Even though he's now a big budget film director ("Avengers"), Joss Whedon isn't afraid to break outside of Hollywood channels. Whedon is releasing his latest project, "In Your Eyes," the supernatural romance which he wrote and executive produced, as a $5 digital rental via Vimeo On Demand and the film's website.Whedon announced the news via video on Sunday following the world premiere of the film at the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Brin Hill, "In Your Eyes" stars Zoe Kazan, Michael Stahl-David, Nikki Reed, Mark Feuerstein, Jennifer Grey, and Steve Howey. Read Eric Kohn's review here.The film will be released via the micro-studio Bellwether Pictures, which Whedon co-founded with his wife, Kai Cole with the idea of exploring new distribution strategies for independent films, such as releasing films directly to the public via digital download. The company's first release was last year's contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About.

Sometime during the spring of my freshman year at college, a friend of mine decided to break out a big romantic gesture for his girlfriend of just a few weeks – they weren’t celebrating anything special, no anniversary or holiday to peg it to, he just wanted to do something – and he decided to recreate the infamous boombox scene from Say Anything. It went over like gangbusters. He drove his truck to the back of her dorm, stood in the bed of it, and blasted Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” for everyone to hear. I’m certain that was part of the charm – his girlfriend heard it, the rest of her dorm heard it, people walking to class heard it. (She was, to put it delicately, a bit of a show-off.) Most importantly, everyone seemed to get it. Cameron Crowe’s film was nearly fifteen years old when this particularly over-the-top expression of love occurred, and...

You couldn't make "Say Anything" today. Lloyd Dobler would be standing outside Diane Court's house holding up his iPhone... nah, it just wouldn't work.
"Say Anything," which opened 25 years ago this week (on April 14, 1989), was definitely a movie of its time. In addition to that iconic moment where Lloyd uses his boombox to serenade Diane with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," it's the movie that made John Cusack into Generation X's favorite romantic leading man, as well as launching Cameron Crowe's directing career. And its countless cameos fill the film with faces that were familiar to audiences a quarter-century ago (blink and you'll miss Chynna Phillips, of Wilson Phillips fame, as Joe's new girlfriend) -- or those that were about to be, like future Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard (he plays a cab driver), Dan Castellaneta (on the eve of fame as the voice of Homer Simpson, he...

New York (AP) — Kiss made up, but its music went unheard. Nirvana used four women rockers to sing Kurt Cobain's songs. And Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band — predictably — turned its honor into a marathon. The three acts were ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday in a colorful induction ceremony at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. They were joined by the blue-eyed soul duo Hall & Oates, British rocker Peter Gabriel, 1970s folkie Cat Stevens and the absent Linda Ronstadt. Nirvana was the emotional centerpiece. The trio rooted in the Seattle-area punk rock scene was voted into the hall in its first year of eligibility. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hit like a thunderclap upon its 1991 release, but the band was done after Kurt Cobain committed suicide 20 years ago this month. "Nirvana fans walk up to me every day and say thank you for the music," said Krist Novoselic,...

var brightcovevideoid = '3455979578001'; Despite his recent uncoupling, Chris Martin could not have seemed more upbeat at Thursday night's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Brooklyn. The Coldplay frontman came onstage - without his wedding ring and noticeably tan (likely from his recent trip to the Bahamas with estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow - to induct singer Peter Gabriel into the Hall of Fame. "I could't be more thrilled to be here," said a good-humored Martin as he presented the "In Your Eyes" singer with the award. Laughing throughout his speech for the most part, Martin grew a bit more serious when he said,...

The ending of "Say Anything..." has secured its place in pop culture as a symbol of romantic hope, mostly remembered as that movie with that scene where John Cusack blares Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" from a boombox he holds over his head. But what if what was playing was something very different? Like, really different?
Say, I don't know, The Beach Boys' "Kokomo"?
Shout out to Mandatory, who posted this re-imagining of the classic scene. It plays out subtly at first, but the longer you watch, the more you grow to appreciate just how hilariously different this classic moment could have played out had the song been, say, anything else.

This drab record of Peter Gabriel's recent tour sees him take a sledgehammer to the excitement of his mid-80s heyday
As Sledgehammer illustrates, Peter Gabriel's album So stands as a repository of irresistibly alert mid-80s pop, but this record of the singer's current retrospective tour sees its songs stuffed and mounted in disappointingly drab surrounds. For most of its duration, we're watching baldy men dressed in black against a black backdrop, being stalked by revolving light rigs that resemble crap Transformers. Song-by-song, you'd almost always take the videos that entered into MTV perma-rotation over anything attempted here – and lovely though In Your Eyes remains, Gabriel and guitarists' synchronised dad-dancing to it isn't likely to supplant John Cusack's last stand in Say Anything... in the cinematic memory.

