In Theaters: 'Dark Shadows' May A Cause A 'Sleepless Night,' But 'God Bless America' For 'Bonsai'

11 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

So “The Avengers” knocked it out of the park, huh? With a $600 million intake worldwide and lots and lots of good reviews, Joss Whedon and the folks over at Marvel can probably even one-up James Cameron at the next Masters of the Hollywood Universe fete. (That sounds fun, doesn’t it? I’d go to a party like that.) This weekend is a little smaller, but looking good nonetheless. A number of foreign films that have done well in the festival circuit, and the latest eyefeast from Burton and Co. hit theaters today, providing quite a lot of competition – if not dazzling CGI and budget – for the massive blockbuster winner of last week. Let’s see how they measure up.

Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows,” an adaptation of a 1960s television show, opens this weekend, with Johnny Depp playing Barnabas, a wealthy landowner-turned-vampire that is awoken after a 200-year nap in the ground, »

Nesting Movie Review

11 May 2012 5:43 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »

Title: Nesting Director: John Chuldenko Starring: Todd Grinnell, Ali Hillis, Kevin Linehan, Erin Chambers, Erin Gray The challenges of a young marriage without kids is an infrequent subject in movies, but that’s the sweet spot of examination in writer-director John Chuldenko’s bittersweet, fitfully engaging “Nesting,” which benefits from a pair of appealing leads and this sort of original focus, but ultimately doesn’t showcase enough psychological perspicacity or elicit a deep enough audience identification to rise above the level of bohemian curio. Los Angelenos Neil (Todd Grinnell) and Sarah (Ali Hillis), a thirtysomething but childless married couple, find themselves stuck in a bit of a relationship rut. They have to clear  [ Read More ] »

DVD Review: ‘Marvel Anime: X-Men’ – The Animated Series – A Beautiful Experiment That Goes Haywire

7 May 2012 5:39 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

Marvel animation has never been a high point of their multimedia outreach but last year G4 aired four Marvel Anime series (X-Men, Iron Man, Blade and Wolverine), taking the beauty of the animation from Japan and the lively characters of Marvel’s mutant superteam, the X-Men. Unfortunately G4 doesn’t have the biggest coverage so this now it’s been collected Marvel Anime: X-Men The Complete Series on DVD. The X-Men Anime team is largely the one used in Astonishing X-Men, and since Warren Ellis wrote both this series and part of that comic series it makes sense that he would use that roster.

There are twelve episodes but the story is split into two halves. The first is seeing the X-Men team of Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast and Professor X trying to locate a young mutant in Japan. They are still in the wake of losing Jean Grey (especially »

Find Out How a Coffee Maker Can Stump a Grown Man in Exclusive Clip from ‘Nesting’

7 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Four-slice toasters just don’t cut it anymore. Fridges aren’t worth a thing if they can’t make ice, filter water, and massage your head all at once. Ovens? They have to turn themselves on and knead the cookie dough beforehand. Modern appliances are daunting pieces of machinery these days, and few are more scary than the next wave of coffee makers. Kiss the Krups of yesteryear goodbye, and say hello to rigs that wouldn’t be out of place in a Starbucks. Is this what growing up means? In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, it kind of does. The film, starring Todd Grinnell and Ali Hillis, centers on a couple who aren’t quite settled into the idea of growing up and moving on with their lives – and their coffee maker isn’t helping matters. The pair embark on a fun trip to their past, hitting their old neighborhood and their favorite haunts from their early »

Trailer for ‘Nesting’: Yes, Former Hipsters, You Can Go Home Again

25 April 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Growing up is never easy, and it sure as hell doesn’t get any better when you’re convinced that your old life (and the younger version of you) was the better existence of the two. In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, thirtysomething couple Neil (Todd Grinnell, who looks and sounds like an indie Paul Rudd) and Sarah (Ali Hillis) find that their “grown-up” lives aren’t all they’re cracked up to be – packed with “nesting,” picking out furniture that has color names based on snack foods, and knowing stupid trivia about The Bachelor (of all things). Unhappy in their current lives, Neil and Sarah decide to take a trip down memory lane, and right back into the neighborhoods they spent their twenties in (Angelenos will recognize scads of Silver Lake and Echo Park locations from this first trailer alone). However, Neil and Sarah aren’t content with just visiting their old lives – they want to slip »
