PopWatch Confessional TV Jukebox edition: What songs do you wish you'd heard on TV this year?
25 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
As I wrap up another season full of moving, sassy, romantic, and knee-slappingly funny music moments at TV Jukebox, I’ve been excited to single out some amazing tunes by new-to-me acts: Brooklyn’s sultry-spooky duo Ms Mr, soulful piano balladeer Sara Jackson-Holman, L.A. poppers Milo Greene, and singer-songwriter Adam Agin, to name a few. That said, I realized after taking stock of the nearly 300 songs I name-checked this past season that there were a few surprising omissions.
Perhaps these songs were too big or (more likely) expensive for their own good. Then again, that didn’t stop »

Todd Haynes to Direct Carol Starring Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska
22 May 2013 4:33 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Todd Haynes (I'm Not There, Far From Heaven) has signed on to direct Carol for Number 9, which has Cate Blanchett and Mia Wasikowska attached to star. The director's frequent collaborator Christine Vachon is also boarding the project as a producer.
We first reported on this drama last May, when John Carney (Once) was attached to direct. He has since had to back out, due to scheduling conflicts.
The story is an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novella "The Price of Salt," which follows the relationship between two women in 1950s New York. One is a young department store clerk (Mia Wasikowska) who dreams of a better life, and the other is a woman (Cate Blanchett) trapped in a loveless marriage. Playwright Phyllis Nagy wrote the screenplay adaptation.
Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley are producing alongside Christine Vachon. No production schedule was given.
Carol comes to theaters in 2014 and stars Cate Blanchett, »

Broadway Goes Pop
22 May 2013 6:39 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — There was a time when most of the songs played on the radio came from Broadway. Now some popular hit makers like Cyndi Lauper and Sting are finding it still feels like home.
"Look, they don't break your balls that much here," Lauper said of the experience of composing "Kinky Boots," her debut musical. "Know what I'm saying? They don't friggin' aggravate you as much."
More and more singer-songwriters from the pop world seem to be hearing that siren song: The trickle of pop and rock stars turning to the stage is fast becoming a flood.
Besides Sting and Lauper, stars such as Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Edie Brickell, David Byrne, Fatboy Slim, Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello and The Flaming Lips are making musicals.
The reasons are as varied as the different sounds those artists create: Broadway represents a new challenge. Or it offers »

The 20 Best Songs Written For Movies
7 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Everyone seems just as pumped for the Jay-z-produced soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" as they are for the flick itself. But before we look ahead at what The Hova has in store for what we can only imagine will be the coolest-ever soundtrack to something you were forced to read in high school, let's look back at some of the all-time great movie songs.
Feature by Adam D'Arpino
20. Three 6 Mafia: 'Hard Out Here For a Pimp' ('Hustle & Flow')
Three 6 Mafia took home the Oscar for Best Original Song for this jam that confirmed what we had all already suspected: Pimpin' ain't easy. Terrence Howard and Taryn Manning's performances in "Hustle & Flow" were stellar, but there's little doubt that Three 6 Mafia's Oscar appearance, combined with host Jon Stewart's verbal Oscar tally ("Three 6 Mafia 1, Martin Scorcese 0") is what everyone remembers most about the movie. »

Keira Knightley in talks to replace Anne Hathaway in 'Laggies'
6 May 2013 12:02 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
A wedding isn’t the only exciting news for Keira Knightley fans this week: The actress is in negotiations to play the female lead in the dark comedy Laggies, according to a rep for the film. The independent production, written by first-timer Andrea Seigel and directed by Lynn Shelton (Your Sister’s Sister), tells the story of a young woman who reacts to her boyfriend’s marriage proposal by pretending to go on a business retreat while she actually hunkers down with a new 16-year old friend (Chloë Grace Moretz). Anne Hathaway was originally on board for the lead but »

The Retro Appeal Of The Vine
30 April 2013 9:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This is the first in a series on technological disruptions in the entertainment industry. With this series, the Huffington Post will track the way television, film, and other institutions are shifting to accomodate innovations, and how these changes affect audiences.
Vines, videos made via the same-named Twitter application, pose big constraints to filmmakers: they can’t be edited once they’ve been shot, they play on loop, and they must be six seconds long.
And yet, the Tribeca Film Festival’s first-ever call for vines brought in a bounty. The winners chosen last week for $600 prizes in four categories -- Series, Genre, Auteur and Animated -- ranged from stop motion dramas to pulp horror scenes, each hinging on visual tricks to convey crucial plot information in the blink of an eye. (You can view the winners at the festival’s web site).

