MOVIES IN THE MESS HALL PRESENTS: RICHARD CROUSE W/ FLAME Tuesday August 17 6:30 PM $5 UNDERGROUND

The Drake Hotel's (1150 Queen Street West) summer movie series is back. Join us for Movies In The Mess Hall, a dinner and a movie series in the Underground. $5 admission includes a veggie Sloppy Joe, a beer, buckets of popcorn and one of our all-time favourite movies, presented by some of Toronto's fantastic writers, artists and glitterati.

Tonight, film fanatic Richard Crouse screens cult-classic SLADE IN FLAME.

SLADE IN FLAME is a 1970s rock and roll film starring the real-life Brit band 'Slade' as the fictional group 'Flame.' Watching it you'll witness the peaks and pitfalls of Flame's rise to success. BBC called it the Citizen Cane of its genre, and its soundtrack has been included as one of the 50 greatest soundtracks in movie history!
Read Richard's Sorcerer's Apprentice column from the Metro Weekender! "We can all conjure up an image of what Merlin the Magician looks like. He appears in dozens of movies, everything from the Disney cartoon Sword and the Sorcerer to Monty Python and the Holy Grail..." Read the whole thing here!

Read Richard's "supervillain checklist" Metro column! "Sometimes they are diabolical. Occasionally dastardly. They are, of course, supervillains, the evil geniuses who give Superman, Batman and other caped crusaders a reason to get up in the morning..." Read the whole thing here!

Read Richard's zoomermag.com article on John Waters and his new book Role Models! "John Waters listens to Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett’s Monster Mash every day. He claims dancing to the song keeps him happy. 'It’s even more fun to do with Kleenex boxes on your feet,' he says. 'Howard Hughes used to do that. I was fascinated by that. I thought, ‘Why did he do that?’ until I put them on one day. Do the Monster Mash in Kleenex boxes and you will not need Prozac or any kind of drug. It will put you in a good mood even if you have chemical depression...'”

Also... Check out Richard's article on movie phone apps from Metro! "The whole process of locating, watching and enjoying films has been streamlined by a series of movie apps that range in price from free to $2.99..." Read it!

COMING SOON! Thursday, July 29, 2010 Richard will host a Q&A with The Disappearance of Alice Creed star Gemma Arterton. More details to come!

COMING SOON! Tuesday August 17, 2010: Tonight Richard will host a special screening in the Drake Hotel Underground (1150 Queen Street West). Drake's summer movie series is back. Join us for Movies In The Mess Hall, a dinner and a movie series in the Underground. $5 admission includes a veggie Sloppy Joe, a beer, buckets of popcorn and one of our all-time favourite movies, presented by some of Toronto's fantastic writers, artists and glitterati.

Read Richard's cover story on Amanda Peet in the July issue of Movie Entertainment magazine! "When Amanda Peet was just three years old she made her on-stage debut, by rushing the stage from the audience during a play. “I was a big show off,” she says. Even so, the native New Yorker had a hard time convincing her family she was destined for a career in Hollywood. With no performers in her family tree the 36 year-old actress says she was considered “a little bit of a freak show” by the rest of her family..." On news stands now!

Tune into TVO's Saturday Night at the Movies on Saturday May 1, 2010 at 8 pm for the first half of a great Sidney Lumet double bill! At 8 pm it's Running on Empty, then at 10:30 pm it's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. In between at 10 pm is an interview special (featuring Richard) titled Lumet's Family Business. Here's some info from the SNAM website: "Do the strength of family ties override any social responsibility to uphold the law? The Interviews looks at two similar themed but remarkably different toned films from director Sidney Lumet. In both films, Running on Empty and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, a crime within the family is committed. To what lengths must innocent members go to protect their family name? The topic is Shakespearean in nature, yet contemporary in style and ideas. Featuring discussions with actresses Carol Kane, Jacqueline Bisset and Aleksa Palladino and film critics Kevin Courrier and Richard Crouse."

Come down and support Richard and CTVers Kris Abel and Bill Hutcheson!

Here’s a chance to make a difference in the lives of women, babies and their families in a ‘friendly’ battle of the media. Read more about it here in Kris Abel's blog.
 
Sunnybrook Foundation and the Canadian Hadassah-WIZO have joined forces to produce Funday Sunday: Toronto’s family fest; a city-wide, family friendly event, to be held November 28, 2010 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).
 
