With Christmas on the horizon I wanted to take a look at my ‘Top 4 Holy Grail Comics’. The reason it is four and not five is because the fifth entry on my list is the holiest of holies for Wolverine fans. I believe I have enough content to get a blog post about it on its own! So these are the four comics that are financially out of reach but they would make my collection feel complete. So far in my comic reading/collecting my taste in characters haven’t led me to the poor house. I managed to acquire the first Wolverine mini series and Wolverine #1 all for £30 and under. I also have a good selection of key Daredevil issues in the same price bracket. My biggest regret in my nearly twenty years of collecting is I never kept a record of how much I paid for what. I...

HBO is partnering with The Atlantic to produce a series of short films titled “Question Your Answers,” with the goal of challenging audiences to confront their own assumptions.
The series launched Tuesday with a short film featuring “Westworld” star Jeffrey Wright pondering the question, “Should I be scared?” Additional short films featuring your favorite HBO actors are underway.
Wright’s feature sounds like something a host from “Westworld” might grapple with: the short opens with the actor seated on an airplane, and he at first feels frightened by some turbulence. Throughout the short, different versions of Wright pop up, including the optimist and the “hair-on-fire headline reader,” evolving into a metaphor for current global instability.

“Through thought-provoking storytelling, HBO encourages audiences to challenge their most deeply held views and examine human complexities,” said executive vice president of consumer marketing at HBO Chris Spadaccini. “The Atlantic introduced an engaging platform to explore this concept and we are very excited to partner with them and extend the series, inviting viewers to consider multiple sides of some very timely questions.”
Sam Rosen, head of growth at the Atlantic, added: “Since our founding, The Atlantic has been a place for debate–home not to a single viewpoint but a spectrum of diverse, and often conflicting, ideas. That is, ultimately, what Question Your Answers is about: appreciating how civil discourse rests upon intellectual humility and critical self-reflection. We’re thrilled to be partnering with HBO in bringing that message to a wider audience.”
You can watch Wright in “Should I Be Scared,” directed by David Shane of O Positive Films, before “Westworld” on Sunday, May 13.

The Oranges sees the very promising and rather unlikely pairing of Hugh Laurie (House) and Leighton Meester (Gossip Girls) in the leading roles.
We caught the excellent first trailer back in the summer, and with an all-star cast led by Laurie and Meester, it’s naturally been one to look forward to this year.
The film was released in the Us back in October, and will be released in UK theatres this Friday, and we’ve been given an exclusive new clip from the film to share.
“David and Paige Ostroff (Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Walling (Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey.

Stuck Between Stations accurately summarizes this flat little-engine-that-can’t. Aspiring to the great heights of the indie genius of Jessica Westfeldt, justifiably idolized for Kissing Jessica Stein and the superbly moving new release Friends With Kids, the makers of this self-indulgent and staggeringly long 84-minute journey would have done better to watch, not do.
The plot loosely follows Casper (Sam Rosen) returning home scarred from war and running into a girl from elementary and high school, Becky (Zoe Lister Jones). What follows is the philosophical events of one night, a la Linklater, including cameos by David (Michael Imperioli), the academic advisor Becky has been sleeping with, and Paddy (Josh Hartnett, who’s fourth billed in the credits; he’s fallen far), the party friend who proselytizes about Casper’s role as a jackboot corporate drone who fights for Halliburton. Among the many examples of terrible writing in this project, Paddy’s rants elicit a nonsensical,...

In the movie, Casper (Rosen), a soldier home on bereavement leave, gets a second chance to make an impression on his childhood crush Rebecca (Lister-Jones), a promising grad student, after the two meet in a bar in Minneapolis. Drifting through the streets of their hometown, the pair embark on a night wherein they find themselves falling in love and falling apart.