We’ve reached the near mid-point of this Definitive List; 20 down, 30 to go. As we move forward, the story of “boy meets girl” becomes more complicated, as plenty of stumbling blocks stand in the way: lack of experience, insecurity, unsupportive parents, and, as in most cases, ego. So, when we watch all these films, what do we learn? Hundreds of romantic comedies end happily, but none end in the same way. Perhaps there’s a method to the madness, but the more we tread through these highlights, the more it’s clear that to make an impact, you have to change the game or perfect the existing one.

You guys, I’m going to be honest with you: If you have to sit through an hour-long half-episode of The Sing-Off, the absolute worst time to do it is in between a Dismemberment Plan concert and the discovery that Beyoncé has dropped a new album. An innovative and underappreciated band coming back on its own terms on one side, the world’s biggest artist brilliantly subverting the hype machine on the other. And in between, a show that could do either of those things and does neither. Tonight has brought me some sneakily sublime musical experiences, and they highlight the flaws of The Sing-Off, a show that could be great if it would just stop trying to be big.We begin, as we must, with a group number. The remaining groups take on Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” in a way that is vocally beautiful but clunkily overstaged.

The Sing-Off doesn’t care if you understand when their show is on, for how long it’s on or if you think it’s crazy that they put all of their best teams up against one another in one episode. When you’ve stared cancellation in the eye and made it back to harmonize another day, you do whatever the F-clef you want! I liked that The Sing-Off went even more rogue than usual Thursday night; the hour-long episode was the perfect palate cleanser after two kind of exhausting two-hour spots this week.

The Sing-Off returned for an hour show on Thursday, which saw four of the eight remaining a cappella teams compete for spots in the final six. Ten, AcoUstiKats, Street Corner Renaissance and The Filharmonic were all on deck.
Following a group performance of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” the groups kicked off the “Number One Hits”-themed night.
Sing-Off Recap: Ten, 'Chain of Fools'
First up was Ten, the group that formed just fairly recently. Coached by Shawn Stockman, they took on Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools” and did an incredible job. The judges noted that while they started off towards the bottom, the way that they’re coming together is making them a contender.

Riddick also known to fans as Riddick 3 is the third movie installment in the highly regarded series that launched with Pitch Black (2000) and was followed up with The Chronicles of Riddick (2004). Vin Diesel reprises the title role and teams up once again with director and writer David Twohy for this highly anticipated movie.
The plot focuses on the anti-hero Riddick; he has been left for dead on a desert planet where he finds himself fighting for his life against alien predators far more viscious than any human he has ever faced. Riddick is forced to use a beacon to alert the very bounty hunters he has been evading to come and collect him as this is the only way he can possibly escape.
The mercs that arrive are even more lethal than any Riddick has faced before, and onboard one of the ships is a captain who has a very personal score to settle.

5) Houses “Beginnings”
The latest video from Houses is equally melancholic as “The Beauty Surrounds”, but is also a nice contrast. In the previous video the audience can watch frontman Dexter Tortoriello build a tent in the desert and long for absent Megan Messina. Both visually marvelous, “Beginnings” – the first track off their forthcoming album A Quiet Darkness out 16th April – is a stunning slow-motion video that shows Messina smiling into the camera as she leans her head out of a car window. Admittedly not an awful lot is happening but it somehow works really well with the track.

The "Glee" gang celebrated its 500th song on Thursday night's (March 7) episode, which featured Mr. Schuester assigning songs of the movies to the kids.
It stemmed from a post-being-left-at-the-altar dream that Will had, wherein he sang "You're All The World to Me" with his former bride-to-be Emma. In case you're curious, that song is from the movie "Royal Wedding" starring Fred Astaire, which featured the (at the time) revolutionary filmmaking technique of having Astaire dance on the walls and ceiling of the room he was in by having a custom-built set that rolled on an axis along with an attached camera and camera operator.
We hope "Glee" did it the same way.
The show also featured "Shout" from "Animal House," "Come What May" from "Moulin Rouge," a mash-up of "Danger Zone" from "Top Gun" and "Old Time Rock 'n Roll" from "Risky Business," which was surprisingly a lot of fun,...