This isn’t your typical family event. Many of Toronto’s citizens (movers-and-shakers, community members, Torontonians), musicians and local personalities will be competing in a challenge - a Rock Band challenge. Each band will compete live on stage at the MTCC, and one band from each age group will be crowned as Toronto’s Ultimate Rock Band champion.
 
To kick off this event and raise awareness for the Rock Band challenge, we are inviting Toronto’s media elite to step up, form their own Rock Band team and show Toronto how much they rock.
 
Richard and CTV colleagues Kris Abel, Bill Hutchison and Michelle Dube will perform live on Tuesday, April 27 at the Toronto Eaton’s Centre in front of hundreds of pedestrians, media and more.
 
Toronto’s top media Rock Band will be automatically entered into the city wide competition on November 28, with a guaranteed performance on the main stage.

Here are the details!
 
WHAT:         Funday Sunday: Toronto’s family fest presents Rock Band media challenge

DATE:         Tuesday, April 27, 2010 @ 10:30AM
                 
WHERE:          Toronto Eaton’s Centre (outside entrance to Sears)

All money raised will de divided equally between Sunnybrook and the Canadian Hadassah-WIZO. Sunnybrook funds will support the construction of the province’s most advanced facility for births and high-risk pregnancies, scheduled to open September 12. Hadassah-WIZO funds will support Children, Women & Healthcare, both in Canada and overseas.

WINNIE THE POOH’S EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY:
David Benedictus & Mark Burgess – Return to the Hundred Acre Wood

It is the eightieth anniversary of The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne. To mark the occasion, the Trustees of The Pooh Properties have for the first time approved a companion volume to Milne’s classic tales featuring Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh and their friends in the Hundred Acre-Wood. Author David Benedictus has created Return to the Hundred Acre Wood (Penguin Group Canada) a collection of stories in the style of A.A. Milne. And Mark Burgess has provided illustrations in the style of E.H. Shephard.  In other words, Benedictus and Burgess have remained faithful to the much cherished vintage Pooh and eschewed the bothersome Disney variation.

We will celebrate the launch of Return to the Hundred Acre Wood with an eightieth birthday party for the beloved ‘Silly old Bear’. Celebrity readers (including Richard Crouse) will present a handful of his new adventures. Benedictus will address the crowd from England by video, and tell them that he couldn’t attend himself but sent a ‘special friend’ in his place. Don Kerr & Friends will perform classic and new songs. There will be activities based on such old standbys as ‘Pin the tail on Eeyore’ and the ‘Piglet toss’. Kids will create a giant birthday card and present it to none other than Pooh himself. And, of course, there will be a cake and honey!

"Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs should be titled Ice Age: Pray for Extinction; extinction for this lame animated franchise that has inexplicably limped along since 2002, spawning three movies, a couple of direct-to-video titles and several video games. These well intentioned, but dull movies (Ice Age and Ice Age 2: The Meltdown) are more an excuse to sell stuffed toys than to entertain. The new film is more of the same, introducing several new characters which seem primed and ready to take their place on toy store shelves in the movie swag section..."

Tune into Canada AM this morning to see Richard's interview with Chéri stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend. From IMDB: Chéri is a romantic drama set in 1920s Paris, where the son of a courtesan retreats into a fantasy world after being forced to end his relationship with the older woman who educated him in the ways of love.

"Long before I saw the Statue of Liberty in person I felt like a New Yorker. Woody Allen’s movies were my initiation and his romantic, idealized view of the Big Apple planted the seed for my longtime love of the city.

His latest film, Whatever Works, is the first of Allen’s films to be set in Manhattan in four years, and you get the sense he’s glad to be home. It’s his love letter to the city, showcasing only-in-New-York locations like Chinatown’s fish markets and the Yonah Schimmel Knishery (137 E. Houston St. near 1st Ave., 212-477-2858).

The movie will make you want to jump on a NYC-bound plane ASAP, which is exactly what I did..."

