New Reviews for Smashed

on September 7, 2012September 8, 2012 by Jessica Comments Off

With SMASHED being screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this week, a couple of sites have released their reviews about Mary, as well as the film itself in general. Here’s what ComingSoon.net had to say about the film:

We’re big fans of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her underrated ability to deliver deadpan lines in a funny way and handle more dramatic material, and this feels like the role that gives her the chance to really fly. Kate is the definition of an obnoxious drunk and Winstead’s portrayal of someone that out of control gets grating at times. We know that it’s wrong to laugh but it’s also hard not to since Kate’s out of control is funny at times… or maybe we’re just laughing at the awkardness of the situations. That’s actually one of the things about “Smashed” that’s intriguing in the barometer it creates in what the audience will find funny.

The Film Stage can’t wait for the film to be released into theaters after writing the following:

Delivering my favorite performance of Sundance was Mary Elizabeth Winstead, with her heartbreaking turn as an alcoholic in Smashed. While there are some conveniences in the story’s structure, they do not detract from this powerful showing from a promising up-and-comer. A single scene where Winstead smiles, talking about her addiction, then sinks into sorrow just moments later epitomizes the talent on display here.

Also, Yahoo named Mary one of the fresh faces of 2012 because of her role in SMASHED: Continue reading New Reviews for Smashed

New Updates on A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan

on August 30, 2012August 30, 2012 by Jessica Comments Off

EW did an interview with A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III director Roman Coppola where they revealed that the film will be out sometime in February 2013. Coppola also revealed a little bit about Mary’s role in the film:

Aubrey Plaza and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are also in the film. How do these women shape the things going on in his head?
Aubrey Plaza is the producer of his design studio. She’s trying to keep him on the ball in terms of keeping him focused and applying his energy to getting his work done. His business is foundering a bit. And Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the best friend of his girlfriend who just broke up with him. She is not so supportive of their relationship.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Set in a stylized Los Angeles, A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is a daring, playful comedy of lost love, friendship, revenge fantasies, and Brandy Alexanders. Charles (Charlie Sheen) is a successful graphic designer whose fame, money andcharm have provided him with a seemingly perfect life. When his true love, a perplexing beauty named Ivana, suddenly breaks off their relationship, Charles’ life falls apart and he swirls into a downward spiral of doubt, confusion and reflection. With the support of his loyal intimates— Kirby (Jason Schwartzman), Saul (Bill Murray), and his sister, Izzy (Patricia Arquette) — he begins the hard road of self-evaluation to come to terms with a life without Ivana. The film begs the question: Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?

Gallery Updates Interviews Movies Smashed

Mary Featured in The Lab Magazine!

on August 29, 2012October 11, 2012 by Jessica 1 Comment

With Smashed coming out this fall, The Lab magazine has done an interview with Mary with the questions being done by her Smashed co-star Nick Offerman. Below are some of the questions Nick asked Mary, and you can read the full interview here. Be sure to check out the lovely pics of Mary in the gallery. Love their interview! So charming and funny.

Have you been in a less comfortable scene than our driveway scene in Smashed?

MEW—I can’t help but think you were more uncomfortable than me. I watched as you slowly died inside and I felt the utmost embarrassment for you. In a good way!

If you were forced to tell me a name-droppy story that your usual humility would normally prohibit, what would it be?

MEW—I once had dinner with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening and he told me stories about Natalie Wood, Madonna, and Edie Sedgwick. I just dropped that on you so hard.

NO—I tried Twitter for a few weeks then promptly quit because I think it has a pernicious influence upon us. How do you feel about the social network Kool-Aid?

MEW—I come very close to deleting my Twitter account on an almost daily basis, but it keeps reeling me in. I’m quite terrified of my own reliance on technology/social media and admired your decisive move away from it. I am simply too weak!

NO—Which of your co-stars did you find more charming: me or Donny Osmond?

MEW—The only real memory I have of Donny Osmond is that we threw him a party at which we all wore purple socks. Apparently he likes his socks in a particular hue. And he has a dazzling smile, but no facial hair. I think we all know who wins this battle.

Toronto Star Reviews Smashed Plus new The Spectacular Now Pics

on August 28, 2012 by Jessica Comments Off

With TIFF just around the corner, The Toronto Star has reviewed Mary’s upcoming film Smashed saying her performance is “superb”:

A superb, career-making performance by Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Kate, a young, married Grade 1 teacher who is what they call a “high-functioning alcoholic.” Her husband (Aaron Paul) is her drinking buddy but the party is getting increasingly out of hand, as evidenced in the first shocking scenes. The script goes to some predictable places but is lifted by the supporting cast, especially Megan Mullally as her trusting principal and Mary Kay Place as Kate’s similarly afflicted mother.

So happy for Mary! Here’s to an Oscar nomination. 🙂

Also, some new behind-the-scenes pics of Mary in The Spectacular Now have been posted via the film’s screenplay writer, where Mary wrapped all her scenes for the film.

RT @thisisweber: That’s a wrap for the so cool, so talented @M_E_Winstead! Thank you for being a part of #TheSpectacularNow!

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III Movies News and Rumors

Mary to Star in Boxing Drama “Johnny”?

on August 23, 2012August 23, 2012 by Jessica Comments Off

According to the site fightnews, Hollywood is planning two upcoming projects based on former boxing champion Johnny Tapia. The first is a soon-to-be-released documentary, entitled “Tapia,” highlighting Tapia’s triumphs and tribulations .The second is a Hollywood feature – “Johnny” – which will soon start filming in New Mexico early next year. The actor cast in the role of young Tapia is Shiloh Fernandez. Teresa will be played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

This is all just rumored for now, but if any confirmation or debunking comes along, I’ll be sure to update you guys. Also, it seems that A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III will be hitting theaters next year and a composer has already been set in place. According to Indiewire:

In an interview with GQ, however, Coppola provided a little update on the pic regarding music, noting that he “used exclusively the music of Liam Hayes” having been “absorbed” by his tunes.

Roman Coppola (the film’s director) also talked a little bit about the film:

Coppola recently explained to Interview Magazine that “for me, magic means a sense of delight, and a sense of play in fantasy. And that for sure is in the movie. It’s very imaginative in that there’s certain points of fantasy. There’s also a Western sequence, and there’s just a lot of twist and turns. In order to come to terms and come to understand this relationship that is over, he learns to process it in his own unique way.”
