First Official Dark Shadows Pic Arrives

Meet the familyThey're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky... No, hang on... That's the Addams Family. This weird bunch is the gathered members and associated hangers-on of Barnabas Collins' (Johnny Depp) family in Dark Shadows. Take a gander at the first official shot of them gathered below. Likely released to combat the recent outburst after pap shots of Depp as Collins found their way online - and sparked complaints that he looked like Michael Jackson crossed with his own take on Wllly Wonka - this is the studio-approved first glimpse. According to Depp, it was partly his idea to get everyone together for the group snap: "I remember seeing a group photograph of the cast of the original series," he tells EW. "For me it captured the weird Dark Shadows vibe in a single image. I had a brief window of opportunity to have our cast present at the same time, the day before principle photography began. We decided to stage a similar picture instead of rehearsing, to see if we captured the Dark Shadows feeling. "Dark Shadows finds Depp as Collins, a man turned into a vampire in the 18th century, who has been buried for two centuries in a tomb and awakens in the 1970s to find a world much changed. He sets about finding his descendants and settling some scores. So let's go left to right, shall we? There's Helena Bonham Carter as Dr Julia Hoffman, Chloe Moretz as Carolyn Stoddard, Eva Green as Angelique Bouchard, Gulliver McGrath as David Collins, Bella Heathcote as Victoria Winters, Depp as Collins, Ray Shirley as housekeeper Mrs Johnson, Jackie Earle Haley as Willie Loomis, Johnny Lee Miller as Roger Collins and Michelle Pfeiffer as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. For a full breakdown of what everyone will be getting up to, head on over to Entertainment Weekly. With Tim Burton directing, Dark Shadows will creep into cinemas on May 11.

RATINGS RAT RACE: X Factor Premiere Falls Short, Revenge Off To Strong Start

UPDATE: The premiere of Simon Cowell’s The X Factor drew a modest (by mega talent competition series standards) 4.2 rating/12 share in adults 18-49 and 12.1 million viewers. That fell short not only of the January season premiere of American Idol (9.7/26, 21.6 million viewers in the fast nationals) but also the April debut of NBC’s The Voice (5.1/13, 11.8 million) in the demo. It also fell well short of Cowell’s publicly stated expectations of beating Idol and attracting 20 million viewers. In the 9 PM hour, X Factor was beaten by ABC’s Modern Family in both 18-49 and total viewers and CBS’ Criminal Minds in viewers. Still, by virtue of Fox’s long history of low fall ratings, X Factor delivered Fox its first premiere week Wednesday win in 18-49 in 18 years and its highest-rated Wednesday in 13 years. ABC (4.1/11, 11.4 million) had a great night against X Factor, with its returning series The Middle and Modern Family both growing from last fall and hitting demo series highs, and new drama Revenge launching well at 10 PM. The hourlong season premiere of The Middle (3.0/9) at 8 PM was up 11% from last September when the show’s season opener was a half-hour. At 9 PM, off its sweep at the Emmys, Modern Family (6.0/15, 14.3 million) opened its third season up 18% from the Season 2 premiere and ranked as the highest-rated program of the night in both the demo (by a wide margin) and total viewers. It also provided a strong lead-in for new soap Revenge (3.4/9, 10.1 million), which gave ABC its best debut in the Wednesday 10 PM time period in four years, outpacing last fall’s debut of The Whole Truth in the hour by 127% and topping the hour in 18-49. CBS’ Survivor: South Pacific (3.1/9, 10.4 million) was down 9% from its premiere last week, while Criminal Minds (4.1/10, 14.1 million) was up a fraction (3%) from last fall’s premiere. CSI (3.1/8, 12.6 million), with new leading man Ted Danson, did OK in its move to the Wednesday 10 PM slot, down a modest 9% from its higher-profile Thursday berth and winning the slot in total viewers. It improved the new time period, posting CBS’ best 18-49 and total viewer delivery in the hour with regular programming in 19 months — since a February 2010 episode of another CSI series, spinoff CSI: NY. CBS (3.5/9, 12.2 million) won the night in viewers. At 10 PM, CSI topped in the demo and viewers NBC’s veteran Law & Order: SVU (2.3/6, 7.6 million), which also is undergoing a leading-man switch this season, following the departure of Chris Meloni. SVU was down a steep 28% in 18-49 from its premiere last fall to log its lowest-rated season premiere ever. And this was not the worst news for NBC last night as SVU was actually the highest-rated NBC program for the night, tied with new comedy Up All Night (2.3/7, 6.1 million). The Christina Applegate-starrer was down 38% from its preview behind the America’s Got Talent finale last week but, given the competition and its lead-off 8 PM position, that was a solid delivery for a show in its second week. And since NBC struggled mightily in the 8 PM hour last season (Undercovers, anyone?), Up All Night actually posted NBC’s highest in-season numbers in the 8-8:30 PM slot since last December. But things look pretty bleak for fellow new NBC comedy Free Agents (1.3/4, 3.9 million), which lost almost half of its Up All Night lead-in and is inching ever closer to cancellation. Also disappointing was the second-season premiere of David E. Kelley’s Harry’s Law (1.2/3, 7.3 million), which hit a series low at 9 PM, down 38% in the demo from its January debut. PREVIOUS 7:30 AM: Despite Simon Cowell’s statements yesterday that he wants his The X Factor to beat American Idol (and every other show) in the ratings, that doesn’t seem to be be happening, at least not with the X Factor premiere last night. In the metered-market household ratings, Fox’s singing competition show drew an 8.8 household rating, compared to the 14.2 rating for the Idol season premiere last January. In head-to-head competition, the show was beaten by both ABC’s Modern Family (9.7) and CBS’ Criminal Minds (9.0). So X Factor appears to be closer to NBC’s The Voice than Idol ratings-wise, which has actually been more or less Fox’s projection (but not Cowell’s). CBS’ CSI did OK in its move to Wednesday, dominating the 10 PM hour with a 7.9 rating. More when the fast-national ratings are released in about an hour.

