In a world where having a mental disorder is treated as a hugely negative and stigmatized scenario, actor, writer, and director Paul Dalio hopes that his film, Touched With Fire, might help change people’s minds about people who are bipolar, and who have mental illnesses in general.
Starring Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby as title characters Carla and Marco, the film features two poets who are bipolar and fall in love in a hospital after getting into some trouble when trying to live on their own. Soon enough, they go through various stages of emotions and relationship statuses until they have to bring their relationship to light with their parents, played by Christine Lahti, Griffan Dunne, and Bruce Altman.

Katie is making herself feel right at Holmes (ba-dum-bump). While shooting her latest movie, Mania Days, on Tuesday, Katie Holmes was spotted on set in some oversize loungewear. Bundled in a black ski puffer over baggy yellow polka-dot pajama bottoms, Suri's mom stepped off the scene to take a quick phone call.

Being that this film regretfully begins with its ending -- then is told entirely in one long linear flashback -- it comes as absolutely no surprise that things spiral out of control after Gavin (Jesse McCartney), the jock-cum-editor of the Parker Prep newspaper, cuts 90% of Eddie's (Ezra Miller) cover story, turning it into a one paragraph fluff piece. Eddie immediately rebels by assembling a band of outsiders together to create their own newspaper with the intention of deconstructing the status quo and leveling the playing field between the cool kids and the outcasts. The problem is that Eddie is a selfish egomaniac, so when Gavin fights back via the official school newspaper, Eddie turns his own newly-minted publication into a no-holds-barred assault on Gavin. Unfortunately, this includes Eddie willingly throwing his best friends -- Evie (Zoë Kravitz), Ming (Stefanie Y. Hong), Rob (Griffin Newman) and Schneeman (Edward Gelbinovich) -- under...

Considering the rising success Louis C.K. has seen in the last few years, largely due to his Diy work ethic in Louie as well as the waves he made regarding the self distribution of his last few stand-up specials, “Late Show Part 1” is a much harder sell than the similarly autobiographical Louie segment, “Oh, Louie”, in which C.K.’s troubles with network executives in developing an honest and authentic family sitcom were depicted. The dissonance felt in “Late Show Part 1” results from the fact that both Jay Leno and a fictional CBS chairman, excellently played with an apt combination of sleaze and cunning by Gary Marshall, characterize Louie’s appearance as lead guest on The Tonight Show as the big break for which he’s been waiting his entire career. Marshall even goes so far as to say the comedian, “peaked five years ago.” This...

Where do working stand-ups go if they don't break big, if they have just enough success to keep grinding it out on the road, doing gigs around the country until they're too tired? That dark kingdom is just as significant a presence as the crazy possibility of a major late night gig in last night's episode of "Louie," the first of a three parter, "Late Show Part 1." Louie (Louis C.K.) gets flown to Los Angeles with his pre-adolescent agent Doug (Edward Gelbinovich) where he's going to close out "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." He warms up with his four-and-a-half minute bit at the Improv the night before, a solid and thematically relevant piece about the luxuries and burdens of consumerism, and how "life is good, and so we want it to be better." His biggest worry is that he's going to be bumped, because the main guest on the...

The Gonzo we are cautioned about in Beware the Gonzo is Eddie "Gonzo" Gilman, an intense prep-academy student who believes his school newspaper can right wrongs and fight injustice. It can't, really, but he's not the first student journalist to suffer from a surplus of idealism. He might be the first to single-handedly bring down a school cafeteria, though.
Gonzo is played by Ezra Miller, who looks like a Justin Long-Jimmy Fallon hybrid and has a smirking delivery reminiscent of Christian Slater in Heathers. A senior at Parker Prep, Gonzo intends to study journalism at Columbia next year, but he's been beaten for the editor-in-chief position at the Parker Courier by Gavin Reilly (Jesse McCartney), a smug golden boy who excels at sports, academics, and date rape. When Reilly kills a story Gonzo wrote about bullying to protect his athlete buddies, Gonzo does what outraged high-school journalists have...

Title: Beware The Gonzo Directed By: Bryan Goluboff Starring: Ezra Miller, Jesse McCartney, Zoe Kravitz, Griffin Newman, Edward Gelbinovich, Stefanie Y. Hong, Amy Sedaris, Campbell Scott, James Urbaniak It’s characters like Gonzo Gilman that make you wonder if you accomplished anything that great in high school. Yes, good grades and a slew of extracurricular activities get you into college, but what about the things that make a difference and make a lasting impact? High school administrators are lucky Beware The Gonzo is only a movie, otherwise there’s a good chance the education system would come crumbling down. Eddie ‘Gonzo’ Gilman (Ezra Miller) is certainly not the popular kid at Parker Prep School. Not only [...]...
