The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

Reese Witherspoon Reportedly Dumps Jake Gyllenhaal Over Phone
16 December 2009 6:49 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Another report on how Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have ended their two-year relationship emerged. A source close to the actor told Us Magazine in its latest issue that the "Legally Blonde" beauty dumped the 29-year-old over a series of phone calls.
The source additionally mentioned that the pair split after they "fought constantly in the past few months." Revealing the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" star's feeling after being dumped by his longtime lover, another source said, "It broke his heart."
About the reason of the couple's break-up, some other sources said that Reese's divorce from former husband Ryan Phillippe, and her kids, Ava Elizabeth Phillippe and Deacon Reese Phillippe, were "the two driving factors in the split." "She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn't ready," an insider said.
"She couldn't give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her. When she »

Keira Knightley's West End debut tops a host of un-Christmassy openings, but time's running out for La Cage aux Folles
We're getting close to Christmas, but there are a remarkable number of unfestive openings this week. Blithe Spirit in Manchester should – of course – be a spirited production, directed by Sarah Frankcom who recently staged Simon Stephens's Punk Rock. In London, Patrick Hamilton's Rope is at the Almeida, the hugely starry Misanthrope with Keira Knightley and Damian Lewis is at the Comedy, Simon Callow is doing his Dickens turn in Dr Marigold and Mr Chips at Riverside Studios, and there's even an Agatha Christie thriller, A Daughter's Daughter, arriving opportunistically at Trafalgar Studios to fill in for a few weeks. Potted Potter, which is silly, hugely enjoyable fun, is in Studio 2. And even in Christmas week there are openings, with the RSC's Twelfth Night arriving at the Novello, »

Jake Gyllenhaal to Propose to Reese Witherspoon
10 December 2009 10:08 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Jake Gyllenhaal could be presenting girlfriend Reese Witherspoon a special ring this Christmas. Contrary to the swirling break-up rumor recently, an insider revealed to Pop Eater that Jake is planning to propose to the "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" star.
"Jake is planning to pop the question over the holidays and couldn't be more excited," the source claimed. "Her children love him, his family loves her, and now it's time to make it official." On why Jake plans a holiday proposal, the insider explained, "Reese is traditional sort of lady, which is one of the many things Jake adores about her. Christmas is her favorite holiday."
Jake and Reese were rumored to have ended their two-year romance back in late November. The rumor first spread out when a source close to the 33-year-old actress told People that the Hollywood couple has gone their separate ways. But, their representatives were quick to deny the speculation, »

'Ugly Truth' Director May Romance the Stone
9 December 2009 8:04 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Ready for two more 80s movies revivals? Pajiba says Romancing the Stone is getting an update, which isn't exactly news, but it was dormant for almost a year before news of a remake went anywhere. Now the scuttlebutt is that Robert Luketic might direct, which has to thrill you no end.
Pajiba overstates it when saying Luketic is "the worst director in Hollywood," although I'm certainly not a fan. 21 was better than I thought going in, as was Legally Blonde, but and Monster-in-Law were not very good. The problem with a remake like this, not that it should be off-limits for any overriding reason in particular.
However, good luck matching the chemistry between Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. I mean, seriously. That was a once-or-twice-in-a-generation pairing that peaked a couple of times, in the original and, of course, War of the Roses. That brings up another point: Good luck matching »

Coolidge Glad To Leave The Comedy Behind To Play Cage's Stepmom
20 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
American Pie star Jennifer Coolidge has her adopted New Orleans, Louisiana to thank for her role as Nicolas Cage's stepmother in gritty new film Bad Lieutenant - because she fears she wouldn't have landed the part if she didn't live there.
The acclaimed comedienne accepts she's not every filmmaker's first choice when it comes to landing dramatic roles and was thrilled when director Werner Herzog took a risk on her - because she hopes the part will lead to other serious parts.
She says, "My odds were just not good in getting the role... I mean, I've been in American Pie, Legally Blonde and the Christopher Guest films, so it's impossible for someone like me to get in on anything dramatic, ever. I can't get in the door.
"I do think that living in New Orleans, where the film was shot, and having a house down there somehow helped - because a lot of people auditioned in L.A."
Coolidge admits she is getting tired of playing wacky housewives and oddball characters in comedies: "I am grateful but bored because I do get offered the same roles over and over again. If I go to a wardrobe fitting the costume designer will always roll in with maybe 12 leopard dresses on the rack no matter what role I do. I'm not just the lady in the leopard dress.
"I do hope this role helps me to do other things. It was so nice to do something where I didn't have whoopie cushions in my shoes."
And now she's looking for a 'killer' role: "I would love to play a serial killer; something like that would be nice. In my next film, The Exterminator, we have a pesticide company that ends up killing boyfriends that did their woman wrong." »

Kirsten Dunst No Longer Good Friends With Ex-Lover Jake Gyllenhaal
19 November 2009 1:49 AM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
After breaking up with Jake Gyllenhaal, Kirsten Dunst doesn't try to keep a good relationship with him. Speaking to the December issue of Allure magazine, she reveals, "It would be nice to see him. But we're not good friends."
Began dating in September 2002, the Mary Jane Watson of "Spider-Man" film series and the 28-year-old hunk reportedly shared a Los Angeles home and a dog named Atticus. Unfortunately, in 2004, the two decided to call off their longtime relationship.

Too Much Information For Reynolds
16 November 2009 11:24 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
We'd hesitate to call it a formula as such, but Ryan Reynolds would appear to have some sort of grand plan to alternate the action / superhero stuff with the romcoms. It's good to have more than one audience in these uncertain times. Reynolds followed X-Men Origins: Wolverine with The Proposal, and looks set follow Green Lantern with Tmi.Tmi = Too Much Information, in which the once and future Deadpool will co-star with Anna Faris. The pitch is that, while honesty is the best policy in a relationship, revealing Too Much Information isn't necessarily sensible. Slight Invention of Lying alarm bells there, but as long as it doesn't confuse telling the truth with simply having no tact whatsoever, it's not an unreasonable concept, we'd have thought. The script is by Kirsten Smith (10 Things I Hate About You, Legally Blonde) and Marc Klein (A Good Year), and the project is being set up at Universal, »

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

It's only Monday, but already our thoughts are turning to Thursday night, and The CW is happy to help us get ready for the latest installments of our guiltiest pleasures: Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries.
First up, is Supernatural's Episode 9, entitled "The Real Ghostbusters" (if there's a series with better ep titles, I sure don't know what it is!):
Super fan Becky (guest star Emily Perkins) uses Chuck's (guest star Chuck Benedict) phone to trick Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) into attending a Supernatural fan convention, complete with fans dressed up as Sam and Dean.

Jim Conway directed the episode with teleplay by Eric Kripke and story by Nancy Weiner.
