What to Rent: New DVDs This Week
14 May 2013 3:05 AM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Cloud Atlas Tom Tykwer teams with Andy and Lana Wachowski to take on the epic task of adapting David Mitchell's sweeping novel that occurs in different times and places. The filmmakers enlist a crew of A-list actors, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Jim Broadbent, to play several versions (and races) of themselves. Their interweaving stories prove how the present can be affected deeply by the past, and despite its cast and how visually impressive it is, Cloud Atlas is a letdown. The DVD comes with the featurette, "A Film Like No Other." 68% A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwartzman collaborate with writer/director Roman Coppola for this self-absorbed turkey of a film.

Sundance London 2013 – A.C.O.D. Review
10 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
A fantastic cast of talented comic and character actors have assembled for A.C.O.D. (Adult Children of Divorce), but unfortunately that only makes its failures all the more disappointing. Adam Scott, who’s reliably great each week on TV’s Parks and Recreation, leads the cast as Carter, a man still caught between his warring parents years after their messy divorce. Alongside him are other similarly impressive sitcom talents; Amy Poehler (also from Parks & Rec) plays his father’s third and current spouse, Clark Duke (The Office) is his younger brother, and Jane Lynch (Glee) is the woman he believes was his therapist as a child. Then there’s Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Hara as his estranged parents, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as his long-term girlfriend, and even Jessica Alba has a small role. Quite how the film manages to squander such talent is an achievement in itself.

This year, at the Grauman’s Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, Entertainment Weekly and the American Cinematheque teamed up for the inaugural CapeTown Film Festival, and hopefully this festival is here to stay. The past week, I’ve gone to a few of the screenings, joining the hordes of fanboys and girls cheering for their favorite picture(s).
The lineup has been stellar, featuring classics both old and new. On Tuesday, EW staged an early screening of Iron Man 3 before the U.S. premiere date of May 3rd, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige in attendance. The next day was Edgar Wright Day, with Shaun Of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World being shown, with Edgar Wright joined by stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brandon Routh, Satya Bhabha, and Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley. On Thursday, John Carpenter’s The Thing terrified the sold out crowd with a 35 mm print, »

Sundance London – A.C.O.D. Review: Solid Divorce Dramedy Should Push Harder
1 May 2013 10:28 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
As a fellow A.C.O.D. (that’s an acronym for “Adult Child of Divorce”), the idea of a film trying to probe deep into diffuse effects of divorce is an enticing one. If director Stuart Zicherman doesn’t seem quite sure where to run with the ball, he at least delivers enough moments of honesty and hilarity to make the pic work.
Carter (Adam Scott) begins the tale by explaining that his parents Hugh and Melissa (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Hara) decided to get divorced on his 9th birthday in the middle of a blazing row. Ever since, Carter has kept them at an arm’s length, until his brother Trey (Clark Duke) declares that he is getting married to his new girlfriend.
With the prospect of his parents having to share the same floor space for a night, this causes Carter to re-examine how he »

'Smashed' director James Ponsoldt to direct Hillary Clinton biopic
30 April 2013 2:57 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
James Ponsoldt is attached to direct a biopic of Hillary Clinton.
Ponsoldt, who directed Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Aaron Paul in last year's Smashed, has been "pencilled in" to direct Rodham, according to The Wrap.
Penned by Young Il Kim, the biopic will focus on rising star Hillary Rodham and her early career as a young attorney on the House Judiciary Committee, during the Watergate scandal.
According to a synopsis, her "unresolved feelings for Bill Clinton, a former boyfriend who now teaches law in Arkansas" will also be central to the story.
Producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen are reportedly keen to attach a leading actress before taking the project out to potential investors.
Ponsoldt's most recent film The Spectacular Now, which reunited him with Winstead, played at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

Hillary Clinton Movie Finds Hot Director
29 April 2013 1:18 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
James Ponsoldt has a knack for getting the best out of Hollywood's most talented young actresses, and he could turn the trick again with "Rodham." According to TheWrap, Ponsoldt -- who directed "Smashed" and the upcoming "The Spectacular Now" -- has signed on to make a new biopic about Hillary Clinton.
First announced in January, "Rodham" focuses on Clinton's early career as a young attorney on the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate scandal. (The House Judiciary Committee was responsible for impeaching President Richard Nixon.) Young Il Kim wrote the script for "Rodham," and described the film to Politico as a "journey."
"[She was] torn between her personal desires and her professional ambition -- both literally pulled her thousands of miles apart, because Bill did not want to leave Arkansas, and she did not want to leave Washington, D.C.," Kim said about that time in Hillary's life.
As mentioned, Ponsoldt has »

