.
Indie director, writer and producer of the film Lynn Shelton has recruited the two British stars to play a pair of siblings who find their relationship is put to the test when a man, played by "Humpday" actor Mark Duplass, threatens to come between them.
Both actresses are well-known for having notoriously busy work schedules, with Weisz having spent a week on Terrence Malick's untitled new film earlier in the month, while shooting for "The Deep Blue Sea" begins in November. It is thought the brief shoot time of the Lynn Shelton film is what has allowed Weisz to take part, as she »

Seemingly locked in competition to see who can have the busiest work diary, Rachel Weisz and Emily Blunt have apparently decided to compromise and work on a film together. They’ve both signed on to indie director Lynn Shelton’s latest, untitled, partly improvised film, which will see them starring as sisters.And Shelton, who won buzz and applause for her bromantic comedy Humpday, has recruited one of the stars of that film, Mark Duplass, who is something of an indie film guru himself, who most recently co-directed Cyrus, to play the man who comes between the two siblings.So just how were the two busy bee actresses able to squeeze it into their packed schedules? Thanks to Shelton’s shooting style, the film, which is almost ready to shoot in Seattle, will take just two weeks out of their lives.Weisz has been shooting a small role on Terence »
