AOL Moviefone — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:29:19 -0400

After short-lived notoriety in the late 80s for her role as a tawdry vixen, actress Marilyn Hack (Catherine O'Hara) has been struggling for recognition. She lands a role in the small indie melodrama Home For Purim, as Esther, the ailing matriarch of a Jewish family in the Deep South during the 40s. "Misunderstood" stand-up comic and performance artist Callie Webb (Parker Posey) is cast as Esther's prodigal daughter. Fellow actor Victor Allen Miller (Harry Shearer), best known as Irv the Foot Long Weiner, is cast as Esther's husband. None of them would have imagined that this little film would have the capacity to change their lives. But when Marilyn hears of Internet rumors that her performance could garner an Oscar nomination, the buzz of awards season is set in motion. It is not long before Callie and Victor get tagged with Oscar-fever too, and the race toward nominations begins. The eccentricity of the stars of Home For Purim and all who surround them is delightfully baffling. From the oblivious produ

Video Detective — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 23:26:54 -0400

Largely improvised by director Rob Reiner and his cast, This Is Spinal Tap looks and sounds like a real documentary, with Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest as David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls, and Nigel Tufnel, the key members of a going-nowhere British heavy metal band called Spinal Tap. The group started as an informal skiffle band, eventually maturing into an R&B act called the Thamesmen (their hit was Gimme Some Money). After going through a psychedelic period with Listen to the Flower People, the band mutated into Spinal Tap, a hard rock outfit responsible for such albums as Intravenous DeMilo, The Sun Never Sweats, and Bent for the Rent. This Is Spinal Tap finds them in the midst of their first American tour in years as they support their new LP Smell the Glove, with filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner), who specializes in TV commercials, on hand to document the occasion. Just about anything that can go wrong does: shows get canceled, stage props go wrong, wireless guitar pickups start

Everyone's favorite headbangers from Aurora, Illinois, are back in this sequel to the 1992 hit comedy Wayne's World. The success of their TV show allows Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) to finally move out of their parents' homes, but now they have to figure out what to do with their lives. Wayne's girlfriend, up-and-coming rock star Cassandra (Tia Carrere), is enjoying a career boost thanks to her new manager Bobby Cohn (Christopher Walker), but Garth thinks that Bobby is more interested in her body than her place on the charts. Meanwhile, Wayne is visited in a dream by the late Jim Morrison (Michael A. Nickles), who convinces him to promote a massive rock festival, Waynestock, featuring Aerosmith as headliners. Garth, on the other hand, is finally relieved of his pesky virginity by femme fatale Honey Hornee (Kim Basinger), though it turns out that Honey has a hidden agenda. Drew Barrymore, Harry Shearer, and Charlton Heston play cameo roles in Wayne's World 2, and Jay Leno, Rip Tayl

Mockumentary mastermind Christopher Guest turns his satirical eye away from dog shows, small-town theater, and folk music to offer a hilarious take on Hollywood award season in this comedy focusing on trio of actors whose lives are turned upside down when they discover that their performances in an independent film are generating a sizable buzz in the entertainment industry. Jay Berman (Guest) is in the process of directing his first feature film -- an intimate family drama set in the 1940s and detailing the tempestuous reunion of an estranged Jewish family that is reluctantly drawn together to celebrate Purim at the behest of their dying matriarch. The cast soon comes down with an infectious case of award fever when rumors on the Internet claim that Purim stars Marilyn Hack (Catherine O' Hara), Victor Allan Miller (Harry Shearer), and Callie Webb (Parker Posey) may be delivering Oscar-caliber performances. When Hollywood Now co-anchors Chuck Porter (Fred Willard) and Cindy Martin (Jane Lynch) perpetuate the

The writing and directing team who created Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show turn their satiric eye toward the world of folk music in this sly mockumentary. Irving Steinbloom was one of the great behind-the-scenes figures of the folk music boom of the late '50s and early '60s, and helped to nurture the careers of three of the best known acts of the era. The Folksmen -- Mark Shubb (Harry Shearer), Alan Barrows (Christopher Guest), and Jerry Palter (Michael McKean) -- were an earnest folk trio who sang of America's noble past and the challenges of the future; they split up in the early '70s after a failed attempt to go electric. Mitch & Mickey were a duo in both music and life, comprised of Mitch Cohen (Eugene Levy) and Mickey Devlin (Catherine O'Hara). They sang soulful songs of love until the collapse of their relationship sent Mitch into a deep and incapacitating depression. And The Main Street Singers were a nine-piece vocal group -- a neuftet, as they prefer it -- who offered energetic good-time music,

Portrait of a White Marriage is an outgrowth of Martin Mull's wickedly satirical The History of White People in America, with a bit of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman tossed in. Mull plays a self-involved TV talk host who journeys to Hawkins Falls, Ohio, to reactivate his flagging career. While glad-handing the locals, he enters into an affair with bouffanted housewife Mary Kay Place. Also appearing are such frequent Mull colleagues as Fred Willard, Michael McKean and Jack Riley. Made for cable, Portrait of a White Marriage was directed by humorist Harry Shearer, who'd also helmed the History of White People installments. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
