Sneak Peek at Melora Hardin's Directorial Debut, "YOU"

Viewers might know Melora Hardin best from her recurring role as Jan Levinson, the sometimes lover of Michael Scott, on NBC's The Office but Hardin, set to star next in FX pilot Lights Out, has gone behind the camera for her directorial debut.

The film, YOU, is slated to be released on iTunes and Amazon this weekend... just in time for Mother's Day.
Hardin stars in the film alongside Hardin's real-life husband Gildart Jackson, who also wrote the script. YOU also stars Brenda Strong, Allison Mack, Amy Pietz, Don Michael Paul, Joely Fisher, and Kate Flannery.

The trailer and official description of the film can be found below.

"Miranda (Melora Hardin) and Rawdon (Gildart Jackson) bask in the bliss of a perfect family moment as they cuddle in bed with their infant daughter Quincey. When their family dreams are shattered, Rawdon is left to raise Quincey alone, struggling to overcome the loss of his soulmate in the hopes of finding love again."



YOU will be released online on May 8th.

Wow! How cool! I can't wait to see YOU! I love sad movies that make you feel so relaxed and happy in the end. It's so neat that Melora directed a drama after all the comedy we know her for. I'm looking forward to seeing the way she tells that story.

Looks like Melora Hardin has many talents! I think she's a stage performer/singer too? And she was great in The Office.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

Pilot Inspektor: CBS' "Smith"

I may just have to change my original "What I'll Be Watching This Fall" post, as I sat down and finally watched CBS' new crime drama Smith this weekend. (What? It's taken me a long time to make my way through the stack of pilot DVDs.) While it's on following Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars on Tuesday nights (10 pm ET/PT, to be exact), I'm going to be sure to leave enough room on my TiVo to make sure that I catch this compelling, amoral drama. While one can't help but be impressed by what might just be the most marquee-friendly cast in primetime--Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen, Jonny Lee Miller, Amy Smart, Simon Baker, and Franky G all star and Shohreh Aghdashloo has a recurring role--the pilot's premise alone earned major points in my book: it's a crime drama from the point of view of the criminals, who engage in high-stakes heists. But don't be alarmed; it's nothing like NBC's short-lived Heist . Instead, think of it as The Italian

The Daily Beast: "How The Killing Went Wrong"

While the uproar over the U.S. version of The Killing has quieted, the show is still a pale imitation of the Danish series on which it is based. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "How The Killing Went Wrong," in which I look at how The Killing has handled itself during its second season, and compare it to the stunning and electrifying original Danish series, Forbrydelsen , on which it is based. (I recently watched all 20 episodes of Forbrydelsen over a few evenings.) The original is a mind-blowing and gut-wrenching work of genius. It’s not necessary to rehash the anger that followed in the wake of the conclusion last June of the first season of AMC’s mystery drama The Killing, based on Søren Sveistrup’s landmark Danish show Forbrydelsen, which follows the murder of a schoolgirl and its impact on the people whose lives the investigation touches upon. What followed were irate reviews, burnished with the “burning intensity of 10,000 white-hot suns