"Terminator: Salvation is the fourth film in the famous franchise, following the first two classic installments and one not-so-classic episode. It is the movie set that gave us the famous tape of Christian Bale bawling out a hapless crew member with language far too colorful to use here and, confusingly, it is also both a sequel and a prequel to the previous movies. Directed by McG (yup, that’s the name his parents call him) it is a bigger, louder version of the Terminator tale, and the first film in the series to receive the PG-13 certificate in the United States, but is it the best of the bunch?..." Read the rest of Richard's review of the movie here!

Richard's Picks
May 22 – May 29

Website: For those who don’t feel they take enough abuse in their day-to-days lives, here’s an instant verbal beat down from one of the masters of the genre, Chef Gordon Ramsey.    

Book: The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession by Adam Gollner. I’m always fascinated by people who allow their interests to become obsessions. Adam Gollner likes fruit. A lot. His love exotic fruits took him around the world to uncover a intriguing array of fantastic fruits from the coco-de-mer to a miracle berry containing a compound called miraculin that makes everything you eat afterwards taste sweet. The fruit sounds great and if I was a magician I would totally use the stage name The Amazing Miraculin!

Most Fun I Had This Week: Live band karaoke at the Cadillac Lounge (1296 Queen St. W. 416-536-7717)! The details are sketchy, but I remember a rockin’ three piece band, a teleprompter, devil horns and a slightly off key version of Folsom Prison Blues.

Monday May 11 - Friday May 15 is Angels and Demons Week on Canada AM!

The much anticipated sequel to The Da Vinci Code – Angels and Demons - opens in Canadian theaters Friday, May 15th.  Canada AM’s film critic Richard Crouse went to Rome for the premiere of the film.  All this week, Canada AM will take an in-depth look at the film, and we’ll decipher what’s myth and what’s fact in its controversial story.

Read Richard's interview with Ron Howard in this weekend's issue of Metro!

Ron Howard, the flame-haired actor turned director of The Da Vinci Code, wasn’t surprised by the success of his adaptation of the best selling Dan Brown suspense novel. “The idea at the centre of The Da Vinci Code was so provocative and such a hot button issue it really lived at the centre of popular culture for almost two years,” he said this week in Rome before the premiere of Angels & Demons, the follow-up to the record-breaking Da Vinci Code...

Check out writer Ashley McCall's review of Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen in the Sacramento Book Review! "Canadian film critic Richard Crouse, who may not be wholly familiar to those of us native to the United States, delivers Son of the 100 Best Movies You’ve Never Seen, and provides a brief yet detailed list of relatively obscure movies (at least to the casual filmgoer) that are worth taking the time to explore. Ranging from Billy Wilder’s brilliant-and bitter-Ace in the Hole to Ed Wood’s much-maligned epics to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! to out-of-print silent films that most of us have never heard of, the book is comprehensive in its way, in spite of being such an abbreviated list. This book is a must have for the newbie cinephile as well as for anyone who enjoys good (and sometimes bad) movies and wants to improve their breadth of knowledge. From brilliant art-house films to B-movie classics, Son of the 100 Best Movies You’ve Never Seen provides film suggestions for everyone-and then some..."

A new article about Richard by Katherine Brodsky from the First Weekend Club newsletter. "Richard Crouse is a Canadian staple when it comes to film, known for his sharp take on cinema in his reviews on CTV's Canada AM, The Globe & Mail, The National Post, his six books, as well as informed and entertaining movie commentary hosting shows like Reel to Real (Canada's longest running television show about movies). and The 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen on Rogers Television Now, he has a new venture, aptly named: Richard Crouse's Movie Show. The show combines probing analysis of new theatrical films and DVDs, interview and investigative journalism to uncover "what it is about the medium of movies that holds us in such a state of thrall". Expect the unexpected. The show airs every Friday at 10:30 a.m. on Canada's Independent Film Channel and every Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on E!. First Weekend Club had a chance to catch up with this very busy movie man and discuss his new show, the state of Canadian film, the art of being a film critic and much more..."

Also... Tonight at 8:00 pm Richard will appear at The Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West, Toronto, 416 531 4635) as a guest of the Monkey Toast comedy troupe. Winner of the 2004 Canadian Comedy Award for Best Improv Troupe, Monket Toast, the Imporovised Talk Show is a unique live show that blends a traditional talk show with wild improvised comedy. Following an interview segment hosted by David Shore, the Monkey Toast improvisers use the interview as the basis for a series of sketches. It should be lots of fun, and with a "Pay What You Think" cover charge it's no wonder Now Magazine called it the "best comedy deal in town."

