Tina Fey Reviews, Interviews & More
Are you going through 30 Rock withdrawal? There's no need to fear because Tina Fey's currently at a theater near you. The actress, producer and writer stars in the new film Admission. Directed by Paul Weitz, and based on the book of the same name, Admission is a humorous and heartwarming character-study.
One of the many perks of seeing a Disney movie at the movie theater is that you always get a delightful snack before the big meal. By that we mean the short film that comes before the feature. These clips are filled with creativity, emotion and wonderful, unique characters. Paperman, the short that debuted in front of Wreck-It Ralph last fall, was uploaded...
Next Sunday we'll finally get what we've all been waiting for – Tina Fey and Amy Poehler making fun of Hollywood, together, in front of a bunch of drunk celebrities. A new promo, featuring the comediennes has been released, and it's just as good as the first. You can see it below, as well as a promo poster featuring the BFF's in high-top chucks. We also have a bunch of new images from movies...
In the first promo, BFF's Tina Fey and Amy Poehler give us a sneak peek at what the Golden Globes will be like on January 13th. And we cannot wait. The Globes are going to be amazing and hilarious and awesome because you just can't go wrong with hosts like these. Also, Pixar released the very first look at Monsters University. And we've got another 2012 movie-mashup video for...
Thanksgiving is nearly here, and there are a lot of things to be grateful for in the world of movies and television. We all like to poke fun at Hollywood for some of the crappy movies they invest in, and also some of the unfunny comedies that are still airing on TV, but the truth is we love this stuff. It's why we write about it. Thanksgiving is about reflecting and giving thanks, so...
Normally, screenwriters don't like to spill too many details about the scripts they're writing. But Aaron Sorkin is not your normal screenwriter. The man revealed tons of details about his Steve Jobs biopic, including when it'll take place, how many scenes there will be, and how the film will be shot. Also, the Admission trailer, starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd was...
Providing a stark contrast to the Academy Awards selecting Seth MacFarlane as their 2013 host, the Golden Globes actually got someone funny to host. Two funny people, in fact—Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, two of the funniest people on TV, with two of the funniest television programs on the air (Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, respectively).
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are creating quite a lot of buzz with their upcoming movie Silver Linings Playbook. Peter Travers even said that he predicts Lawrence will win the Oscar for her performance. The movie looks like a quirky love story between two dysfunctional characters, and the new trailer explores their personalities a bit more. Also, Adele debuted...
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...
As with every new year of television, the weakest shows that cost the most money are often cancelled after airing a handful of episodes. For example: this season, we've already seen The Playboy Club get shuttered, among others. TV shows are often about the ensemble, and most of their casts need time to work together to see how their chemistry develops over longer...
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.
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!
Tiny Fey covers a lot of ground in her new book, Bossypants ("Why is this book called Bossypants? One, because the name Two and a Half Men was already taken”), from discussing sexism and ageism in Hollywood, to her hit TV show 30 Rock, to getting advice from Oprah Winfrey. But the most interesting sections seem to deal...
"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.
Well it looks like Matt Damon is officially out of the picture on "30 Rock." It's a shame, since he did a great job in the role he was given, but we all knew that this day was coming. This week's episode lets us mourn the loss vicariously through Liz, who takes yet another romantic failure rather harshly.
"30 Rock" may not be as consistently entertaining as "Arrested Development" was, but it fills the gap that show left by providing viewers with a source of strong comedic writing. While this season has been somewhat uneven, last night's episode was a well-rounded example of high-quality humor that did what it is meant to do: keep us interested for half an...
"30 Rock" hasn't been as consistently entertaining this season as it has in the past, and most of the episodes feel unbalanced. Some jokes are fantastic, others are predictable, and others are just simply not funny. It's still good comedy television, but "30 Rock" is usually great comedy television, and it hasn't lived up to its previous four seasons thus far. Sadly,...
