Cannes Review: It's Isabelle Huppert Times Three In Hong Sang-soo's Light 'In Another Country'
22 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Heaviness tends to dominate the Cannes Film Festival, and this year is no different. Death ("Amour"), doubt ("The Hunt"), losing limbs ("Rust And Bone") and religious fanaticism ("Beyond The Hills") are just some of themes that have cropped up so far as we get to the halfway point of the fest. And while Hong Sang-soo's "In Another Country" won't win any points for examining tough subject matter, the deceptively simple film is a decent breath of fresh of air in a lineup of Important Movies.
The ever prolific Sangsoo marks his latest outing by teaming up with his first "star," in French actress Isabelle Huppert, and uses it to his sly and comic advantage. "In Another Country" is broken up into three segments, with Huppert playing a different character named Anne in each, who winds up speaking English to help communicate with the locals as she visits Mohang, South Korea. »

'Hysteria' Is a Vibrator Movie You Can Watch With Your Family
18 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
If you never thought you could watch a movie about vibrators with your whole family, the fun new period romp "Hysteria" will prove you wrong.
Starring some of Britain's finest (Hugh Dancy, Felicity Jones, Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett) and one Yank (Maggie Gyllenhaal), "Hysteria" is a romantic comedy based on the surprising true story behind how the first mechanical vibrator was invented. If that doesn't intrigue you, then we can't help you.
The dashing Dancy plays Mortimer Granville, an out-of-work doctor who finds a job working for Dr. Robert Dalrymple, a progressive gent who specializes in treating 'hysteria' in women by, um, using his hands (we'll let you use your imagination). As it turns out, Granville is ambidextrous, which helps his boss' business soar; but when his hands eventually give out, Granville enlists the aid of his friend (Everett) to come up with a solution.

Awake S01E04: "Kate is Enough"
Did you ever see that movie Sliding Doors? You know, the one from 1998 starring a then partially tolerable Gwyneth Paltrow as a woman who lived two timelines based on whether or not she caught a train.

Gwyneth Paltrow talks to dad's wedding ring
22 March 2012 2:02 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Gwyneth Paltrow talks to her late father's wedding ring. The 39-year-old actress feels she connects with Bruce Paltrow - who died of throat cancer in 2002 aged just 58 - through his ring which she wears around her neck. She explained: 'I always hold on to it. I ask it questions; I feel like it keeps me safe. '[I sense] the energy of his soul. I don't think that evaporates. I feel my dad, I still feel his love, and I still love him.' The famously health-conscious 'Sliding Doors' star met husband Chris Martin just three months after her father's death and believes his passing changed her life in many ways. She told Harper's Bazaar: 'All I've learned about nutrition »
White Heat: 'Back in the 60s and 70s, politics was everything'

The stars of the new six-part BBC drama reflect on friendships forged in the volatile 1960s
It's always such a fillip to meet actors who have had fun making a TV series. Perhaps fun isn't the word. White Heat, a six-parter written by Paula Milne and coming soon to BBC2, is a sprawling bittersweet epic marking the lives of seven friends from 1965 to today, and there is angst, and darkness, against some of the fastest-changing times in British history.
But Claire Foy and Sam Claflin, two of the impossibly bubbly young stars, seem to have enjoyed not just fun but the fun of learning. "It's been an eye-opener," says Foy, most recently seen in Upstairs Downstairs, "to realise that so many of the things women take for granted were so hard-fought for in the 60s, 70s, 80s. Sam and I start in 1965, and it runs with all the changes, choices, »

Mooz-Lum starring Danny Glover: portraying Muslims in a positive light
21 February 2012 7:07 PM, PST | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Qasim Basir grew up in a world filled with prejudice. A world where Muslims were victimised and negatively portrayed. The tragic events on September 11, 2001 didn.t exactly help matters either.
.All I ever see in the media or all I have ever seen in the media was this negative portrayal of Muslims in America and around the world,. Basir says to If during a visit to Australia late last year.
.I.ve been around Muslims my whole life . and I.ve never seen the version the media puts out there. It.s not to say that all Muslim people are great because that.s not the case . there are people out there doing some horrible things but it.s a very, very small minority.
.And so I just wanted to put a story out there that showed a more human version of the people . show something more accurate..

