Warning: contains spoilers for both shows
Ghosts (UK) has just finished its fourth series on BBC One, and Ghosts (US), the American adaptation, is a few episodes in to its second season on CBS. Both series offer a mix of dry humour, black comedy, and real warmth in their characters. Both shows can make you laugh and cry within the space of a few minutes as they swing from comedy to tragedy and back again. But there are a fair few differences between the two that remind us of some of our differences in both the history of the two countries, and the humour.
The original British show is written by and stars the sketch comedy team behind the children’s television classic Horrible Histories. The team’s passion for history is clear throughout the show and the selection of ghosts from various historical periods who could possibly have died...

David’s Quick Take for the tl;dr Media Consumer:
In posting this review, I might be giving more time and thought to the merits of Beyond The Law, Norman Mailer’s second venture in pursuit of auteurist credibility, than went into the film’s original conception and construction. As the middle installment of three films that Mailer churned out in a brief dabble as a director, we have a companion piece, maybe even an evil twin, to his first effort Wild 90. That film, released in early 1967, records the imaginary, sloppily performed interplay of three seriously drunk gangsters evading the cops as they’re holed up in a dingy Brooklyn apartment. A few months later, over two nights in October ’67, Mailer and the same pals he recruited for Wild 90 (Buzz Farber and Mickey Knox) show up again for another foray into experiential improv performance art, this time as...

★★★★☆Inspiration for Amma Asante's sophomore feature, Belle (2013), was a tad unconventional; an 18th century painting entitled Dido and Elizabeth, which depicted a sprightly-looking, well-dressed black woman with her white cousin. By the standards of the day, this was a very unusual image that broke the social and artistic conventions of the age. Like the painting, Asante takes convention and turns it on its head, telling the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the mixed-race daughter of a naval captain Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode) who leaves his illegitimate child in the care of his uncle, the Chief Justice of England Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson).

Wonderful true story about a mixed-race woman raised in an aristocratic British family in the late 18th century; like the best Jane Austen romance with an angry social conscience. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m hungry for stories about women
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Warning: I am about to get sweary about a genteel romantic costume drama.
To everyone who has ever said or believed that white men built the world on their own and bestowed civilization on the rest of us? Fuck you. To anyone who has ever said or believed that the stories of women and everyone not-white haven’t been told because they’re not worth telling because, obvs, they did nothing significant? Fuck you.
That the stories of women and nonwhite people — and nonwhite women! — have been erased from the history books does not...

Belle
Written by Misan Sagay
Directed by Amma Asante
UK, 2013
There is no question about the absolute elegance and cautionary observations that captures the provocative essence of the well-received 19-century costume drama Belle. British-Ghanaian filmmaker Amma Asante oversees an inviting and lyrical exposition entrenched in the societal shades of rejection, feminism, racism and cultural identity crisis. Interestingly, the examination of the color barrier controversies usually associated with the historical backbone of America’s sordid past is now punctuated across the pond where colonial England is placed under the revealing microscope involving its early days into institutionalized slavery among the high society class. Belle not only is a radiant piece of entertainment but also skillfully serves as a global history lesson into the darkness of humanity demonstrated well beyond the American shorelines.

HBO has purchased a gay-rights drama set in the 1960s from producers Adam Shankman and Dave Kajganich. The show, currently called Open City, is set during John Lindsay's mayoral reign and follows characters from different corners of the city as they process and participate in cultural upheaval; the show will also cover the (perhaps) surprising relationship between the Mafia and the Stonewall Inn. (Ronnie Lorenzo, one of the original mob-linked owners of the bar, is onboard as a consulting producer.) Is it too much to hope for a subtle Bob Benson shout-out?...

We're set to see a whole lot more of Crowley next season on "Supernatural". Actor Mark Sheppard, who plays the often amusing King of Hell, has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming tenth season.
This is a rare event. Aside from two actresses in season three, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins have been the only accredited regulars to date. Sheppard has appeared in nine episodes each of the past two seasons, this would indicate he'll be appearing in quite a few more next year. [Source: Buddy TV]

HBO is turning its lens on the 1960s cultural revolution. The premium cable network has picked up a script for Open City, from feature writer David Kajganich and executive producer/director Adam Shankman (Hairspray), The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Open City is set in the vibrant, turbulent John Lindsay-era New York of the late 1960s and explores characters from disparate corners of Manhattan as they navigate the cultural revolution and political turmoil of the era. The drama will also examine the unlikely alliance between the Mafia and the city's gay community in the opening of a West Village nightclub.

Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Admiral Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode). Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson), Belle’s lineage affords her certain privileges, yet her status prevents her from the traditions of noble social standing.
While her cousin Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) chases suitors for marriage, Belle is left on the sidelines wondering if she will ever find love. After meeting an idealistic young vicar’s son bent on changing society, he and Belle help shape Lord Mansfield’s role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.
Directed by Amma Asante (A Way Of Life) and written by Misan Sagay (The Secret Laughter Of Women), Belle opens in St. Louis on May 16th.

A good candidate for the unexpected sleeper indie crossover of the summer looks to be Fox Searchlight's "Belle," which hits theaters this week. The film tells the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle, born in the West Indies in 1761 to an aristocrat, Admiral Sir John Lindsay, and an African slave. She was brought back to England and, as her father's sole heir, albeit an illegitimate one, was raised among great privilege, though not allowed to participate in all aspects of society (she had to dine separately from the rest of her family for instance). "Belle," comes from British director Amma Asante, who made a huge impression a decade ago with gritty drama "A Way Of Life" (which won her a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut—an award that's subsequently gone to the likes of Joe Wright, Andrea Arnold and Duncan Jones), tells Belle's story through the frame of both her...

The buzz surrounding the film, for the most part, centers on the film's lead, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, playing the title character, Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Admiral Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode). The story follows Belle as she's raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson), Belle's lineage affords her certain privileges, yet her status prevents her from the traditions of noble social standing.

The second film from Amma Asante is Toronto's second slavery tale: the extraordinary story of a black society woman in 18th century England
A painting of a pair of young aristrocrats hangs in Scone Palace in Perth. The woman on the right stares placidly out of the frame. She has blue eyes and pale skin. Her hand rests affectionately on the arm of the second woman, who is the more beautiful. She holds a fruit basket, has her curly hair wrapped in a turban. Her name was Dido Elizabeth Belle. She moved in English high society of the late 18th century. And she was black.
Belle was the illegitimate daughter of John Lindsay, a Royal Navy captain who sent her to live with his uncle, the first Earl of Mansfield, at Kenwood House in Hampstead. She was raised as member of the family alongside Mansfield's charge, Elizabeth - the other woman in the painting.

Summer. Wilderness. Program. Three seemingly innocuous words when ingested individually. However, put them together, and what do you get? Well not a lot really, the same three words with a lot less sense than each word garners on its own. Now, I, and you, and we, could speculate all day long, and maybe the odd night, on what exactly a Summer Wilderness Program is or what it entails.
I could even write a review in a professional manner, instead of as if it were in fact not a review but some grand, conversational novella in the first person. I could, but I won’t and we could speculate, but we won’t. Instead what we’ll do is ask the man himself, or rather listen to songs said man (Jon Lindsay) has knocked together and gathered under the aforementioned trio of words.