Congratulations to Stuck Between Stations. The Tff 2011 film has been picked up for distribution by Wrekin Hill Entertainment in partnership with Neca Films. Stuck Between Stations centers around Casper (Sam Rosen), a young soldier who serendipitously encounters his childhood crush, Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones), while home on bereavement leave from Afghanistan after the death of his father. Over the course of one night, these two find themselves trapped on a bittersweet rollercoaster of reconnecting and growing close, but plagued by the grey cloud of Casper's imminent return to war looming above them. On November 4, Wrekin Hill began a limited theatrical release of Brady Kiernan's poignant film (also featuring Josh Hartnett and Michael Imperioli) at the ReRun Gastropub Theater in Brooklyn. Lionsgate is also planning to release the film on DVD and VOD in March 2012. The film (written by Nat Bennett and star Rosen), which beautifully showcases Minneapolis at night, will...

"Richard Linklater's 1995 romantic gem Before Sunrise followed Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke, portraying travelers meeting on a train, on a stroll through after-hours Vienna," begins Andy Webster in the New York Times. "In Brady Kiernan's winning debut feature, Stuck Between Stations, Casper (Sam Rosen) and Becky (Zoe Lister-Jones) take an overnight jaunt through Minneapolis. The charm, if not the history, of its principals is similar."
"A digital-video take on the old whirlwind service romance à la The Clock, Stuck Between Stations is quite proudly shot on-location in Minneapolis, where director Brady Kiernan tries manfully to find enchantment in a world-for-two pedestrian odyssey through a middle-large middle-western town," writes Nick Pinkerton in the Voice. "There's an overapplication of split-screen and woozy soundtrack cues to this end, but Lister Jones and Rosen do an appealing back-and-forth with lively dialogue, not dulled in the interest of realism.

Toronto, Canada (September 16, 2011) – NY based Ato Pictures proudly announced today that it has acquired all North American rights to The Oranges, one of the most buzzed about Toronto titles directed by Julian Farino making his feature film debut.

Damsels In Distress – Whit Stillman’s (The Last Days of Disco) ode to stupid university girls is a dumb blond joke that babbles on far too long. The damsels, Violet (Greta Gerwig), Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke), Heather (Carrie MacLemore) and Lily (Analeigh Tipton) run a suicide prevention center where they counsel in tap-dancing to overcome depression or as Violet terms it a “tailspin”. These girls are outlandish caricatures rather than engaging characters, but ultimately they’re not naturally funny enough. They’re annoyances that you`d simply love to gag. Greta Gerwig, like she was in Greenberg, is the standout – a breathtaking actress that looks like a cross between Grace Kelly and Chloe Sevigny. Stupid dialogue flows out of her mouth like magic. She is the mentor of these girls and has more up her sleeve, a desire to start a dance craze. This is quite original and should have been the plot of the film,...

If you're more interested in the typical fall slate of festival entrees than summer's glut of tentpole action fare, this is a great week. The Toronto International Film Festival announced the first wave of films that will play the fest in September. This is a batch of about 50 titles, which makes up only a small chunk of the programming. Usually Tiff features between two and three hundred films. But these are some of the highest-profile entries. Below you'll find rundowns on the new films from George Clooney, Bennett Miller, Jay & Mark Duplass, Todd Solondz, Francis Ford Coppola, Cameron Crowe, Sarah Polley, Fernando Meirelles, Lars von Trier, Marc Forster, Steve McQueen, Alexander Payne, and Lynne Ramsay. No announcement yet of the Midnight Madness programming choices, always some of my faves, but this is a great start. This is quite the list -- there are easily thirty films here that could be potential top ten for 2011 candidates,...

It looks like we're in for another great year at the Toronto International Film Festival, and I'm excited to be just a little bit closer to the action this time around. The very first titles from the 2011 fest were announced today, and there were definitely a lot of familiar faces among the 10 Galas and 43 Special Presentations. George Clooney is back with two films this year (The Ides of March and The Descendants) and many other Tiff alumni are returning with their latest works including David Cronenberg (A Dangerous Method), Lars Von Trier (Melancholia), Todd Solondz (Dark Horse), Fernando Meirelles (360), Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), Steve McQueen (Shame), Pedro Almodóvar (The Skin I Live In), Michael Winterbottom (Trishna) and Sarah Polley (Take This Waltz). Both Moneyball and 50/50 fill the requisite "big September release with awards potential" slots, while Roland Emmerich's Anonymous was a bit of a surprise pick. However, for the first time ever,...

