Double Vision: Julianna Margulies and Famke Janssen

26 August 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

I'd assumed it was only the early-morning, refusing-to-wear-glasses-yet version of myself who momentarily got super psyched to "see" that Famke Janssen has a new show on CBS this fall. But no! My colleagues Michael Slezak and Missy Schwartz just admitted to experiencing similar double takes of the poster for 'The Good Wife' that's popped up all over the city lately, while wearing their glasses. And now I am wearing my glasses and it sure wasn't just a dream! Aw, we'd love it if Famke could be a series regular in the September-premiering courtroom drama -- CBS should consider an out-of-nowhere Single White Female plot line should ratings suffer right away. What you want to get out of this post is that Julianna Margulies and Famke Janssen look alike, and that everyone who works at EW is a four-eyed delusional weirdo, two "trends" which have been evident for quite some time. »

Full Trailer For Chinese Espionage Thriller The Message

7 August 2009 6:29 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

How’s this for a streak:  Mainland Chinese film producers The Huayi Brothers are very likely the only production house in the world that can claim - at least claim honestly - that they’ve never had a film lost money.  And that trend looks likely to continue with The Message, a darkly slick espionage thriller from Chen Kuo-Fu (Double Vision) and Gao Qunshu (Tokyo Trial) with Zhou Xun heading up and all star cast.

1942, Nanking. Following a series of assassination attempts on officials of the Japanese-controlled puppet government, the Japanese spy chief gathers a group of suspects in a mansion house for questioning. A tense game of cat and mouse ensues as the Chinese code-breaker attempts to send out a crucial message while protecting his/her own identity.

We’ve run early teasers for this one in the past but the full trailer has recently arrived, is very impressive, »

Exclusive: 'Guitar Hero: Van Halen' Song List And Release Date Revealed

5 August 2009 1:13 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

Activision, unwilling to skate by the holiday season with just "Guitar Hero 5" and "DJ Hero," is bringing one more rhythm game into your already rock-laden household before the year is out. "Guitar Hero: Van Halen" will be releasing on December 22nd, and features the musical stylings of Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen along with the vocal insanity that is David Lee Roth. Sammy Hagar is, predictably, a no-show.

The game will follow the trend of "Gh: Metallica" and "Gh: Aerosmith" by including songs from not only Van Halen, but also other groups with similar musical style, including Weezer, The Foo Fighters and Queen.

Here's the full song list for your viewing pleasure:

Van Halen Songs

“Ain't Talkin Bout Love”

“And The Cradle Will Rock

“Atomic Punk”

Beautiful Girls

“Cathedral” (solo)

“Dance The Night Away”

“Eruption” (solo)

“Everybody Wants Some”

“Feel Your Love Tonight”

“Hang ‘Em High”

“Hear About It »

Who is the code-breaker? Trailers for Chinese blockbuster The Message

21 July 2009 2:27 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Nothing on Twitch about this yet that I could see, so let’s play catchup – WWII espionage thriller The Message from Chen Kuo-Fu (Double Vision) and Gao Qunshu (Tokyo Trial) looks to be the next high-profile Chinese blockbuster. Mainland production giant Huayi Bros. are throwing money at it, along with an A-list cast (Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Zhiwen), some pretty slick production design, an intriguing premise and lots of room for nationalist melodrama. Could be a classic, could just be an entertaining bucket of popcorn, but either way it’s looking very promising. Synopsis, a YouTube teaser, first trailer and relevant weblinks all follow after the break.
