HBO original series “The Gilded Age” has dropped a trailer for its eight-episode second season, premiering Oct. 29 on HBO and streaming on Max. Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”) serves as creator, writer and executive producer.
Set in the titular time period around the 1880s, this historical drama chronicles the divisions in wealthy society. It chiefly follows Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon), an aspiring socialite whose husband, George Russell (Morgan Spector) is a railroad tycoon. Bertha enters the New York high society scene, only to find that the other ladies look down on her “new money” status. She makes an enemy of “old money” Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski), who believes that Bertha doesn’t belong in their world.
Season 2 sees the conflict between Bertha and the “old system” ramp up after Bertha’s bid for a box at the Academy of Music is rejected and she decides to fights back.

It has been exactly 50 years since Donald Sutherland earned his first Golden Globe nomination, and the tireless actor has marked the occasion by garnering yet another one. His bid for the HBO miniseries “The Undoing” is his ninth overall and, at age 85, he stands out as this year’s oldest nominee in any acting category. Though it has been 13 years since the HFPA last recognized him, he has remained remarkably active and has now proven to be as serious a contender as ever.
See 2021 Golden Globes nominations list: Nominees for 78th annual ceremony
At the upcoming Golden Globes, Sutherland faces off against John Boyega (“Small Axe”), Brendan Gleeson (“The Comey Rule”), Dan Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Jim Parsons (“Hollywood”) in the race for Best TV Supporting Actor.

HBO Max is continuing to pull from Warner Bros.’ incredible back catalogue of movies, with August bringing a huge number of new titles to the streaming service. With over 130 new pieces of content, the list of upcoming arrivals encompasses classic films of all kinds, from Oscar winners to comedies, horrors to family pics and, of course, tons of blockbusters.
A highlight for many users will probably be the glut of Batman films coming to HBO Max at the start of the month.

It’s August 2020 and that can only mean one thing: HBO Max is about to enter Lovecraft Country.
Over the years HBO (and by the transitive property its new HBO Max streaming offshoot) has grown accustomed to debuting a buzzworthy new TV show or limited series every couple of months. For August 2020 that will almost certainly be Southern Gothic horror series Lovecraft Country. The J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele-produced thriller arrives on August 14 on HBO and HBO Max.
Other strong HBO Max originals arriving in August include the documentary Class Action Park (release date Tbd), Seth Rogen-starring comedy An American Pickle (Aug. 6), and finales for I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Doom Patrol, and Perry Mason.
Of course, HBO Max is designed to house much of WarnerMedia’s content across many mediums. That means some recent movies on note like Jojo Rabbit (Aug. 1), Richard Jewell (Aug. 8), and Birds of Prey (Aug.

Witness the rise of the man who changed America. Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) is Thurgood Marshall.
Also starring Josh Gad, Kate Hudson, Dan Stevens, Sterling K. Brown and James Cromwell, watch the exciting trailer now.
Such an dynamic trailer – with a fall season release date, expect to see awards buzz for such a powerful film. Acting, directing, writing, producing categories, including the technical categories for cinematography, costumes, hair and makeup, and production design, with score and song to round out the possible nominations.
Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, Marshall, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days – a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder.
The film has a top notch production team.
Directed by Reginald Hudlin, Marshall is produced by Paula Wagner, Jonathan Sanger ( The Elephant Man, Vanilla Sky, Flight Of The Navigator), and Reginald Hudlin. It is written by Jake Koskoff and Michael Koskoff.
Hudlin co-produced the 88th Academy Awards ceremony in 2016 and was one of the producers of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture for the film.
Paula Wagner launched Cruise/Wagner Productions (C/W) with her former CAA client Tom Cruise. C/W went on to produce such critically acclaimed films as The Others, The Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Without Limits, Shattered Glass, Narc, Elizabethtown, and Ask the Dust, as well as Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (which Wagner executive produced). C/W was responsible for the original Mission: Impossible film trilogy (Mission: Impossible 2 and Mission: Impossible III).
Open Road Films will release Marshall on October 13, 2017. Mark it on your calendar now.

All week long our writers will debate: Which was the greatest film year of the past half century. Check here for a complete list of our essays. Just one glance at the Oscar nominees for 1998 might make it seem less a questionable choice for “best year in film” — and more an insane one. Instead of a 1974 – The Godfather II, The Conversation, Chinatown, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, etc – or even a 1994, where Shawshank, Quiz Show, and Pulp Fiction lost to Gump – you choose a year where the Oscars would allow Roberto Benigni to climb atop both the figurative and literal chairs of the Shrine? Fine, step away from the Oscars. Would you still celebrate a year that saw not one, but two movies about asteroids threatening the Earth? A year that saw such scars carved across cinematic history as Patch Adams, My Giant, Stepmom, and Krippendorf’s Tribe? It bears repeating: Krippendorf’S Tribe?...

