Gossip Girl 3.08 "The Grandfather: Part II" Recap

4 November 2009 2:53 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

This week's Gossip Girl episode was entitled "The Grandfather, Part II", but we really didn't see too much of William Vanderbilt (guest star James Naughton), but his presence was heavily felt as it possessed his grandson, Nate. Plus, we got more Blair and Serena bitchery and a redeeming storyline for Dan and Olivia that I actually liked!

The Politics of Ethics

It's election day and Trip Vanderbilt's (guest star Aaron Tveit) campaign is suffering in the polls, which is a scary notion on the day of the election. While Trip is feeling one way or another about the outcome, his family has their eyes set on a win, for their own personal reasons of course. While Trip's wife Maureen tries to keep him optimistic, Granddad Vanderbilt lets Nate know that Serena's revenge stunt was a huge blow to the campaign and that they need a miracle to pull up in the polls. »

'Gossip Girl' recap: Blair dumps Serena -- for good?

3 November 2009 3:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Be still, my heart: in a season first, we Gossip Girl fans actually got to see Blair act like an adult (even if it only lasted for a nanosecond). After wiping some celebratory white frosting off her refreshingly unmade-up mug (and more on her face-plant into that congressional confection later), Blair wrapped up tonight's episode by revealing the root of her anger toward her former Bff Serena;  she doesn't approve of the way her blonde buddy has been leading her sorry life! First, Serena pulls away from Dan and his clan, and then unexpectedly turns her back on (the highly distrustful) Nate. »

Actor Nicolas Cage's father August has died at the age of 75.

The retired college dean, and brother of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, suffered a reported heart attack on Tuesday.

August taught literature and was the dean of creative arts at California's San Francisco State University.

He divorced Cage's mother, dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang, in 1976.

Besides the Leaving Las Vegas star, Coppola is survived by sons Christopher and Marc and three grandchildren - as well as an extended showbiz family including Francis Ford Coppola, actress sister Talia Shire and her children, including actors Robert and Jason Schwartzman. »

'Season Of The Witch' Stars Nicolas Cage And Looks Amazing

23 October 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Want to see crazy Nic Cage being crazy? I love this guy. He makes the strangest choices with his career, and I mean that in an awesome way. From "Leaving Las Vegas" to "Face/Off"?! "Con Air"? "The Wicker Man"? Freakin' "G-Force"? Cage is the best. I don't even want to know what this "Season of the Witch" wackiness is all about; I just want to go in cold and behold the actor in all of his deranged fury.

So "Witch" sounds like a medieval-era, swords & sorcery road movie. Knights bring a suspected witch to a monastery, only to learn that she might be behind the Black Plague. The trailer carries the strong scent of Sam Raimi. In short, I dig. You will too.

Blu-Ray Review: Steven Soderbergh’s Fascinating ‘The Girlfriend Experience’

15 October 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience” is a captivating, fascinating examination of the way we have turned every element of our lives into a business transaction. With “Che,” “The Informant!,” and this fantastic drama, Soderbergh is continuing to make the case that he is one of the most important American filmmakers working today.

Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0

“The Girlfriend Experience” opens with a casual night that could be from any romantic drama - a nice dinner, a trip to the movies, a few glasses of wine, some petting on the couch, and some sex. All of it is punctuated by light, easy-going conversation from the jaw-dropping Chelsea (Sasha Grey, giving one of the best performances of the year). But this is not a typical date. This is “the girlfriend experience”. Chelsea is getting paid. But not in a “Leaving Las Vegas” or even “Pretty Woman” way. It’s exactly what the »

tMF Oscarwatch: Nic Cage ready for his 3rd Oscar nom?

12 October 2009 6:40 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

I'm not impressed with a lot of Nic Cage's movies of late. It's so frustrating when you know he could have done better movies. The Nic Cage of today seems like a totally different actor from the Nic cage of yesteryears. I first saw him in Birdy, as Sergeant Al Columbato, an injured Vietnam vet who has a peculiar friend - Birdy, played by Matthew Modine. I love his performances in Guarding Tess, Moonstruck, Matchstick Men and Leaving Las Vegas.

- - -

- - -

Perhaps his collaboration with Werner Herzog's in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans would mark the return of the real Nic Cage.

Remarked Michael Bialas @the HuffPost: Cage has made quite a career for himself in playing erratic characters (Matchstick Men, Vampire's Kiss) living on the edge. While his notorious movie meltdown scenes are legendary, he may even "over-the-top" himself in Bad Lieutenant. »

‘Fall of Kaden’ Fills Sunday Night Drama Fix

13 September 2009 6:13 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news »

Sunday night for me always means a chunk of time blocked out for HBO. It's one of the few networks worth shelling out a couple extra bucks a month. It pretty much built its brand on groundbreaking drama—The Wire, The Sopranos, Sex and the City. And for what it's worth, there is no HBO of web series. No one network of premium content that owns drama. The creators of The Fall of Kaden, which premiered online this week, have said they are trying to break that mold. Matt Doubler and Adam Leiphart have a thing for drama and noticed the void of web series drama sites. Through their Tape 6 production company, Doubler and Leiphart said they are looking to stand out as a go-to shop for premium drama. The first episode is mostly setup and lets us meet protagonist Kaden (Leiphart), who is in the midst of a Leaving Las Vegas-style downward spiral. »

Michael Jackson's Possessions Leaving Las Vegas

1 September 2009 4:16 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

On the eve of Michael Jackson's long-awaited burial, there are still pieces of his life scattered all over the place. With his estate presumably looking to consolidate, movers from Beverly Hills Transfer and Storage were spotted Monday carrying boxes and other items out of one of the King of Pop's former Las Vegas residences. Chris Fries, a spokesman for the moving company, told E! News that they were under strict orders not to divulge what was being removed from the house. "We're under a confidentiality agreement," Fries said. "You name it, we got it—just got a whole lot of stuff." He said he has not been in contact with any Jackson family members, only business... »

