‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’: Wizard War, By Kurt Loder

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Nicolas Cage in an action-packed fantasy epic that’s not just for kids. Nicolas Cage in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” Photo: Disney Kid flicks have ruled this summer, with movies like “Toy Story 3,” “The Karate Kid” and “Despicable Me” racking up box-office grosses far beyond industry predictions. Now comes “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” which looks likely to repeat that money-minting feat. Like all great kid flicks, though, it’s too good — too fast and too funny — to be confined within the “family film” ghetto. It’s a Disney picture, of course, derived from a segment of the studio’s 1940 animated classic, “Fantasia,” in which apprentice sorcerer Mickey Mouse did battle with a platoon of out-of-control buckets and mops. For this live-action version of the tale, that eight-minute episode has been much-enlarged (although thanks to some of the year’s tightest editing, the movie still runs well under two hours). Now the story begins in 740 A.D., with the legendary sorcerer Merlin bequeathing his magical secrets to three acolytes, Balthazar (Nicolas Cage, back in top comic form), Horvath (Alfred Molina) and Veronica (Monica Belluci). But Horvath is secretly in league with the evil Morgana Le Fay (Alice Krige), who wants to use Merlin’s secrets to (what else?) “enslave mankind.” Morgana knows that Balthazar loves Veronica, so she takes possession of Veronica’s body. Balthazar is torn, but Veronica implores him to imprison her (and her inner Morgana) within a Grimhold — a nesting-doll contraption designed as a repository for all sorts of nasty Morganians. The director, Disney vet Jon Turteltaub, sketches in this prologue with gratifying brevity. The story then leaps ahead some 1,200 years. The immortal Balthazar is now the proprietor of a curio shop in downtown Manhattan. When a boy named Dave (Jake Cherry) blunders into his store one day, Balthazar — who still has the Grimhold, and has been searching for a kid to turn into a supremely great sorcerer, the “Prime Merlinean” — realizes that Dave is the one. But then Horvath materializes in the cluttered store, a fantastical wizard fight ensues, and the Grimhold is lost (well, misplaced). Jumping ahead another 10 years, we find that the grown-up Dave (Jay Baruchel) is now an NYU physics student well on his way to becoming a career nerd. Balthazar reappears to instruct him in the magical arts he’ll need to help recover the Grimhold. But Horvath is back on the scene, too, and soon recruits his own apprentice, a celebrity illusionist named Drake (Toby Kebbell, delightfully daft), whose rock-star affectations — snakeskin pants, bleached rooster hairdo — are decidedly post-Merlinean. (“Are you in Depeche Mode?” someone asks.) Now the furious hunt for the Grimhold gets underway in earnest. The movie’s action, which rarely lets up, is a stunning blend of practical stunt-work and highly-imaginative CGI. (And the digital effects are so precisely applied that very little of what we see here looks like a cartoon.) You’re still marveling at a huge metal eagle that has sprung to life on the side of the Chrysler Building (Balthazar climbs aboard and flies away on it), when a frantic car chase (this is a Jerry Bruckheimer movie) gets underway, tearing through traffic-clogged Times Square, with Balthazar’s Rolls-Royce transforming into an SUV and Horvath’s Mercedes morphing into a Ferrari, a taxi and a scary garbage truck. (In one of the movie’s cleverest inventions, the two antagonists careen into a mirror-world universe in which all the famous Times Square signage is reverse-lettered). Then there’s a spectacular sequence set amid the confetti-blizzard of a clamorous Chinatown street parade, in which Balthazar and Dave are menaced by an exotic Morganian called Sun Lok (Gregory Woo) and a papier-m

