The 6th annual Mono No Aware expanded cinema event is having a breakthrough year. For the first time, it is now officially taking place over two nights: Dec. 7-8 at LightSpace Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Each night is also completely free to attend.
Mono No Aware is always an absolutely unique event featuring live cinematic performances that are, for the most part, designed to take place one time only. If you don’t see these here, you won’t see them anywhere.
Each performance also features a celluloid element, either 16mm or Super 8mm, which is usually combined with some sort of live audio performance. However, there are also several film installation projects, such as Jodie Mack‘s ultra-cool zoetrope bike — a cinema that is entirely pedal-powered!
Filmmakers and performers from all over the country — and a few from overseas — will present their pieces for one night only, so make...

Poor Alice. Will her epic war with the undead and the corrupt Umbrella Corporation ever end?
We kind of hope not, 'cause that would mean no more "Resident Evil" movies. Alice (Milla Jovovich) returns in the fifth(!) chapter, "Resident Evil: Retribution," in theaters this Friday. Her journey has been long, hard and more complicated than you might imagine; as such, we thought a refresher course of sorts was in order before you check out her latest battle against the victims — and creators — of that damn T-virus.
So, join us through the many levels — er, installments — of the movie series based on Capcom's iconic survival horror video games.

A bad day at the offices (or labs, rather) of The Hive, the top-secret underground genetic research headquarters of the über-conglomerate, the Umbrella Corporation, turns into Judgment Day for the rest of us as the deadly experimental T-virus is unleashed,...

It looks like Work It just didn't work out for ABC. The cross-dressing comedy, which starred Amaury Nolasco and Benjamin Koldyke, was canned after just two episodes, following a bit of a firestorm from the lesbian and gay community (and low ratings to boot). So, what went down? The show centered around two unemployed men, Lee Standish (Koldyke) and Angel Ortiz (Nolasco), who dress up as women to land a job…and that did not sit well with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (Hrc) and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who found the content offensive to transgender people. After viewing the pilot for Work It, the org launched a campaign against the...

It looks like the cross-dressing guys of Work It are out of work again. ABC has cancelled the new sitcom, pulling it from the schedule after just two episodes.
Work It revolves around a pair of unemployed guys -- Lee Standish (Ben Koldyke) and Angel Ortiz (Amaury Nolasco) -- who get jobs at a pharmaceuticals company when they apply dressed as women. The cast also includes Beth Lacke, John Caparulo, Rebecca Mader, Rochelle Aytes, Kate Reinders, Kirstin Eggers, and Hannah Sullivan.
The first episode of Work It, attracted a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.16 million total viewers. When compared to the debut of already-canned Man Up!, ABC was down by 17% in the ratings.
This week's installment dropped like a rock, down 20% to a 1.6 in the demo with only 5.1 million.

Last week, ABC unveiled their first new sitcom of 2012, Work It. The TV series was pummeled by negative reviews from critics and viewers alike but were the ratings that bad? Will it be quickly cancelled or stick around long enough to be renewed for a second season?
Work It revolves around a pair of unemployed guys -- Lee Standish (Ben Koldyke) and Angel Ortiz (Amaury Nolasco) -- who believe that the economic downturn has affected men more than women. Lee gets a job at a pharmaceuticals company after applying dressed as a woman and Angel follows. The two must maintain their charade to keep their jobs and end up learning a little something about what it means to be female.
The cast also includes Beth Lacke, John Caparulo, Rebecca Mader, Rochelle Aytes, Kate Reinders, Kirstin Eggers, and Hannah Sullivan.

It's back! It's finally back! The tortorous event that is the TV winter hiatus is over and all of our favorites are returning to us over the next few weeks. Tagging along with them are a slew of new shows hoping to leave their mark on audiences. First up? ABC's Work It, a modern-day Bosom Buddies and Tootsie, starring Ben Koldyke and Amaury Nolasco. To say there's a bit of controversy surrounding the new comedy is a bit of an understatement, so we're curious to know what you thought... Unable to find jobs, Lee Standish (Koldyke) and his best friend Angel Ortiz (Nolasco) decide to dress as women in order to find employment. (See where the controversy comes in?) Yes, seeing the recession as...

