Best Movie Ever? "The Bad News Bears"
18 hours ago | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Guys, I swear I don’t care about baseball. I know I threw A League of Their Own at you last week, and I even made a case for America’s National Pastime as some sort of A&W-flavored throwback treat. But while we’re still lingering in May, I have one more curve ball to hurl: The Bad News Bears is a wicked, hilarious movie worth the vast space in our brains we reserve for nostalgia. And get this? It has a special gay appeal that I’ll get to in a bit.
The movie centers on a bunch of ragtag, nearly worthless kids who, with their cantankerous coach Morris Buttermaker (Walter Matthau), become competent baseball players with a chance to win a Little League title. I say it’s a worthy candidate for “Best Movie Ever” because it’s rowdy, real, and a sailormouthed examination of sporting pettiness. »

Chewing to the Stubs with Nailbiter: A Movie Review
29 May 2012 12:08 PM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by director Patrick Rea. Director: Patrick Rea. Writers: Patrick Rea, and Kendal Sinn. Cast: Joicie Appell, Emily Boresow and Jason Coffman Nailbiter is the latest indie film production to be developed by SenoReality Pictures. SenoReality is a production company created by director Patrick Rea and partner Ryan Jones. This film production company generally focuses on horror shorts with Nailbiter this company's second full feature. This film is this reviewer's first exposure to SenoReality's style of filmmaking and the wait has been worth it. Nailbiter is a production that, while indie, manages to develop a terrifying story. That story shows some influences from the later "Twilight Zone" (1985) television series, "Outer Limits" (1995) and perhaps even the more recent "X-Files" (1993). There is something bizarre and foreboding in that approaching tornado! And the Maguire family must seek shelter before it touches...

Dcc 2012: James Marsters Will Return To Narrate Jim Butcher Series
23 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Fans of James Marsters and Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files, rejoice! Confirmed at this past weekend’s Dallas Comic Con, James Marsters will indeed return to lend his voice for the audio book for Cold Days, the next book of the Dresden series coming out in this fall.
Marsters had narrated the audio books for the entire fourteen-book-and-counting Dresden series except for the latest one, Ghost Story. A fan asked Marsters at the Q&A session why and this was his response:
“Sorry, sorry, guys. When they first called me, I was doing a piece for French television for the series called Metal Hurlant [Chronicles] which is the comic book that gave rise to Heavy Metal, a really cool movie in the 80’s. Really dark, kinda a modern Twilight Zone.
So I was in Brussels filming that so they said that they would reschedule and when they called back a »

Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 1 of 5)
23 May 2012 12:39 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With the Academy Awards for the 2011 film year in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to take a look at one of the event’s most consistently fascinating categories: Best Supporting Actor. The most interesting story in the category this year isn’t who got nominated, it’s who didn’t. More specifically, Albert Brooks was completely robbed of a nomination for his performance as film producer turned lethal gangster Bernie Rose in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.
As much as I’d like to say I was surprised by this, considering both the quality of performance and Brooks’ slew of nominations from other critical circles, in light of the Academy’s history of overlooking outstanding supporting performances, I simply can’t.
Following is a chronological look at a number of performances richly deserving of a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination.
In some cases, the performances are in films »

Review of Manuli's lyrically impressive The Legend Of Kaspar Hauser
18 May 2012 1:48 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Picture a flying saucer emerging from the Twilight Zone. It lands on an island, but it's the year zero and the location seems imaginary. The place is filled with mesmerizing inhabitants who behave like exaggerated pop culture icons. The population: 7. This is The Legend of Kaspar Hauser - a microcosmos as viewed through a fantastically warped Warhol lens.

The British Independent Film Festival 2012
16 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The Empire in Leicester Square played host (alongside four other cinemas around the country) to the third annual British Independent Film Festival last weekend, and we were there to catch the world premiere of British high-octane horror Airborne on the Friday evening, as well as a trio of films screened the following day.
As the title suggests, the festival celebrates independent filmmaking and the choice of features this year represented an encouraging mix of genres (the full list of films can be found on the festival’s website.)
Boasting a number of familiar faces from popular genre films of the past (including ‘Last Crusade’ villain Julian Glover and a certain farm boy-turned Jedi Knight) Airborne follows a group of misfit passengers on a night flight to New York who get more than they bargained for during their stormy journey.
A number of stars from the film were in attendance on the Friday, »

Breaking News: Syfy Announces Summer Schedule, Including Series Finale of Eureka
15 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
The seemingly endless wait for the Syfy summer schedule is finally over! There is good news and bad, and one thing that is both good and bad. Let’s start with that: the Eureka Season Finale. We love Eureka, so every episode is good news; the fact that it’s a series finale, not so much. Mark your calendars – and have plenty of Kleenex in stock – for July 16 at 9/8c. Right after Comic-Con, which is early this year. We’ll see if that means a panel or not.
The good news: Warehouse 13 and Alphas return on July 23. The hmmm news is that Lost Girl will move to Fridays at 10 on July 20. Hey That’S Haven’S Spot. So Where The Heck Is Haven? Admittedly we had a head’s up that Haven would be pushed to fall when we learned that the DVDs for Season 2 weren’t being released until September but Argh. »

