2015 Romantic Comedies Preview
Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis star in ‘Sleeping with Other People’

Looking over the list of upcoming 2015 romantic comedies it’s easy to see studios have dramatically cut down on the number of rom coms they’re producing. The majority of the romantic comedies heading to theaters or are slotted as straight to DVD/online releases are independent productions, and few have big names in the lead. The genre’s popularity has decreased and studios no longer have actresses like a Sandra Bullock or a Meg Ryan (remember the days when she headlined rom coms?) that can draw in audiences. Still, fans of romantic comedies aren’t completely left high and dry as there are a sprinkling of intriguing titles on this list of 2015 releases.

John Oliver Takes on New Year's Eve

According to the host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, New Year’s Eve is like the death of a pet. “You know it’s going to happen but somehow you’re never really prepared for how truly awful it is,” said Oliver in a new video posted to the show’s YouTube page. Oliver points out the three things that make New Year’s Eve the worst holiday of the year (and yes, one of them involves having to stare at Ryan Seacrest), and offers some helpful suggestions on how to get out of celebrating the final night of the year.

Top 10 Best Supporting Actresses of 2014

Sorry all of you Boyhood fans, but this is one Best Supporting Actress list that doesn’t include that film’s Patricia Arquette. Those in the business of predicting who Oscar voters will nominate have Arquette as not only a sure thing to make the cut but also as the eventual winner in the Best Supporting Actress category. And while she was terrific in that film, I was more impressed by the performances of other actresses in 2014 theatrical releases.

Top 10 Best Supporting Actresses


1. Keira Knightley – The Imitation Game

2. Noomi Rapace – The Drop

3. Tilda Swinton – Snowpiercer and The Grand Budapest Hotel

4. Kelly Reilly – Calvary

5. Anna Kendrick – Into the Woods

6. Rene Russo – Nightcrawler

7. Carrie Coon – Gone Girl

8. Jessica Chastain – A Most Violent Year

9. Emma Stone – Birdman

10. Meryl Streep – Into the Woods

Honorable mentions: Georgina Haig (The Mule), Adriana Barraza (Cake), Kim Dickens (Gone Girl), and Laura Dern (Wild).

BBC and The Weinstein Company are adapting Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel War And Peace with Andrew Davies writing and Tom Harper (Woman In Black: Angel Of Death) directing, and they’ve set Lily James, Paul Dano, and James Norton to star in the event series. Filming on the six-episode one hour drama is expected to begin early next year in Russia.

In addition to Dano, James, and Norton, the cast includes Stephen Rea, Ade Edmondson, Greta Scacchi, Jack Lowden, Tom Burke, and Aisling Loftus.

Commenting on being cast to play Natasha, James said, “I am very excited and privileged to be playing Natasha, in this co-production between BBC and The Weinstein Company, of Tolstoy’s classic War And Peace. It is amazing to be part of such a prestigious cast and to appear in such a beautiful and rich adaptation by Andrew Davies.”

“I’m thrilled to be entrusted with Andrei in this exciting adaptation. It’s a privilege to bring to life one of Tolstoy’s wonderfully rich and conflicted characters,” stated Norton. “And to get to work alongside talents such as Tom Harper, Andrew Davies, Lily James, and Paul Dano is very exciting – I can’t wait to get started.”

“When I came to War And Peace for the first time, rather late in life, I was struck by how fresh and modern the characters and relationships felt. It’s a story of the hopes and dreams of youth, set against the titanic background of the Napoleonic wars. Three characters at the centre: Pierre, the bumbling, chaotic idealist; Prince Andrei, whose cool Darcy-like exterior conceals huge emotional conflict; and Natasha Rostova, possibly the most appealing heroine in literature. These three are surrounded by a gallery of unforgettable characters – we get love, friendship, huge swings of fortune, betrayals, tragedy, and a surprising amount of comedy too,” added Davies.

The drama series will be executive produced by Davies, BBC Wales Head of Drama Faith Penhale, BBC Cymru Wales’ Bethan Jones, Harvey Weinstein, Robert Walak, and Simon Vaughan.

Ben Barnes and Michael Raymond-James star in The History Channel’s limited series Sons of Liberty. The six-part series is directed by Kari Skogland and will air over three consecutive nights, beginning on January 25, 2015.

Ben Barnes plays Sam Adams, Michael Raymond-James is Paul Revere, Rafe Spall stars as John Hancock, and Ryan Eggold is Joseph Warren. Henry Thomas is John Adams, Marton Csokas plays Thomas Gage, Emily Berrington is Margaret Gage, Dean Norris plays Benjamin Franklin, and Jason O’Mara stars as George Washington.

