  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

  • TNT Greenlights New Series DALLAS
    TNT Greenlights New Series DALLAS TNT has given the greenlight to DALLAS, an all-new series based upon one of the most popular television dramas of all time, about the bitter rivalries and family power struggles within a Texas oil and cattle-ranching dynasty. Famous for its ratings-grabbing cliffhangers, the original series was known for its wealth, seduction, scandal and intrigues. Set in the big state of Texas, TNT’s new DALLAS — from Warner Horizon Television — also lives life large and in the fast lane and brings a new generation of stars together with cast members from the original drama series. The new DALLAS stars Josh Henderson (90210), Jesse Metcalfe (John Tucker Must Die), Jordana Brewster (Fast & Furious), Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) and Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives), and they will be joined by iconic stars Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing. TNT has ordered 10 episodes of DALLAS, which is slated to premiere in summer 2012. TNT will give viewers their first look at DALLAS on Monday with a special sneak peek during the season premieres of the network’s blockbuster hits THE CLOSER, which starts at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), and RIZZOLI & ISLES, which airs at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). TNT is unveiling today a website dedicated to the new DALLAS series, where fans can view an online photo gallery that features a first look into the show’s new and returning cast. Fans can visit the new site, http://www.dallastnt.com, to watch sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes videos.

Le feuilleton Knots Landing en donne un bon exemple ou alors il n'est rien[1]. L'histoire de ce feuilleton, qui est resté bien longtemps à l'affiche, commence de manière malencontreuse mais symptomatique puisque son lancement fut différé. En effet, alors que l'idée de ce programme avait été initialement élaborée en 1977, c'est-à-dire avant l'avènement du feuilleton mélodramatique en heures de haute écoute (et de sa prolifération avec Dynastie, l'Empire des Colby, Falconcrest et Flamingo Road ), sa focalisation explicite sur la classe moyenne éveilla les réserves des programmateurs de CBS.

    For Immediate Release Contact: David Jacobs Friday, May 5, 2017 212-965-2255/ [email protected] NAACP Legal Defense Fund Statement on Murder Charges in Police Shooting of Jordan Edwards Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF), issued the following statement regarding the murder charges brought against the former Balch Springs, Texas, police officer who fatally shot Jordan Edwards last Saturday night: “We are gratified that authorities in Texas have moved swiftly to file murder charges against and fire former Balch Springs Police Officer Roy Oliver for the shooting death of Jordan Edwards. Make no mistake though, this is not reason to rejoice. We are at the start of a long, arduous process that all too often ends without a conviction or jail time. The facts as we know them are horrific and we demand the strictest accountability under law. We will continue to monitor the impending proceeding closely, and to advocate fiercely that this officer will be held accountable for his crime unlike so many of his peers. We also demand that the systemic concerns raised by this incident are addressed by the Balch Springs Police Department.” “Now that charges have been filed, we call on the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office to immediately release video footage of the shooting, as well as any incident reports that may implicate officers who attempted to cover up their colleague’s misconduct. Transparency and accountability are both essential to ensuring justice for Mr. Edwards and his family.” “At this time, our thoughts are with the Edwards family, who have been forced to suffer an excruciating loss that no one should have to endure.” ### Founded in 1940, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
