Happy Birthday Clip from Woody Allen's Whatever Works
In anticipation of the upcoming release of Woody Allen's Whatever Works, Sony Pictures Classics has debuted a new set of clips from the film. As everyone knows, I normally do not post clips, but because I loved Whatever Works and because this is more than just a standard clip (it's three strung together, as you'll see) I wanted to break my own rules to feature it today. If anything, it's a way of showing you more of Larry David as Boris Yellnikoff and how ridiculously quirky his character is in this movie. And this is all just the beginning, because it gets so much crazier in the actual movie, don't worry. Check out the clip below.Watch this new clip from Woody Allen's Whatever Works:[flv:http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/whateverworks-happybirthday.flv http://media2.firstshowing [Read more]

How is Larry David doing?
Negative certainly is a fitting description of Boris Yellnikoff, David's character in Whatever Works. A disgruntled, self-styled genius who once almost won a Nobel Prize for quantum mechanics, Boris revels in believing that he alone can perceive the desolate meaningless of existence. He has a kind of smug loathing of those people he feels don't meet his own superior intellectual standards - all 7 billion of them. [Read more]

The Instant Review: Whatever Works
The Instant Review: Whatever Works Who: Larry David manages to curb his enthusiasm enough to play Boris Yellnikoff, a cranky old guy in New York City, a failed suicide who complains endlessly (often speaking directly to the camera) about the morons, vampires and inchworms who make this planet such a hellhole for a genius like him. But when he meets Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood), a homeless girl from the South, he gives her a home and later marries her, inspiring her parents (an excellent Patrici [Read more]

No 'Curb' Appeal: David-Allen Combo Doesn't Produce Much Enthusiasm
By Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News, N.Y. Jul. 3--There's a legendary story about Larry David when he was just a stand-up comic -- long before, that is, he cocreated Seinfeld and bequeathed Curb Your Enthusiasm to a needful world. He was, it seems, famous for walking up to the mic at comedy clubs, surveying the crowd with contempt and then immediately turning around and walking off after saying, What's the use? I can't do this. Whatever Works, then, is, in theory, a marriage made in comed [Read more]

Movie Review: Visioneers Starring Zach Galifianakis (Man Vs
I?m always interested to see new and young filmmakers debut with movies that work as deliberate going-for-it breaks against the plundered, dark world of corporate offices and cubicles. It's a cinematic oath that veers upon new tradition. With Visioneers, the Drake Brothers are invested in seeing Winsterhammerman find what he needs in life, and it involves little trial and much tribulation. Money is not really a factor, which will earn a few eye rolls given the current climate of overdraft fees. [Read more]

Whatever Works
Writer/director Woody Allen (“Match Point”) is a reluctant cynic. Although his worldview is bleak, he has sentimental streak that softens his edge considerably.He sums up his personal philosophy with his latest film, “Whatever Works”: Anything that you can do to find a modicum of happiness in this life is okay…so long as you don't hurt anyone.As is usual with Allen's films, when he doesn't appear himself, he casts another actor in the part he would have filled. In this case, Larry Davi [Read more]

Whatever Works (Sony Pictures Classics, PG-13)
The story is a rehash of the Allen formula: A cranky Jewish guy (Boris Yellnikoff, played with an emphasis on the yell by Larry David) well past his prime somehow manages to live well without working, maintains a circle of loyal friends despite his self-centered unpleasantness, and has a beautiful and innocent girl (Melodie St. Anne Celestine, played by Evan Rachel Wood) perhaps one-third his age fall in love with him. Allen ups the ante this time around by having Melodie leave Boris, only to [Read more]

R&B star's wife startled by divorce
The wife of R&B singer Usher was surprised when the entertainer filed for divorce last month and claims the two were intimate less than a week before he moved to end the marriage, court documents said. Tameka Raymond, 38, disputes Usher’s claims the couple have been separated since July 2008. She said in court documents in Fulton County (Ga.)