The Synopsis: The six-part miniseries follows a defiant and radical group of young men – Sam Adams, John Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Joseph Warren – as they band together in secrecy to change the course of history and make America a nation. Calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, they light the spark that ignited a revolution. Though their names have become American legend, this group of young rebels didn’t start off as noble patriots in powdered wigs. They were a new American generation of young men from varied backgrounds struggling to find purpose in their lives. They were looking for equality, but they found something greater: Independence.

‘The Interview’ Movie Review – A Lot of Fuss Over a Few Laughs

By

The Interview Movie Review
Sook (Diana Bang) with Aaron (Seth Rogen) and Dave (James Franco) in Columbia Pictures´ THE INTERVIEW
(Photo © 2014 CTMG, Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un (Randall Park) is a closeted Katy Perry fan, has been led to believe Margaritas are a gay drink, and is addicted to an entertainment show featuring a vapid host who gets celebs to reveal deep dark secrets in the Sony Pictures comedy The Interview from writer/directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Rogen and Goldberg are the team behind This Is The End, a much better comedy overall, and had The Interview not set off a ridiculous reaction by hackers supported by North Korea that escalated to the point where theaters were threatened with attacks if Sony released it as planned, it’s likely their latest film’s lifespan in theaters would have been short and unmemorable.

However, the decision by major theater chains not to screen the film, Sony’s subsequent decision to delay its release, and the rallying around The Interview by independent theater owners which caused Sony to reverse its decision and release it in select locations as well as online made paying to see the movie into a kind of patriot duty. Paying $5.99 to watch it on Youtube or via another online outlet was a way of showing the terrorists they couldn’t win. Taking in a screening at one of the 300ish independent theaters served the dual purpose of showing North Korea they couldn’t hold art hostage and saying thanks to theater owners who committed to making sure the film would get a theatrical run. Of course, there were also Rogen/Franco/comedy movie fans who checked it out simply because they would have seen the film even if it hadn’t caused a firestorm of protest from a country led by a madman. For all the harm the hackers caused Sony and its employees, and for all the hoopla surrounding its nonrelease-then-limited-release, you’d hope the movie at the heart of the controversy would be worth all the fuss. Unfortunately, while The Interview does have some truly funny moments, actually taking in a screening of the movie is a bit of a letdown after all the 24 hour news coverage leading up to its December 24 (online) and December 25 (in theaters) release.

In a nutshell, The Interview‘s about an Inside Edition-type entertainment show hosted by Dave Skylark (James Franco) and produced by Aaron Rapaport (Rogen). After finding out North Korea’s leader is a fan of the show, Rapaport secures an exclusive interview for Skylark in North Korea with Kim Jong-un in hopes of taking the show in a more serious direction. The much-anticipated one-on-one is hijacked by the CIA with an operation led by Agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan) to enlist Skylark and Rapaport to kill Kim Jong-un.

As expected, Skylark is the absolute worst choice when it comes to assassinating a dictator and much of The Interview involves the bonding between Skylark and the North Korean leader. Basketball’s played, Katy Perry songs are sung, and the two commiserate over their fathers disapproval and unrealistically high expectations, and how that’s messed up their lives. And while Dave’s bonding with Jong-un and putting the leader’s murder on the back burner, Aaron’s busy falling for the sexy propaganda minister (played by Diana Bang) charged with making sure the live broadcast goes off as scripted. Fortunately for the future of the world, Aaron never loses sight of the endgame even while lusting after his North Korean handler.


The Bottom Line:

What The Interview definitely isn’t is a biting political satire. What it is is an R-rated comedy with celebrity cameos, butthole jokes, a huge action set piece, and an adorable puppy. And while the film’s plot centers around the assassination of North Korea’s leader, it’s really about the relationship between Franco’s Dave Skylark and Rogen’s Aaron Rapaport. Franco’s got the over-the-top celebrity interviewer character down pat, mugging like crazy while coming across as surprisingly likable and naive. Also surprisingly likable is Park’s Kim Jong-un, that is until he unveils his true psychotic self.

Rogen and Goldberg could have used a fictional country and leader, but given the jokes in the film it would have been apparent to all – including Kim Jong-un – who the filmmakers had in mind as the target of the assassination attempt. Still, had they opted to switch up the names it might have put less of a bullseye on both the studio and the film itself, but that’s pure conjecture.

