La, Calif. -- Make the most of Kardashian will tackle a Fred Astaire-inspired foxtrot on next days Dwts, as well as the celebrity mentioned he'd feel a lot more confident about his number if he understood who the legend was.

REVIEW: Frederick Gordon-Levitt Gives 50/50 a Fighting Chance

The planet needs more cancer comedies. But it might not require more cancer comedies like 50/50. It’s not too 50/50 is insensitive or dull or unfunny — it sidesteps all individuals potential defects using the delicacy of the very precise surgeon. On the other hand, the image’s delicacy might be misplaced: Directed by Jonathan Levine (who, in 2008, introduced us The Wackness) and compiled by Will Reiser, 50/50 never risks problem or shocking us so far as cancer position goes, however it does slot in certain pretty ho-hum non-cancer-related crudeness wherever it may. When cancer-stricken Adam, performed by Frederick Gordon-Levitt, shaves his mind with electric clippers owned by his closest friend, Kyle (Seth Rogen), you don’t need to guess where individuals clippers happen to be — the film informs you. But where 50/50 does succeed is within showing cancer — or illness generally — as part of existence, rather than just dealing with it as being a tool to create the dramatic weight swinging. The image might be so a lot better than it's, but it’s also the type of movie which makes you need to grade around the curve, adding extra points permanently intentions. Adam and Kyle are pals who operate in radio, the kind of gig that may have appeared wonderful job even two decades ago, however might as well be work carried out by dinosaurs (and I only say that ruefully). There’s no great buildup to Adam’s diagnosis, no overwrought, underlit “I found a lump!” preamble. His physician provides diagnosing inside a stream of jargon it requires Adam a couple of minutes to determine that the issue is a tumor mounted on his spine, and also the prognosis isn’t promising. It’s bad enough to suffer from your personal illness 50/50 appreciates just how much it sucks you need to help others cope with it too. Kyle, for just one, accepts Adam’s news by only half-accepting it. Realizing that Adam’s girlfriend (an icy, fluttery-eyed Bryce Dallas Howard) is under encouraging, he sets to get Adam laid, without discerning whether that’s what Adam wants — it’s that that’s what he thinks he’d want. (It’s a stride from the picture’s mindfulness that making love really causes Adam some discomfort, something which wouldn’t have happened to Kyle.) Meanwhile, Adam goodies his illness as business as always — what else can there be to complete? He starts his chemo remedies, where he makes pals of any age (one performed through the wonderful Philip Baker Hall) he attempts to dodge his clearly concerned but overbearing mother (Anjelica Houston, taking advantage of a mildly dimensional role) and, most considerably, he starts attending periods having a worked up junior counselor, Katherine (Anna Kendrick, putting her half-charming, half-awkward timing to operate). All individuals are stuff that real people might do, and Gordon-Levitt navigates them with techniques which are refreshingly unstrained. Plus, there’s just not a way around it: When you’d rather avoid seeing anybody get struck with cancer, you actually don’t need to see Gordon-Levitt struck with cancer — his youth has something related to it, but that’s not everything. Gordon-Levitt appears to be if he emerged in the womb a little concerned about how things would come out. There’s an aura of thoughtful nervous about him, that is a part of why is his careful smile so appealing and effective if this breaks through. Gordon-Levitt makes 50/50 worth watching, despite the fact that the unfortunate reality from the picture is the fact that Seth Rogen is definitely near by, ready to create a comment about his balls or his dick or blow-jobs generally. Just keepin’ it real, I suppose. However it’s time for Rogen to toss the overgrown schlub routine. Besides, 50/50 doesn’t need an overgrown schlub whatsoever. The small-tragedy of 50/50 is the fact that we actually can use a comedy, or perhaps a dramedy, or anything you’d prefer to refer to it as, that addresses — amongst other things — the way a severe illness might affect a man’s sex existence, or his prospects for romance. But we live at a time when sexual frankness usually means a lot of raw comments in the peanut gallery, disassociated from anything apart from their very own free-floating id. 50/50 falls into that trap instead of fighting off it, but the vast majority time still it shows its fighting spirit.

