Adam: An Unusual, Careful Romance
There's a sense throughout Adam that writer/director Max Mayer has crafted his film very carefully. There are few, if any, moments that seem like they could offend or turn heads or overstep bounds. And that's probably not surprising, considering that it's not every day a film features a character with Asperger's syndrome as a romantic lead.
Where Are the Best Roles for Actresses: TV or Movies?
Considering that television holds second-rate status to film in a lot of people's minds, it's amazing to think of all of the stellar silver screen actresses who are currently working on TV. In a recent panel organized by The Hollywood Reporter, a whole bunch of them — including Sigourney Weaver, Regina King, January Jones, Anna Paquin, Rose Byrne, and Mary McDonnell — talked about the great roles available for women on the small screen right now.
That got me wondering if TV is providing actresses with better opportunities than film.
Movie Preview: Adam
Ever since I heard about Adam, which premiered at Sundance this year, I've been dying to see a preview for it — and now it's finally here! This sweet-looking romance stars Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne (Damages) as two twentysomethings who live in the same apartment complex. They become interested in each other and might be on the path to love if not for one little thing: Adam (Dancy) suffers from Asperger's syndrome, which means he has trouble navigating dating and other social situations.
TV Tonight: The Damages Season Two Finale
I'm both relieved and dismayed that Damages ends its second season tonight. The relief comes from finally putting the pieces together — whom does Ellen shoot? what is UNR really up to?
Movie Preview: Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne in Knowing
Opening March 20, Knowing features Nicolas Cage as a teacher whose son finds an old document with a bunch of numbers on it in a time capsule at his school. Turns out the numbers represent a series of creepy predictions, some of which have already come true. But one of the predictions for the future has the teacher worried that he and his family are about to face something terrible.
2009 Sundance Spotlight: Adam, Humpday, I Love You Phillip Morris
While I won't be heading 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 (like Chris Rock's) to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections:
Adam
Boy, do I love me some Hugh Dancy and I've been waiting for this actor to land a juicy, leading role.
Check Out This Spooky New Promo For Damages
I first saw this promo for the second season of Damages before Saturday Night Live last week, and it caught me completely off guard. It looked so slick that I assumed it had to be part of the show, and I kept waiting for it to get funny.
Around the point that Ellen steps on Patty Hewes's throat, though, I started to understand what I was actually dealing with.
Get "Damaged" With FX's Saturday Marathon
FX's thriller-mystery series Damages, starring Glenn Close, was one of the best entertainment-related things to come out of 2007, period. It's dark, edgy, and so well written, it succeeded in becoming another one of FX's shows (along with Nip/Tuck and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that brings the cable channel into a whole different league. These shows have way more in common with stuff you'd see on HBO or Showtime than say, USA.
Glenn Close and Damages Hold Court at TCA
The first season of FX's Damages was enthralling and chilling, and from just the couple of minutes we got to glimpse Tuesday morning at the TCA press tour, the show still has its captivating qualities. The show's main cast — including two of the three new cast members, William Hurt and Timothy Olyphant — was on hand to discuss a bit of what we'll see in the coming months, and I already feel sucked back in to the Damages universe. Some of this is spoilery, so if you don't want to know anything about season two, stop here — but if you want to hear about the new characters, the evolution of Ellen, and the fate of Arthur Frobisher (well, maybe), just read more
