I just finished watching season 1 of the television show Heroes and I can honestly say I’m a little obsessed. It’s not a great show but it is totally my kind of show, a sort of sprawling mishmash of elements from X-Men , Watchmen and the Manchurian Candidate and post 9/11 paranoia with lots of grandiose themes, moral ambiguity, family dysfunction and general angst. I find myself particularly...
Another Woody Allen movie, released in January 1991. It took me weeks to get around to watching. Perhaps I should close the dvd rental account. The movie is about Alice Tate finds, mother who is getting bored with her life and is looking for an inspiration to give he life meaning. In this search Alice has found comfort in creature comforts, clothes, makeup and home decorating. This is not enough, there...
Brooklyn Heights is no stranger to the FX drama Damages which filmed much of its second season in and around Brooklyn last year. Oscar winner William Hurt took up temporary residence on Willow Street during the filming and even caused some controversy at a local bistro. The series is now shooting its third season, stopping [...]
She's about to open the second-biggest film of her career , so what better timing than now to point you to a new peek at Kristen Stewart' s next non- Twilight film? Check out the new trailer for The Yellow Handkerchief , a Sundance entry that follows three strangers in post-Katrina Louisiana - Martine (Stewart), Gordy ( Eddie Redmayne ), and Brett ( William Hurt ) -- as they search together for life,...

"A History of Violence" stars Viggo Mortensen as a pillar of a small town community who runs a diner and lives a happy and quiet life with his wife (Maria Bello) and two children. But their lives are forever changed when Mortensen thwarts an attempted robbery and is lauded as a hero by the media, attracting the attention of some mobsters (William Hurt and Ed Harris) who believe he is someone...
In truth, Kristen Stewart plays about second or third banana in the trailer for The Yellow Handkerchief, an indie drama that seems more focused on William Hurt and his character’s troubled past with the woman-who-got-away (played by Maria Bello) than with the younger Stewart and costar Eddie Redmayne. I’m usually a sucker for meandering dramas
Yes, I’m a loser and am a little behind on this movie. I have been meaning to write about it and now finally I saw a trailer from the movie, The Yellow Handkerchief, and decided to write about it. Kristen Stewart stars in this movie with William Hurt and Maria Bello. In the movie a [...]
I feel like The Yellow Handkerchief is a movie that can go either way. It is one of those small dramatic independent films that is most likely super cliched or surprisingly poignant and original. Based on the awesome cast--Maria Bello, William Hurt, Kristen Stewart, Eddie Redmayne--I am hoping for the latter. The film tells the story of 3 people who all come together on a road-trip as a result of...
The Yellow Handkerchief looks romantic and sappy, sure, but also geographically and economically interesting -- "indie" in other words. Oscar winner William Hurt drifts into the lives of Kristen Stewart and her boyfriend, Eddie Redmayne of The Other Boleyn Girl,...