REVIEW: Lion King 3d Makes Refreshing Usage of Extra Dimension

The Disney Digital 3Dification in the Lion King due to its theatrical re-release, a small run made to herald the look of recent Blu-ray and three-D Blu-ray models as being a baboon waving an infant lion cub around near the top of a higher high cliff, has motivated one or more blogger to assert that it becomes an illustration showing the business “trying to ruin” her childhood. Despite the fact that early years are very fragile things online age, susceptible to explode while using littlest hint of reference to George Lucas’s latest doings or possibly a place Break remake or possibly a Monopoly movie, I suspect in this situation the outrage can be as manufactured since the curiosity about these animated classics that are always being jerked in to the Disney Vault being saved fresh for an additional generation of susceptible children in addition to their nostalgic parents. For almost all the youthful audience people getting their first connection with The Lion King, any theatrical experience, 3-D or else, will most likely be dwarfed by repeated home viewings on Televisions and much more compact screens, again and again before very cadences in the lines are etched permanently for their grey matter (“When he will be a youthful warthog—” “When I used to be a young warthooooooooog!”). Anyway, The Lion King’s latest version just like a 3-D experience doesn’t downgrade the help of watching it. After-the-fact 3-D conversions of live action films are really, to put it gently, a mixed bag, sometimes adding simply a few dollars for the ticket cost and frequently, just like the problem of Clash in the Leaders, developing a lousy film worse. The Lion King’s traditional cel animation (with periodic cartoon assists, just like the succession in which the herd of wildebeests stampedes using the gorge, nearly killing the film’s youthful protagonist) really discloses well, if inconsistently, to 3-D. Broad landscapes like the ones displayed inside the “Circle of Existence” opening supply the best options for use of depth of area, and shots like the among a flock of untamed wild birds flying over reflective waters include an additional lushness on their behalf. You will discover perspectives that appear almost produced using eventual 3-D in your thoughts — bugs moving forward the branch before what’s revealed with a general change in focus to become quantity of zebras traveling past, tigers lumbering toward the digital camera inside the crest from the hill, Zazu the hornbill swooping inside the gathering animals around Pride Rock. But people are sequences of spectacle, that 3-D is ideal. In less fancy moments, the end result offers the film a less impressive while not certainly not problematic pop-up picture book quality, the flatness in the animated figures progressively apparent. It’s really simply with the higher stylized pictures that's incorporated having a couple of from the tunes the three-D becomes a distraction, the geometric, kinetic look becoming dizzying inside the added dimension — the goosestepping hyenas in “Be Prepared,” the zoologic choreography of “I Just Can’t Wait Being King.” Typically, in 3-D offers a minor refresh for any kind of animation that was the big-screen norm 17 in the past, which doesn’t appear dated nowadays a great deal as simply different. Coming back towards the Lion King about the large screen, what’s apparent happens when it’s unabashedly a film for children — which’s no critique. There’s a smaller amount of the contemporary frantic quality born from nervous about losing the short attention spanned or perhaps the periodic over-the-kids-heads popular culture reference asides for the benefit of bored grownups inside the room. There’s not the sense you'll be able to sometimes get from Pixar features, as incredible since most of choices are, it’s grown-ups the designers really been in mind the whole time. The Lion King isn’t modified in the mythic the means by which many Disney films were, however it's got the easy moral arc of just one, the exiled princeling maturing and growing into his responsibilities, the dominion physically decaying as well as the atmosphere from whack due to his adding. (It could couch it if this involves cycles of character and balance, nevertheless the Lion King is one of the divine from the monarchy.) Furthermore, it shows a tale book’s dark sense of justice — slightly girl within my screening wailed when Scar was eaten by his hyena allies after betraying them, a development that is probably not on componen while using incinerator in Toy Story 3, but qualifies to become a the least slightly upsetting. It's, basically, still galaxies a lot better than the normal current kiddie flick, animated or live action, and none the worse for your 3-D tweak. I doubt anybody will have a way towards the same in regards to the forthcoming Top Gun 3-D conversion.

