"Hamlet 2" | Focus Features Hopes: Blithe Comedy + Well-Known Entertainers = Late Summer Hit - indieWIRE
In a key scene halfway through "Hamlet 2," a downtrodden Arizona high school theater teacher named Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan), whose raunchy, quasi-autobiographical play has raised the ire of the local community, gets his confidence boosted by Cricket Feldstein (Amy Poehler), a fiery representative from the American Civil Liberties Union. With a twinge of excitement, Cricket explains that the school's attempt to suppress his work constitutes a First Amendment violation, and he stands a good chance of winni

Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan return for "Night at the Museum II"
The cast continues to come together for the highly anticipated sequel to “Night at the Museum.” We knew the film, subtitled “Escape from the Smithsonian” once again starred Ben Stiller, this time alongside newcomers Hank Azaria and Amy Adams, but now we know some other familiar faces are returning, plus who the villain is. “I am playing a fictional Egyptian pharaoh that comes to life,” Azaria revealed to MTV News. “I’m the villain in the movie and have all sorts of nasty plans for modern

Insert Caption: Hamlet 2
Filed under: Fandom, Contests, Insert CaptionWelcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where we definitely rock it with sexy Jesus all night long. Last week we asked you to strap in Statham-style and race to be the first one to knock us over with a caption for an image from the flick Death Race. Congrats to all three of our winners -- your thirst for speed, prison humor and bald men is quite inspiring to us all. 1. "You sank my battleship!!" -- Jason F. 2. "Unfortunately, the Death St

Stars in Rewind: A Retro, Silent Hamlet
Filed under: Classics, Trailers and Clips, Stars in Rewind The unthinkable has happened -- Steve Coogan treaded on William Shakespeare's grave and created the super-saucy Hamlet 2. But as the film continues to expand its screening reach, I thought I'd go back in time -- way, way back in time, beyond many of the Hamlet films that have graced our Shakespeare-insatiable eyes. The above film was not meant to be a comedy, but you have got to see the silent version of Hamlet above. The music alone is peppy en

Scoop! Benicio del Toro and Catherine Keener dating!
Apparently there's some secret love in the air! Eyewitness reports are suggesting that a supposedly innocent dinner in Los Angeles last week wasn't so innocent after all! Onlookers are reporting (and by that we mean more than just one gossip-monger) that there was a certain sizzle between the pair, and that there was "chemistry" between the two actors. A diner reported: He whispered into her ear, and she listened with rapt attention. He brushed his hand on her back. They had nice chemistry. Cat

Movie Review: The Rest Was Silence, but Then Came the Sequel
“Hamlet 2” belongs to the school of free-for-all satiric farce whose creators ball up wads of ideas, apply chewing gum and hurl them against the wall to see what sticks. If the style smacks of desperation, enough of the jokes cling to make “Hamlet 2,” directed by Andrew Fleming, intermittently funny.

New Film Tests Crudity’s Limits
Ben Stiller slurps gore from a human head. Robert Downey Jr. wears Blackface throughout. Both milk an extended gag about Hollywood’s weakness for what they impolitely call retards. And the film was not cheap. “Tropic Thunder,” an R-rated movie-industry spoof set to open on Aug. 13, is shaping up as an unusual parting gift to Paramount Pictures from Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Stacey Snider. The three are expected to leave Paramount shortly over dissatisfaction with its handling of their D

Courteney Cox Spills the Dirt on Her "Little Performer"
Will the Arquette acting legacy continue? Little Coco Arquette, daughter of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, is quite the ham, her mom tells Entertainment Tonight.

But would she let her little girl follow in her parents' footsteps? "No. Oh,

Here is an interview I did for dogandponyshowwebsite. com
1. How did you first get interested in wanting to be an actor?1) I've wanted to act as far back as I can remember. My mother taught an acting class and my father performed with Improvisation troops in Chicago when I was 3-4 years old. One of my earliest memories is joining the other children in my mother's class to form a dragon, a couple of kids would be the head - a few kids the body - and so on... I was part of the tail. We brought all the parts to life by moving together and making dragon noises as we
