Sally Kellerman, who was Oscar nominated for her supporting role as Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in Robert Altman’s “Mash” feature film, died Thursday in Woodland Hills, Calif. She was 84.
Her publicist Alan Eichler confirmed her death, and her daughter Claire added that she had been suffering from dementia for the past five years.
Among her other roles were a cameo in Altman’s “The Player,” a professor in Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School” and a Starfleet officer in the “Star Trek” episode “Where No Man Has Gone Before.”
The willowy blonde actress with the characteristically throaty voice appeared in two Altman films in 1970; the other was the more experimental “Brewster McCloud,” in which she starred with Bud Cort and Michael Murphy. In this film, which did not have a conventional narrative, Kellerman played Louise, the mother of Cort’s bewinged character, Brewster.
She next starred opposite Alan Arkin...

After a disappointing first half to Castle season 8, things are looking up. Could Castle finally be getting its old groove back?
This review contains spoilers.
8.10 Witness For The Prosecution & 8.11 Dead Red
Last week, we Castle diehards finally caught a real break. Not only did we get back-to-back episodes, but the episodes we got were largely what we love about the show: a good mystery, a little spice, and most importantly, the gang together and firing on all cylinders… even when they don’t.
The “when they don’t” come in early in Witness For The Prosecution when we find out that Rick witnessed a murder a few months before and is set to testify as the one eyewitness in what seems a slamdunk case. It’s the morning of, and Beckett is in her familiar role of trying to rein Castle in, explaining to him that his...

If it were up to us, "Project Runway" would never be "out," it would just play on a loop 24/7/365.
Sadly, Season 14 will say auf wiedersehen on Thursday, November 5th, so now seems like a good time to take stock and rank the previous 13 seasons, with the expectation that the 2015 season will probably fall somewhere in the middle of the pack once it's done. (Tim Gunn "hated" Season 14, but there have been worse.) Every season of PR is a precious, unique little rhinestone, but, like the judges, we have our favorites -- and now it's Our turn to be biased.
So here's our very subjective but still definitive worst-to-best ranking, which may only be challenged by a glare from Nina Garcia, an eye roll from Michael Kors, a "make it work" from Tim Gunn, or an "out" from Heidi Klum.
13. Season 11 (aka 'Teams')Maybe it seemed like a good, or at least dramatic,...

Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really the worst Indiana Jones movie out there? We dive into the beloved franchise to see and make the argument that Temple of Doom is as bad—or worse—than Crystal Skull is.
Ever since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls came out 7 years ago, it’s gotten the (much deserved) reputation as an absolute atrocity and a desecration to the reputation of a much-loved franchise. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls has been commonly divorced from the original trilogy as a separate and inferior entity. Most fans lump the earlier trio into one group, praising them all as masterpieces, unlike the disastrous 2008 sequel. However, that may not be the whole truth. The second film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was also a mess of a film with plenty of flaws, silly scenes, tonal problems, rip-off moments and bad characters.

Sunday, they say, is the "Lord's day." But perhaps Philip and Elizabeth should have taken a page out of "Clark" and Martha's marriage playbook and opted for a "lazy morning" instead of going to church mere hours after infiltrating a contra training camp. Elizabeth, as cold-blooded and atheistic as ever, scoffs at the longhaired pastor's proclamations of God's love. Philip, on the other hand, is still reeling over the latest batch of innocent lives claimed during the raid. He may not have been raised to believe in hell, but he's...

There’s one name that almost always gets a smile from nostalgic fans of TV cartoons: Jay Ward. After all, he helped to produce one of the earliest cartoon shows during television’s infancy, “Crusader Rabbit”. But it wasn’t until 1959 that Ward unleashed his masterpiece, “Rocky and His Friends”. Each half hours usually contained two short chapters of an ongoing adventure serial starring Rocky the Flying Squirrel and his dimwitted pal Bullwinkle the moose. And in between these installments were classic features often funnier than the show’s title stars. There was the satiric “Fractured Fairy Tales”, the campy “Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties”, the fables of “Aesop & Son”, and “Peabody’s Improbable History” in which the super-genius talking dog Mr. Peabody and his boy, the excitable seven year-old human named Sherman journeyed back through the years via Mr. P’s time travel invention the Wabac machine. After meeting some historical figure,...

