Dustin Hoffman Finally Joins Little Fockers in Reshoots

Sure, Little Fockers wrapped filming months ago, but it’s not too late to add a major cast member, is it? Deadline is reporting that the Meet the Parents sequel finally reached a deal to bring Dustin Hoffman back, and they’ll add his scenes via reshoots. “Universal continues to spin that Little Fockers could have gone out ‘as is’ since it scored an ’85’ for the top 2 boxes with test audiences,” says Deadline, but the studio would not rest until the film was as good as it can be, which makes me wonder if anyone at the studio actually watched Meet the Fockers .

Despite Jimmy Fallon’s Best Efforts, Twitter Doesn’t Care About the Emmy Awards

Credit Jimmy Fallon for bringing his same sense of imagination to hosting the Emmy Awards that he does on a nightly basis to hosting The Late Show : In addition to the controversial Mad Men spoofs and an opening bit that may include Kate Gosselin (and hopefully another episode of ” 6-Bee “) Fallon has announced that he’s going to select 15 tweets from regular viewers to help introduce celebrity presenters like Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and, hilariously, Laurence Fishburne. The only problem? No one cares.

REVIEW: Peru’s Burdens Slow Down Oscar-Nominated Milk of Sorrow

“Only death is obligatory,” Noe (Efraín Solis) says in The Milk of Sorrow , “the rest is because we want to.” After earning a rare measure of trust from Fausta (Magaly Solier), a traumatized young Peruvian villager who has just lost her mother, Noe becomes exasperated with the extreme fear that circumscribes her life. A gardener at the Lima estate where Fausta takes a job as a maid, he bridges the film’s metaphorical distance between the godless, pragmatic privilege of the city and the deterministic mythologizing of the rural poor, literally: He is the only outsider she will allow to escort her home in the evenings, she being too terrified to walk alone.
