Critic Opinion : Tiffany Dupont : Grade B

2005-09-09T10:36:00.000-07:00

The D-list: Lydia McBride
http://baronofdeseret.typepad.com/baronblog/
movie/workglory.html

I don’t mean to demean someone who’s probably a really nice person in real life, but the movie Lydia had absolutely no screen presence at all. There’s nothing about her that would inspire a guy to want to spend more than five minutes in her presence, let alone two guys coming to blows over her. Frankly, if I were Nathan, I wouldn’t have thought twice about whether to leave her in favor of Joseph Smith and the restored church. Maybe not even after she converted…

It’s not necessarily an acting problem per se—Tiffany Dupont is adequate as an actor—only her Lydia has no charisma, no passion, nothing in her personality that demands--as the book Lydia did--that guys pay attention to her. She has the requisite beauty (albeit in a generic, unremarkable way), but I can’t help wonder whether a more ‘fiery’ actress (say, Rachel McAdams of Mean Girls and The Notebook) would have made the movie Lydia more compelling. Since the majority of the movie (including the ending) is centered upon Lydia’s relationship with Nathan and Joshua, her blandness serves as W&G one major flaw. Fortunately, it appears Ms. Dupont has already been replaced as Lydia for the next two movies in the series…

The Bedford Diaries : Tiffany Dupont

2005-07-29T11:03:00.000-07:00

THE BEDFORD DIARIES (The WB)

(TBA at midseason)

The network's description: ""The Bedford Diaries" explores contemporary New York City-based college life through the unique prism of a provocative Human Behavior and Sexuality class. Controversial and charismatic Professor Macklin (Emmy Award-nominated Matthew Modine, "And the Band Played On, " "Any Given Sunday") will challenge and inspire the show's youthful ensemble of students as they explore their identities, relationships and sexuality in the most exciting city in the world. Among the students is the smart and attractive Sarah (Tiffany Dupont, "Cheaper by the Dozen"). Sarah has everything going for her until her brother Owen (Penn Badgely, "The Mountain") walks into class. It's one thing to share in class, but Sarah hadn't planned on discussing her sexuality in front of a sibling. Owen's new class partner is Natalie, "The Jumper" (Corri English, "The Dale Earnhardt Story"). Two years ago, Natalie had a change of heart mid-dive off the roof of the Student Union. Now physically recovered, she has to face the gossip mill and her ex, Richard (Milo Ventimiglia, ‘Gilmore Girls, " ‘American Dreams"). The quintessential Park Avenue bad boy up until the moment his girlfriend jumped, Richard is now a semi-changed man – sober, attending class and editor-in-chief of The Bedford Bugle. In stark contrast is the working-class Lee (Ernest Waddell, ‘As the World Turns"), who has a noble heart, an artistic soul, a serious girlfriend and a fascination with Zoe (Victoria Cartagena, ‘Baby Fat"). Zoe talks a fast, flirty and kinky game, but despite her brash veneer, she's still a virgin. Also starring Audra McDonald (‘Wit, " ‘Law & Order") and Peter Gerety ("The Legend of Bagger Vance")."

What did they leave out: If you thought last year's "life as we know it" was obsessed with sex, move over bacon... And in a strange twist, the pilot I saw included a "coming attractions"-esque reel at the end that apparently was shot to show the network potential future storylines (and there are a few doozies).

