Review: Me and Orson Welles

Richard Linklater returns to the big screen with an entertaining backstage period piece that's pretty insubstantial, save for Christian McKay's remarkable performance as Orson Welles.

Cinematical Seven: The Orson Welles Primer

This week Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles is finally making its way to the big screen. It's not a big buzzed-about film, but it is, indeed, one worthy of your time. The movie offers a peek at Efron's possible future (which the abysmal 17 Again completely failed to do), a delightful look into creating art in the '30s, and it recreates the nuances of theater on the big screen. And hey, it's...

Guess who upstages 'Me and Orson Welles'?

The famed director, as played by Christian McKay, can't help but be larger than life, even with Claire Danes and Zac Efron along for the ride. "Me and Orson Welles" is a frothy backstage pass, courtesy of director Richard Linklater, to the early days of the great director (that would be Welles) during a stint as the mercurial head of the Mercury Theater Company in 1937.

Richard Linklater Talks Before Sunrise/Sunset, and Ponders a Third Film

The prospect of Richard Linklater making a third film in the Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset series is terrifying to me. The first film was a perfect piece of twenty-something romance, and through some sort of miracle, Linklater was able to craft a superior second film that sees the characters ten years later in very different places in their lives. Could they really do it a third time? Our friend Frosty...

Movie Review: Me and Orson Welles

Based on the novel by Richard Kaplow, Welles stars Efron as Richard Samuels, a student and budding actor who gets swept up in the world of theater when he is cast in a small role in Orson Welles’ 1937 production of Caesar . Young and naïve, Richard tries hard to navigate through Welles’ tantrums, mind-games and mood-swings that range from charming to tyrannical.

Film: Review:Me And Orson Welles

The problem with films about theater is that they tend to feel theatrical. They’re less about human beings than about actors pretending to be actors pretending to be human beings. That’s a central weakness of Richard Linklater’s disappointing new period drama Me And Orson Welles , a terminally bland coming-of-age story about a pretty young man with the world’s most awesome after-school...

Movie Review: Me and Orson Welles

Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles is an amiable period-piece showbiz comedy set in 1937, when Welles, then 22, first blasted his way into the orbit of fame with his Mercury Theatre production of Julius Caesar. There's one great reason to see the movie, and that's Christian McKay's performance as Welles. He looks just like him — the boy-man face rounded out with a little too much baby fat,...

Me and Orson Welles - 11/24/2009

In Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles, the 14th feature by the prolific indie auteur, British stage actor Christian McKay offers another invocation of the mythos that surrounded the titular American filmmaker. It is an impressive, dominating and completely engrossing performance which McKay, at the age of 34, has refined over the last few years since first inhabiting the legendary martinet in...

“Me And Orson Welles” New York Screening

Do not adjust your screens, this really is a Herve Leger dress.

The actress walked the red carpet with [...]

Me and Orson Welles

I'll come right out and say it: Richard Linklater is better than Me and Orson Welles . Sure, the indie superstar and inspiration to many a director (including Kevin Smith) is responsible for quite a few mainstream movies, but none have ever been so boring and lifeless as this film. School of Rock had Jack Black and a group of endlessly loveable kids.

"The War of the Worlds" by Josep Maria Subirachs

 The War of the Worlds  by Josep Maria Subirachs - worldgallery

On October 30th 1938, Orson Welles (1915-1985), under the seal of CBS, adapted the classic " The War of the Worlds " to a radio script, based upon the science fiction novel by HG Wells. The introduction of the program explained that this was a dramatization of the novel by H. G. Wells. Those listeners who tuned in the broadcast and did not hear the introduction thought it was a real news broadcast,