This weekend's "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," a feature-length, 3D animated film from DreamWorks Animation, is already notable in the sense that it's the first film based on characters from the classic series "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show" that doesn't look like it's going to be a huge financial disaster.
The spritely story of time traveling dog Mr. Peabody (this time voiced by Ty Burrell) and his "pet" human Sherman (Max Charles) is adapted from the "Peabody's Improbable History" segments of "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show," and was directed by Rob Minkoff (it's his first animated feature since a movie we've never heard of called "The Lion King").
With "Frozen" finally exiting theaters and "The Lego Movie" losing some of its staying power, it looks like "Mr. Peabody and Sherman," a brightly colored, lively movie that will probably rake in some big box office. The premise is appealing and a number of parents...

The last time someone tried to bring Jay Ward's cult cartoon characters Rocky and Bullwinkle to the screen, the result was the less-than-successful 2000 flopbuster, which all involved – particularly Robert De Niro – would probably rather forget. DreamWorks Animation will be hoping for better luck with an animated short film aimed for release sometime next year.Featuring the original voice of Rocket “Rocky” J. Squirrel, June Foray, and SpongeBob’s Tom Kenny as moose pal Bullwinkle, the new short is most likely tied to the release of DreamWorks’ Mr. Peabody And Sherman, which utilises the moose and the squirrel’s cartoon stable mates (see the latest trailer below).No information has been released about the plot, but it'll probably see our heroes going up against villains such as Cold War troublemakers Boris and Natasha. We do, however, know that Beauty And The Beast’s Gary Trousdale will direct from a script...

Next year, DreamWorks Animation is bringing the short cartoon Mr. Peabody & Sherman to the big screen in a feature length animated film. The shorts were originally part of "The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show," and now the squirrel and moose duo are also getting revived. The animation studio has just announced creation of a new short that will bring back Rocky & Bullwinkle along with their adversaries Boris and Natasha. June Foray will return as the iconic voice of Rocket J. Squirrel and "Spongebob Squarepants" himself, Tom Kenny, will provide the voice of Bullwinkle J. Moose in the animated short arriving in 2014. However, we're not sure if this short will play exclusively in front of Mr. Peabody & Sherman or if it might accompany other family friendly films in order to promote the release of the DreamWorks Animation film on March 7th, 2014. The press release does say some other familiar faces will show up in the short,...

A whistle blows. We pan out to see the beautiful, cactus-flecked Southwestern landscape, and follow that with Pov shots from a train winding through a canyon, its wheels sweeping miles of sage brush. The camera swoops below the tracks to reveal Walt, Jesse, and Todd huddling together, tensely waiting to boost large quantities of methylamine from the locomotive above — “like soldiers in World War I in the trenches, only holding hoses,” laughs Breaking Bad’s George Mastras, who wrote and directed "Dead Freight," the Breaking Bad episode in question. Speaking to Vulture, even Mastras agrees that, on paper, Walt’s plan to rob a train sounds as absurd as a comical scheme cooked up by Boris and Natasha (and even more complicated than Operation Magnets): The gang's mission is to stop a freight train as it is passing through an area where communications don't work by creating a distraction...

"Yay! Teamwork!"
After last week's decision not to Auf a designer (which was totally legit, Btw), we get back to normal, with a team challenge. Yes, that's right, even though there are nine designers, they still have a team challenge ... by separating them into groups of three. Damn easily divisible numbers.
But first ... let's go back to the beginning, as Gunnar still can't believe he's around.. Christopher can't believe it, either. He is furious that "no one" (meaning Gunnar) was eliminated. "The judges pick this challenge to keep everyone, and this is what they keep?"
Over at Parsons, Tim is standing guard at what looks like an arts & crafts table, which immediately elicits groans from the designers, especially life-of-the-party Elena, who says, "I don't like sparkles, I don't like glitter, I don't like any of that sh*t." You know, it might save a hell of a lot of time...