About That Time Paul Rudd Met President Obama

And Obama says, ‘Oh, so you’re playing a congressman.’ And I was like, ‘No, actually I work for my dad in this corporation.’ I’m trying to explain, and Obama interrupts me and says, ‘It was a joke.’ I just felt so stupid. Of course it was a joke, and it’s actually a pretty good one. I’m normally pretty good at catching them. If you’re not the fucking President of the United States, I can usually identify when you’re joking.” Now you know. [Playboy]

Megan Fox on Shia LaBeouf, Her Public Image and Beginning Over And Done With 'Friends With Kids'

"I really like Shia to dying," stated Megan Fox to Moviefone in Toronto over the past weekend. "I really like him without any reason." Individuals don't seem such as the words of somebody who has been "hit hard," as Fox stated, through the principal gamers connected with 'Transformers: Dark from the Moon' -- the summer time blockbuster that very notoriously did not feature the first kind franchise co-star. While Shia LaBeouf and Michael Bay stacked on throughout the press models for 'Transformers,' Fox continued to be quiet. That's going to change. In ways, Megan Fox is attempting to begin again, and her role within the new indie ensemble comedy 'Friends With Kids' -- which opened in the Toronto Worldwide Film Festival -- is definitely an interesting choice. Fox is comfortable with her image like a pin-up girl -- she describes her very own public image as "a robot" -- and it is media savvy enough to understand that that image has not been a hindrance. Moviefone spoke to some candid and engaging Fox in Toronto about 'Friends With Kids' (she plays Mary Jane, Adam Scott's more youthful girlfriend within the new comedy), her public image, the beating she's drawn in the press, and why she did not defend herself. And, yes, she revealed if she's seen 'Transformers: Dark from the Moon.' Moviefone: I literally just left of 'Friends With Kids.' I've not had whenever to create questions and that i can't even read my notes. Megan Fox: They are really sloppy. You've very sloppy handwriting. That's suggestive of something. Like, what's this word? "Pun"? An amount that even mean? Why would I write lower "pun"? I am unsure. Anyway ... we'll observe how it goes. That's just like a psychological emphasis of whenever you publish just random words -- free write. Then you definitely see clearly and you are like, "Wow, what's wrong beside me?Inch I loved your movie. Thanks. Guess what happens I loved about this? Your character isn't a jerk. That's true. She's not really a jerk. I am talking about, she's not super-sweet, either, but she's not really a jerk or perhaps an assh*le. That wouldn't match Adam's character. They simply wouldn't seem sensible. Was that essential for you? I am talking about, I never once thought, Why would he be together with her? She's mean. Yes, which was the concept. We did not want Mary Jane to become mean. I have never really performed an average character -- well, besides Jennifer in 'Jennifer's Body,' who hates males. But, yeah, clearly Adam is really fun to look at and he's so pleasant, you wouldn't like to determine Adam with somebody that is mean to him for any second. You'd hate that individual because he's so wonderful. Therefore it is just more that they was there at two different points within their existence. Searching at the career, Personally i think this can be a excellent role for you personally. Allow me to preface that by stating that I've no clue what I am speaking about. Individuals have stated that before. I recieve what you are saying -- I believe I recieve what you are saying. This role appears to ... Makes me appear human? I wouldn't place it this way. But following the kerfuffles of history, you're playing an ordinary part of this included in an ensemble. Does which make sense? Yes. Was that the plan? I usually wish to take part in ensembles. Besides it feeling safer, I believe it is a more enjoyable atmosphere to operate in. To possess a couple of people working together on something, it requires pressure from every individual. Apart from Jen, clearly who authored and directed and it is starring inside it. She needed to carry the responsibility on her behalf shoulders. However I think these films have switched to function as the most enjoyable to operate on ... for me personally. It's interesting that you simply stated "feel more human." Explain that. This is the reviews I required from my group of friends. That's the way they phrase it. I simply think the concept is the fact that because the majority of the method in which individuals have seen me, it is the glorified pin-up girl with motorcycle boots who's also fighting in order to save the planet. It isn't always somebody that you interact with because they are a fantasy people always who exist like this -- the glossy lips in the center of the desert. In 'Jennifer's Body' I had been this crazy -- it's this excellent Diablo Cody script, but it is so kooky and thus strange and that i was eating people. It is simply an extremely strange movie. You do not always begin to see the human side of whomever is playing that individual. And That I imagine the media, generally, I simply don't really get described as somebody who has feelings or who's supportive. Or I kind of am described because this -- Personally i think -- just like a self-absorbed ice full. Maybe. And i believe those who see me inside a role that enables me to become more human -- I'm not sure another word to make use of to explain it -- is the reason why individuals are saying it is a good proceed to did. It is also interesting that you simply stated that you simply think individuals don't think you've feelings. But that whole image, is the fact that a help or perhaps a hindrance for you personally? It's both, sometimes. I am talking about, sometimes I seem like it is a help since pretend that you simply have this shield who are around you whatsoever occasions. Typically I am really strong with just how much bullsh*t I'd stacked upon me for such a long time. But, you realize, I worry about people. I worry about my existence and that i