Ryan Murphy, are you seeing this? You may want to get Jane Lynch to do more rapping on ‘Glee,’ because she’s a pro! See the video!
Jane Lynch made a guest appearance on Conan on March 4, where she was asked about attending Elton John’s Oscars party. Her story quickly turned into a celebration of her rapping skills!
“It’s celeb city. It’s so so awesome. You have Steven Tyler over here. Nicki Minaj was at the table next to us and I did a Nicki Minaj song on Glee,” Jane told Conan O’Brien.
Of course, Conan pressed the actress to do an encore on his show. Shockingly, Jane still remembers all the words!
“That’s fantastic!” Conan said after she finished a rap verse. “I know, it took me so long. I worked so hard on that,” Jane said proudly. She added that no one would...

It's been a couple of weeks since "Glee" left us with a couple of rather major cliffhangers. What happened to Emma (Jayma Mays)? Is Rachel (Lea Michele) pregnant? Is Finn (Cory Monteith) the father?
Maybe the musical tracks from the upcoming episode, "Girls (and Boys) on Film" will hold some answers. If not, it's at least fun to hear music from such movies as "Moulin Rouge," "Footloose," "Top Gun," "Ghost" and "Animal House."
We start with one of the biggest songs from a film, "Footloose," performed by Artie (Kevin McHale), Sam (Chord Overstreet), Joe (Samuel Larsen) and the rest of New Directions.
Next up are a pair of tunes from the Baz Luhrmann musical, "Moulin Rouge." Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss) duet on "Come What May," while Marley (Melissa Benoist) and Unique (Alex Newell) take a medley of "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" and "Material Girl."

For a filmmaker, it’s rare to make a real impact with your debut feature. Most of the time, you begin your career with a calling-card movie or a work that doesn’t fully express your true talent. There are, however, certain instances when a director is able to wow audiences and leave his or her mark on the film world right from the get-go.
This year, we’ve seen Benh Zeitlin make his debut with a film that many absolutely love in Beasts of the Southern Wild. Zeitlin’s freshman feature has been mentioned as one of the top debuts by a filmmaker in some time, so that got me thinking: What are the 10 best of all time?
Of course, there’s some level of subjectivity to this kind of a list. If I were strictly going off of my personal favorite debuts, people such as Judd Apatow,...

In the latest episode of Modern Family, I found out something that made me love Phil Dunphy even more than I already do. That's, right guys, in "When a Tree Falls" we found out that Phil once pulled a Lloyd Dobler.
As a massive Say Anything fan, I can fully appreciate Phil's attempt to woo Claire back in the day by using the boom box-over-the head move. Even if he substituted an Olivia Newton John pop song for Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," I still give credit where credit it's due.
That said, Jay Pritchett you owe that man a boom box!
Well... you know what? I'm gonna say they called it even after Phil aggressively punched the crap out of Jay during their oversized glove boxing match. I also found that to be totally unbelievable. It was a sucker punch. Jay could kick Phil's ass at any age,...

Chicago – I’m a little biased when it comes to analyzing a documentary about Peter Gabriel. He’s one of the most important musicians of all time, particularly in the way he blended world music and pop in the ’80s, an art form that reached a peak with the timeless “So,” the latest recording analyzed in Eagle Rock’s award-winning “Classic Albums” series of Blu-rays and DVDs. In hindsight, the production is missing a few key players but those who do come to talk about “So” do so with love and insight.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The major contributors to “Classic Albums: Peter Gabriel: So” are journalist David Fricke, producer Daniel Lanois, and, most interestingly, Gabriel himself. The interviews alternate from the kind of in-depth material that will impress musicians themselves, such as the way the drums were mixed, and the anecdotes that will be of interest to anyone (like the fact...

It’s one of the most iconic moments on screen — especially for those of us who came to expect our own boyfriends to be as smitten and thoughtful as Say Anything’s Lloyd Dobler. So to see John Cusack hand a boombox (alas, he doesn’t hold it above his head!) to Peter Gabriel during a concert in Los Angeles over the weekend, right before Gabriel dove into “In Your Eyes” — which millions of moviegoers now associate with director Cameron Crowe famous scene — was quite a treat.
Cusack hasn’t always been comfortable playing into that magical movie moment. In a 2009 MTV interview,...

