Movie Preview: New York, I Love You
I really enjoyed the movie Paris, je t'aime, partially because so many of the actors in it are wonderful, but also because I like the format of it. It's a bunch of short stories, each one set in a different neighborhood of Paris. Now there's a trailer for a follow-up to Paris, je t'aime, focusing this time on the romance/craziness/magic of the Big Apple: New York, I Love You.
Big Names Sign Up to Show New York Some Love
Many a filmmaker has made New York City a muse over the years, and some have even fashioned entire careers around a kind of ode to the Big Apple — Woody Allen, for example, or the makers of Sex and the City. Now the city is getting some serious love as dozens of stars and filmmakers begin production on a film anthology called New York, I Love You (not to be confused with I Love New York, mind you).
Based on a similar project called Paris, je t'aime that's part of an emerging franchise of "love" movies, the anthology will consist of a series of film shorts that will be written, directed and performed by some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Check Out Nurse Jackie Right Here, Right Now
One of the Summer TV shows that's high on my list is Showtime's Nurse Jackie, a new half-hour dark comedy that premieres June 8 alongside the new season of Weeds.
The show stars Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton, a nurse with a complicated history and a somewhat twisted relationship with justice. She truly wants what's best for her patients, but that makes her a bit of a renegade, putting her on the wrong side of doctors, families, and maybe even the law.
Fox's Fall Schedule: More Dance, More Dollhouse
Fox kicked off network Upfront week in New York this morning by announcing its Fall schedule, and here's a headline right off the bat: So You Think You Can Dance, Fox's summertime dance competition show, is getting a Fall edition as well.
The show will air in an American Idol-like fashion, with a two-hour performance show on Tuesdays and a one-hour results show on Wednesdays. That Wednesday show will lead into Glee, the musical dramedy that has its sneak peek after Idol this week.
First Look: USA's Royal Pains
In Royal Pains, which premieres in early June on USA, Mark Feuerstein plays a reluctant doctor to the rich and famous. His character, Hank, is a young medical superstar living swanky in New York— until, that is, he makes a fateful mistake that leaves a hospital trustee dead. Feeling that all is lost, he goes for a long weekend in the Hamptons with his brother (Paulo Costanzo), and before he knows it, he's making house calls — well, make that mansion-calls — to the elite.
Ugly Betty Rundown: Episode 23, "Curveball," and Episode 24, "The Fall Issue"
Well, friends, this week concludes Ugly Betty's run on Thursday nights. The show brought out loads of stars for its third season finale, but then a lot of things happened and then unhappened and then rehappened again, and I'm wondering this morning if we actually needed two whole hours of that.
Betty has the job!
Gossip Girl Rundown: Episode 25, "The Goodbye Gossip Girl"
This week's season finale of Gossip Girl is everything I've come to expect from this show in terms of the way it ties up loose ends. It ties them, and then it unties them, and then it ties them again. All in an hour.
Movie Preview: What Goes Up
The cast for What Goes Up is pretty great: Steve Coogan, Molly Shannon, Olivia Thirlby, Josh Peck, Hilary Duff and more (oooh, I love seeing Thirlby and Peck on screen together again after starring in The Wackness). It's hard to decipher what exactly is going on in the trailer (there are nerdy students, there seems to be a death) so I'll leave it to the movie's website to sum up the plot:
It is 1986. An emotionally damaged New York reporter is sent to cover the hometown hoopla for a local hero.

Supernatural Drama Could Be Tribeca's First Big Sale in Years
For all its buzzworthy movies, the Tribeca Film Festival hasn't yielded a major movie sale since 2005's Transamerica starring Felicity Huffman. Apparently the New York-based festival just doesn't do as many big deals as some other festivals, so when there is buzz about a sale, people pay attention. That's what's happening right now with a movie called The Eclipse.