As someone that only watches films rather than make them, my favorite thing about the Red camera, the digital camera that has democratized high quality imagery amongst low budget filmmakers, is the clarity not only of the imagery, but the specificity it allows for regional writer/directors to bring out the best in their hometown. In recent years, we've seen Portland as it's never been shot before by Aaron Katz and crew in "Cold Weather," the Joe Maggio-directed Tribeca selection "The Last Rites of Joe May" captures Chicago in a different light and then there's "Stuck Between Stations," the feature debut of Brady Kiernan, a Minneapolis native who, with cinematographer Bo Hakala, creates a portrait of the city that wouldn't seem out of place if it were framed in the Walker Art Center.
Ultimately, that's what separates Kiernan's film from the so many others that have been born in the wake of "Before Sunrise,...

Rkb Pictures Zoe Lister-Jones and Sam Rosen in “Stuck Between Stations.”
“Stuck Between Stations,” a low-budget indie that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last night, explores the relationship between Casper (Sam Rosen) and Becky (Zoe Lister-Jones), Minneapolis natives who went to high school together and haven’t seen each other in a decade. Casper is due to return to the army the following morning, giving them a set number of hours to see whether the new found friendship can blossom into anything more.

Josh Hartnett was one of the hottest young heartthrobs of the earliest aughts, starring in big studio films like Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. Recently, he’s retreated from the spotlight and has focused on quieter indie projects, and his supporting role in Stuck Between Stations, which will be screening this weekend at Tribeca, is no exception. The film follows Casper (Sam Rosen), a young soldier at home in Minneapolis on bereavement leave, who reconnects with his childhood crush Rebecca (Zoe Lister-Jones) over one memorable night. Hartnett plays Paddy, a neck-tattooed druggie who introduces the pair to an underground circus.

Director Brady Kiernan will premiere his debut feature film "Stuck Between Stations" at the festival and we've got the poster for the film that, with its mix of big names and up-and-comers, should be one to get some attention this weekend.

#42. Stuck Between Stations - Brady Kiernan Anyone who reads the site, certainly already knows about Brady Kiernan's Stuck Between Stations - a film that looks like a contemporary "Before Sunrise" set in Minneapolis and will likely breakout at one or both fests that cater to American Indie films. Supported by Ifp Filmmaker Labs, the film is a shoe-in for SXSW because of connections with actors Sam Rosen and Zoe Lister Jones (Breaking Upwards), but will count on Josh Hartnett's good standing in Park City to help with the in-roads. I'm not sure what the budget number was on Kiernan's low budget film, but it would be a good fit for somewhere between the Next and Dramatic Competition sections. Casper (Rosen), a soldier who experienced the horrors of war, fell in love with Rebecca (Jones), a once-promising grad student who just killed her career. Althought they have known each other since elementary school,...

#35. The Oranges - Julian Farino Positioned right after top vote getter The Beaver in the annual Black List (2008), Julian Farino's The Oranges should be another big ticket sales item in the Premieres category. Pic stars Leighton Meester, Hugh Laurie, Adam Brody, Catherine Keener, Alia Shawkat, Oliver Platt, Allison Janney, Tim Guinee and Sam Rosen. Written by Jay Reiss and Ian Helfer, the Ostroff and Walling families are best friends and neighbors, living across the street from each other on Orange Drive. Prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Meester) returns home for Thanksgiving dinner after a five-year absence, newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Rosen). Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Brody), which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David Walling (Laurie) that captures Nina’s attention. When the romantic attraction between Nina and David becomes too great to ignore,...
