Grab the tissues — Tracey Ullman is about to make you cry … tears of laughter!
Speaking with People Now, the 56-year-old actress opened up about her recent run-in with Jerry Seinfeld, seeing David Letterman again, experiencing Rubert Grint‘s very own ice cream truck (yes, he has one of those), and impersonating Judi Dench in her new HBO series, The Tracey Ullman Show.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has his wife Lisa to thank for helping him weather the storm that gathered when 10 physicians demanded his dismissal from Columbia University last week.
And some encouragement from Oprah Winfrey didn't hurt, either.
"Oprah's a very supportive woman. She's very mothering," he told People while celebrating the HealthCorps Annual Gala in New York City on Wednesday night.
Oprah, who has lived through her own share of controversies, told Oz not to take the criticism too personally.

Director Michael Apted’s documentary 56 Up premieres as an installment of PBS’ Pov film series on Monday, Oct. 14, at 10pm Et (check local listings).

Every seven years since, director Michael Apted’s Up film series revisited members of the group, revealing how the “kids” have fared through the stages of life and how their perspectives evolved. Now at age 56, the group members face the personal, health and career challenges of middle age. But Apted found […]

Starting in 1964 with Seven Up, The Up Series, currently highlighted by its latest entry, 2012’s 56 Up, has explored the Jesuit maxim “Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man.”
The original concept was to interview 14 children from diverse backgrounds from all over England, asking them about their lives and their dreams for the future.

Last week a new program was announced at Stateside at Paramount Theatre (formerly known as the State). "Stateside Independent" will screen a different independent film -- festival fare, documentaries, local premieres, etc. -- each Monday night.
In his blog entry on the Paramount website, programmer Stephen Jannise said, "I couldn't be more excited about providing a fresh new platform for independent filmmakers to showcase their work, and my greatest hope is that this series proves to be a valuable addition for the growing community of Austin film lovers."
The first movie will show on Monday, Feb. 18 and Tuesday, Feb. 19. Director Michael Apted's 56 Up is the 2012 update to the series he began in 1964 with Seven Up! Every seven years he checks in with the children he met while making that original 30-minute TV special.

Director Michael Apted has made his name through a prolific career that's included James Bond and Narnia films as well as a variety of docs and dramas. What's probably the benchmark for his lengthy career is what's been called the "Up Series," a series of documentaries that began on Granada Television in 1964 with Apted interviewing a group of seven year olds about their lives and futures. Every seven years, Apted revisited the individuals, or at least those who wished to continue being involved with the series, which brings us to the 8th film in the series, 56 Up , where all of Apted's subjects have moved beyond mid-life crises and are fully on the road to senior citizenship, many of them with kids and even grandkids. For those who have watched the series since its...

There are few projects in the history of cinema as ambitious or accomplished as Michael Apted's "Up" series. Started in 1964, the concept at first was to capture the socio-economic condition and how it affected children, but it soon turned into a decades-spanning look at life itself. Every seven years, Apted returned with this cameras to visit with the subjects of "7 Up," resulting in a portrait unlike anything else, an insightful look into a group of Britons growing from childhood into adulthood. Though it already aired on U.K. television screens earlier this year, the latest chapter, "56 Up," is crossing the pond and with it comes a new trailer that more than adequately highlights what has made the series so unique over the years. And indeed for Apted, it's something that he treasures. “It was the first job I had and it's likely to be the last. It has been...

From an illicit Pixies gig to a Mesopotamian ziggurat, Guardian critics recall their biggest moment of inspiration in their respective fields
How to enter this year's competition
Pop: Alexis Petridis
Can any gig you see as a critic ever match the ones you saw as a teenager? Bizarrely, going to a gig when I was 17 was harder work than writing reviews has ever been. It involved not merely getting to London, but lying to my parents about where I was going, lying to my friend's parents about where my parents thought I was going, bunking off school, and then convincing somebody who looked 18 to go to the bar on my behalf.
But none of that mattered the night I saw the Pixies supported by My Bloody Valentine, in September 1988. It's not every night you see arguably the two most important guitar bands of the era on the same stage at...

Well it’s about damn time. Scott Mann’s hard core British action movie The Tournament has finally been given a UK release and unlike its U.S debut - were it was dumped straight onto DVD - it will be getting a limited theatrical release. Tournament stars Robert Carlyle, Sebastien Foucan, Kelly Hu, Liam Cunningham, Ving Rhames and Ian Somerhalder in an icky red battle to the death, between some of the world’s best assassins. Yes its very violent, yes it’s morally ambiguous, and yes it has plot holes you could drive a double-decker Bus through, but all that still doesn’t detract from the fact its one of the best looking, most action packed, bloody, and enjoyably over-the-top popcorn thrillers to come out of the UK in many a year. Definitely one for all you action junkies. The Tournament opens in selected UK theatres July 9th.

