Ron Howard: 50 Years in Film
7.15pm, TCM
The director Ron Howard got his first break in Hollywood at the age of four, starring against Yul Brynner in The Journey before graduating to The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days. It all prepared him for an adult life as a filmmaker. He talks about each of his films eloquently here, and among the stinkers (he describes Far and Away as "misunderstood") Howard also predicted reality television with Ed TV, and brilliantly captured Richard Nixon's exile and hubris with Frost/Nixon. A good insight into the director's craft.
Into That Good Night
7.30pm, Channel 4
The disparate group interviewed for this doc are united by something so fundamental that it overrides their differences: they're all going to die. This statement could, of course,

5. Edward Scissorhands (1990): I would love to see how something like Edward Scissorhands would go over in today’s society. Clearly, if the school he’d be attending observed any of today’s weapon policies, he’d be expelled instantly and have at least 4 interviews on news programs and talk shows before the week was over about how the institution is “denying his fundamental right to express himself.” Edward Scissorhands reminds me a lot of many of the movies that came out in the late 80s, up until 1990. Lots of teen angst with a dash of fantasy – lots

TV Land is creating original sitcoms now

Everybody has a love/hate relationship with TV Land these days. We love that they still show sitcoms like The Andy Griffith Show and we like the idea of TV Land, but we also hate that movies and reality shows seem to be taking over the network.
But now the network has announced that they are actually going to be creating their own sitcoms. The first two are Retired at 35, which is about a businessman who visits his parents' Florida retirement home and decides to stay, and the second is from Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) and Frasier writer Suzanne Martin and called Hot in Cleveland. It centers around a group of Los Angeles women who move to Cleveland.
Hey, look, I'm all for any type of programming on TV Land that doesn't involve a-hole high school reunion members yelling at each other or cougars in a hot tub.

Play The Game
Directed by: Marc Fienberg
Cast: Andy Griffith, Paul Campbell, Marla Sokoloff, Liz Sheridan
Running Time: 1 hr, 45 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: August 28, 2009
Plot: The story of a grandfather whose allegiance to his deceased wife trumps his need to “play the field.” When his witty-remark-a-second grandson pays him a visit, he opens his eyes to the plethora of opportunities for him to score. With the guidance of the young Casanova, Grandpa Joe learns how to “play the game.” It’s only when David (Campbell) meets Julie (Sokoloff) that he finds there’s more to the “game” than the rules he’s passed on to his granddad.
Who’s It For? Fans of films that hold true to the strict rules of the predictable sit-com format. This film is a by-the-book interpretation of how lessons are learned by those who think they’ve already figured themselves out.

It's official: Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress best-known for playing Gwen Stacy in "Spider-Man 3" and for starring in the worst M. Night Shyamalan films, will join the cast of "Twilight" starting with the third film "Eclipse" (scheduled for release in 2010). She'll take on the role of Victoria, the nomadic vampire who is trying to kill Bella and whose role beefs up significantly in the third film.
Howard is something of Hollywood royalty, as her father, Ron Howard, has been in the business for decades. He broke in as a child star on "The Andy Griffith Show," graduated to a role on "Happy Days" and has since become one of the most prolific and varied directors in film, creating modern classics like "Apollo 13," "Willow" and "Cinderella Man." (He is also responsible for "The Da Vinci Code," but it's hard to hold that against him considering he brought "Arrested Development

He may have made his first splash as adorable Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show, but the first and last love of Ron Howard's life is making movies, and you can expect him to be doing it until the very end.
"I want to do this until I drop," he tells Aarp The Magazine in the July/August issue. "When John Huston was directing his last movie, he was in a wheelchair and on oxygen. That's my idea of a good goal."
The 55-year-old director of Angels & Demons, who says he fell in love with movies when he saw 1967's The Graduate,
