TAKE two first-time film-makers from Manchester with a mutual interest in Woody Allen and you’re left with Mancattan – a highlight of the sixth Salford Film Festival, which begins today (November 20).
Okay, just my 2 cents on a theatre-related story this week. The Broadway revival of Oleanna is closing Jan. 3. According to Michael Riedel's column in The New York Post, there was a bit of a dustup between playwright David Mamet and the producers about the post-performance talkbacks . Mamet did not like them but they were popular with audiences. I don't agree with Mamet's point of view but I understand...
Andy Samberg was in Chicago this past Sunday at a YLD event. Switching gears, Bazer and Samberg discussed the comedian’s Jewish identity. He said his parents raised him with a strong cultural Jewish identity, but, at first, not a particularly religious one. One day his sister, in the fifth grade at the time, came home from her Jewish day school and said, “We’re way more Jewish than...
The seasonal pattern known as 'The Halloween Effect' has shown up on Wall Street most every year for decades and frightened away the bears. Maybe that's why they hibernate in winter.
"New Moon" stars Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed make their picks for the director of "Breaking Dawn," the final installment in the "Twilight" franchise. Did someone say Tim Burton?
Mateo Blanco (Lluís Homar) used to be a film director. In fact, back in1994, he was directing movies that bear more than a passing resemblance to the earlier films of Pedro Almodóvar, like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown -- wild but character-driven comedies, walking the line between madcap and melodrama. Almodóvar's recent work, like , and now Broken Embraces, has veered...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Penelope Cruz feels uncomfortable talking about nude scenes and says she has "an allergy to labels," but she becomes effusive when discussing her "dream year" with two special films about to hit theatres.
Five and half years ago, the Century Foundation's enormous brownstone at 41 East 70th Street nearly sold to Woody Allen and his wife, until he decided that renovating the place from offices into a house would take too much work. The house was asking $15 million. Since then, the price of the townhouse--which Paula Del Nunzio , probably the most powerful townhouse broker in Manhattan, is calling the...

“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.” -Woody Allen I love meringue cookies.

Welcome to a new series here on Cinematical where we select an actor or actress and the role we think is their all time best. Last August, "Meryl Streep" wrote an op-ed piece for The Onion called "Name One Masterpiece Of Cinema That I've Starred In." It was really written by the Onion staff, of course, but they (and Streep) made a good point. For a woman who is very possibly the...

One of our favorite gentlemanly blogs, The Art of Manliness , recently posted a list of their picks for the 50 best books for boys (specifically for ages 9 to 12, but really for boys of all ages).
