Blu-ray Review: Channing Tatum, Rachel McAdams in Deadly Dull ‘The Vow’
18 May 2012 11:16 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I feel like a bit of a confession is necessary to frame my opinion of the truly awful “The Vow.” Lest you think this is just some cynical male critic, I like “The Notebook” and “The Lake House.” I even kind of like “Dear John” and didn’t hate “The Time Traveler’s Wife.” Yes, I’m a cheeseball when the cheese is well-done. I wanted to like “The Vow.” There’s nothing to like here unless you find taking talented, charming actors and making them deadly dull likeable.
Blu-ray Rating: 1.5/5.0
I have another confession — I could have sworn that “The Vow” was based on a Nicholas Sparks book and thought it was until I saw the credits on the recently released Blu-ray and DVD. It might as well have been. Allegedly inspired by true events, the film doesn’t exist without the wild success of recent romantic dramas based on Sparks’ books. »

Marion Ettlinger David Auburn
David Auburn spent about two years writing his new play, “The Columnist,” the longest writing process he’s ever experienced on a project. But it started out as just curiosity in the Vietnam War.
“I basically knew nothing about this part of our history and I wanted to learn about it,” Auburn said. “So I started reading a lot, and the name, Joe Alsop, pops up in histories of Vietnam.”
“The Columnist” is about the life of Joseph Alsop, »

10 movie chemistries that fizzled out second time around
13 February 2012 8:27 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
To prove that lightning seldom strikes in the same place twice, we take a look at ten romantic and bromantic movie pairings that failed to work a second time...
We all know and recognise the thought process behind many studios’ decisions to re-cast actors opposite one another after a successful first film together. Whenever a lot is made of two actors’ supposed chemistry alongside one another, the standards are set unusually high for a repeat performance.
One of things that makes that elusive on-screen chemistry so hard to define is that it has often proven so difficult to replicate. Here are ten pairings that have fallen into the ever-expanding trap of diminishing returns. Oh, and if you care to celebrate it with much gusto, happy Valentine’s Day to you all. I shall be celebrating it with a bucket of KFC – not that I’m bitter or anything...

Midnight In Paris is Woody Allen’s valentine to the City of Light, which he considers equal to New York as the great city of the world. “Of course I’m partial to New York because I was born there and grew up there,” he says, “but if I didn’t live in New York, Paris is the place I would live.” The film is the second time Allen has filmed there, after a small bit of Everyone Says I Love You. »

‘Proof’ Writer David Auburn to Adapt ‘A Discovery of Witches’ for Warner Bros.
10 January 2012 12:30 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
With the Harry Potter series at an end and The Twilight Saga on its way out as well after this November's finale, I suppose now is as good a time as any to introduce a new project that combines the elements of both. Last year, Warner Bros. picked up the movie rights to Deborah Harkness' novel A Discovery of Witches, and now the studio is taking its first big step forward by bringing Proof writer David Auburn on to pen the adaptation. More details after the jump. First published in February 2011, A Discovery of Witches center around a young scholar and reluctant witch named Diana Bishop who's descended from the first victim of the Salem Witch Trials. When she stumbles across an enchanted manuscript, she finds herself at the center of a centuries-long grudge between vampires, witches, and daemons. Naturally, a handsome vampire love interest is involved as well. »

‘Proof’ Pulitzer-Winner David Auburn Adapting ‘A Discovery of Witches’ For Warner Bros.
10 January 2012 7:45 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In news of the latest studio to graft a top-notch literary talent onto a high-concept adaptation, Variety reports that David Auburn, whose play Proof won the 2001 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for drama, has been hired by Warner Bros. to adapt Deborah Harkness‘s novel A Discovery of Witches.
The novel concerns a reluctant scholar (who happens to be a descendant of the first woman burned at the Salem witch trials) and her discovery of an ancient, bewitched alchemical manuscript. From there, all manner of witches, magic, vampires and “daemons” enter the picture in what sounds like an at least fairly literate stab at an original supernatural universe, a la Twilight, or True Blood.
Auburn’s screenplay credits include the Anthony Hopkins-Gwenyth Paltrow-starring adaptation of Proof and The Lake House. A Discovery of Witches might just be in Auburn’s wheelhouse, despite the supernatural hook. »

A Discovery Of Witches Adaptation Being Prepped By Warner Bros.
10 January 2012 6:30 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches is being adapted for the big screen. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has hired David Auburn to write the screenplay. Auburn wrote the play Proof, the movie The Lake House, and wrote and directed 2007's The Girl in the Park.
This is the first book of the "All Souls" Trilogy. The second book, Shadow of Night, is being released this summer. Here is a description of the book: When historian Diana Bishop opens a bewitched alchemical manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library it represents an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordinary life. Though descended from a long line of witches, she is determined to remain untouched by her family’s legacy. She banishes the manuscript to the stacks, but Diana finds it impossible to hold the world of magic at bay any longer.
For witches are not the only otherworldly creatures living alongside humans. »

Deborah Harkness' A Discovery Of Witches To Be Adapted By David Auburn
10 January 2012 12:06 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Though it was an inevitability, the end of the Harry Potter franchise has left a void over at Warner Bros. Over the last decade the studio could rely on the boy wizard to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars at the international and domestic box office and now they are on the hunt for the next big thing. According to Variety, they think they might have found it with A Discovery of Witches, which not only has magical characters, but has them doing battle with the other favorite mythical being of the moment: vampires. Though the rights to Deborah Harkness' novel were purchased last summer, it is only now that David Auburn has been brought on to adapt it into a movie. Auburn's previous work includes the 2005 John Madden film Proof (which was based on a play that he wrote) and 2006's The Lake House. The story centers »
Jaimie Etkin: 'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Lucas Shows His Dark Side
9 January 2012 10:06 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: The following contains spoilers if you have not seen Season 2, Episode 15 of ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," entitled, "A Hot Piece Of 'A.'"
The second "Pretty Little Liars" episode of 2012 picked up almost exactly where the first left off, but it was infinitely better than its predecessor.
After Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily debate whether the alleged "A" was a "him," "her," or an "it" -- Emily's going with non-"him" due to running prowess, or lack thereof -- they get in a real fight that rivals their fake one from the previous episode.
They have to decide what to do with their tormentor's locked phone, but Hanna thinks it's an opportunity to talk about evil step-sister Kate moving to Rosewood. The others, Spencer and Emily in particular, are not having it and suggest they go to the only person in town who has hair as shiny »
