In 2010, the sitcom Better Off Ted aired its final episode after just two seasons. The show was praised by critics but failed to find an audience, and was eventually canceled. Better Off Ted was created by Victor Fresco and starred Jay Harrington, Portia de Rossi, Andrea Anders, Isabella Acres, and Jonathan Slavin. The show tells the story of Ted Crisp, the head of research and development at the fictional Veridian Dynamics corporation. With one critic naming the show one of the best comedies of 2010, Better Off Ted was a show canceled too soon. Not to worry about its

Sally Field plays Doris Miller, a 60-something accountant with a Walter Mitty-like imagination who becomes fixated on a younger new co-worker John Fremont (Max Greenfield), in Hello, My Name Is Doris. The comedy from director/co-writer Michael Showalter (“The Baxter”) has plenty of indie film quirkiness but what makes the film work is Field’s performance as Doris, a character who in lesser hands could have gone so very wrong.
Doris is a data entry worker in accounting working at a hipster fashion magazine who is suddenly smitten when she meets a handsome young new co-worker named John Fremont, a nice Midwestern who is new to the city. But Doris is no sexy cougar; she is an oddball character that would have been out of his league even if she were 20 years younger.

Mary Alice: "Susan Delfino and Carlos Solis had never been the best of friends...Susan thought Carlos paid too much attention to other people's opinions, Carlos thought she didn't have an opinion. Susan (Teri Hatcher) was troubled by thoughts she couldn't share with her spouse and Carlos (Richardo Antonio Chavira) was in the same predicament...suddenly found they had a great deal to talk about." Carlos sees ghost of Alejandro and Susan feels like she has a flashing 'guilty' neon sign on her forehead. She got 15 hours community service. Their talks feel so...Susan: "I know." She hoped to run into him and so did he. Carlos hasn't read To Kill A Mockingbird. Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) "Susan and Carlos were starting to pay attention to one another, but what they didn't realize was someone else was paying attention too." I.e Mike (James Denton) sees them through the window.

Miranda July (l.) and Hamish Linklater talk about The Future.
One of the more off-beat independent films of 2011, The Future is written and directed by the cult filmmaker Miranda July, whose 2005 Me You and Everyone We Know is one of our favorites!
When a thirtysomething couple (July and Hamish Linklater of TV’s The New Adventures of Old Christine) decides to adopt a stray cat whom they name “Paw Paw,” their entire perspective on life changes dramatically. The decision literally alters the course of time (and space!), while testing their faith in themselves and each other.
Also starring David Warshofsky (There Will Be Blood) and Isabella Acres (TV’s Better Off Ted), the dark comedy, which is partially narrated by Paw Paw, was nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear Award at the 2011 Berlin International Film Festival.

Chicago – The beauty of indie filmmaker Miranda July lies in her ability to create substance and mystery out of the most mundane everyday circumstances. Ms. July wrote, directed and stars in the symbolically rich new film “The Future,” and nurtures the concept of “the relationship” into another realm.
Forging a stunning commentary on the mendacity of couplehood, July uses doses of intense fantasy and starkly cruel reality to light the dark corners of the interrelating human race. It also can be argued that this film is nothing more than survival mechanisms at work, and that the fantasy elements involved are merely represented to propagate the good fortune of getting to the next sunset.
Sophie (July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater) are a thirtysomething couple that have been together for four years. They have their internet and their rituals, including indulging in a pretend game that has Jason stopping time. Their lives...

Title: The Future Writer-director: Miranda July Starring: Miranda July, Hamish Linklater, David Warshofsky, Isabella Acres, Joe Putterlik Modern film — especially American film — typically aims (and basically entirely exists) to pull certain emotional or experiential levers, to elicit feelings. So when one views a movie where it isn’t immediately clear (and maybe not even by its end) what the hell it wants from an audience, what sort of emotional reaction or sentimental connection it wishes to provoke, it can be a bracing and somewhat bewildering experience. That’s certainly the case, in mostly the best sense of that description, with multi-hyphenate Miranda July’s sophomore effort, The Future. Her follow-up to the arresting Me...

Written and Directed by Miranda July
Starring Miranda July, Hamish Linklater, David Warshofsky, Isabella Acres, Joe Putterlik
It’s impossible to describe the plot of Miranda July’s latest movie without making it sound unbearably twee – and it’s anything but. Although it does include a talking cat, a hipster couple, YouTube bedroom dances, stopped time and the Moon as a character, The Future is never less than wry and intelligent, with an honest and compelling emotional core. July has a keen eye for moments of epiphany that are triggered by trivial things, and a masterful ability to construct these moments into a cohesive story, managing to weave a morality tale about the transience of life around a nondescript pair of Silverlake fauxhemians. The Future consists of many seemingly disparate elements fashioned into an extremely rewarding whole, one that reinforces our sense that the greatest truths are usually found in the smallest details.

Check out the trailer for The Future, starring Miranda July, Hamish Linklater, David Warshofsky and Isabella Acres. Miranda July directs The Future from her own script. Gerhard Meixner, Gina Kwon and Roman Paul produce. The film opens July 29th. Miranda July’s The Future was a critical standout at this year’s Sundance, Berlin and SXSW film festivals. With her first feature, Me And You And Everyone We Know, writer-director July established an immediately identifiable voice—curious, playful, with an offbeat attunement to the particularities of modern life. In her wildly inventive—and remarkably poignant—sophomore film, she tells the story of a thirty-something couple who, on deciding to adopt a cat, change their perspective on life, literally altering the course of time and testing their faith in each other and themselves.