George Lindsey, TV's 'Goober Pyle,' Remembered At Funeral Service
13 May 2012 8:09 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nashville, Tenn. -- Actor George Lindsey was remembered Friday as the grinning Goober who made television viewers laugh for three decades on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw."
A public memorial service drew an estimated 400 people who paid last respects to Lindsey, 83, who died Sunday.
He was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry Rfd," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character, a mechanic, on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993. Reruns of those shows are still seen on TV.
Griffith did not attend, but sent a statement that was read by country music broadcaster Keith Bilbrey at the service at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
"George was a better joke teller than me, and I will say here that I `borrowed' jokes from George that he may have `borrowed' from Minnie Pearl," Griffith confessed. "George told me his »

Secret Circle season 2 not happening,it's sadly been canceled & more. Ok,it's official,CW has lost their freaking minds. According to a new report from TV Line,they have decided to cancel both Secret Circle and Ringer,which were two great shows, Worst of all, they decided to renew that horrible "Hart of Dixie" show for a 2nd season,Wtf? We have officially entered the Twilight Zone of TV ladies and gentlemen. Don't ever get to attached to a TV show anymore. Just enjoy it while it's on,because you never know what these crazy TV executives are up to. Don't get me wrong. I get it. It's a business,but I can't imagine "Hart of Dixie" bringing in higher ratings than Secret Circle and Ringer. It just seems so insane to me,but hey,maybe they know something I don't. In fact,that's highly probable. This is just a phenomena I'll never understand, »

Film Review: Brit Marling Speaks Volumes in ‘Sound of My Voice’
11 May 2012 4:26 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Fresh off her Spirit Award nominated film “Another Earth,” the up-and-coming filmmaker Brit Marling again writes and stars in “Sound of My Voice,” portraying another mysterious and mood-inducing character. The future of humanity is the basis for this simple but vivid narrative.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
This is not as good as “Another Earth,” but that’s not to say it isn’t worth experiencing. It has the feel of a chilling “Twilight Zone” episode, establishing a certain aura about Marling’s character, then unraveling her environment by exposing elements that may or may not pertain to the overall thesis. This film is more about emotion, trust and whether Maggie’s story is to be believed, and leaves those themes hanging in the air at the conclusion, to ponder within our own inherent morality.
Brit Marling is a woman named Maggie, and she is holed up in a nondescript suburban tract home. »

Stephen King's 'The Reach' & Ray Bradbury's 'From The Dust Returned' Headed To The Big Screen
11 May 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Adapting books into films is big business for studios, and this week two of the authors who are considered the cream of the genre crop will be seeing their written work turned into full features on the silver screen.
First, author Stephen King –- who is certainly no stranger to seeing his books turned into films –- is set to have his story “The Reach” turned into a feature by British financer Park Entertainment, who will be producing alongside DownEast Village Productions. With the story that King once said he would "most like to be remembered for after his death," the banners are shopping the rights around on the market at Marche du Film in Cannes. With an excepted budget reportedly in the $12 million-$14 million range, the story's title is in reference to a 1.5-mile stretch of water between Goat Island and the coastline of King’s precious home state of Maine. »

“Brave New World, Part 1” Air Date: 5/4/2012
A black gentleman buys a coffee at a stand with his Sprint phone, in a blatant example of product placement. After riding the escalator down, and out of the building, he starts to smoke, turn red, and then crumples to the ground in a heap. Others around him also begin to spontaneously combust when, in a very Twilight Zone-y way, a woman yells for everybody to stop moving. “It only happens if you move!” Cue the quirky Fringe music and the first part of a massive (and dynamic) two parter to end Fringe’s penultimate fourth season has begun.
Peter and Olivia are in bed, shopping for homes around Boston in the classified’s (old school), looking at places with a dog run or, dare to dream, a nursery. This tickles Peter beyond belief, but then the phone rings and they’re on the case. »

Comedian George Lindsey Dies
6 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Character actor George Lindsey has died at the age of 83.
The comedian passed away in Nashville, Tennessee early on Sunday after battling a brief illness.
Lindsey shot to fame as the slow-witted Goober Beasley on U.S. TV sitcom The Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s. His character was soon renamed Goober Pyle and he became known for his hilariously bad impression of Cary Grant and his outrageous Goober Dance, keeping up the antics for the comedy's successor Mayberry R.F.D., which ran until 1971.
He went on to portray the same type of character for country music variety show Hee Haw, on which he starred until its cancellation in 1993.
Lindsey also landed roles on other small screen projects, including CHiPs, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, M*A*S*H, Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, while he used his vocal talent on animated Disney films like The Aristocats and Robin Hood.
Paying tribute to his old castmate, Andy Griffith says, "George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago... I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, 'I love you.' That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. 'I love you.'" »

Nashville, Tenn. — George Lindsey, who made a TV career as a grinning service station attendant named Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Hee Haw," has died. He was 83.
The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness.
Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry Rfd," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.

He joined "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer's cousin, replaced him.
"At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV," Lindsey once told an interviewer. »
