Brittany Murphy on "American Dreams" premiering March 9

2005-03-02T10:46:00.000-08:00

Lansing State Journal:Quality TV blooms in wake of Feb. sweeps: "'American Dreams' (8 p.m. March 9, NBC). When a producer sends a letter flattering you as a 'tastemaker' whose 'opinions matter to viewers looking for substance,' you know his show's in trouble. Jonathan Prince's charming look at 1960s life, now in its fourth and possibly final season, must justify its continued existence with a handful of episodes in this brand-new time slot - against 'American Idol,' no less. Fortunately, the show seems up to the test, as Meg (Brittany Murphy) integrates her love life, Dad (Tom Verica) takes on Philadelphia boss Frank Rizzo, and J.J. (Will Estes) wonders if he has the right stuff."

Later, she escapes in a hot air balloon that lifts her toward the heavens. Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith perform in the theater's orchestra pit.

The video was accomplished by shooting Murphy and the band against green screen and compositing them into a beautifully realized CG environment. All of the props and environments are rendered in the style of the elaborate, mechanized sets used in 19th Century theatrical productions. "

The new preview is atmospheric and cool, filmed in black and white with occasional splashes of vibrant color and comic book panels.

Little Black Book DVD Review, starring Brittany Murphy

2005-01-03T10:21:00.000-08:00

filmcritic.com Movie Review: Little Black Book: "Fall is approaching, and with it comes the next wave of lighthearted romantic comedies that are all that stands between the lonely, desperate women of America and a long, cold winter of depression and self-loathing. First out of the gate is Little Black Book, a cutesy comedy that offers about as much insight into the perils and wonder of human relationships as just about any daytime drama, but with a few laughs thrown in.

As the opening credits roll, we meet Stacy (Brittany Murphy), a young college grad heading out into the exciting world of low-budget television production. She dreams of one day working with her childhood idol, Diane Sawyer. And her mother loves Carly Simon. I don't know why the part about Carly Simon is important, but it's a recurring theme throughout the film. If her mother ever actually got any screen time, perhaps the Carly Simon thing would become at least marginally relevant to the story. But no dice. Even so, we're treated to several inexplicable Carly Simon moments that have nothing to do with anything, really, and don't add anything of substance to the film."

Review of 8 Mile (Full Screen Edition), with Brittany Murphy

2004-11-19T11:21:00.000-08:00

MediaGab - 8 Mile (Full Screen Edition): "Eminem, probably the most controversial rapper today, who is best known for his highly disturbing lyrics, stars in the first motion picture of his career, 8-mile. Eminem plays Jimmy Smith Jr., a young white rapper trying to make it big in a black dominated area in Detroit near 8-mile road, the barrier that seems to keep him from accomplishing his goals. He struggles trying to deal with home life in a trailer park with a near psychotic mother, as well as earning respect as a white rapper. He attempts to gain recognition for his talent by competing in battles between rappers of the street, he being the only one who's white. The movie seems all too familiar, being somewhat based on Eminem's real life. Kim Basinger plays his mother, Brittany Murphy his 'sort of' girlfriend, and Mekkhi Phiffer stars as Future, the DJ of the battles."

Brittany Murphy biography

2004-10-25T10:55:00.000-07:00

Times Online - Entertainment: "Brittany Murphy is like that other young woman with a similar-sounding first name, in that she seems to be prepared to risk living her life in a goldfish bowl. The only difference between her and Ms Spears is that she's not as famous - at least, not yet.
At just 26, she has appeared in 28 films, although, so far, she has impressed as "the one to watch" without quite getting to be the star. There is no doubt, however, about her star status with the gossip columnists. She was famously photographed, lips locked with Winona Ryder's, in a car down a side alley in Beverly Hills. While questions were being asked about her and Ryder, with whom she remained friends after co-starring in the 1999 film Girl, Interrupted, she started a relationship with Eminem. She played his lover in 8 Mile in 2002 and obviously took it the extra mile. So far, then, so sassy, so unpredictable and so Hollywood. But can she take one more step and make the big time in her own right? She - and we - are about to find out. "

