The 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2010
31 December 2009 9:38 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
For many people, a new year means a time for new habits, resolutions, and fresh starts. For myself though, it’s always been about one thing and one thing only: 365 days of brand-new films!
And of course, Hollywood being Hollywood, there’s the usual litany of sequels, super-hero spectacle, remakes, and state-of-the-art Hollywood summer craziness filled with all manner of digital monsters and explosions. But there’s also new films from Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and - most intriguing of all - a ballet thriller from Darren Aronofsky. Come on, admit it - you know you got excited when you heard the words “ballet thriller!” All that, and we also see the return of Michael Douglas in his seminal role as Gordon Gecko.
Read on after the jump for my list of the ten films that - for reasons both good and bad - I’m most looking forward to seeing in the new year. »

The Foywonder's Ten Worst Horror Films of the Decade
23 December 2009 8:31 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The first decade of the new millennium has come to an end, and that means it is now time for film sites all over the web to begin posting their various retrospectives and lists recalling the decade that was. I generally as a rule dislike such lists because they are always so subjective. Then I said screw it and took it upon myself to do one of my own naming the ten worst horror movies of the past decade. Besides, people love bitching on the Internet about lists like this, and who am I to deny readers yet another excuse to get into pointless flame wars over personal opinions.
Of course, this list is just my personal opinion which is not legally binding ... unless Proposition 304 passes. And we all pray that it will.
I set two rules when putting this list together: Only horror movies that received fairly wide theatrical »

'The forgotten': '24' star Elisha Cuthbert pulling double duty
7 December 2009 11:41 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Elisha Cuthbert is joining "the forgotten" on ABC starting February 2010.
Cuthbert has been cast in a recurring role -- Maxine Denver, a Chicago professional who is "forced to put her skepticism of 'amateur detectives' aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to home," according to the ABC press release.
We've already seen Cuthbert reprising her role of Kim Bauer on at least one episode of "24" on Fox, so it looks like this girl next door is pulling double network duty come spring. There's no word yet on just how many episodes of either show Cuthbert is doing, but still... that's a lotta blonde after the holidays.
"The forgotten" also stars Christian Slater, Michelle Borth, Heather Stephens, Rochelle Aytes, Bob Stephenson and Anthony Carrigan. It airs Tuesdays at 10 pm Et/Pt on ABC.

'The Forgotten' Adds Elisha Cuthbert to Cast
6 December 2009 9:55 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Canadian-born actress Elisha Cuthbert, perhaps best known for playing Kim Bauer on Fox's 24, has joined ABC's The Forgotten cast in a recurring role, which begins in February of next year.
Cuthbert will play Maxine Denver, a strong and successful Chicago professional who is forced to put her skepticism of "amateur detectives" aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to home.
If you haven't seen it, the series focuses on a team of dedicated amateurs The Forgotten Network who work on murder cases involving unidentified victims. After the police have given up, this group, led by Alex Donovan (Christian Slater), must first solve the puzzle of the victim's identity in order to then help catch the killer. These are citizen volunteers solving extraordinary crimes. Their persistence and compassion for the cases put them on a personal and emotional journey that focuses on giving names back to the deceased. »
Missed My Name Is Earl? Time to atone
4 December 2009 6:44 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The karma-fuelled comedy My Name Is Earl is getting daily repeats on E4 – and there are plenty of reasons to catch up
My Name Is Earl is back. No, they're not making any new episodes – although one never knows with Us TV – but Earl is getting repeated, daily on E4 from tonight, which is good news for the many fans of the show and even better news for those who somehow eluded its charms over its 96-episode run.
When Earl first hit in 2005, it hit big. Impressive ratings in the States earned it a decent, prominent slot in the schedules here – unlike, say, the massively underrated and still brilliant King Of The Hill. The story of a man with a huge list of misdeeds to atone for, Earl hit its stride almost immediately. The karma-fuelled plotlines twisted and turned while exploring the locale of Camden County and its colourful denizens. »

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has set a January 26 release date for Alone in the Dark II . Because you demanded it. Michael Roesch directed this entry which nixes Christian Slater and Tara Reid and gives us Rick Yune, Lance Henriksen, Ralf Moeller, Pj Soles, Bill Moseley, Rachel Specter, Michael Paré and Danny Trejo. Can you handle that? Yeah, didn't think you could. Edward Carnby, played by Slater in the last entry, is now embodied by Yune. Weird. That's the cover you see on the left brandishing the tagline "Evil returns." This entry has to do with a witch and a lab - when a full synopsis comes to light, we'll give it to you! »

Rejoice! Alone in the Dark II on DVD in January
4 December 2009 2:31 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
If ever there was a movie that did not require a follow-up, it would be Uwe Boll's disastrous Alone in the Dark. Uwe Boll only produced this time around, allowing the makers of the direct-to-dvd House of the Dead 2, Peter Scheerer and Michael Roesch, to write and direct this second installment of the Alone in the Dark franchise that continues its grand tradition of gobbledygook storytelling.
An evil centuries old spectral witch lurks inside a lab?
The role of Edward Carnby originated by Christian Slater is now played by Rick Yune; what exactly happened at the end of the original that turned Carnby Asian?
Gone are Slater, Tara Reid, and Stephen Dorff, but what a cast they still managed to wrangle for this name-only sequel about a team of witch hunters battling it out with a wicked witch while fighting over a cursed dagger: Rick Yune, Bill Moseley, »

'I was like, 'Jeez, now I have to go to the gym!' ' the 'New Moon' star recalls.

