Could Ryan Murphy’s New FX Project American Horror Story Be Good For Glee?

Just two days after Fox aired a mediocre episode of Glee entitled “The Comeback,” co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchack have announced their own comeback. The pair are returning to the network’s cable offshoot FX — where they created Nip/Tuck — to film a mysterious pilot called American Horror Story . While no details were given about the subject matter of the project — other than the fact that the hour-long drama will begin production in April — we here at Movieline HQ think that the diversion might actually be the perfect remedy for the creators of Fox’s tired musical series.

Berlinale Dispatch: The Good News (and Bad News) About Iran

There are just two days of screenings left at the Berlinale — the prizes are awarded on Sunday — but today is my last day at the festival, my day of reckoning. This is the point at which I look back on everything I’ve seen and, more wrenchingly, tote up everything I wanted to see but missed. While I’ve tried to chase down most of the films screening in competition here, day by day my colleagues have been feeding me recommendations from the Panorama and Forum sections of the festival, which showcase films that generally have smaller budgets and take larger risks. I didn’t get to see many of those pictures, and that’s where my deepest regret lies.

Where Will Meet Monica Velour Rank on a List of Hilariously Bad Kim Cattrall Movies?

It’s unofficially Kim Cattrall Day at Movieline! Woo! How dubious! First we got our anti-hopes up for Sex and the City 3 , and now new pictures from Cattrall’s film Meet Monica Velour are out . In the indie drama, she plays an ’80s porn star who starts a romance with a teenage superfan in Indiana. Let’s take a gander and see if this looks worse or “better” than Bonfire of the Vanities and Mannequin .

‘The Script is Ruined, So the Movie is Ruined’: Michael Cristofer on The Bonfire of the Vanities at 20

Michael Cristofer is mostly known to recent audiences as the Corn Flakes-eating, conspiracy-plotting Truxton Spangler on the recently cancelled AMC series, Rubicon . What fans of Rubicon may not have realized is that Cristofer is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter who adapted Tom Wolfe’s bestselling novel The Bonfire of the Vanities for the screen — an adaptation, which, 20 years ago this week, became one of the biggest screen disasters of all time.

Bad Movies We Love: Chastity

The original Movieline magazine ran a bunch of great features, but the most lamented one has to be Bad Movies We Love. The world never runs out of horrible, adorable films, and that’s because they’re the most gratifying to talk about. I haven’t discussed my favorite movie, Rear Window , as much as I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze , and that’s because James Stewart and Grace Kelly never rapped with Vanilla Ice about crime-fighting humanoids (though you never know about Thelma Ritter). The point of it all: Thanks to the infinite, Biblical, pathetic joy that bad cinema produces, we’re exhuming Bad Movies We Love in weekly installments. Throw your vanities in a bonfire and join us!
