Movie Preview: Choke
Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict.
Hamlet 2, American Teen Among First Big Deals at Sundance
Buying started slow at Sundance this year, but things started picking up on Tuesday. Check out a rundown of some recent acquisitions:
- Hamlet 2, which stars Steve Coogan as a high school drama teacher, sold to Focus Features for $10 million — making it one of the biggest deals ever in the history of Sundance and putting it in the same league as Little Miss Sunshine. I didn't get to see this one, though the screenings for it at Sundance have been packed.
- Another one of the first non-documentary feature films to be picked up was Henry Poole Is Here, which sold for about $4 million on Monday night.

I don't know about you, but I'm sort of a fan girl for Marisa Miller thanks to the heyday of Victoria's Secret, so I was psyched to see her fill in as guest judge on this week's America's Next Top Model. This episode was all about the water — cliff diving, scuba diving — and some of the girls freaked. Who was able to overcome her fear and move on, and who choked?
Grey's Anatomy Rundown, "I Saw What I Saw"
Another one bites the dust. This week Grey's Anatomy took a break from the typical episode fodder, and instead we are treated to a whodunnit-style murder mystery when one of the doctors loses a patient in the midst of a crisis situation. We hear each doctor's story one by one, and when the cause of death is finally discovered someone is sent home.
FlashForward Breakdown, "Black Swan"
It's been two weeks since the blackouts, and in this week's episode of FlashForward, the people of the world are slowing getting back into their old routines. The only problem is, their outlook on the world is a bit marred to say the least. Nicole finally resurfaces, Olivia and Bryce spar over the meaning of the flashforwards, and Demetri and Mark come to blows.
