George R. Robertson, the Canadian actor who portrayed the police chief and later police commissioner Henry Hurst in the first six Police Academy films, has died. He was 89.
Robertson died Sunday at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, his family announced.
Robertson also showed up in small roles in three films that were nominated for the best picture Oscar — Airport (1970), Norma Rae (1979) and JFK (1991) — and portrayed vice president Dick Cheney in the 2006 ABC miniseries The Path to 9/11.
Robertson appeared as Hurst in 1994 in the first Police Academy movie, directed by Hugh Wilson, and stuck around through Police Academy 6: City Under Siege (1989). His character grows more tolerant of the wacky recruits led by Commandant Lassard (George Gaynes) as the franchise moves along.
The actor did not make the trip to Moscow for the 1994 installment but was on one episode of the 1997-98 Police Academy series at CTV.

Miriam Toews’ 2014 novel “All My Puny Sorrows” thrives on the kind of fraught tonal whiplash that comes with the most intimate of relationships to one’s subject. Inspired by the suicide of the author’s sister, the book is a veiled grief memoir that veers wildly between plangent, poetic despair, plainspoken journaling and blunt, cutting humor — a spectrum mirroring the variable stages of grief itself. We can risk brutality and bad taste in the name of honesty when telling our own stories; Michael McGowan’s adaptation of “All My Puny Sorrows,” on the other hand, approaches its with a respectful timidity that honors Toews’ words, but never quite animates them.
On screen, then, “All My Puny Sorrows” is affecting, as any reasonably faithful adaptation of the novel could hardly fail to be. As a portrait of sisterly trust, obligation and estrangement, and the difficulty of carrying familial dependencies into adulthood and beyond,...

"There is now no smooth road into the future... We've got to live. No matter how many skies have fallen" Voltage Pictures has revealed an official trailer for All My Puny Sorrows, an indie drama from Canadian filmmaker Michael McGowan (of Score: A Hockey Musical and Still Mine). This first premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival in the fall this year, and it also played at the Vancouver Film Festival. Based on the international best-selling novel by Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows is the poignant story of two sisters-one a concert pianist obsessed with ending her life, the other, a writer, who in wrestling with this decision, makes profound discoveries about her herself. Starring Alison Pill and Sarah Gadon as the two sisters Yoli and Elf, with Marin Almasi, Boyd Banks, Gabrielle Jennings, and Donal Logue. This didn't get the best reviews out of TIFF, a bit too much melodrama it seems.

Unlike House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Daredevil and Bloodline, Netflix isn’t making much of a promotional push for its upcoming series Between. Perhaps that’s because it’s a co-production with Canadian networks, which means it’ll be un-bingeable, diverging from the Netflix model by launching on May 21 and releasing a new episode weekly. Let the impatient viewer rioting commence.
A survivalist thriller set in the small town of Pretty Lake, Between kicks off as a mysterious plague kills off every resident of the town over the age of 21. The government quarantines the town, leading to a power vaccum and struggle for dominance as the teens go to war with one another in order to stay alive. Think Lord of the Flies with moody, disinterested youth.
It’s a very similar premise to Michael Grant’s bestselling Gone series, which Sony Pictures Television is planning to adapt for the small screen,...

Netflix released the first full-length trailer for the upcoming series “Between” on Wednesday. The show follows a pregnant teenager, played by Jennette McCurdy, living in the small town of Pretty Lake, which has been devastated by a disease that kills anyone over the age of 21. In the trailer, the town’s population plummets as the disease spreads faster than anyone can comprehend. The government institutes a quarantine and leaves the inhabitants to fend for themselves.

Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for their survivalist thriller series "Between" which premieres next Thursday May 21st on the service.
The story is set in a town under siege from a mysterious disease that has wiped out everybody except those twenty-one years old and under.
The six-episode series explores the power vacuum that results when a government has quarantined a ten-mile diameter area and left the inhabitants to fend for themselves.
In a break from tradition, new episodes of the series will be added weekly rather than the entire first season being released all at once. Michael McGowan ("Still Mine," "Saint Ralph") created the series while Jennette McCurdy ("iCarly") stars.