With "New Moon" still riding high at the box office and poised to become one of the highest-grossing films of the year — if not all time — the world can't seem to get enough of Robert Pattinson. It's a good thing, then, that our pals over at MTV Radio recently spoke with the "Twilight" heartthrob.
Last week, we brought you RPattz's thoughts on romances, both onscreen and off. Now, as those Thanksgiving leftovers wear thin, we're happy to dish out part two of that interview, featuring some yummy tidbits on Rob's 90-year-old fans, jealousy over Taylor's bod, and his New Year's resolution to be less self-deprecating.

Philbin To Get A New Hip; Out Until Next Year
24 November 2009 3:29 PM, PST | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
Regis Philbin said Monday that he will be leaving Live with Regis and Kelly in order to undergo hip-replacement surgery in New York on December 1. "It really is painful," he remarked on Monday's show, which originated from Las Vegas. A spokesperson for the show said that Philbin would likely return in four to six weeks. The announcement came as reports were circulating on the Internet that the 78-year-old personality is planning to step down as host of the syndicated morning show at the end of his contract in 2011. The tabloid The National Enquirer said last week that Philbin will be replaced by CNN's Anderson Cooper. Such speculation has been circulating since September. Today's (Tuesday) New York Post reported that Cooper will be one of the celebrities replacing Philbin during his absence. Others include Howie Mandel, Michael Bublé, and Christian Slater.

Jennifer’s Boring Body
20 November 2009 7:23 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Cheerleaders are man-eaters. No-one understands the pain of the teenage girl. Yes we get the metaphor. That doesn’t make Jennifer’s Body a better film because of it. Jennifer Check (Megan Fox) is the sexy, popular captain of the high school cheerleading squad. She is kidnapped and sacrificed by an out of town rock band hoping to make it big. When the ritual goes wrong, she comes back to life as a demon who gains her power by feasting on the town’s teenage male population. Only her ‘frumpy’ best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) can stop Jennifer from eating more of her classmates. Coming form the pen of Oscar winning scriptwriter Diablo Cody, the film promised much. Well written lead roles for women are still a rarity but it’s sad to say this isn’t one of those. The snappy dialogue of Juno fails to fly off the »

Cast and crew of ABC's heavily diluted Witches of Eastwick retread, Eastwick, have just learned that the network will not order more episodes than the original 13 -- meaning we'll soon be bidding a fond adieu to the series most likely pitched as Supernatural Housewives. Sadly, with it goes Paul Gross -- aka Constable Benton Fraser from Due South -- who seems to be rapidly morphing into his generation's Alan Thicke. Also axed by the network: Let's Dance, the Kathy Griffin-hosted reality show in which celebrities re-enact famous dance sequences from the movies. Apparently casting was a major hurdle, as the big top-hat number from A Chorus Line requires more than the severely limited number of Kardashians currently available. On a cheerier note, Christian Slater procedural The Forgotten (no cracks, please) stays with us, for another five episodes at least. [The Feed] »
Channel Surfing: More "Forgotten," Less "Eastwick" at ABC, "Ugly Betty," Sean Faris Bites into "Vampire Diaries," and More
10 November 2009 7:26 AM, PST | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
Welcome to your Tuesday morning television briefing. ABC hasn't forgotten The Forgotten after all. The network ordered five additional episodes of the Christian Slater-led procedural drama from Warner Bros. Television but also dropped the axe on the Wbtv-produced supernatural drama series Eastwick, which won't continue past its initial thirteen-episode order. There's still no word on the fate of Wbtv's Hank, which still hasn't received a full season order from ABC. (Hitfix, Variety) E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos is reporting that the soon-to-be-vacated Eastwick timeslot on Wednesdays won't necessarily go to Lost, as many believed, but could in fact be given to--shock horror--Ugly Betty. "According to sources, ABC higher-ups are considering moving Ugly Betty to Wednesdays at 10 in January as part of a flashy relaunch of the show in an effort to save it," writes Dos Santos. "The thinking is that Betty would complement new hits Modern Family and Cougar Town nicely, »

“Eastwick” Goes “Poof”
10 November 2009 7:20 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
“Eastwick” ran out of magic on Monday, and will be “poof-”ing out of existence. The crime-show drama, “The Forgotten” will, on the other hand, be extended five more episodes.
“Eastwick” is the least-watched show on ABC this season with an average of 6.5 million viewers weekly. ABC said the cast of the Wednesday night drama will finish filming its order, and all 13 episodes will run at some point. The next episode will air on Nov. 25.
“The Forgotten,” which stars Christian Slater, was extended to 18 episodes. The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced crime drama averages 8.6 million viewers on Tuesday nights. However, executive producer Luke Reiter is not expected to continue with the show.
Separately, ABC has nixed plans to air the five-episode reality-series “Let’s Dance,” beginning Nov. 23. “Dance,” hosted by Kathy Griffin, was to have featured celebs re-enacting famous dance routines. Supposedly, the network was having issues finding celebs to participate in »
