Garry Marshall's 1987 film "Overboard" is brisk and light, although the premise is a little dark. Kurt Russell plays Dean, a blue-collar widower who is hired by a spoiled heiress named Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) to build a custom closet. Dean does quality work, but Joanna refuses to pay him because of a few small, insignificant details. Joanna is an entitled, spoiled brat who treats everyone poorly.
When Joanna later falls off of a yacht and begins suffering from amnesia, Dean picks her up from the hospital, telling her that she's actually his wife Annie.
Joanna is taken to Dean's home, and he gets a form of karmic revenge on her. Dean instructs her to do extensive difficult chores around the house, and to take care of his four sons. For a short while, he takes delight in watching her suffer with the hard work, understanding that she was too...

Known for his smug, bemused sense of humor, Chevy Chase became famous for a series of highly profitable comedies. Let’s take a look back at 12 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Born in New York in 1943, Chase turned to comedy after a series of odd jobs. After a short stint with the “National Lampoon,” he shot to stardom in 1975 as one of the original Not Ready for Primetime Players on “Saturday Night Live.” In its first season, Chase became famous both for his pratfalls and his Gerald Ford impersonation. He was also the initial host of “Weekend Update,” starting each week with the catchphrase, “I’m Chevy Chase, and you’re not.”
After winning Emmys for writing and performing in 1976, Chase left “SNL” after one year to pursue a movie career (he was replaced by Bill Murray). He earned Golden Globe nominations as Best Comedy/Musical Actor...

Chevy Chase has spent most of his showbiz career trying to end his career.
The tall, seemingly affable comedic actor was the first breakout star of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," and left before the conclusion of the series' second season to pursue movie stardom. He met with instant success in "Foul Play," "Caddyshack" and "Seems Like Old Times," and, despite the occasional flop, proved to be a relatively reliable star throughout the 1980s. But the star struggled with substance abuse issues and often rubbed his collaborators the wrong way. When he returned to host "SNL" in 1978, his smug demeanor provoked a physical altercation backstage with Bill Murray. While hosting "SNL" during the 1985-86 season, he wondered aloud to Robert Downey Jr. why his father's directing career "went to hell." John Carpenter had a miserable experience directing Chase in 1992's "Memoirs of an Invisible Man," which, like most of the star's output during that decade,...

Yvonne Wilder, the actor known for her work in “West Side Story,” “Seems Like Old Times” and numerous TV shows, died Nov. 24 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 84.
Wilder played the role of Consuelo in Robert Wise’s landmark 1961 film adaptation of the Broadway musical “West Side Story.” She also appeared in the role of Anita in a West End production of “West Side Story” and in the first international touring production of the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim musical.
Wilder was remembered by friends for her love of dancing and her fiery sense of humor. “West Side Story” co-star George Chakiris recently hailed her contributions to the stage production and the movie.
“Yvonne Wilder had an extraordinary, unique sense of humor. I did the play in London with Yvonne so I knew her before the movie,” George Chakiris told TCM in May. “But Yvonne’s humor was adopted by all of us.

Refresh For Updates Costars and fans alike remembered Charles Grodin today as one of film’s funniest actors and TV’s most compelling personalities. “So sad to hear,” tweeted Steve Martin, who appeared alongside Grodin in the 1984 comedy The Lonely Guy. “One of the funniest people I ever met…”
“A brilliant comedy actor,” tweeted Albert Brooks. “I had the wonderful experience of working with him in my first feature ‘Real Life’ and he was amazing. Rest In Peace, Chuck.”
Grodin, who appeared in such films as Midnight Run, The Heartbreak Kid, Beethoven, The Great Muppet Caper and on TV as a favored guest of Johnny Carson and David Letterman, died today of bone marrow cancer at his home in Connecticut.
“I loved Charles Grodin so much,” tweeted Kathy Griffin. “He would bust my balls and give me so much shit in a way that left me no choice but to giggle with glee.

Charles Grodin, best known for the neurotic comic wit he demonstrated in such films as “The Heartbreak Kid,” “Heaven Can Wait” and “Midnight Run” and for his role in the “Beethoven” movies, died Tuesday at his home in Connecticut. He was 86.
The New York Times reported that his son said he died of bone marrow cancer.
After getting his start in television, Grodin graduated to both leading and character roles in motion pictures, usually portraying the exasperated urban neurotic. His dry, understated sense of humor also made him a perfect talkshow guest, and later, host of his own cable show. Grodin also wrote plays and books.
The wry 1972 comedy “The Heartbreak Kid,” written by Neil Simon and directed by Elaine May, highlighted Grodin’s trademark neurotic befuddlement, and won him a Golden Globe nomination. But it was one of the few successful films in his career in which he was center stage.

