Set Up

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this crime action film, Willis plays a mob boss named Jack Biggs. When one friend betrays two others in the middle of a diamond heist, Biggs helps the surviving partner Sonny – played by the film’s producer 50 Cent – seek revenge on the traitor. This is the first movie for Willis, and the third for 50 Cent, to go straight from production to DVD without showing in theaters. Director Mike Gunther on Willis:

He is a rock star. He shows up, he just does his thing. Really, to be honest, there ain’t much directing I’m doing. He’s like ‘Kid, don’t worry. I got it handled.’ He is a great guy. I mean a class act, and the opportunity to work with him was, I mean, beyond awesome. …I just said ‘Action’ and ‘Cut.’  So it was entertaining for me just to watch the monitor and watch him…just do his thing and you’re like ‘Holy s###, you’re good,” so it was kinda a dream come true.

New Girl

TV Appearance0 Comments

Deschanel stars in the sitcom New Girl on the Fox network. She plays Jessica Day, a quirky but passionate school teacher who moves to a loft with three guys after being dumped by her boyfriend. Co-starring Jake Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans, Jr., and Hannah Simone.

It’s easy to say [the show is about] a girl and three guys, but obviously with any plot, you can boil it down into something that sounds generic. I have a lot of guy friends, and they help me in different ways. But it’s less about her, as these men have their issues.

I Don’t Know How She Does It

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this comedy, directed by Douglas McGrath, Brosnan plays Jack Abelhammer. Kate Reddy struggles daily to balance the demands of her high-powered career with the needs of her husband and children. When she gets an account that requires frequent trips to New York and her husband gets a new job, Kate finds herself spread even thinner. Complicating Kate’s life even more is new business associate Abelhammer, who throws temptation into the mix. Co-starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Kelsey Grammer.

I do love the notion of the younger woman, as I’m now the older man. You see it in men, that fear that the clock is ticking, the clock is ticking, and women become more and more beautiful, every age group. It just becomes this lustfulness of yearning and want. There are just so many gorgeous women and your attitude to time and the ticking of it, and what could have been.

The Help

Film Appearance0 Comments

Spencer plays Minny Jackson, an African-American maid living and working in 1960’s Jackson, Mississippi in Tate Taylor’s The Help based on the novel by Kathryn Stockett.  The Help tells the story of African-American maids and how they view their white employers as recorded by a young, white, female author. Co-starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, and Allison Janney.

I think the “The Help” reminds us of our humanity. And it’s socially relevant even today. I think you can substitute the plight of the African-Americans and their quest for civil rights with homosexuals wanting the right to marry. Revolutions usually happen when the underserved or underclass find their situation no longer tenable. Look at Occupy Wall Street fighting for the shrinking middle class and poor, you know what I mean?