The mainstream embrace of ABC’s “Ugly Betty” and The CW’s “Jane the Virgin” will hopefully mean that the charming and hilarious telenovela satire “Ana Maria in Novela Land” can find a larger audience beyond the Latino movie ghetto. Starring Edy Ganem (“Devious Maids”) in what should be a star-making turn as both schlubby millennial Ana Maria and hyper-glamorous “gold-digging orphan/whore” Ariana (the protagonist of the fictional “Pasión Sin Limites,” or “Passion Without Limits”), this switching-places comedy warmly and trenchantly sends up the telenovela genre’s swooning melodrama and oversexed-but-prudish contradictions. “Novela Land” begins with a flawless spoof,...

William H. Macy arrived at last January’s Sundance Film Festival with his directorial debut, a music dramedy called Rudderless. Reviews were good, the cast is solid and the story is heartwarming and inspiring – so it is strange that we have heard so little about this upcoming feature. Now, however, Rudderless has a feel-good trailer online that promises a solid run on demand and in theaters when the film releases this October.
Rudderless tells the story of Sam (Billy Crudup), a high-profile ad exec who loses his son in a school shooting, only to turn to grieving through the drink. After he finds a collection of his deceased son’s demo tapes and lyrics, he decides to share the music with others.

After taking the past year off and removing Tiger Woods from his former headline position, EA is returning to the links next year with EA Sports PGA Tour 15.
Revealed during the company’s E3 2014 press conference, PGA Tour 15 has been built using the powerful Frostbite 3 engine, which promises that the title will not only look stunning, but will also feature “no load times between holes.”
While the world of golf may not appeal to everyone, EA is hoping that the new “extreme fantasy courses” will pull in a wider audience. An example of this was shown in a video clip that started off as your typical golf experience, with a professional looking golfer driving a ball from a lush green landscape. As the ball flew through the air, however, we saw it fly over an exploding battleship that is reminiscent of something you would see in Battlefield 4. The tagline “Golf...

The 6th Istanbul Documentary Days was blessed with an outstanding location for a documentary film festival: a park which has become a cause and a symbol of an urban uprising movement that has spread to the whole of the country. What makes it even more fantastic is that it was not meant to be so. It all happened naturally, so to speak.
In 2012, an announcement was made that there was a plan to turn Gezi Park, a small historical park in central Istanbul, into a shopping mall area. Activists for environmental as well urban rights launched a campaign to preserve the park. As work which would destroy the park began in the second half of May this year, a small group of activists set up tents in the park to stage a peaceful protest.

"Jim Thorpe - All American" (1951): Burt Lancaster surely had the physique for the title role in this portrait of the Native American who medaled in both the pentathlon and decathlon.
"Walk, Don't Run" (1966): Cary Grant made his final screen appearance in this comedy set against the backdrop of the Tokyo Olympics, where scarce quarters make roommates of strangers (Grant, Samantha Eggar, Jim Hutton).
"Chariots of Fire" (1981): Generally acknowledged as the top Olympics movie to date, confirmed by its Oscar for best picture, director Hugh Hudson's drama casts Ben Cross and Ian Charleson as British competitors in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris.
"Personal Best" (1982): An athlete (Mariel Hemingway) becomes deeply involved with a rival (Patrice Donnelly) for a spot on the U.

"Special From Next Avenue"
By Leah Rozen
Hollywood has long carried an Olympic torch for the Games and their charismatic champions
Before he wore a loincloth as Tarzan and yodeled while swinging across movie screens on a vine, Johnny Weissmuller was an Olympic swimming champ.
The strapping Weissmuller -- 6-foot-5, 190 pounds -- power-splashed his way to five gold medals in the 1924 and ‘28 Olympic Games. Recognizing a marketable hunk when it saw one, Hollywood snapped him up.
"It was like stealing," Weissmuller (1904-1984) once said of his Tarzan career, which included a dozen films between 1932 and ‘48. "There was swimming in it, and I didn't have much to say. How can a guy climb trees, say ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane,’ and make a million?"
I was a sucker for Weismuller’s Tarzan films -- as a kid, I used to watch the scratchy prints that repeatedly aired on Saturday afternoon TV.