John Cusack partook in a "Say Anything ..." reunion over the weekend when the actor joined Peter Gabriel on stage during a performance of "In Your Eyes." Past, present and future Diane Courts, begin swooning now.
As Gabriel -- who is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his breakout album So by playing the record in order during live shows -- began "In Your Eyes," Cusack walked onto the stage and handed Gabriel a boombox. The moment recalled the iconic scene in Cameron Crowe's "In Your Eyes," when Cusack's Lloyd Dobler stands outside the window of his ex-girlfriend Diane (Ione Skye) while holding a boom box playing "In Your Eyes" over his head. (The song held special meaning for the couple, which you know since you've seen "Say Anything ..." a million times.)
For his part, Cusack has never shied away from his breakout role.

One of the most iconic ‘80s movie moments by one of the most iconic ’80s movie stars is in 1989’s Say Anything. John Cusack’s Lloyd Dobler, in a last-ditch attempt at wooing the girl of his dreams, hoists a boombox over his head blasting Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” Even people who haven’t seen the movie likely know the scene....

"Peter Gabriel and John Cusack on stage together at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. Won't forget that… ever," tweeted Say Anything director Cameron Crowe soon after watching a warm tribute to one of the most iconic moments from his or any other movie during Saturday night Back To Front concert, where Gabriel performed his seminal album So in its entirety and invited Lloyd Dobler himself on stage to hand over (you guessed it) a boombox during the opening of "In Your Eyes."

Two decades after starring as the adorable Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything, John Cusack is still making the ladies swoon. Cusack attempted to recreate his famous boombox scene from the 1989 movie while on stage with Peter Gabriel this weekend.
The audience at the Hollywood Bowl Saturday night went wild when the actor hit the stage carrying a huge radio. Gabriel then went on to perform his beloved track In Your Eyes, the song Cusack's character Dobler played for his girlfriend Diane (Ione Skye) outside her bedroom.
Say Anything director Cameron Crowe was also in the audience, and tweeted: "Peter Gabriel and John Cusack on stage together at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. Won't forget that... ever." Cusack, 46, responded to the tweet, adding: "And I will never forget Cameron!"...

We’re pretty sure there were a couple of decades in which both John Cusack and Peter Gabriel were a little sick of people imitating that whole boombox-in-the-air scene from Say Anything. But when Gabriel celebrated the 25th anniversary of his album So, Cusack gave in to our collective nostalgia for the 1989 movie, stepping onstage to deliver a boombox to the singer as his band played opening bars of “In Your Eyes.”
It was a cute, brief interlude. But what really gets us about this exchange is what happened afterwards. Cameron Crowe, the writer/director of Say Anything, tweeted about it, and Cusack responded:
Then he added, “If I were u I would follow @CameronCrowe and occasionally suggest we work together again – was so happy to see him last night at gabriel.”
Um, wow. If this isn’t a call out for every straight girl in the world to rise...

We all know this already, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the body that votes for the Oscars, has a tendency to screw up and make horrible decisions. They may not be as bad as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the body that decides the Grammy awards (Lionel Richie over “Born in the U.S.A.” and “Purple Rain?” Seriously?), but they have their fair share of blunders.
1989 is a particularly glaring example. The Best Picture lineup was lackluster. It comprised of “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Dead Poet’s Society,” “Field of Dreams” and “My Left Foot.” There’s not a necessarily bad film in the bunch, except for the eventual winner “Driving Miss Daisy.” Yet there were several much superior films from that year that should have found themselves in the hunt for the Best Picture prize, like, say, Kenneth Branagh’s powerful interpretation of “Henry V.

This week on Dead Air Shawn Savage and Jeff Konopka tackle the new Tim Burton feature Dark Shadows. While I do not believe either gentleman was a fan of the original or simply have not had the chance to get into it, each found something to appreciate about the movie. It’s not a perfect movie by any measure. With the recent loss of Jonathon Frid I hope it at least gets noticed by a few folks who would like to celebrate the life of the great horror soap opera of the recent age. I myself will be waiting for it to arrive safely on cable television where I already pay too much anyway rather than spending another dollar at the theater for a potentially sub-par release. I myself am just a wee itty bitty fan boy of the original. Having your heartbroken at no additional charge is always better...

“If I have to bring it down to one defining moment, I’d say, ‘One dimensional.’ That’s when the game changed,” The Voice contestant Tony Lucca told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday. The former Mickey Mouse Club cast member was referring to a comment from coach Christina Aguilera after his performance of “In Your Eyes” several weeks ago. Never one to mince words, Aguilera had called Lucca "one-dimensional" and also implied that Lucca may have an unfair advantage because of support from fellow former Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake.

