Lucky Luke and other Cartoon heroes on the Big Screen
29 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As this summer’s blockbuster season reminds us comic book adaptations are big business with the latest incarnations of heroes old and new filling the local picturehouse and running merry riot over box office records.
Given the twin benefits of a wealth of material on which to draw and a ready audience primed to see their favourites fleshed out and thrown onto a movie screen it seems that we’ll be seeing many more familiar, and some less familiar, cartoon characters in movies of their own.
Jean Dujardin turned the world into a swooning mess when he led Michel Hazanavicius’ award magnet The Artist last year and in this article Anwar Brett takes a look at another of the actor’s roles, that of Lucky Luke in James Huth’s adaptation of the comic book by Morris, which is out now on DVD, as well as nine other cartoon heroes »

'Coronation Street': Terry, Carla, Peter gossip from Phil Collinson
2 April 2012 8:47 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Coronation Street's producer Phil Collinson gave away plenty of spoilers during his interview on This Morning today (April 2), announcing the casting of Sue Johnston as Stella's mum, dramatic wedding plans for Rita and Dennis and the details of Betty's big secret. A few other snippets were also disclosed about Terry Duckworth's upcoming Weatherfield return and the future for Carla and Peter's relationship, which we'll detail here in Soap Scoop. Teasing Terry's comeback, Coronation Street's boss hinted that the villain will spot an opportunity when he learns that Tommy (Chris Fountain) has inherited some cash following his grandfather's death. Collinson joked: "He comes back to the street, and of course it's got nothing to do with the fact that his son - who he's never seen since he gave him (more) »

Morning Meme: Toni Collette Stuns In "Jesus Henry Christ," "Smash" To Return, and Hugh Dancy Is "Hannibal"
23 March 2012 4:59 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Miss me kids? I missed you, though you're always in great hands with Louis, who was kind to fill in for me on top of his other duties. I try not to do it to him often. Of course, I'm doing it again in a couple weeks. Remember when I went last year and spoke to OUTLaw at Washington & Lee Law School last year? They're having a debate between Maggie Gallagher and Andrew Sullivan April 4th at 6Pm and invited me back. Plus it gets me some rare face time with our fearless leader, Dennis.
But on to things that matter, like the fact that Smash has been renewed for a second season. It's uneven, but I really am hopeful for the show. One major change is that creator/showrunner Theresa Rebeck won't be back, but will live on in Debra Messing's character, who was loosely based on her. »

Daily Briefing. Bordwell + Thompson + Criterion, Reverse Shot on Spielberg II, More
19 March 2012 10:50 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
For the tenth edition of Film Art: An Introduction, David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson are partnering with Criterion to present Connect Film, an hour-long set of twenty videos on various aspects of filmmaking addressed in the now-classic textbook. Above: "Elliptical Editing in Vagabond (1985)." Kristin Thompson: "Most of the other Connect examples illustrate the chapters on the four types of film technique: mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, and sound. There's also a short documentary about digital animation."
More books. You may remember that Dave Kehr is quite an admirer of the writing of Arlene Croce, a dance critic for the New Yorker from 1973 to 1998. She's also the author of The Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Book and, in the new issue of the New York Review of Books, she reviews Todd Decker's Music Makes Me: Fred Astaire and Jazz and Kathleen Riley's The Astaires: Fred and Adele.

SXSW 2012 Review: The Aggression Scale is a Fan Pleasing Midnighter with Style
12 March 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
What if Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister from Home Alone wasn't the lovable trouble maker in the John Hughes mold, but was instead a vicious psychopath more in line with Jack the Ripper than Dennis the Menace? This is the essential question asked by Steven C. Miller in his sophomore feature. Replace marbles with razor sharp jacks, replace paint cans with sharpened branches, and replace simulated gunfire with a pump-action 12 gauge shotgun, and you've got the basic premise of The Aggression Scale. You've also got a pretty damned good time at the cinema. The story begins when crime boss Bellavance (Ray Wise) is released from prison. He has 48 hours to get his family and flee the country before he gets put away for »
It's Over! A Look Back At Dennis Quaid's Marriages
9 March 2012 3:05 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Guess the third time wasn't the charm for Dennis Quaid.
After six years of marriage, Quaid and wife Kimberly Buffington-Quaid are calling it quits. TMZ reported Friday that Buffington-Quaid had filed to divorce the actor, requesting spousal support and attorney's fees. Her rep later confirmed the news.
According to the divorce filing obtained by TMZ, Buffington-Quaid states that "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
The pair, who were married in July 2004, have two children together, 4-year-old twins, Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone. They reportedly have a temporary custody agreement in place that guarantees each party time with the the kids.
Divorce is a road Quaid has traveled down before. The actor met his first wife, actress P.J. Soles, on the set of the 1978 film "Our Winning Season, »

The Cast & Creators Of 'The Adventures Of Pete & Pete' Reunite In NYC To Discuss Their Cult '90s Show
29 February 2012 11:57 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If you were a kid who grew up during the '90s, chances are you were probably watching either MTV or Nickelodeon to get your fix of entertainment for the day. And if you watched Nickelodeon, you were probably a fan of “The Adventures of Pete & Pete,” the oddball series featuring two brothers both named Pete and their sometimes surreal adventures growing up in the suburb of Wellsville. Created by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi -- who were working in the promo department at the still-fledgling network -- 'Pete & Pete' had begun as a series of shorts in 1989 before becoming a regular series several years later. But this wasn’t just any kids program. Not only did it feature an 8-year-old with a tattoo of a topless mermaid named Petunia and a personal superhero wildly gesticulating in skin tight pants but featured recurring guest stars, including Steve Buscemi, Iggy Pop, »

Interview: Theresa Russell of Track 29
17 February 2012 3:13 PM, PST | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
Disc Dish recently spoke with actress Theresa Russell on the eve of the release of Track 29, (DVD $14.98, Image Entertainment, available on Feb. 21, 2012), the 1988 comedy-drama in which she stars alongside Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Christopher Lloyd (Piranha) and Sandra Bernhard (Dinner Rush).
Written by Dennis Potter and directed by Ms. Russell’s then-husband Nicolas Roeg (The Man Who Fell To Earth), Track 29 is an eccentric fantasy-reality juggler if ever there was one. In it, she portrays Linda, a bored housewife who becomes captivated by the handsome young hitchhiker Martin (Oldman), who suddenly “drops” into her life. After Martin claims that he’s the child that she gave up for adoption after a teen pregnancy, Linda must deal with a series of increasingly bizarre events, which may or may not be transpiring solely in her own lonely head.

17 January 2012 5:13 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Just spotted Scott Macaulay's item at Filmmaker noting that not only has Joe Swanberg completed yet another film he's also put it up on Vimeo, where anyone anywhere can watch it for free throughout January. Marriage Material (55'30") features himself, Kentucker Audley, Adam Wingard, Caroline White, Kris Swanberg, Jude Swanberg and Amanda Crawford and focuses on a young Memphis couple who "agree to babysit their friend's 6-month-old for a day. The experience causes them to examine their own relationship and their feelings about marriage and children."
For the Los Angeles Times, Mark Olsen's asked Joe why he's doing this and Joe's got five good answers. The first one: "The date of the 'release' is connected to the shipment of the first DVD in the Joe Swanberg: Collected Films 2011 set that Factory 25 is doing, but it's not lost on me that Sundance is also starting this week.
