Michael C. from Serious Film here for a few good laughs.
Any future film historians examining the tail end of 2010 will likely mark this year as dark days for screen comedy. Comedy icons Woody Allen and James L Brooks rolled twin gutter balls, while mainstream audiences lined up around the block to watch the star of Taxi Driver do 98 minutes of boner jokes. As if to rub salt in the wound, the Golden Globes saw fit to nominate an inexplicable slate of comedies that were, with few exceptions, unfunny, unexceptional, or in some cases downright awful.
Still, if you managed to look beyond the large pile of high profile duds there were plenty of laughs to be had in 2010. So here for your consideration is the year in comedy. Not the best movies overall, »

Film Feature: The Top Overlooked Films of 2010
28 December 2010 7:55 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Some films never get a fair shot with audiences. They open in a handful of art house theaters scattered throughout the country before inconspicuously landing on DVD. Passionate movie lovers are left with the task of championing these unjustly obscure titles and helping them to acquire the audience they deserve. Before I reveal my picks for the top five films of 2010 that you probably didn’t see, here are the 10 runners-up.
“Agora”
Photo credit: Lionsgate
The feisty, ever-questioning spirit of Carl Sagan is alive and well in Alejandro Amenabar’s fascinating and haunting historical epic. “Agora” functions as somewhat of an antithesis to “Passion of the Christ,” portraying the ancient ideological battles between Pagans and Christians with complexity, intelligence and a refusal to exploit its inherent violence. Rachel Weisz is at the peak of her radiance as Hypatia, a female scholar specializing in astronomy, philosophy and common sense. »

2011 Buzz Spotlight on Sigourney Weaver
26 December 2010 11:23 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
In 2011, Academy Award winning actor Sigourney Weaver, most known for her role as Ellen Ripley in Alien (and the subsequent sequels Aliens and Alien 3), will be having her strongest year in film since 2008. Weaver will be starring in six films including: Cedar Rapids as Macy Vanderhei, Paul as Tara, The Cold Light of Day, Vamps as Cisserus, Abduction as Dr. Bennett, and Rampart. She is also rumored to return to the Ghostbusters franchise as Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters III in 2012.
As far as comedies go, Cedar Rapids will be her top film to look out for, which also stars John C. Reilly (Cyrus, Terri), Ed Helms (The Hangover Part II) and Anne Heche (Hung). The film is about a naive Midwesterner insurance salesman who travels to a big-city convention to save the jobs of his co-workers.

Michael Andrews To Score Judd Apatow-Produced, Paul Feig-Directed Comedy 'Bridesmaids'
23 December 2010 9:06 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The name might not be familiar, but you've definitely heard his work. Michael Andrews has been tapped to compose the score for the upcoming Judd Apatow-produced, Paul Feig-directed comedy, "Bridesmaids." While he may not be as instantly recognized as Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer or James Newton Howard (yet) Andrews has composed for a number of notable films including "Donnie Darko," "Me And You And Everyone We Know," "Cyrus," and "Funny People." He most certainly got to know both Apatow and Feig back-in-the-day when he lent his skills to both "Undeclared" and "Freaks & Geeks." A comedy that we're greatly anticipating,… »
10 Overlooked Films of 2010
21 December 2010 3:46 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
If there is anything that I love doing as a film buff, it is recommending overlooked films. Films that, for whatever reason, did not get a fair shot in theatres but are worth seeking out. They may not have played at a lot of places or their runs might have been cut short due to financial reasons. Whatever the reason is, these are those little buried gems that you want to promote to all your friends. These ten films, in no particular order, are films that you will not be seeing on most year end lists, with the exception of one film. However they are all deserve a chance, if not in the theatres, than on DVD.
Directed by Alejandro Amenabar
Movies about ideas rarely get any play in this marketplace so it would have been silly to think that Alejandro Amenabar’s ambitious film would get a wide release. »

Blu-Ray Review: John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill Rule in ‘Cyrus’
21 December 2010 1:15 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill (and Marisa Tomei and Catherine Keener) prove to be a perfect comedy duo in the nearly-great “Cyrus,” a delightfully left-of-center comedy that allows these two talented men to prove that they have some of the best comic timing in the business. “Cyrus” is a daring comedy about when someone new in your life crosses the line from “eccentric” to “dangerous.” Don’t miss it.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
Reilly stars as John, a sad, lonely man trying to put his life back together and realizing that one of the new puzzle pieces doesn’t quite fit. John gets drunk at parties and tells people about his depression. Strangely, his honesty and vulnerability draws him to the gorgeous Molly (Marisa Tomei), someone used to dealing with people who may need a bit more emotional attention than others because of her fragile son Cyrus (Jonah Hill).

