'Mentalist' finale: Creator talks Red John reveal, Jane going darker next season
17 May 2012 10:02 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
[Warning: Contains spoilers from Thursday night's Mentalist finale]
Get that limo! Get that limo! But that dastardly Red John outsmarted Patrick Jane again in the season 4 finale, having used a decoy to fool the Cbi team. Worry not: EW.com has an interview with The Mentalist creator Bruno Heller, who wrote tonight’s episode, answering burning questions about the finale, sharing thoughts about Red John’s identity, and giving hints as to what fans can expect next season and beyond (could The Mentalist suffer the same abrupt conclusion as CSI: Miami?).
Entertainment Weekly: You got to jailbreak Patrick Jane from the constraints of the Cbi. Bet you had fun writing this one. »

EW Rage Box: S.H.I.E.L.D. is the worst thing about the Marvel movies
4 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The Avengers is a big, colorful film about big, colorful characters with big, colorful personalities. “Big” and “colorful” sum up the cycle of Marvel franchise kick starters that preceded Avengers. The two Iron Man movies, Thor, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk vary in quality, but they all bear the same stamp. It’s a style that dates to the days of when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the important superheroes of the second half of the 20th century. The Lee-Kirby dynamic is rife with controversy, but the simplest version goes like this: Kirby was the medium-reinventing artiste who »

Review: The Cabin in the Woods
2 May 2012 10:06 AM, PDT | Pure Movies | See recent Pure Movies news »
This is the Pure Movies review for The Cabin in the Woods, directed by Drew Goddard and starring Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. When MGM went bankrupt in 2010, this film, although complete, was one of the casualties. It languished in development hell for a couple of years until Lions Gate bought the rights for its release, and it’s easy to see both why it was left alone also why Lions Gate did finally take a punt, because The Cabin in the Woods is totally unpredictable. »

25 years later, “Adventures in Babysitting” stands apart in the teen comedy genre
26 April 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Given the recent surge of 1980s popular culture nostalgia, discussions of that decade’s iconic films unfailingly revert to the unique 1980s teen comedy genre, always dominated by the catalog of John Hughes. But sadly, some outstanding films from that era are overlooked or even forgotten, and all teen movies from this period seem to be unfairly compared to Hughes’s work. One such semi-lost and under-appreciated gem is director Chris Columbus’s delightful 1987 teen comedy “Adventures in Babysitting.”
The movie opens in Chicago’s Oak Park suburb with the pretty, charming, 17-year-old girl next door Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue) preparing for a romantic evening with her dreamy boyfriend Mike Todwell (Bradley Whitford). Mike finally arrives, only to inform Chris that his younger sister is sick, and that he is unable to take her out. Devastated, Chris mopes in her bedroom, seeking comfort from her band geek friend Brenda (Penelope Ann Miller »

The Cabin In The Woods Movie Review
25 April 2012 9:26 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
The Cabin in the Woods has all of the strange theory behind it that you might expect from creative team Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, and for the most part manages to deliver a good time. What you wouldn’t expect is a straight, run of the mill horror film, and the fact that you both do, and don’t get exactly that shouldn’t be especially surprising.
The film, oddly enough, kicks off with a couple of government paper-pusher types going through the routine of their jobs, discussing weekend plans, and setting the stage for our look at a… lo and behold, cabin in the woods. From there we quickly jump to our standard, attractive young people who we know well will ultimately serve as fodder for some manner of machinations aimed at slicing and dicing… or whatever.
One side of the story progresses in typical fashion, but it »

Second Opinion - The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
23 April 2012 5:44 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Cabin in the Woods, 2012.
Directed by Drew Goddard.
Starring Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Jesse Williams, Anna Hutchison and Fran Kranz.
Synopsis:
Five friends get much more than they bargained for during a break at a remote cabin in the woods.
This Is A Spoiler-free Review.
There are some film trailers which give too much away, and there are some which do not entice you to find out more. The trailer for The Cabin in the Woods should not be watched by anyone wanting to see the film, and moreover the less you know, the better your enjoyment will be. The film itself, however, should be seen by everyone interested in horror.
The beauty of the film, co-written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, is in its successful attempts to deconstruct, parody and critique the genre whilst remaining scary and creepy in its own right. »

