Before there was James Frey, there was Stephen Elliott. Two years before Frey’s bestselling, Oprah-approved “A Million Little Pieces” hit shelves in 2003 (only to be notoriously debunked three years later), Elliott’s “A Life Without Consequences” arrived. A mish-mash of memoir and autobiography and fiction and imagination, Elliott’s book detailed his (or was it his? the details are muddy and they stay muddy) childhood experiences of abuse, deprivation, homelessness, and drug addiction. That not all of it was exactly true wasn’t the points— and, Elliott, who continues to write fiction and non-fiction, both on the printed page and on the web, doesn’t argue that — but it is the crux of Pamela Romanowsky’s “The Adderall Diaries,” the filmmaker’s feature film version of Elliott’s 2010 “memoir” of the same name.

It might be hard to believe considering all of the cash-grab DLCs out there with no real substance, but expansion packs and additional content used to be something to look forward to in video games. Either they added improvements and content to an already-great game (Diablo II: Lord Of Destruction) or they were standalone adventures that could be enjoyed on their own. Half-life: Opposing Force is the latter.
As the title suggests, Opposing Force puts you in the opposing marine’s boots. This time you’re Corporal Adrian Shepherd, whose duty goes from completing a classified mission to fighting for survival, as everything hits the fan.
You might have also figured out from the premise that this game has more emphasis on action (though that’s not to say there aren’t puzzles scattered about).
Fortunately, there have been plenty of big improvements on Half-life‘s combat mechanics in this expansion,...

From the Toronto International Film Festival, Adam Cook and Daniel Kasman continue our series of festival dialogues. Johnnie To's Don't Go Breaking My Heart 2 had its world premiere in Tiff's Special Presentations section.
Adam Cook: Here we are again, talking To. It's frustrating how many times I've encountered a dismissive attitude towards Johnnie To's romantic comedies. I realize even the director himself disassociates from them, but, and especially with his most recent works, the rom-coms have been as formally intricate and as impressively crafted as his more revered crime films. As everyone was praising Drug War, it was Romancing in Thin Air that stood out for me. Before that there was Don't Go Breaking My Heart (written on here by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky), an impossibly entertaining love triangle in the big city movie, that while over the top and silly, had some of To's most impressive images...

With three words (repeated over and over), big Groot was able to steal the show from the humans (and raccoon) in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” With a few dance moves, little Groot became the most lovable character in the smash hit Marvel movie. Also read: How ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Brought Rocket Raccoon and Groot to Life Without spoiling the movie for those few Americans that haven't seen it yet, there is a moment in which Groot — who had to start re-growing for a reason we won't reveal! — started to really feel the music of the Jackson Five… even if Drax.

The fifth, and penultimate, season finale of FX‘s drama Justified copped a crowd 2.37 million strong, according to Nielsen. That’s a 5% uptick compared with the show’s Season 4 finale, back when viewers did not know it was coming to an end at Season 6. Ditto the demo numbers — a 0.8 rating compared vs 0.7 a year ago. But the season wrapper was no match for the season starter in January; that clocked 2.84 million viewers and a 1.1 demo rating. Related: TCA: ‘Justified’ Ep On Final Seasons, Life Without Elmore Leonard Justified, like other FX original drama series, jumps noticeably when delayed viewing is added to the mix. Last April, when the dust settled, more than 3.82 million viewers had watched that Season 4 finale, according to Nielsen’s Live+7 numbers ( a 70% jump over the 2.25 million initially reported). That Season 4 finale nonetheless wound up short of the 3.95 million who watched the Season 3 ender. In January FX...

Gellar, 36, looked casually chic in a cream-colored top and star-print jeans for the Starbucks outing. Rocky looked adorable wearing a striped sea foam green shirt, light gray pants and black Velcro shoes. "Life without Starbucks is not a life I want to imagine," the Crazy Ones star recently joked on Twitter. Two days earlier, Prinze, Jr. took their daughter Charlotte, 4, to the Los Angeles...

Outside of Martin Scorsese, there are very few clean slates in Hollywood – and even He has Bringing Out The Dead blotting his copybook (discuss…). The Coen brothers though, have created an unbroken conga-line of stunningly original movies, mixing and mastering genres, and even creating new ones.
If there was a bump in the road in 1994 time, it seems, has since been kind to The Hudsucker Proxy. A bigger budget (courtesy of ’80s alpha-producer Joel Silver) and an initially unresponsive family audience had it labelled as the Coen’s first flop, but watched now its pleasures are myriad and unmistakably Coenesque (including a great, late-vintage performance from Paul Newman).
The Coens announced themselves to the world in 1984 with the instant neo-noir classic, Blood Simple. Now, just mull the following subsequent film titles over in your mind like a mouthful of Chateau Petrus. Raising Arizona, Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy,...