DVD Playhouse December 2010
By
Allen Gardner
America Lost And Found: The Bbs Story (Criterion) Perhaps the best DVD box set released this year, this ultimate cinefile stocking stuffer offered up by Criterion, the Rolls-Royce of home video labels, features seven seminal works from the late ‘60s-early ‘70s that were brought to life by cutting edge producers Bert Schneider, Steve Blauner and director/producer Bob Rafelson, the principals of Bbs Productions. In chronological order: Head (1968) star the Monkees, the manufactured (by Rafelson, et al), American answer to the Beatles who, like it or not, did make an impact on popular culture, particularly in this utterly surreal piece of cinematic anarchy (co-written by Jack Nicholson, who has a cameo), which was largely dismissed upon its initial release, but is now regarded as a counterculture classic. Easy Rider (1969) is arguably regarded as the seminal ‘60s picture, about two hippie drug dealers (director Dennis Hopper »

Cyrus
18 December 2010 10:43 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Starring: Jonah Hill, John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Catherine Keener
Director: Jay and Mark Duplass
The Scoop: Reilly is John, whose social life is a total downer until he meets Molly (Tomei). Sparks fly immediately and soon they’re embarking on a romantic journey. Just one major roadblock – Molly’s son Cyrus (Hill). The 21-year-old is ultra-protective of his mom and has no intentions of sharing her attention with another man. Reilly once again makes domestic disputes utterly hilarious.

Cyrus – Blu-ray
16 December 2010 8:54 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Blu-ray Review
Directed by: Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass
Cast: John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill
Running Time: 1 hr 30 min
Rating: R
Due Out: December 14, 2010
Plot: A lonely divorced man (Reilly) meets a fun, beautiful woman (Tomei). The catch, her weird, adult son Cyrus (Hill) is determined to break them up.
Who’S It For? Despite the actors in the title roles, this isn’t a typical comedy. Though funny at times, it’s also dramatic and kind of mature, though the characters aren’t always.
Movie:
Cyrus tries to sell itself as a comedy, especially in the trailer. Though some parts are funny, I’d consider it more of a drama. It tells the story of three people who have trouble connecting, for various reasons; a mother and son who are so insular she hasn’t even had a boyfriend in years and a divorced man who »

Jonah Hill Aims To Bring John C. Reilly Down In An Exclusive Clip From The 'Cyrus' DVD
15 December 2010 2:02 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Nothing smacks of the holidays like some good old-fashioned family bonding -- sitting around the hearth, swapping stories, sipping egg nog, reminiscing about glorious times gone by... and plotting each others' demise. Ok, so the "plotting each others' demise" part probably isn't true for most families, but it sure is for the dysfunctional little unit comprised of John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill in the black comedy "Cyrus."
Hill plays the titular Cyrus, a manchild with a serious Oedipus complex and an even more serious hatred for any man that so much as looks at his beautiful mother Molly (Tomei). So when Molly begins dating goofball divorcee John (Reilly), things get a bit -- and by a bit we mean extremely -- weird, uncomfortable and potentially dangerous, as Cyrus attempts to sabotage the relationship at every turn. The above exclusive clip highlights the aforementioned dynamic beautifully, with Cyrus »

Cyrus and 5 Other Disturbing Mother-Son Teams

Mumblecore mavens the Duplass Brothers got raves for their first relatively mainstream effort, this summer's Cyrus (out on DVD this week from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment). But while this comedy -- starring Jonah Hill as an overgrown mama's boy who tries to sabotage mom Marisa Tomei's burgeoning relationship with schlubby John C. Reilly -- goes to some wonderfully squirmy places, it fits into a longstanding tradition of moms and sons who are too close for comfort. Ahead, five other worrisome mother-son pairings. »

