How Critics Handled Star Trek Into Darkness’s Bad-Guy Secret
17 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
(Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert!) After the first Star Trek reboot opened big in 2009, J.J. Abrams mused about having Khan be the villain in a sequel. And then he spent the next four years refuting the idea, swatting down any evidence that suggested it. Right up until today's premiere, he's been maintaining that Benedict Cumberbatch's villain is named John Harrison. (Seriously, This Is Your Last Spoiler Alert. Save Yourself!) Now the movie is open, and critics weighing in have had to decide just how much detail they are going to go into when describing Cumberbatch's bad guy. These reviewers split into three camps: complete avoidance, waffling hints, and flat-out shouting it to the space rafters.Avoids the IssueMany reviews chose to not even acknowledge the existence of a twist. Critics like Slate's Dana Stevens, the New York Times' A.O. Scott, Variety's Scott Foundas, and The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy »

Safe Haven - Blu-ray Review
16 May 2013 8:54 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
While it manages to be entertaining, Safe Haven follows the Nicholas Sparks' established blueprint too closely and fails to truly make the characters matter. Thankfully, the film is in the very capable hands of director Lasse Hallström and benefits from the likeable chemistry of its leads Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel. It is not a bad movie, but it could have been better given the amount of talent involved. Based on Sparks. novel, the film features a screenplay from Dana Stevens and Gage Lansky, and stars David Lyons, Irene Ziegler, Mimi Kirkland, Noah Lomax, Red West, and Cobie Smulders. Staying as spoiler free as possible due to the twists in the story, the film opens with a »

New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: CBS
15 May 2013 11:55 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fourth announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on CBS.
The king of the networks easily remains in charge despite "Elementary" being their only fresh hit of last season's new shows. The network's line-up remains fairly stable with only a few key moves such as Thursday being expanded to include two hours of comedy programming, and "Hawaii Five-0" moving to Fridays.
Several other pilots didn't make the cut this week including the series sequel to the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies, a TV version of the comedy "Bad Teacher", the "NCIS" mobile spin-off "NCIS: Red," a procedural based on Leif G.W. Persson's literary homicide detective Everett Backstrom, the Frank Marshall-produced political thriller "The Ordained" about a priest turned lawyer trying to save his sister from assassination, »

Pilot Update: ABC Picks Up 3 Women Created Pilots, CBS Picks Up 1
13 May 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
As the upfronts continue, the television news keeps coming out. ABC has picked up 3 women created pilots, including Super Fun Night from the hilarious Rebel Wilson and Trophy Wife from Emily Halpern and the very funny Sarah Haskins. CBS has picked up the gloriously soapy sounding Reckless from Dana Stevens and directed by Catherine Hardwicke. While we're glad about the pick up of these shows, that still totals only 8 women-created pilots that were picked up thus far between all the networks. And that's a really low number. Below you'll find descriptions of the shows picked up at ABC and CBS. (All descriptions courtesy of Deadline) ABC "Super Fun Night" Junior attorney Kimmie Boubier (Rebel Wilson) and her two best friends Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira) and Marika (Lauren Ash) have had a standing date every Friday night for the last 13 years. They even have a motto for what they call "Friday Night Fun Night": "Always together! »

Critical Consensus: Wesley Morris and Dana Stevens Debate Why We Should Care About 'Iron Man 3'
2 May 2013 5:19 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Editor’s note: Critical Consensus is a biweekly feature in which two critics from Indiewire’s Criticwire Network discuss new releases with Indiewire’s chief film critic, Eric Kohn. In this edition, Grantland's Wesley Morris and Slate's Dana Stevens grapple with "Iron Man 3" and its relevance in film culture. Part of me wants to ignore this movie and focus on the smaller releases that deserve the attention. On the other hand, the "Iron Man" series is too big to ignore -- and by many accounts a lot better than the standard blockbuster. Wesley, I want to start with you because you strike me as a bigger fan of the series as whole. You singled out both "Iron Man" and its sequel because you felt the dialogue scenes were actually stronger than the action. Do you feel that's still the case »

Watch: Werner Herzog Describes Roger Ebert's Search For "Truth In Cinema" On 'Charlie Rose'
16 April 2013 10:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It’s really amazing how fast time flies. It has already been two weeks since Roger Ebert left us, leaving a void in the film world that may never be filled. For many, his name was synonymous with the term “movie critic” with the Siskel & Ebert brand becoming a household name shortly after entering national syndication over thirty years ago. And though his contributions to his “At the Movies” show were limited starting in 2006, he still regularly updated his website with at least three to four reviews every weekend. Plus, once a month, he’d enter a new addition to his “Great Movies” list, giving us keen insight on all the great films in cinema, classic or modern. With news of his recent passing, everyone from filmmakers to the President have made public tributes to the man. Recently, critics A.O. Scott and Dana Stevens joined legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog on »

Watch: Werner Herzog Talks Ebert as More Than a Critic and Soldier of Cinema on Charlie Rose (Video)
15 April 2013 11:42 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Director Werner Herzog has had a sad last couple of weeks, with the loss of his friends film critic Roger Ebert and documentarian Les Blank. Below, Herzog's thoughts on Ebert on Charlie Rose (he joins critics A.O. Scott and Dana Stevens), with quote highlights. Here is a recent remembrance of Blank in the New Yorker (Toh! contributor Joe Leydon's interview with Blank in 1982 on "Burden of Dreams," his documentary on Herzog's chaotic Fitzcarraldo shoot, is here). Herzog, now 70, is one of those rare directors who possesses a brilliant talent for narrative and documentary filmmaking alike, and remains both prolific and an adventurous world-traveler in his older age. His most recent big-screen entry, "Happy People: A Year in the Taiga," which he co-directed with Dmitry Vasyukov, is an absorbing, season-by-season chronicle of hunters and trappers in the Siberian Taiga; alas, it had a run so brief, most cinephiles probably blinked and missed it. »

"A man goes to the movies..."
9 April 2013 1:52 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The dedications to Roger Ebert continue online, as people share their personal stories of the man as he clearly touched the lives of so many. Of the lot I found the following 20-minute segment from the recent episode of Charlie Rose's show one of the more interesting. Rose's guests included film critics A.O. Scott from the New York Times and Dana Stevens from Slate along with Werner Herzog as they share their memories and stories on how he influenced their careers. The clip of Ebert speaking on the Rose show from 2002 is a portion I found particularly interesting as Ebert brings up a favorite quote of his from Robert Warshow: "A man goes to the movies and the critic must be honest enough to admit he is that man." I'd read this quote from Ebert in the past and it actually changed the way I review movies in that »