Lindsay Lohan’s Legal Troubles: A Timeline

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Actress’ 90-day jail sentence is hardly her first brush with the law. By Kelley L. Carter Lindsay Lohan in court Tuesday Photo: MTV News Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in a drug rehab center on Tuesday (July 6) for violating probation, but it was hardly the actress’ first brush with the law. MTV News takes a look back at Lohan’s legal issues, as well as her trouble with drugs and drinking: February 2, 2005 : A personal-injury suit is filed against Lohan by Eddie Pamilton and Ilex Harris, who claim the actress injured them in a traffic accident that took place the year before. October 4, 2005 : Lohan is transported to a hospital for minor injuries after she crashed her car into another vehicle in West Hollywood, California. The then-19-year-old actress collided into the passenger’s side of a van that was turning in front of her, which then collided with a parked van. A passenger in Lohan’s car and the driver of the van suffered moderate injuries and were transported by ambulance to an undisclosed hospital. January 2006 : Vanity Fair reports that Lohan admitted she had bulimia during an interview, but Lohan denies that she has an eating disorder . The article quotes Lohan as saying, “I was sick. Everyone was scared. And I was scared too. I had people sit me down and say, ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself.’ ” January 2007 : Lohan checks into rehab for the first time. “I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health,” the singer says in a statement. “I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time.” In December, Lohan’s publicist revealed that Lohan had been voluntarily attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. May 26, 2007 : Lohan gets arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after her Mercedes convertible strikes a curb in Los Angeles. Police reported that they found a substance they believe to be cocaine at the scene. May 28, 2007 : Lohan checks into rehab again . “Lindsay admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility on Memorial Day,” a representative for the singer/actress says in a statement. “Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility.” June 14, 2007 : Lohan is accused of being drunk when she crashed into a parked van in Beverly Hills in October 2005, according to a lawsuit. Raymundo Ortega claims Lohan — who was 19 years old at the time — “consumed alcohol and became intoxicated” at the Ivy restaurant before the accident. July, 14, 2007 : Lohan checks out of Promises rehab facility after more than six weeks and celebrates the end of her 45-day stay by soberly partying with some friends at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas. July 24, 2007 : Less than two weeks after leaving a rehabilitation facility, Lohan is pulled over by police early in the morning and arrested on five counts, including driving under the influence of alcohol, driving on a suspended license and possession of narcotics. Lohan checks into an undisclosed rehab facility hours after the arrest. August 14, 2007 : Lohan gets sued again , this time for assault and negligence by one of the passengers who was traveling in the car the actress allegedly chased the month prior while driving under the influence. August 23, 2007 : Lohan gets charged with seven misdemeanor counts for her two DUI arrests earlier that year. She reaches a plea deal, saying she would spend one day in jail, serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug-treatment program. Lohan is placed on 36 months’ probation and required to complete an 18-month alcohol-education program and pay hundreds of dollars in fines. She also is to finish a three-day county coroner program that required her to visit a morgue and talk to victims of drunken drivers. “It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs,” Lohan writes in a statement released to MTV News. October 5, 2007 : Lohan leaves a two-month rehab stint at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah. She is also seen with her estranged father, Michael, who was carrying her suitcases. December 31, 2007 : In a video posted on TMZ, Lohan drinks straight from a bottle of champagne while partying in Italy. October 16, 2009 : Lohan shows up more than an hour late to a probation hearing in Beverly Hills for a progress review on her two DUI cases. She gets another year of probation tacked on due to failure to complete alcohol-education classes as required. April 26, 2010 : Lohan is asked to leave the film “The Other Side.” The director says Lohan was fired because she is not “bankable.” June 8, 2010 : A Beverly Hills judge issues an arrest warrant for Lohan and orders her to post $200,000 bail after she violates a court order to not consume alcohol while wearing a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet . The warrant is recalled after bail is posted . July 6, 2010 : Lohan is sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for violating her probation.

‘Dogtooth’: Home School, By Kurt Loder

Posted on June 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The kids aren’t all right. No wonder. “Dogtooth” Photo: Boo Productions “Dogtooth” is an art movie from Greece that’s so open-ended, you wonder if whatever it is it’s supposed to mean has dribbled out the back door. For the first 20 minutes or so, anyway. Then a story begins to gather shape, and the picture, already strange, becomes very creepy. Three nameless siblings, two girls and a boy, apparently in their late teens, live in a remotely located house with their father (Christos Stergioglou) and mother (Michele Valley). In the sizable grounds outside, there are palm trees and a swimming pool and a high wooden fence that rings the entire property. The kids, we eventually realize, have never been allowed to venture beyond this barrier. Inside, there’s a television set, but it’s used only to show boring family videotapes shot by their father. There’s one telephone, but it’s hidden at the back of a shelf — the kids have never seen it. Their days pass blandly. They are home-schooled by their mother in a most unusual way. Her vocabulary instruction imparts the information that a carbine is a bird and a zombie is a little yellow flower. Occasionally, the father has his son (Hristos Passalis) and two daughters (Aggeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni) get down on all fours and bark like dogs. The father is a boss at a nondescript factory. We see him arriving home in his Mercedes with an employee, a young woman named Christina (Anna Kalaitzidou), who has been blindfolded for the drive. The father takes her into his son’s bedroom and leaves. Christina and the son shed their clothes and have perfunctory sex. (The sex and the full-frontal nudity in the movie have the arousing quality of a calculus lecture.) When they’re done, the father takes Christina back to the factory. The movie offers small islands of incident. When a cat — an alien creature — finds its way onto the property one day, the son responds violently. (PETA people will want to avert their eyes at this point.) The siblings explore each other’s bodies in a bathtub, wordlessly, as if tracing the shapes on statues. When Christina, on another of her regular visits, sneaks into the bedroom of one of the girls, offering a small gift, the girl says, “What do I have to lick?” Is there any escape from this bizarre existence? Theoretically, yes. The children have been told they can leave home as soon as their canine teeth — their dogteeth — fall out. The kids don’t realize that this means never. Not in any natural way. The story is inscrutable. Is it an indictment of home schooling? Of middle-class paranoia? Of what? The distinctively talented director, Giorgos Lanthimos, offers no answers, or even suggestions. He observes the family with placid objectivity. When someone in a facial closeup is doing something with his hands, we don’t see it. When a character stands up out of frame, the camera stays put. (The shots are beautifully composed.) Even at the end, when we’re hoping for a jailbreak moment, the director leaves us hanging in itchy uncertainty. The movie is irritating and disturbing, and when it’s over, we want to put it behind us. It just won’t stay there.

