Not long after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Kelly Overton got a big break when she was cast in the memorable Broadway stage adaptation of The Graduate, with Jason Biggs in the Dustin Hoffman role and Kathleen Turner famously baring all for her portrayal of Mrs. Robinson. Film and TV roles followed, including a part in The Ring Two. Overton has also been busy with a project of her own, a low-budget indie thriller called The Collective that she co-wrote and co-directed with husband Judson Pearce Morgan. In it, she plays a woman who rushes to New York City after getting a cryptic voice mail message from her sister, who has since disappeared. Her search points the way to a creepy, clandestine society that, judging by the film's trailer, loves getting freaky in old cathedrals. The Collective will premiere in New York on May 31st as part of the Brooklyn International Film Festival, with a second screening on June 5th. Details here.

Brooklyn got a new bowling alley, and now Manhattan has a drive-in movie theater. Well, sort of. At first glance of the theater's description you realize it isn't a classic drive-in, unfortunately. It isn't outside, to begin with, and the price is more than your annual Netflix fee.

TONIGHT: You can catch former Get A Life creator/star Chris Elliot present his semi-forgettable slapstick movie, Cabin Boy, as well as partake in a Q&A at The Anthology Film Archives at 8PM. Featuring the likes of Andy Richter, David Letterman, and Ricki Lake, Cabin Boy is a film that people either love or absolutely can’t stand watching. Either way, we still think observing Chris Elliot is worth the trip. And if you’re planning a night in of cuddling with your mouse or simply interested in wasting more time at work, then you can play trailer catch up with the futuristic V for Vendetta starring Natalie Portman, the remake of The Fog, Jennifer Aniston’s Rumor Has It (in which she plays a woman who discovers The Graduate might have been based on her family), and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.

The American Film Institute's Top 100 Movie Quotes special, hosted by Pierce Brosnan, showcased the most memorable quotes which had a cultural impact and ensured a film’s legacy, with “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” taking #1 and Titanic’s “I’m the King of the world!” (which they *actually* described as “a small goodybag the audience took home with them),” at #100. We were saddened that Dirty Dancing's “nobody puts baby in the corner” came in at a low #98 and somewhat surprised by the few one-word quotes: Citizen Kane's "rosebud" at #17 and The Graduate's "plastics" at #42. And was anyone else baffled by how Star Wars only had one quote, but both Jerry Maguire and James Bond had two? What about "my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father - prepare to die?"

This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.It's a moment for everyone to have Schadenfreude, even though some New Yorkers were shocked - "Oh, my God! I really thought it was going to last," said one to the Daily News. Anyway, translation of the press statement: Gothamist salutes the couple for confusing the tabloids, even bringing Star to put them on their cover, saying they were back together and ready to make a baby. Anyway, cynically speaking, their film careers have been a mixed bag since their marriage. Sure, Aniston had The Good Girl, but it was more to establish her acting chops; she's been relegated to playing Jim Carrey's and Ben Stiller's significant others, which is never a good things...and a faux-sequel of The Graduate with Rob Reiner directing? Egads. Pitt has remained looking hot, which is all Gothamist asks.

This has to be a joke, right? Because it's basically just like the jokey The Graduate, the Sequel, premise that The Graduate screenwriter Buck Henry faux-pitched in The Player. Man, next we'll be seeing Habeas Corpus.
