Review: The Middle - The Block Party

28 October 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

(S01E05) Things are starting to settle into a familiar and comfortable pattern. There was nothing particularly groundbreaking in the presentation or even the subject matter of this episode, but it was still enjoyable. It's the love within the Heck family, even within Axl, that makes this a heartwarming comedy.

It doesn't have the sharp wit and cleverness of its follow-up Modern Family, but it's still leaps and bounds better than its lead-in -- Oh, that's right. ABC went with a re-airing of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown instead of Hank. Didn't they air that last night, too. That's okay, Kelsey. It'll be just fine. You'll get that back nine order any day now.

This week, we focused on Brick. The more I see of the little whispering weirdo, the more I like him, and while I hate to keep bringing this up, the more I need the show to address his physical ailment. »

Okay, it’s late…this blog is going to be turned in late.  I can’t stop watching Sho2 and this Crazy endurance competition.  These three are troopers, to say the least.  Natalie’s almost fallen twice (as of 10:00 Pm Pt), but they’re all still hanging in.  Okay, by the time you read this, we’ll all know the end result…but, I’m dying to know how this turns out! Okay, as I watch, I’ll try to focus. First off, Congratulations to Natalie and Jason on their engagement.  At the end of the day, Big Brother is just a game, but this was huge.  Natalie, whatever happens in the Big Brother house this week, all of us at Big Brother wish you both all the joy and happiness that life has to offer.  Don’t be haters, viewers, this is real life and we should all embrace this event. »

Scenes We Love: Dave Chappelle's Block Party

18 August 2009 5:03 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

I'm not exactly what you would call a sentimental kind of person, and I tend to get a little 'gaggy' when it comes to the so-called touchy-feely things in life. But if there is one thing that makes me feel like a big old softy, it would be Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Now this is what I call a call a 'feel good movie' with everyone from the lady behind the counter at a liquor store to a high-school marching band packed with Chappelle's fans and admirers, he puts them at ease while bringing them out their comfort zone, and most importantly: he leaves him laughing.

The 2005 documentary was written and hosted by Chappelle with Michel Gondry behind the camera, and even if you aren't the biggest fan of soul and hip-hop music, you can't deny that you can practically feel the joy that seeps through every frame. The musical »

Exclusive: Fangoria Musick interview with Tim Sult of Clutch

31 May 2009 2:31 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

On July 7th, Maryland's Clutch will release Strange Cousins From The West, their ninth studio album, and the first on their own label, Weathermaker Music. After almost 20 years, Clutch is one of the rare bands that has managed to maintain a loyal fanbase that has been there since the beginning, while gaining new listeners with each new record.

Fangoria Musick caught up with guitarist Tim Sult, one of the key players behind the distinctive Clutch sound, to discuss the new album, the band's change of business model, and to talk a little horror.

James Zahn (Fangoria): After being on numerous labels over the years (Atlantic, Eastwest, Earache, Drt) you guys are going out on your own with Weathermaker Music. I’ve seen the Clutch DVD (Full Fathom Five) that you recently released, and now Strange Cousins From The West will be the first full-length Clutch album released on your own label. »

First look: 10 images from Michel Gondry's The Thorn In The Heart

7 May 2009 12:32 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

When French director Michele Gondry isn't taking mundane life and twisting it into whimsical fairy tales a la Science of Sleep or Be Kind Rewind he's making documentaries on the sly. Not exactly Dave Chappelle's Block Party however, The Thorn in the Heart looks to be much more of a personal journey for Gondry, retracing his roots through the story of his Aunt.

Synopsis:

Suzette, Michel Gondry's aunt, was a school teacher from 1952 to 1986 and she tells Michel how it was to be a teacher back then in a rural and isolated part of France. But little by little, Michel discovers some family stories he was totally unaware of and uses his camera to explore it in a subtle but very emotional way.

The Thorn in the Hearth is premiering at Cannes but is not in competition. After the break are the first images from the film. Most of »

Michel Gondry on 'Green Hornet' and his music video legacy

16 April 2009 3:42 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

After typically coming to the forefront because of a bold vision or creating something extraordinary, acclaimed filmmakers have a tendency to become more and more predictable as the years go on.  Their new work becomes too similar to the previous films, the subject matter and style increasingly repetiitve.  Famed French media maestro and Oscar-winner Michel Gondry clearly doesn't want to fall into that rut.  And yet, after his breakthrough success "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," Gondry's next three films may not have been divergent enough.  Sure, "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" didn't include any of his signature dream sequences, plays with... »

Michel Gondry Directing Seth Rogen's Green Hornet!

24 February 2009 4:32 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

When it was announced that Stephen Chow would no longer be directing The Green Hornet project that Seth Rogen had been developing, I was worried that we wouldn't see a better director eventually get the gig. But I was wrong. Michel Gondry, known as the wacky mind behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Science of Sleep, and Be Kind Rewind, has signed on to direct. While this is definitely not an expected choice, I'm certainly loving it. I was already excited for Green Hornet beforehand, and I'm a big Gondry fan separately, so combining those two was like seeing your two favorite actors finally work together. This is the most mainstream project Gondry has ever taken on. Although Be Kind Rewind was made by New Line Cinema, it was still considered an independent and low-budget creation, and even Dave Chappelle's Block Party falls into the indie category as well. »
