Academy Watch, Movie #1 - Whatever Works
This week marked the beginning of Academy Movie Watching.
Every year from November to February, we get sent every movie being considered for an Oscar because one of my immediate family members is a voting member of AMPAS.
This year, I am gonna chronicle every Academy movie I see.
First up, Woody Allen's Whatever Works
This is the second year in a row where one of Allen's films has immediately become one of my favorites of the year. The overall reviews of Whatever Works say bizarrely disparaging things about the movie that I didn't find to be the case at all. "Medieval torture?" "Complete failure?" "Stepped in dog doo-doo but doesn't know it?" Did half the critics at Rotten Tomatoes see the same movie I did?
The moment Whatever Works began, I was laughing my face off. Larry David & Evan Rachel Wood play off each other beautifully in what is by far her best work to date. Somehow she managed to look utterly unlike herself & deliver a joyful performance I had no clue she could pull off so seamlessly. The film had a very theatrical sense about it - I can easily imagine a staged production. That quality, hated by many critics, actually made it easier to go along with the far-fetched, but nevertheless delightful, story.
Maybe it's because my entire family relates to Larry David's curmudgeonly Boris or because we all are quite familiar with the seductive, freeing nature of New York City, but we were with the movie 200%. It's movies like this that make me question my habit of deciding whether or not I see a movie based on its Rotten Tomatoes score and grateful that we have an AMPAS member in our midst forcing us to see every film sent our way.

Spiderman Musical Gets a Mary Jane and a Start Date
It's (almost) official!
IESB is confirming from an interview with Evan Rachel Wood, that the young actress has been cast as Mary Jane in Julie Taymor's musical, set to open in 2010. She & Jim Sturgess were in Taymor's workshop production of the show and according to Wood, they are still trying to get him to sign on. Wood also mentioned that rehearsals will begin in June of 2009.
We all kind of suspected this would happen when the Across the Universe duo was cast in the workshop. The casting is actually pretty...spot on, but Evan Rachel Wood is not my favorite and I'm not sure her voice (Across the Universe was her first time singing) will be able to hold up on Broadway. As much as I adore Jim Sturgess, I wasn't alone in noticing the autotune all over Across the Universe's soundtrack. At least with music by Bono & The Edge, the score should be more rock, less musical theater-y (if I say that's a term, it's a term!) and thus easier for the relatively inexperienced singers than any other Broadway show would be.