Hugh Jackman Markets 'Real Steel' By Knocking Out WWE Wrestler

What better way to market your movie about a boxing robot then getting in a fight yourself? At least that's the stance 'Real Steel' star Hugh Jackman took on Monday night as a guest host on WWE Raw. During a match between wrestlers Dolph Ziggler and Zach Rider, Jackman -- who was standing ringside -- decided to get involve by blindsiding Ziggler with a punch in the face. (Although, this being the WWE, it was more like a "punch.") As you can see in the clip below, the whole bit is done pretty well. However, one thing that wasn't done well: the sly reference to Jackman's film from the sideline announcer, calling the actor's punch a "real steal" (yuck, yuck yuck) for Zach Rider.

9 Milestones in the Evolution of Ryan Gosling

In this weekend’s Drive, Ryan Gosling plays a Steve McQueen-esque movie stuntman by day and a getaway wheelman by night. How did Mr. Notebook transform himself from a 13-year-old Mickey Mouseketeer who soulfully sang cheesy lyrics alongside Justin Timberlake to one of our most respected movie stars and box office heartthrobs? You can always trace a direct line through a few important roles to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success. As such, let’s look at nine pivotal performances that track the evolution of Ryan Gosling. The Mickey Mouse Club (1993) Gosling grew up in Canada, performing with his older sister at weddings and with his uncle as part of an Elvis Presley tribute act. But when the blossoming actor turned 12, he graduated form his family’s stage and successfully auditioned for a part in The Mickey Mouse Club. There, Gosling acted, danced and sang weirdly sensual slow jams to the Disney audience opposite future stars JC Chasez, Keri Russell, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1999) A year later, Gosling hung up his Mickey Mouse ears and hit the auditioning circuit. After six years worth of bit roles in TV series like Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Goosebumps, Gosling scored his first lead gig at the age of 19 in the Sam Raimi-executive produced Fox Kids series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. The actor moved to New Zealand to star as the brawny son of Zeus in this adventure show. Only Gosling was not so brawny — so the make-up and wardrobe departments reportedly painted on muscle contours and redesigned his wardrobe to make him seem bulkier. In spite of the show’s future star power, Gosling’s breakout TV project only lasted one season. The Believer (2001) Attention all teen stars: If you want the public to consider you an adult performer and not just another studio mass-creation, do like Ryan Gosling did, and star as a Jewish anti-Semite in a controversial indie. As the self-hating aforementioned character Danny in Henry Bean’s The Believer, Gosling earned his first critical praise in addition to an Independent Spirit Award nomination. This was not only the jumping off point for Gosling’s film career but the first project where you can really detect that strange Brooklyn accent the Canadian actor adopted — so that he would sound tough “like Marlon Brando.” Murder By Numbers (2002) Gosling may have had a small part in the Denzel Washington sports drama Remember the Titans, but the actor did not earn his first significant studio credit until Murder By Numbers. Playing opposite his biggest co-star yet, Sandra Bullock, the Canadian actor starred as a wealthy high school student who helps plan “perfect murders” for sport. Although the Barbet Schroeder picture received mixed reviews from critics, it was a modest box office success proving that Gosling could deliver as a male lead.

A Cube of Sugar ((Ye Habeh Gand))

