Director, producer, writer and former DGA president Jack Shea, died yesterday of complications from Alzheimer’s in Tarzana, according to his wife Patt Shea. He was 84.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters Who Deserve A 'One-Shot'
25 April 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has slowly built out its world through a series of short films (called "Marvel One-Shots") found on the Blu-rays and DVDs of its feature-length films. Films like "Item 47" and "The Consultant" have expanded the mythos of Phil Coulson and showed the fallout of New York City's Chitauri invasion. Now it appears as if supporting characters from those feature films, like "Captain America: The First Avenger's" Peggy Carter, will be the focus of Phase Two's "One-Shots."
This information comes from actress Hayley Atwell, who revealed that there was more Peggy Carter in store outside of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito seemingly confirmed the rumor, meaning that future one-shots could feature characters other than Jasper Sitwell and Phil Coulson. Any McU character is up for grabs! With that in mind, here are a few Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters that »

Is it that time already? Time for the last Duck Dynasty recap of the season? Afraid so, friends. But hey, look here, Jack, the Robertsons are getting an early start on their hiatus, spending the one-hour finale taking a family trip to Hawaii. It follows in the tradition of other fine sitcoms — can we all agree at this point that Duck Dynasty is a sitcom? — that have had Hawaii episodes, such as The Brady Bunch, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Growing Pains, Full House and Saved by the Bell. But while this episode ends up in Hawaii, it [...]

The Almost Man | Review
17 April 2013 10:45 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Growing Pains: Lund’s Debut a Gem of Behavioral Regression
The long hard road to growing up and accepting responsibility takes the center stage in Martin Lund’s simply and astutely observed tale about one thirty five year-old man’s coming of age episode, The Almost Man. While certainly not unfamiliar in scope, Lund delivers a charmingly realistic portrait of the dogged, insistent clamp many of us try to retain on those carefree days of young adulthood with a film unhampered by requisite hypersexualization and stylized vulgar antics to meet the entertainment quota of the lowest common denominator.
Goofy, playful, and seemingly never serious, Henrik (Henrik Rafelson) currently enjoys a carefree life alongside his live-in girlfriend, Tone (Janne Heltberg Haarseth). They have just moved into a new apartment meant to foster the next, more adult chapter of their life together, and Henrik has landed a new marketing position. While everything seems peachy, »

Why Paula Patton Isn't My Wife: A Soul-Searching Introspective
15 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
There's nothing to really do when waiting for a train in a subway station. There isn't any cell phone service, and even if you're with friends, the odds that they are ten-minutes-of-straight-conversation-level interesting are sadly low. You might say that being on a subway platform makes for our only real, actual chance to take a break from staring at glowing rectangles all day and "Disconnect." So you people-watch, and sometimes, you notice the ads on the wall — some of which don't even have impromptu sharpie penises drawn on them.
For the last six months, almost every New York City subway station has been graced with an ad for Remy Martin champagne that features actress Paula Patton and her husband, k.d. lang hilarious comedic actor Alan Thicke's significantly less talented child singer Robin Thicke. They are on the roof of the U.S. Bank Tower in downtown Los Angeles and drinking Remy Martin champagne, »

Annette Funciello dies: Mouseketeer, pop star and actress dead at 70
8 April 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Annette Funicello has passed away at the age of 70. The former Mouseketeer's family confirms to "Extra" that Funicello died after being in a coma in a Bakersfield hospital. The family says the coma was a complication of multiple sclerosis.
It is unclear how long Funicello was in a coma. She announced her Ms diagnosis in 1992 at the age of 50. Over the years, the disease took away Funicello's ability to walk, putting her on a walking cane and eventually confining her to a wheelchair. She eventually lost the ability to talk as well.
Funicello joined the original "Mickey Mouse Club" at the age of twelve and quickly became one of the most well known Mouseketeers. She translated her popularity into a pop music and film career, eventually starring alongside Frankie Avalon in many mid-1960's era "Beach Party" genre films, including "Beach Blanket Bingo, "Pajama Party," and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. »