It’s tough getting old. Your kids stop understanding you, your parts don’t work as well as they used to, and the government won’t stop cutting in to regulate anything and everything you feel like doing (even if you know damn well how to do it without any fancy pants instructions, because you’re old). At the very least, that’s the takeaway from Still Mine, a film which seems to view the aging process as difficult mainly because of the rigamarole of government bureaucracy. Certainly, no one likes unnecessary rules, but it’s hard to make a professional hall monitor into a compelling antagonist.

The subject of age in film has always been a fascinating one to me. Hollywood tries so hard to focus on the next up-and-coming star or starlet, glorifying them in HD on the big screen. We as audiences are looking to stay forever young through the films we watch too, focusing on what we can do to make ourselves look thinner and younger, just like these celebrities.
That's why films like Still Mine are important to me. It's not often that you see a film that focuses on the struggle of the later years in life, when family has grown up and moved on. In a film world full of romantic comedies often centered on young people, we don't often hear the stories of the ones who have lived through the most.
Craig (James Cromwell) and his wife Irene (Geneviéve Bujold) have been married for 61 years. They live a simple life on a farm,...

Review by Barbie Snitzer
I believe I’ve previously declared that it is always my intention to approach every movie with a blank slate, absent preconceptions and prejudice. I am however, only human, so I do sometimes occasionally fall short of my ideal.
I admit to such a lapse as I began to watch Still Mine. The bucolic scenery, the languorous pace, and the obvious hints of Irene’s (Genviève Bujold) descent towards dementia that indicated such would be the movie’s story, coaxed my cinematic cynic. Having recently endured Unfinished Song (read my review of that Here) I can hardly be faulted.
I began to believe this was yet another Lifetime-style-Made-for-tv schmaltz-fest intended for the geriatric demographic- a blatant play for the “grey pound” as Vanessa Redgrave calls the overlooked audience of the senior citizens of our society, a segment with disposable income starving for worthwhile entertainment that doesn...

Chicago – Into the “getting old sucks” genre with award-winners like Sarah Polley’s “Away From Her” and Michael Haneke’s “Amour,” we can add “Still Mine,” opening tomorrow, July 26, 2013, in Chicago.
Grounded by two stellar performances from the great James Cromwell and Genevieve Bujold, this Canadian production of a true story rests on a few melodramatic crutches too often but the honesty found by this pair of powerful actors builds to a truly moving final act. In particular, Cromwell (“Babe,” “American Horror Story: Asylum”) does some of the best work of his career. You’d have to be dead inside not to be moved by what he delivers here.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The accomplished actor plays Craig Morrison, an eighty-something farmer faced with a number of challenges late in life. First, the government regulations on his industry are pushing him, like so many small farmers, out of business. Second, his wife Irene...

Amour Terne: McGowan’s Latest a Pedestrian Glance at the Golden Years
While there’s certainly an audience out there that would be more susceptible to the offerings of Michael McGowan’s latest effort, Still Mine, it has the misfortune to be released soon after a healthy string of similarly themed (and better made) films contending with aging heterosexual couples.

While there’s certainly an audience out there that would be more susceptible to the offerings of Michael McGowan’s latest effort, Still Mine, it has the misfortune to be released soon after a healthy string of similarly themed (and better made) films contending with aging heterosexual couples. While featuring two well-known leads from the annals of cinema, whose presence here is bound to attract a certain interest to the title, they are unfortunately encapsulated in a film as flat as a plateau and barren as wintry tundra.