Burning Questions: Undelivered Speeches?
14 February 2012 8:50 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Michael C. here. I would never back the idea of awarding an Oscar based on anything other than quality of the work. No award for being a beloved old-timer overdue for a win, or because your film sends an admirable message, and definitely no trophy to make up for a past lost that everyone agrees was a blunder. I think most people agree with me that once you start down the road the whole enterprise of presenting awards for artistic achievement – which is shaky enough to begin with – falls apart.
Having said that, there is one criterion beyond merit which I will guiltily admit often plays a big part in who it is I root for on the big night: the possible entertainment value of the winners. And hey, voters so often make their choices based on questionable reasoning, why shouldn’t the promise of a lively and memorable show enter into it? »

NCIS 200th Episode Review: Again, For the First Time
7 February 2012 6:56 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
"We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot
Tonight's milestone episode of NCIS showed us a side of Leroy Jehtro Gibbs we've never seen before, which was the point, as the bulk of the action did not actually take place, other than in his head.
I have not seen the 1998 film Sliding Doors, upon which "Life Before His Eyes" is loosely based, but I'm intrigued after watching Gibbs' unique journey - one funny, moving, and surprisingly complex.
Only by looking back at the decisions he's made and the wide-ranging ripple effects that followed could our fearless leader truly understand the scope of what he's accomplished over the decades.
Seeing his life, as it were, again for the first time.
Gibbs would love a perfect world, to have it both ways. »

Paltrow Needs Detox Whenever She's 'Exhausted' And 'Cranky'
1 February 2012 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Gwyneth Paltrow knows she's in need of a detox when she wakes up "exhausted" and ends the day feeling "cranky".
The Sliding Doors star is known for her healthy eating, but she also confesses to indulging and eating whatever she wants as she juggles her work with her responsibilities as a mother-of-two.
However, Paltrow forces herself to undergo a 12-week detox programme whenever she starts to feel sluggish.
She tells Harper's Bazaar magazine, "I'll wake up exhausted; I can feel my adrenal cortex being really high. When I get into bed, my heart will pound, my skin won't be good, I'll feel cranky, and then I'll just know it's time."
The actress kicked off 2012 by embarking on a big cleanse and she will remain on the diet programme until the end of March.
She says, "I have a lot of inflammation in my system, so I'm not having anything I'm allergic to - no gluten, no dairy, no sugar."
Paltrow shared details about the Cleanse kit with visitors to her Goop.com lifestyle site last month. »
NCIS 200th Episode Photos: Mike Franks Sighting!
25 January 2012 5:44 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
NCIS returns Tuesday February 7 for a watershed event in show history.
It is, after all, the 200th episode of the CBS procedural, now in its ninth season and the #1 drama on TV. For Leroy Jethro Gibbs (star and executive producer Mark Harmon) it's a time to look back upon his life.
During a routine stop for his morning coffee at his favorite diner, Gibbs unexpectedly finds himself staring down the barrel of a gun, forcing him to question choices he has made in the past and present.
The 200th installment also serves as a "here's to our fans" moment of sorts, with a number of familiar faces returning in the alternate reality to which Gibbs' mind drifts (a la the 1998 movie, Sliding Doors).
Muse Watson (Mike Franks), Ralph Waite (Jackson Gibbs), Joe Spano (Senior FBI Agent T.C. Fornell), Darby Stanchfield (Shannon Gibbs) and Rudolf Martin (Ari Haswari) appearing in the milestone episode. »

Glee's Chris Colfer Drops Hints About "Revolutionary" Fourth Season

In case you haven't heard (and if you're a Glee fan, we know you've heard), the spinoff that was supposed to feature Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer is dead. But still very much alive? The dream of a fourth season with Rachel Berry, Finn Hudson and Kurt Hummel! Our own Ryan Seacrest caught up with Colfer on the Golden Globes carpet, and he gave a very intriguing clue about the next season of Glee… "I think the show is going down this path, and there were options A and B they could've gone [down], but now they're combining," Colfer teased mysteriously. Maybe a Sliding Doors type situation where we get to watch two different worlds exist in one show? »

NCIS 200th Episode Spoilers: Gibbs to Ask "What If" ...
12 January 2012 7:31 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Gibbs will travel down memory lane and then some February 7th when NCIS airs its 200th episode. The milestone event, titled "Life Before His Eyes," explores certain "What If" angles, according to TV Line.
Executive producer Gary Glasberg tells Matt Mitovich, “It very much is about a pivotal moment that Gibbs faces."
"It literally looks back at key moments through nine years of NCIS where decisions had to be made, and had people gone in one direction instead of another, how the world would have ended up.”
With 199 episodes worth of material, and some events that fans recall intimately years after the fact, NCIS could go in any number of directions with this. Including bringing back some old faces.
Glasberg says that in the much-hyped 200th episode, will be “familiar faces, old faces, and faces the fans didn’t think they’d see again…. It was a lot of fun. »
