Best (and Worst) Season Finales of 2011-2012 – Estrella Picks
30 May 2012 11:26 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
It’s that time of year… network shows are going off the air (some for good) and the cable summer season is about to premiere. We decided to take a look at all of the season finales that have aired thus far and here are more of our staff picks for the best and the worst for the 2011-2012 season. Here are picks made by BuzzFocus Associate Editor-Community Manager Ernie Estrella:
(Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t seen these season finales!)
Best: Don’t Trust The B—- in Apartment 23
Wanna know why this show worked and 2 Broke Girls didn’t? We had rudeness from Chloe (Krystin Ritter) and the corruption and naïveté of June (Dreama Walker) is plenty fun, but the supporting characters prove to be something more than what they are on the surface. James Van Der Beek destroys playing a caricature of himself and as Chloe’s catty Bff, »

Movie Review: 'The Awakening' (1980)
30 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
If you were an enthusiastic horror film buff back in the ancient year of 1980, The Awakening might have seemed like a pretty cool option: - A cast that includes Charlton Heston, Susannah York, and a young, pretty Stephanie Zimbalist. - A young director by the name of Mike Newell -- who would go on to deliver features like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Donnie Brasco, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. - A screenplay by three veteran British scribes, based on a novel by Bram Stoker. - A nifty Egyptian setting and, best of all, a visual and thematic approach that feels like a combination of The Exorcist (1973) and The Omen (1976). - Bonus movie geek points if you were excited to »
Rachel McAdams joins Richard Curtis’ About Time
18 May 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Richard Curtis (Love Actually) all but single-handedly dominated the British romantic-comedy in the ’90s, writing Four Weddings and a Funeral and then Notting Hill (as well as Bean in between).
He made his directorial debut with the much-loved Love Actually back in 2003, and followed it up with the brilliant The Boat that Rocked three years ago, and is set to go back behind the camera this year with About Time, directing from his own script.
We heard earlier this year that Zooey Deschanel was in talks to join the film as the female lead, but THR report that the lovely Rachel McAdams is now in negotiations to take the lead opposite Domhnall Gleeson (Brendan Gleeson’s son) instead.
Described as a fantastical feel-good movie, the film centres on,
“Tim, a young man who comes from a family of time-travelers. When Tim learns of his unique gift from his father, he »

Hugh Grant Reveals Meaning Behind Daughter's Name
27 April 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hugh Grant has explained why his baby daughter has a Chinese name meaning 'Happy Surprise' - she was an unexpected addition to the movie star's life.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral actor became a first-time father last year after a fleeting affair with Chinese model Tinglan Hong. They welcomed a baby girl called Tabitha, and although they are not a couple, Grant is determined to be a part of his daughter's life.
He has now confirmed his little girl also has a Chinese name, Jingxi, and it reflects her unexpected arrival.
Grant tells talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, "I can't pretend it wasn't a little bit of a surprise but, it's a very nice surprise. In fact, the baby's name in Chinese - because the mother is Chinese - means Happy Surprise."
He adds, "It's surprising that everyone was right all these years. (People were) saying, 'Hugh, why don't you have some children? It changes your life.' And, you're thinking, 'Oh, shut up!' And now that I have (a child), it is life changing. I recommend it. Get some." »
On her majesty's silver service: expats dust off tuxedos for BritWeek in La

Britons famous, once famous and perhaps to be famous again are beating the drum for the UK in Hollywood this week
For once, there was no shame in being on the B-list: they came from all corners of Hollywood – peaks of fame, foothills of recognition and valleys of the forgotten – to celebrate Britishness.
A female bagpiper in an electric-blue miniskirt summoned the disparate tribe of dames, geezers, toffs and other transplanted Brits to proclaim their success, or mere survival, at a red-carpet gala in west Hollywood on Tuesday night.
It was the launch of BritWeek, an annual series of events co-founded six years ago by Nigel Lythgoe, the Wirral-born producer of American Idol, Pop Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.
"The Brits that weren't very good at what they did went home and complained about how horrible everything was in Los Angeles," said Lythgoe, working his way up the carpet. »

Cs Video: Hugh Grant on The Pirates! Band of Misfits
25 April 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Hugh Grant has played the caddish romantic leading man in seemingly dozens of British comedies from Four Weddings and a Funeral to Bridget Jones's Diary . Now, in a rather welcome change of pace, he's slipping on his pirate hat and cutlass to set out for the high seas of adventure in The Pirates! Band of Misfits . In the latest delightful romp from the stop-motion geniuses at Aardman Animations and director Peter Lord ( Chicken Run ), Grant voices the Pirate Captain, an incompetent but good-natured treasure seeker out to win the coveted "Pirate of the Year" award. With the help of his faithful crew of oddballs and Charles Darwin (David Tennant) he just might be able to avoid Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) cutting off his head in the process.

Hugh Grant: Multiple-Personality Slave Driver?
24 April 2012 11:44 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
Hugh Grant has been playing a lot of golf during his four-year sabbatical from Hollywood, but the Four Weddings and a Funeral star is poised to come back in a big way with not one but six roles in the cryptic new movie co-directed by the Wachowski Brothers, Cloud Atlas, calling the project the "strangest offer I ever had."

