Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes in 2014 AND 2015

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have set a two-year pact with NBC and Dick Clark Prods. to host the Golden Globe ceremonies in 2014 and 2015.

The pair’s return to the Globes stage had been expected after their well-received turn at this year’s ceremony, which saw the telecast’s ratings spike 28% in the key 18-49 demo.

“Tina and Amy are two of the most talented comedic writer/performers in our business and they were a major reason the Golden Globes was the most entertaining awards show of last season,” said Paul Telegdy, NBC’s prexy of alternative and latenight programming. “We’re elated they wanted to host together again and that they committed for the next two years.”

The 71st annual Golden Globes fete will air live from the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 12.

I saw MACHETE KILLS this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Inside Movies Box Office report: ‘Gravity’ brings in astronomical $44.2 million; ‘Captain Phillips’ a strong No. 2

Alfonso Cuarón’s heady outer-space thriller is proving a phenomenon in its second week, dropping just 21 percent from its opening weekend and rocketing past the $100 million mark on Saturday to a stellar $123.4 cume in just 10 days. It’s the smallest second-week decline for a film that debuted to more than $55 million. Gravity is already the fourth and third highest-grossing film for stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, respectively. A whopping 84 percent of the yield comes from 3-D showings and 20 percent from I-MAX, proving moviegoers are still willing to pay the surcharges, at least when promised panoramic zero-gravity shots and inner-helmet closeups of Bullock’s face. Expect small drop-offs in the future as word of mouth continues to spread and awards season draws nearer.

Captain Phillips, another awards hopeful, earned a strong $26 million opening weekend and scored the No. 2 spot. The biggest hit for Tom Hanks since 2009′s Angels & Demons, the PG-13 true story of a U.S. cargo ship captain who protected his crew from Somali pirates in 2009 will play well to families and older audiences through the holidays.

With little family-movie competition, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 has matched its budget of $78 million after its 17th day. Lagging far behind is Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, which earned a brutal $3.79 million. The sequel to 2010′s Machete is the director’s lowest-grossing wide opening. Runner Runner, the online poker drama starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck, seems to be folding early — after a $7.7 million opening weekend, Fox’s $30 million bad bet dropped to $3.73 million.

1. Gravity – $44.2 million
2. Captain Phillips – $26 million
3. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 – $14.2 million
4. Machete Kills – $3.79 million
5. Runner Runner – $3.73 million

Me too!!

Duchovny and Anderson say they want more ‘X-Files’

NEW YORK (AP) — After 20 years, it’s possible for the details of a relationship to get fuzzy.

Just ask David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who first premiered their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully on “The X-Files” two decades ago. The series aired nine seasons and resulted in two feature films.

While the two were unsure where they left their relationship in the show and films, the 53-year-old Duchovny and 45-year-old Anderson both said they’re open to making a third “X-Files” movie.

The actors got together Saturday to mark the 20th Anniversary of the series’ premiere. They participated in a panel discussion for fans at The Paley Center for Media in New York.

When asked where their characters left off, the two weren’t completely clear on the specifics.

“Well they (Mulder and Scully) were married the last movie,” Duchovny said, referring to 2008’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.”

“Were we actually married?” Anderson asked.

“I believe so. That was my impression,” he responded.

Their characters did become romantically involved in the TV series and were a couple during the 2008 movie. However, it was not clear whether they were married.

The both are clear, however, about their interest in another “X-Files” film.

“All the principals are on board,” including “X-Files” creator Chris Carter, Duchovny said. “Gillian and I want to do it, so it’s really up to Twentieth Century Fox at this point.”

Anderson said if fans want another film they should let their voices be heard.

“If it takes fan encouragement to get Fox interested in that then I guess that’s what it would be.”

An email message sent to Twentieth Century Fox seeking comment on Saturday was not immediately returned.

For an indefinite future, Duchovny and Anderson spent a lot of time over the weekend promoting the franchise. They appeared at Comic-Con in New York and also took part in a “ask me anything” session on the website Reddit.