Check out Richard's interview with Iron Maiden: Flight 666 directors Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen. Here's some info on the film from the Iron Maiden website: A special international 'Iron Maiden' day is being planned for 21st April with simultaneous showings of IRON MAIDEN:FLIGHT 666 in selected Digital cinemas around the world...

The movie follows the band on the first leg of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour in February and March of 2008 as they experienced the most ambitious and adventurous tour in rock history. The Maiden tour plan was something that had never been attempted before on such a grand scale. Circumnavigating the globe, the band flew in a specially customized Boeing 757 airliner with their crew and 12 tons of music and stage equipment on board, playing 23 sold out stadium and arena shows in 13 countries in just 45 days, travelling 70,000km and performing to almost half a million fans.

The band were accompanied everywhere by award-winning documentary makers Banger Productions from Toronto in Canada, who have received international critical acclaim for their previous movies "Metal, A Headbangers Journey" and recently "Global Metal". Filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn and their team bring an intimate behind the scenes view of this remarkable journey, with a close look at the logistics involved and following Team Maiden in the cockpit, on the plane and on and offstage, getting to the heart of this global adventure of a band that has very rarely even let cameras backstage before.

Shot in High Definition and with superb 5.1 surround sound, mixed by the band's producer Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley, FLIGHT 666 brings to the screen all the drama, excitement and hysteria that followed the band around the world every time 'Ed Force One' touched down in a new country.

Also... "The advertising tagline for Watchman is: Who watches the Watchmen? It’s me. I watched the Watchmen. All 163 minutes of it. For the uninitiated Watchmen is one of the most highly acclaimed superhero stories of all time, and the only graphic novel to be included on Time magazine’s list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.” Written by comic book legend Alan Moore it resembles a traditional superhero story only in the way a housecat resembles a puma. They both have four legs and a tail but are distinctly different creatures. Ditto Watchmen and its caped brethren. The graphic novel has masked crusaders and characters with super powers but the first ten pages of the book has more existential angst and deep meaning than any ten issues of The Fantastic Four..."

Richard will host a Q&A with director Bruce MacDonald for the film Pontypool tonight at 7 pm at the AMC Yonge and Dundas in Toronto.

Here's a synopsis: "Shock jock Grant Mazzy has, once again, been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and now the only job he can get is the early morning show at CLSY Radio in Pontypool Ontario, which broadcasts from the basement of the small town's only church.

What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations, due to yet another massive snow storm, quickly turns deadly when reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and evoking horrendous acts of violence start piling in.  Bu there?s nothing coming in on the news wires.  Is this really happening?

Before long, Grant and the small staff at CLSY find themselves trapped in the radio station as they discover that this insane behavior taking over the town is actually a deadly virus being spread through the English language itself.

Do they stay on the air in the hopes of being rescued or, are they in fact providing the virus with its ultimate leap over the airwaves and into the world?"

RICHARD'S OSCAR PICKS

BEST PICTURE: It’s gotta be Slumdog Millionaire. It’s won every prize imaginable leading up to the Oscars and is a shoo-in to take the top prize.

BEST ACTRESS: I’d like to see Meryl Streep take this one if for no other reason than I don’t think I can take another of Kate Winslet’s weepy “I can’t believe this” speeches. Also Streep won the SAG award which is voted on by her fellow actors—the same people who vote in the acting categories at the Academy—so I think there is precedent for her win.

BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: I think Viola Davis deserves this award. Her work in Doubt, which was limited to just one five minute scene, is unforgettable, but the tide seems to be turning in favor of Penelope Cruz’s comic turn in Vicky Christina Barcelona.

BEST ACTOR: Brad Pitt, Frank Langella and Richard Jenkins may as well stay home on Sunday night. As much as I admired the work of Langella and Jenkins this year, this is a two man race between Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke. Rourke is the sentimental favorite—don’t forget to factor in the “Loki effect;” the Academy members love tragedy and the death of Rourke’s dog who he had credited with keeping him going through the rough times, may help his chances—but Penn’s performance borders on virtuoso. This one is a toss of the coin.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Like the best picture category this one is a foregone conclusion. Heath Ledger will win, and not because of the sentimental vote but because he deserves to win. His take on The Joke in The Dark Knight was one of the highlights of my movie going year. It’s an incredibly strong performance that reinvented a character that had been portrayed on screen many times before.

