Next interviews: Got questions for Joss Whedon? And Nathan Fillion?
Yeah, I’ve seen “Much Ado About Nothing,” and that’s primarily what we’ll be talking about. Joss shot it, in black and white, at his house. Which is big and rambling, but not ostentatious. Very homey. And Nathan plays Dogberry, the … Continue reading

Wednesday’s first screening, “Much Ado About Whedon”
Joss Whedon’s modern-dress, black and white, shot in his house take on Shakespeare’s delightful play has a lot of Whedon’s “usual suspects” — Nathan Fillion, Clark Gregg, et al. I’m seeing it early because, well, who wouldn’t want to interview … Continue reading

Movie Preview: “The Congress” passes animated judgment on the future of acting
Robin Wright sells her soul — and her digital likeness — to a film exuc (Danny Huston) who promises her that now she will be “Forever young.” “The Congress” is eye-poppingly animated and eye-openingly provocative.