"It's the strangest film, strangest script, strangest offer I ever had," Grant tells MTV of the new film from the makers of The Matrix with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). "To play six small parts, all of them appalling killers and rapists, and some of them 85-year-old men, others Korean slave drivers. I thought maybe they were having a joke at my expense when they asked me to do it."
Based on the complex David Mitchell novel, Cloud Atlas tells six stories, each set in »
Alison Brie, 'The Five Year Engagement' Star Talks, Jason Segel, Elmo, 'Mad Men' And 'Community'
24 April 2012 11:13 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Despite starring in two popular TV shows, Alison Brie is not known as Pete Campbell's dutiful wife, Trudy, from AMC's "Mad Men," nor the straight-laced Annie Edison from NBC's "Community." She's a household name -- everyone knows her simply as Alison Brie, (or, according to every guy I know, "the woman I will marry one day"). So, to the delight of fanboys everywhere, the star's taking her talents to the big screen in "The Five Year Engagement." The comedy, brought to you by "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" team Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel, along with producer Judd Apatow, follows a cursed couple (Segel and Emily Blunt) on their very, very long walk to the alter. Here, Brie plays Blunt's zany sister who dons a British -- and dead-on accurate Elmo -- accent. Moviefone chatted with Brie about her upcoming movie, Jason Segel going full-frontal and who the bigger asshole is, Pete Cambpell or Pierce Hawthorne. »

Empire's Special Mike Newell Podcast
24 April 2012 8:54 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Two weeks ago, Mike Newell came into the Empire podbooth. He was pencilled in for about 20 minutes or so to talk about his favourite film ever, La Grande Illusion, as it had just been rereleased on the big screen. He ended up staying for well over double that, chatting away about everything from Four Weddings And A Funeral and his complicated working relationship with Jerry Bruckheimer on Prince Of Persia. Put simply: it was frank, funny and slightly mad.The first fifteen minutes or so ended up in podcast #7 - his thoughts on La Grande Illusion, essentially - and these forty minutes are what remained.Re-editing it for a solo special podcast, a la Terence Stamp, we've crafted this little gem for you, which boasts arguably the best Johnny Depp farting anecdote we've ever heard... and that's saying something.So what are you waiting for?

Grant Hosts Daughter's Christening
22 April 2012 7:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
British actor Hugh Grant has thrown a Christening ceremony for his baby daughter in a quiet English village close to the home of his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral star became a first-time father last year when he welcomed a little girl called Tabitha following a "fleeting affair" with former model Tinglan Hong.
Grant has now celebrated the birth with a Christening at St. Mary's Church in the small village of Ampney Crucis, in the English Cotswolds region.
The baptism was conducted by Reverend John Swanton, who tells Britain's Sunday Express, "The service was a traditional one and the baby was absolutely delightful."
After the ceremony, guests were invited to a celebratory party at the home of Grant's former partner Hurley, who owns a farm nearby. »
Lord Of The Rings Battle Named Top Rain Scene
18 April 2012 3:11 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
A spectacular battle in The Lord Of The Rings sequel has been hailed as the best rain scene in movie history.
The brutal clash at Helms Deep in 2002's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is one of the fantasy series' standout set pieces, and has come out on top of the poll by U.K DVD rental firm LoveFilm.
The ending of Blade Runner, which features Rutger Hauer's soaking wet character delivering a moving monologue, was in second place, and The Shawshank Redemption's rain-lashed climax came third.
Gene Kelly's toe-tapping dance in Singin' in the Rain twirled into fourth place, with the fearsome fight scene in Matrix Revolutions rounding out the top five. Other notable entries include Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell's kiss in Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Tobey Maguire's upside down smooch in Spider-Man. »

Happy Endings Recap: L-u-v Mandonna
5 April 2012 9:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
You begged for it. (And begged for it, and begged for it, and begged for it.) So here it is: a Happy Endings recap! Farewell, season two. We loved you dearly. "Four Weddings and a Funeral (Minus Three Weddings and One Funeral)" brought out the most-est in everyone: Max was especially Max-y, Penny was particularly Penny-ish, and Jane was even Jane-ier than usual. Weddings just have that effect on people.We open on the gang in their natural habitat of quippy trash talk, with everyone sharing their thoughts on Derek and Eric's upcoming gay wedding. Max is more concerned about his website, Things That Are Gay dot biz, and Alex is focused on creating a compelling portmanteau for the happy couple. Penny is super psyched that she won't have to sit at the single-people table because she has an amahzing new boyfriend — aaaand that took three minutes. It turns out »

Happy Endings Season Finale Review: Mandonna Reunites
5 April 2012 2:54 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
To be honest, I wasn't in love with "Four Weddings and a Funeral (Minus Three Weddings and One Funeral)" for the most part. I had high hopes for another wedding episode of Happy Endings but it was kind of mediocre. I'm not even trying to be critical because you all know how ah-mah-zing I think this show is!
Then something happened at the end that bumped things from mediocre to unreal. Max zipped on some pants - that basically took Penny a coat hanger to get on - and he slapped a Madonna mole on his face. Let's face it, Max + Madonna cover band = pure gold. It also doesn't hurt that "Mandonna" performed one of the most crowd pleasing songs of all time, "Like a Prayer."
All I needed was a Journey cover band performing "Don't Stop Believing" and I would've passed out from joy.

HitFix Interview: Eliza Coupe and Casey Wilson talk 'Happy Endings'

"Happy Endings" finishes its season season on Wednesday (April 4) night with a finale that totally delivers on the promise of its title, "Four Weddings and a Funeral (Minus Three Weddings and One Funeral)." It's a madcap episode that includes Madonna impersonators, Brian Austin Green and even a couple surprising relationship zigs and zags. It's also a terrific showcase for Eliza Coupe and Casey Wilson, who never hesitate to make themselves look ridiculous in the name of hilarity. Last week, I ran my recent interview with Damon Wayans Jr. and Zachary Knighton, who talked about the show's Season 2 »
