Watercooler: Our New Girl-Friend

Zooey Deschanel OK, we're totally crushing on Fox's New Girl. Last evening, the comedy began and immediately won us over and done with the nerdy, cutesy charms of leading lady Zooey Deschanel. As Jess, the lately left oddball who moves along with a trio of sitcom-standard but likeable roomies, Emily's little sister discovered that sweet place - somewhere nearer to Lisa Kudrow's adorable flake Phoebe from Buddies than Jenna Elfman's annoying airhead on Dharma & Greg - that saved her from being too wacky to obtain lower with. So far as first dates go, that one would be a win. There is snappy conversation, a chuckle tunes and, since this is Fox, a little of flesh (thanks, shirt-averse Max Greenfield!). But is she a keeper? In the end, lots of great aircraft pilots have happened to bad shows, and you never know how things will feel when Lamorne Morris joins like a new roomie (Damon Wayans Junior.'s Coach was recast because of his resolve for the late-restored Happy Being). Guess we'll have to make another date with this particular Girl in a few days and find out. Have you be seduced by New Girl, too? Or perhaps is she simply not your type?

Czech director Otakar Vavra dies

PRAGUE -- Czech director Otakar Vavra, who built up his oeuvre under Nazi occupation and the communist regime, but was revered as a true original, died in a Prague hospital Thursday, where he was recovering from a neck injury. He was 100. In addition to forging a distinctive body of compelling work, including 50 films he directed and 80 he wrote, Vavra and cohorts founded FAMU, the Czech Republic's most respected film school, in 1946. FAMU, where he also taught until 2008, inspiring such pupils as Milos Forman, Jiri Menzel and Emir Kusturica, remains one of Central Europe's most prestigious film training academies. Menzel has said that Vavra was a key figure in driving the development of Czech film. Vavra first attracted attention with pics like comedy "The Virgins' Club" in 1938, and 1940's "Girl in Blue," which starred Lida Baarova, a Czech starlet whose affair with the married Joseph Goebbels outraged Adolf Hitler. His films of the '60s, however, such as 1965's "Golden Apples" and the sly parable on paranoia and political persecution, "Witch's Hammer" (1969), form his most prized artistic legacy to critics. Vavra was awarded the Czech Republic's highest cultural honor in 2004, the Medal of Merit, by President Vaclav Klaus. Vavra is survived by his partner, director Jitka Nemcova.

Let us Cast the Remake of 'Point Break'

Sorry, brah. Just whenever you retrieved in the discomfort triggered through the 'Dirty Dancing' reboot, Hollywood has once more raided your cache of Patrick Swayze nostalgia for an additional remake: 'Point Break.' Alcon Entertainment is placed to create the Kathryn Bigelow-directed cult hit in to the twenty-first century, with extreme sports changing the bodacious waves of So-Cal. (The less stated concerning the suggested change, the greater.) It affects like falling your surfboard, but let us plow forward together. Order up a meatball sandwich and look for some Moviefone-approved 'Point Break' casting suggestions ahead. Ryan Gosling as Johnny Utah (initially performed by Keanu Reeves) The instinct here's most likely to cast someone like Chris Pine, Ryan Reynolds or Paul Master within the lead role made famous by Keanu Reeves and the righteous line delivery. Nevertheless, no film would are afflicted by more Gos. (Ryan Gosling, for individuals non-superfans.) He's most likely too famous to guide 'Dirty Dancing' for Lionsgate despite his capability to "perform the move," however with Warner Bros. likely to release 'Point Break' -- a studio he's labored with formerly on 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' and also the approaching 'Gangster Squad' -- the casting almost feels serendipitous. Plus, who wouldn't wish to hear Gosling say, "I caught my first tube today... mister" to some stuffy authority figure? Josh Holloway as Bodhi (initially performed by Patrick Swayze) He isn't the A-lister that Patrick Swayze was during the time of the initial 'Point Break,' but -- fame aside -- can there be anybody more perfect to experience Bodhi than former 'Lost' castaway Josh Holloway? No, rhetorical question, there's not! Holloway is gruff, masculine, confident with taking his shirt off and believably over the age of the youthful-buck Utah. This kinda appears just like a no-brainer, meaning it's zero possibility of really happening. Adrianne Palicki as Tyler (initially performed by Lori Petty) Palicki, the 'Friday Evening Lights' star and erstwhile Question Lady, is a lot more Amazonian compared to small Ms. Petty, but she's an actual tomboy who is not scared of tangling using the opposite gender -- a trait surfer-girl Tyler offers excessively. (Let us hope surfer women continue to be contained in this "extreme sports" version of 'Point Break.') Nicolas Cage as Pappas (initially performed by Gary Busey) Grizzled, over-the-top and mostly insane, the role of Pappas in 'Point Break' essentially given Gary Busey the opportunity to play themself. Is Nicolas Cage the current-day Busey? Will it really matter when he'd reach say a line such as this? "Listen you snot-nose little sh-t, I had been takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh whenever you were crappin' with you and rubbin' it in your face." Jason Patric as FBI Director Ben Harp (initially performed by John C. McGinley) If you want a bureaucratic jerk within an authority position you call either Billy Crudup or Jason Patric. Simple. (Alternate: just cast John C. McGinley again.) Chace Crawford, Alex Pettyfer and Paul Master because the "Ex-Presidents" (initially performed by James LeGros, John Philbin and Bojesse Christopher) Let us think that Bodhi's bizarrely youthful-ant gang will get an broadened role within this update, which their cooperation requires optional t shirts. You could do this worse than eye-chocolate like Crawford, Pettyfer and Master. Arrived at think about it, why has not Steven Soderbergh cast Crawford and Master in stripper drama 'Magic Mike'? Access it that exploitation, Steve! For additional on 'Point Break,' take a look at Moviefone's anniversary interview with star Gary Busey from captured. Photo: twentieth century Fox

'Expendables 2' Recruits Arnold Schwarzenegger And Bruce Willis

Yipee-ki-yay, mother enthusiasts they are back! Leaving from last year's "The Expendables," the first of all deliberation over my thoughts focused squarely about the return of Trench and Chapel, better referred to as borderline geriatric duo of badasses briefly performed by action symbols Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Their chapel cameo was awesome and all sorts of, however it wasn't enough. Positive thing for all of us then that Sylvester Stallone, director Simon West and also the relaxation from the "Expendables 2" crew are on a single page, as Deadline reviews that both Schwarzenegger and Willis are in action for that follow up and not simply for mere cameos, either. Based on the site, both stars will reprise their roles inside a "substantial" way, which bodes well for that lengthy-standing gossips that Willis would function as the film's chief antagonist. For Schwarzenegger, is he going to be friend or foe to Stallone and the rag tag team of mercenaries? There's sufficient time to hold back and find out how that situation originates. In other possible "Expendables" casting news, that old gossips that Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme are joining the follow up have resurfaced. Moviehole reviews that both action stories, in addition to Scott Adkins, happen to be put into the cast, with JCVD and Adkins apparently playing mercenaries rising against Sly's squad while Norris only has "a little appearance within the film." Excited to listen to about Schwarzenegger and Willis rejoining the "Expendables" fold? Inform us that which you think about this news within the comments section as well as on Twitter!