TV Review: Parks & Recreation 4.19 ‘Live Ammo’
22 April 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
After over a month off the air to make way for new Community, Parks & Rec is finally back on NBC for its final four episodes of the fourth season, and mercifully a conclusion to the ‘Knope We Can’ campaign arc that has dominated the season. Continuing the ‘Leslie Vs….’ trend, Leslie is up against a city councilman who threatens to cut the Parks budget, as well the ruthless Jennifer Barkley (guest star Katharine Hahn), Bobby Newport’s Campaign Manager, who does her best to make Leslie look like a pet killer on TV.
The Anne/Tom thing is still going on as the episode opens, despite them not really have any scenes together this week. Anne has fallen in love with Tom’s apartment and invites Leslie over to sleep on some soft sheets. I’m sure their relationship will hit a bump in the road »

Community, Season 3, Episode 16: “Virtual Systems Analysis”
Written by Matt Murray
Directed by Tristram Shapeero
Airs Thursdays at 8pm Et on NBC
Community seems to flourish when it brings Abed’s autistic tendencies to the forefront. They played a crucial factor in the recent “Pillows and Blankets” two-parter, but it’s episodes like “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas,” “Critical Film Studies” and “Intermediate Chaos Theory” that “Virtual Systems Analysis” calls to mind, wherein Abed’s antisocial tics inform not just the plot but the actual structure of the episodes. Whether the resulting episode is deeply introspective (as in “Film Studies” and “Systems Analysis”), appropriately cutesy (“Christmas”) or merely wildly entertaining (“Chaos Theory”), it’s hard to argue that these aren’t singular episodes, Not just for Community, but for any recent TV show.

Parks and Recreation Recap: Animal Adoption Fair
20 April 2012 7:48 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
At long last, we're back to Pawnee and the election that has riveted a nation. But first, let's check in on Tom and Ann, the relationship that has confused a nation. Ann gives us a clue as to why she's still with Tom as she walks Leslie through his apartment, which is tricked out with a constant cheese plate, a full shelf of coconut water, a thermostat always on 80 degrees, and blankets, blankets, blankets! Tom has what we call in the industry a "girl house." Next time we see Leslie, she's accosting Councilman Pillner (an always excellent Bradley Whitford, whom you should go see in Cabin in the Woods) about how he's planning on cutting the budget by 8 percent. She lays it on thick, attempting to scare him with a picture of a young girl who is surely in for a future of tribal tattoos and barfing in »

Is 'Parks and Recreation' Writing Itself Into a Corner With Its Election Storyline?
20 April 2012 6:38 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
"Parks and Recreation" returned from a month-long hiatus last night with an episode entitled "Live Ammo" -- a term introduced by guest star Bradley Whitford as a Pawnee city councillor trying to prepare Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) for the hard compromises of elected office. His advice is blunt: "Every decision you make is going to make a lot of people very unhappy." The casting of the former Josh Lyman -- and the use of some very "West Wing"-esque walk-and-talk in his first scene -- suggests that the writers are having fun with the show's plunge into the world of civic politics. But the relatively serious tone of Whiford's speech hinted at a slightly more serious agenda. This is, after all, probably the only sitcom in history whose writers have gone out of their way to cite "The Wire" as a major storytelling influence. There's more than mere artistic hubris in the reference. »

'Parks & Rec': Bradley Whitford And A Nod To 'The West Wing'
20 April 2012 1:15 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
After a brief hiatus, "Parks & Recreation" (Thu., 9:30 p.m. Et on NBC) returned to a new time slot and the continuation of Leslie Knope's political campaign. This episode came with a nod to "The West Wing" as Bradley Whitford guest-starred as a councilman. Lelsie was trying to convince him to not cut the budget of the parks department.
Things got complicated when he agreed and instead cut funding from a local animal shelter, effectively shutting it down. This was a political disaster, as it showed Leslie playing favorites with her own department at the expense of innocent animals.
This problem brought April out of her shell, and saw her lead an adoption program. Of course, she wound up with more animals than she started. One dog got adopted, but another woman dropped off two cats and ran off. In the end, a solution was reached that gave an edge to Leslie's opponent. »

