With Showtime’s recent dramas Homeland and Shameless, characters with bipolar disorder on television are no longer on the fringes. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "TV Tackles Bipolar Disorder," in which I explore the portrayals of Carrie Mathison and Monica Gallagher, played by Claire Danes and Chloe Webb, as individuals with bipolar disorder and how those realistic and nuanced portrayals both shape their respective series but also help to remove the stigma associated with mental illness. I talk to Homeland co-creator Alex Gansa about Carrie's illness and how her decision to turn to Ect will affect Season Two (beginning in September) and with Shameless writer/producer Etan Frankel about the handling of Monica and how her condition has molded the Gallagher family. On Homeland, Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison is a brilliant and ambitious CIA analyst, gifted with a beautiful mind that sees connections and »

After last week's really heavy episode of Shameless, "Fiona Interrupted" brought us some resolutions to all the chaos.
The two biggest developments were Karen having her baby and Monica attempting suicide in front of her children on Thanksgiving. While Karen giving birth was set to be a semi-joyous occasion - despite the fact that she was giving him up for adoption - things went awry. The baby was Asian, so it turns out Lip was Not the father, which was devastating to him but obviously not devastating enough considering he went back to watch Karen sleep.
Hasn't Lip had enough? She's a heartless sociopath. I know there was some confusion as to whether or not the baby has Down Syndrome and the answer is yes, he does. The adoptive parents changed their mind and, as we know, Sheila and Jody stole the baby from the hospital.

Fox has released two of the most romantic anti-romances of all time on Blu-ray: Sid and Nancy and The Apartment. Both show the negatives of dating, and the headaches that come from love, which sometimes include being arrested for murder. Billy Wilder does career best work (which is saying something) with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacClaine and Fred MacMurray in The Apartment, while Alex Cox creates some of his most indelible imagery with stars Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb in Sid and Nancy. Both are well worth checking out on Blu-ray and our reviews follow after the jump: C.C. Baxter (Lemmon) is climbing in corporate business. All his supervisors love him, and he’s only been at the job for a year. There’s a catch, though. The reason that he’s a rising commodity is because he allows three of them to use his apartment at night to entertain »

DVD Playhouse—February 2012
By Allen Gardner
To Kill A Mockingbird 50th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Robert Mulligan’s film of Harper Lee’s landmark novel pits a liberal-minded lawyer (Gregory Peck) against a small Southern town’s racism when defending a black man (Brock Peters) on trumped-up rape charges.

Bonuses: Two feature-length documentaries: Fearful Symmetry and A Conversation with Gregory Peck; Featurettes; Excerpts and film clips from Gregory Peck’s Oscar acceptance speech and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award; Commentary by Mulligan and producer Alan J.

Have you ever wondered how Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy) became TV's most vile, deadbeat dad? Well, you know what they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Coming up on Showtime's "Shameless," Grammy Gallagher (Louise Fletcher) is paying her son Frank a visit, straight out of jail, and she's bringing a whole lot of crazy with her.
"Grammy is going to end up mano a mano at Sheila's (Joan Cusack), on Sheila's couch, so that will be interesting," star Emmy Rossum told HuffPost TV. "When we meet Grammy, we finally understand why Frank is the way he is, especially Fiona. Grammy is Frank to the Nth degree. She's even worse. She's scheming, and when she comes back, the first thing she does when she gets out of jail, on medical furlough, is open up a meth lab in our basement, and she has Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) running it. »

The Delivery
The 1986 cult classic that tells the incredible but tragic story of Sid Vicious and his drug-addicted girlfriend Nancy Spungen gets a Blu-ray release for the first time. The appeal of the story and the fact that it is a great film has earned fans over the years, but this is hardly a sympathetic tale for either lead character.

Shortly after Repo Man (which still has no Blu-Ray release scheduled for North America), Alex Cox followed up his cult classic with a biopic about Sid Vicious. Instead of the sensationalism of the punk scene or how influential the Sex Pistols were to punk, Cox decided to focus on Vicious and his junkie girlfriend Nancy, an American who was visiting London at the time they met, and their descent in a drug induced downward spiral towards the end of their short lives.
The Film
Sid Vicious (played amazingly by Gary Oldman) is the bassist for the British punk band Sex Pistols who meets American groupie/junkie/drifter Nancy Spungen (Chloe Webb). While initially blowing her off, something in him takes an interest to her and once Sid and Nancy team up and start shooting up heroin together, they begin to rely on and confide on each other.

Chicago – When I interviewed Tomas Alfredsson, the director of “Let the Right One In” and “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,” he told me a wonderful story about Gary Oldman watching daily footage of himself on the set of “Tinker” as his character, George Smiley, fried an egg in his robe. Exciting stuff. Gary turned to Tomas and said, “I used to be Sid Vicious.” See what he meant by that with the Collector’s Edition of this 25-year-old film.
Blu-ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
There are only a few people in the history of rock ‘n’ roll that can accurately be called forces of nature more than mere musicians — Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Robert Plant, the people who changed their art not by attempting to do so but by being honest to their own vision. Sid Vicious didn’t set out to change music by basically inventing punk, but that’s exactly what he did. »

William H. Macy is bombarded with questions from his wife Felicity Huffman after every Shameless sex scene he shoots.
The actress admits she's not fond of watching her husband play alcoholic patriarch Frank Gallagher in the U.S. series because he films so many "wild" romps with his female co-stars, who rave about his manliness.
She tells You magazine, "My husband says that when he sees me in a sex scene he closes his eyes and hums, but when I see him - and boy has he had some scenes in Shameless - I do that thing that women do, I will quiz him afterwards: 'What was she like?', 'Do you think she's pretty?' and 'How big was her butt?'
"The other day he came home from the set of Shameless and told me that the actress who plays his estranged wife, Chloe Webb, with whom he has been doing these wild sex scenes, had told him that she loved acting with him because he was 'such a man and usually I am acting with boys'. He loved that."
But the Desperate Housewives star has learned to accept that sex scenes come with the territory in a Hollywood couple's line of work.
She adds, "It's all fine - we both know that having sex on set is the least sexy thing you could ever do in your life because there are 20 people in the room and 100 more watching and all I am ever thinking is, 'I hope I don't look disgusting.'" »

Yes, it’s true: your favorite hot mess of a family is back in just over 24 hours, as Shameless kicks off season two tomorrow night.
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely Emmy Rossum about the upcoming season, her role as Team Gallagher’s mother hen, and of course, those nude scenes.
First things first, what is different about season 2? Previews have clued us in that it’s summertime on the Southside. What else is going on?
"We see the Gallaghers doing much better financially," Rossum said. "Summer is when they bank most of their money for the winter so it’s interesting to see them like this.”
The Gallaghers with money? This I’ll have to see with my own eyes to believe! Besides the improved hustle, I had to ask what was in store for Frank, played by a brilliant William H. Macy. »
