Marshall Cook is not only a writer, actor, producer and editor, but he was also a football player. It is his experiences as a football player that helped inform him when he wrote the script for comedy “Division III: Football’s Finest.” Cook, who played quarterback for 10 years, said that there are few things that people don’t take into consideration when it comes to football players. “We have to deal with each other,” he said. “There’s always the guy who takes it more seriously, or the guy that is a jerk. The coaches, whether they were introverted or extroverted, were always weird father figures that you’d want to please. There’s...
“Beauty and the Beast” is one of the Disney animated movies that came out during the studios’ golden age. The entire production is a true example of catching lightning in a bottle where it’s a perfect combination of animation, music, direction and voice actors. When you’re dealing with such a wonderfully complex character such as the Beast, you need the perfect voice to convey all of those emotions and perfectly blend it with the animation shown onscreen. They found that in Robby Benson, a seasoned Broadway and film actor who captured all of those elements and now has one of the most memorable voices with his work as the Beast....
Matt Bomer spoke with Entertainment Weekly recently about his strip-teasing role in Steven Soderbergh’s “Magic Mike.” In the interview (which also contains new pictures from the film), Bomer talked about the newfound respect for women and their various waxing regimens. Bomer said that for the film, he had to get waxed, and it hurt. “I had never been waxed before,” he said. “I’m not a very hairy individual to beginwith, but it was painful. But more than that…it was more the feeling of feeling kind of prepubescent again[.]” “…[T]he regrowth process was really s—y,” he said. “[I]tchy, uncomfortable. I have a newfound appreciation for women, between the waxing, self-tanning, the...

Title: Sleepwalk With Me Director: Mike Birbiglia and Seth Barrish Cast: Mike Birbiglia, Lauren Ambrose, Cristin Milioti, Aya Cash, Marylouise Burke, Loudon Wainwright III, James Rebhorn and Carol Kane Mike Birbiglia is a strange breed of comedian. He doesn’t really rely on punchlines and zingers but rather he takes the approach of storytelling. He has a great voice for storytelling, which translates into an engaging experience. His standup shows are hilarious. He’s one of the few alternative comedians that can tell a good story without delivering a lot of laughs. But when those laughs hit, they are full of impact. You can just tell that the stories he’s telling on...
Title: Man on a Ledge Summit Entertainment Director: Asger Leth Screenwriter: Pablo F. Fenjves Cast: Elizabeth Banks, Sam Worthington, Jamie Bell, Edward Burns, Kyra Sedgwick, Ed Harris, Anthony Mackie Screened at: AMC Empire, NYC, 1/24/12 Opens: January 27, 2012 As an action-adventure movie, “Man on a Ledge” succeeds only partly: by providing some tension when an ex-cop who has been convicted of the crime of stealing a $40 million diamond goes out on the ledge of New York’s Roosevelt Hotel 25 stories in the air. The trouble is that much of the action–particularly the busy goings-on across the street from which the title man on a ledge wants to distract...
Title: Smashed Director: James Ponsoldt Cast: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Aaron Paul, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, Alcoholism is not a laughing matter. It’s a disease that effects millions of Americans and ruins many more lives. Dealing with this sensitive subject can be tricky but a sure-hand behind the camera can make it work. Sadly, in the newest film from filmmaker James Ponsoldt, “Smashed,” it deals with alcoholism in a quick and easy way, reaching for a strange tonal balance I don’t feel the film pulls off completely. But in saying that, there’s still a lot of good in this movie I can recommend but don’t expect it to...
Title: The Woman Director: Lucky McKee (‘The Woods’) Starring: Sean Bridgers (TV’s ‘Deadwood’), Pollyanna McIntosh (‘Offspring’), Angela Bettis (‘Girl, Interrupted,’ TV’s ‘Carrie’) and Lauren Ashley Carter (‘The Prodigies’) People often think their actions benefit everyone, and don’t always think about the consequences will negatively affect those around them. This is one of the main themes in the new horror film ‘The Woman,’ which is now available on DVD. The movie’s director and co-writer, Lucky McKee, bravely showcased the evil and conniving acts of violence seemingly upstanding people take in the privacy of their own home. They enjoy unleashing terror on their innocent neighbors, claiming the torture will benefit them and...
Title: Save The Date Director: Michael Mohan Cast: Lizzy Caplin, Alison Brie, Martin Starr, Geoffrey Arend and Mark Webber During the Sundance Film Festival, there are many movies about a group of twenty-somethings coming to grips with their personal, professional or romantic lives, while at the same time trying to hold on to something that is completely child-like. This is a classic trope of movies you’ll find at Sundance. So what separates “Save The Date?” I mean, on the surface it has all of these things but what makes it stand out in my book is a certain level of charisma, sensitivity and sincerity. This wonderful film spouts an all-star...
Title: Chillerama Directed by: Adam Rifkin (Wadzilla), Tim Sullivan (I Was a Teenage Werebear), Adam Green (The Diary of Anne Frankenstein) and Joe Lynch (Zom-B-Movie) Starring: Ray Wise, Lin Shaye, Eric Roberts, Joel David Moore, Sean Paul Lockart, Kristina Klebe, Gabby West, Anton Troy and Richard Riehle Running time: 120 minutes, Unrated Three short films within a film that takes place at the last night at a drive-in movie theatre, where you can get entertained before you get raped by zombies. Wadzilla – Miles Munson is having a problem with his sperm count. His doctor prescribes him an experimental drug named Spermupermine that causes him to have agonizingly painful erections,...