The Couch Potato Report

Happy Thanksgiving Long Weekend Movie Fans!!

The Couch Potato Report – October 12th, 2013

The new release that I’ll recommend the strongest this week is actually the last title I’ll talk about, but trust me it’s worth the wait…and it is whaffer thin.

First up is a made-in-Winnipeg reboot of a twenty-five year old horror series. Chucky is a notorious serial killer whose spirit was first transferred into a toy, the Good Guy doll, in the 1988 film CHILD’S PLAY.

Since then we’ve been given five other films, of varying quality, and the latest is CURSE OF CHUCKY.

The primary thing this latest Chucky flick does is return the horror of the earlier films. The last two have been more funny that horrific.

This one begins with a Chucky doll being delivered to a woman who lives in the middle of nowhere in a big old creepy house with her parapalegic mid-twenties daughter Nica. It seems the woman knew the serial killer many years ago.

Soon after the mother’s mysterious death, the house begins to fill with grieving family, including a little girl, who is given the doll as a gift.

Eventually – as in all the Chucky films – bloodshed and chaos ensues, and fans of the series will not be disappointed.

CURSE OF CHUCKY is not a great horror film by any stretch of the imagination, and the back story doesn’t totally work, but fans of the series will really enjoy it!

And when you guys watch it, make sure you watch all the way until after the end credits!!

Fans of THE HANGOVER series will probably enjoy this next release too, and I say probably because the first HANGOVER movie was so awesome and the second was so awful, that many fans may have already abandoned the series.

I invite you to come back though, as THE HANGOVER – PART III does offer some laughs…even some HUGE ones, and most of them come from the great Zach Galifianakis.

THE HANGOVER – PART III brings the series to an end as the Wolf Pack have to go back to Vegas to rescue Doug, again.

Bottom line here, will THE HANGOVER – PART III make you laugh? The answer is yes, so if you’ve enjoyed Phil, Stu and Alan’s mis-adventures in the past, don’t miss it.

Now, on the other hand, even if you’ve loved Will Smith’s mis-adventures and adventures in the past – in films like INDEPENDENCE DAY and MEN IN BLACK – even if you are his biggest fan, you still need to skip his 2013 misfire AFTER EARTH.

AFTER EARTH features Will and his son Jaden Smith playing a father and son who crash land on earth, after humankind have been forced off of it. It is now inhabited by all types of creatures who feed on humans.

With Will laid up after breaking both his legs the son has to travel across the planet to find a beacon to save them both and you…won’t care.

AFTER EARTH is slow, and boring, and uninteresting on just about every level. It isn’t the worst film of the year, but it will definitely be in my Bottom Five.

Skip it!!

I was so bored by this next release that I’m not even sure what to say about it other than skip it.

The animated film THE CROODS was colourful and fast, so little kids may enjoy it, but it wasn’t any fun at all, and I like my animated films to be at least some fun.

The Croods are a family in prehistoric times, a caveman family, who are convinced to go on a trek by a caveboy they meet. He has a theory that the world is coming to an end, and since he’s shown them fire, they follow him and are intrigued by his “inventions”.

THE CROODS has a great voice cast, that includes Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Canadian Ryan Reynolds and the great Cloris Leachman, and at times it is inventive and the animation is great, but most of the time I was just bored.

So you should skip it…I would maybe mildly recommend it to kids, but only very mildly.

And I will also only mildly recommend director Joss Whedon’s version of Shakespeare’s MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING as well, specifically to fans of the cast and the Whedonverse they’ve all created.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING features actors who have previously appeared in television shows and movies created by or directed by Joss Whedon, including THE AVENGERS, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL, FIREFLY and DOLLHOUSE and I found the story behind its creation much more interesting that the film itself.

Whedon and his friends get together – at his house – for Shakespeare readings, and they enjoyed doing MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING so much, they filmed it…at his house.

That story I liked. I never really got into the movie, but I liked hearingthe story behind it on the director’s commentary.

I didn’t dislike this modern retelling of Shakespeare’s comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words, I just didn’t care for it. I know others will love it…especially fans of Joss Whedon and the people he’s worked with in the past.

You will likely love it, so it is to you I recommend MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING…but even to you only mildly as it really isn’t anything special.

The television show set I have for you this week on The Report is the very inventive and engaging PERSON OF INTEREST.

Created by some of the people who have made LOST and the DARK KNIGHT films this show is about an ex-CIA hitman and an eccentric tech genius who team up to prevent crimes in New York City, before they happen.

THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON of PERSON OF INTEREST is set in the present day, but uses future technology and smarts to allow it to stand above most of the action and procedural shows on TV these days.

And as the season goes on, in addition to smart individual episodes, it builds a very interesting overall plot as well as we get to know the people behind this amazing technology.

PERSON OF INTEREST is just a good show and I really enjoyed watch it. I highly recommend THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON, and the first one too for that matter.

Finally this week is the 1983 comedy THE MEANING OF LIFE, the release of the week, the most entertaining thing out there to watch right now, which I have dubbed so because of the film itself, AND because the surviving members of Monty Python get together in a bonus feature to discuss it.

It is so much fun to watch Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese and Michael Palin talking, just talking about the film and working together again. Too bad the late, great Python Graham Chapman couldn’t have been there as well!!

THE MEANING OF LIFE itself, a series of sketches and skits that allow the comedy team to give us their take on life, in all its stages, looks great on blu-ray, and is still as funny as ever.

The reunion, the film, the release of the week!! And now for something completely hilarious, it’s MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE!!

The still great MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE; the inventive and engaging SECOND SEASON of the TV show PERSON OF INTEREST; director Joss Whedon’s okay but not great version of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING; the not interesting and not fun animated film THE CROODS; the boring Summer flop AFTER EARTH; the not great but occasionally funny sequel THE HANGOVER – PART III; and the made-in-Winnipeg horror film CURSE OF CHUCKY, for fans of the series only, are all available now, either on disc or on demand.

Coming up next week, the made-in-Toronto Summer action flick PACIFIC RIM.

For now, that’s this week’s COUCH POTATO REPORT.

Enjoy the movies and I’ll see you back here again next time on The Couch!

Yet another reason to love the World Series!!!

Pearl Jam to Soundtrack the World Series

Pearl Jam’s epic, rain-delayed set at Chicago’s Wrigley Field in July won’t be the only time the band connects with baseball in 2013. A partnership with Fox Sports will include extensive use of 48 Pearl Jam songs across the promotional and music beds for this month’s World Series coverage, set to air Oct. 23-31 on Fox, and feature the group’s music throughout November as Artist of the Month across all Fox Sports properties.

The deal includes all 12 tracks from Lightning Bolt, plus 36 songs from the Pearl Jam catalog, spanning all the band’s albums (with the exception of 2002’s politically charged Riot Act). Catalog highlights include “Animal,” “Better Man,” “Black,” “Blood,” “Corduroy,” “Daughter,” “Even Flow” and “even goes as far as ‘State of Love and Trust,'” says Christian Fresco, product manager for Pearl Jam’s Monkeywrench label. Fox Sports Music VP Janine Kerr, an avid PJ fan, adds: “They said, ‘What songs would you want?’ I said, ‘How many can I have?’ So we gave them a wish list and they said ‘yes’ to all.”

“There was a period of time when we didn’t license much music,” Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis says. “But for the past many years, we consider licensing requests using the same criteria we do for everything else: Do we like it? Would the fans like it? Does it provide a different forum for fans to hear the music? Is it something we can get behind? The band loves baseball, so this one was a no-brainer.”

Fox Sports and MLB have done wide-ranging deals with major rock artists during the past few years, including Jack White during the National League Championship coverage and 30 songs from the Who as the World Series soundtrack, both in 2012. But the Pearl Jam partnership is the largest in terms of number of songs, and perhaps the most personal to boot-not only is frontman Eddie Vedder a lifelong Cubs fan (he brought out legendary Cub Ernie Banks during the Wrigley gig), he’s become close friends with Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck as well. The band played St. Louis during the 2010 leg of its Backspacer tour, where Vedder gave Buck an onstage shout-out and hung out with him for a couple of hours after the show.

“We literally just talked about baseball,” Buck says. “It was the greatest thrill of my life. You’ll hear certain guys say they’re a Yankee fan or an NFL fan, and maybe they know some stuff but they’re not die-hards. This guy’s just a legit, die-hard baseball fan, and I’ve never had a more relaxed, normal conversation in that kind of atmosphere.”

Pearl Jam’s songs will be featured in all types of music beds during the World Series, from opening teases and commercial bumpers to montages, as well as additional promotional inventory across Fox prime-time and cable networks in November.

“Any time you get a chance to set the visuals to this kind of music, you want to jump on the opportunity,” Fox Sports executive producer John Entz says. “We’ll have Joe do the intros, too, so it won’t feel like he’s saying words someone wrote about Pearl Jam. He’ll really mean them.”

Ummm…YES!!

Scarlett Johansson Named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive for the Second Time in Seven Years

Scarlett Johansson is bringing sexy back to the pages of Esquire. The magazine has named the Don Jon star the Sexiest Woman Alive for the second time in seven years, making her the first woman to ever win the title twice. Johansson looks sultry as ever on the November cover, posing in a sheer tank top, a gray bra, silk shorts and high heels.

The 28-year-old beauty first earned the title in 2006, and since then, a lot has changed. Johansson married and divorced Ryan Reynolds; won a Tony Award for her performance in A View from the Bridge; costarred in the third highest-grossing movie of all-time, The Avengers; and got engaged to ad exec Romain Dauriac.

Johansson maintains a sense of humor about her Esquire honor, telling the mag, “I’m the only woman to win twice right? You know, I gotta hustle. I’m a 28-year-old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you’re offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work-theater, producing; this thing with Esquire.”

In the same interview, the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star also compares her relationship with Reynolds to her romance with Dauriac. “I didn’t think I was a jealous person until I started dating my current, my one-and-only,” Johansson reveals. “I think maybe in the past I didn’t have the same kind of investment. Not that I liked my partner less, I just wasn’t capable of it or caring that much.”

The November issue of Esquire hits newsstands Oct. 15. Previous Sexiest Women Alive include Mila Kunis (2012), Rihanna (2011), Minka Kelly (2010), Kate Bekinsale (2009), Halle Berry (2008), Charlize Theron (2007) and Jessica Biel (2005).

I saw ENOUGH SAID and RUSH this weekend. I really enjoyed the first one and thought the latter film was only okay.

Inside Movies Box office report: ‘Gravity’ pulls in record-breaking $55.6 million

Warner Bros.’ $100 million Alfonso Cuarón-directed thriller Gravity blasted off on its opening weekend at the box office, scoring a stunning $55.6 million from 3,575 theaters. The sci-fi title, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, set a new October opening weekend record, surpassing Paranormal Activity 3‘s $52.6 million debut in 2011.

Gravity also marks the best-ever debut for both of its stars, beating Bullock’s $39.1 million start for this summer’s The Heat (talk about having a great year at the box office!) and Clooney’s $42.9 million debut for Batman & Robin in 1997. And to put a cherry on top of Warner Bros.’ incredible weekend, audiences issued Gravity an excellent “A-” CinemaScore grade, which will yield great word-of-mouth for weeks to come.

The film played to a much broader audience than most young-male-dominated sci-fi films. Crowds were 54 percent male and 56 percent female, and 59 percent were above the age of 35. 3-D showings accounted for a whopping 80 percent of the film’s weekend gross (bucking the downward trend 3-D has faced this year and proving that audiences will pay for the format if they feel it’s worth it). IMAX tickets made up 20 percent of revenue — because if there’s one thing that looks great on a big screen, it’s outer space.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 dropped 37 percent in its second weekend to $21.5 million, which gives the animated title a $60.6 million total after 10 days. Sony spent $78 million on the saucy sequel and wisely scheduled it away from other family competition, which should allow it to thrive throughout October. (By comparison, films like Turbo and The Smurfs 2 got choked out this summer while competing with each other and Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University.) The next animated film to arrive in theaters, Free Birds, won’t come out until Nov. 1.

Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake faltered in third place with their new crime drama Runner Runner, which earned a weak $7.6 million in its first three days. Both stars are hotter than ever: Affleck, after winning an Oscar for Argo and landing the Batman role in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Man of Steel sequel, and Timberlake, after hitting No. 1 with his comeback album The 20/20 Experience, the sequel to which is projected to be the No. 1 album this week. But nothing about Runner Runner inspired crowds to check it out in theaters. Audiences issued the poorly reviewed film, which cost Fox about $30 million, a weak “C” CinemaScore grade.

Prisoners and Rush made up the rest of the Top 5. Prisoners fell 48 percent to $5.7 million, giving the Hugh Jackman vehicle a $47.9 million total against a $46 million budget. The film earned excellent reviews, but has had trouble holding on to audiences due to the arrival of Rush, Don Jon, and Gravity — three well-reviewed dramas attracting attention. Fortunately, Prisoners is holding on better than one of those films, Rush, which fell 56 percent this weekend to $4.4 million. The Formula One racing drama starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Ron Howard has now earned $18.1 million total and will fall short of its $38 million budget.

1. Gravity – $55.6 million
2. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 – $21.5 million
3. Runner Runner – $7.6 million
4. Prisoners – $5.7 million
5. Rush – $4.4 million

The Couch Potato Report

I could connect them…if I wanted to!! :D

The Couch Potato Report – October 5th, 2013

The films I have for you this week don’t have a connecting thread. I do like to connect things, but one of them came out this Summer, another in 1989, and the third in 1953. I could find a way to connect them, after all two of them did win Academy Awards, but instead I’ll just tell you about them individually and start with the end…of the world.

THIS IS THE END was co-written, co-directed and co-stars Vancouver’s Seth Rogen from PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and KNOCKED UP. He plays himself in this film, well…he plays an exaggeration of himself, or at least who we perceive him to be.

In fact, the whole film is full of famous people playing exaggerated versions of themselves as they get together for a party at James Franco’s house just as the end of the world begins.

In addition to James Franco and Seth Rogen, some of the other people who play a variation of themselves in THIS IS THE END are Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Michael Cera, Mindy Kaling and Emma Watson…from the Harry Potter films.

It’s the end of the world in this film, and some friends are locked in a house together, and making the best of it while they are trying to survive the worst. The difference in THIS IS THE END is that we know all of these friends because they are movie stars.

That is what also what makes it one of the funniest films of the year. When these guys make fun of each other, they rip apart each other’s filmography and public personas and it is hilarious.

Due to the amount of profanity in the film and the fact that a good portion of the humour is exceptionally sophomoric and childish, THIS IS THE END isn’t for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. I can easily recommend it to anyone who likes their humour profane and their mocking merciless.

This is a flick I’ll watch again. Even the bonus materials are entertaining and insightful!!

The 1989 Walt Disney animated film THE LITTLE MERMAID is a film I’ve watched again, many times. I enjoyed it when it was originally released, and I enjoyed it again this week when it was released on blu-ray for the first time!

This still beautiful film is about a teenage mermaid princess named Ariel who makes a deal with a sea-witch to enable her to spend time with a human prince…on land.

But as Ariel gets close to making her dreams come true, the sea-witch changes the rules, and THE LITTLE MERMAID could lose everything.

The new DIAMOND EDITION of THE LITTLE MERMAID features the film looking and sounding better than ever, and it also comes with a wealth of old and Brand New Special Features.

But mostly it features the film, the very beautiful and entertaining film, and its Academy Award winning music.

I love THE LITTLE MERMAID, and I highly recommend it, to boys and girls of all ages.

Here’s a trio of new releases now about families.

Starting with a MODERN FAMILY.

MODERN FAMILY is a show about Jay Pritchett, his second wife, their infant son and his stepson, and Jay’s two grown up children and their families.

The show is told mockumentary style with the camera sometimes acting as a confessional, but mostly it is an observer.

THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON of MODERN FAMILY was the fourth – of four – to win the Emmy Award for Best Comedy. Yes it has won every year it’s been eligible, and it will probably keep winning for years.

It is just heads above any other comedy on television right now, and if you have yet to see an episode…see an episode. See them all!!

It is fun and funny and even very beautiful at times. Watching THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON of MODERN FAMILY could be some of the most fun you have this year.

Some folks will also have a lot of fun watching VOLUME 11 of the series FAMILY GUY, but not as many folks because there aren’t as many laughs.

There are some laughs, okay a lot of them, and many of them are laugh out loud, but FAMILY GUY continues to be lazy, going for an easy laugh when a well-crafted one could have worked better, and continuing to be borderline racist at times…another sign of lazy humour.

That said, the show does still provide some huge laughs!!

There are twenty-three uncensored FAMILY GUY episodes in VOLUME 11. Peter has another painful encounter with the angry Giant Chicken, Quagmire tries to get giggity with Meg, and Brian and Stewie are beside themselves when they travel back in time to the show’s pilot episode.

Admittedly, that trip back to the Pilot is one of the series’ best!

FAMILY GUY is still on the air because people watch it and love it and it is to those people – and the show’s casual fans – that I recommend this release. Highly.

Everyone else should just skip it.

This final family oriented release is an Israeli film that won seven statues at that country’s Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture, and it is easy to see why as FILL THE VOID is a deeply moving and beautiful film that asks the question: “Why do you love me?”

This is a movie about a devout 18-year-old Israeli woman is being pressured to marry the husband of her late sister.

She can’t understand why he wants to marry her and feels that the marriage is not right. But declaring her independence is not an option in Tel Aviv’s ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community, where religious law, tradition and the rabbi’s word are absolute.

FILL THE VOID is an interesting film that takes place in a world that many of us will never see. That, and some great questions and performances, add up to a movie that I can easily recommend.

Finally this week, let’s head back to 1953 to a film that won eight Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture: FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

Set in 1941 Hawaii Montgomery Clift is a young soldier who refuses to box for his squadron, no matter how much punishment his Captain threatens him with.

That same Captain is unfaithful to his wife, and she to him as she falls for a Sergeant played by Burt Lancaster.

Frank Sinatra is another member of the company and Ol Blue Eyes was awarded a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance.

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY features all of those characters and stories – and several others – all heading toward the date December 7th, 1941.

They may all survive each other, but will they survive Pearl Harbour?

The new blu-ray for FROM HERE TO ETERNITY allows the film to look better than it ever has, and it comes with some great Special Features, old and new.

This movie is a true classic, and I easily recommend it.

The eight time Academy Award winning classic FROM HERE TO ETERNITY; the very good seven time Israeli Film Academy Award winning drama FILL THE VOID; VOLUME 11 of the still occasionally laugh out loud funny series FAMILY GUY; THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON of the still funny and touching show MODERN FAMILY; the still amazing Disney animated classic THE LITTLE MERMAID; and the incredibly stupid, but also incredibly funny THIS IS THE END, co-written, co-directed and co-starring Vancouver’s Seth Rogen are all available now, either on disc or on demand.

Hey, coming up next week in The Couch Potato Report a onetime great comedy trilogy comes to a close in THE HANGOVER – PART III

For now, that’s this week’s COUCH POTATO REPORT.

Enjoy the movies and I’ll see you back here again next time on The Couch!