"The most cinematic moment of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival didn’t happen on-screen. As the audience cheered following a showing of Valentino: The Last Emperor, a new documentary spanning the period between the designer’s seventieth birthday and his final couture show, the man himself stood in a box seat high above the crowd, a single tear dramatically running down his face. It was an elegant and touching moment from the world’s greatest living couturier, a rare flash of understatement from a man given to pronouncements like “an evening dress that reveals a woman’s ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen...” To read the rest pick up the March issue of Fashion!

Also... "You have to wonder if a comedy about a young woman plagued by debt is really timely or seriously mistimed. With stories about debt and dollars leading almost every newscast these days it may be a risk to release a lighthearted movie about living beyond one’s means. Of course Confessions of a Shopaholic was shot last year before the bottom fell out of the economy, and in fact, re-shoots were done to change the end of the movie to reflect the current financial situation, but the question remains: Will audiences want to laugh with a movie about a compulsive shopper who seems pathologically unable to live on a budget?..."

With stories about debt and dollars leading almost every newscast these days it may be a risk to release a lighthearted movie about living beyond one’s means. Of course Confessions of a Shopaholic was shot last year before the bottom fell out of the economy, and in fact, re-shoots were done to change the end of the movie to reflect the current financial situation, but the question remains: Will audiences want to laugh with a movie about a compulsive shopper who seems pathologically unable to live on a budget?..."

It's going to be a newly restored version of DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (it's not even available on DVD) and there will be a Q&A with the writer J.D. Feigelson. Alternatively, you can come by the Bloor Cinema during regular box office hours (the box opens 30 minutes before each show starts, check http://www.bloorcinema.com/showtimes.php for times) and exchange the card you received for a refund.

Barack Obama needs some Canadian content for his iPod.

So says CBC Radio 2, which is inviting Canadians to select songs that best define Canada for the incoming U. S. leader, known to be an avid music fan.

A CBC website already includes submissions from rapper Maestro Fresh Wes, who suggests his own 1989 hit, "Let Your Backbone Slide."

Meanwhile, movie critic Richard Crouse says BTO's "Takin' Care of Business" would offer inspiration.

The survey officially kicks off next Monday, when Canadians have a week to submit their choices by email, phone or online.

CBC Radio 2 will reveal a shortlist of 100 songs for public voting the following week, and reveal the top 49 songs on inauguration day Jan. 20.

Clint’s latest, Gran Torino, his second film of the year, suggests that maybe he should take a break. All work and no play, it seems, has made Clint a dull boy..."

Also... "Second acts in Hollywood are rare. Once an actor is infected with the stink of failure it's hard to wash off, particularly when the fall from grace is very public and seen by many people as well earned. In 1985 Mickey Rourke was being called the new Brando; by 1995 Hollywood wasn't calling at all. His career flameout rivaled that of other Tinsel Town wash outs like Orson Welles and John Gilbert, two legendary performers who blew their shot at screen immortality with a combination of ego and bad choices. Couple career suicide with a volatile reputation, an interlude as a professional boxer which caused neurological damage and forever altered his once matinee idols looks and you have a Hollywood Babylon story that looks doomed to end poorly. And it almost did, after fifteen years without a lead role in a film Rourke was a write off, Hollywood's forgotten man, until director Darren Aronofsky crafted a role for him that allowed him to face his demons in a very public way.  Call it primal screen therapy if you like, but his achingly honest portrayal of burned out wrestler Randy the Ram may just earn him an Oscar nod..."

Also... Check out this mention of Richard's new book Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen in Warren Clement's DVD column Dancing and Singing Through Tough Times (page R20) in today's Globe and Mail: "The second Clark film figures in a new book by film reviewer Richard Crouse, Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen. It's a catchy title, though a mite odd, since some of the films are far from obscure (Sullivan's Travels, Fantastic Voyage) and some are far from great (The Brown Bunny, Bride of the Monster). But it's a fun book to argue with, and Crouse points to such lesser-known pleasures as The Horn Blows at Midnight (with Jack Benny, whose movie career sank as a result) and The Rebel (with Tony Hancock). Among his new hundred is Clark's Black Christmas (1974), a Canadian stalk-and-slash film that predated John Carpenter's more famous Halloween. "Director Bob Clark didn't invent the slasher film with Black Christmas - arguably Psycho, Peeping Tom or Bay of Blood ... were the granddaddies of gore - but he did establish the format," Crouse writes. Certainly it's the only sorority-girls-at-risk film you'll see with a cast of Margot Kidder, Andrea Martin, Art Hindle, Olivia Hussey and Keir Dullea..."