Annette Funicello, who first gained fame as a 12-year-old Mousekeeter on Disney’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s and then starred opposite Frankie Avalon in a series of musical beach party films of the early 1960s, has died. She was 70.
Funicello was taken off life support on Monday morning at a hospital in Bakersfield, Calif. She’d battled multiple sclerosis since 1987, first going public with the diagnosis in 1992.
“Annette was and always will be a cherished member of the Disney family, synonymous with the word Mousketeer, and a true Disney Legend,” said Disney chairman-ceo Robert Iger. “She will forever hold a place in our hearts as one of Walt Disney’s brightest stars, delighting an entire generation of baby boomers with her jubilant personality and endless talent. Annette was well known for being as beautiful inside as she was on the outside, and she faced her physical challenges with dignity, »

New Avengers Deleted Scenes Reveal More Cap Heroism And Entire Lost Storylines
4 April 2013 12:07 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Remember how a waitress in a single shot of The Avengers looked awfully familiar, and then we discovered she played Chrissy on Growing Pains as a child? We then wondered why she had wound up in the film in such a small part, only to hear that she'd had a bigger role before getting edited down in the final cut. Now, thanks to the wonders of deleted scenes and the new Marvel Phase One box set, we can see how her character's arc would have gone had it made the final cut. In fact, that scene is just one of the many brand-new ones revealed on the box set, which has also given us our first look behind the scenes of Thor: The Dark World and shown off some concept art from even more future Marvel films. Thanks to MTV you can watch more of the deleted scenes below, all »
Everything You Need to Know About This Year’s Comedy Pilots
2 April 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Pilots! It's that time of year again, when we gaze into the crystal ball — and the massive pile of scripts — and theorize about what will make it to air in the 2013–14 season. Today, we're focusing on comedies (dramas tomorrow, and our top picks on Thursday), and we've broken them down into four major trends that define this year's potential shows. Love is in the air! Well, love, nineties stars, and writers with past hits.I Love the NinetiesPerhaps network executives are hoping to recapture the ratings of the nineties, because TV stars from that decade are all over this year's comedy pilots. The biggest, by a mile, is Michael J. Fox (Spin City), who's starring in a still-untitled NBC series based loosely on his own life. Mr. Seaver, a.k.a. Alan Thicke of Growing Pains, is onboard to play the boss on ABC's office-set Bad Management, which also stars »

Terrifying: College Aims To 'Create Thousands' Of Anti-Gay Kirk Camerons
25 March 2013 1:26 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
An evangelical university famous for its conservative ideology is partnering up with a similarly controversial activist to create a new religious film.
Liberty University, founded in 1971 by televangelist Jerry Falwell, will team with former child star-turned-Christian activist Kirk Cameron to produce the 90-minute film, slated for release later this year. Cameron said the film will answer questions about why God lets bad things happen. The partnership was announced last week during Christin television program "Praise the Lord,” which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
Liberty's Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said on the program that Cameron is the "example of the type of graduate that Liberty is trying to turn out" and praised Cameron for "using your profession to impact the culture, and that’s what we’re trying to do in every profession.”
“So that’s why we decided to partner with you on your newest project," Falwell Jr. went on to explain. »

Good Boys Gone Wild: 13 Roles That Shattered Teen Idol Images
15 March 2013 9:41 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
This week's gonzo teen nightmare Spring Breakers is trumpeting the fact that two of its leads - Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez - traditionally play "good girls". But the whole "teen idol gone bad" strategy is a longstanding Hollywood tradition aimed to help transition pigeonholed teen stars into "serious" actors.
Here are a few fellas who tried the tactic, to varying degrees of success.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Speedway Junky
The squeaky-clean kid from Home Improvement took a step toward tarnishing his image by playing an evil, bisexual hooker in this gritty drama, giving a whole new meaning to "Tool Time"!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Mysterious Skin
Jgl also went the hustler route for his breakout from small-screen teen stardom - only the 3rd Rock star went "the full gay" in this unsettling and excellent indie drama.