Charles Grodin, the comic, scene-stealing actor of such films as The Heartbreak Kid, Midnight Run and Beethoven who later established himself as a curmudgeonly talk show guest without rival, died today at his home in Wilton, Conn. He was 86.
His son, Nicholas, told The New York Times that the cause of death was bone marrow cancer. A spokesperson said Grodin died peacefully at his home.
Born Charles Sidney Grodin in Pittsburgh, Grodin, who studied under Lee Strasberg, made his big-screen debut in the small role as the duped obstetrician who turns Mia Farrow’s Rosemary over to a coven of witches in Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Grodin graduated to leading man by 1972’s The Heartbreak Kid, the Elaine May film that established his career and set the hapless, dry-wit style that would become his signature.

No one could blame Grey’s Anatomy viewers if they asked to be prescribed mild sedatives after last Thursday’s episode found both Owen and Amelia falling into out-of-left-field hookups — the former with Arizona’s latest love, Carina; the latter, with her mentor, Koracick. But what do the dalliances mean for the separated couple? “I think they’re just practicing not being married people,” Caterina Scorsone told TVLine at the ABC drama’s recent 300th-episode bash. “They’re trying to just break the seal.”

Weird is a very comfortable word in Jeff Lieberman’s lexicon. From the night crawler nastiness of Squirm (1976) to his mountaintop massacre Just Before Dawn (1981), his films are always a little left of the norm and all the better for it. And in between those two, he decided to take a run at a paranoia thriller nursing a major ‘60s hangover, pulsating with psychotic, Kojakian ex hippies. Welcome to Blue Sunshine (1978), a film more potent than the brown acid your great uncle said he took at Woodstock. (Although he probably wasn’t even there.)
Released Stateside in May (after a stop across the pond at the BFI the previous November) by Cinema Shares International (the fine folks behind Soul Brothers of Kung Fu), Blue Sunshine’s limited run and puzzled looks from critics saw it quickly fade away into cultdom, where it resided for decades with Lieberman’s other films...

"We go back a long way, Diane and I," the director said of the actress, who won a best actress Oscar for her role in his 1977 film, Annie Hall.
In a monologue that received big laughs from those in attendance, Allen likened Keaton to All About Eve's Eve Harrington, joking that he didn't mean to suggest that she was "ruthlessly ambitious" but that when a young Keaton meant to refer to him as a talented young director, she "instead called me a stepping stone."

When Diane Keaton accepted the 45th AFI Life Achievement Award from Woody Allen in Hollywood Thursday night, it was the end of one of the more memorable AFI tributes. And as one actress after another explained why Keaton was such a significant role model — from Oscar-winners Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon (Keaton-directed TV movie “Wildflower”) and Meryl Streep (“Marvin’s Room”) to Rachel McAdams (“The Family Stone”) and comedienne Lisa Kudrow (“Hanging Up”) — it struck me that all actresses should pay attention to why Keaton is so admired and emulated.
Here are some wise lessons to be learned from the star of “Play It Again Sam,” “The First Wives Club,” “Crimes of the Heart,” “Shoot the Moon,” and HBO’s “The Young Pope.”
1. Stay single.
Keaton launched her Hollywood career with the day-long wedding scene in “The Godfather,” at the end of which she and fellow theater outsider Al Pacino proceeded to get royally drunk.

Snatched may be Amy Schumer's favorite Goldie Hawn movie, but that's mostly because it was, as she's said, "a complete dream come true" to film with one of her idols. "I threw my arms around her -- I don't know if this is weird or not -- and I was just like, 'I love you so much,'" Schumer told Et of being on set with Hawn. "Getting to see Goldie every day and be on camera together was the best part. We fell in love...but [also] the movie's amazing."
Fair enough. But it was Hawn's illustrious filmography -- spanning 50 years and including an Academy Award win for Cactus Flower in 1969 -- that inspired Schumer to try to entice her back to the big screen, marking Hawn's film in 15 years. (Her last was 2002's The Banger Sisters.) Ahead of Snatched's release on Friday, we had Schumer list her five must-watch Goldie Hawn movies.

Snowbound western The Hateful Eight marks Quentin Tarantino’s quarter-century as a director. We ask his stars Tim Roth, Kurt Russell and Walton Goggins what makes the maestro tick
Seems like old times: eight people in a room – seven men, one woman – all of them suspicious of one another’s motives and deceits, all of them talkative and foul-mouthed, most of them with a propensity for brutal violence and, in consequence, only a short time left to live.

Everyone's favorite macabre family is wonderfully portrayed by Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Raul Julia as Gomez, Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester and Christina Ricci as Wednesday. Spooky fun, just in time for Halloween.
2. "The Bad News Bears" (1976) PG
Walter Matthau is a grumpy hoot as a reluctant little league coach, Tatum O'Neal is great as the tomboy pitcher and the Bears (including a young Jackie Earle Haley) are perfectly, awfully bad.
3. "Bernie" (2011) PG-13
Jack Black stars in the real-life story of a mortician who ends...