Or how about the scheming cat from Babe or the twin evil Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp? Even Garfield is portrayed as lazy and cynical. It’s time for this denigration of our feline friends to stop!

In Toronto tune into CFRB NewsTalk 1010 this morning at 7:55 am to hear Richard discuss the new DVD release of Kung Fu Panda and Get Smart with host Bill Carroll.

From Shinan Govani's column in The National Post, November 4, 2008: Did you know that Joan Collins was once capable of a “restrained performance” as well as a “layered character?” These are among the many things one can learn from Richard Crouse’s latest book, Son of The 100 Best Movies You’ve Never Seen.

Making the grade in the Canadian critic’s latest cinematic tally of the “underappreciated” as well “overlooked” is the 1960 movie, Seven Thieves, starring the very woman who would grow up to be the chick we all know as Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan! A caper film with a film noir bent, it has Collins as a burlesque dancer —one who is “simultaneously hardened and forlorn, but with a compassionate soul.” Adds Crouse, this is a “strong performance without any of the camp that marred most of her work.”

Yes, who knew? Among the other must-see movies included in this movie buff’s guide are flicks such as Ace in the Hole, The Brown Bunny, Dear Frankie, The Descent, Marie Antoinette, Switchblade Sisters … and, oh, others.

(Eugene Hutz) says, “In my country we have a saying… He who licks knives will eventually cut his tongue.” In film critic land we also have a saying. “He who watches this movie all the way to the end will want to cut their eyes out…”  Filth and Wisdom is so amateurish, so poorly made that if Madonna’s name wasn’t on it as director and screenwriter you’d only be able to find it in delete bins nestled against copies of Shanghai Surprise..."  To read the rest of Richard's review for Filth and Wisdom, plus new reviews for  Zach and Miri Make a Porno, What Just Happened and Richard's vote for the worst movie of the year, The Other End of the Line, click on the Review-O-Rama tab.

Also... "When looking back at great director – actor relationships it’s safe to comment that most often directors typecast their favorite stars time and time again. For example in the twenty or so films John Ford and John Wayne collaborated on the actor was never required to stray too far from his heroic cowboy persona. Martin Scorese and Robert De Niro have shaken things up a bit more in their eight movies together, but their most successful outings have usually involved wise guys and crime. The same can’t be said of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe. Since their first teaming, the sword and sandal epic Gladiator, the pair have made three more films, a romantic comedy called A Good Year, American Gangster, a true life crime drama, and their latest, a contemporary spy thriller titled Body of Lies. It’s a diverse body of work that defies the usual typecasting of actors by directors..."

He may have envisioned himself to be the next Alistair Cooke, but from the second he stepped off the plane from London he was doomed to failure. His laddish stunts and seemingly bottomless aptitude for offending people made him an outsider in the oh-so-proper world of Conde Nast..."  To read more of Richard's review of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People and new reviews for Blindness, Appaloosa, Rachel Getting Married, Religulous and RocknRolla click on the Watch This Now tab.

He who cannot, teaches.” He very well may have been describing Dana Marschz, a hapless drama teacher played by Steve Coogan in the new satire Hamlet 2.

A self admitted “little boy from a dairy farm in Manitoba who can’t act very well,” he leaves the “glamor” of being an unemployed actor in Hollywood and lands in Tucson, Arizona as a drama teacher..."

July 3, 2008: Richard will host an event to celebrate the release of Season One of Mad Men on DVD. Here are the details: Back when smoke was smoke, men were men and copious amounts of liquor were consumed behind office doors, sexism still reigned in the workplace. Sexy secretaries were eager to please their sophisticated and charming bosses while their apron-wearing wives remained in the home, waiting with a honey ham and a stiff Manhattan to satisfy their hard-working husbands.  