Title: Lay The Favorite Director: Stephen Frears Cast: Rebecca Hall, Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Laura Prepon, Joshua Jackson and Vince Vaughn Finding what you are good at is not always an easy thing. Sometimes people spend most of their lives drifting from place to place just to get a chance to try something they might be good at. But what happens when what you are good at is considered a crime in 49 states, but in one magical state, it’s a bonafide business. I’m talking about Nevada here. Once again, Stephen Frears explores notions of actions, choices and consequences. This time around he delivers a film that is heavy on...
Title: Rampart Director: Oren Moverman Screenwriter: James Ellroy, Oren Moverman Cast: Woody Harrelson, Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, Ice Cube, Ned Beatty, Cynthia Nixon, Anne Heche, Brie Larson Screened at: Review 1, NYC, 1/23/12 Opens: February 10, 2012 There’s really only one reason to see “Rampart, ” but it’s a good enough one–and that’s the awards-worthy performance of Woody Harrelson in the role of a dirty cop. The L.A.-based police drama that may well have been inspired by the Rodney King affair is murky–a downer with a plot that is repetitive, spinning on in a circular way to put us firmly into the mind of the rogue cop, Dave Brown (Woody...
Title: Your Sister’s Sister Director: Lynn Shelton Cast: Emily Blunt, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mark Duplass and Mike Birbiglia The word “mumblecore” gets thrown around a lot in describing a certain genre of movie that are aimed to… how should I put this… a hipster audience. I know, I know, I’m already throwing up bad “buzz” words but I think there’s a greater point here. “Mumblecore” movies reach out to people in their late 20s and early 30s and generally involve characters who mumble through their words or emotions, therefore the label, “mumblecore.” Most of the time, when these “buzz” words are used to describe something, I feel it lessens the impact...
Title: The Grey Directed By: Joe Carnahan Starring: Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, James Badge Dale, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie, Dallas Roberts, Ben Bray Liam Neeson and director Joe Carnahan are back together again, but this time around, they’re working with material that’s far less fun than The A-Team. But less fun doesn’t make The Grey a bad movie. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Rather than turn The Grey into an utterly unrealistic survival adventure story, we get something far darker and, while it still has those handful of moments that make you think twice, it completely sells the severity of the situation. Neeson’s Ottway works for a...
Title: Buzz Kill Director: Steven Kampmann (‘Stealing Home’) Starring: Daniel Raymont (TV’s ‘The Naked Brothers Band,’ ‘Smash’), Krysten Ritter (TV’s ‘Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23′) and Darrell Hammond People sometimes take drastic measure when trying to achieve their dreams, and surprisingly, through twists of fate, the acts can actually pay off. The new independent comedy ‘Buzz Kill,’ directed and co-written by actor Steven Kampmann, amusingly shows the extreme measure people take to carry out their professional goals. While those around down-on-his-luck Ray Wyatt view him as being immature and refusing to grow up, Ray thinks of himself as staying true to his dreams. ‘Buzz Kill’ follows Ray (played...
Title: That’s What She Said Director: Carrie Preston Cast: Anne Heche, Marcia DeBonis, Alia Shawkat From the title alone, one would think that this would be a bad movie. The title entirely cliche, playing off a (somewhat) bad joke from the TV series, “The Office” circa 2005. An almost 7 year joke that was tired as soon as it was in the pop culture discussion. A joke that really only worked when the character Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) would use it in an almost naive way. But what separates the good way the the joke is used in “The Office” and the title of this movie is that,...
Title: Wrong Director: Quentin Dupieux Cast: Jack Plotnick, Eric Judor, Alexis Dziena, Steve Little, William Fichtner and Regan Burns Being absurd is almost always taken as a lark or gimmick when applied in movies. It automatically alienates audiences and leaves them uneasy with how the story is delivered. No one ever takes it seriously, but when done right, it can involve audiences, while at the same time giving them a good, heartfelt narrative. In the new film from French experimental filmmaker, Quentin Dupieux, “Wrong” embraces its absurdist nature and never apologizes for telling a story the way the director sees fit. It follows the story of Dolph Springer, a man...
Title: For Ellen Director: So Yong Kim Cast: Paul Dano, Jon Heder, Jena Malone and Margarita Levieva Sometimes a film is trying too hard to be interesting and insightful. Sometimes a film is trying too hard to be something else. Sometimes a film is trying too hard to make a point in an engaging way. In the case of the new film by filmmaker So Yong Kim, “For Ellen,” it just tries too hard with a gain a great sense of direction, movement or character, which is something I know the movie is trying too hard to strive for. “For Ellen” follows the story of Joby Taylor (Paul Dano), an...
Title: Young & Wild Director: Marialy Rivas Cast: Alicia RodrÃguez, Aline Kuppenheim, MarÃa Gracia Omegna and Felipe Pinto I feel it’s really a hard (no pun intended) undertaking to accurately portray love and sex in a teenager’s life in movies. Some movies might take a more romantic route, while other’s would take a more “high school comedy” route, but in Chilean filmmaker Marialy Rivas’ new film, “Young & Wild,” shows love and sex in an intimate, albeit hyper, way. The hyperactivity serves as a teenager’s attention span, going from subject to subject in a, would be, random way. As the story unfolds that intimacy endears the audience to the main...