Sin City video clips, including Britany Murphy

JoBlo.com Movie News: Sin City video clips!!: "For anyone not aware, the first part of this footage is the stuff that Rodriguez filmed out of his back-pocket (starring Josh Harnett and Marley Shelton), which he then used to try and 'sell' Frank Miller on the idea of transforming his novels into movies (almost literally, page by page and panel by panel). Miller was as amazed as anyone else by the amazing re-creations and is now on-board as co-director of the film (Quentin Tarantino also shot a day on the movie) The second part of the footage features clips of some of the many characters in the stories (the film will comprise three different stories), including Benicio Del Toro, Clive Owen, the stupendously hot Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, the unrecognizable Nick Stahl (he's the Yellow Bastard), Mickey Rourke (perfect as Marv) and yes, even the very annoying Brittany Murphy...and many others. They are intercut with actual panel shots from the comic, which shows you exactly how close Rodriguez is playing his movies."

Review of Brittany Murphy's 'Little Black Book'

2004-08-09T09:13:00.000-07:00

ABCNEWS.com : Brittany Murphy's 'Little Black Book': "The miracles of modern technology have made everything easier, even snooping on the ones we love, and Brittany Murphy admits she's guilty of that crime.

'I was at an ex-boyfriend's house once, looking for a vacuum cleaner,' she says. 'I ended up opening up a closet that I'd never opened and it was a shrine to all of his ex-girlfriends.'
Murphy, 26, goes significantly further than that in her new movie, Little Black Book, scouring her boyfriend's password-protected little black book to look up his old girlfriends to find out why those relationships didn't work out.
As romantic comedies go, Little Black Book is rife with dark humor, and her character, daytime talk show producer Stacy Holt, could easily be called a psycho girlfriend who gets what's coming to her.
'Stacy's a good person. She's a smart person. She's a cool girl,' Murphy says. 'She just takes it too far.' "

Little Black Book, starring Brittany Murphy, Feature Story

Little Black Book Feature Story: "Havoc ensues after an associate TV producer, played by Brittany Murphy, snoops into her boyfriend's electronic organizer to learn about his past.

It's not hard to say who gave the best performance in the new movie 'Little Black Book' directed by Nick Hurran. It wasn't Brittany Murphy, whose puppy-like frenetic antics and overly wide, earnest brown eyes in constant close-up were the main reasons I felt such a strong sense of nausea upon leaving this movie. Painful, indeed, to watch Murphy, who plays Stacy Holt, a young TV producer who uses her job as a pretense to dip into her boyfriend's electronic organizer, or Palm (the modern-day equivalent of the little black book, only with video footage) and investigate his ex-girlfriends."

ABC7Chicago.com: Brittany Murphy says she doesn't snoop: "Brittany Murphy plays a woman who goes through her boyfriend's Palm Pilot to learn about his past in her new movie, 'Little Black Book.' She swears she doesn't do that in real life.
'There was a screening a couple of days ago that 500 people attended. Seventy percent of all the women said that they snooped. Thirty percent of all the men said that they had snooped,' Murphy told the Boston Herald in it's Sunday editions.
Later, over a Chinese dinner for the cast, 'everyone was asked if they had snooped before. Everyone raised their hand but me,' Murphy said.
That's when co-star Holly Hunter yelled, 'Liar!'
'I said 'I'm not a liar. I swear I've never done something like that in my whole life and I wouldn't even think of doing something like this.''"

Review of Uptown Girls starring Brittany Murphy

2004-05-10T08:11:00.000-07:00

Uptown Girls: "This is a silly predictable film - but the two leads are so charming that i was still caught up in their situation. Brittany Murphy is a little annoying at first, she's just too extreme. But as she learns to deal with her new circumstances, she begins to grow up and she's really very sweet. As for Dakota Fanning, she's just adorable, even when playing a total brat. It's all very saccharine sweet, and you know exactly what's going to happen. But I still shed a tear or two. For the sentimental at heart only! "