Dmitry was none too pleased this week on "Project Runway" when the remaining nine finalists were split into random groups of three. He wound up with Elena and Alicia. The former, he came up with a new lineage for witches when describing.
"To kill the witch, we need a silver bullet and a wooden stake," Dmitry said after arguing with her over making their design more "sportsy." In other words, witches are the product of a vampire and a werewolf, and thus need both to be killed? It's certainly an interesting take on the stories.
Christopher was enjoying the pair arguing in the workroom. "They’re like Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle," he laughed.
On the runway, only the team of Christopher, Gunnar and Sonja came out with winning designs. This led to more arguing between Dmitry and Elena, this time in front of the judges. But neither...

"I want perfection. There's times you get close enough, and I am not really happy with that. It's nice when that's all [directors] need is 'good enough,' but I want perfect." That quote is from Jeremy Fry, the stunt driver/double for Ryan Gosling on last year's pulp-y action flick "Drive." Fry is just one of the many Hollywood stuntmen who put their life on the line every day in order to bring a sense of realness and danger to a movie. Unfortunately, when it comes to filming a choreographed explosion or chase scene, things don't always go according to plan. Sometimes that works out to their benefit (when Fry spoke with Moviefone last year, he described a scene in "Drive" where a car was supposed to flip over, but didn't. Luckily, the mess-up looked cool on camera, so director Nicolas Winding Refn decided to leave in). Other times, botched...

If we’re to believe today’s big news, then Bill Murray may very well be sitting at home at this very moment in front of a fireplace with a cup of Swiss Miss and the script for Ghostbusters 3. That’s a pretty exciting thought…for about five minutes. Then the inevitable concerns arise — concerns like, is this really a good idea? Do we really want to check back in with Dr. Venkman, Dr. Stantz, and Egon after all these years? What if they’re…well, what if they’re not funny anymore? Wouldn’t it be better if...

Normally, you expect limited release December films to be stuffy awards bait, but Peter Weir is determined to change that. Ok, yes, the trailer for The Way Back -- Weir's prison escape epic hitting theaters in Los Angeles on Dec. 29 before going wide in January -- hails the film as being "From Six Time Academy Award Nominee Peter Weir," but that doesn't mean you'll need to bring a pillow. A tolerance for Boris and Natasha-like Russian accents, maybe. But, no pillow. Seriously, check out those wolves!

From Facebook to facial recognition, the police state imagined in the Tom Cruise flick feels a bit more real every day.
Steven Spielberg's Minority Report wowed audiences with its futuristic tech: flashy hand-gesture computers, flex-screen displays, holograms, and Lexus-designed auto-piloted vehicles. The sci-fi flick also showed the world a dystopian, draconian picture of a crime-free society: "precogs" predicting murders, eye-scanners dotting the streets and subways, a jet-pack-toting police force, and a public seemingly deprived of any right to privacy. Spielberg envisioned this for 2054, but advances in technology are bringing that future sooner and sooner. Here's a look at some of our own sci-fi crime fighting tools.
1. Blue Crush Ibm's new Blue Crime Reduction Utilizing Statistical History (Crush) programs feels almost directly inspired by Minority Report. Similar to the "precogs," Ibm's new system uses "predictive analytics," mining years and years of incident reports and law enforcement data to "forecast criminal 'hot spots.

It was exactly 50 years ago today that a little show called Rocky and His Friends debuted on ABC, bringing an animated crew of kooky characters — led by the naive Rocky and Bullwinkle and constantly scheming Natasha and Boris — into the American pop culture menagerie. The genius of Rocky & Bullwinkle, which was so simple in its clever madness, could be easily overlooked, if you wanted. But how many animated series are out there — especially today — that are so sweet and completely watchable? Sure, today on television I delight in the demented social commentary of South Park and the biting hilarity of The Simpsons.