‘Glee’ Yearbook Superlatives: We Name The Best Of The Season

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The best Rachel solos to the most ridiculous story lines, we’re honoring the show’s breakout moments and stars. The cast of “Glee” Photo: FOX New Directions may not have won regionals on the season finale of “Glee,” but the misfits of McKinley High certainly gave their rivals a run for their money. And since they didn’t actually take the trophy, we’ve come up with our own way of honoring the hard-working Gleeks: Some yearbook-style superlatives that we feel perfectly sum up the first season. Best Music We’ve known Rachel could sing from the first note of “Les Miz,” but with so many numbers to choose from, it’s hard to decide which was her best. Mercedes also got a lot of solo time, but her greatest moment wasn’t the show-stopping “Dreamgirls” number you’d expect.

Gleebasing: Just What the Doctor Ordered

Posted on May 19, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Ever since Schue & the Gang returned to Fox last month, Glee ‘s formula has been a little off. Storylines worthy of an afterschool special have come and gone, rarely continuing from one episode to the next; while Mercedes went on a diet , Kurt tried to butch up for his father and everyone got empowered through Madonna , the writers have dropped the first-string romantic arcs (Schue and Emma, Finn and Rachel) for dead-end flirtations (Burt Hummel and Carole Hudson, anyone?) Good news, though: guest director Joss Whedon ushered the show back into its heartstring-tugging, foot-tapping wheelhouse with last night’s episode, “Dream On.” It had big reveals, bigger emotions, and no one was dressed up like a hamburger . So grab your notebooks and get the notes on last night’s episode — and remember, there will be a pop quiz.