Q: Dear winged simian, why isn’t the song "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush considered a gay anthem? I know the song isn't in itself gay, but the message, especially the last verse – “Don't give up, 'cause I believe there's the a place, there's a place where we belong" – says so much. Plus, it’s been covered by Willie Nelson, Sinead O'Connor, Sarah Brightman, and Gregorian monks! – Gilbert, Mcallen, TX
"Don't Give Up" by Gabriel/Bush (1986) and Ferraro/Gaga (2009)
A: What makes a song a "gay anthem" – or what makes any work of art go from "well-received" to "timeless" status?

Every seven years, 30 of the world’s most deadly assassins take over a random city and compete for a ten million dollar prize. The rules are simple. The contestants have twenty-four hours to be the sole survivor, if not a tracking device implanted in their abdomen will detonate. Let the game begin.
If you’re a fan of action blockbusters like Transporter or Crank than The Tournament should excite you. The film is ninety minutes of explosions, slow-motion, 300-style fight sequences, and shoot-em-up action. But what really sets The Tournament apart from most films in this genre is the gratuitous gore, hence the appeal to fright fans. There are plenty of exploding heads/dismemberments and because the tournament takes place in a random city, there is no shortage of civilian casualties. The body count is high and unlike cartoonish films like Transformers, the mayhem is bloody and visceral.

Chicago – Many editions of the DVD Round-Up have featured a different genre and focus for each title within it. This week seems a little more thematically linked as we have a trio of foreign horror films and a few more independent films than usual. Of course, there has to a holiday comedy to spice things up.
Consider this column informational with synopsis, tech specs, and special features info for titles that might go otherwise unnoticed, but if you’re looking for more critical opinion, we covered “Sauna” when it played at the EU Film Fest, “Medicine For Melancholy” when it was available on IFC Direct, and “Nothing Like the Holidays” when it played in theaters.

The ideal action film contains more than just kick ass combat and carnage... it should also have a smart script and characters that make us care whether or not they survive or end up with a grenade shoved up their ass. But as with most ideals the films that accomplish all that can be counted on two or three hands. That short list would include flicks like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon (1 & 2), Terminator (1 & 2), and all three Bourne movies. The best we can hope for in most cases though is an extremely high degree of ridiculousness, one-note characters, and non-stop action scenes that shock and awe us into glee-filled submission. Welcome to The Tournament... Every seven years thirty of the world's best assassins descend upon an unsuspecting small town and spend the next twenty-four hours trying to kill each other. The last hit-man (or hit-woman) standing receives a $10 million cash prize and the title of King Shit until...

The Tournament is one of the year's best action movies. Yup, I said it. It releases on Tuesday, and I'll have a full review up on the same day, but for now trust me when I say this is one very cool and bloody romp. Unbelievable and highly implausible sure, but filled with fantastic fights, gunplay, and bloody squib-filled bodies. Every seven years thirty of the best assassins in the world descend on a small town where they proceed to fight to the death for a giant cash prize. Each player is surgically embedded with a tracker and given a handheld Gps so they can see the other assassins. The town is wired with closed-circuit cameras, the phone lines are rerouted to prevent pesky interference from law enforcement, and a room filled with wealthy gamblers watches the whole thing on CCTV and places their bets on who will win this year's contest. It's...

Every seven years, the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister takes a one-year sabbatical. As he argues, that's not so crazy.
Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most talented graphic designers working today, so he knows a little bit about keeping his creativity flowing. His trick? Taking really, really long vacations. In fact, every seven years, he takes an entire year off.
As Sagmeister describes it in his recent Ted talk (which just made it to the Web), we spend our first 25 years learning, the next 40 years working, and the last 15 retired. "I thought it might be helpful to cut off five of those retirement years and intersperse them in between those working years," Sagmeister says. And what's more: "That's clearly enjoyable for myself but probably even more important is that the work that comes out of those years flows back into the company and the society at larger rather than benefiting just a grandchild or two.

In “The Tournament”, Robert Carlyle plays a small-town priest who gets unwittingly dragged into a bloody tournament taking place covertly in his town. Okay, it’s not all that covert, there are guys running around with sniper rifles and bazookas trying to off each other. Actually, it’s pretty obvious, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but there you have it. Here’s a clip from Scott Mann’s actioner “The Tournament”, featuring Carlyle’s character as he finds himself in the crosshairs of some killer types. Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins. The last man standing receiving the $10,000,000 cash prize and the title of Worlds No 1, which itself carries the legendary million dollar a bullet price tag. Starring Ian Somerhalder, Ving Rhames, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Hu, Scott Adkins, Liam Cunningham, John Lynch,...
