Seth Rogen is officially set to play iconic CBS newsman Walter Cronkite in an upcoming JFK assassination drama called Newsflash. The film is being directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) and this might be Rogen's most dramatic movie role to date. I guess it was bound to happen! Most comedians end up trying their hand at a heavy drama.
According to Deadline, "the film takes place on November 22, 1963, the day President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Texas. It was that day that television network news came of age, and Cronkite became the most trusted TV newsman voice of America, even if he wasn’t first to announce the president had died (NBC did that)."
The film was written by Ben Jacoby and the story is said to revolve around Cronkite, "his producer Don Hewitt, their boss Jim Aubrey, and Dan Rather, a young news man who happened to...

Stars: James Aubrey, Tom Chapin, Hugh Edwards, Tom Gaman | Written and Directed by Peter Brook
Peter Brook is best known for his work in theatre, but his 1963 screen adaptation of William Golding’s English Lit classic is no quaint repertory effort. Made relatively cheaply (the opening plane crash is literally a photograph of a plane spinning around) with non-professionals in the roles of the children, it’s a remarkably raw and brutal telling of a fable which may be as relevant now as ever before.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, this wartime story concerns a group of evacuating public schoolboys who are stranded on a remote island after their plane crashes. At first it’s all fun and frolics as the kids look forward to their freedom. They nominate a leader, Ralph (James Aubrey). Alpha male Jack (Tom Chapin) isn’t happy about this, and he...

When Bones signs off on Tuesday night, after 12 seasons on Fox, it will do so as the network’s longest-running scripted drama, having solved -- according to finale promos -- 275 cases in 246 episodes. And that prolific conviction rate may not even be the most impressive thing that the series accomplished.
Because Bones -- which was based on the life and works of real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs -- did more than just stay on the air, leapfrogging more than 20 different time slots in its 12-year run. In a television landscape populated with morose antiheroes and sarcastic protagonists that often poke fun at the earnestness of cops-and-science procedurals like Bones, sometimes directly by name (see: American Dad, Bojack Horseman, Bob’s Burgers and more), the show was a champion of justice and evidence, science and guts, “brains and heart.” It told new stories every week, while at the same time unfolding its central characters little by little, making...

Although an excellent and well-crafted hour, I had mixed feelings concerning Bones Season 12 Episode 11.
Obviously, they wanted the penultimate installment of the series to be intense, emotionally fraught, and drama filled, and with that in mind, the episode should be considered a success.
But there’s a large part of me that wished that Cam and Arastoo’s wedding could have simply been a happy affair, where we got to see all of the characters we love coming together and enjoying one another one last time.
Instead, I spent the entire wedding reception with this horrible sense of dread because it was so obvious that something horrible was about to happen.
And even though I was delighted to see Avalon back one last time, I was a bit disappointed that her visit was shrouded in such doom and gloom.

John Flynn's The Outfit (1974), a brutally efficient bit of business based glancingly on Richard Stark’s procedurally inquisitive and poetic crime novel of the same name, is a movie that feels like it’s never heard of a rounded corner; it’s blunt like a 1970 Dodge Monaco pinning a couple of killers against a Dumpster and a brick wall. I say “glancingly” because the movie, as Glenn Kenny observed upon The Outfit’s DVD release from the Warner Archives, is based less on the chronologically unconcerned novel than an idea taken from it. On the page Stark's protagonist, the unflappable Parker, his face altered by plastic surgery to the degree that past associates often take a fatal beat too long to realize to whom it is they are speaking, assumes the detached perspective of a bruised deity, undertaking the orchestration of a series of robberies administered to Mob-run businesses...

Bones fans have been waiting for this double feature for what feels like an eternity. The promised undercover episode, "The Cowboy in the Competition," is an enjoyable ride, as I mentioned in my teaser earlier. Picturesque, humorous, and beautiful; this farce has the added bonus of the brief inclusion of fan darling Agent James Aubrey.
Then comes "The Doom in the Boom," which has frozen the blood running through my weary veins. Aubrey getting turned into Swiss cheese was enough to make me stop breathing throughout the first half of the episode, but the penultimate scene with Hodgins lying on the floor, eyes dead and body motionless, was a draft horse kick to the gut. Mama mia, what the ...? How the ...? I mean ... gasp. ...