love people. I am not this robot. Personally i think people think I am similar to a robot -- as an android. Which I am about me and my ideas are only for me. That I wish to be famous. I understand one factor I have heard a great deal is, "Does she say things that she states because she would like attention? It's attention-seeking." However I always felt like, in the event that were the situation, wouldn't I display some kind of attention-seeking behavior, which I have never done. I have always attempted to reside a very normal, private, quiet existence. And So I imagine I have always really permitted room for that media to kind of chop my words and set their very own narrative onto it and make this salacious seem bite that goes everywhere. And due to which i seem like people simply have no clue what I am like or who I'm. I seem like it is a mystery. That is OK. Is the fact that a real bad factor? Maybe it's a positive thing. But clearly you will find occasions whenever you have a problem with it because being misinterpreted 90 % of times is tough because you need to clarify. However, you cope with it. Using the recent Shia Labeouf interview and also the 'Transformers' situation, why did not you clarify or defend yourself? I did not wish to discuss it while they are about the press tour because I did not would like to try to throw dirt their way. I did not want that movie to suffer. Especially because I really like Shia. I needed that movie to complete well for him. I did not wish to have this large media war over something which actually was so silly also it would are just my ego requiring to take part in a war, at that time. Obviously, you will see a period when I wish to tell my side from the story. I simply don't feel it had been appropriate when they were marketing the film. Are you currently stating that would be a no-win situation? Right. Like, "She's attempting to take from the movie." Therefore it was better to allow them to say the things they would say. It's fine. With everything else that happened using the 'Transformers 3' situation along with you ... Using what you read within the press. Well, yes. And That I get the reason why you would not be happy, but simultaneously I'd type of need to know the way the story, the film itself, finishes. Have you see 'Transformers: Dark from the Moon'? I've not seen it yet, however i might find it. I am talking about, when they had not been striking me so difficult about the press tour, I'd have attended the theater. However I felt like this will be a disaster: Me sitting having a packed theater of individuals watching the film. And So I did not go. I am talking about, I've nothing against watching it. And That I love Shia to dying I really like him without any reason. And That I love that crew. I am really near to the hair, makeup and wardrobe that made that movie. I wish to view it on their behalf. Yes, it looked amazing within the trailer. In the three trailers, which was a clip which i was like, "Wow, sh*t, this can be a huge movie." So It is going to be a fascinating, fun factor to look at, I simply haven't become around into it yet. I am visualizing your blog head lines, "Megan Fox Watches 'Transformers'!" I could not get it done. Then that will become not only me attempting to begin to see the movie, that could have been like, "She's attempting to take attention in the movie when you are in the theater when it is launched." It is a lose-lose. So I'll just watch it on Netflix home. You raised a good thing earlier concerning the fact that, apart from your interviews, you've remained from the spotlight. How come you believe it's sensationalized? So why do they sensationalize my comments? No, so why do they sensationalize your existence? [Sighs] This is a question I sit and that i ponder frequently. And journalists sit beside me and I am always such as this with whoever I speak with. That's kind of probably the most ... such as the sense of unfaithfulness -- you have like a celebrity or perhaps an actor or performer -- I believe originates from ending up in journalists and feeling like, Hey, I'd a great conversation along with you, then you definitely browse the article and it is like, Wow! Well, that isn't the position which i thought you would take. You have to sell this magazine, I realize, but, sh*t, I simply did not understand it would use that direction. So you need to become a bit jaded with press for the reason that sense. You need to just guard yourself, because who knows what individuals are likely to do. Like I stated, I previously had an enjoyable experience in interviews -- I'd be playful, I'd be sarcastic. There is however an excessive amount of room for somebody to consider things i was saying and work up, arrange it, and throw it on 'Extra.' It's insane. You need to be really strong. You need to just shut yourself on the critique sooner or later. So people keep attempting to beat me lower. I figured about this yesterday, which i seem like individuals have attempted so difficult to interrupt me ... and that i will not break. So that they just keep trying. Same with 'Friends With Kids' a calculated move? So individuals will stop considering you in by doing this? I certainly think it will help with doing other comedies. I am talking about, from dealing with Jen [Westfeldt] and Jon [Hamm] and everybody involved, Judd [Apatow] known as these phones request, "Hey, that which was she like on set? How could it have been? How was the knowledge?Inch Simply because they were built with a good knowledge about me, that triggered Judd to wish to place me in the movie. Therefore it is opened up doorways this way. I really like focusing on comedy film sets. They've been the prettiest encounters plus they are nice, kind, fun people. Therefore it is a genre I love to maintain. And also you finished filming 'The Dictator.' It's done. And it will likely be funny. I am talking about, I am not to imply my stuff, however the movie. And Sacha is excellent inside it. Same with this your future -- comedies? [Laughs] We'll see. You are able to contact Mike Ryan on Twitter. Follow Moviefone on Twitter. Photo: Getty Images

