Paul Giamatti: TV Guide News

A Sunday for the History Books | Roush Dispatch | 4/18/2008
I love it when TV can be both very, very good as well as good for you. Such is the case with a logjam of terrific historical dramas competing for attention this Sunday. Two of them had me fighting back tears (and occasionally losing the fight), and then there’s Showtime’s The Tudors, that stimulating royal tonic of sex, religion and other courtly intrigues. Not a lot of boo-hooing while watching this Henry VIII romp, but rarely a dull moment, either.The quality honors this weekend go... read more
Bones Is Back, and Other Happy TV Thoughts | Roush Dispatch | 4/14/2008
Why not start off a glorious spring week — a week that continues the welcome rollout of shows returning from long strike hiatus — with some positive thoughts? Starting with the return of Bones to Fox’s schedule. For those keeping track in this confusing midseason, Mondays are now the new Tuesdays for Fox. And once House kicks back in with new episodes starting April 28 (a House repeat airs next Monday), Mondays will almost feel like the new Thursdays with so many choices on the... read more
Preview: HBO's John Adams Proves That Founding Father Knows Best | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 3/14/2008
Why isn't John Adams more famous? His face isn't on Mount Rushmore or any dollar bill. Even the popular Boston beer company passed him over in favor of his rabble-rousing cousin, Sam. Turns out the legacy of our second president ? and arguably most significant Founding Father ? has languished in the shadows of his predecessor, George Washington, and successor, Thomas Jefferson. But the new, seven-part HBO miniseries John Adams (premiering Sunday at 8 pm/ET, HBO), based on David McCullough's ... read more
DVD Tuesday: Sex, Violence, Endangered Baby: I love Shoot 'Em Up! | Ask FlickChick | 1/15/2008
DVD Tuesday: A girl, a gun, a baby and Clive Owen careen through this sly meta-action movie romp in an exhilarating hail of bulletsWriter-director Michael Davis' deliriously trashy mash-up of John Woo and Loony Toons was greeted by a mix of scathing denunciations and cluelessly slavering encomiums applauding its over-the-top excesses; rare was the reviewer who deigned to notice its sly, poignantly affectionate deconstruction of contemporary action-movie clichés. Shoot 'Em Up tanked at the... read more
Good Buzz Delays Reveal of ScarJo's <I>Diaries</i> | Today's News: Our Take | 3/29/2007
According to Variety, the big-screen, Scarlett Johansson- and Paul Giamatti-fronted adaptation of the chick-lit hit The Nanny Diaries has had its mid-April release pushed to Sept. 7, so as to save it from getting lost in the summer ramp-up and to better position the film — as well as the dewy you-know-who — for awards consideration. read more
In the Works: Psycho Scribe Scares Up Sudser | Today's News: Our Take | 12/11/2006
Maybe because Masters of Horror sucks so very, very badly this season, Showtime, says the Hollywood Reporter, is developing a new spookfest — The Canyons, a spine-tingling soap opera from American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis and Dave Kalstein. In the proposed series, a group of presumably hot twenty- and thirtysomethings "encounter violent situations and anxieties that are briefly manifested as monsters." In other words, me, after watching another disappointing MOH.... According to... read more