From “needing some work” to “a drag in every way” television critics throughout North America have had quite a field day in writing about ABC’s cross dressing comedy Work It. And for good reason, it’s not a very good show.
Yet rather than simply pile on to the chorus of criticism that the internet has been heaping upon executive producers Ted Cohen and Andrew Reich (Who we can only hope for the sake of their sanity are sitting on a beautiful beach thousands of miles from the nearest Wi-Fi connection at this very moment) we thought — in the spirit of the New Year and all — we’d do something somewhat uncharacteristic of us: Focus on the positives.
Which is to say, if you can make it past the unbelievable premise that has unemployed friends Lee Standish (Big Love’s Ben Koldyke) and Angel Ortiz (Prison Break’s Amaury Nolasco...

Chicago – I try to approach every new series as a blank slate. However, it would be naive to say that things like pedigree and incessant advertising don’t have the same impact on me as they do you. I’m a fan of J.J. Abrams and so I look forward to his work more than, say, the team behind “According to Jim.” And the ads for ABC’s “Work It” sent a shiver down my spine like a high school teacher talking about a term paper that you knew you’d have to do eventually and would probably hate writing. Did it live up to my low expectations? Actually, no. It’s much, Much worse.
Television Rating: 1.0/5.0
Perhaps ABC slated “Work It” as the first new program of 2012 so no one would remember it by the time they were writing their Worst of the Year lists in eleven months. Because...

ABC has a slew of new shows coming, many of which need a lot of luck if they're going to last more than a handful of episodes. The schedule has been released, so let's take a lot at what's coming.
Oddly enough, as part of the new announcement, ABC has solidified the return of several more shows, including Happy Endings, despite the fact that two other networks have shows on their slate with cast members from the show. That should be interesting. Of course, it works for me, because I'm a fan.
In other news, Desperate Housewives will not die. Are you kidding me with this show still being on?
New Series - “Apartment 23,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Good Christian Belles,” “Last Man Standing,” “Man Up,” “Missing,” “Once Upon a Time,” “Pan Am,” “Revenge,” “The River,” “Scandal,” “Suburgatory” and “Work It” Join the Lineup

Earlier we shared ABC's primetime lineup, and now we have some clips from the new comedy series for you. The new comedies include Apartment 23, Suburgatory, Last Man Standing, Man Up, and Work It. So far I think Apartment 23 looks the best. Check out the clips below and let us know what shows you are liking the most.
Apartment 23
After a naive Midwestern girl's big city dreams are dashed her first week in New York, she finds herself living with her worst nightmare in this hilarious, contemporary comedy about a female odd couple who are surrounded by an outrageous cast of characters. June (Dreama Walker) moves to Manhattan for a dream job and the perfect company apartment, only to have them disappear in a puff of reality, thanks to a CEO from the Bernie Madoff school of embezzlement. Deep in debt and out on the streets, June scrambles to land a job and place to live.

What are two guys to do during the current "mancession"? Dress up as women to score jobs, of course!
ABC announced its 2011-2012 schedule on Tuesday, May 17, and the workplace comedy (with a twist!) "Work It" made the cut for midseason.
"Work It" stars Ben Koldyke as Lee Standish and Amaury Nolasco as Angel Ortiz, two alpha males who land jobs in pharmaceutical sales by passing themselves off as women. While this concept may seem a little offensive, Lee and Angel quickly learn there are fundamental differences in the worlds of men and women and ABC calls the show a "smart, funny and relevant look at male and female relationships at work, at home and socially." The tagline? "Being a better man sometimes means having to be a better woman." Seriously. We'll try to reserve judgment until we see the finished product.

NBC and Fox have both unleashed their Fall 2011-2012 TV schedule, now ABC has released theirs. I’m excited to see Castle, Modern Family, and The Middle back in the mix. Most of the new shows they have line-up don’t really interest me, but there are a few that have caught my eye. PanAm is another 1960’s based TV show that will go against AMC’s Mad Men and NBC’s The Playboy Club. There’s a show called Revenge that sounds really interesting, but the new series I’m most excited about is is the fantasy series Once Upon A Time, a show where fairy tales collide with the modern day.
Here is ABC’s full schedule along with a description of all of their shows. Go through them below and let us know what TV series you’re most excited about seeing.