Harking on the success of the much talked about television series “Mad Men”, The Society is thrilled to be pre-screening episode 5 before it hits the network.  To catch up on the series of scandals of the season, members who sign up will be sent episodes #1-4 prior to the screening night.

The show has had a ripple effect on Madison Avenue (the NYC epicentre of advertising) with one notable fan stating: "Mad Men" tells stories inside a fictitious New York agency, Sterling Cooper, that are about not only how the industry was five decades ago but also meatier subjects like the price of success and how far America has — or has not — come on issues like gender, race and religion. The New York Times describes it as “both a drama and a comedy and all the better for it, a series that breaks new ground by luxuriating in the not-so-distant past.”

Hosted by notable film critic Richard Crouse, The Society screening will conclude with a witty, intelligent and off-the-cuff panel discussion between well-respected and influential advertising industry executives while guests enjoy copious amounts of beer and scotch.  The debonair Don Drapper and his fellow men at Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency would certainly approve. To buy tickets click here.

Date: Thursday July 3
Time: 8:00 PM
Where: Downtown ad agency rooftop (address will be revealed to guests on Tuesday July 2)
Dress Code: Come on, get in the spirit - prize for best dressed 50's exec or secretary!

Also... "Hancock is unlike any other superhero. The Hulk, Batman and Daredevil all have serious personal issues but none have the PR problems that plague Hancock. When stopping crime and thwarting the bad guys the Los Angeles based superhero usually does more harm than good—the price tag for one rescue reaches 9 million dollars after he rips up streets, and damages buildings. He’s hated by the very people he tries to protect, and on top of it all suffers from alcoholism, anger issues, amnesia and very low self esteem. Dr. Phil would have a field day with this guy..."

Richard, with shoe phone, reviews Get Smart on Canada AM. "Turning a beloved television show into a film isn’t as easy as simply writing a longer, feature length script. For every Sex and the City or X Files that successfully makes the leap from small to big screens, there’s a Bewitched, Mod Squad or The Honeymooners, all ideas that should have worked but failed to find audiences. Or, in the parlance of Maxwell Smart, “They missed it by that much…” The new big screen adaptation of Agent Smart’s exploits, Get Smart, is loosely based on the 1960s television series and while it tries to be all things to all people—there’s slapstick, action, romance, The Rock!—what it doesn’t try to be, for better and for worse, is a photocopy of the original series..."

Independent distribution company, filmswelike, introduces the new anti-festival: Generation D.I.Y.  This summer, Canadian filmmaker Ron Mann (Grass, Comic Book, Confidential) and veteran promoter Gary Topp (The Police, Ramones, Dixie Chicks) bring Generation D.I.Y. to theatres across Canada, an unlikely assembly of films by a collection of American filmmakers who are young, ambitious, and broke.

Heralded as the "mumblecore" movement at 2005's South By South West film festival, theirworks share achingly relatable stories of twenty-somethings and a grainy lo-fi esthetic that have won them critical acclaim everywhere from The New York Times to Entertainment Weekly.  While they have cast off the "mumblecore" label, Generation D.I.Y.'s collection of scriptless films can be considered the first movement in American cinema since Jim Jarmusch and Richard Linklater stood behind the lens.

It is only fitting that the anti-festival is assembled by Mann and Topp's filmswelike, a distribution company that strongly advocates independent film.  The festival kicks off in Toronto with the opening night premier of director Joe Swanberg’s new film Nights and Weekends featuring indie darling Greta Gerwig.

Richard will host Q&As with the filmmakers throughout the festival!

NXNE festival pass or wristband gets you FREE entry to the screening. 

“The Rocker” is Robert “Fish” Fishman, the drummer for an eighties hair band.  He's living the rock n’ roll dream… until he is kicked out of the group.  Twenty years later, the desperate rocker joins his nephew’s band, “A.D.D.,” finally reclaiming the rock-god throne he’s always thought he deserved -- while taking his much younger bandmates along for the ride of their lives.

The Rocker hits theatres August 1st, 2008. To see the trailer click here.

The resulting hullabaloo has provided the film with the kind of publicity that most Canadian films would kill for.

In the inevitable sequel (expect lots of Narnia in your future—there’s seven books of source material) the same kids are catapulted back to the wondrous world of Narnia. This time around, however, the world isn’t so wondrous. In the one year they lived in the human world, 1300 years passed in Narnia and the once lush place is now ravaged by war..."