Boiler Plate Weekend: Granier-Deferre’s Familiar, Forgettable Getaway
Inappropriate lovers contending with a criminal while trapped in an isolated locale is hardly an original premise on its own and Christophe Granier-Deferre’s directorial debut, Dirty Weekend, doesn’t supply the necessary energy to make up for its familiarity. Bypassing a theatrical release altogether, even its title has been subjected to reconsideration, initially titled Le Weekend (snagged by Roger Michell for his 2013 film), Neil Labute’s Alice Eve/Matthew Broderick vehicle will most likely superimpose Granier-Deferre’s alternate, as well. Rudimentary, predictable, and sometimes a bit forced in its bid for a comedic affect, you’ll see every narrative twist and turn miles before they land.
Arriving in Normandy from England for a weekend getaway, Mike’s (Jamie Palmer) actions seem immediately suspicious, finagling a car rental with cash rather than a credit card. He’s a married teacher that’s...

Clambering onto the stage at Zurich's Corso Cinema to a rousing reception, and wearing a typically idiosyncratic ensemble (trilby, houndstooth blazer and leather skirt with white socks and precarious black heels), Keaton charmed the Swiss crowd, breaking into a breathy rendition of 'Seems Like Old Times' and brandishing her trademark goofy humour. Naming Ryan Gosling as the actor she'd most like to work with ("He can't wait to have a love scene with me"), she also heaped praise on her "age-appropriate" co-star Michael Douglas in Rob Reiner's "And So It Goes", which screened after Keaton accepted her award. "As far as our [screen] kiss goes," said Keaton, "it worked really well for me. The older I get the more I enjoy the kisses because I realize in my own personal life that's probably not going to happen. I told Rob Reiner he needed to do a lot of takes.

This episode feels about three hours long. Technically speaking, a great many things happen in it, but most of them don’t feel significant, partly because none of the plotlines that were going somewhere last week achieve any forward momentum. As the clock is ticking down towards the closing credits, there’s a brief, wordless scene of Lafayette and Lettie Mae digging up the yard they saw Tara clawing up in their shared vision, just to let us know that that particular plot thread is still in play and hasn’t been forgotten. But there are also long, meandering scenes in which Sam (drowning his sorrows at Arlene’s bar, where he now seems to be the only remaining customer) and Andy (taking a break from searching for his daughter to stand by the side of a lake and have a good cry) whine about how fed up and frustrated...

This Sunday on Showtime’s Homeland, something I thought wouldn’t happen anytime soon instead did, while something I dreaded was sure to happen didn’t. And that is why this show rocks.
The episode opens with Roya intercepting Brody to stress that since they lost a man in the Gettysburg attack, he’ll need to play an even larger role moving forward. When Brody balks, she assures, “Things are going to move quickly now… This is no time to bug. We’re almost there.” And to that end, she directs him to “keep Walden very happy.” That last bit puzzles Carrie and Quinn,...

Original Tree Hill-ion Chad Michael Murray makes his long-awaited, final season return to the soap that made him a three-named household name, and from the looks of this exclusive behind-the-scenes snap, he's done some changing. Unfortunately, we'll only get a quick reunion for our boy Lucas and his bestie Haley (the perpetually fabulous Bethany Joy Galeotti), since Cmm, who left back in '09, is only back for the Feb. 22nd episode.

What was Sony thinking? Like predecessors Superbad ($121.5 million domestic B.O.) and Pineapple Express ($87.3 million), raunchy comedy 30 Minutes or Less, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari and Danny McBride, looked to be building some summer bad-boy buzz until online needles rattled over a potentially devastating controversy. Anthony D'Alessandro has more:
Instantly, the set-up of 30 Minutes, which looked like a heightened version of Neil Simon’s Seems Like Old Times, took on a new light when the family of Brian Wells, a late Pennsylvania pizza man who met his fate after being coerced to rob a bank as a bomb hostage, revealed that the 30 Minutes filmmakers were satirizing their real tragedy.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens — some of the most Googled actors working today. All four young stars have multiple projects lined up and will no doubt have long careers to look forward to… or will they? Today’s above-the-title marquee names are easily turned into tomorrow’s TV-movie walk-ons. Don’t believe us? Let’s take a look at nine headliners from years past — actors who entertained us time and time again and who today, for one reason or another, have faded into obscurity…
9. Gene Wilder
When younger audiences think of Willy Wonka, they likely picture Johnny Depp’s soft-voiced, porcelain-skinned, man-child in Tim Burton’s 2005 re-imagining, but the quintessential Wonka will always be found in the form of the great Gene Wilder. Wilder’s manic performance in the original 1971 adaptation was the stuff of legend, achieving the rare feat of being both sweet and sinister all at once.