Hellraiser Remake Back-Burnered Again

Lussier & Player come from the projectThe extended-gestating remake of Clive Barker's demonic Hellraiser is constantly suffer consequently from the Dimension cenobites. Apparently full steam ahead with creative team Patrick Lussier and Todd Player within the helm (Drive Angry, My Bloody Valentine), the pair have just states their Hellraiser vision is becoming unlikely to look for the sunshine of following day of. The tortured project dates back low of 2007, when Inside company company directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury were installed on direct a script by Saw follow-up authors Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. Then Bustillo and Maury lost, and Martyrs mentalist Pascal Laugier reaches. Then when Laugier too playing the turning door, there's a brief dalliance while using Roommate's Christian E Christiansen. The film made an appearance to attain some traction while using arrival of Lussier and Player, who introduced their unique script and several firm assurances that whispers of teenybopper-friendly PG-13ness were misguided. That's apparently now changed again, utilizing their violent vision apparently progressively creatively at odds in what Dimension think they require. We developed several versions for Dimension, but ultimately we never saw eye to eye, states Lussier. The current story is extremely different then the story we pitched. It's changed considerably since we started, and will also probably change really in history throughout. Initially whatever they wanted was epic and dark, rated R. It absolutely was inside our contract. So.... once we do Hellraiser, it's rated R if they wish to do PG-13 then they have to eliminate us. The studio have consitently scratched their heads in what really makes Hellraiser tick, nevertheless the lamentable recent DTV (virtually) follow-up Hellraiser: Details has no less than staved in the lapsing in the rights, and clearly bought time for additional rethinking. Whether that musing brings Hellraiser to restarted fruition having a completely new team, and whether it will likely be along Barker's demented supernatural S&M lines, remains to look. Shock have acquired some cenobite designs for your abandoned project, so mind there to check out that which you will certainly not easily be getting. We'll be interested to comprehend whether Hellraiser's stalling is going to be delivering Lussier and Player to Halloween 3d, which was shunted aside towards Drive Angry. The next instalment of Haddonfield slashings presently features a release date of October 26 next season, but no creative team that anybody yet understands....

Sarah Palin -- You Betcha!

A Freestyle Delivering (in U.S.) discharge of a Funnel 4 presentation in colaboration with Awakening Films of the Marc Hoeferlin production. (Worldwide sales: Content Media Corp. Intl., Santa Monica.) Created by Hoeferlin. Executive producer, Shani Hinton. Directed by Nick Broomfield, Joan Churchill.With: Nick Broomfield, John Bitney, Colleen Cottle, Wally Moneghan, Mike Wooten, Chuck Heath, Sally Heath, Lyda Eco-friendly, Howard Bess, Laura Chase, Sarah Palin.A sarcastically well developed, smartly timed character murder, comic documaker Nick Broomfield's "Sarah Palin -- You Betcha!" spades enough grime about the Tea Party leader and self-referred to hockey mother to fulfill her haters, but lacks sufficient humor and insight to really make it essential-see for anybody outdoors the Brit muckraker's group of followers. Facts remain totally on the amount of an questioned Alaskan blogger's pseudo-scoop that the allegedly depressed Palin soothed the discomfort of losing the 2008 vice presidential race by watching wedding shows in mattress while scarfing lower fast-food