2009 Sundance Spotlight: The Missing Person, Paper Heart, Spread
While I won't be heading down to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival this year, I will be sorting through the humongous pile of festival entries to share with you some of the films I think look most promising. From quirky documentaries to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections:
The Missing Person
Michael Shannon is getting all kinds of attention for the creepy role he plays in Revolutionary Road, which is one of the reasons this movie is already earning some early buzz out of the festival.
Buzz News Roundup, 1/16
- Metallica and Run-D.M.C. are among this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. — E!
Changeling: An Emotional Meat Grinder
Clint Eastwood sure isn't one to shy away from dark, gut-wrenching material for his directorial projects, and Changeling is no exception. I went into the screening bracing myself for sorrow and pain, but I didn't brace myself enough. Changeling contains all the heavy sentimentality of Million Dollar Baby and that punch-in-the-stomach anguish of injustice found in Mystic River.
Link Time! 9/25
- This redesign of the Changeling poster is cracking me up. — FilmExperience
- Ray LaMontagne has made a great song about Meg White called, well, "Meg White." — Stereogum
- Isn't it about time House gets some new opening credits?
The Office's HR Folks Dish on Season Five
Some of the best news I heard all Summer was that Amy Ryan would be returning to The Office as new human resources representative Holly Flax. So when NBC offered up a chance to talk to the Oscar-nominated actress — and her HR predecessor and Office writer Paul Lieberstein — I couldn't say no. The two chatted with reporters yesterday, sharing some of their favorite on-set moments and spilling a few details on the upcoming season.
Amy Ryan's Still Working at The Office
Hooray! Amy Ryan, who was one of the funniest parts of the exceptionally funny season finale of The Office, will be returning to Dunder-Mifflin this Fall.
Ryan will reprise her role as Holly, the new HR woman replacing Toby (and possibly wooing Michael), for at least five episodes next season.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can view the thriller We Own the Night starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg.
Movie News Roundup: Biel, Arkin and Tisdale — Oh, My!
Lots of movie casting news these days — from Marley and Me to aliens lurking upstairs.
- Alan Arkin will join Jennifer Aniston and Owen WIlson in the film adaptation of bestselling memoir Marley and Me. Wilson plays a newspaper columnist who adopts a dog with his wife (Aniston).
Gone Baby Gone: Good Baby Great
Note: After much pleading, Buzz let me go see this movie to review. Thanks, Buzz!
