TV Tonight: 30 Rock

BuzzSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 08:30:00 -0800

Of all of the shows participating in NBC's Green is Universal week, I've been most excited to see what 30 Rock would do with the assignment. The show is so brilliant at poking fun of NBC's corporate culture that I figured Tina Fey would have something special up her sleeve for this politically correct mission.

Sure enough, tonight's episode will introduce Greenzo, a ridiculous, Jack Donaghy-mandated green superhero, played by David Schwimmer. Liz gets roped in to a promotional tour with Greenzo, and it doesn't take her long to get fed up with the goofy mascot's over-the-top message. Even better, the show convinced Al Gore to come poke fun at himself and his environmental mission.

The other green week comedies don't look bad, either - especially this edition of The Office, which finds Michael dropped in the woods on a wilderness-survival mission. To watch a promo for all four comedies, just read more

NBC Goes Eco for Green is Universal Week

BuzzSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 07:30:00 -0700

Back in July, when NBC announced it would have a green-themed week of programming, I wondered aloud how many green plot lines there could really be. Well, NBC has released the details about how each of its shows will be integrating the theme from Nov. 4-10, and it seems the answer to my question is: a whole lot.

Some of the plot lines in this press release (warning before you click - it contains spoilers for upcoming episodes) sound pretty great. A few favorites:

On The Office, Michael will get excluded from a corporate wilderness retreat - and then go into the woods on his own to prove his mettle.
30 Rock will poke fun at the whole concept, hatching a plot line with Jack creating a green mascot for GE. Al Gore will guest-star!
On Friday Night Lights, Tami's free-spirited sister will sweep into town, urging the Taylors to make a ton of changes in their lives, including going green.
On The Biggest Loser, the contestants will compete a recycling-themed challenge and exercise without electricity-hogging machines.

A few of the others seem like they had to work a little harder to get that green message in. To see a few of those, read more

On Chuck, Chuck will return to Stanford on a weekend when the university just so happens to be hosting its annual Green Festival.
On Journeyman, Dan will travel back in time to educate a cab driver on the wonders of recycling.
On Heroes, West will help Claire's family with some energy-saving household repairs. (Seriously!)

Overall, though, I'm getting the sense - at least from these written descriptions - that NBC managed to get green plots into most of its shows pretty seamlessly. What do you think? Is it cool that NBC is raising awareness of green issues - or will this be overkill?

NBC is Going Green This Fall

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:28:57 -0700

From Live Earth to Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary about global warming, it's cool to be green in showbiz these days. This fall, NBC will be getting into the act with a week of green-themed programming across all of its networks, including Bravo, USA and Sci Fi. According to NBC entertainment co-president Ben Silverman, every single primetime show on the network - from "Heroes" to "Deal or No Deal" - will have "themes of green." The "Green is Universal" week will begin Nov. 4 with NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcast.

It's a cool idea, and I'm not going to dis anything that would raise awareness of environmental issues - especially because NBC Universal is obviously committed to the cause and has launched a Web site with all kinds of great green info. But I do wonder if by the end of the week, the whole theme will start to feel old and trite. After all, how many green plot lines can there really be?

Luckily, the stars and writers of NBC's Thursday comedies - all of whom will be participating in the green week - already seemed to be taking the assignment in stride during their panel discussion on Monday. Greg Garcia, executive producer of "My Name is Earl," suggested maybe they could just recycle a previous "Save the Earth"-themed "Earl" episode, while John Krasinski already had a pretty good sense of how "The Office" would fare: "We're screwed. We're a paper company. We're going to get hammered."

Green Zone: Heavy on Action (and Preaching)

BuzzSugar — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:30:00 -0800

Meet Matt Damon, war hero. If the Bourne series is any indication, director Paul Greengrass knows how to get a pistol-whip out of the actor, and the two team up once again, bringing that same pumping adrenaline to Baghdad in Green Zone.

Heart-pounding blasts erupt as we open with Chief Miller (Damon) and his army comrades as they sniff out weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, circa 2003. A sniper is firing bullets from a tower and looters run through the streets kicking up dust, but Miller's unit discovers nothing. The government has been providing misinformation regarding the WMDs, and Miller takes it upon himself to figure out what's really going on.

To hear more about the film, read more.

When Miller questions army officials, they act like he's crazy - with the exception of one CIA member, Marty Brown (Brendan Gleeson). Brown confirms Miller's suspicions, and the two begin their own investigation. With help from a Wall Street Journal reporter (Amy Ryan), Miller learns of a mysterious source named "Magellan" who provided information to the press about WMDs; yet, the only person who knows Magellan is Pentagon rep Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) who swiftly tries to shut Miller down at every turn. So what is Poundstone hiding? If you've ever heard the term "conspiracy theory," you can probably guess - but that doesn't diminish the film's suspense.