Today at noon Richard debuts his new movie review show on CFRB NewsTalk 1010 in Toronto. Here’s the press release: Richard Crouse Watches Bad Movies So You Don’t Have To! At noon on Saturday April 5, 2008 Richard Crouse debuts his exciting new movie review show on News Talk 1010 CFRB! Richard has appeared twice weekly on the station’s Bill Carroll Morning Show for the past year, and now expands his segment to the weekly half-hour Richard Crouse At the Movies.

The show will focus on the newest films in the theatres and on DVD and feature reviews for the best (and worst) movies of the week, complete with audio clips, music and interviews with prominent actors and filmmakers. Other show highlights will include a feature on great overlooked movies; a segment on movie clichés; we’ll go to Mephisto’s Megaplex and take a poll of the best of the worst movies ever made; stories on the films that big stars would rather forget; Richard’s Top Ten Lists of favorite movie dialogue and pieces on good Canadian films—yes, there is such a thing.

“CFRB is thrilled to expand Richard's role on the radio station from two appearances a week on the Bill Carroll Morning Show to now include a 30 minute show Saturdays at noon. Richard Crouse At The Movies will help listeners decide on what movies to see in theatres or what DVDs to rent each weekend.

“Adding Richard Crouse At The Movies to kick off our Saturday afternoon line up is another example of how Newstalk 1010 CFRB provides listeners with the information they need when they need it,” says CFRB Operations Manager Steve Kowch.

The first show on April 5 will feature reviews for the new George Clooney comedy Leatherheads and Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones concert film Shine a Light as well as a look at the Academy Award winning There Will Be Blood on DVD and much more.

“This show’s eclectic mix of reviews, news and interviews plus my unique point of view should fit the CFRB mandate of providing informative and entertaining radio shows,” says Crouse who started his broadcasting career in 1979 as the junior announcer at CKBW in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, a job Donald Sutherland had held thirty years before. “I’ve always wanted to do a radio show like this and couldn’t be happier that CFRB is giving me the chance.”

A screening of Maple Flavour Films (featuring Richard) will take place as part of the 2008 Canadian Filmmakers Festival this afternoon at 3:30 pm at the Carlton Cinemas in Toronto, followed by a panel discussion. Here's some more information:
In April 2006, Michael Sparaga, the writer-producer of the Canadian independent movie, Sidekick, traveled across Canada as part of a Telefilm Canada-funded theatrical tour, in an effort to generate enough positive word-of-mouth to lure a Canadian theatrical distributor to release his award-winning film in theatres. While chronicling the ups-and-downs of his coast-to-coast adventure, he also took to the streets to interview everyday Canadians and film industry professionals about their knowledge of and thoughts on Canadian films and the Canadian film industry. Honest, frank and often humorous, Maple Flavour Films is a documentary that’s not afraid to ask, “Do you know the difference between a Genie, Juno and a Gemini?”

In April 2006, Michael Sparaga, the writer-producer of the Canadian independent movie, Sidekick, traveled across Canada as part of a Telefilm Canada-funded theatrical tour, in an effort to generate enough positive word-of-mouth to lure a Canadian theatrical distributor to release his award-winning film in theatres. While chronicling the ups-and-downs of his coast-to-coast adventure, he also took to the streets to interview everyday Canadians and film industry professionals about their knowledge of and thoughts on Canadian films and the Canadian film industry. Honest, frank and often humorous, Maple Flavour Films is a documentary that’s not afraid to ask, “Do you know the difference between a Genie, Juno and a Gemini?”

"Viva presents itself as a lost artifact from the 1970s, a Technicolor relic of the sexual revolution complete with scratches and blotches as though it had been stowed in Russ Meyers’ basement for the last thirty years. Ripe with cheesy music, double entendres and 70’s hedonism—“Live and love today,” one character says, “and pay tomorrow”—it’s a time capsule to an era when bosses pinched their secretaries bums, and got away with it. “There’s never a better time to be a man,” says Mark as a naked actress reclines in his lap. “The open shirts… the sense of entitlement...” To read the rest of Richard's review of the cult movie Viva and new reviews for Jumper, Definitely, Maybe and The Spiderwick Chronicles click here.