A Soureh Cinema Organization production. (International sales: Soureh Cinema Organization, Teheran.) Produced, directed by Reza Mirkarimi, Screenplay by Mirkarimi, Mohammad Reza Gohari.With: Negar Javaherian, Reza Kianian, Saeed Porsamimi, Farhad Aslani, Asghar Hemat, Parivash Nazarieh, Soheila Razav, Heydayat Hashemi, Rima Raminfar, Negar Abedi, Pouneh Abdol Karimzadeh, Shamsi Fazlolahi.A fatal sweetener turns preparations for nuptials into quite another kind of gathering in Iranian director Reza Mirkarimi's latest offering, "A Cube of Sugar." Spilling over with light and movement as the bride-to-be's sisters, their husbands and assorted mourning kinfolk weave through interconnected rooms of the house and garden, Mirkarimi ("So Far, So Close") posits family as an organic entity native to the countryside. Strangely, like a kinder, gentler "Rachel Getting Married," this slim but vibrant pic could reincarnate abroad after fest-play. Little pockets of intrigue form within the kinetic congregation as in-laws dig for buried treasure, nephews tremblingly lie in wait for ghosts, and tensions bubble just below the surface in the form of delayed medical diagnoses and wistfully mourned old flames. Yet the mood is more contemplative and the atmosphere more fruitful than in the usual ceremony-fetishizing celebrations of countless bride-centric chick flicks. In one sequence typical of the film's glowing pastel canvas, seemingly inspired by French Impressionists, Mirkarimi's bride soars on a wooden swing, stretching toward a ripe apple she finally plucks and brings to her lips in her last moments of unfettered sensuality.Camera (color, Super 16-to-35mm), Hamid Khozouie Abyaneh; editor, Hassan Hassandoosst; music, Mohammad Reza Aligholi; production designer, Mohsen Shahebrahimi.

Actor Pleads Guilty to Pirating SAG Screener of Black Swan

During the rush to get awards season hopefuls in front of various guilds, the studios have turned to increasingly digital means of distributing screeners to voters. Theatrical screenings and snail-mailed DVD screeners have given way to iTunes codes that allow recipients to download films directly for viewing on laptops, iPads, and other devices. It’s a bold move dependent on a trust that none of the nearly 100,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild, for example, will turn around and pirate said films to the internet. But that’s exactly what one SAG member did last winter. SAG member Wes DeSoto, recently seen as “Werewolf Enthusiast” on a 2010 episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, was the subject of a criminal investigation himself this spring when the FBI raided his home suspecting that he had illegally uploaded SAG award season screener copies of Black Swan and four other films, including The King’s Speech and 127 Hours. DeSoto has now pleaded guilty to one charge of criminal copyright infringement for uploading his screener copy of Black Swan to BitTorrent. Wired reports that DeSoto agreed to plead guilty to “one count of breaching the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005,” which could bring a sentence of up to three years in prison. Previously, DeSoto denied ties to ThePirateBay.org pirating group TiMPE with the claim, “I’m nobody in the online file sharing world. This investigation is excessive and a waste of tax dollars.” The FBI investigation of DeSoto began when an MPAA officer flagged the illegal upload of the pirated films and he was suspected of being connected to the Pirate Bay handle mf34inc, from which the alleged pirate had bragged online of being a SAG member. The move to send full copies of screeners out to thousands of voting awards season members is cost-effective and convenient, but will piracy cases like DeSoto’s scare more studios away from adopting the new delivery method? Probably not, as DeSoto’s shaping up to be a cautionary example warning even industry insiders not to cross the MPAA. But it’ll probably make it even harder for DeSoto to work in this town again.

Alms in the Blind Equine (Anhey ghorhey da daan)

An attempt to shoehorn film theory training on space and time in to a tale of powerless Punjabi villagers triumphs over the very first artistry of Gurvinder Singh's "Alms in the Blind Equine." Singh, a protege in the late Mani Kaul (credited as creative producer), exhibits a talent for striking plans plus an intriguing sense of stillness, yet following a 40-minute mark, most auds will probably be pleading "Alms" to supply greater than undifferentiated placidity. An even more hands-on producer could move the helmer with a tight sophomore work, but meanwhile, his debut won't get beyond scattered fests. When houses are destroyed having a effective land-having concern, the villagers angrily gather, despite knowing their voices won't be heard. The quiet lined face of Father (Mal Singh) offers a residual picture of dignified protest resigned to injustice. His boy, Melu (Samuel Sikander John), -- the pressbook states boy, the subtitles say nephew -- a rickshaw puller inside the nearby capital of scotland - Bathinda, is associated with a labor action but stays nearly all his time frustrated and depressed. Becalmed proletarian struggles are wedded to slow pans as well as the dissonant notes from the wooden flute. Contact the number newsroom at news@variety.com

