Kaleidoscope 2009: Important Celebrity Events (Part 1/4)
7 hours ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
AceShowbiz, in a bid to mark the end of 2009 and to celebrate the new year, presents its readers with a list of the most memorable moments happening in Hollywood throughout the past 12 months. The list is compiled into Kaleidoscope that will cover happenings occurring in music, movie, TV, as well as the life of celebrities. The Kaleidoscope will be presented quarterly with the first one highlighting significant news happening in between January and March. In each of the months, there will be one highlighted event.
The first trimester of 2009 witnessed bad and good things taking place in the life of famous celebs. There were deaths, accident, run-in with the laws, and break-ups. However, there were also good news, like birth, engagement, and wedding. Not only those good and bad add spice to the famous people's life, but also they teach them one or two life lessons.

Fashion activists name and shame the fur-clad celebs
26 December 2009 4:06 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Among those attacked for their choice of clothing are Kate Moss, Catherine Zeta Jones and Rihanna
Kate Moss, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Elizabeth Hurley are used to dominating society's best-dressed lists. But this week they will find themselves topping a more dishonourable fashion list.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) Foundation has drawn up a roll call of the fashion world's Worst Dressed Celebrities based on their penchant for pelts. The Duchess of Cornwall and Shirley Bassey will also grace the list, as will football Wags Coleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard, and the singer Rihanna.
The "winner", to be chosen in an online poll, will be announced in February by Stella McCartney, a vegetarian who refuses to use any leather and fur in her designs.
The award is considered to be a powerful weapon in the fight against fur. Last year Paris Hilton and Christina Ricci announced a »

Movie Review: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Photo: Sony Pictures Classics Terry Gilliam's mind doesn't operate the same as the rest of us. His imagination runs wild on occasion and delivers films such as Brazil and the acid trip that is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is more Brazil than it is Fear and Loathing, but in this respect we're talking about measures of obscurity, because this is a film all its own. I've watched it twice now and the first time looked at it with a crooked eye, not exactly sure what to make of it. My second viewing cleared up a variety of details -- sorting the story out -- but not entirely convincing me the film is up to snuff. Gilliam delivers a satisfying carnival trip into the imagination, but it never does much more than become a mildly intriguing, »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part One
15 December 2009 7:47 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
After such success with this last year, today comes the first in a multi-chapter look at the various cinematic releases hitting the U.S. in 2010.
Each 'Volume' contains brief descriptions and editorial opinion/analysis of around 25-30 films, and at present it's looking to run around nine volumes in length.
Expect the remaining ones to go up between now and the first official weekend of releases on January 8th.
13
Opens: 2010
Cast: Jason Statham, Alexander Skarsgard, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone, 50 Cent
Director: Géla Babluani
Summary: A remake of 2005 French thriller "13 (Tzameti)". A naive young man assumes a dead man's identity and finds himself embroiled in an underground world of power, violence, and chance where men gamble behind closed doors on the lives of other men.
Analysis: Remakes are very common, the same director remaking his own film in English is rarer but still not unheard of ("Funny Games," "Bangkok Dangerous," "The »

Download Samuel L. Jackson to Your iPhone
13 December 2009 6:30 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Three years ago, the big piece of Samuel L. Jackson technology was a voicemail you could send out encouraging people to see Snakes on a Plane. Jackson recorded a short message and who knows how many names that summer, and you'd pick a name and submit a phone number and presto: Personalized Sam Jackson voicemail.
He's stepped it up for 2009/2010, releasing his own iPhone soundboard app, which also works for an iPod Touch. It's Sam Jackson quotes and advice for any occasion, presumably delivered with a hint of Jules Winnfield. And, because it can't be known as anything else, the new app is called iSamJackson.
According to Geeks of Doom, "The soundboard is fully customizable, includes a personality scanner and an “Ask Sam” feature that allows users to seek instantaneous advice from the world’s most badass living individual."
Personally, I'd rather have the wallet from Pulp Fiction or Christina Ricci chained to my radiator, »

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: December 13, 2009

This weekend:
Disney leap Frogs the competition to get to number one; Andy Daly moves to Jelly Stone Park; a Twilight star sees Hereafter; Polanski might not get a release but his Ghost Writer will; Diaz is a Bad Teacher; Frank Langella is an Unknown White Male and Frankenstein Lives in Death Race 2.
Box Office
Clint Eastwood’s Invictus scored just under $10 million over the weekend from 2,125 locations. Opening much like Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby, the film has had solid reviews from critics. With Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon head-lining, the film might have a chance of hitting the $100 million club if it gets some awards momentum.
Disney’s The Princess and the Frog took the top spot this weekend with an estimated $25 million. The film which had been on limited release in selected cinemas has gotten great reviews and with no real competition for the next »

