'Best Dundies Ever!' TVLine Honors The Office With 24 Michael Scott-Approved Awards (Day 3)
15 May 2013 1:22 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Hold me closer, tiny Dundie: The Office‘s series finale is now just one day away (airing Thursday at 9/8c on NBC). But thankfully, my personal Dunder Mifflin-themed kudos-fest is just getting underway, with two more fun-filled posts to go.

Today’s award-ing walk down memory lane features a Jim and Dwight showdown, the return of Agent Michael Scarn, a Kelly Kapoor faux pas and more disdain of Toby Flenderson (who I’m still convinced is the Scanton Strangler). Has your favorite Office gem earned a nod yet? »

Video Game Review: ‘Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall’ is a Quality Jungle Gym
8 May 2013 9:26 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I’m of the mind that the most enjoyable video games are often times, in a way, toys. “Grand Theft Auto”, “Far Cry 3”, “Minecraft”, “Red Faction: Guerrilla”, and even the best sports games like “NBA 2K13” and older “Ncaa Football” titles all contain features or elements of gameplay that tickle the tinkering part of a player’s imagination. Sure, you can play through “GTA”’s plot without causing mayhem, wearing a funny outfit, or soliciting the services of a digital lady of the evening, but where’s the fun in that? You can take out an enemy outpost with an Ak-47 in “Far Cry 3”, but isn’t it a bit more…entertaining, to lure a hungry tiger into the base for some sweet, sweet, pirate meat? Hell, I still haven’t made it past the third mission in “Red Faction: Guerrilla” thanks to incredibly awesome and distracting destruction physics. »

Helen Mirren was crowned queen of the London stage at the Olivier Awards Sunday, while compelling, canine-titled teen drama The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time emerged as best in show with seven trophies.
Mirren, 67, was a popular and expected best actress choice for her regal yet vulnerable Queen Elizabeth II in “The Audience,” Peter Morgan’s behind-palace-doors drama about the relationship between Britain’s queen and its prime ministers.
The actress, who won an Academy Award in 2007 for playing Britain’s monarch in The Queen, quipped that it was 87-year-old Elizabeth who deserved an award, “for the »

Dame Helen Reigns At Olivier Awards
29 April 2013 3:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' has swept the board at this year's Olivier Awards, but Dame Helen Mirren was crowned the Queen of British theatre for another regal performance.
The star, who played Queen Elizabeth II in 'The Audience', said her win was down to the real-life popularity of the monarch who she said had put in the "most consistent and committed performance of the twentieth century and probably the twenty-first".
Speaking backstage, Dame Helen said winning did not mean she was "the best actor".
The actress, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of The Queen in the 2006 film, said: "It really doesn't mean that, because there are so many incredible performances out there, including many that weren't even nominated. I was making a joke about the Queen winning, but it is a reflection of the kind of respect the Queen is held in."

Play about maths genius equals Matilda's record, as Helen Mirren has first win and Top Hat is named best musical
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time dominated the UK's most prestigious theatre awards on Sunday night, equalling the record by picking up seven Oliviers, including best actor for its star, Luke Treadaway. The 28-year-old, who gives an astonishing performance as 15-year-old maths genius Christopher Boone, beat off heavyweight competition in the shape of Rupert Everett, James McAvoy, Mark Rylance and Rafe Spall to pick up the prize at the Royal Opera House ceremony.
The awards, now in their 37th year, also saw Helen Mirren win her first Olivier, for her performance as the Queen in The Audience. The musical honours were shared by Top Hat and Sweeney Todd, which won three apiece.
Accepting her award, Mirren said she thought the Queen would be thrilled and deserved an »

TV Review: The Office 9.20, “Paper Airplane”
28 April 2013 3:23 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars
“Paper Airplane” was utterly depressing. Aside from maybe two or three glimpses of what could possibly be construed as bright spots among a vast fog of indiscernible mediocrity, the episode reeked of apathy from both sides of the screen. From the completely insipid tournament to the frustratingly irrelevant acting gig to the stark horror of Jim and Pam’s marriage, “Paper Airplane” is an episode of The Office that will help me cheer when the series is finally laid to rest on May 16th.
The paper airplane tournament, which should have been restrained to a better cold open, became the stage upon which an entire plot surrounding Angela – the queen of all tired and unsympathetic characters – was played out. Among the uninspired gags like Toby apologizing for getting hit in the eye by an airplane and Kevin not being able to fold his own, viewers watched »

'Downton Abbey' gets the musical treatment -- Video

After the series 3 finale of Downton Abbey left more than one nation in tears, and with U.S. audiences having to wait what seems like an eternity for season 4 to start, there’s a creative choice by some well-known Downton fans putting a bright spot on the Crawleys’ world and tiding us over until next winter — a Downton musical!
In the parody video below, filmed at the legendary Studio 54 in New York, actor and comedian Colin Andrew Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) plays Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes (billed in the video as Julian Alexander Kitchner-Fellowes, Baron Fellowes of »

Reader Spotlight: Joey Moser

We're getting to know the Film Experience community. Today we're talking to Joey from Pittsburgh. He's currently performing in Godspell on stage. If you're in Pittsburgh there's two more shows this weekend.
When did you start reading The Film Experience?
Around the time that Far From Heaven was released in theaters. I was realizing that Julianne Moore was my favorite actress, so your blog was mecca when I was in college. I love the site because it doesn't just celebrate movies, but it helped me realize that movies can be bad with something great in them (and vice versa).
What's your earliest movie memory?
Joey: The earliest memory I have is when my Dad took me to go see Beauty and the Beast. I remember playing around outside, and he asked if I wanted to go. I didn't actually answer his question, because I got so excited and just got »

How film and musical theatre formed a lucrative bond | Phil Hoad
29 January 2013 7:03 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
It has been one of the most prolific decades for the film musical since the 1960s – but only the global brands get their moment in the spotlight
Ever since Les Misérables commenced its ground assault on the Oscars last autumn, director Tom Hooper has taken every opportunity to flaunt extreme courage in the line of duty by Hugh Jackman and co, who sung their takes live. Mostly, the critics seem won over by the brinksmanship. Present in every larynx-crack, heaving gulp and passion-flushed cheek, Hooper's authenticity fetishism – peering longingly in the direction of Les Mis's stage origins – is also a reminder of how chummy film and musical theatre have become in the last few years.
It has been one of the most prolific decades for the film musical since the golden-age studio extravaganzas fizzled out in the 1960s. But strictly on limited terms. Only the biggest, global, Broadway-and-beyond brands get »