Spectacular Now Director Up For Hillary Rodham Clinton Biopic
29 April 2013 1:09 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Before last December, Young Il Kim was an economist and aspiring screenwriter. But with the release of the 2012 Black List, which compiles the most buzzed about unproduced screenplays circulating Hollywood, Kim became a writer to watch thanks to his Hillary Rodham Clinton biopic spec script Rodham. For many emerging talents, getting on to the Black List is a step toward getting your movie made. And it Kim's goal is getting closer to fruition as Rodham's producers have secured a noteworthy director for the project. The Wrap reveals James Ponsoldt has been attached to helm. The indie director first earned buzz in 2012 with the Mary Elizabeth Winstead-fronted drama Smashed. Then, at 2013's Sundance and SXSW he awed critics with his follow-up The Spectacular Now. (Notably, the latter's screenplay was on the Black List in 2009.) Between the buzz around Kim's script and the acclaim Ponsoldt has already earned, this seems »
10 non-blockbuster films we’re looking forward to this summer
29 April 2013 4:43 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Octavia Spencer in Fruitvale Station
The summer season has, over the past few decades, become synonymous with movie blockbuster season, as studios have found the months of May to August to contain the most profitable release dates for big-budget tentpole features, leading to the summer of recent years being filled with superhero films, big budget CGI features, and other tentpole movies that draw in huge crowds. This year is no different, as Marvel’s Iron Man 3 is set to kick off the summer movie season as May rolls around. However, this doesn’t mean non-blockbuster features don’t make their way to theatres during this time, and for those looking for smaller features, there are plenty of viewing options. Here are ten of our most anticipated non-blockbuster features set to be released over the next few months.
Author’s note: All films were selected based on their release date in American theatres. »

Sundance London 2013 Review - A.C.O.D (2013)
28 April 2013 5:57 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
A.C.O.D, 2013
Directed by Stu Zicherman
Written by Stu Zicherman and Ben Karlin
Starring Adam Scott, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O'Hara, Clark Duke, Amy Poehler, Jessica Alba and Jane Lynch
Synopsis:
A grown man is still caught in the crossfire of his parents 15 year divorce. He discovers he was unknowingly part of a study on divorced children and is enlisted in a follow-up years later, which wreaks new havoc on his family.
Looking at the cast list for A.C.O.D led me to believe that we were in for a fun time. However the biggest problem with the movie is that I'm not sure whether it was trying to be a comedy movie. Because if it was, then it's failed miserably.
A.C.O.D stands for Adult Child of Divorce and aside from a terrible title, the movie just isn't funny enough. It »

Sundance London 2013 – Part Five: ‘Sleepwalk with Me’ is sleeper gem of the festival
27 April 2013 4:45 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Some of this year’s Sundance comedy-dramas have had their narratives plucked from the wellspring of their director’s personal experience, though that should never excuse any shortcomings. Yesterday, I wrote a negative review of Francesca Gregorini’s treatment of motherhood in Emanuel and the Truth about Fishes. My primary beef was less with the inherent trauma at the centre of the story, and more to do with the formal missteps that, regrettably, had a few critics in my screening snickering quietly to themselves. Their mockery was, again, not directed at the content but its aesthetic delivery, deemed preposterous once the third act indulged in a questionable surrealistic abandon.
Stand-up comedians can rarely be accused of surrendering to melodramatic impulses of the like seen in Gregorini’s feature. Us comic Mike Birbiglia’s Sleepwalk with Me leaps into fantastical dream sequences that illustrate his subconscious fears of marriage and fatherhood, »

Sundance London: A.C.O.D. Review
27 April 2013 10:25 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Stu Zicherman.
Starring: Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O’Hara, Amy Poehler, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clark Duke, Jessica Alba.
Running Time: 95 minutes.
Synopsis: Carter (Adam Scott) is a well-adjusted Adult Child of Divorce, or so he thinks. When he discovers he was part of a divorce study as a child, it wreaks havoc on his family and forces him to face his chaotic past.
A.C.O.D. has a comic cast to die for, a thoroughly decent script which is elevated by the top drawer performances, and a series of farcical scenarios played out in a textbook manner which raise plenty of chuckles. So why doesn’t it entirely work?
Carter is doing alright. He’s got a great job running a restaurant, a funny, successful girlfriend, Lauren (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and despite his traumatic upbringing is the most emotionally stable he’s ever been. But when his younger »

If you’re a fan, friend, or Evil Ex of Ramona Flowers, it’s a good time to make a Pilgrimage to Hollywood.
