It's Sunday of the long holiday weekend -- you're either sick of watching TV and need to get out of the house, or sick of your family and need to distract yourself with anything on the tube.
Tune into USA starting at 9 a.m. for a marathon of Law & Order: Svu. You can never have too much Benson & Stabler.
Fine Living has Three Sheets: New Year's Eve in London on at 10 p.m. -- I love watching Zane Lamprey's bar crawls and London's pubs should provide plenty of entertainment for him. Now pass me a pint of cider.

'Nine' review (3/5) - A sexy and energetic musical romp through early 1960s Italy
22 December 2009 3:54 PM, PST
| Movie Jungle
| See recent Movie Jungle news
»
“Nine” is a musical that bowls you over with penance and energy. It doesn’t have memorable songs like “The Sound of Music” or “West Side Story”. It does however have an electrifying cast that does its best to bowl you over. For the most part, it does succeed.
“Nine” is based on a 1982 Broadway musical. That musical was inspired by the classic Fellini film “8 ½”. It was revived with great fanfare in 2003 with Antonio Banderas in the lead. “Nine” tells the story of famed Italian director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his attempts to make a new movie. He has problems brewing though. His last two films were flops and his producer is antsy for another hit. Guido is also entering this project without the script. That’s never a good thing.

Dare Sparked Andrews' Book Career
15 December 2009 7:56 AM, PST

»
Dame Julie Andrews' career as an author began after she lost a bet with her children.
The Sound of Music star owns a publishing company with her daughter Emma and the duo has written and released more than 25 children's books in the last decade.
But she admits the entire venture was sparked after her second husband Blake Edwards' daughter dared her to write a story.
She explains, "The very first book I wrote - which was about 38 years ago - was the result of losing a game with my kids. It was a dare and I had to pay a forfeit and our eldest daughter said, 'Write me a story!' I honestly thought, 'I'll just write a couple of pages' but I got an idea. It was for a new step-daughter, who I adored, and I thought this might help us bond. I would have never finished it if it hadn't been for my husband Blake's encouragement and he said, 'Just let the pages build.' I just haven't stopped ever since really."
And the veteran actress is taking credit for inspiring her fellow stars to put pen to paper.
She adds, "It's funny because people think I'm this celebrity author but I've been doing it for about 35 or 40 years. I think I started celebrity authorship!"

1521 Takeda Shingen, Japanese warlord who Kagemusha tried to impersonate. Oopsie. I've actually never seen that Akira Kurosawa picture. How quickly should I rent it?
1913 Mary Martin, broadway star of Peter Pan, The Sound of Music and South Pacific fame. Those famous roles hit silver screens, but without Mary
1935 Woody Allen, legend (abundant posts)
1940 Richard Pryor, influential comedian
1945 Bette Midler the divine. In a fit of complete absence of budgeting sense I nearly purchased a flight to Vegas and a concert ticket last month. Just because. I've never seen her perform on stage but I did used to love her in the movies. Particularly: The Rose, Beaches (so underrated... weepies can't get no respect) and Big Business
1951 Treat Williams enduring B lister. Among the highlights: Hair,

Is Bella Swan an independent and sort of daring young lovesick renegade…or a doormat? A good role model...or a godawful role model? Or should she be considered a role model at all? And what of the Twilight saga itself: Is it liberating the fantasy life of a new generation of young women by inviting them to wallow in the kind of stormy-skies, trembling-damsel romanticism that has been a staple of popular fiction from Wuthering Heights onward? Or is it setting back the holy cause of women's enlightenment by 50 years?
These and other questions were debated, with rude and furious passion,

Theatre for the New City Presents Jim Farmer's The Supper Club Of Lost Causes, 11/6 - 11/29

Certain small, old towns of the Northeast are full of time warps. People crossing the street can seem like they sprang from decades past and certain buildings are forgotten relics, unseen and unnoticed. As a boy, playwright/director Jim Farmer saw "The Sound of Music" in a large, decrepit movie theater in Hawley, Pa, near Lake Wallenpaupack. The movie palace's sad and spooky overtones brought back feelings he had as a younger child, when he was taken by his parents to a supper club in Bayonne NJ, his hometown. Surrounded by its scratchy jazz band and eerie, wrinkled comics, Farmer knew that he wasn't experiencing a "Jack Benny Show" of the past but a David Lynch moment of the future.