Insightful & Absorbing Trailer For ‘The Frames: In The Deep Shade’ Documentary
23 April 2013 2:17 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
They’re a lesser known band than some, but The Frames have inspired many musically throughout Ireland and outside of the UK and, for me, deserve a whole lot more recognition. They were founded in 1990 by Glen Hansard who you might remember for his role as Outspan Foster in the brilliant The Commitments but also more recently for his part in Once, in which Hansard and Markéta Irglová not only played the lead roles but they also wrote the songs. In fact, ‘Falling Slowly’ from Once won the Oscar at the 80th Academy Awards for Best Original Song and has also just started a stage run in the West End.
Today we wanted to share the truly engaging trailer for The Frames: In The Deep Shade, a documentary that’s described as “a poetic and visceral experience” and from this first look, you can feel the world that the band »

Hailee Steinfeld joins all-star cast of Tommy Lee Jones's 'The Homesman'

We haven't seen anything from Hailee Steinfeld since she scored a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination two years ago for her (leading) role in the Coen Brothers' "True Grit" -- but at just 16 years of age, she can afford to take her time. And whatever time she has lost, she's about to make up for in a big way. Steinfeld is set to appear in no fewer than five films this year, including roles in "Ender's Game," John Carney's "Once" follow-up "Can a Song Save Your Life?" and the umpteenth redo of "Romeo and Juliet" -- every generation needs its »

Glen Hansard, Iron & Wine's Sam Beam Enliven Crowd at Sayers Club

"You guys have the back catalog," said an amused Sam Beam to the audience at The Sayer’s Club in Hollywood on Friday night. The Iron & Wine frontman was without a prepared set list, so he fielded calls for tracks like "Woman King" and "Jesus the Mexican Boy" from his pre-Shepherd’s Dog albums. Story: Iron & Wine's Sam Beam Talks New Album 'Ghost on Ghost': 'I Felt Like Sinatra' The event -- organized by SoCal public radio affiliate Kcrw as an invite-only show -- paired Beam with Glen Hansard, the Oscar-winning Once songwriter.

Once the Musical: how I fell for its honesty
17 March 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Once was a surprise cinema hit – a micro-budget romance about an Irish busker and a Czech flower seller. Who better to adapt it for stage than self-confessed misanthrope Enda Walsh? The playwright recalls his journey from cynic to proud, emotional wreck
We don't do musicals in Ireland. Well, not much. We like to keep our actors and musicians separate at all times. In separate counties, even. There is possibly a musical theatre company hidden on Sherkin Island doing a production of Wicked right now, but they haven't been found yet. And when they do find them, it will be a heavy dose of Samuel Beckett for those grinning fools. Why break into song and dance to exorcise your inner emotions when you can talk yourself through it? Over the years, I've added my own fair share of words to Irish theatre. You can't help it as an Irish person. We talk. »
Deadpool’s Game Will Remain Critically Insane
8 March 2013 7:30 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
A recent PlayStation Blog post from the Game Director of Deadpool, Sean Miller, aims to shed light on the highly anticipated title by giving players insight into what it has been like developing a game for the Merc With A Mouth.
Every Deadpool fan knows the insanity that the character offers: guns, swords, bigger guns, and chimichangas. There is one thing, however, that makes him even more engaging, and it’s the fact that Deadpool knows he’s a comic character in his own game. Miller fleshes this idea out into greater context as he says, “[T]hat’s what makes Deadpool so unique. Deadpool is more than just the main character of the game – he’s the director. Every part of your experience, from action to narrative, is filtered through the warped, taco-fueled perspective of a protagonist who is certifiably crazycakes.”
Deadpool continually battles with the multiple personalities bursting out of his uniform, »

Oscar pool be darned! Which winners would make for the best television on Sunday night?
22 February 2013 12:42 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
With only 55 hours until the 84th annual Academy Awards, there is a subtle shift that takes place where the event suddenly becomes less about the movies we’re supposed to be celebrating and more about the television show itself. Who’s presenting? How will Seth MacFarlane be received? Will Sean Connery be part of the James Bond tribute? Who will be bleeped for profanity?
For months, I’ve debated the merits of the top films, and my choices for the major awards have been etched in cement that dried long before the Golden Globes were even handed out. Lincoln was »

"And the Oscar goes to…" Five words that will send nervous tingles through even the coolest of Hollywood customer. Winning an Academy Award can prompt tears of joy, euphoria, the desire to kiss whoever crosses your path or, in the case of Joe Pesci, extreme terseness.

DVD Review: Delightful Score Bolsters ‘Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best’
23 January 2013 9:22 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Amiable charm compensates for scattershot laughs in Ryan O’Nan’s directorial debut, “Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best.” There’s an undercurrent of tangible warmth that reverberates beneath O’Nan’s awkward assemblage of quirky gags and self-consciously clever dialogue. Though I spent much of the film on the fence, it eventually won me over.
There are few things more thrilling to watch in a film than two strangers connecting through their shared passion for music. That’s what happened in John Carney’s 2006 masterpiece, “Once,” as Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová brilliantly portrayed the spontaneity of an unrehearsed musical performance—allowing the Oscar-winning tune, “Falling Slowly,” to organically unfold before the audience like a blooming flower.
DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0
A similar sort of magic occurs about a half-hour into “Brooklyn Brothers,” as mismatched duo Alex (O’Nan) and Jim (Michael Weston) start to perform a tune while driving to their next gig. »