tacos. The Freestyle Delivering pickup will not outgross its politically counterpart, "The Undefeated." Failing, possibly purposely, to land a job interview using the press-shy Palin herself, Broomfield (who co-directed the pic with longtime collaborator Joan Churchill) makes do having a bevy of quirkily incensed folks in the subject's home town of Wasilla, delivering another implicit critique of approved celebrity docus that surrender their newspaper cred upon acquiring the celeb's participation. This is actually the filmmaker's key subject, best investigated twelve-odd years back within the appropriately grubby "Kurt and Courtney." But "You Betcha!" indicates the topic is putting on thin, together with Broomfield's trademark haughty narration and "Who, me?" on-camera attitude. Improbably fitted inside a plaid flannel jacket and wacky winter hat, Broomfield braves Wasilla's snow and ice looking for the actual story from the "most popular governor from the very coldest condition," or at best a couple of cheap jokes. Whenever a local tour guide discloses Palin's childhood house is now a thrift store, the kind of that the former beauty full still visits occasionally, Broomfield quips, "I figured she looked at Barney's." Essentially shooting seafood inside a barrel, Broomfield starts by finding Palin's father, Chuck Heath, an old science teacher and current lover of deer antlers. Heath cordially grants or loans a ho-hum interview with the cooking of his house but soon turns cold, inspiring the investigative journalist to purchase some antlers from Heath hoping of thawing the ice. Subsequent speaking heads flesh the docu's rash sketch of Palin like a sociopathic, dim-witted and callous careerist who, Broomfield argues, frequently is based on public and try to activates individuals nearest to her. A Wasilla pastor labels the home town girl an "apocalyptic" Christian who wouldn't hesitate to produce a nuclear fight against evil. An opportunistic agent repping Palin's put-upon ex-boy-in-law promises tasty dish on "drugs and stuff," but balks at Broomfield's offer of 500 clams. Most indicting of, possibly, is really a childhood friend's myth-cracking observation that Palin, nicknamed "Barracuda" on her basketball-shooting prowess, really was much more of a dribbler. Clearly, the occasionally amusing pic is supposed to intervene in Palin's presumed presidential bid, leaning on charges of anti-intellectualism and homophobia that may be learned from the general read of Palin's own best-selling tell-all, "Going Rogue." Bumrushed by Broomfield at a set of book signings, Palin solutions the documentarian's interview request having a chirpy "I betcha I possibly could do this!Inch However the sitdown never involves pass, permitting Broomfield to feign outrage and justify an element-length type of retaliation that provides him more that is similar to his allegedly vengeful subject than he might choose to admit. Besides its bevy of pixilated YouTube clips and decades-old local news reviews acquired from VHS, all evincing Palin's lack of knowledge on some level or any other, "You Betcha!" includes Kilifax's snotty tune "Sarah Palin" and finishes using the legendary audio clip from the pol getting phone-pranked with a guy absurdly impersonating Nicolas Sarkozy. A smallscreen thriller-style musical score pumps in the amount of Broomfield's ridicule to mildly enjoyable effect. Other tech credits are unremarkable but sufficient.Camera (color, DV), Churchill editor, Michael X. Flores music, Jamie Muhoberac seem, Broomfield supervisory seem editor, Joe Milner re-recording mixer, Milner connect producer, Sarah Reid. Examined at Toronto Film Festival (Real to Reel), Sept. 9, 2011. Running time: 92 MIN. Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com

