Azazel Jacobs’ MOMMA’S MAN chronicles the increasingly anxious dilemma of Mikey (Matt Boren), a young husband and father who stops off at his parents’ loft during a business trip to New York and finds himself emotionally unable to leave. One of the most acclaimed films of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Jacobs' third feature is both a tribute to his parents (avant-garde Filmmaker Ken Jacobs and painter Flo Jacobs, who play Mikey’s mother and father) and an acutely perceptive, slyly humorous take on a universal experience: the fear of growing up. ...

Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi made a great movie, Journeys With George , about the media traveling with a presidential candidate -- in that case Gov. George W. Bush. It offered a close-up view of how campaign coverage often isn't so glamorous. That Bush fellow went on to become president of the United States. And the media's still tagging along. He might be president, but the beat is often equally un-glamorous. Here's Ken Herman of Cox newspapers filing his video pool report of a recent Bush fundraising jaunt to Georgia. White House reporters sometimes take turns shadowing the president and then providing their collagues with the details of what they see, or in this case what they don't see. Here's Ken's take: ...

Closing Night of the 16th Raindance Film Festival. Award winners announced. The Raindance Film Festival showcases features and shorts made by independent filmmakers from all around the world to an audience of film fans, journalists, acquisition executives, actors, producers and directors.

Opening night at the Democratic National Convention will reintroduce Barack Obama to voters, and no one knows him better than the evening's featured speaker, his wife Michelle. Ailing Democratic icon Edward Kennedy will also attend the convention Monday night. The Massachusetts Senator and a key Obama supporter traveled to Denver late Sunday. At present, there are no plans for Kennedy to speak, though that might change if Kennedy feels up to it. A video tribute by Filmmaker Ken Burns is planned either way. Kennedy, 76, has had surgery for a malignant brain tumor and undergone a lengthy course of chemotherapy and radiation. Officially, the Monday convention program is themed "One Nation." The presentation, according to a Democratic news release, "will highlight Barack Obama's life story, his commitment to change, and the voices of Americans calling for a new direction for this country." ...

' Momma’s Man ' is a touchingly true film, part weepie, part comedy, about the agonies of navigating that slippery slope called adulthood. It was written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, a native New Yorker who has set his modestly scaled movie with a heart the size of the Ritz in the same downtown warren where he was raised. Being a child of the avant-garde as well as an A student, he cast his parents, the Filmmaker Ken Jacobs and the artist Flo Jacobs, as the puzzled progenitors of his centerpiece, a wayward son of bohemia.... In American movies, growing up tends to be a job for either Aryan Youth types or the oddballs and outsiders...." 4. The bohemian who named ...
Gail Shister TVNewser Columnist With a face young enough for a milk carton, how does Ken Burns qualify for a Lifetime Achievement Award? That's exactly what he thought when he was chosen to receive the accolade at the 29th annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards in September. PBS's prolific poster boy turned 55 last Tuesday. CBS veteran Bob Schieffer, 71, and NBC's Tim Russert, who died June 13 at age 58, will also be honored. "I was tremendously surprised," says the acclaimed documentary Filmmaker ("The War.") "I thought, 'You're too young to get a lifetime achievement award.' Especially someone who feels younger than the 55 years I am." It hit Burns even harder a few years ago, when he was similarly honored by the International Documentary Association. "I was a little bit under water as to why it was happening," he says. "I have too much stuff I've got to do!" With Burns, that's saying something. His latest PBS contract runs through 2025, marking an astounding 48 years with the public network. His latest opus, on the history of national parks, will debut in September '09. It clocks in at 12 hours. "The 10th Inning," an update to his 18-hour epic "Baseball" ('94), is set for '10, followed by "Forbidden Fruit: Prohibition in America" in '10 or '11. Burns, who doesn't see himself as a journalist, says historians and journalists share "an incredibly important link." Many journalists have turned out to be good historians, and vice versa ...
Highly Recommended The Movie: I'm hoping Lions Gate's release of Fernando Leon's 1998 film, Barrio, means that US audiences will finally get to know the work of this talented Spanish Filmmaker whose films are inexplicably hard to find stateside. Often imbued with social commentary, Leon's films have won him the moniker "the Ken Loach of Spain". But his work is also funny and absurd and, above all, deeply invested in character. Even when his characters are behaving badly -- being selfish, short-sighted or just plain stupid - he never sells them out for a laugh or forces them into ideological postures to make a point. He treats his characters with affection, which, frankly, makes it easy for us to like them, too. In Barrio, winner of the Goya (Spain's Oscar) for Best Director and Best Screenplay, we get a brilliant example of this work. A coming-of-age story about three 15-year-olds stuck i...

PBS demonstrated it clearly isn’t afraid to fly the flag of liberalism when it allowed one of its multi-millionaire stars, Filmmaker Ken Burns, to not only make a syrupy socialist tribute to Ted Kennedy, but then to appear late Monday night on MSNBC to add his own personal tribute to the star of his film: "He was talking not just about the audacity but the possibility of hope. And that’s a wonderful, wonderful message to be carrying on. He's so committed to health care. He’s so committed to national service. He's committed to an honorable end to this horrific war." He mentioned Teddy’s "martyred brothers," and added: "we endow them with the immortality that they so clearly deserve. And yet here is the youngest brother, the little engine that could that keeps going every single day, adding something to our agenda, adding something to this country." About ten minutes before midnight, the tributes to this "amazing, amazing man" began. MRC's Colleen Raezler took it down: CHRIS MATTHEWS: Ken Burns, is the documentary Filmmaker who directed the tribute to Ted Kennedy, the video tonight which was expected to be the whole show I guess, Ken. And I imagine you’ve never been more pleased to be upstaged than you were tonight by the senator's remarkable appearance. Ken BURNS: It was just stunning for all of us who have had the privilege of just sort of getting close to the process of having the opportunity to spend some time with him and Vick ...
If you haven’t checked out The River Merrimac Bar and Grille yet, then you’re first look at the new restaurant on Water Street in Newburyport could be coming via a cineplex near you. Tuesday night the restaurant, which opened this past April, played host to the cast and crew of Bjort Productions’ new feature film “The Joneses,” which wrapped shooting with one of the movie’s most climactic scenes set in The River Merrimac’s second-floor dining room. “The Joneses,” which is being directed by local Filmmaker Chris Tyrrell, is a black comedy concerning two neighboring couples that become engaged in a deadly game of one-upmanship. “The premise is basically keeping up with the Joneses,” Tyrrell said. “It’s about two neighbors, two couples, and they’re so competitive with each other that they basically start sabotaging each other’s lives … it’s funny and it’s quirky, and it’s the type of film that is usually pretty popular in the independent film scene and at film festivals.” Ken Tache of Salem, who co-owns The River Merrimac Bar and Grille with his son, executive chef Michael Tache of Newburyport, was thrilled not only to have Tyrrell and the crew at the restaurant, but also at the chance to be a part of a feature film. “About a month ago, Chris came up and said they were considering this place to do a romantic dinner scene in,” Tache said. “They were looking around the area at different places at the time, and then a couple weeks late ...
