We in the states have enjoyed biographies since the start of cinema, particularly those focusing in on popular stars. And of the show-biz bios, those of singers seem to attract film goers. In the late 1940’s Larry Parks was a sensation in The Jolson Story, so much so that he stepped in for Al in a sequel Jolson Sings Again. In more recent years Bobby Darrin’s life inspired Beyond The Sea and Jamie Foxx nabbed an Oscar as Mr. Charles in Ray. Surely this same genre has been done in other countries, say…France. Just 10 years ago Marion Cotillard snagged...

1 March 1925: This is a remarkable film, an historic film, a film to see and consider
Mr. Charles Spenser Chaplin has been enjoying a holiday from his boots and his hat. It has been a holiday in the true sense, which implies, not idleness, but the doing of a thing long desired in the desired way. His new film A Woman of Paris is the fruit of many years’ consideration, the logical development of that other holiday The Kid, and the fulfilment of his dream.
Like all good comedians, pushing aside a delirious desire to play Hamlet, Chaplin has sought a medium of tragic expression, cast here and everywhere, for an outlet for his serious emotions. His later comedies are shot with the Hamlet quality. But he is bounded by the little hat, and the boots and the cane, and a servant to the public in whose mind these things stand for laughter.

The sister of the autistic man whose unarmed caregiver was apparently accidentally shot by a police officer in North Miami, Florida, earlier this week is speaking out about the incident, saying her traumatized brother is asking for his caregiver, Charles Kinsey, and doesn't understand why the man was shot. "He keeps having frequent episodes of screaming, intense fear and flailing while still asleep," Miriam Janice Rivers posted on Facebook. "Asking for Charles, crying. He wasn't eating and he was anxious." Rivers says she also has problems with the police explanation that the officer was aiming for her brother because he thought her brother,...

Update, 9:23 Am: Millennium has officially confirmed the Madame Bovary acquisition that I scooped was happening over the weekend. The deal was finalized ahead of its Toronto screening set for tomorrow. The full release is below our original exclusive.
Previous Exclusive, Saturday Pm: Millennium Entertainment is getting close to a seven-figure deal to acquire U.S. rights to Madame Bovary, the Sophie Barthes-directed film that stars Mia Wasikowska, Paul Giamatti, and Ezra Miller.
The film is set in period France, and focuses on two years in the life of the beautiful wife of a small-town doctor. She engages in extra-marital affairs in an attempt to advance her social status. I’m hearing that companies like A24 and Sony Pictures Classics are still in the mix, but it looks like this one will close tonight.

Wonderfully weird madcap nonsense: imagine Monty Python staging a Victorian sitcom. I’m “biast” (pro): am enjoying the work director Mary Franklin is staging
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
I have not read the source material
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
My adventures exploring London’s creative fringe continued last weekend when I attended a performance of a new production from director Mary Franklin of theatre company Rough Haired Pointer. (I’ve previously reviewed her The Boy Who Cried and Cleopatra.) This time I discovered a new (to me) pub theatre, the The White Bear Theatre in Kennington, South London, a long-running and storied venue. It’s a fabulous little space at the back of a friendly, unpretentious neighborhood pub… and it’s precisely the sort of place that the comedic protagonist of The Diary of a Nobodywould be horrified to be seen in.

Also discussing the support he received, Josh stated, “I just want to say to all of the fans that I really appreciate your comments… It’s meant a lot. I get invested in characters in TV shows, too.”

Ah, Lgbt Pride – that sun-dappled, magical month when dance clubs grow wheels and rove about the city dropping go-go boys like dandruff, Lgbt-aligned politicians become local heroes, and rainbows make more touchdowns than Jerry Rice. (Yes, I had to look that up.)
As we take to the streets to celebrate the diversity, strength and impressive midriffs of our community, I wanted to take a moment to share some of the Lgbt entertainment that makes me proud to be gay. You know – the kind of show or artist or movie where, when it’s brought up in casual mixed conversation, you can’t Wait to tell everyone that there’s a gay person behind it.
It’s an odd list, and it’s probably one that no one other than me would come up with. But that’s what makes each of us a uniquely beautiful snowflake, right? I’d love to hear what talented artists,...

Gossip Girl's many storylines reached a confluence of sorts tonight at Dair's coming out party. Surprisingly for the controversial couple, their newly-public romance was probably the most uneventful thing at the big event.
"Salon of the Dead" featured several big bombshells, with the biggest being that our long-theorized belief in Diana's blood relation to Chuck was finally revealed. She is, in fact, the mother of Mr. Charles Bass.
It was surprising and yet not. Chuck had begun to piece it together over the course of the past few weeks, and her ties to Jack were revealed as far back as December. So it was really more about the details:
How would he find out, and what was the backstory?
The manner in which Chuck learned his mother's true identity dovetailed with Lola's quest to unmask Serena as the least subtle Gossip Girl fill-in of all time. The story of Bart,...

Well it seems that someone over at WaterTower Music has heard our collective cries and decided to release a Collector’s Edition of Hans Zimmer’s score to Inception. Hardcore fans of the film have noticed the more than fair amount of score in the movie that is missing from the original soundtrack release. Well guys, this new release contains over 40 minutes of unreleased music and 3 brand new remixes produced by world renowned remixers. The 8-1/8″ by 8-3/4″ package also comes with a 42-page booklet with photos and stories by Hans Zimmer, Johnny Marr and Christopher Nolan, as well as a DVD with 5.1 audio and video interviews. Check out the tracklisting below. Warning: For those who haven’t seen the film yet (seriously, do you people actually exist?) there are mild-spoilers (if you’re smart enough to piece it together) in some of the track titles.

I know, I know. The "male View" concept has never really worked. But as I watched Johnny Weir on The Tonight Show Monday, sitting beside Charles Barkley, I kept thinking, "I'd watch that show." It wouldn't even have to be daily. It could just be one hour a week. They could talk about sports and pop culture, tease each other like it's the fourth hour of Today and they're Hoda and Kathie Lee. What do you think? Before you answer, watch this clip from last night. I wish we'd gotten to see Barkley's reaction when Weir explained his sheltered upbringing in Amish Country,...

.I fail to see.because I do not happen to be a .Somebody. .why my diary should not be interesting. Meet Mr. Charles Pooter, a late Victorian city clerk who has determined that he is just as important as the .Somebodies. of the world, and to prove it has published his diary. Why shouldn.t the general public be fascinated by all aspects of his life, what he has for luncheon, the humiliation that he suffered falling over the boot scraper, or his clever and witty comments to friends and family? Although well before the Internet Age, Mr. Pooter may well be the Father of Blogging! Actor Hugh Bonneville must have had a wonderful time making this film. Adapted by...