Still Mine
Directed by Michael McGowan
Written by Michael McGowan
Canada, 2013
James Cromwell is the kind of actor who has looked, for a long time, perpetually wizened; he is a man who lived a full life before he stepped in front of the cameras. That elderly, grandfatherly quality is put to good use in the Canadian drama Still Mine, a patient and relaxed adaptation of a true story of a long-time married couple who run into government red tape despite having the best of intentions. Still Mine relies less on an excess of plot than on its performers feeling like real people, the relationships long since established, and does so adequately.
Cromwell is Craig Morrison, an 88-year old living comfortably enough on roughly 2,000 acres of land in New Brunswick with his wife Irene (Genevieve Bujold), who’s beginning to suffer serious symptoms of Alzheimer’s, specifically a creeping sense of dementia.

New opener "Fruitvale Station" and "The Way, Way Back" (in its second week) are the biggest specialty hits of the summer season so far, after several weeks of promising new openings that have failed to cross the $10 million mark as they expanded. The timely and unsettling "Fruitvale" boasts the best limited release of the summer, while Fox Searchlight's "The Way, Way Back" earned a high-end per-screen-average for its number of theaters, suggesting solid audience response with much more to come. Two IFC VOD releases -- "The Crystal Fairy" and "Dealin' With Idiots" -- showed some decent numbers, with Magnolia's "The Hunt" and Goldwyn's "Still Mine" also made decent initial showings. Opening "Fruitvale Station" (Weinstein) - Criticwire: B+; Metacritic score: 82; Festivals include: Sundance 2013, Cannes 2013, Los Angeles 2013 $377,000 in 7 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $53,857 The best specialized opening of the summer and 2013's third best (behind "Spring Breakers" and "A...

Title: Still Mine Samuel Goldwyn Films Director: Michael McGowan Screenwriter: Michael McGowan Cast: James Cromwell, Geneviève Bujold, Rick Roberts, Julie Stewart, Campbell Scott, George R. Robertson Screened at: Park Ave., NYC, 6/11/13 Opens: July 19, 2013 If you want to look at this picture from a political point of view, you might think it was written by a conservative Republican supported by the editors of the Wall Street Journal and by ex-President George W. Bush. Let’s add The Reform Alliance, the most conservative political party of our neighbors to the north, since this is a Canadian movie filmed mostly in rural New Brunswick with some scenes in Ontario.

People's critic digs Pacific Rim's robots, but wishes they could take out Grown Ups 2 along with the aliens. Skip this like it's cafeteria mystery meat• Grown Ups 2 The opening scene of Grown Ups 2 features a deer urinating into Adam Sandler's mouth. That's rich, given that he's the one who thinks you'll swallow anything. This pathetic sequel to the bewilderingly successful 2010 Grown Ups finds Sandler's Lenny Feder back in his hometown, living near old buddies Eric (Kevin James), Kurt (Chris Rock) and Marcus (David Spade) - but not too near, since Lenny is way richer than those guys.

On the surface, James Cromwell should have a lot to be happy about. The versatile actor perhaps best known for his Oscar-nominated supporting role in 1995's "Babe" has a new movie coming out this month -- and, in a rare occurrence, he's actually playing the romantic lead.
In the film "Still Mine," which opens in New York City on July 19 before enjoying a limited release later this summer, Cromwell stars as Craig Morrison, a Canadian farmer whose wife, played by Genevieve Bujold, is quickly descending into dementia. Morrison has to fight government bureaucracy in order to work towards his goal of building a smaller house to replace the couple's dilapidated two-story home.
Cromwell won lead actor at the Canadian Screen Awards earlier this year and also has nabbed lead actor honors at the Seattle International Film Festival.
Even so, a phone interview with Cromwell takes some angry twists and turns,...

In the humble, old-person movie Still Mine, James Cromwell and Geneviève Bujold play an aging couple (married for 61 years) who are, of course, irrevocably set in their ways but nonetheless continue to face life's challenges, particularly when it comes to mortality, relationships, and the darn changing world. It's straightforward, pleasantly paced, and well acted -- in other words, not asking a lot of viewers, but ought to still leave them with at least a little something. On the whole, it works better than not. In some of the film's better moments, I was reminded of Leonard Cohen's 1995 tune "Tower of Song." A particularly relevant passage goes like this: I see you standing on the other side I don't know how the river got so...

