We're getting to know The Film Experience community one-by-one. Today we're talking to Morgan Borthwick from New Zealand. We've never been but it's on our brains due to Jane Campion's stunning miniseries "Top of the Lake". Here's Morgan.
Hi, Morgan. Do you love Jane Campion? (Please note: There is only one correct answer to this question)
Morgan: Of course! She understands film is as much art as it is storytelling and I could rhapsodise all day about her many gifts. As a director, I love what she does with her actresses, particularly Barbara Hershey who is beyond superlatives in Portrait of a Lady, Abby Cornish in Bright Star and Elizabeth Moss in Top of the Lake, making me forget Peggy of Mad Men ever existed. She should have two best director nominations by now at least, but that's a gripe for another time about the academy and their "we've nominated you once, »

Lizzy Caplan has been a very busy bridesmaid onscreen this past year. She was brilliantly funny in Bachelorette as one member of that film’s ensemble of truly crazy, catty ladies; as Gena, she spent her screen time getting high on copious amounts of coke, spouting eerily accurate monologues about sex and loneliness, and reigniting her relationship with the equally charismatic Adam Scott. However, as Sarah in Save the Date, Caplan doesn’t elicit laughs so much as confusion from the audience, mainly because the character is so confused herself.

In less than a month, the broadcast networks will be announcing which new series they're picking up for the 2013-14 season. Zap2it can't wait for that, though, so this week we're doing a series of pilot previews.
In addition to this gallery of 22 shows we hope the networks order to series, we're also going to take a closer look at pilot scripts from each of the networks. While a lot can change between now and a series premiere, and these are by no means full reviews, we hope to offer some insight at some of the projects the networks are considering this spring.
In Zap2it's 2012 pilot preview gallery, we flagged the comedy "Super Fun Night" as one of the shows we hoped CBS would order. That didn't happen, but ABC grabbed the rights to creator-star Rebel Wilson's show and revamped it, switching the format from multi-camera to »

Comedy movie Frankie Go Boom proves one thing: Ron Perlman (Conan the Barbarian) does not make an attractive woman.
Written and directed by Jordan Roberts (Around the Bend), the film tells the story of Frankie (Charlie Hunnam, TV’s Sons of Anarchy), who has been tortured and humiliated by his brother Bruce (Chris O’Dowd, This is 40) his entire life by posting videos of Frankie online. Finally Bruce goes too far, uploading a video of a disastrous one-night stand with the inebriated daughter (Lizzy Caplan, Bachelorette) of a loose-cannon ex-movie star. To try to undo the damage, the brothers enlist the help of Bruce’s transsexual computer hacking friend (Perlman).
Chris Noth (Sex and the City 2) also stars in Frankie Go Boom, which got so-so reviews from critics. MSN Movies critic Kathleen Murphy said, “Though deliciously rude and crude, »

Exclusive: Adult Swim has greenlighted a pilot for live-action quarter-hour comedy Hole To Hole, co-created/executive produced by South Park alumna Pam Brady and Chelsea Lately panelist Arden Myrin (MadTV). Myrin will also star in the project, a parody of 1980s detective shows (the title does sound like a riff on Hart To Hart). It follows the fabulous exploits of Ashleigh and Amelia Dangerhole, America’s sexiest billionaire detectives. Brady, repped by Mosaic, UTA and Robert Offer, was a longtime staff writer on South Park. She co-wrote the movies South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and Team America: World Police and wrote Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg.

After two hit seasons on the Internet, the "Burning Love" franchise is ready to move to new ground. The "Bachelor/Bachelorette" parody will taken on "Bachelor Pad" for Season 3 this spring. The result? "Burning Down the House."
Much like the "Bachelor"-based horror that inspired it, "Burning Down the House" features all of your favorite (?) former contestants vying for a huge cash prize. That would be a whopping $900. This is, after all, a web series. They work with lower budgets.
What antics can we expect from "Burning Down the House"? The former stars of the first two seasons -- Mark Orlando (Ken Marino) and Julie Gristlewhite (June Diane Raphael) are back and planning to dominate the losers around them. But can they beat the men and women they once rejected?
The new season of "Burning Love" begins soon, on April 12. Why the rush? "We are excited to release this season »

