Alec Baldwin Reviews, Interviews & More
It's hard to get a read on Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, as it looks like it could one of his more serious movies, though there are moments in the trailer that suggest there are some jokes to be found here and there (though they may not be that funny). But as great as a cast as he's assembled, as evinced above, there's something kind of crazy and awesome about Andrew...
Timing is everything, and there's nothing better than being able to follow something hugely successful with something in the same vein. It's unlikely that Dreamworks animation knew that Rise of the Guardians would have a similar "assemble the super-team" narrative as The Avengers when they started production a couple years ago (animation...
It's always tricky trying to adapt a popular musical into a spectacular film. Sometimes you'll create a fun flick like Mamma Mia!, while other times you'll end up with a mess like Nine. Rock of Ages delivers a movie musical that can't carry a narrative tune. It has all the visual glitz and the glamour of the hit show...
Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Bee- oh, okay, better not... but you've probably got an idea what this is about. That’s right; while out and about promoting Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie in Los Angeles on Friday, Tim Burton was able to shed some light on the emerging script for the long-awaited Beetlejuice sequel, Beetlejuice 2.
Sometimes regression is progression, especially on 30 Rock. While Jenna has moved on from Paul and Liz has moved on from the idea of being a foster mom, both spent last night’s episode wondering if they’d really made the right choice. Meanwhile Jack’s attempt to broaden Kabletown’s horizons threatens to blow up in his face after his cottage industry turns out more torture...
Alec Baldwin isn’t exactly known as the most reliable source of information on the longevity of 30 Rock, the NBC comedy in which he stars, as the actor has frequently mused and Tweeted that each new season for the show would be either its, or his, last for NBC. In fact, just this time last year, the famously cantankerous star came under fire for announcing that 30 Rock...
30 Rock continues to churn out shows this year, as the NBC comedy aired its 17th episode in just 13 weeks. This week’s episode went back to a few occasionally touched upon subplots. We get more insight into Jack’s prickly relationship with his mother, Tracy’s non-existent relationship with his son, and Jenna’s weird relationship with her boyfriend Paul. How...
It would be interesting if Woody Allen's To Rome With Love was his capper to a foreign city trilogy. He recently made Vicky Christina Barcelona, and last year's Midnight in Paris, so why not? Rome stars Allen, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig and Ellen...
In what amounts to a fairy-tale version of The Avengers, DreamWorks new film Rise of the Guardians assembles The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin), The Sandman, and The Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman) to fight against the Boogeyman, Pitch (Jude Law). There's no word if The Skrulls are involved, though Star...
The hit musical Rock of Ages took many of the kitschy but lovably sincere rock anthems of the 1980's and Broadway-ized them. So who better to head up the film adaptation than Adam Shankman, who gave Hairspray a similar stage-to-screen treatment? The film - which stars Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul...
Well, you’ve got to give it to him—Alec Baldwin might be an entitled jerk prone to highly public temper tantrums, but he’s a funny and charming entitled jerk prone to highly public temper tantrums. In case you didn’t catch it last week, Baldwin was booted from an American Airlines flight because he refused to turn off his electronic device upon which he was playing Words...
American Airlines might want to think about hiring a new PR firm—after news broke over the past week that the airline’s parent company AMR would be filing for bankruptcy, along with the fact that they are being sued for a bad airline meal that allegedly killed a passenger, AA is in the news again, this time for kicking actor Alec Baldwin off of a Los Angeles to New York...
In September, Alec Baldwin is going to do one of the things he does best, host "Saturday Night Life." The show will return for its 37th season on the 24th of that month, and the "30 Rock" star will host for the 16th time, making him SNL's top host. He's the SNL cast member that never was.
This week's episode of "30 Rock" brings in two very special guests from the world of politics. Ok, to be fair, one of those "guests" is merely an actor impersonating a famed political figure, but the performance is so frighteningly spot-on that we'd be safe in pretending that it was the real thing. Sadly, the other guest didn't quite deliver the goods, but that doesn't ruin...
"30 Rock" is so attractive to fans of comedy because the writing is extremely sharp, reminding viewers that what goes on behind the camera is just as important as what goes on in front of it. Luckily, this week, both elements were pretty strong, and while there were a few missteps along the way, it generally made for a good half hour of entertainment.
When he’s not busy declaring that he’s retiring, that he’s quitting 30 Rock, and that 30 Rock itself is going off the air before not retiring, not quitting 30 Rock, and 30 Rock staying on the air, Alec Baldwin still takes time off from his busy schedule to act here and there. His newest project? Woody Allen’s new film.
Yesterday, we reported that Alec Baldwin had announced that 30 Rock will be ending next year due to contract expirations. And today, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the 30 Rock star has come under fire for making the announcement, and is scrambling to backtrack.
Well, fans of excellent television might have a reason or two to lament 2012 (aside from it being the end of the world, according to all the billboards I’ve been seeing lately)—according to Alec Baldwin, the next season of 30 Rock will be (brace yourselves) the last!
Well, Alec Baldwin’s been shoring up some good karma lately—after donating more than a million dollars to the arts lately, the veteran actor just picked up a trophy at the first-ever Comedy Awards.
"30 Rock" is the best kind of sitcom: one that lets us know that the writers are just as important as the actors. As we slowly (and thankfully) say goodbye to laugh tracks on our TV shows, it's up to the writing staff to deliver comedy that is actually funny. Last night's episode was another one that harped on this fact, but dammit, it's difficult to harp on it enough.
