6 Dos and Don’ts for Steve Carell’s Post-Office Career

Thursday night on The Office , Steve Carell’s Michael Scott proposed to his girlfriend Holly (Amy Ryan) and informed his co-workers that he is moving to Colorado. This makes us all sad — we love Michael Scott, and we love Steve Carell! And while Carell has what should be a long and illustrious movie career ahead of him, we’ve seen sure things go off the rails plenty of times before. As such, Movieline offers these instructive lessons from watching those small-screen stars who’ve gone big-screen before him.

Mildred Pierce Is the Film Event of the Year So Far — And It’s on HBO

To my previous rule of “Only Remake Bad Movies, Not Good Ones,” let me add the codicil, “But It’s OK to Remake Good Ones If the Original Strayed from the Source Material.” Because that’s what Todd Haynes does in his breathtaking five-part HBO adaptation of James M. Cain’s Mildred Pierce (premiering this Sunday, March 27). Rather than try to summon the magic that made the 1945 version so memorable (Joan Crawford won a well-deserved Oscar in the title role), Haynes goes back to the original Cain novel to tell a story that fans of the original movie know only in bits and pieces.

TRAILER: The Silent House Offers Horror in One, Uninterrupted 79-Minute Shot

How effective is horror, a genre defined by tricky edits and Neve Campbell’s harried grimace, when its thrills are conveyed in one continuous shot? Gustavo Hernández’s 2010 Cannes selection The Silent House — which comes out in the UK this April — wants to answer that. In the new trailer (which, counterintuitively, is a patchwork of quick cuts) young actress Florencia Colucci tries to flee an ominous house in rural Uruguay, but some dark-ass force has her number.

Woody Harrelson to Advise John McCain in Game Change

Another day, another casting announcement for HBO’ s Game Change , the movie about the 2008 presidential campaign.