While hand-drawn, two-dimensional animation is now seen as slightly archaic in the west, it's still the foundation of Japanese animation, where it looks anything but – usually because it's used to render fantastic and futuristic tales that make ours look timid. Added to which, they're invariably gorgeous to look at. There are strange lands, mystical creatures and flamboyantly long titles to explore in this biennial weekend round-up, such as Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below by Makoto Shinkai, or the latest spin-off from the hugely successful series, Full Metal Alchemist 2: Sacred Star Of Milos (followed by a Q&A with the director). A Letter To Momo captures the spirit of classic Studio Ghibli productions such as My Friend Totoro, while Ghibli's own From Up On Poppy Hill is a fantasy-free coming-of-age story set in 1964 Yokohama, and Oblivion Island shows what they can do with computer animation.

One of Billy Crudup's earliest roles was in the film Without Limits. In that movie, the actor played Steve Prefontaine, the world-famous runner who competed in the Olympics and had his life tragically cut short when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 24. Now Crudup has signed on to be in a new movie about running, but instead of being the athlete, this time he'll be playing the coach. Both Billy Crudup and Douglas Booth have signed on to star in Life At These Speeds, a new film from director Leif Tilden and writer Marc Novak, according to Variety. Based on the novel by Jeremy Jackson, the movie tells the story of a young man (Booth) whose friends are killed in an accident. Needing a way to eliminate his grief, he begins to take up running and winds up becoming a world-class athlete. Sam Rockwell...

Whilst preparing to review this blu-ray release of Martin Scorsese’s 2004 Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator I commented on a popular social networking website that it was the director’s best film. The response from one “follower” summed up the general mood, in a way which was as understated as it was unmistakably derisory: “are you serious?”
Are you serious? Should a film by one of the great living directors – a film nominated for 11 Academy Awards, winning 5 (including snaring Cate Blanchett the Best Supporting Actress trophy for her uncanny turn as screen legend Katharine Hepburn) – be such a controversial personal choice? I suppose any film would generate a few snarling remarks were it compared to such unanimously canonised works as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas.

Chicago – “Limitless” is a fun, clever riff on the timeless tale of a man who wanted the world but didn’t know the price. From Faust to Icarus to “The Lawnmower Man,” we’ve long been fascinated with the idea that not only is it possible to have it all but that those who do will pay greatly for the privilege. With the best work of Bradley Cooper’s career, stylish direction, and clever storytelling, “Limitless” is a great rental, now available on Blu-ray, DVD, iTunes, and wherever else you like to download new releases.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
What if one little pill could turn your entire life around? Would you take it? You know that it’s bound to come with a few side effects and that every coin has another side but would you do it anyway? Would you take the ride for the inevitable fall? These are just...

Based on Alan Glynn’s 2001 novel The Dark Fields, Limitless is a thriller with a science fiction edge that sees a down and out writer unlock the maximum potential of his brain using an experimental new drug called Nzt. Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) is a scruffy loser living in a squalid New York apartment, dumped by his long-term girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) and struggling to start a novel. But after being given the mysterious clear pill by an old acquaintance, Eddie finds that not only can he quickly finish his book, but that everything is now different. On the drug the world looks better, Eddie dresses better, he learns new skills faster and his new-found confidence and wit ensure he is a hit with the ladies – and with big business.
Within days Eddie is a phenomenon on Wall Street, using his time on the drug to get rich with a view to some bigger,...

What would you do if you could fully tap your brain’s capabilities? Every generation or so, the question is pondered, thanks to the latest breakthroughs or studies in neuroscience. It makes for an interesting discussion and sometimes, brilliant works such as Flowers for Algernon (the great book by Daniel Keyes, and Charly the movie with Cliff Robertson). The most recent addition to this sub-genre of fiction is The Dark Fields, a novel by Alan Glynn, which became the basis for the movie Limitless, which was released on DVD this week by Twentieth-Century Fox Home Entertainment.
If you were Eddie Morra, you apparently turn into something unlike yourself. We meet him teetering atop a high-rise as people bang on his security door to enter his apartment fortress. Flashing back, we learn what happened to turn a slacker into a genius. Leslie Dixon’s screenplay, which makes huge changes from the novel,...

Limitless Bradley Cooper is Eddie Morra, a burned-out loser-ish writer who smokes too much and hates his life--until a chance meeting with an old acquaintance turns him on to a new "smart drug" that unlocks his brain and gives him super-intelligence, endless energy and sets him off on a life of wealth and fame. All things do end, however, and for Eddie, maybe not so well.

