“The Light Between Oceans,” September 2
Derek Cianfrance’s sweet spot is relationship dramas that don’t balk at showing just how damn hard it can be to love someone and to sustain that love (hi, “Blue Valentine”), and with his big screen adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name, he takes those interests and skills right to a post-World War I landscape tailormade for a sweeping,...

It’s been a couple months since the last edition of What’s Up Doc? placed Michael Moore’s surprise world premiere of Where To Invade Next at the top of this list and in the meantime much shuffling has taken place and much time has been spent on various new endeavors (namely my Buffalo-based film series, Cultivate Cinema Circle). Finally taking its rightful place at the top, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hagedus’ Unlocking the Cage is in the midst of being scored by composer James Lavino, according to Lavino’s own personal site. Though the project has been taking shape at its own leisurely pace, I’d expect to see the film making its festival debut in early 2016.

The fall festival rush is upon us. Locarno is currently ramping up. Venice has released their line-up and Thom Powers and the Toronto International Film Festival team have dropped a bomb with a previously unannounced new feature from powerhouse docu-provocateur Michael Moore. It is truly a miracle that the production of a film such as Moore’s upcoming Where To Invade Next (see still above) managed to go completely undetected by the filmmaking community until it was literally announced to world premiere at one of the largest film festivals in the world. Programmed as a one of the key films in the Special Presentations section at Tiff, the film sees Moore telling “the Pentagon to ‘stand down’ — he will do the invading for America from now on.” Also announced to premiere at Tiff was Avi Lewis’ This Changes Everything, which has slowly been rising up this list, as well as...

Jerry Lewis Max Rose panned: Cannes Film Festival 2013 Jerry Lewis and Charles Chaplin both made comedies. What else do they have in common? One possible answer: Claire Bloom, Chaplin’s Limelight "discovery" (Bloom had already been featured in the 1948 British drama The Blind Goddess) and Lewis’ leading lady in Max Rose. (Photo: Jerry Lewis in Max Rose.) Jerry Lewis’ first movie since Funny Bones (1995), Max Rose was screened yesterday at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Written and directed by Daniel Noah, whose previous directorial effort was the little-seen 2001 thriller Twelve, Max Rose stars the 87-year-old Lewis in the title role: a former jazz pianist who, following the death of his wife (Claire Bloom), discovers that his marriage may have been less than ideally monogamous. Max Rose: Jerry Lewis’ ‘best script in 40 years’ — critics, however, considerably less impressed At the 2013 Cannes press conference, Jerry Lewis called Max Rose the “best script I read in 40 years,...

The 6th annual Art House Convergence, the only yearly meeting of independent art house movie theater owners and operators in the Us and Canada will be held January 14-17, 2013 in Midway, Utah. Presented in cooperation with Sundance Institute, this annual conference features inspirational speakers, informative sessions and enlightening panel discussions by industry leaders. University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor and author David Bordwell and Emerging Pictures Managing Partner Ira Deutchman will be among the keynote speakers at this event, while filmmaker/marketer/distributor Ava DuVernay, renegade auteur Crispin Hellion Glover, and Alamo Drafthouse Founder & CEO Tim League will be among the many participating in Convergence presentations.
Since it originated in 2008, the Art House Convergence has doubled in size each year and has evolved into a leading national resource for the support of independent film and the promotion of film culture in local communities. Past keynote speakers have included Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper; film producer Ted Hope; and filmmaker Michael Moore. In 2012, over three hundred people gathered from thirty-six states, Washington, D.C. and Toronto.
This year, over twenty sessions and panel discussions will cover a wide range of topics including increasing and engaging audiences through film education, new media marketing, digital cinema, fundraising, programming, and financial management.
Highlights include:
Midnight Movies: Innovative Ways to Attract Audiences Managing with Metrics: Lessons from Tim League and the Alamo Drafthouse Race & Diversity in the Art House, with Ava DuVernay and other panelists Digital Cinema Update: Surviving the Transition & Avoiding the Traps A performance by renegade auteur Crispin Hellion Glover Driving Marketing for Films Without Major Studio Backing The Non-Profit Art House: The Modern Sustainable Model Case Study: Fund Raising and Installing Digital Cinema at the County Theatre Repertory Film Programming: Good Old Films, Great New Audiences Increasing Leadership Resilience and Minimizing Burnout, with Dewey Schott The Digital Art House: Lessons and Experiences From Europe
““O Wonder! How many goodly creatures are there [at the Convergence]! How beauteous [humanity] is! O brave new world that has such people in’t.” I think if Shakespeare had written about the Art House Convergence, he would have written this!” says Convergence Director, Russ Collins; “Silly metaphors aside, Art House cinema operators are truly the goodly creatures of cinema exhibition. In cities both large and small, they daily present the brave new creations of cinema artists from around the globe for the benefit and wonder of their communities. Annually, these Art Houses operators gather in Utah, in January, just before the start of the Sundance Film Festival to learn, share, commiserate and be inspired at this acclaimed conference. We look forward to all of our colleagues from specialty film theaters across North America joining us January 14-17 at the 2013 Art House Convergence.”

About the Sundance Institute Art House Project & Art House Convergence
In 2005, the Sundance Institute Art House Project was created to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Sundance Institute by honoring Art House theatres. Twelve representative art house theatres from around the country were designated as Sundance Institute Art House Project theatres. Representatives from each theatre were invited to attend the festival to gain further insight into the scope and scale of independent cinema worldwide. The group realized the benefits of an ongoing dialogue within the art house community and in 2008 presented the first Art House Convergence, an industry educational program designed to empower and inform independent cinemas nationwide. The growth of the Art House Convergence and its development of research, surveys and year round communication among art house theaters affirm that the organization has evolved into a leading national resource for the support of independent film and the promotion of film culture in local communities.

ABC has a slew of new shows coming, many of which need a lot of luck if they're going to last more than a handful of episodes. The schedule has been released, so let's take a lot at what's coming.
Oddly enough, as part of the new announcement, ABC has solidified the return of several more shows, including Happy Endings, despite the fact that two other networks have shows on their slate with cast members from the show. That should be interesting. Of course, it works for me, because I'm a fan.
In other news, Desperate Housewives will not die. Are you kidding me with this show still being on?
New Series - “Apartment 23,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Good Christian Belles,” “Last Man Standing,” “Man Up,” “Missing,” “Once Upon a Time,” “Pan Am,” “Revenge,” “The River,” “Scandal,” “Suburgatory” and “Work It” Join the Lineup

NBC and Fox have both unleashed their Fall 2011-2012 TV schedule, now ABC has released theirs. I’m excited to see Castle, Modern Family, and The Middle back in the mix. Most of the new shows they have line-up don’t really interest me, but there are a few that have caught my eye. PanAm is another 1960’s based TV show that will go against AMC’s Mad Men and NBC’s The Playboy Club. There’s a show called Revenge that sounds really interesting, but the new series I’m most excited about is is the fantasy series Once Upon A Time, a show where fairy tales collide with the modern day.
Here is ABC’s full schedule along with a description of all of their shows. Go through them below and let us know what TV series you’re most excited about seeing.

Tuesdays will open with a comedy hour that includes Tim Allen’s new sitcom, Last Man Standing, paired with another new comedy, Man Up. Wednesdays adds new comedy Suburgatory, plus soap thriller, Revenge, at 10 p.m., with Cougar Town shifting to midseason and Happy Endings getting the Modern Family lead-in. Charlie’s Angels will go into Thursdays at 8 p.