That's thanks to Greengrass, who uses his fast-paced shots to take us through alleyways and over fences. His on-foot filmmaking is full of shaky camera work that puts you in the thick of the gunfire for an authentic feel, but it also makes you a bit queasy. As we head toward an explosive finish, Damon launches into Jason Bourne mode, and believability goes out the window. Lack of plausibility is okay though when it's an action movie, right?

The problem is that Green Zone wants to be more than that. With a plot about Iraq and government conspiracy, you're bound to have anti-war underpinnings, and the script doesn't miss out on any opportunity to drive the moral home. This message is voiced by an Iraqi character named Freddy (Khalid Abdalla), who Miller takes in to serve as an informant and translator. Freddy doesn't help the US for a reward, he's doing it for his country, as he proclaims "it's not for you to decide what happens here." It's a thought that echoes through to the closing credits, and a worthy point at that - but in the midst of what amounts to countless chase scenes, for Green Zone it's a little out of left field.

Movie Preview: Jonah Hill and Russell Brand in Get Him to the Greek

BuzzSugar — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:30:56 -0800

If you loved Aldous Snow - the crass, morally loose lothario rocker of Forgetting Sarah Marshall - I have very good news: he's getting his own movie! Aldous (played by Russell Brand) is one of the best parts of that rom-com, and Get Him to the Greek promises even more of his sloppy kissing, grinding, and drug-fueled nights on the town with Jonah Hill as his sidekick.

Hill plays Aaron Green, a record company intern assigned to pick up Aldous in London and escort him to a special show in LA at the Greek Theater. You can guess what happens next - Aldous introduces Aaron to his party lifestyle, and awkward bathroom sex and morning show puke follows.

While it shares the same actors and director (and producer Judd Apatow) as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Greek is not a sequel. Though Brand reprises his role, Hill isn't playing his same Hawaiian waiter character from the first film, and the movie looks more like The Hangover than a love story.

Brand is hilarious, but this looks like an all-out guy fest with a few hackneyed drunk scenes. But in the plus column, Aziz Ansari pops up as a co-worker, and Hill isn't irking me quite as much as he has in the past.

We'll have to wait until June 4 for the verdict, but check out the trailer and tell me what you think when you read more.

Movie Preview: Matt Damon in Green Zone

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:30:59 -0700

Matt Damon is officially a Hollywood juggernaut. Not only does he have a ton of movies in the works (a Liberace biopic, an Eastwood film, and as of today a new project with the Coen brothers), and here's a peek at his upcoming thriller Green Zone. Even though I've been anxiously awaiting a fourth Bourne installment, Green Zone looks like a worthy substitute for the time being. (No doubt because it's directed by Paul Greengrass, who worked on the Bourne franchise.)

Damon is back to kicking butt and taking names as Roy Miller, an Army officer on the search for weapons of mass destruction. During his journey, Miller seeks the help of a journalist (Amy Ryan) and gets tangled up with an underhanded higher-up (Greg Kinnear). As a result of his sniffing around where he's not supposed to, Miller soon ends up with a giant bull's-eye on his head. Dun, dun, dun!

While the storyline doesn't sound entirely fresh, you can still count me in for this one. The trailer has that edge-of-your-seat suspense vibe, and with Damon and Greengrass working together, I know I'm sure to be entertained. It doesn't hit theaters until March 12, 2010, but you can watch the preview when you read more.

Movie Preview: Shrek Forever After

BuzzSugar — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:30:00 -0800

Hope you're not tired of the sudden influx of movie trailers lately (in the past few days we've taken a peek at Iron Man 2, The Runaways, and Alice in Wonderland), because now here's one for the fourth Shrek film. In Shrek Forever After, Shrek grows tired of his quiet life with Fiona (and ogre babies!) and inadvertently signs a contract that turns his world upside down. In the alternate Far Far Away universe, Shrek's friends don't recognize him, Puss in Boots has fattened up and Fiona appears to be some kind of criminal.

Of course it's got the voices we've come to know and love along with the typical wisecracks, but I have to admit that I'm kind of relieved to hear that this will be the last chapter in the franchise. Don't get me wrong - I love that big green ogre, but I think it may be time to let the films be remembered as classics and move on to something new.

Announcing the 2010 Grammy Award Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:22:28 -0800

The Grammy Awards rolled out the red carpet this evening with a one-hour live show to celebrate their 2010 nominees. (Check out photos from the event here.) The night featured performances by previous winners like the Black Eyed Peas, along with the announcement of the acts who will be competing for the special honor. The results? This year is all about the ladies. Taylor Swift has already run away with the majority of awards in 2009, and she's towards the top here too, earning eight nominations including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. But somewhere out there, Kanye West is smiling, because his girl Beyonce bested Ms. Swift tonight with a total of ten nods.

As for me, I'm especially happy to see Lady Gaga get recognition in multiple categories following a disappointing run for her at the American Music Awards. Also worth noting - the boys of The Lonely Island are nominated for their music video "I'm on a Boat" featuring T-Pain. Nice to see the nomination committee has a sense of humor.

We'll find out who takes home the golden record player when the awards show airs on Jan. 31. To see who made the cut, just read more.