Electric Company Theater: Brings edge to theater scene

'No Exit'Is it theater, or is it art? Is it a live performance, or is it a cinematic experience? Electric Company Theater brings a distinct edge to Vancouver's live entertainment scene with its experimental approach to productions, pushing aside conventional boundaries while keeping audiences engaged -- often to the extent that they become part of the show.Electric Company was formed as a collective in 1996 by director Kim Collier, David Hudgins, Jonathon Young and writer Kevin Kerr, who met while training at Studio 58. They create original works as well as adapt existing plays, with an emphasis on physical and visual imagery, often crossing disciplines and integrating new media.In its 15th season, Electric Company has put on 12 mainstage productions, gone on tour eight times across Canada, the U.S. and Scotland, written two screenplays and has won theater awards across the country. Although its original intention was to only produce new work created by the company, it has recently expanded the mandate to include productions of existing scripts reinterpreting classics such as "No Exit," a successful take on Sartre's classic with a cinematic approach that involves hidden cameras.In fact, its work is so cinematic that Trish Dolman ended up adapting its play, "The Score," for CBC.Electric Company is housed in a 6,000-square-foot building located in the artsy and decidedly indie Commercial Drive neighborhood, sharing the space with three other theater companies. "This level of collaboration among organizations is somewhat unique in Canada and reflects our earliest impulses as a company," says artistic director Kerr.Filmmaker Brian Johnson has worked with Electric Company on several projects as a d.p. to help realize large-scale video work/projections integrated into the stage performances. "I like to think of our relationship as collaborative -- as that's how generous those guys are with their work," says Johnson. "They are really bringing an international scope and pedigree to what's happening in theatre here."Next for Electric Company is a re-envisioning of Tad Mosel's "All the Way Home" and a project with the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

CD Tiffany Canfield Talks About 'Smash'

CD Tiffany Canfield Talks About 'Smash' By Simi Horwitz September 1, 2011 Photo by NBC "Smash" Set in the heady world of Broadway, with warring egos and conflicts aplenty, NBC's "Smash" is already generating buzz. A successful songwriting team (Debra Messing and Christian Borle) is working on a musical inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe. An aggressive producer (Anjelica Huston) comes on board, and the casting crises begin. Will the veteran land the starring role, or will it go to a newbie? Will the womanizing director botch the whole project?Michael Mayer ("Spring Awakening," "American Idiot") directed the pilot, which was written by Theresa Rebeck, who also serves as an executive producer along with Steven Spielberg and others. Songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can") are also part of the stellar creative team. "Smash" should have special resonance for New York actors, as it dramatizes their experiencesnegotiating the rugged terrain of getting cast and the tumult that follows.Given the subject matter and locale, a spectrum of ethnically and culturally diverse actors will appear on the show, says casting director Tiffany Canfield of Telsey + Company: "Diversity is always on the forefront of our mind." Within those broad parameters, however, she expects special opportunities to come up for dancers in their 20s and 30s. Dancing and musical skills will be in demand; comedy chops will help too. "And we'll be looking for a lot of sexy people with a New York edge," she says. Relatable and accessible personalities may be the show's signature, and the acting style is realistic and honest, Canfield emphasizes.Asked if she would consider unsolicited headshots and rsums from actors who do not have representation, Canfield says it depends on the part. Though most actors on the show will be cast through agents or on the basis of recommendations, performers who have special skills, such as gymnastics or the ability to speak a foreign language, will occasionally be sought. In those instances, the casting director could very well turn to an unsolicited submission.At the audition, Canfield admires preparation, craft, and that intangible thing called "great acting." She has no problem with an actor asking questions, especially if they relate to the given circumstances of the scene or the relationships among its characters. She's also open to actors who would like to stop an audition and start again.Much of casting is intangible, Canfield says, so sometimes an unlikely actor will book the part. As an example, she cites the casting of unknown Jaime Cepero as one of the series regulars. "He's very fresh and young, but he was so appealing and such a good actor," she says. "He was able to capture a difficult quality." Telsey + Company, 311 W. 43rd St., 10th Floor, New York, NY 10036.