The plot in a nutshell: Matthew Modine plays Professor Macklin, a popular, but controversial professor at the fictional (?) Bedford University in Manhattan. There he teaches the school's most sought-after elective, a Human Behavior and Sexuality class. Only 12 students are accepted each semester and each are given a video camera to serve as their private confessional over the course of the class. Among the students are the prototypical TV college kids: Sarah (Tiffany Dupont), the "good" girl; Richard (Milo Ventimiglia), the spoiled rich kid; Natalie (Corri English), the suicidal one; Zoe (Victoria Cartagena), the slutty one; Lee (Ernest Waddell), the working class one; and Owen (Penn Badgely), the nice guy and sister to Sarah. As you'd expect, it's not long before the respective potential pairings become apparent: Owen finds himself drawn to the potentially dangerous Natalie, Zoe throws herself on Lee despite him having a girlfriend, and Richard and Sarah argue in a way only future lovers do. We're also (thanks in part to the confessionals) privy to each person's secret (some of which the WB's PR spoils for you above but I won't recount here) which will apparently lead us to a deeper understanding of their personalities. Intermixed between the students we get a few brief scenes of Macklin outside the classroom, which include his colleague (Audra McDonald) and the head of his department (a sadly underutilized Peter Gerety). Basically, that's pretty much it.

What works: Somewhere in here is a good show with some interesting young actors. Unfortunately, it's going to take some digging to find that good show.

What doesn't: It's almost nausea-inducing how sex-obsessed this show is (and I say that in the sense that it overwhelms the plot, not as being offended by it being in the show). Obviously, I get this is a show about a human behavior and sexuality class (and college is very sexually focused time), but still, at some point aren't there other aspects of these characters' lives to explore? Last season's sadly short-lived "life as we know it" took quite the beating for being sex-obsessed, but at the same time it wrapped that obsession in humor and used it as a way to explore the three lead's friendships and lives at home. In "Bedford," we're given little to latch on to outside of each character's sexual predilections and history leaving them feeling very self-absorbed and empty. Even worse is that there's almost no attempt to be funny or even give an authentic look at college life. Basically these are six people whose entire lives revolve around one class and the sex they had, are having or want to have. Does that sound like your average, supposedly gifted, college student? Nevertheless, Modine, Badgely, Ventimiglia and the others have all helped create interesting characters elsewhere, so one hopes given some time and stronger material they'll be able to make their characters evolve beyond caricatures. Until then, we're stuck with bad soap-opera tactics rather than character development (Richard for example is prone to throwing his wine glass against the wall when he's angry, ooooh).

The challenges ahead: Is there an entertaining show to be had here beyond it's current sex-obsessed core? And is that really what the WB fans are clamoring for? We'll find out next year on the WB.

Biblical Esther Featured in New Motion Picture

2004-12-21T14:27:00.000-08:00

A new epic motion picture depicting the biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia (400-322 B.C.), is slated to be released in March or April, 2005

Produced by Gener8Xion Entertainment, "One Night with the King" is based on the best selling novel "Hadassah: One Night With The King," authored by Tommy Tenney and Mark Olsen.

Hadassah, also known as Esther, is a Jewish girl whose parents were murdered. She is raised by her cousin Mordecai. Esther becomes the new Queen of Persia and saves the Jewish nation from destruction by its enemy Haman.

The film is set in Rajasthan, India -- Land of the Kings -- where principal photography has been completed.

"'One Night with the King' is a story of divine destiny," said Rich Cook, Vice President of Gener8Xion Entertainment. "Hadassah was this poor, unknown peasant girl, an orphan, an outcast from a distant land, who went on to become queen of a powerful empire -- proving that anyone, no matter what their circumstances, can be used in a remarkable way when 'destiny's' hand is upon them."

Directed by Michael Sajbel, the film includes cast Tiffany Dupont as Esther, Luke Goss as King Xerxes, James Callis as Haman, John Rhys-Davies as Mordecai, Peter O'Toole as the Prophet Samuel, Omar Sharif as Prince Memucan, John Noble as Prince Admantha, and Tommy Lister as Hegai.

"One Night with the King" is aimed to be released on March 25, 2005, which marks Good Friday and Esther's Jewish Feast of Purim.

One Night With the King : Story of Esther

2004-11-12T11:30:00.000-08:00

No, it’s not a story about Elvis, but a movie about Queen Esther. A smallish, independent Christian company is making the film, based on a novel by Tommy Tenny, an evangelical Christian writer.