Check out the trailer, photos and poster for Michael McGowan's Still Mine, starring James Cromwell, Genevieve Bujold, Campbell Scott, Rick Roberts, Julie Stewart, Jonathan Potts, George R. Robertson, Barbara Gordon and Zachary Bennett. The Samuel Goldwyn Films romantic drama opens in theaters from July 12th, 2013 and is both scripted and helmed by McGowan. In his first lead role after decades of playing supporting characters, Cromwell gives a tour de force performance in Still Mine, an exquisitely crafted and deeply affecting love story about a couple in their twilight years. Based on true events and laced with wry humor, Still Mine tells the heartfelt tale of Craig Morrison (Cromwell), who comes up against the system when he sets out to build a more suitable house for his ailing wife Irene (Bujold). Although Morrison uses the same methods his father, an accomplished shipbuilder, taught him, times have changed...

The law of diminishing returns which often determines the box-office trajectory of sequels doesn.t apply to the Fast & Furious franchise.
The sixth edition of the guns, cars, girls and action caper raked in $13.6 million from Thursday through Monday, a record for the franchise. That was 41 per cent bigger than the five-day opening of the fifth edition, which had the benefit of the Easter vacation..
Universal reports that tracking showed the strongest response to Fast & Furious 6 came from women aged under 25, so it.s not just a male-driven phenomenon..
The Great Gatsby was resilient in its second weekend, scoring $5.7 million for the five days, which elevates its cumulative total to $15.2 million. Fuelled by favourable word-of-mouth, Baz Luhrmann.s romantic drama looks likely to reach at least $25 million..
Bollywood action comedy Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, the sequel to a 2011 hit, opened fairly well.
However it was not a memorable weekend for other specialty releases.

There have been so many false starts in the attempt to bring The Man From U.N.C.L.E to the big screen, we've given up trying to summarize them all. Suffice it to say that fans believe there is a curse on any such attempt. The latest development won't do anything to dispel those beliefs. Tom Cruise, long rumored to be starring in the role of Napoleon Solo originated on the TV series by Robert Vaughn, has formally bowed out. Ironically, he's bypassed the U.N.C.L.E. project in order to do yet another installment of the Mission: Impossible series. So Cruise has dropped one film inspired by a classic 1960s spy franchise in favor of another. Still, Warner Brothers remains keen on making U.N.C.L.E. a new franchise and Guy Ritchie is still attached as director. Arnie Hammer is also still with the film,...

We already know that Batman will face off against Deathstroke in this fall's "Batman: Arkham Origins." But who are some of the other hired guns that might end up with the contract to kill the Bat?
After the jump, see 10 candidates who might take the shot (and couple of who might even be able to pull it off).
10. Cassandra Cain
Why would I include a character who would ultimately don the cowl and become Batgirl/Black Bat for a few years under the instruction of Barbara Gordon/Oracle? Besides being one of the unsurpassed hand-to-hand fighters in the DC Universe, besides getting her start as a mute, socially broken murder monster, seeing Cassandra go up against Bruce would offer gamers something they haven't seen in the Arkham-verse to date: Batman's hope for the hopeless.
Cassandra was raised from birth by her assassin father David Cain to be the perfect killer.

Maybe Olivia Pope needs to do some damage control for ABC, which brought back only two of the 10 shows it premiered last season. At the network’s upfront presentation on Tuesday, Kerry Washington appeared in a pre-taped clip as her character from Scandal, and offered advice to Anne Sweeney, the president of Disney/ABC Television Group, alongside Jimmy Kimmel. Discussing the problem of Dancing With the Stars, which took a ratings dip this season, Kimmel quipped, “For one thing, they’re not really stars.” There aren’t a ton of stars in ABC’s new lineup, either — but there are...