Reviewing The Oldies: Vampire’s Kiss

25 August 2009 11:27 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Think of a vampire. Picture it in your mind. The most iconic representations in cinema are no doubt conjured forth: Max Schrek with his long, spindly frame and rat-like visage or Bela Lugosi with his cape, Hungarian drawl and intense stare. Perhaps it is Sir Christopher Lee with his suave countenance, immaculate tailoring and graceful presence. Then again, there is Gary Oldman’s doomed-romantic Count Dracula. And there’s The Lost Boys and the Joss Whedon creation Angel: the lovelorn vampire with a wicked curse. Another very post-modern creature of the night (and day) is Edward Cullen (more likely in this year’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon to steal a girl’s heart than her blood).

Nobody would ever think of Nicolas Cage’s bizarre riff on this legendary creature in Robert Bierman’s film, Vampire’S Kiss. On a technicality, it can be argued the character is not a vampire. »

Cage Reduces Price Of Hollywood Home By Half

28 July 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Nicolas Cage has slashed the value of his Hollywood mansion - relisting the property at half of his original $35 million (£23.3 million) asking price.

The Leaving Las Vegas star first put his Bel Air home on the market in 2007, but the house failed to attract potential buyers with its hefty price tag.

Two years on, Cage is still struggling to off-load the estate formerly owned by Dean Martin and singer Tom Jones - so he's revalued it at $17.5 million (£11.67 million), according to RadarOnline.com. »

Nicolas Cage On Auras And Talking To Animals

23 July 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Would that I could spend a day basking in the gloriously weird presence of Nicolas Cage. My initial compulsion would be to pick his brain for production related anecdotes from such modern classics as "Raising Arizona," "Gone in 60 Seconds" (it's classic to me, so shut up), "Leaving Las Vegas," "Face/Off"... the list goes on and on. Ultimately however, I think I would cave and ask him odd questions just to see what kinds of answers I get. Questions like whether or not he can talk to animals. That's exactly what MTV's Josh Horowitz asked at the press junket for "G-Force," which hits theaters tomorrow. Watch this video, that's all I can say.

To hear more from Cage on his "G-Force" mole, his upcoming role in "Kick-Ass" and his thoughts on "Spider-Man" and "Warcraft" director Sam Raimi, check out the rest of our Rough Cut interview at MTV.com!

Nicolas Cage vs. The Green Hornet?

21 July 2009 9:13 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

A surprising piece of news has just recently popped up online: Nicolas Cage is reportedly in early talks to play the villain in the upcoming adaptation of The Green Hornet. He joins the previously rumored Cameron Diaz, who’s potential role in the film has been revealed as a “reporter and love interest” for the titular masked hero.

Variety is reporting that Cage is in early talks to be what is being described as the “gangster villain,” nemesis of our hero, The Green Hornet. There’s no more details on his character other than that I’m afraid, but if the talks get closer to a closed deal, you can be sure that more details will emerge.

 

This news comes to us not long after Stephen Chow sadly dropped out of the project as The Green Hornet’s sidekick, Kato. With Seth Rogen co-writing the film with his Superbad writing pal Evan Goldberg, »

King Richard of 'Robin Hood' Found in 'Wolverine' Villain

13 July 2009 1:32 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Moving on from his villainous role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", Danny Huston will tackle on a historical figure in "Robin Hood". According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 47-year-old actor will step into the shoes of King Richard who is more commonly known as Richard the Lionheart due to his exploits during the Third Crusade.

Landing the role means he will be sharing screen with Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe, who headlines the project as the titular character. He will also join other cast ensemble that include Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion and Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey. The actor who is also credited as director is expected to shoot for his part after wrapping up on "Clash of the Titans".

Eying a May 14, 2010 U.S. release, "Robin Hood" is the working title given for the action adventure film which was once named "Nottingham". A first look at Russell Crowe's »

Great Movies You Won't Watch More Than Once

11 June 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

While zoning out during the baseball game last night, a random thought popped into my head: "Ya know, I don't think I'd ever watch Atonement again." Don't ask me where these stupid random thoughts come from, or why I was thinking about Atonement when it wasn't on TV or anything, but the thought came from somewhere and so I began to pursue it a little. The end result came in the form of a question I posed on Twitter: Name some great movies that for some reason or another you wouldn't watch more than once.

I thought Atonement was a good film; I really enjoyed it. But I have no need to watch it again ... just because. A whole bunch of people responded to my Twitter question (thanks everyone!), and a pretty big majority of them went with Requiem for a Dream, which I completely understand. (I love you Jennifer Connelly, »

10 June 2009 6:26 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

The people have spoken, and Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has been voted the best Vegas flick, according to Film Junk readers. A little unexpected, but a great choice nonetheless! Martin Scorsese's Casino came in a fairly close second, while Ocean's Eleven and Swingers were at #3 and #4 respectively. The remainder of the choices trailed pretty far behind the top 4, with Viva Las Vegas all the way down at the bottom. Where's the love for Elvis? 1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas -- 32.8% 2. Casino -- 25.6% 3. Ocean's Eleven (Remake) -- 14.1% 4. Swingers -- 12.2% 5. Very Bad Things -- 4.6% 6. Rain Man -- 4.2% 7. Diamonds Are Forever -- 1.9% 7. The Cooler -- 1.9% 9. Leaving Las Vegas -- 1.5% 10. Viva Las Vegas -- 1.1% »
