If ever there was any question as to whether Community star Alison Brie could make it as a rapper, those doubts have now been silenced.... read more

A keen observation of the transition from artsy hipsterhood to responsible adulthood, Michael Mohan’s Save the Date examines the difficulties young adults face considering grown-up phases like marriage when half of their parents have divorced. With irrepressibly appealing performers playing flawed characters, he strikes a chord that resonates, even if some of the notes are a bit familiar.... read more

Two of cult television’s favorite sidekicks get to step into leading roles in Save the Date, which premiered earlier this year at Sundance, and will be available On Demand starting Nov. 8 and in theaters Dec. 14. Alison Brie (Community) and Lizzy Caplan (Party Down) play sisters who are dating two best friends. One is eager to settle down, while the other isn’t sure what she wants. Also in the film is Caplan’s one-time co-star Martin Starr (Party Down), as well as Geoffrey Arend ((500) Days of Summer) and Marc Webber (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). Watch the trailer below.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsCommunity's Alison Brie Testing for Captain America Sequel
This summer it was revealed that former Community producers Anthony and Joe Russo were selected to direct the Captain America sequel. Perhaps they’ll get as big of a say in casting decisions as shot selection when their former co-worker, Alison Brie, reads for the part of the female lead.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsCommunity: "Virtual Systems Analysis" (3.16)
Since its first appearance, the dreamatorium—which may seem like a fixture of the show at this point, but actually just arrived nine episodes ago—has functioned as a way of compartmentalizing Abed’s strangeness. It allows Community to have fun with his pop culture obsession without having it take over the entire show as often, but it’s also a metaphor for what the show frequently wants us to think about Abed: an open space that can imagine anything but requires input from the outside. He’s a character who supposedly lacks the sort of inner life that’s found in other humans, and “Virtual... read more

Since we won’t be seeing Community again for a while, I’m very happy that the show went out on a high note. And NBC has been very cagey about the back half of the season—yes, we’ve been assured that there will be one, but how it’ll happen remains undecided. NBC has enough struggling sitcoms that it seems conceivable that Community will end up back on the air during the spring season… but then it might not. It might get thrown away in one night or scattered around the summer to languish.... read more
Found in: TV, ReviewsCommunity Review: "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" (3.9)
Last night’s episode of Community had two plots but one of the main things connecting them was their reliance on old sitcom stories. This isn’t Abed going into a Christmas wonderland in his mind here, instead this is standard stuff. In fact, the show goes out of its way to tell you that, when Troy mentions the way Abed has seen his plotline played out 100 times previously on television and can’t be fooled. You’re supposed to recognize that these are pretty ordinary events, to the point that I doubt they work nearly as well if you’re unaware.... read more

Ever since NBC’s unjust announcement that the network was benching Community until sometime in 2012, the show has been riding a wave of much deserved success. read more
Found in: TV, NewsCommunity Review: "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" (3.8)
If you’re reading this article you’re almost certainly aware of Community‘s current troubles. The show is not officially canceled by any means. It has a full order that will, we’ve been assured, be fulfilled. However, that’s the only good news. After December we don’t know when the show will be back, or how long it will be back for. Anyone who remembers the third season of Arrested Development may end up feeling some deja vu here. Similar scheduling shenanigans forced that show off the air after the fall, and Fox only aired the final episodes in one short, difficult-to-find block... read more