However, Susan Zahn, the film’s publicist, told me that the big-budget film is looking for a crossover market of secular and Jewish moviegoers, and there are no specifically Christian allusions mixed in with the Purim story retelling.

Starring as Esther is Tiffany Dupont, who was discovered in a talent search. Such notables as Peter O’Toole (as the prophet Samuel) and Omar Sharif (as a Persian prince) have signed on. “King” is scheduled for release on March 25, close to the Passover and Easter holidays.

Tiffany Dupont, Omar Sharif, Peter O’Toole in “One Night With The King"

2004-10-20T08:19:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles, CA -- 8X Entertainment, the Hollywood-based production company which produced the 1999 hit film, “The Omega Code,” has begun a three week film shoot in northwestern India. The historical epic, “One Night With the King,” is based on the best selling novel, “Hadassah: One Night With The King” by author Tommy Tenney.

“One Night With The King” chronicles the life of the young Jewish girl, Hadassah, played by Hollywood newcomer, Tiffany Dupont. Dupont portrays the rags-to-riches heroine who goes on to become the Biblical Esther, the Queen of Persia (400–322 B.C.), who saves the Jewish nation from annihilation at the hands of its arch enemy Haman (played by James Callis; “Helen of Troy,” 2003) while winning the heart of the fiercely handsome King Xerxes, played by Luke Goss, 36 (“Blade II,” 2002; “ZigZag,” 1999).

“‘One Night With The King’ is a multi-million dollar epic teeming with romance and imagery and complete with suspense, political war conspiracies, and religious intrigue,” says TBN publicist, Susan Zahn of WDC Media.

“Having motion picture legends Peter O’Toole (the Prophet Samuel) and Omar Sharif (Prince Memucan) starring on the same bill only adds to the film’s overall mystique,” says Zahn. “Who could forget the stunning epic, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962) and its incredible visuals!” exclaims Zahn. “Or the mirage scene in which Omar Sharif appears from the desert mist or the scene where Peter O’Toole returns in Arab garb to be cheered as a hero by his army colleagues?”

The “One Night With The King” cast includes such notable talent as John Rhys-Davies as Mordecai and John Noble as Prince Admantha. Both actors starred in the blockbuster trilogy “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers,” and “Return of the King.” The film also features veteran actor Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister Jr. in the lead role of Hegai. Lister has appeared in over 80 films.

“The account of Esther is a passionate story,” relates Tommy Tenney. “It’s full of reversals of fortune as the tension of the story builds. It’s rooted deeply in two basic human emotions—love and hate,” says the best-selling author.

With the film’s historical background and its majestic sets, the actors cast in “One Night With The King” provide the movie with a rich landscape of ethnic diversity. “This project naturally lends itself to being multicultural,” states Tenney. “It stretches across huge cultural divides from religion to ethnicity. Esther, as an historical figure, appeals to both the Christian and Jewish communities worldwide. The fact that the storyline unfolds in ancient Iraq and Iran is of interest to Muslims as well,” explains Tenney.

Adapted for film by screenwriter Stephan Blinn, directed by Michael Sajbel and produced by TBN Films, 8X Entertainment and Tommy Tenney. “One Night With The King” is scheduled for theatrical release on March 25, a date that coincides with the Christian Good Friday and Esther’s Jewish Feast of Purim.

Joan of Arcadia

2003-10-29T08:33:00.000-08:00

In the second episode, God wants Joan to join Mrs. Lischak’s (Elaine Hendrix) AP Chemistry class with her brother Luke. It is in this episode that she meets Adam and Grace for the first time. Kevin gets his driver’s license and an ugly station wagon to go with it. He almost gets a date with a fast food drive-thru girl named Barbie (Tiffany DuPont), but chickens out. Will learns that he is on the list to join a fraternal order, but the man who wants to induct him, Fire Chief Tom Wyatt (Conor O’Farrell), turns out to be the person who set the fire in an arson case that resulted in a death.
