Dinner for Schmucks Makes a Later Reservation

The Paul Rudd/Steve Carell comedy Dinner for Schmucks has been pushed back from July 23 to July 30, where it’ll go up against Zac Efron’s Charlie St. Cloud . You may recall that the Vanessa Hudgens vehicle Beastly just moved out of that date so as not to pit the two lovebirds against each other. Why stop there? Efron should really get to work seducing Rudd in an effort to, uh, maximize his opening. (I’m sorry.) [ Deadline ]

Debra Granik, John Hawkes, and Dale Dickey on How They Pulled Off Winter’s Bone

At the Sundance film festival this year, Debra Granik’s Ozark drama Winter’s Bone was one of the most buzzed-about titles, earning plaudits for its impressively conjured setting and riveting cast. We’ve already brought you a Verge interview with Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the film’s lead Ree, but as Winter’s Bone goes into limited release this weekend, here’s more about the movie from some of the people who know it best: Granik, John Hawkes (who almost walks away with the film as Ree’s fearsome uncle Teardrop), and Dale Dickey (who plays the stubborn, implacable mountain woman Merab).

The Hills Reality Check: Catfights and a Dog Named Brody

Last night’s episode of The Hills brought viewers a single week closer to The End. The installment, “The Company You Keep,” proved again that Lo is the wisest of the Hills cast members, Audrina has horrific taste in men and that Brody Jenner is the perfect candidate for MTV’ s in-development series Misogynist Boot Camp . Click through to see who survived Stephanie Pratt’s birthday party alive and which moments hit the Real/Fake Jackpot this week.

REVIEW: Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky Caught in More Than a Bad Romance

Igor Stravinsky wrote that he left the Paris theater where the 1913 premiere of his revolutionary work, “The Rite of Spring,” was inciting a bourgeoisie riot before it had finished its Prelude; he saw where things were headed. Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky , a heady, austere, wholly unmoving account of their rumored affair, adopts the “Rite”‘s debut as its own prelude, and its bravura execution offers intimations — promising and less so — of what’s to come.

Hey, Who’s Ready For the New Big Tits Zombie Trailer?

I arrived a little late to the Japanese phenomenon that is The Big Tits Zombie , a 3D grindhouse throwback whose original trailer winked a little too hard at the viewer in April. The new one isn’t really that much better, but at least it has an improved and more fully realized sense of vision, narrative and genre. Oh, who am I kidding? This makes George A. Romero look like Robert Bresson (if Bresson were NSFW ).

Late Night Highlights: Chris Rock Tells Jay He’s a ‘Bad Man’ for ConanGate and Kate Hudson Eats Dave’s Waffles

Just because Conan O’B rien has found a new television home does not mean that everyone has forgotten his Tonight Show plight. Take Chris Rock, who last night made his first few minutes with Jay Leno uncomfortable by calling him out for his crimes and insinuating that he may have had something to do with Kevin Eubanks’ mysterious departure. Click through for that segment, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while remembering Kathy Griffin’s days on the D-List .

Are Page Six and ‘Mr. Television’ Conspiring Against Jimmy Fallon?

Wednesday’s edition of Page Six reports that the ratings for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon are down 20 percent from May of 2009 and that NBC executives are “on edge” over the fall. Gasp! Says Mediaweek’s Marc Berman — who actually goes by the late, great Milton Berle’s old nickname “Mr. Television” — “When they took out Jay and put in Conan, they lost a lot of the viewers who would usually have stayed on to watch Fallon. The lead-in is pivotal . . . When you mess around with viewers, sometimes it’s hard to get them back. TV is a very fickle business . . . If there is a lesson to be learned from this debacle, it is that if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Good point, Mr. TV! And good thing Fallon isn’t broken.

Stephanie Pratt on Her ‘Real Love,’ Speidi’s Separation and Life After The Hills

Like many reality stars these days, Stephanie Pratt has fought to overcome her own demons. After years of shoplifting, bulimia and substance addiction — some of which was chronicled on MTV’ s The Hills — Stephanie assumed responsibility for her dependencies and became sober. It was a sophisticated journey for a cast member on a reality show that specializes in glamorous simplification — picture-perfect 20-something cast members, glistening shots of the L.A. cityscape and conversations that rarely delve into complex designer names, let alone emotions. But as The Hills winds down its final season, Stephanie — who became a lead cast member this year — has emerged as of one of the show’s most integral and reliable characters. Last week, Stephanie phoned Movieline to discuss the career detour that took her to The Hills , the one cast member she trusts for advice and her strained relationship with her brother.
