The Copenhagen Ring: The Complete DVD Set

American Teen

PaleyFest08 announced today that they’re hosting an X-Files retrospective with series creator Chris Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz on March 26. But if that doesn’t bust out your inner Mulder or Scully, then how’s this? Attendees will also get a sneak peek at The X-Files sequel planned for a summer release.

Although it might be "understood that Hollywood sells Californication", the boys who wear tube socks on their magic johnsons are headed to court to argue that you can't just steal it. Showtime has found itself on a little roll with "Weeds", "Dexter", and now the sexy/dickish David Duchovny series "Californication", but someone forgot to ask the Red Hot Chili Peppers if it was kosher to use their word for the show. The Hollywood Reporter's...

Third times a charm? After being married to Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, Pamela Anderson made it official with Paris Hilton's sloppy seconds, Rick Soloman at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas this weekend - Dlisted Although STILL no official announcement has been made, Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman registered for baby - People After a long Saturday of discussions with her family who were desperate to make this intervention successful, Britney Spears stormed...

So is anyone NOT buying Knocked Up this week? There's something like 5 different versions in Amazon's top 25 bestsellers right now. Wow. The TV Set is a great movie that about 400 people saw when it was in theaters. I had a near-private screening one afternoon at the Santa Monica Laemmle. Next is really only interesting if you're a Nicholas Cage hairpiece connoisseur (like myself). Evening has an incredibly raunchy nude scene with...

Damages is the prime time choice for me but check out late night TV: Bill Clinton, David Duchovny, Kirk Douglas, Gogol Bordello! 9:00pm Big Brother 8 CBS - The veto battles continue [look for Tony Pierce's commentary as this is a fave of his] 9:00pm i-Caught ABC - Consumers fight back with video, plus a profile of comic Tom Green's online talk show. 10:00pm Damages FX - Yeah baby! Damages is back after a...

Late night is pretty good tonight - will have to make some tough choices or be handy with the remote. 8:00pm Big Brother CBS - Who gets the boot? 8:30pm The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer TCM - The always dapper Cary Grant squares off against a frigid but hot Myrna Loy and avoids the attentions of a grown up and horny Shirley Temple - a classic. 10:00pm Mad Men AMC - This is the...

A Word or 157: It's all about the Prime Time tonight. The Office and 30 Rock have a real chance at getting some serious viewership since both Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy are simply rehash episodes (even though they are billed as 'New'). Tina Fey has been hitting everything from Good Morning America to Conan (and Baldwin made an appearance on Letterman last night) in an attempt to push 30 Rock more - it's...

Houstonist reports on cross-dressing thieves and undressing educators this week. A Peeping Tom defends himself with a papaya and an outraged onlooker asks Ken Lay, "TATER TOTS OR FRIES?" Also, FEMA wants it's money back.

One Hollywood star. One latenight talk show host. A sold-out audience full of rapt fans. And what was it all for? A book. Craig Ferguson's book, a novel called Between the Bridge and the River.

Duchovny's feature directorial and authorial debut is, unfortunately, blighted by the self-consciousness of a first-time director who doesn't seem to quite trust himself. The first third of the film is weighed down by an unecessary voice-over narration by Duchovny (who bookends the story playing the protagoinist, Tom Warshaw, in the present-day) delivered in an exceptionally flat and wooden tone. When the flashback settles in and we're taken back to New York's Greenwich Village, 1973, and introduced to the supposedly monumental life of Tom at "almost 13" the voice over doesn't go away, and its heavy-handedness left us wondering if Duchovny missed the key lecture in film-making called "It's always better to show and not tell." Mrs. Duchovny, aka Tea Leoni, takes a turn as Tom's troubled mother, showing us that she is adequately capable of playing just about the same kind of manic mother in every movie she's in. Could Duchovny not think of anyone else to play the role, or could he not lure someone else into his murky film? But he did manage to land Robin Williams, who plays the retarded (their words, not ours) school janitor and best pal to teen angst Tom. Nepotism wins again, as, wouldn't you know it, Tom's teen love interest, Melissa, is played by Williams' daughter Zelda, who is rather enchanting in the role.

Now we don't know what's real or fake in blogland. To wit, we've happened upon David Duchovny's blog, promoting his directorial debut, "The House of D."
