Note: This is a reprint of my review of The Sessions, formerly The Surrogate, upon its premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. I've changed the name of the film below, but left everything else remains intact. It opens on a limited basis today and is truly one of the year's most special films. With…

The story of a guy trying hard to get laid for the first time has been told and told again in many an R-rated comedy, but Ben Lewin's The Sessions isn't American Pie or even The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Instead, it's a truth-based drama that's garnering serious Oscar buzz for its star, John Hawkes. The Martha Marcy May…

There's some bad and some good in today's TV Bits, but I'd say there's more of the latter -- more Shameless, more Homeland, more Jennifer Coolidge, and Olga Kurylenko in late '50s Miami all count as pluses, right? After the jump: Showtime's Shameless get a Season 2 trailer -- and invites fans to play Truth…

Two new TV trailers were released today, and coincidentally, both are for US adaptations of British TV series.

The books of Elmore Leonard have been source material for a wide variety of films good and bad, from Out of Sight, Rum Punch (aka Jackie Brown) and Get Shorty, to losers like Be Cool, Killshot and The Big Bounce. Now one more is being added to the pile, as Walter Matthau's son Charles Matthau…

I didn't have much doubt that a distributor would quickly move on Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist. (Refer back to our previous articles detailing the film, which has origins in an unproduced screenplay by the great Jacques Tati and features a character very much designed after Tati.) In fact, I didn't have much doubt that it…

I don't understand how so many people are duped into paying for a movie like Wild Hogs. Every month a new stinker hits theaters, and it makes tons of money. Wild Hogs made nearly $38 million in it's first weekend. How? Anyway, I just got word that director Walt Becker is considering a possible sequel.…
