For his sophomore stab at directing, actor/writer/director Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made), took on this holiday comedy starring Saturday Night Live-alum Will Ferrell. Ferrell stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who was raised as an elf by Santa Claus (Edward Asner). When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he's not a real elf, he decides to head back to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological family. Elf also stars James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Zooey Deschanel, and Bob Newhart. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

"Zooey Deschanel is so adorable that even I??????usually such a knee-jerk skeptic when it comes to Things People Think Are Adorable??????have to just give myself over to her absolute adorability. The indie actress, who sang in Elf and recently in a teeny role in The Assassination of Jesse James, is releasing an album with M. Ward under the name She & Him this March. The two will be playing at SXSW on March 14; in the meantime, Stereogum has an MP3 from the album, for a track called “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” It’s totally 60s, like something Serge Gainsbourg would have produced, but a little less breathier and a little more garage-ier. Above: She and Him perform the Ricky Nelson classic, “Lonesome Town.” Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina " [More]

"Bridge to Terabithia marks director Gabor Csupo’s first attempt at a feature-length, live-action film. He seems to have a propensity to animation; he spent the eighties and nineties producing everything from a few episodes of the children’s cartoon Rugrats to the more adult Duckman. So it seems strange that the only real movie he’s ever made is as good as it is. Terabithia stars Josh Hutcherson as Jess, a boy with four sisters and parents who struggle to provide. He deals with the cruel way his middle-school classmates treat him with class and dignity, and releases with his talent for art and the fact that he races faster than any other kid in his grade. Along comes Leslie (AnnaSophia Robb), the new girl, who also seems to have a natural placeholder near the bottom of the social ladder. Together, they bond in the strangest of ways – they imagine a world of magic and trolls and dark wizards. In Terabithia, as their hand-made sign says, nothing can crus ... " [More]
