New on DVD: Revolutionaries, characters, cops and more

7 July 2009 3:12 PM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

L'amour fou against the barricades, fiction coming to life and TV's funniest gay cop are among the highlights of this week's new DVDs.

Read on for more!

One of the sleeper hits of the 2008 gay film festival circuit (and not 2007, despite what the DVD cover says) was Ma Saison Super 8 (My Super 8 Season), a rare film that puts the tumultuous events of Paris in May 1968 into a queer context.

A brash and openly gay young student fights to have his issues included in the leftist upheaval while he carries on a passionate but doomed romance with a conflicted factory worker. It's a movie that reminds us of all the gay men who were silenced during history's great moments of progressive thought. (Still waiting for the Bayard Rustin biopic.)

Lovely by Surprise matches its fictional-characters-come-to-life plot with a cast of terrific character actors, including gay thespians Austin Pendleton (Oz, What's Up,

Shrink

26 June 2009 4:59 AM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

Shrink

Directed by: Jonas Pate

Cast: Kevin Spacey, Mark Webber, Keke Palmer, Dallas Roberts

Running Time: 1 hr 50 mins

Rating: R

Release June 26, 2009

Plot: When a nationally recognized celebrity psychiatrist finds he’s unable to deal with his own demons, he dives into a spiral of self-medication that nearly closets his inner torment completely. Once he encounters others in similarly dire straights, he’s awakened to a whole world removed from his own weed-addled existence. This is a story about what happens when rocky paths converge to reveal there may be promising at the end of a winding road.

Who’s It For? Fans of self-help books who secretly despise the rehearsed, over-generalized advice their authors sling at them. Those who enjoy Spacey’s occasional attempts to portray middle-aged intellectuals with horridly dank back-stories. Anyone who listens to sad-sack music (Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Pj Harvey) when they are decidedly sad—Just to enhance the experience.

Pell James--The Hollywood Interview

25 June 2009 10:23 AM, PDT | From The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news

Actress Pell James

Pell James Takes A Hot Rod To The Dark Side In Surveillance

By

Alex Simon

Virginia native Pell James hit the ground running following graduation from Nyu’s drama school in 1999, mixing TV and stage work, then landing her first high-profile part in 2005’s The King, co-starring with Gael Garcia Bernal and William Hurt. Since then, James also made impressive turns in Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers and David Fincher’s Zodiac, in one of the film’s most unsettling scenes, as one of the notorious Bay area killer’s victims.

Pell James shines in an entirely new light as Bobbi, a drug-addicted drifter who comes face-to-face with evil incarnate in Jennifer Lynch’s Surveillance, a smashingly original thriller hitting theaters June 26 from Magnet Releasing. She also appears in Shrink, a tableaux-like satire of life in L.A., starring Kevin Spacey, which arrives from Lions Gate on

AMC crosses 'Rubicon'

24 June 2009 2:45 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

  AMC has given a greenlight to "Rubicon," a new conspiracy thriller series. The hour-long, 12-episode drama marks the third original series order from AMC. The first two, "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad," have done pretty well for themselves. Created by Jason Horwitch ("Medical Investigation"), "Rubicon" focuses on an analyst for a New York City think tank who stumbles upon a clue that opens the door to some sort of vast, unfolding global conspiracy.  "Rubicon" stars James Badge Dale ("24") and the supporting cast features Lili Taylor, Dallas Roberts, Jessica Collins, Arliss Howard and Miranda Richardson.

'Shrink' Trailer Debuts

3 June 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

The trailer for the upcoming drama Shrink, starring Kevin Spacey, has arrived online. Click on the Trailer tab above to watch it right here.

Jonas Pate's Shrink is a striking, fast-paced exposé of the "other" Hollywood, featuring folks living outside their comfort zone and the people who put them there. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) is a psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a once-famous actress (Saffron Burrows), an insecure young writer (Mark Webber), and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent (Dallas Roberts).

Henry is not in a good place, however. He has been asked to take his first pro bono case, a troubled teenage girl from a neighborhood far from the Hollywood hills. Considering his present state of mind, is he ready for the real-life troubles of a young woman who loves the world of movies he has become so jaded by?

At its core, Shrink is a study of control

Kevin Spacey-Starring 'Shrink' Gets Trailer

2 June 2009 8:30 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

What if the one person who is counted by others to hold them together is barely holding it together himself? In a brand new trailer of "Shrink" outed via Apple, Henry Carter portrayed by Academy Award-winning Kevin Spacey is introduced as the sought-after Hollywood psychiatrist, whose clients include a once-famous actress, an insecure young writer and a comically obsessive-compulsive superagent.

But, having a list of A-list clients doesn't mean that he is in a good place. Unable to cope with a recent personal tragedy, he turns into a pothead with no concern for his appearance. As a sense of inability to help his patients creeps into his mind, he is asked to take on his first pro-bono case. Now, he has to deal with the real-life troubles of a troubled teenage girl who loves the world of movies he has become so jaded by.

Premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival,

Exclusive: 'Shrink' Poster Premiere!

1 June 2009 1:45 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Click image below to view full poster

Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for Shrink, which premiered at this past Sundance Film Festival to some pretty great buzz. Starring Kevin Spacey, Saffron Burrows, Keke Palmer, Mark Webber, Dallas Roberts and Robin Williams, Shrink follows "a psychiatrist (Spacey) whose boutique L.A. office, A-list clientele and best-selling pop psychology books form a thin layer of respectability over his ruined personal life, insurmountable grief, serious pot problem and a host of other crises," so says James Rocchi, who covered the film for Cinematical during Sundance and interviewed its star, Mr. Kevin Spacey.

Reminiscent of his character from American Beauty, Spacey (as the celebrity shrink-turned-pothead) delivers a performance here that's not to be missed, and the supporting cast takes what could've been another film about annoying egotistical Hollywood types from Los Angeles and turns it into one that's funny, serious, sweet, sincere and a little bit sideways.

Exclusive Images from Tell-Tale Red Carpet and Q&A

14 May 2009 2:26 AM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

The Tribeca Film Festival is as much a staple of New York City as the buildings lining its streets or the cab drivers flipping you off. We are inundated with countless new projects from across the planet, all packed into a few days. This year's lineup didn't leave much room for our lovely horror, but there were some moments to be had! Tell-Tale was one of them. Before the film screened, director Michael Cuesta took the stage, thanked us all for coming, and then took a picture of us to send to producer Ridley Scott, who regrettably could not be there. We all said "Cheeeeeeese!" and away we went.

"Terry (Josh Lucas) is a struggling single father, abandoned by his wife years earlier, who prides himself on taking good care of his young daughter. His life is finally looking up after he recently received a successful heart transplant, and he