The Best Non-Dysfunctional Movie Families ... in Honor of Thanksgiving

In honor of Thanksgiving, we're recalling one of our favorite turkey day-themed posts from last year.
By: Jette Kernion
A few years ago, I wrote a Cinematical Seven on my favorite dysfunctional families in films. Everyone has a crazy messed-up movie family they love, whether it's the Hoovers in Little Miss Sunshine or the Bullocks in My Man Godfrey or the Corleones in the Godfather saga. I thought that this year, it would be fun to make a list of families that got along, worked together, and supported one another. You know, happy families ... but not dull, one-dimensional bundles of endless cheer.
It's a lot more difficult to find seven movies with happy-but-not-sappy families than it is to find the screwed-up kind, especially if you are looking for something more interesting than the Cleavers. Since I'm visiting my relatives for the Thanksgiving holidays, I asked them for suggestions. They were all very helpful,

The hills were alive - with the sound of fans rushing to get a photo of Tom Cruise.
The actor popped up on the main shopping street of Salzburg - the Austrian city where The Sound of Music was filmed - shortly after his Gulfstream IV jet landed there on Thursday. Dressed in a blue and gray plaid flannel shirt, Cruise signed autographs on the cobblestone street during a break from filming Knight and Day, a romantic action-comedy with Cameron Diaz.
On Friday, Cruise shot scenes running over roofs in the city's old town. Next up: a helicopter chase.Although

An Evening With Christopher Plummer, Film Forum, New York November 30

Cinema Retro has received the following press release from The Film Forum:
A tribute to actor Christopher Plummer will be held at Film Forum on Monday, November 30 at 7:30.
Mr. Plummer will appear in person to discuss his long stage, screen and
television career. Admission for this special event is $25, $15 for
Film Forum members. Tickets will be available online Monday, November
23.
In his immensely entertaining new memoir,
Christopher Plummer describes how “this young bilingual wastrel,
incurably romantic, spoiled rotten, tore himself away from the ski
slopes to break into the big bad world of theatre, not from the streets
up but from an Edwardian living room down.” A Canadian (not English, as is often assumed), Plummer made his stage debut at 18 in Shakespeare’s Cymbeline
over 60 years ago. As a super-star of the Broadway and London stage,
Plummer has played most of the great classic roles: Hamlet, Lear,
Macbeth, Iago,

Inside track on the Oscars' supporting actor race

At this point on the derby track, with many films like "Invictus" and "The Lovely Bones" still unseen, it appears that there are three Oscar front-runners for best supporting actor: Christoph Waltz ("Inglourious Basterds"), Christopher Plummer ("The Last Station") and Alec Baldwin ("It's Complicated"). Waltz has been ahead for the last few months and may remain there, but remember this category is notoriously known as the veteran's achievement award (Alan Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine," James Coburn in "Affliction"). Two notable veterans stand out. Plummer starred in Oscar best pictures "The Sound of Music" and "A Beautiful Mind" and won many industry honors (three Emmys plus several film critics' awards), but he's never been nominated

Shelean Newman: One of Music City's Favorite Actresses May Become America's Favorite Chanteuse

Shelean Newman, known to Nashville audiences from her storied performances on area stages in productions of such musicals as The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Evita and more, has recently released her second CD for GrandVista Music entitled Snowfall, a collection of some of the season's most apropos songs, along with some surprising selections that fit perfectly into our idea of what the winter holiday season is all about. Snowfall is a follow-up, if you will, to Newman's exquisitely sung first collection for the record label, titled appropriately enough Anything Goes, a collection of standards and showtunes from such composers as Cole Porter, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer and George and Ira Gershwins.

Glee star Chris Colfer has claimed that his role on the show was written especially for him. The 19-year-old, who plays gay high school student Kurt Hummel, said that he originally auditioned for the part of Artie, which eventually went to Kevin McHale. Colfer explained that executive producer Ryan Murphy asked him if he had ever been in a production of The Sound Of Music, which is how his tailor-made character came about. He told TV Guide: "I told him I had played Kurt in The Sound of Music when I was younger. The next thing I knew, (more)
