DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Review: Trucker
10 October 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
By Erik Davis, reprinted from the Tribeca Film Festival 4/26/08
I was completely honest with actress Michelle Monaghan yesterday when I told her, right at the beginning of a one-on-one interview, that I'd been waiting a long time to watch her come alive in a role. In her relatively short career, Monaghan has already racked up quite the resume -- appearing in films like Mission Impossible III, Gone Baby Gone, The Bourne Supremacy, The Heartbreak Kid and Made of Honor. She's got a great, girl-next-door quality about her, but is she memorable? The good news here is that Monaghan finally delivered the sort of performance I've known was trapped somewhere inside her, hidden behind a variety of big, flashy Hollywood films. Make no mistake, this is her film. She owns it. But is that enough to convince you to see it?
In Trucker, she plays Diane, a female truck driver with »

'Trucker': Heart-Shaped Box, By Kurt Loder

Michelle Monaghan breaks through into Oscar territory.

After eight years of solid supporting work, and an especially memorable co-starring turn opposite Casey Affleck in the 2007 "Gone Baby Gone," Michelle Monaghan has finally been put at the center of a movie, where she belongs. She doesn't leap at the role — the picture is too modestly scaled to withstand a full-glow starburst — but she inhabits it completely.
In "Trucker," Monaghan plays Diane Ford, who makes her way in life as a long-distance truck driver. ("That's a weird job for a woman," someone tells her. "Why?" she asks.) Diane is serious about her work; it's a good fit for her no-strings lifestyle. Her sexual encounters are strictly one-nighters, over as quickly as she can hurry back into her jeans. Her house in a shabby California desert town is almost paid off, and between jobs hauling freight, »
Vaughn 'Psyched' About Marriage
8 October 2009 9:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Vince Vaughn is "psyched" about losing his status as one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors, insisting he's ready to marry fiancee Kyla Webber.
After years of singledom, punctuated by romances with Jennifer Aniston and Joey Lauren Adams, Vaughn has settled down with Canadian real estate agent Webber, who he proposed to on Valentine's Day.
Vaughn turns 40 next year and insists he's finally ready for change.
He says, "I met her through a friend, which was nice. And she's a civilian, which is good.
"I'm excited. It's all going to change. I'm psyched about it." »
Tribeca Takes:[p]James Mottern on Trucker
5 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
James Mottern's film Trucker (Tff 2008) will be released in select cities this Friday. A truly independent film, Trucker was shot in just 19 days, and stars Michelle Monaghan, Benjamin Bratt, Joey Lauren Adams, and Nathan Fillion. Tribeca Film asked Mottern to give us his take on the state of independent film today. James Mottern: Filmmaking the Hard Way When you make an independent film, you wonder if anyone will go and see it. You wonder if anyone will like it. And people tell you why people will or won't go see it, and people tell you why people will or won't like it. They also tell you there is no money, no time, a bad economy, fewer distributors; they tell you how you should make your film so more people will go see it, or more people will like it; they tell you certain movies cannot be made anymore »
Just Like That Monaghan's a Truckin' Into the Oscar Race
25 August 2009 1:43 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Photo: Monterey Media Last night a press release arrived in what appears to be most everyone's inbox announcing the October 9 limited release of Monterey Media's Trucker starring Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang) as Diane Ford, a young truck driver, who leads a carefree life of long-haul trucking, one night stands and all-night drinking until the evening her estranged 11-year-old son shows up at her door. Already Awards Daily and In Contention have grasped onto the film's potential to bring Monaghan an Oscar nomination as even the press release that was sent out says the October release puts "it right into the middle of the Fall awards season." Written and directed by James Mottern, the film co-stars Nathan Fillion, Benjamin Bratt, Jimmy Bennett and Joey Lauren Adams. Is it possible this film could come out of nowhere and earn a nomination? Your damn right it is. »

Joey Lauren Adams falls for Buck on "United States of Tara"
5 August 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy was one of the first "lesbian" movies I had ever seen. It was 1997, when Ben Affleck was Jennifer-less and Jason Lee had yet to be named Earl. And Joey Lauren Adams was an actress with a sexy, raspy voice who was not afraid to play gay on screen.
Even though she falls for Affleck in the film, she ends up back with a woman, so it's not a terrible portrait of lesbianism or, perhaps, bisexuality. And now Adams will have another chance at sexual ambiguity on Showtime's United States of Tara, playing a woman who falls for Buck, Tara's male alter-ego.
Wow, gender bending can be so confusing.
When Tara (Toni Collette) is Buck, she's a man's man who hunts, drinks, swears and misogynist. On the second season of the series, Buck will end up meeting bartender Pammy (Adams), who EW reports is "warm and »

Looks like love is in the air for Toni Collette's male alter on United States of Tara.

Kevin Smith Gets A Little Help From Jason Lee For His ‘Dicks’
29 June 2009 1:29 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
With all the talk about how Kevin Smith is finally directing someone else's writing and how that might possibly be a 1) disaster or b) a resurgence of energy that shows another set of directing skills besides filming Jason Mewes saying "snootch to the nootch," there's been a surprising lack of talk surrounding his cast. Probably because he thinned out his regulars for Zack and Miri Make a Porno, although he kept in Jason Mewes thrusting into Katie Morgan while desperately resisting the urge to say "snootch to the nootch." Now, Smith is getting some familiar help from an old friend for his upcoming A Couple of Dicks. According to /film, Smith announced on Kevin Pollak's Live Show that Jason Lee would be joining the cast. Thankfully, someone out there is listening to Kevin Pollak. This is no doubt great news for Smith fans who love seeing his same players in every film. I »