Gary Cooper movies on TCM: Cooper at his best and at his weakest Gary Cooper is Turner Classic Movies' “Summer Under the Stars” star today, Aug. 30, '15. Unfortunately, TCM isn't showing any Cooper movie premiere – despite the fact that most of his Paramount movies of the '20s and '30s remain unavailable. This evening's features are Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Sergeant York (1941), and Love in the Afternoon (1957). Mr. Deeds Goes to Town solidified Gary Cooper's stardom and helped to make Jean Arthur Columbia's top female star. The film is a tad overlong and, like every Frank Capra movie, it's also highly sentimental. What saves it from the Hell of Good Intentions is the acting of the two leads – Cooper and Arthur are both excellent – and of several supporting players. Directed by Howard Hawks, the jingoistic, pro-war Sergeant York was a huge box office hit, eventually earning Academy Award nominations in several categories,...

I interviewed James Coburn in late 1998 for the cover story of the February 1999 issue of Venice Magazine. I had grown up watching Coburn on the late show, but also seeing him on the big screen, first-run. Meeting him was a thrill as he entered the living room of his manager, the late Hilly Elkins', home in Beverly Hills. Coburn was elegant, charming and had the grace of a cat. The only thing that revealed the health problems that had nearly done him in were his gnarled hands, the result of severe arthritis. We spoke about his role in Paul Schrader's newest film, "Affliction," which would earn him a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. Later, as I walked Coburn to his Acura Nsx sport coupe, he bid me a warm farewell.
Several months later, I encountered him again at The Independent Spirit Awards, in Santa Monica. I went up...

Kirk Kerkorian, the Tracinda Corp. owner and aircraft and real estate mogul who founded Las Vegas' first mega-resort, the MGM Grand Hotel, died at age 98 at his Beverly Hills home on Monday June 15. He used his Hollywood contacts, from Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley to Barbra Streisand, to bring stars to the Las Vegas Strip. And over the decades he acquired and divested himself of various versions of MGM and United Artists, stripping them of their potency until they were slivers of their former selves. Kerkorian's Hollywood timeline: 1969: When the outsider first bought the fabled musical factory Metro Goldwyn Mayer in 1969, he was regarded as a true "barbarian at the gate" of the venerable Hollywood studio based in Culver City. He was one of the first investors who looked at the studios as an assemblage of assets to be exploited. He put James Aubrey in charge, who got rid...

So, what do we think about Bones' most recent FBI addition, Special Agent James Aubrey? Should we keep him around for a while? Well, according to the votes that really count, Booth's unflappable yet ballsy protege fits right in and actually kicks some fairly impressive -- albeit subdued -- ass. After reading our list of reasons we believe you'll agree Agent Aubrey, portrayed by John Boyd, earned the right to purchase his own little Mighty Hut at the corner of Adorably-Mentally-Dextrous Street and No-Bull-Shit Boulevard in the Bones Universe. Too much? No way. This Quantico grad is an exceptional 'Guy Friday' for Booth and a formidable addition to the discriminating brain trust of the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab.

The Jeffersonian team was dealt a major blow with the death of Dr. Lance Sweets on the season premiere — but there's a new agent joining Fox's “Bones” this week. FBI detective James Aubrey's sarcasm and squeamishness around a dead body will almost surely get on Booth's nerves. In real life, actor John Boyd (“The Carrie Diaries”) is ecstatic to be teaming up with David Boreanaz. “It's really fun to get to come onto a show and get to discover all of the stuff that everyone sort of takes for granted,” Boyd said in the above behind-the-scenes video.

I have always been a great admirer of Paul Henning, the crooner-turned-tv producer/writer of some of the best-loved shows of the 1960s. It was Henning who gave a voice to rural audiences by creating such classic TV series as The Beverly Hillbilllies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. If you revisit any of them today, they remain far superior to most contemporary sitcoms. Henning not only created shows that have timeless appeal, but he also brainstormed the concept of interweaving characters and plot devices between the series- a stroke of genius that brought cross-promotion marketing to new levels. Henning also prided himself on making his country characters eccentric, but never idiotic. They were simple people living simple lives and if they seemed to exist in a time warp, they were all honest, admirable folks.