Parks and Recreation Review: Pillner for Pawnee
19 April 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Parks and Recreation returned this week with "Live Ammo," and it was as warm and comfy as Tom Haverford’s apartment, where there’s always a soft blanket within reach and the temperature is 80 degrees, night and day.
The A story:
Leslie asks Councilman Pillner (guest star Bradley Whitford) to reverse an eight percent cut in the city parks dept. The money is coming from a county animal shelter, leading accusations that she might personally kill an adorable yellow lab puppy. She seems likes she’s about to learn a lesson about making hard budget decisions, until she comes up with a creative solution, even though it’s bad for her campaign. But it’s no big deal, because she’s going to demolish Bobby Newport a the debate next week (foreshadowing?)
I get that Pawnee is about as realistic as Springfield, and that the show is trying to make »

'Parks and Recreation' - 'Live Ammo': Let Leslie be Leslie
19 April 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Parks and Recreation" had all the ingredients in place to do a full-blown "West Wing" homage with its return from a five-week hiatus. The episode is called "Live Ammo," a reference to a line from Aaron Sorkin's late, great series. Bradley Whitford was a guest star. The "Parks" set features a couple of long hallways for walking and talking.
Thursday's (April 19) show did feature a couple nods to "The West Wing," including a walk-and-talk scene between Leslie and Whitford's character, a Pawnee councilman. But the show wisely didn't go full Sorkin, because really, would you believe it if Ben or Ron or April suddenly started talking really quickly?
Instead we got another in a line of consistently strong campaign stories, this one focusing on the conflict between Leslie's current parks department job and her electoral ambitions. It also made room for another excellent Ron-and-Chris teamup and a good B-story »

'Parks and Recreation': Watch deleted scenes from 'Live Ammo' -- Exclusive Video
19 April 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Election Day is approaching on Parks and Recreation, and Leslie Knope is working like a dog. Which is weird, because everyone knows that Leslie Knope Hates Dogs! Oh, wait—no, she doesn’t. That’s just what Bobby Newport’s campaign wants us to believe. In tonight’s episode, “Live Ammo,” Leslie (Amy Poehler) wound up in the doghouse after Councilman Pillner (guest star Bradley Whitford) heeded her suggestion not to cut the Parks Department’s budget; however, funding for the animal shelter was slashed instead.
For the record, we here at EW are big supporters of animal shelters. In fact, »

Nine TV Meta-Reunions We Want to See
19 April 2012 1:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last night's Suburgatory included a Clueless reunion of sorts when Alicia Silvertsone guest-starred as a love-interest for Jeremy "Elton" Sisto. Tonight's Parks and Recreation features Bradley Whitford, who doesn't share any scenes with Rob Lowe but still gets in a West Wing allusion or two. But why are we stopping there, television? There are plenty more duos we'd love to see reunite on the small screen. »

'Parks and Recreation': Amy Poehler talks 'Live Ammo' and Leslie's looming election
19 April 2012 11:59 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Leslie Knope has a whole lot to clear off her plate before "Parks and Recreation" closes out its season.
The perennially upbeat Leslie (Amy Poehler) is still trailing Bobby Newport (guest star Paul Rudd) in her campaign for the Pawnee City Council, and she has only a few weeks to make up the ground. She's also still doing her job at the parks department, and that puts her in a tough spot in Thursday's (April 19) episode.
She lobbies a councilman (guest star Bradley Whitford) to keep her department's budget intact, and he agrees. What feels like a win for Leslie, though, comes with some unintended consequences.
"This episode is about realizing she has to make tough choices," Poehler tells Zap2it via e-mail. "If she wants to win she has to start thinking bigger. This might mean not being able to take care of her friends the way she used to. »
