Miss Piggy on The Muppets, Amy Adams’ ‘OK’ Voice, and Kermit’s Dirty Secret

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Miss Piggy has been a TV and movie star for decades, but in The Muppets , she finally gets the spotlight to herself and dominates the entire film start to finish — or so she’d have us believe. The Muppets is a showcase for many of her colleagues, but she’s the only character who gets a split-screen duet with Amy Adams and a very contemporary wardrobe. Movieline caught up with the porcine superstar (who is voiced by Eric Jacobsen) to discuss the new movie, her new look,and the bodily secret that Kermit doesn’t want you to know.

John Landis Remembers Eddie Murphy As a Jerk

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“When I made Trading Places , Eddie was 19 or 20 and bouncing off the wall with talent and was a very happy guy,” John Landis recalled recently about this year’s Academy Award host drop-out . “When I made Coming to America , it was a few years later, Eddie had become an international star and was not as happy. It was awkward on that film because he was kind of a jerk, and we had a real falling out. But still we worked together very well.” [ NYT ]

Jon Hamm Evaluates His Comedy Star Potential

Posted on June 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Not a week after his Mad Men colleague John Slattery told Movieline he envied Jon Hamm’s forays into film farce, Hamm himself is weighing in on his potential for a career in comedies. He was hilarious in Bridesmaids , and hilariously hard-boiled (thanks to that “gritty” dialogue) in The Town — so why he shouldn’t he ready for marquee funny roles?

Here are the 10 best Saturday Night Live sketches of 2010. I promise, though, that if anything extraordinary happens in the Paul Rudd or Jeff Bridges hosted episodes — which is quite likely, actually — I’ll update this list accordingly.

REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Filmmakers feel an understandable urge to rise to the occasion when committing the lives of ’60s saints and mold-busting mavericks like Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg to the screen. Dylan got Todd Haynes’s 2007 deconstruction of the biopic, I’m Not There (in which David Cross appears as Ginsburg in an indelible cameo). And now Ginsberg is the subject of Howl , a collagist treatment of his creation myth. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman began their account of the conception of Ginsburg’s titular declamatory opus and the 1957 obscenity trial that followed its publication as a straight documentary. After roughing out the usual talking heads and archival footage, it became clear to the directors of The Times of Harvey Milk (Epstein only) and The Celluloid Closet that the best way to honor their subject was to get a little funky.

‘Let’s Go Someplace Darker’: Mad Men Recapped

Posted on September 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Damn you, Matthew Weiner: Always making me work on a holiday. It’s an apt metaphor for Sunday night’s Mad Men , however. I suppose he’d greet my complaint with some paraphrase of Don’s afterhours reality check to birthday girl Peggy — “You’re 30-something years old; it’s time to get over Labor Day” — before insisting I hunker down and bring ides for the year’s seventh episode. And here I am! It worked.
