TV Bites: Donny and Whitney
25 November 2009 6:30 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
· So it took nine long seasons (and an under-the-table deal that Tom Bergeron will only drive an I Look to You-skinned batmobile until 2012) but Dancing With the Stars finally convinced pop-gospel legend Whitney Houston to sing her career-making single, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" on last night's season finale. The strained performance (after the jump) did not move winner Donny Osmond enough to warrant a bouquet of purple roses and a private "Puppy Love" serenade, but it did upstage Cloris Leachman and Steve Wozniak's Mambo redux.
Oprah storms the White House, Fox is predicted to win November sweeps, and more TV Bites after the jump. »

Competitors NFL stars Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice both were handed mini disco ball rings, after a dance off. Read on for more!

22 November 2009 2:00 AM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
Amaryllis Theatre Company opens its 2009-2010 season with Samuel Beckett's masterpiece, Waiting for Godot, from November 10 through 22 at Amaryllis Theatre Company's home in The Playground at the Adrienne (2030 Sansom Street).
Performances are at 7:00 on Tuesdays and Opening Night, November 11; at 8:00 on Wednesdays through Fridays except Opening; and at 2:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, widely considered the most significant play of the 20th Century, centers around two men who are waiting for someone (or something) named Godot who may (or may not) ever arrive. Beckett's landmark drama, by turns lyrical and earthly, profound and comic, poses essential questions about the meaning of our existence in an absurd universe. »

We've got a treat for all you RuPaul's Drag Race fans out there—a glimpse at the season 2 cast!

Cast Added For The Hilary Duff Bonnie And Clyde Movie
17 November 2009 1:18 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's been a good couple of months since we heard casting news about The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, the movie that will star Hilary Duff as the historical figure once portrayed by Faye Dunaway, and may ruin cinematic history in the process. In case you were hoping that meant the whole thing was off, no such luck-- Screen Daily is reporting that Thora Birch, Taryn Manning and Cloris Leachman have been added to the cast, and filming will start soon enough in the South. They're not saying which characters the three ladies will be portraying, but presumably neither of them will start a feud with Dunaway the way Duff did when the project was first announced. Birch, of course, is well-remembered as the teenage daughter in American Beauty and Enid from Ghost World, but hasn't had a major movie role since the early part of this decade. Not sure »
'Young@Heart' Sings Its Way to Narrative Film
16 November 2009 7:32 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Remember that super-cute and super-rocking senior documentary Young@Heart, which hit screens last year? It's becoming a feature film, and The Hollywood Reporter posts that Working Title has found a new scribe in Will Reiser (I'm With Cancer). The rights had originally been bought back in 2007, and writer Bob Nelson had written a draft, but now, much like their senior subjects, the project is getting a new jolt of life.
As I hope you know by now, the film follows a chorus of senior citizens (average age of 80) who came together and toured -- not singing "old folks" songs for retirement homes, but all-out mainstream concerts featuring modern hits and classics from the likes of The Clash, Coldplay, and James Brown. The documentary dipped into their performances and their lives (some passed away during production).
Can you think of any movie that could be more fun on the big screen? »

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 »

Okay, as the official anime nerd of DoorQ.com, it is my duty to bring to you the glory and wonders of Japanese animation. I've kinda been slacking on my blog posts for the past few months because of the new job and doing things even a censor bar couldn't protect you against with my boyfriend =)
No more, though! Back to my anime-gushing ways! I just spent a nice chunk of my raise (Can you believe it? People actually reward you for hard work and a good job) on some fabulous anime box sets spanning several different genres! This is gonna be Tight, Dawg!!!

Roth Calls For A Basterds Prequel
11 November 2009 12:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Eli Roth can't wait to get started on an Inglourious Basterds prequel - because he's already shot a scene with Cloris Leachman that he hopes will be included.
The actor/director reveals Quentin Tarantino left a lot on the cutting room floor after wrapping the first film - and Roth feels sure it's good enough to be included in another movie.
He says, "We have three scenes that we shot in Boston that take place before the war, and Quentin says if he does the prequel, he's going to use them. They're not going to be DVD extras.
"There's a great scene with me and Cloris Leachman. I go and get her to sign the (his trademark) bat. It's me and the little old Jewish ladies of the neighbourhood."
And Roth isn't the only 'basterd' keen to make another movie.
He tells Eonline.com, "Everybody would drop whatever they're doing to go back to work with Quentin. All the time, (co-star) Brad (Pitt) says, 'Prequel, prequel!' All the 'basterds' would jump on it in a second." »

Exclusive: The Fields Set Visit Report

Driving down a winding road in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania, the car rounds a turn, climbing higher into the mountains. Perched on the side of a steep hill is an old farmhouse with peeling gray paint and gaping windows, surrounded by fields of dry and rustling corn. The front lawn slopes dangerously down and then sprawls out into an honest-to-god pumpkin patch. This is where the cast and crew for upcoming indie thriller The Fields are shooting today.
When we arrive, they are filming a scene in the pumpkin patch with Bev Appleton and Joshua Ormond. It’s October, and in the mountains of Pennsylvania the air is beyond chilly. A Pa wraps Josh, who plays Steven, in a thick coat between takes to keep him warm. Josh jumps up and down as he and his co-star make faces at each other as they wait for directors Tom Mattera »

Fun For Everyone Halloween Films – Part III!

5. Edward Scissorhands (1990): I would love to see how something like Edward Scissorhands would go over in today’s society. Clearly, if the school he’d be attending observed any of today’s weapon policies, he’d be expelled instantly and have at least 4 interviews on news programs and talk shows before the week was over about how the institution is “denying his fundamental right to express himself.” Edward Scissorhands reminds me a lot of many of the movies that came out in the late 80s, up until 1990.

Inglourious Basterds Coming To DVD/Blu-ray In December
20 October 2009 12:03 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Well, how about that? Our previous reports that the Weinsteins were planning on releasing Quentin Tarantino’s war film, Inglourious Basterds, on DVD before year’s end for Award reasons have turned out to be true. The Playlist points us to Blu-ray.com where they confirm December 15th in the U.S. and December 7th in the UK as release dates for Inglourious Basterds on DVD and Blu-ray. Earlier this year, the financially strapped Weinsteins sold the DVD distribution rights to Universal who will be handling the release.
However, where the news has been confirmed of an early Inglourious Basterds release, this news differs in that it won’t be a “down and dirty, bear-bones” release after all. You’d think that by releasing it early to get it readily available to award voters (individually watermarked award screeners cost a helluva of a lot more than a general release on »

'Dancing with the Stars' Contestants Answer: Is Ballroom Dancing Ageless?
7 October 2009 3:41 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
"Dancing with the Stars'" oldest competitor of the season, Tom DeLay, resigned from the show Tuesday night due to stress fractures in both of his feet. "The Insider"'s Samantha Harris asked the stars and pros if an age limit should be imposed on the show. Dancers responded with a unanimous, "No." Mark Ballas said, "Dancing has no age." Past "Dancing" competitors have been older than DeLay and avoided injury. Louis Van Amstel recalled, "Priscilla [Presley] was 62. She did it. It was no problem." Anna Trebunskaya posed the question, "Cloris Leachman did it for how many weeks and she was 80-something years old?" Donny Osmond is sad to see DeLay exit the show because, he realized, "I'm now the oldest dancer." He joked, "It doesn't matter. I dance like a 15-year-old." One of the youngest competitors this season, Louis Vito, projected that, "When I'm old, I don't want anyone telling me what to do. »
