Now You See Them – Do Magic Movies Make Movie Magic?
22 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Louis Leterrier’s Now You See Me is currently open in the Us, and opens in the UK on July 3rd. It stars Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher and Woody Harrelson as a team of magicians that perform in Las Vegas, wowing audiences whilst simultaneously robbing banks, sharing the proceeds with their audience. Whilst there have been numerous movies about witches, wizards and other fantasy magicians, there have been surprisingly few set around theatrical magicians.
Now You See Me isn’t the year’s first, though. Oz: The Great and Powerful featured Oz as a shady stage magician who had to use these skills to defeat an evil witch. There was more stage magic in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, a comedy telling the story of a duo of performing magicians who have a falling out. Whilst originally the tricks involved were going to be outrageous, impossible stunts, in the end David Copperfield »

Arrested Development Season 4 Report Card: C+
15 June 2013 8:22 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Now that the much anticipated Arrested Development season 4 has been released and digested in varied paces by the viewing public, it’s time to look at the 15 episodes as a whole.
While Netflix doesn’t release numbers, one has to imagine quite a few people tuned into their computers and TVs, all waiting to see what the return of the Bluth family would bring. Were they happy? Or disappointed? Probably a little bit of both.
Let’s go ahead and look at what the high, and inevitable low, points of this fourth season were... Report Card style!
Best Episode: To pick one episode is difficult because of the way the season was engineered, but if I absolutely had to, I’d go with Buster’s episode, "Off The Hook." It was the perfect blend of old school Arrested Development ridiculousness and the new storytelling they had to go with to accommodate everyone’s schedules. »

Was season 4 Arrested Development's best yet?
12 June 2013 11:21 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Gem Wheeler 12 Jun 2013 - 07:00
Gem argues that in many ways, Arrested Development's fourth season is the show at its very best...
This article contains spoilers for the fourth season of Arrested Development.
It was always going to divide opinion. Let's face it, classic sitcoms aren't revived every day, and the build-up to Arrested Development's return from TV limbo fostered ridiculously high expectations. No showrunner could ever hope to please all of the fans, all of the time. Unsurprisingly, reviews have been mixed. Some praised the continuing audacity of Ad's plotting, the multi-layered references and the depth of the characterisation. Others criticised the immoderate length of some episodes, while lamenting the absence of several key cast members for long stretches.
Yet for all that, Arrested Development's fourth season was perhaps its most accomplished to date. Okay, some elements didn't quite work. Yes, the longer episode length proved to be problematic. »

Amy Poehler's New Man Admits His Longtime Crush on Her
7 June 2013 12:37 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Amy Poehler and new boyfriend Nick Kroll made their first public debut when they attended AFI's Lifetime Achievement Award tribute to Mel Brooks in Hollywood yesterday. The two stars have reportedly been dating since April, but they have been friends for years before they got romantic. Amy and Nick met at the Upright Citizens Brigade, and Nick recently admitted that he always had a crush on her, saying, "There are people you have crushes on because they’re physically attractive, and there are people you just have comedy crushes on, and they’re constantly intersecting. I had comedy crushes on men and women at [Ucb]. And I think it’s fair to say that everyone who meets Amy has a crush on her." Amy and Nick weren't the only funny couple at the bash, which included an appearance by Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, who recently costarred with Amy's ex-husband, »

'Now You See Me' - a trick that dissipates (Ians Movie Review)
6 June 2013 11:11 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Film: "Now You See Me"; Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Melanie Laurent, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Michael Kelly; Director: Louis Leterrier; Rating: **1/2
This star-filled ensemble is director Louis Leterrier's attempt to pull the rabbit out of the hat.
With an alluring premise, "Now You See Me" is about four talented, but down on their luck magicians. They are; a haughty street illusionist - J. Daniel Atlas (Jessie Eisenberg), an escape artist - Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), a disgraced hypnotist - Merrit McKinney (Woody Harrelson), and a pick-pocket cum lock opener - Jack Wilder (Dave Franco).

Top 7 Comedy Casts of the Past Decade
6 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
Beginning with this trailer back in February, I’ve hated the marketing for The Internship. It looks like an unfunny Google ad that hopes everybody still really likes the Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson pairing. To be fair, this film does have an appealing cast on paper. I like Vaughn and Wilson, and there’s a funny film to be made with them, John Goodman, Rose Byrne, Josh Gad, Aasif Mandvi, and the rest. I’m just not feeling good about this being it.
Still, maybe The Internship will be much better than the trailers and TV spots have made it seem. That’s something we can find out this weekend. Right now I want to stop with the speculation and instead look back on some of my favorite recent comedies and their awesome casts. I stuck to films whose main goal is »

Isla Fisher writing thriller
6 June 2013 2:59 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Angeles, June 6: After spending more than a decade in Hollywood, actress Isla Fisher is trying her hands at writing a script. She is creating a thriller with her mother.
The 37-year-old actress' mother, Elspeth Reid, had helped her publish two novels "Bewitched" and "Seduced by Fame" when she was 18-year-old, reports contactmusic.com.
She said: "My mum and I have actually been writing a script for a thriller together. It's really fun. She doesn't understand the rules of screenwriting, so I'm often like, 'What?! Mum, you can't kill off the protagonist on page 10!' She breaks all the rules, which makes it original at least.. »

Now that America has had time to absorb the new season of Arrested Development (and catch up on some sleep), series creator/executive producer Mitchell Hurwitz (him?) spoke to reporters on a conference call today about the 15 episodes released on Netflix, the future of the franchise, and more.

Isla Fisher: I Was Rejected by Sacha Baron Cohen's Agent
4 June 2013 12:26 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
It's safe to say Isla Fisher hit a few bumps in the road before she made it big in the Hollywood biz. "I really have had no help," the redheaded beauty reveals in the July issue of Cosmopolitan U.K. before admitting she was once rejected by her then-boyfriend (and current hubby) Sacha Baron Cohen's agent. "In fact, the one time I did ask for help was after my agent in L.A. fired me," she reveals. "I was auditioning for all sorts of things but kept getting told 'no,' so she just fired me! So anyway, I said to Sacha, who was my boyfriend at the time, 'Can you ask your agent if they'll represent me?' And his agent said, 'No way.' It was the only favor I'd »
TV Review - Arrested Development Season 4

Stephen Glass reviews Season 4 of Arrested Development....
Seven years of wishing and hoping and begging and praying on the part of innumerable hardcore Arrested Development fans came to an end last Sunday with the simultaneous release of 15 new episodes on Netflix, and early reviews all seem to agree; it’s different, it’s difficult, it’s darker, and it’s just not as funny as the show we know.
Suffice it to say there are points I agree with in these reviews, but as with the show’s first three seasons, your mind isn’t really made up having only watched it for a week. This isn’t to say you wouldn’t love Arrested Development from the pilot onward, but if you do, in all likelihood you’ll love it and laugh with it more and more on repeat viewings. It’s home viewing and reviewing on DVD which »