This Week in DVD & Blu-ray: The A-Team, The Other Guys, The Town, Despicable Me, Legend of the Guardians, Cyrus, and More
15 December 2010 10:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
This Week in DVD & Blu-ray is a column that compiles all the latest info regarding new DVD and Blu-ray releases, sales, and exclusive deals from stores including Target, Best Buy and Fry’s. Exit Through The Gift Shop Describing the engrossing, frequently hilarious Banksy-directed Exit Through the Gift Shop as one of the best story-driven documentaries I've ever seen would almost certainly be misleading, as its veracity has been a point of contention since its Sundance premiere. To delve into the topic further would require detailing plot details that I'd be remiss to give away, so I'll just say this: The strength of the film is that whether or not it's authentic doesn't matter. The ultimate take-away from the picture comes from a place of complete truth, and that truth only resonates in the way that it does because the story was told in this form. Not only does »

New this Week: ‘Tron: Legacy,’ ‘The Fighter’ and ‘Hard Boiled (Bd)’
15 December 2010 7:00 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
The Fighter – Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams
How Do You Know – Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson
Tron: Legacy – Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde
Yogi Bear – Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, Anna Faris
Movie of the Week
The Stars: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde
The Plot: Sam Flynn (Hedlund), the son of Kevin Flynn (Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the electronic world where his father has been living for the past 25 years.
The Buzz: This film has been more than adequately promoted, especially here in cyber-space, which is all very appropriate. The film’s original teaser was released eons ago, which has allowed for a tidal wave of anticipatory energy to build up, day after marketable day. The question now is: Will Tron: Legacy live up to the hype? My bet is that it will — that is, »

14 December 2010 5:15 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
We've got quite a few big releases trying to sneak onto store shelves just in time for Christmas this week, as The A-Team, The Other Guys, Despicable Me and Nanny McPhee Returns are all hoping to become potential stocking stuffers. Also getting a late release on Friday is Ben Affleck's The Town in a new extended cut, plus Zack Snyder's animated owl fantasy Legend of the Guardians. Some noteworthy indie releases include The Duplass Brothers' Cyrus starring John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Micmacs, and of course, Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop, which continues to win awards for being one of the best documentaries of the year. If that's not enough, you can also catch up on the original True Grit on Blu-ray before seeing The Coen Brothers' remake a couple weeks from now. Will you be buying or renting anything this week? »

Film Feature: The Best Supporting Performances of 2010
14 December 2010 12:16 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It started with the best lead performances of 2010 yesterday and now we naturally move on to many of the stars who made those lead turns possible. For what is a great lead performance without the supporting ones that got it there? These were the MVPs of 2010 who may have allowed others to take the spotlight but also made it shine so much brighter.
The Best Supporting Actor Performances of 2010
Many of the great supporting performances of 2010 came from the same films as strong ensembles ruled the year. Whether it was the men of “The Social Network” (including runner-ups Armie Hammer and Justin Timberlake along with a man you’ll find in the “big five” further down the list), the supporting team of “Inception” (with underrated work from Joseph-Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy), the spectacular ensemble of “True Grit” (Matt Damon, Barry Pepper, and Josh Brolin, who was also »

Film Feature: The Best Lead Performances of 2010
13 December 2010 11:29 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It’s the time of year when critics and Oscar pundits like to take a look back at the performances of the last twelve months and pick out the ones most deserving of special citation. As every critics group in the country prepares to unveil their choices for the cream of the acting crop, we thought we’d offer a guide to who they should reflect upon, first in the lead actor and actress categories and then, later this week, in the supporting ones.
The Best Lead Actor Performances of 2010
The very best of the best may be crowded with amazing performances to the degree that picking just five is difficult but the pool gets shallow awful quickly as you swim further away from the deep end. The fact is that while there were a number of truly stellar leading male turns in 2010, it certainly isn’t a long »