‘Glee’ Turns ‘The Boy Is Mine,’ ‘Jesse’s Girl’ Into Fight Songs

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In ‘Laryngitis,’ Lea Michele’s Rachel murders Miley Cyrus’ ‘The Climb.’ By Jean Bentley The cast of “Glee” on Tuesday’s episode Photo: FOX It’s funny that during the week where “Glee” patriarch Mr. Schuester tasked the New Directions kids with finding solos that encapsulated their current life situations, so many of the characters stepped out of their normal roles instead. Tuesday’s episode of “Glee” was all about transformations: Kurt’s attempt to get his father’s attention transformed him into a flannel-wearing everyman; Puck’s shaved Mohawk transformed the popular jock into a less-intimidating (and less-popular) Gleek; and Rachel’s tonsillitis transformed the diva into a newly humble do-gooder. Lea Michele better watch her back, because the Kurt-centric plotlines with Chris Colfer kicking out the Broadway jams are slowly becoming the highlight of each week. Kurt’s still-unresolved daddy issues (examined rather snoozily in “Home” ) were dug up again as the young Cheerio spent the entirety of “Laryngitis” yearning for his father’s approval. Burt Hummel was still leaning on Finn for father-son bonding trips to baseball games and other manly activities, making Kurt jealous. Instead of, you know, talking to his father, Kurt decided that donning trucker hats, making out with Brittany and singing some John Mellencamp (“Pink Houses”) in an unsettling growl would endear him to his pops. (Imagine how hard it was for the fashionista — who gets distracted watching baseball because “there’s no excuse for stirrup pants” — to even touch flannel.) Shocker: It didn’t work. Even less of a shocker: Burt, who has already proved to be more understanding and accepting of his son’s homosexuality than anyone really expected, watched Kurt destroy (in the best way possible) the Broadway classic “Rose’s Turn” from “Gypsy” and finally had a heart-to-heart with his son, vowing to include him more in so-called “manly” bonding time. Puck finally landed a main plotline when his notorious Mohawk was forcibly shaved off. Sans edgy haircut, the McKinley High geeks were now able to look Puck in the eye and even throw him in the Dumpster. To get his reputation back on track, he decided to hook up with the newly popular “black girl from glee club whose name I can’t remember right now,” a.k.a. Mercedes. Rather smartly, Mercedes spurned Puck’s advances at first. But she finally gave in to the bad boy after he serenaded her with his glee club solo pick, Sammy Davis Jr.’s jazzy version of “Lady Is a Tramp.” Babymama Quinn gave Mercedes her blessing, but warned that he was only using her, and that Puck’s other paramour, Santana, wouldn’t be as accepting. Quinn was right, and an epic catfight brewed. This being “Glee,” of course, the fisticuffs were musical: Santana and Mercedes dueted on a fantastic “Glee”-ification of Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine.” But after seeing Puck go back to his bullying ways once his rep was back to normal, Mercedes decided that she didn’t want to be a part of the popularity hierarchy after all and quit the Cheerios. Rachel came down with a severe case of tonsillitis, and absolutely murdered Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb.” Frantic that a tonsillectomy would ruin her singing voice, she spent the majority of the week panicking about her illness. Finn smartly used Rachel’s vulnerability and Jesse’s absence (he was on spring break with his Vocal Adrenaline friends) to ease his way back into Rachel’s heart. His solo, of course: “Jesse’s Girl.” To calm Rachel down, Finn took her to visit a buddy from football camp who was paralyzed from the chest down during a game. When he couldn’t play football anymore, he found out he was really good at math and enjoyed singing. He helped Rachel realize that she had other things going on too. She could be good at things other than singing. As a thank you, Rachel offered to give him voice lessons once a week, and led him in a rendition of U2’s “One.” What did you think of the Mercedes/Puck romance? Are you excited for Neil Patrick Harris to guest-star next week? Share your Gleekiest thoughts in the comments!

‘A House Is Not A Home,’ ‘One Less Bell To Answer’ Turn ‘Glee’ Into A Tearjerker

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Music director Adam Anders talks about last night’s Kristin Chenoweth/ Matthew Morrison mash-up. By Audrey Kim Kristen Chenoweth in the “Home” episode of “Glee” Photo: FOX When Gleeks tuned into Tuesday night’s episode of “Glee,” what they saw was the return of Broadway powerhouse, Kristin Chenoweth’s guilty pleasure April Rhodes. What Gleeks needed by night’s end was a box of Kleenex. The night’s musical performances were heartfelt covers and mash-ups that showcased Chenoweth, Amber Riley’s newly Cheerio’d Mercedes, Chris Colfer’s soulful Kurt and a lot of songs about home, thanks to “Glee” music producer Adam Anders. “One of the most amazing moments in this episode is the duet between Matthew Morrison and Kristin Chenoweth, a mash-up between Burt Bacharach and [sung by] Barbra Streisand [of the 1971 Bacharach/ Hal David medley, ‘One Less Bell to Answer’/ A House Is Not a Home’],” Anders told MTV News at his recording studio in Hollywood. “It was shot as one scene that never breaks. It’s stunning. I was blown away when I saw it and had chills and tears.” For Anders, whose production schedule requires him to work at a breakneck speed, churning out six to 11 musical numbers a week, this third episode of the back nine moved him the most out of all the episodes he’s done so far. While the episode started off on an upbeat note with a Bruce Springsteen cover of “Fire,” sung again as a duet by Matthew Morrison’s Will Schuester and relentless flirt April Rhodes, “Home” was not one to be taken lightly. Another tearjerker in the episode was Kurt’s performance of Bacharach’s “A House Is Not a Home.” Anders called Colfer’s rendition of the Bacharach staple “the most emotional song we’ve ever done.” And as for Kurt’s pal Mercedes’ moving rendition of Christina Aguilera’s 2002 hit ballad “Beautiful,” Anders said it almost didn’t happen. “Amber Riley didn’t want to sing it,” he said. “Don’t let her tell you otherwise. She really respects Christina Aguilera and wanted to do it justice. Like when she did, ‘And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going,’ she was really nervous about it. But as everyone knows, she killed it.” What was your favorite song on last night’s “Glee”? Share your reviews in the comments.