Monster Movies
11 December 2009 4:07 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Glenn here from Stale Popcorn here to discuss one of my favourite films from 2003, Patty Jenkins' Monster. Earlier this year when Courtney Hunt's Frozen River was released here in Australia I wrote in my review that It's a shame that Courtney Hunt's Frozen River is so good. It's unfortunate because now I will most likely be incredibly disappointed when this debut director falls between the cracks of the lead performance she helped create. I then went on to cite Boys Don't Cry's Kimberley Pierce (9 years between films) and Monster as examples.
Patty Jenkins has yet to make a second film after her Monster debut and there has never even been any word on her wanting to make another film. That is such a shame since she brought such fascinating sense of place to the Aileen Wuornos film and her twists on the idea of "American Gothic »

‘Taken’ Writer To Get Some ‘Vengeance’
8 December 2009 8:10 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Action-thriller fans out there will probably remember the Liam Neeson film Taken, the sleeper hit which grossed over $200 million worldwide on a relatively small budget of just $25 million. I wasn’t a fan of the film myself (I don’t wanna’ get into why again), but clearly I’m in the minority.
Anyway, the writer of that film was Robert Mark Kamen, who even if you don’t know the name you’ll know the movies he’s written in the past: apart from Taken, on his resume is The Fifth Element, The Transporter trilogy and three Karate Kid movies.
We previously reported that Taken 2 is in the cards for Kamen and partner Luc Besson, but what else is on deck for the action writer? Well, Variety is reporting that CBS Films has struck a preemptive deal to acquire Vengeance, which is an action pitch by Kamen.

Sally Potter: 'There was no such thing as an easy ride'
4 December 2009 1:56 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
More familiar with life on the fringes of British cinema, director Sally Potter finds herself the subject of a BFI retrospective. But she has no interest in looking back
In the late 1980s, Sally Potter was scratching around for funding to make Orlando, the Virginia Woolf adaptation widely considered her finest film, as well as a formative moment in the career of its star, Tilda Swinton. Potter's friend, the visionary director Michael Powell, had secured her a 10-minute meeting with Martin Scorsese, in which she hoped to convince him to extend a helping hand to a fellow maverick.
"Tilda and I went with our producer to meet Scorsese in New York," says the 60-year-old Potter, seated at a table in her east London office. "We walked into his place and nearly fainted with admiration. He then proceeded to spend the entire 10 minutes talking about how incredibly difficult life was for »

Oscar MythBusting: One Day They'll Be Nominated!
2 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Most fans of established actors believe that one day their favorite will be nominated for an Oscar. In 2009 campaigns hopes are particularly high for Sandra Bullock, Alfred Molina, Colin Firth and Christopher Plummer. Fans of James McAvoy and Sam Rockwell still hold out longshot hope. But guess what? The odds are, generally speaking, against them on February 2nd (two months hence!) when the lucky 20 are called.
Most actors aren't ever nominated for the big prize. People seemed surprise to read in an old Oscar Mythbusting column I wrote years ago that the majority of nominated actors (approximately 67%) never receive a second nomination. But I did the research and it's true. Even less likely than a second nomination: a first one. Consider this...
The following (living) legends have still never been nominated despite rich bodies of work and several classic films or exuberantly praised performances: Mia Farrow, Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Plummer and Donald Sutherland. »

[DVD Review] Shorts
1 December 2009 1:00 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
When he isn’t skulking around the dark and blood-splattered alleyways of the Mexican underworld, director Robert Rodriguez runs a nice, profitable sideline in garish, high-energy kid flicks. A quick Read of his resume: Spy Kids, Once upon a time in Mexico, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl, Planet Terror, Shorts, and next up Machette, can give the impression the helmer is the ultimate proponent of the “one for them, one for me” school of filmmaking. Except, of course, they’re all for him. Once again he cheerfully does the whole shebang; writer, producer, handling the score, overseeing the effects, presumably on a diet of enough sugar to single-handedly raise the Gdp of Brazil. Perhaps he just likes the change of pace.
With that in mind this is yet another high-concept, pre-teen wish-fulfillment fantasy that finds the corporate controlled suburb of Black Falls thrown into colorful CGI chaos when »

Kellan Lutz is fresh off his whirlwind press tour for New Moon, and he headed to Miami last night to let off a little steam.

Kellan Lutz Parties Solo in South Beach
1 December 2009 8:58 AM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Kellan Lutz may play vampire Emmett Cullen in Twilight, but the actor's so obviously not the undead—proven by this weekend's vacation in South Beach, land of eternal sunshine. The New Moon star was in town for last night's unveiling of the new Audi A8 at the Fontainebleau hotel, where Christina Ricci, Chris Noth and Ben McKenzie were also spotted having fun. And you know how Kellan swears he's single despite getting snapped making out with maybe-girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord last month (and spending last New Year's Eve with her in South Beach)? Well, he certainly seemed single this time... The actor was spotted partying at Set late Sunday night. He had a corner table »