Blu-ray Review
Limitless
Directed by: Neil Burger
Cast: Bradley Cooper, Anna Friel, Abbie Cornish, Robert De Niro
Running Time: 1 hr 45 mins
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: July 19, 2011
Plot: A floundering writer (Cooper) discovers a top-secret drug which gives him with super human abilities.
Who’S It For? I imagine this film would appeal greatly to the readers of Esquire and GQ and the like — it plays like their articles read. However, Limitless is well-crafted enough to appeal to basically anyone. That is, unless you find spending time with Bradley Cooper a challenge, which is where I was at just awhile back. Cooper has finally grown on me though, and I liked him here quite a lot. All in all, it’s pretty standard action-thriller fare, but it’s stylish and face-paced enough to maintain one’s interest for the duration.

Until recently, I couldn’t stand Bradley Cooper — and no,...

Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) gets to have it all in Limitless, coming to DVD and Blu-ray on July 19. The movie is the first Relativity Media film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment after the companies signed a multi-year deal in March.
Based on the novel by Alan Glynn, the thriller stars Cooper as Eddie Morra, a struggling writer whose life is turned around when he takes a top secret drug that allows him to use 100% of his brain. Suddenly, Morra rises to the top of the financial world, drawing the attention of business mogul Carl Von Loon (Robert De Niro, Meet the Parents). But the drug has side effects, to not mention a group of hit men trying to keep it secret.
Limitless also stars Abbie Cornish (Sucker Punch) and Anna Friel (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger).
The PG-13 movie was released in theaters to good reviews and grossed $77.6 million.

I’ve put my best team of problem solvers on the issue and they can’t work it out, but 7 or 8 of you have told me it’s not working for you… so I presume there’s many more out there. To date we’ve had a little less entries than last time, so this problem is too much for me to ignore.
My only solution for now is for you to email your picks to editor@obsessedwithfilm.com. I will be collating results on Monday or Tuesday, so you’ve got a bit of time left to enter.

"Brooklyn Without Limits" may have been Jane Krakowski's Emmy episode -- and it was certainly one of the funniest 30 Rock episodes from a very funny season -- but it was also notable for the appearance of Lincoln pitchman and Emmy nominee, John Slattery. The Mad Men star portrayed Steve Austin (not the wrestler, though if you are blind that's negotiable), a Rhode Island Tea Party wackadoodle running for Congress, and he was so utterly brilliant that it called to mind another Mad Men star who moonlighted on 30 Rock: Jon Hamm. Which employee of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce acquitted themselves better in Tina Fey's funhouse? Movieline investigates ahead.

This episode of 30 Rock made it increasingly obvious how much effort the show puts into bringing all of its storylines together.
On this week's "Brooklyn Without Limits," there where three major plots, which all got resolved because of one another. In all three stories, one of our favorite characters was doing something immoral, and by episode's end, decided to cease this action because "sometimes you gotta do the right thing, even when the wrong thing would be a whole lot easier."
The quote from Tracy's movie, and the film itself, was so moving to Jenna that she stopped trying to sabotage his chances of winning awards.
Once Liz found out that Jenna and Tracy were doing the right thing, she stopped wearing the Halliburton-owned jeans that made her butt look so good. And finally once Jack realized that Liz had given up her perfect jeans for shorteralls, he quit backing...

It's a real shame that this episode of 30 Rock didn't air the week before the election. NBC thought it was a better idea to show something called Scared Shrekless. Oof.
Poor network decisions aside (I'm looking at you, too, AMC), tonight's lampooning of congressional candidates was a very refreshing change of pace after months and months of real-life campaign ads.
With representative Bookman (Queen Latifah's character from earlier in the season) publicly denouncing NBC's merger with Kabletown, Jack must throw his weight behind her opponent Steve Austen.

With representative Bookman (Queen Latifah's character from earlier in the season) publicly denouncing NBC's merger with Kabletown, Jack must throw his weight behind her opponent Steve Austen.

Tucson and Phoenix: Prepare to be rocked, shocked and defiled. Blasting its way into its third — and biggest — year on Sept. 18-25, the Arizona Underground Film Festival is a cacophonous concoction of angry transsexuals, bumbling hit men, slacker superheroes, living dolls, aliens, dead hookers, adventure-seeking blondes and other crazies.
This year the fest is screening 30 feature films, some of which are making their U.S. and even world debuts. The opening night film is the U.S. premiere of the German hit man comedy Snowman’s Land, directed by Tomasz Thomson,while closing the fest is the controversial and violent A Serbian Film by Srdjan Spasojevic, which you have to be over-18 to get into.