It’s been six years since Miranda July‘s Me and You and Everyone We Know, featuring an excellent lead performance from the now-Oscar-nominated John Hawkes. After a premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2011, she is back with her latest feature, The Future. One can check out our review here, as we called it a “bold” and “charming.” With the first trailer below, it certainly looks like both. The film stars July herself, as well as Hamish Linklater, David Warshofsky, Isabella Acres, and Joe Putterlik. Check out the trailer via Apple, as well as the poster we debuted a few days ago.

Imagine if you had only one month to live but couldn’t really think of anything to do. Such is the plight of the couple in “The Future,” who consider the responsibility of pet ownership to be pretty much equivalent to death. Their resolution to achieve something with their lives doesn’t necessarily yield any actual achievements, but it does change their world.

Summary: An obsessed cop is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, New York. When his teenage daughter disappears, he drops any pretension and professional restraint he might have to get the killer.
Analysis: Shot almost three years ago now, Dark Castle had originally planned to release this thriller back in late 2009. However for reasons unspecified, it has been sitting on a shelf for some time and keeps getting delayed. In cases like these, the most obvious reason is usually the correct one - it stinks (eg. "Case 39"). The company certainly has had its fair share of box-office duds lately including "Whiteout," "Ninja Assassin," "The Losers," "Orphan" and "Splice".
Yet Cusack generally has good taste in projects, his last venture into horror was the surprisingly effective Stephen King...

Miranda July's debut film "Me and You and Everyone We Know" made a splash at Sundance five years ago -- Roger Ebert stumbled into it on a whim and came out declaring it the best film at the festival. And now her second feature, entitled "The Future," will be making its premiere in Park City this January before heading to screen in competition at the Berlinale.
Also added to the Sundance line-up is "Flypaper," directed by Rob Minkoff of "The Lion King" and "The Forbidden Kingdom" (right?), a comedy about an accidental double bank robbery starring Patrick Dempsey and Ashley Judd. And then there's "Magic Trip," a documentary co-directed by Alison Ellwood and the prolific Alex Gibney, pieced together from footage of an acid-fueled road trip taken by writer Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters back in 1964.
Here are the official descriptions from the festival:

Also added to the Sundance line-up is "Flypaper," directed by Rob Minkoff of "The Lion King" and "The Forbidden Kingdom" (right?), a comedy about an accidental double bank robbery starring Patrick Dempsey and Ashley Judd. And then there's "Magic Trip," a documentary co-directed by Alison Ellwood and the prolific Alex Gibney, pieced together from footage of an acid-fueled road trip taken by writer Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters back in 1964.

Chicago – With their renewal of “Better Off Ted” and “Scrubs,” it’s clear that ABC is unwilling to throw in the towel and give up on a comedy that’s not finding its audience. Before the wonderful arrival of “Modern Family,” easily one of the best shows on TV, ABC was not recently known as the place for laughs and there has clearly been a conscious effort to change that including giving the relatively audience deficient “Better Off Ted” another shot at finding a following (as well as scheduling an entire night of new comedy to start the season on Wednesdays).
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
With a second-season premiere tonight and the recent arrival of the first season on DVD, if “Better Off Ted” has a shot at even cult status, it better happen soon. The ratings near the end of last season were abysmal and I’ll admit that I had written off the show,...

When they adapted Dilbert from a simple comic strip into a television show they had a good idea; they just executed it poorly. The ridiculous nature of bureaucracy and its system of ethics with a Gumbi-like flexibility make a perfect target for lampooning. Dilbert does it perfectly on the page, but when translated to a moving cartoon the humor suddenly falls flat. But it can be done. Other ventures have taken up the mantle of pointing out the ludicrous nature of big business (The Office, Office Space, etc.) and each has been more successful than Dilbert. I would dare to say that when it comes to the funniest take on “business as usual”, Better Off Ted beats the rest. Easily. Heck, it only seems fitting that a sitcom which draws its name from a hilarious John Cusack film should have equally perfect comedic timing.

See five clips from ABC's comedy "Better Off Ted" which stars Jay Harrington as Ted, Portia de Rossi as Veronica, Andrea Anders as Linda, Jonathan Slavin as Phil, Malcolm Barrett as Lem and Isabella Acres as Rose. "Better Off Ted" is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. Victor Fresco ("My Name Is Earl," "Andy Richter Controls the Universe") is executive producer and creator of the series. "Better Off Ted" is a satirical office comedy about successful good guy Ted Crisp who runs research and development at Veridian Dynamics, a company with a morally questionable approach to its employees. Whether it's standing by a memo with a typo that encourages employees to now (as opposed to not) use offensive language with each other, or championing interoffice dating based on DNA matching to save money on health care, Veridian is a company that puts its bottom line first...

Some folks in Hollywood got a nice start to their weekend as ABC handed out some more renewal notices for the 2009 - 2010 season. Though the network execs won't announce their upcoming schedule until Tuesday, the good news has already been given to the folks behind Better Off Ted, Scrubs, and Castle.
Castle revolves around a popular crime novelist who ends up teaming with a real-life female cop. The series stars Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Molly C. Quinn, Susan Sullivan, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Tamala Jones, Jon Huertas, and Seamus Dever. Though the show hasn't been able to hold onto a large portion of Dancing with the Stars' audience, signs have been looking pretty good for a renewal. The alphabet network typically shows faith in one or two struggling new shows each season.