‘Glee’ Recap: Madonna Invades William McKinley High

Posted on April 20, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sue Sylvester takes center stage during the all-Madonna episode. By Jean Bentley Lea Michele, Amber Riley, Jenna Ushkowitz and Chris Colfer in “Glee” Photo: FOX Tuesday’s (April 20) all-Madonna episode of “Glee” imparted an important lesson: Even the almighty Material Girl can be upstaged by the power of Sue Sylvester. From her shot-for-shot remake of Madonna’s “Vogue” music video to her extra-acerbic insults of Will Schuester’s hair, the Cheerios coach was just on. At most high schools, Madonna songs blaring at high volume over the loudspeaker would prove to be a bit distracting. Then again, most schools aren’t William McKinley High, where Sue blackmailed Principal Figgins into playing her idol’s music full blast to inspire the students to be more independent and powerful. (This also, conveniently, allowed as many Madonna songs as possible to be squeezed into the 44-minute episode.) Sue had her Cheerios harness Madge’s power by encouraging them to troll the middle school for younger boyfriends and abandon their last names. She also choreographed a routine to “Ray of Light” involving stilts (not creepy — in fact, amazing) and hurled her greatest one-liner yet: “Sloppy freak-show babies. Somewhere in the English countryside in a stately manor home, Madonna is weeping.” Following Sue’s lead, Will made New Directions brainstorm Madonna numbers in an attempt to empower the female glee clubbers and discourage the guys’ misogynistic tendencies. This brilliant idea struck him when he overheard Rachel asking the female gleeks for hypothetical romantic advice after her new boyfriend tried to get her to do it after a Wiggles concert. (Remember, Rachel and Vocal Adrenaline’s Jesse St. James are secretly dating.) Unfortunately, guidance counselor Emma was no help. As we learned last week, she’s a virgin, too, but she did have some pretty hilarious sex-education brochures. After Rachel’s girl-power-y “Express Yourself,” her duet with Finn on the “Borderline/ Open Your Heart” mash-up, and a clandestine meeting with Jesse in the Steven Sondheim biography section of the library, where he apologized for pressuring her, she decided she would have sex with Jesse after all. But Rachel wasn’t the only character contemplating losing her virginity: Emma took to heart Sue’s quip that she wasn’t powerful enough to have Madonna piped into her office and told Will it was on. Foreplay would start at 7:30 sharp. And Santana decided Finn was the younger, inferior man she needed in order to emulate Madonna. The resulting (and inevitable) “Like a Virgin” extravaganza followed the three couples on their sexual adventures and was perhaps the best “Glee” number yet, as far as integrating the song and choreography into the plot and allowing multiple characters to sing solos. All six shared vocal duties — even Santana! And she sounded great. Still, it turns out that not all the couples went through with the deed. Although she told Finn the next day that she did it, Rachel didn’t actually leave the bathroom, even as Jesse implored her to “Just come out so we can talk. Or sing about it.” Jesse’s solution: transferring to McKinley to prove how much he respected Rachel. Finn, on the other hand, lied and said he didn’t do it when he actually did. Emma chickened out and ran home barefoot. She and Will decided Monday that they’d readdress their sexual chemistry after his divorce was official and she got help for her OCD. Kurt and Mercedes made the Sue Sylvester “Vogue” video as a multimedia presentation for their New Directions Madonna song (it’s almost indescribably amazing), and they were rewarded for their hard work in the form of positions as the Cheerios’ new lead singers, roles they debuted with a cover of the Madonna/ Justin Timberlake duet “4 Minutes.” Closing out the episode was a take on “What It Feels Like for a Girl” from the boys and a show-stopping “Like a Prayer,” complete with gospel choir, from the whole gang. Did the all-Madonna episode live up to its hype? Sound off in the comments!

Kim Kardashian: Spotted Snogging Cristiano Ronaldo!

Posted on April 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Reggie Bush may be moving on with Jessie James , but Kim Kardashian isn’t standing around and letting her large breasts go to waste. One of Great Britian’s leading tabloids reports that Kim was spotted this week with soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo – and the pair were snogging up a storm! “She and Ronaldo were kissing and very affectionate,” an onlooker told The Sun . “They looked to be getting on really well, laughing the whole time.” But the hook-up didn’t end there: witnesses claim Kim jumped into a chauffeur-driven Mercedes G-Wagon later in the night, followed Ronaldo (in his Audi) back to his place, and stayed for approximately four hours. She left the next day for the States, seemingly content with lapping up the sloppy seconds of her former BFF. If Ronaldo had planned on tapping the backsides of Kardashian and Paris Hilton, one might say he’s accomplished his GOOOOOAAAAAL! (One might also recommend a trip to the free clinic.)

Moreover, the show will release a CD full of these Madonna singles. It just keeps getting better, doesn’t it?