Hollywood actor known for playing wholesome wives and Ma Kent in Superman
Although Phyllis Thaxter, who has died aged 92, had a successful career in films throughout the 1940s and 50s, many will remember her for her last movie role, in Superman (1978). It was the small but key part of Ma Kent, the childless farmer's wife who adopts a foundling baby and names him Clark. Together with her husband (Glenn Ford) – both made intentionally to resemble the couple in Grant Wood's American Gothic painting – they bring up the abnormally physically gifted boy until he's ready to fly off "to fight for truth, justice and the American way".
At one stage, she tells him: "We Kents don't like show-offs, ain't that so? A body's got to be humble even if he knows that he's better'n his neighbours." A fragile beauty, Thaxter was never a show-off, but made an impact in a gentle way,...

"Don't Knock the Music!" week continues at Trailers from Hell, today with director-producer Dan Ireland introducing Ken Russell's fantastic Twiggy-starrer "The Boyfriend." Set on the French Riviera during the roaring 20's, Sandy Wilson's smash 1954 London musical production ran for 2,078 performances to great acclaim. Julie Andrews made her Broadway debut in the starring role the same year, but when Ken Russell mounted his 1971 film version he chose current pop culture icon Twiggy for the lead, and she gave an unexpectedly charming and delightful performance. However, notorious MGM honcho James Aubrey reduced the Us running time from 136 to 109 minutes. In 1987 MGM/UA's Mike Schlesinger engineered a reissue of the uncut version, which is now available on DVD from Warner Archive.

Was President Richard Nixon engaged in a decades-long gay affair with a man the feds believed had mob ties? According to a new biography of the 37th President, this could be the case.
In the new book "Nixon's Darkest Secrets: The Inside Story of America's Most Troubled President," Don Fulsom, a former Upi Washington bureau chief, writes that Nixon and Charles (Bebe) Rebozo had a relationship that may have extended beyond their well-known friendship.
Fulsom writes that Nixon and Rebozo, whom the FBI believed was laundering money for the mafia, were once spotted holding each other "the way you'd cuddle your senior prom date." Fulsom also says the two were once seen holding hands during a dinner, the New York Daily News reports.
In addition to this shocking report, the book also states that Nixon used to beat his wife, First Lady Pat Nixon. It adds the late President Nixon...

From his unromantic wedding proposal to his assessment of the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina, the defense secretary's new memoir isn't just about foreign affairs. Read anecdotes.
While the bulk of Donald Rumsfeld's memoir deals with weighty matters of war and peace, there are offbeat moments in Known and Unknown that provide glimpses of the Chicago native who twice ran the Pentagon. Here are a few:
Related story on The Daily Beast: Biden: The New Rumsfeld
· The day after graduating from college in 1954, Rumsfeld was back home in Illinois and told his parents he was going out. "I went to find Joyce and asked her to marry me," he says of Joyce Pierson, whom he had stayed in touch with since high school. "There was little buildup, little suspense, and at ten o'clock in the morning, it wasn't very romantic." That's an understatement.

With Julian Assange in jail, the State Department steps up its WikiLeaks counteroffensive. Howard Kurtz talks to State brass about his motive and why he should be considered dangerous.
As Julian Assange steps up his rhetoric and his releases of sensitive material, the State Department is becoming increasingly undiplomatic.
"Mr. Assange is not seemingly worried about real lives and real careers which can be put at risk of being intimidated, jailed or killed," Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley told The Daily Beast. His most recent statements "really unmasked him."
Hours after WikiLeaks published a secret memo listing more than 100 factories, labs, and underseas cables that the United States considers critical for world security, Crowley said: "In releasing that kind of information, Mr. Assange is giving a group like al Qaeda a potential targeting list."
It's no surprise that the department is hostile to Assange, who has greatly complicated Hillary Clinton...

We're now fully in the carol-filled holiday season. There are Christmas trees everywhere, kids getting their tongues stuck on poles, and mass rushes of hectic gift shopping at all the major stores. To get away from it all while keeping in the holiday spirit -- there's not much that can rival watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.
At first, the film was vetoed by CBS head James Aubrey. It seems poor Charlie Brown was too much of a "loser," who wouldn't attract the audience love networks are always looking for. But oh, how wrong he was. The short film hit the airwaves and became an instant classic. As the story goes, ol' Charlie gets depressed as the holiday season descends. He heads over to Lucy's psychiatric booth for a chat, and she suggests that he direct the upcoming Christmas play. All around him, the Peanuts gang is mesmerized by all things commercial,...