Kirsten Dunst was only 11 when she took a role in Interview with the Vampire opposite Tom Cruise (Sexiest Man Alive, ’90) and Brad Pitt (Sexiest Man Alive, ’95). Playing an immortal child-vampire with an eerie maturity, Dunst actually got to kiss Pitt during filming. You would have thought that this would have made her feel like the luckiest little girl in the whole gosh darn world. But in an interview with Bullett magazine, Dunst reveals that kiss was “just a peck,” and it wasn’t even a particularly memorable peck. “Everyone at the time was like, ‘You’re so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt, »

Isla Fisher says her marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen isn't 'normal'. The 'Bachelorette' actress claims being married to the controversial comedian means she constantly worries about his safety as well as their financial well-being because of the risky nature of his films. She laughed: 'It's definitely not a normal relationship. You know there have been times in the past with the guerrilla style film making of 'Borat' and 'Bruno' where there were surreal conversations, 'How many people are suing us? Are you wanted in any states? Are you alive?' ' The couple have their hands full raising daughters Olive, five, and Elula, two, and Isla admits her family is now a priority over landing major film roles because being a »

You might be asking yourself who is Rebel Wilson, and it would be a valid question because until recently, she was a nobody. But then she did Bridesmaids, and then Bachelorette and then Pitch Perfect and she’s also going to be in Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain, so now she’s a somebody and if this recent news story turns out to be true, she might be a big deal in the near future.
In a recent interview, the actress let slip that she may make an appearance in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. When she was asked whether she would be involved in the next film in the series, she replied with the following:
“Um, seriously, I have had a meeting about being in The Hunger Games. Yes. [T]here aren’t a lot of roles open, because they’ve all already been cast, but that would be awesome, »

Comedienne Rebel Wilson's star is quickly on the rise. After being introduced to American audiences with a small role playing Matt Lucas' sister in Paul Feig's Bridesmaids, she has managed to pick up bigger and bigger parts in movies like Bachelorette, Struck By Lightning and What To Expect When You're Expecting. Her big break, however, came late last year in the a cappella comedy Pitch Perfect. While the movie was critically praised as a whole, many saw Wilson as the best part of the film. And now it seems she may be parlaying that praise into a role in one of the biggest franchises going. With the actress set to host this year's MTV Movie Awards, Wilson recently sat down with BuzzFeed for an interview, and over the course of the conversation revealed that she has actually been having discussions about a possible role in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, »

You can read our review here, and check out the film's red band trailer here.

Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Zero Dark Thirty" What's It About? Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow documents the recent history we're all too familiar with in this action blockbuster retelling of the manhunt for Osama bin Laden. See It Because: It's an intense and thrilling recreation of events you already know about, but still manages to keep you guessing; and while the film has earned its fair share of controversy, it's worth watching as a snapshot of a very unique time in American history. Moviefone's Blu-ray Pick of the Week "Badlands" Criterion Collection What's It About? Before he became "that 'Tree of Life' guy" Terrence Malick changed filmmaking forever with his directorial breakthrough starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as two young lovers who embark on a cross-country killing spree. See It Because: If you know what Blu-ray does for beautiful cinematography and what Criterion does for historical archiving, then this should be a no-brainer. »

Hello, lovelies. Beau here, hoping you all have had a fantastic weekend. Whether that involved arguing over the season finale of Girls, shielding your eyes from Halle Berry’s hair in The Call, or just readying yourselves for the onslaught of leprechauns and green colored ale that is St. Patrick's Day, I hope it’s been an enjoyable one before heading back into the work week.
A lot has been said about Lena Dunham and Girls. I don’t have a strong desire at this point to rehash the plot details and synopses of the past episode or the entire season for that matter (though I did that for the finale of season one). But, for myself, being an avid viewer of Girls and eagerly anticipating the next step in Ms. Dunham’s career, the most discomforting element of all the criticism and controversy surrounding the show is that there »
