Wilford Brimley, the unlikely character actor who brought both curmudgeonry and geniality to films like Cocoon, The China Syndrome, The Natural and Tender Mercies, has died at the age of 85.

Brimley’s agent Lynda Bensky confirmed to the New York Times that the actor had been sick for two months with kidney ailments; the actor — a longtime spokesperson for Liberty Medical — had been diabetic since the Seventies.

Wilford Brimley, ‘The Natural’ and ‘Cocoon’ Star, Dies at 85
Image
Wilford Brimley, best known for his roles in “The Natural,” the 1982 remake of “The Thing,” “The Firm” and “Cocoon,” died on Saturday. He was 85.

His agent, Lynda Bensky, told The New York Times that he had been sick with a kidney problem for two months.

Brimley was also famous for the series of commercials for Quaker Oats in which he appeared.

Pauline Kael ably summed up his appeal in a few words. Reviewing “Cocoon” for the New Yorker in 1985, she said, “Wilford Brimley, with his walrus mustache and friendly belly, brings an ornery impudence to his role.”

Brimley, who seemed to enter old age several decades ago, appeared perfectly at home in the Ron Howard-directed movie about senior citizens unintentionally rejuvenated by an alien life force in the pool where they do water aerobics even though he was only 51 at the time.

Review: "My Fellow Americans" (1996) Starring Jack Lemmon And James Garner; Warner Archive DVD Release
Image
By Lee Pfeiffer

American ex-Presidents occupy a unique place in society. They represent the smallest, most elite club on earth. Each of the living ex-Presidents has known the bizarre ritual that results from transforming from the most powerful person on earth to someone with absolutely no legal powers in the amount of time it takes the new President to swear to the oath of allegiance. An incumbent President in a deeply divided nation can consider themselves to be successful if poll numbers show they left office with an approval rate of the mid-40s or higher. However, the best way a President can make poll ratings soar is to simply leave office. Traditionally the American people, and the world at large, views ex-Presidents from a saner, more nuanced viewpoint and inevitably their reputations improve with time, largely because they are mostly seen doing good deeds and raising money for charities.

Fall TV Preview: The 17 Most Anticipated Comedies of 2016
Care (2013)
“Mary + Jane”

September 5 on MTV

What Is It? From the writer/directors behind the cult favorite “Josie and the Pussycats” adaptation, this series follows two “ganjapeneurs” who run a weed delivery service in Los Angeles.

I’ll Like It If I Like… The “Broad City” influence is pretty clear, as the show is focused on the tight friendship between Jordan (Scout Durwood) and Paige (Jessica Rothe) and their stoner antics.

Why Should I Care? Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont’s unique approach to satirizing La hipster culture really help this show stand out from the pack of other female-led comedies, while also promising a more surreal touch. Durwood and Rothe also make for an enjoyable pairing. For fans of the pot comedy genre, it’s an easy sell.

Melania Trump Plagiarizes ‘Fresh Prince,’ Dr. Seuss in ‘Late Show’ Sketch (Video)
Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert offered his viewers more fun at the expense of Melania Trump on Tuesday’s “Late Show,” airing a sketch in which the wife of the Gop presidential nominee gives another speech about how she absolutely did not plagiarize her speech at the Republican National Convention. “My fellow Americans, This is truly the best of times; it is the worst of times,” Melania, played by actress Laura Benanti (“Supergirl”), says in the parody pulling from classic literature, TV theme songs and even commercial jingles. “I did not plagiarize my speech last night.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep (2012)
A review of tonight's Veep coming up just as soon as I'm selling a young adult fiction novel about an alternate timeline... Well, that was not what I was expecting. At all. To the point where I briefly wondered if HBO had played us all for suckers and aired the Veep series finale without telling anyone in advance. They haven't, by the way. Not only was the show renewed back in April, but I've confirmed with someone at HBO that the renewal (which came with similar orders for Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley) wasn't an elaborate ruse to keep people from realizing the show was about to end. Veep will be back next year, but with a huge difference: Selina won't be the president anymore. Nor will she go back to being the vice-president. She will be an ex-potus, for however long the series runs past next season. I...

Her daughter, Leslie Bogart, said the family was not sharing any additional information at this time.

The 89-year-old actress has appeared in more than sixty films over her career and was best known for her distinctive smoky voice. Smart, sultry and witty - she was a beauty with brains and a devastating wit, always a highly assertive and sassy on screen presence who classed up every film she was in.

R.I.P. James Garner
Legendary actor James Garner has died at the age of 86.  TMZ reports that an ambulance was sent to the actor's Los Angeles home on Sunday but he was dead when they arrived. The distinctively voiced actor reportedly died of natural causes.

With more than five decades of projects under his belt, Garner was one of those rare actors who had an equally successful career in both television and movies. 

On TV he was in not one but two iconic roles as the title characters in 1950s western-comedy "Maverick" and 1970s detective drama "The Rockford Files". He subsequently appeared in the 1994 "Maverick" film as the father of Mel Gibson's younger Maverick lead.

He also starred in over fifty films including many iconic titles like "The Great Escape," "Grand Prix," "Victor/Victoria," "The Americanization of Emily," "Marlowe," "Hour of the Gun," "Up Periscope," "The Art of Love," "The Fan," "Barbarians at the Gate,...