The La Times has sad news to report. The great character actor, Harold Gould, has passed away.
Harold Gould, a veteran character actor who played con man Kid Twist in the 1973 movie The Sting, Valerie Harper’s father on TV’s “Rhoda” and Betty White’s boyfriend on “The Golden Girls,” has died. He was 86.
Gould, who also was known for his stage work, died Saturday at the Motion Picture and Television Fund retirement community in Woodland Hills of prostate cancer that had metastasized, said Leah Gould, his daughter-in-law.
A former university drama teacher who launched his career in front of the camera in the early ’60s, Gould appeared in movies such as “Harper,” the 1974 remake of “The Front Page,” “Love and Death,” “Silent Movie,” “Freaky Friday” and “Patch Adams.”
Over the last five decades, he made scores of guest appearances on TV shows such as “Route 66,” “Perry Mason,...

When Elin and the kids are away, Tiger plays! Seems like old times!
Tiger Woods isn’t sitting home alone, crying tears of loneliness for his estranged wife Elin Nordegren, who has taken little Sam, 2, and Charlie, 1, to Sweden for several weeks. No, it appears he’s having a grand time at home in his gated community in Isleworth, Florida.His house has been packed with friends and business associates, day and night and his driveway is full of cars, according to Radaronline. “This is not a man sitting around depressed about his marriage. Tiger is getting on with his life without Elin,” says their source. Tiger even went golfing with his NBA buddy Michael Jordan on Apr. 20 and Apr. 21.
Why is this not surprising? Elin had barely boarded the plane to Sweden on Mon. April 19th, before he headed with friends to an Orlando restaurant/ bar,...

What’s so funny about marriage? Well, depending on the circumstances, marriage can be painfully funny. Director Shawn Levy returns with his newest comedy Date Night, set to hit theaters this Friday, April 9. Date Night stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey in a film about a married couple whose little white lie turns into a hilariously disastrous adventure. In anticipation of this wildly anticipated new comedy, We Are Movie Geeks have compiled our own list of the Top Ten Marital Comedies.

Sure, the movie is primarily about the thrills and turbulence of being a parent, but with that comes the equally thrilling and turbulent ordeals of married life, which is hilariously captured in this early Ron Howard-directed comedy. The story focuses on the Buckman family, a couple played by Steve Martin and Mary Steenburgen, as they stumble through raising their children. The movie is a playfully enjoyable ride,...

Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw in The Blind Side (Ralph Nelson / Warner Bros.) "… Far and away the biggest-grossing movie with a female as its sole main player, which is certainly a challenge to conventional Hollywood assumptions (men can star alone, while women need a costar of either sex)." That’s Sandra Bullock in the 2009 football drama The Blind Side, right? Wrong. Film commentator Stuart Byron was referring to Goldie Hawn in the 1980 army comedy Private Benjamin (right), which earned $69.8 million at the domestic box office (about $173m in 2010 dollars, as per Box Office Mojo’s average ticket-price ratio). That same year, Hawn co-starred with Chevy Chase in the comedy Seems Like Old Times: $43.9m (or approx. $109m [...]...

In the pantheon of strange films, Blue Sunshine (1976) certainly holds a spot, and a high-ranking spot amidst the films of the 70’s. Written and directed by Jeff Lieberman (Squirm), this is a movie that appeals on more than one level. To some, the film will be a memorable b-movie experience, but it’s a drug-induced out-of-your-mind crazy experience as well. The film also appeals to those horror fans that enjoyed the early works of David Cronenberg, as it maintains a similar feel as movies like Rabid and Brood.
I saw this movie some years ago, but recently picked it up on DVD off that Internet thing. Sure, I could have purchased the Blue Sunshine DVD on it’s own, but part of the fun for me seeing it the first time was that I discovered it while watching Elvira’S Movie MacAbre on TV. Yeah, you got me… the original...

"Chuck" fans are in for a treat this spring when Emmy Award-winning comedy legend Chevy Chase guest stars on the NBC comedy. Chase will guest-star as an iconic computer genius who may be more than he appears in a multi-episode arc on "Chuck."
Celebrity News Service loves Chase and was a fan of his since his days on "NBC's Saturday Night Live." On "Chuck," Chase will play Ted Roark who is the founder and great mind behind Roark Instruments. Chuck (Zachary Levi) has looked up to Roark since he was a kid, and working at Roark Instruments is his dream. But perhaps there's more to this company than just super cool computers, turtlenecks -- and uberpositive employees.
One of the most honored and beloved actors of his generation, Chase first came to national prominence as a writer and performer with the original cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," for which he won two Emmys.