It’s hard to write about Julia Dyer’s The Playroom without writing about the passage of time. It’s been sixteen-years since Dyer’s previous (and first) film, the Sundance hit Late Bloomers, and Dyer has finally crafted a proper follow-up. But beyond that, the film itself is quite concerned with the changes in attitude and perspective that time renders. Set in 1970s suburbia, The Playroom tells the story of a dysfunctional, alcohol-fueled dinner party, while also showing the same night through the eyes of a group of kids upstairs in the house’s attic. Premiering this week in Tribeca’s Spotlight section, the film features an especially strong ensemble that includes John Hawkes, Molly Parker, and Olivia Harris.
Filmmaker: Obviously it’s been a long time since Late Bloomers. In your eyes, how has the independent film landscape changed since that movie was released?
Dyer: In many ways,...

"Say Anything" was not particularly successful on its release. John Cusack was an established star of films like "The Sure Thing," but co-star Ione Skye was basically unknown, and director Cameron Crowe was, despite his writing credit on "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" eight years earlier, not a known quantity. As such, despite rave reviews, it only took $20 million at the domestic box office, and a meagre $733,000 internationally -- indeed, in many territories, like the U.K, it went straight to video.
But over time, partly thanks to the success of Crowe's later work like "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous," and partly because of the slow realization of its brilliance, the rom-com -- which follows the fledgling relationship between ambition-free aspiring kickboxer Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) and valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye), whose father (John Mahoney) is in trouble with the law -- has become one of the most beloved...

Adam Levine and Blake Shelton may have been the co-winners of the battle to deliver the best one-liner on this week’s episode of The Voice, but in a surprise turn of events, they lost the war of taking home Most Valuable Judge trophy to Christina Aguilera.
Oh, sure, Blake’s “I almost threw my panties on the stage” was a priceless response to James Massone’s lady-baiting rendition of “Don’t Know Why.” And Adam hit the bullseye poking fun at Blake’s consternation over a group of shirtless male backup dancers: ”I think that Blake just bought a one-way ticket to Boner Town.

Have you noticed yourself fast-forwarding through Adam Levine's critiques on The Voice and waiting patiently for Christina Aguilera to speak? Have you noticed that's an absolutely insane scenario? Because I'm doing it too. And I'm scared.
Christina Aguilera has become the show's least sympathetic and/or sentimental panelist. She's thoroughly genuine, and even if she doesn't reach the caliber of my favorite 10 reality judges, she's exactly what The Voice needs: unflinching truth-telling. I hope she keeps it up in the weeks to come. Not just because it's entertaining (How about when she smacked Down her former Mousketeer buddy Tony Lucca?), but because it heightens the show's stakes. Fear this dirrty, caterwauling diva, contestants.
The Voice's second week of live rounds proved to be a mixed bag ranging from towering renditions of rock classics to meek attempts at dated pop songs. Let's invade and grade 'em all.

The second week of live performances on "The Voice" (Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Et on NBC) wasn't exactly riveting, but, as Carson Daly states at the start of the episode, we can count on Cee Lo "arguably one of the best performers in the world" to jazz things up.
And he does, putting stilts, light-up masks and shirtless Egyptians in his team's performances. Also, Purrfect reemerged, happily disproving our theory that she was used to make Cee Lo's wig last week.
Too dark for you? Just wait for Christina Aguilera to tear into Tony Lucca and for Tony Vincent's performance.

The Voice returned for part two of the Top 24, treating the audience to a couple of outstanding performances, a few horrendous ones, a one-way ticket to Bonertown courtesy of Adam Levine, and a cheap shot like none other from Christina Aguilera to Tony Lucca.

Adam wanted her to get away from sounding like Adele. Well, no one was going to confuse her voice with Adele's here. This was a solid performance, but nothing I would write home about for the first performance of the night.
Xtina said Katrina's voice really captivated her, but wanted her to rock out more and said there were a few pitchy notes. Cee Lo loved the staging, and then rambled on about the Smashing Pumpkins. Adam thought she killed it.

While assessing your life, consider that Tyra Banks is now a Harvard graduate.
Of course, we had a couple of highly significant developments in the fight for marriage equality yesterday. The Maryland senate approved marriage equality and sent the bill to the governor's desk, and he is expected to sign it. That will start the clock for opponents to begin gathering signatures to put repeal on the ballot.