Indeed, a recent Broadway revival starred a cast of Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams and Cuba Gooding, Jr. and was even made into a TV movie for Lifetime earlier this year.

But for many years, Foote resisted the idea of bringing his play to the silver screen. Director Peter Masterson was able to convince the Texan writer. Esteemed actress Geraldine Page (Sweet Bird of Youth, Hondo) went on to win an Oscar for her lead role of Carrie Watts in the resulting 1985 movie.

Mrs. Watts, a 60-year-old widow, lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Houston with her son Ludie (John Heard, Home Alone, My Fellow Americans) and daughter-in-law Jessie Mae (Carlin Glynn, Sixteen Candles, Three Days of the Condor). She fondly remembers days...

Visiting the set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past
Feature Ryan Lambie 21 Feb 2014 - 06:10

Last June, we were lucky enough to visit the set of X-Men Days Of Future Past and chat to some of the cast and crew. Here's what happened...

Nb: This article contains very mild spoilers for X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Opposite and a little way to my left, Richard Nixon sits happily eating his lunch. Well, not the real Richard Nixon, obviously, but Mark Camacho, an actor so cunningly made up to look like the infamous Us President circa 1973 - complete with architectural nose and hairline - that it’s impossible not to stare. We’re sitting in the canteen tent of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, where tables have been arranged in long rows, one after the other, so the place looks like Da Vinci’s The Last Supper multiplied in a hall of mirrors.

Gif of Joe Biden's State of the Union Face Delights Internet
Dan Aykroyd, Jack Lemmon, and James Garner in My Fellow Americans (1996)
My fellow Americans, the state of the union is ... totally GIFable. While Barack Obama presented a modest policy agenda in his annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, the President's thunder was stolen by the personality sitting just above his right shoulder: Vice President Joe Biden, whose cartoonish facial expressions distracted and delighted the viewing populace. Here's one example of Biden bringing his alter-ego "Diamond Joe" to life: Elsewhere in the night, Biden encouraged Speaker of the House John Boehner to take a bow after Obama praised his rise from bartender's son to leader of the Congressional Republicans.

De Niro and Stallone on Three 'Grudge Match' Retro Boxing Posters
Following an entertaining first trailer for the boxing comedy Grudge Match starring screen icons Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and Robert De Niro (Raging Bull), a batch of posters have shown up taking an obvious but satisfying cue from the sport's history. De Niro and Stallone each get their own retro boxing posters, just like the old days before a big fight took place. And the theatrical poster for the film uses a similar style, but makes it a little more glossy with a vintage touch. Honestly, even Kevin Hart looks like he's not going to ruin this movie, and it might get Tommy Boy director Peter Segal out of the gutter. Look! Here are the new posters for Peter Segal's Grudge Match from Imp Awards: Grudge Match is directed by Peter Segal (Tommy Boy, My Fellow Americans, 50 First Dates) with a script from "Entourage" creator Doug Ellin and "Late Show with David Letterman...

Watch: Sly Stallone vs. Robert De Niro in First 'Grudge Match' Trailer
"Time to train." Warner Bros has debuted the first official trailer for the movie Grudge Match, starring Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro as old timer boxers (Rocky and Raging Bull, but of course) who end up fighting each other one last time in a grudge match for the title. This plays much more like a broad mainstream comedy with supporting actors like Kevin Hart and Alan Arkin knocking out a few jokes throughout. This isn't exactly the triumphant return of these two greats in any kind of dramatic "they're back!" way, but it looks like a lot of fun. I'll probably be seeing it. Give it a look and tell us what you think? Here's the first official trailer for Peter Segal's Grudge Match, direct from Warner Bros' YouTube: Grudge Match is directed by Peter Segal (Tommy Boy, My Fellow Americans, 50 First Dates) with a script from "Entourage...

First Look: Kevin Hart Annoys Stallone & De Niro in 'Grudge Match'
Way back in 2010 was when news first surfaced of the film Grudge Match. Tommy Boy and 50 First Dates director Peter Segal is behind the camera for the film, and we couldn't believe that Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) were in the running to play two bitter boxing rivals who are coaxed back into the ring for a grudge match 50 years after they fought for the title. But the actors were confirmed last summer, the film was greenlit last fall, and now the comedy is coming on Christmas Day this year. A first look photo has surfaced with our leads annoyed with fight promoter Kevin Hart. Look below! Here's the first photo from Peter Segal's Grudge Match from Warner Bros.

President Obama Thrills Crowds At Inauguration Parade
President Obama’s Inauguration on Jan. 21 was filled with moments of joy, patriotism and stunning fashion, but nothing was more thrilling for the citizens lining the streets of Washington than the Presidential Parade!

President Barack Obama waved and blew kisses to the crowd that was intently watching the parade! On the 1.2 mile journey from the Capitol to The White House, President Obama stayed in his car for the majority of the time but walked in the open twice with First Lady Michelle Obama. Once, in the middle of the route and again at the end of the route. Security was tight, with citizens lining only one side of the street.

Highlights From Obama’s Inaugural Address

During the President’s Inauguration Speech, he spoke on equal rights, the shooting at Sandy Hook, climate change, and more! Here are some highlights:
