The movie is simultaneously a parody and an embodiment of the form. It’s filled with literary, cinematic and theatrical in-jokes, but it is also a respectable whodunit. The target audience for SEE HOW THEY RUN is most likely people […]Read On »

TRUE THINGS Movie Poster | ©2022 Samuel Goldwyn Films

No matter what she is doing, she is vital and committed, and we believe her. As she’s in almost every frame on TRUE THINGS, this means the movie always has life, even if Wilson pretty much carries it on her back. In TRUE THINGS, Wilson plays Kate Perkin, a […]Read On »

Joshua Jackson is one of the stars of Showtime’s THE AFFAIR. Now in its second season, Sundays at 10 PM, THE AFFAIR began by showing us events from two differing points of view, married-with-four-kids writer/professor Noah Solloway (Dominic West) and married-and-grieving-the-loss-of-her-child waitress Alison Bailey Lockhart (Ruth Wilson). In Season 2, the series, created by Sarah Treem and Hagai Levi, expands to include two more perspectives, that of Noah’s wife Helen (Maura Tierney) and Alison’s husband Cole, played by Jackson. Jackson has been a series regular before, on DAWSON’S CREEK and FRINGE, but he readily acknowledges that Cole provides some new […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell, Annie Rose Buckley, Ruth Wilson, Paul Giamatti, Bradley Whitford, B.J. Novak, Jason Schwartzman Writers: Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith Director: John Lee Hancock Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Release Date: December 13, 2013 (limited); December 20, 2013 (wide) Something you realize very early on in SAVING MR. BANKS is that the filmmakers are very fortunate that Emma Thompson exists to play MARY POPPINS author P.L. Travers. As Mrs. Travers (as she insists on being addressed) is written in the screenplay by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith, the woman is inconsiderate, heedless of […]Read On »

TV Review: LUTHER – Series 3 – “Episodes 1-4”

Idris Elba in LUTHER - Series 3 | ©2013 BBC

Stars: Idris Elba, Sienna Guillory, Warren Brown, David O’Hara, Ruth Wilson, Dermot Crowley, Nikki Amuka-Bird Writer: Neil Cross Director: Sam Miller Network: BBC America, Tuesday-Friday 10 PM Airdates: September 3-6, 2013 Reportedly, Season 3 of LUTHER is its last. This is a crying shame, since Idris Elba inhabits London police detective John Luther with the kind of intensity that makes the world disappear while we’re watching. Most American shows about police who are this tortured wind up looking a little silly, but here, largely because of Elba’s perfect performance and also because we know how profoundly Luther has transgressed, it […]Read On »

Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer Films held the World Premiere of THE LONE RANGER at Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland in Anaheim on June 22nd. It was a huge premiere between all the press, fans, guests and the stars of the film. Having two pens for just the photographers, I was in pen A.