4 Reasons Why Eddie Murphy May Be Perfect for the Oscars

It's official. As first reported by Deadline and confirmed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Eddie Murphy will host the 84th annual Academy Awards. Assuming he doesn't change his mind in the six months between now and the telecast - let's be honest, stranger things have happened - Murphy will be the latest star tasked with "saving the Oscars." Can he do it? Possibly! Here are four reasons why. 1. He's not edgy "I've lost a lot of my cool and edge, I think," Murphy told Vulture last year while on the stump for 'Shrek Forever After.' "I don't know. I think my cool and edge are gone." Translation: he's perfect for the Oscars, a place where "edge" extends to James Franco checking his iPhone for texts onstage. With a recent resume cluttered with family-friendly successes like 'Shrek' (and family-friendly disasters like 'Meet Dave'), Murphy is very far removed from the filthy, leather jacket-wearing motormouth he was during 'Delirious' and 'Raw'. That's a good thing when dealing with an institution like the Oscars. Edgy simply doesn't work. (See: Chris Rock, David Letterman.) 2. He's got a lot to lose! Even before being anointed the next Oscar host, the upcoming six months were poised as make-or-break for Murphy. In November, he's co-starring opposite Ben Stiller in 'Tower Heist,' Murphy's first chance at non-animated/non-fat-suit box office success since 'Dreamgirls' in 2006; in January, he'll lead in 'A Thousand Words,' a high-concept dramedy about a man who finds out he only has 1,000 words to speak before he dies. (Hence the title.) Now toss in the Oscars at the end of February, and you've got the recipe for a major Hollywood comeback. If Murphy nails the Academy Awards gig, he can set himself up for the next five years; if he fails, he'll be lucky to find another 'Norbit.' 3. He's a home run hitter! Assuming Murphy is still funny - i.e., his sullen off-screen nature and lack of recent stand-up experience hasn't caused his 'Raw' and 'Delirious' skills to atrophy beyond repair - he's capable of absolutely wowing audiences. With James Franco and Anne Hathaway, the feeling before the Oscars telecast was "Hopefully they can do it!" With Murphy, it will be "Can he be the funniest Oscars host ever?" Make no mistake, the potential of him reaching that lofty hyperbole exists. Whether or not Murphy can succeed will be part of the fun in watching. 4. He's not James Franco! Seriously.
