[TV] Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season
30 August 2009 12:09 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The women of Wisteria have come a long way since their first season. Each has had their share of tragedies, affairs and crimes committed and each has their own stash of secrets they don’t tell the other four matriarchs. The fifth season of Desperate Housewives sees the return of Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) and a new sordid batch of dirty tricks and loathsome dealings in the murky waters America affectionately calls suburbia. The drama matches the series’ par but never has one of those crowning moments that set past seasons apart.
Susan Meyer (Teri Hatcher) has a new and younger man in her life (Gale Harold), but she finds her relationship with him tainted by the ease with which he and Susan’s ex-husband Mike (James Denton) get along. The two men seem to bond right from the start, though some friction remains as Mike vies for the affection »

What Do You Mean There's Nothing On?!!!?-Six Feet Under
23 August 2009 11:57 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
2001 was a big year for HBO. Already riding high off the successes of The Sopranos and Sex and the City, and their new sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm, HBO was being critically acclaimed as finally making smart television for cable. But somewhat lost in this shuffle of groundbreaking TV was another fantastic show, Six Feet Under.
Six Feet Under followed the Fisher family, whose family-run funeral parlor has been handed down from generation to generation. When the father and namesake of the business, played by recent Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins, is killed, the family gathers together, including free-spirited son Nate (Peter Krause of Sports Night and Dirty Sexy Money) who comes to become a partner at the funeral home, a job he swore he would never take.
Nate partners with his brother David, Michael C. Hall of Dexter, to run the family business. Their mother and sister, Ruth and Claire, played »

Blu-Ray Review: Romantic Comedy Stars Can’t Save ‘New in Town’
1 June 2009 6:25 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.’s “New in Town,” now on DVD and Blu-Ray, was a massive bomb in theaters, opening in 8th place and grossing only $17 million, less than any widely-released Zellweger film in her entire career.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0 I only mention this because so few people have seen the film that they may be drawn to it at Blockbuster or in their Netflix queue. “New in Town” isn’t nearly as painful as I expected it to be but the horrendous script sink all the best efforts of the reasonably charming Renee and always-good Harry.
New in Town was released on Blu-Ray on May 26th, 2009.

On paper, “New in Town” sounds promising. Zellweger plays Lucy Hill, a tough-as-nails executive who takes on an assignment at a manufacturing plant in Minnesota. Transplanted from the sunny beaches of Miami to the frozen tundra of the great North, »

[DVD Review] New in Town
23 May 2009 3:54 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Attention: If you have seen Fargo, do not see New in Town. I repeat: Do not see this movie. If you liked Fargo, you’ll be disappointed that they basically replicated it, only not as well. Apparently the 13-year gap between the two films was not enough to make us forget. And if you didn’t like the Coen brothers’ comedy, then don’t see New in Town either, because odds are the same reasons you didn’t like Fargo will stand here as well.
Watching New in Town and its extras will make you sure of only one thing: you will never want to visit Minnesota. Fargo almost (almost) made you say, “Hey…I should check that town out sometime”, if only because you might think there's some chance you could end up having just as exciting an adventure (or series of ridiculous conversations). But, not New in Town. »

Elisabeth Shue will be starring in Dimension Films' "Piranha 3D," horror remake directed by Alexandre Aja which starts shooting in May. Film is set for a March 19, 2010 release.

Shue was last seen as herself in the hilarious comedy "Hamlet 2" starring Steve Coogan and Catherine Keener. She's in post-production phase for numerous films including "Don McCay" with Thomas Haden Church, Melissa Leo and M. Emmett Walsh.

Review: "New in Town"
2 February 2009 11:43 AM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Seen on: January 31, 2009
The players: Director: Jonas Elmer, Charles Guard, Writers: C. Jay Cox, Ken Rance, Cast: Renee Zellweger, Harry Connick Jr., J. K. Simmons, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Frances Conroy
Facts of interest: None whatsoever.
The plot: A Florida businesswoman's stay in a small Minnesota town changes for the better when she falls in love with the local labor union rep.
Our thoughts: In Jonas Elmer’s “New in Town,” Renee Zellweger plays Lucy Hill, a successful Miami consultant whose life takes a drastic turn when she’s sent to a small Minnesota town to oversee the restructuring of a manufacturing plant. Lucy really despises the place and its inhabitants at first, but once she gets better acquainted with a local labor union rep (Harry Connick Jr.), things change quicker than she could have ever imagined… »
