‘It’s a Lot of Pressure’: Jesse Eisenberg Reacts to NBR Win, Awards Season

Posted on December 3, 2010 by | Comments Off on ‘It’s a Lot of Pressure’: Jesse Eisenberg Reacts to NBR Win, Awards Season

Thursday afternoon, I met Jesse Eisenberg at a New York City dive bar — coincidentally named “Social” — for a pretty sprawling interview that will publish here next week. As he was en route, he heard the news that he had won the National Board of Review’s Best Actor award for his performance in The Social Network (which also claimed the group’s Best Picture and Best Director prizes). I asked Eisenberg about winning that award and what the awards season — and his real first go around with it — means to him.

The Mad Science of Fringe: Balance is Restored to the Multiverse

Posted on December 3, 2010 by | Comments Off on The Mad Science of Fringe: Balance is Restored to the Multiverse

We may have bid farewell to the alternating red and blue title sequences with last night’s Fringe . Olivia’s brief romp to her universe finally blew Bolivia’s cover, the number of likable characters “over there” took a major hit, and only a few minor quibbles totally arrested disbelief. Read on for “Entrada’s” mad science report!

‘You’re Ruining Fuddruckers for Everyone!’: Community Recapped

Posted on December 3, 2010 by | Comments Off on ‘You’re Ruining Fuddruckers for Everyone!’: Community Recapped

For the last few weeks , I’ve been one of those reviewers bemoaning the fact that Community doesn’t have any stakes, relatable heroes or weight behind its story arcs. Much of season two has been very funny — not as funny as season one, admittedly, but still very funny — but not much has occurred that is likely to be remembered. Watching season two of Community has been like eating Cap’n Crunch for breakfast: Delightful, a little bit naughty and wholly unsatisfying in the long run. Which is why “Mixology Certification” was actually a welcome departure from the track of the season. It wasn’t funny, but it was certainly meaty.

Son of No One, Hobo With a Shotgun Among Latest Sundance 2011 Additions

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on Son of No One, Hobo With a Shotgun Among Latest Sundance 2011 Additions

Now we’re talking. After releasing a trickle of competition selections that dazzled pretty much nobody, the Sundance Film Festival cut loose with a torrent of high-profile titles — some indies, some already set for release — that will keep festgoers (and hopefully the rest of the world, eventually) busy with quality new movies for a while. The full programs for the Premieres, Spotlight, Midnight and the remaining Sundance sections are after the jump.

Keith Powell on the 30 Rock Writers Room, Tina Fey’s Rise to Fame and the Science of Cheers

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on Keith Powell on the 30 Rock Writers Room, Tina Fey’s Rise to Fame and the Science of Cheers

Keith Powell may play the stuffy, Harvard-educated writer James “Toofer” Spurlock on 30 Rock , but he’s (wait for it!) downright approachable in real life. The Tisch graduate grew up a theater/film/TV nerd in Philadelphia and hasn’t lost his ebullience for the hard work of doing funny right. We caught up with Powell to discuss Tina Fey, long shoots on 30 Rock , and what we can expect from the TGS with Tracy Jordan writers room in the weeks to come.

Discuss: This Man is Actually Co-Hosting the Oscars

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on Discuss: This Man is Actually Co-Hosting the Oscars

In all sincerity, I am excited about James Franco co-hosting the Oscars with Anne Hathaway. I like him, I like her, and surely we can all agree is that the show will either rock in completely fresh, unprecedented ways, or it will explode in a spectacular, Chernobyl-esque ball of radioactive flame and debris, polluting its Hollywood environs for decades to come. Regardless, we’re going to have ourselves a memory! That said, I’m not sure on which scenario I’d bet after seeing Franco’s bit in the awards-season actor’s roundtable after the jump. Help?

VIDEO: Ron Weasley Really Wants Some ‘Beigels’

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on VIDEO: Ron Weasley Really Wants Some ‘Beigels’

Of all the Harry Potter kid stars, Rupert Grint might be my favorite. After all, this is a guy who bought an ice cream truck when he got his driver’s license… just because he always wanted to have an ice cream truck . With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that this video of Grint and some of his London club kid friends staggering through the street looking for “beigels” (to paraphrase Michael Bluth, we just call it a bagel) is probably the best thing I’ve seen all week. Look at Ron Weasley all grown up and wearing rouge! Click ahead to watch the magic . (Nyuck, nyuck.)

Can James Franco and Anne Hathaway Save the Oscars for Generation Y?

Posted on December 2, 2010 by | Comments Off on Can James Franco and Anne Hathaway Save the Oscars for Generation Y?

The stages of reaction to the news that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the Academy Awards next year are turning over at a record pace. There was initial shock at the randomness of their selection; the acceptance that maybe the pair would make beautiful — if awkward — music together; and now, the rationalizations for putting them on the Kodak Theater stage in the first place. “This year’s telecast isn’t just about ‘getting to the youth’ — its whole theme is going to reflect on this history of movies through the perspective of a young person experiencing the movies for the first time,” an insider told Vulture . Which is a fancy way of saying it’s about getting to the youth.