The Interview could have lost 20 minutes or so as the pacing slogs down about halfway through. Rogen and Goldberg also relied on so many easy jokes that the script felt a bit lazy. Still, there’s a good amount of laughs in The Interview, including in the opening bit with Eminem and in the finger-biting fight scene in the North Korean control room. But in the end, The Interview just isn’t as funny as the filmmakers’ This Is The End and didn’t deserve all the attention it received leading up to the film’s on-again/off-again/on-again release.

GRADE: B-

The Interview is rated R for pervasive language, crude and sexual humor, nudity, some drug use and bloody violence.

Running Time: 112 minutes

‘The Royals’ Series Details – Plot, Cast, and Trailer

The Royals Cast

Elizabeth Hurley leads the cast as Queen Helena in E!’s one-hour drama The Royals. The series follows the exploits of a dysfunctional royal family who spend their days plotting, backstabbing, and generally behaving very badly.

The series also stars Vincent Regan as King Simon, William Moseley as Prince Liam, Alexandra Park as Princess Eleanor, Merritt Patterson as Ophelia, Jake Maskall as Cyrus, and Ukweli Roach as Marcus. Tom Austen is Jasper, Sophie Colquhoun is Gemma, Oliver Milburn plays Ted, Joan Collins is Grand Duchess of Oxford, Manpreet Bachu is Ashok, Lydia Rose Bewley is Penelope, and Hatty Preston plays Maribel.

The Synopsis: Behind the luxurious gates of the Royal family lies more scandal than one can imagine. Helena, the polished, poised, and fierce Queen, poses to the public that her family is one of class and grace. Her sole daughter, Eleanor, however, tries her best to keep the Queen on her toes as her rebellious nature puts the family’s reputation on the brink of crumbling as the tabloids document her un princess-like behavior which includes sex, drugs, and hung-over helicopter rides.

While secretly longing for a more meaningful existence in her limitless world, the heiress still parties like only a princess can. King Simon, at the helm of the monarchy, works to keep his family afloat, but when tainted politics and dangerous relationships are involved, chaos and turmoil threaten to uproot the family tree. Meanwhile, Eleanor’s twin brother, Prince Liam, is a playboy prince with the keys to the kingdom. Literally. He takes full advantage of being one of the most sought-after bachelors on the planet without the scrutiny his older brother Robert, the beloved heir to the throne, endures.

All of that changes, however when Robert tragically passes away and Liam, the spare, becomes heir. As a member of the Royal family, destiny chooses you. You do not choose your destiny.

Keeping the family out of the limelight is in the hands of the Royals’ entrusted security team. Liam’s hunger for a different life keeps his bodyguard and confidant Marcus hard at work especially when he runs off with his best mate Ashok. Jasper is Princess Eleanor’s new bodyguard who is delegated to protect her not only from harm outside the castle walls but also from the unruly Princess herself.

Jasper’s charming and demure nature juxtaposed against his brooding good looks hint that there is something far more calculating going on behind his baby blue eyes. As head of the security for the Royals, Ted is committed to keeping his own personal life discrete, but when Prince Liam falls for his daughter Ophelia his private and professional life starts to merge.

To make matters more complicated, Liam’s socialite ex-girlfriend Gemma returns upon news of Prince Robert’s untimely death and is relentless in her attempt to win Liam back from Ophelia. As the heiress of a diamond cartel, Gemma is refined, manipulative, and very clear about her desire to be on Liam’s arm when he is crowned King. Elsewhere in the palace, Cyrus, brother of King Simon, is lurking for a chance to steal the throne by doing anything in his limited power to take down the heirs one by one.

While his power is restricted, his lack of a moral compass is not, even when it comes to his sexuality, jealousy, and enlisting his dimwitted daughters Maribel and Penelope to do his bidding. Although born into fame, money, and power, only one can be King.

All is fair in love and royalty.

David Schwimmer, best known for playing Ross on Friends, has been cast to play Robert Kardashian on the new FX anthology series American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson. Schwimmer joins previously announced miniseries stars Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson and American Horror Story‘s Sarah Paulson as Prosecutor Marcia Clark.

The FX miniseries is based on the Jeffrey Toobin book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson. Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski, Brad Falchuk, and Dante Di Loreto are executive producing. Alexander and Karaszewski adapted the book for the miniseries and Murphy’s set to direct the first episode.

Filming will take place in LA in early 2015.

The Plot:

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.