From originating the titular role in the stage version of "Driving Miss Daisy" to playing a key part in "The Addams Family" films, there's quite a lot of variety on Dana Ivey's resume.
The 71-year-old Georgia native has had more than 30 film roles and appeared in close to two dozen TV shows, which makes her a perfect subject for "Isn't That ... ?," a new HuffPost feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, but don't know much else about.
The five-time Tony-nominated Ivey will appear in one of the final episodes of "The Big C" as a fellow cancer patient of Cathy's (Laura Linney). "I was thrilled to be asked to be on it," Ivey said in a phone interview with HuffPost. "It's such a good show. I've been watching it since the beginning and DVRing it and watching every episode.

I’ve dabbled with Simone’s work on Batgirl, which despite her being on, off and on again during its New 52 run over what seems like office politics, has been consistently strong. Barbara Gordon is arguably one of the more complex characters of the Bat Family and in Simone’s hands she’s been both likable and relatable.

Batman has some of the most iconic characters, never mind villains, in any medium. The Joker is arguably as recognisable as the Dark Knight himself, and names like Two-Face, Catwoman and The Riddler are known the world over.
But what about those villains that have never made the cut? What about those that DC would rather sweep under their giant carpet, hoping no one remembers the sometimes laughable “bad guys” thrown at us? Whether it’s wacky costumes, terrible names or just a downright awful adaptation, we list some of Batman’s lesser known, or completely abused properties that never should have seen the light of day.

"Call me Jamie."
So says James Cromwell upon meeting in a cozy room at the Trump Hotel in Toronto to talk about his Canadian Screen Award-winning performance in Michael McGowan's sweet drama Still Mine. With a hearty handshake, ready smile enveloped by a white goatee, and wearing a plaid shirt and bulky sweater similar to what his character sports in the movie, Jamie instead of James seems about right.
Cromwell, who you may know better as a cinematic president – he's played Potus four times in movies ranging from The Sum of All Fears to W. – or as the farmer from Babe, is a towering figure, standing at 6'7" but his thoughtful and candid nature make him seem as if he's at eye-level with all those around, a relatability that serves him well for his role here, which requires a fine balance of folksy charm and intrepid resolve.

The young Cronenberg Offers 'Cold, Clammy' Look at Celebrity Idolatry Gone Amok in the 21st century Antiviral (first released in 2012). Direction and Screenplay by Brandon Cronenberg. Cast: Caleb Landry Jones, Sarah Gadon, Malcolm McDowell, Wendy Crewson, Douglas Smith, Sheila McCarthy, Joe Pingue, and Nicholas Campbell. (Pictured above: Landry Jones holds a celebrity-related specimen in writer-director Cronenberg's film debut. Image via distributor IFC Films / IFC Midnight.) There will come a day, and a blessed day it will be, when we reach the saturation point in our obsession with celebrity. It’s proven a resilient phenomenon, brought on by the Internet’s "24-minute" news cycle, dozens of cable channels needing cheap reality-show talent who’ll do anything for fame and, of course, our tragically misplaced priorities. Oddly enough, one of the very best movies to tackle our fascination with celebrity was released in the pre-Internet era: released in 1983, Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy...

Based on a true story, Still Mine is directed and written by Michael McGowan (One Week, Score: A Hockey Musical) and it follows the story of Craig (James Cromwell) and Irene (Genevieve Bujold), a long-married couple who live in rural New Brunswick where Craig still takes care of their sprawling farm property and the two seem to be every bit in love with one another as when they married some 60 years ago.
But when Irene starts showing early signs of dementia, Craig figures that a single-level home would make their lives easier and starts to build a house with his own hands, and the help of his extended family, when he runs afoul of a persnickety government official who keeps halting his ambitious plans.
The uplifting love story, which premiered at Tiff this past September, will be hitting select Cineplex theatres this May and we have the poster premiere for you,...