There are a handful of words that, in the context of discussing movies, or art and pop culture in general, tend to be exceptionally gear-grinding, for me at least. “Unfunny” is one word that comes to mind, a term that may indicate that the described item lacks humor, but certainly demonstrates that the subject doing the describing lacks it altogether. The word “Unnecessary” though is one that might be at the top of my list of words that have virtually no meaning when it comes to labelling movies.
Evaluating the necessity of a medium that is essentially an industry of distraction is dubious indeed. For all its greatness and originality, how badly is a movie like Inception needed? After watching the excellent Cabin in the Woods for the gazillionth time, do any of us stop and appreciate it for being “necessary”? Entertainment and art function in similar ways: they both make life more interesting,...

I Can Barely Take Care Of Myself: Tales From A Happy Life Without Kids isn’t simply 224 pages of the phrase “Nope, not interested” repeated over and over, though, because Kirkman also writes about her childhood, failed marriage, and career, but brings it all around to her personal decision not to have kids, and how it’s proven to be strangely controversial.

The Walking Dead Season 3 finale airs tonight on AMC, facing off against the season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones in the same time slot on HBO.
This season has arguably been the best to date, but its place in Walking Dead history will be judged by tonight’s finale. Here are a few questions and expectations going into tonight’s episode, “Welcome to the Tombs,” which will surely be filled with shocks.

You might think that an exorcism movie called "The Last Exorcism" is sequel-proof, in that its very name promises the demise of its main attraction. And you might assume that the film's "found footage" conceit would further hamper its producers' ability to excise a franchise from this thriller's frame.
And yet Hollywood has, once again, dug down deep and heroically summoned the artistic courage (with an assured distribution deal and built-in-audience) to somehow concoct a sequel, cleverly titled "The Last Exorcism Part II," despite all your contrarian naysaying.
We salute this artistic courage with some superb sequel pitches of our own. And we're confident the movie-going public will flock to see them — mainly due to faint name recognition. Are you listening, Hollywood producers?

Though Michelle Williams has now long been associated with her beloved blonde pixie cut --which she once said was a tribute to the late Heath Ledger -- the Oz the Great and Powerful actress says she's now "ready" to sport long locks again.
"I think I'm ready," she tells E! News. "It's on its way, slowly but surely."
Pics: New Bewitching 'Oz the Great and Powerful' Posters
In a memorable quote, Michelle admitted to British Elle in 2011 that Heath loved the polarizing cut. "I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it," she said.
But perhaps another reason she's kept her hair short for so long?
That dreaded in-between stage.
"The mid-stage is insufferable," she admits. "It's really hard on your self-esteem."

What We Learned Life Without Sybil: Grieving widower, Tom Branson (Allen Leech), really has to stand his ground against his father-in-law.

Gao Qunshu's Beijing Blues was the surprise winner at the 2012 Taipei Golden Horse Awards on Saturday night, bagging the award for Best Film, as well as Best Cinematography and Best Editing. This low-budget mainland production about a plain clothes police officer wrestling with his soul while taking down petty thieves and con artists beat off high-profile competition from the likes of Johnnie To's Life Without Principle and Lou Ye's Mystery to take home the top prize in what are regarded by many as the most prestigious awards in Asian Cinema. Neither of those other films went home empty-handed, however, as To was named Best Director and Lau Ching Wan nabbed the Best Actor prize, while Mystery won the award for Best Original Score as well...

Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards wrapped things up Saturday with China’s “Beijing Blues” winning the Best Feature Film award. The movie, which also won Best Cinematography and Best Editing, pivots around a plain-clothed police detective who browses and patrols the everyday Beijing. “Every crime, every arrest and every ounce of mercy he can muster, he fights the endless battle with his soul.”
Director Gao Qun Shu (“The Tokyo Trial”) was apparently overwhelmed by the award telling that he never thought his name would be involved with an award of proportion like Golden Horse’s. (The Golden Horse Award is considered the Chinese cinema’s Oscars.) “I’m just an amateur director,” he tells amiably later in his acceptance speech.
“Thank you, thank you,” closing it.
Meanwhile, other awards went to a lot of unsurprising names like Johnnie To (he is so hot right now) who brought home the Best...

Today's Golden Horse Awards, the Chinese-Taiwanese Oscars, spread the wealth. Superstar Andy Lau (A Simple Life, Infernal Affairs, House of the Flying Daggers) had the honor of presenting Best Picture. It went to Beijing Blues but Beijing hardly dominated. Every Bp Contender took home at least one prize and some of them major.
I watched a bit of the ceremony live on the web even though I speak no Cantonese, Mandarin or Taiwanese. Awards shows are -- you'll never believe this -- a source of endless fascination to me. Yes, even if I have no clue what's going on.
I was told at one point though that the producers were asking the hosts to ad lib more since the ceremony was running short -- imagine it! Otherwise awards ceremonies speak a universal language. Consider the Best Actress category: silly presenter banter, 5 nominees, a mix of teary and elegant and 'why did they pick that?...
