Blu-Ray Review: Tiresome ‘Four Christmases’ is Four Too Many
25 November 2009 12:02 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – How has Vince Vaughn become one of the most boring actors in America? It has little to do with his performances and everything to do with his career choices. Sure, Vaughn has pretty much made a habit out of playing the exact same guy since “Wedding Crashers”: a fast-talking, self-absorbed, overgrown adolescent whose funniest quips are delivered under the breath and between punch-lines. Since you’re never sure what will come out of his mouth next, he’s consistently entertaining to watch, but the vehicles he chooses have become increasingly uninspired.
Blu-Ray Rating: 1.5/5.0
“Four Christmases” is a particularly obnoxious holiday offering, primarily because its filmmakers are convinced that they’ve created something that people can relate to. The film centers on a couple who routinely make up excuses to avoid spending the holidays with family. But when they enter the airport on their way to Fiji (foreshadowing Vaughn »

London, Nov 24 (Ians) British star Colin Firth says he is convinced that he would never have got any female attention if he wasn’t an actor and insists he’s too old to carry the sex symbol tag.
The ‘Love Actually’ star shot to fame with his portrayal of Darcy in 1995 film ‘Pride And Prejudice’, famously winning the hearts of female fans by appearing in soaking wet clothes. But Firth, 49, is adamant the attention will soon stop now that he’s hit middle-age, reports contactmusic.com.

Colin Firth Says He's Too Old To Be A "Sex Symbol"
24 November 2009 5:20 AM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
British actor Colin Firth doesn't always agree with his title as "sex symbol."
The hunky "Love Actually" star doesn't think he would get much attention at all if he weren't an actor.
Firth, 49, told Britain's Hello! magazine, "I think I'm getting a bit old for that stuff now, aren't I? I suppose that because of the profession I'm in, I do get a certain amount of attention that I probably would not get if I had not been known."
"I certainly wouldn't get the attention I get if I hadn't been on screen."

Firth: 'I'm Too Old To Be A Sex Symbol'
24 November 2009 4:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
British heart-throb Colin Firth is convinced he'd never get any female attention if he wasn't an actor - and insists he's too old to keep carrying his sex symbol mantle.
The Love Actually star shot to fame with his portrayal of Mr. Darcy in 1995's Pride And Prejudice, famously winning the hearts of female film fans by appearing in soaking wet clothes.
But Firth, 49, has always struggled to understand his lusty fans - and is adamant the attention will soon stop now he's hit middle-age.
He tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I think I'm getting a bit old for that stuff now, aren't I? I suppose that because of the profession I'm in, I do get a certain amount of attention that I probably would not get if I had not been known.

Starring: Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour-Hoffman, Nick Frost, Rhys Darby, Tom Sturridge
Director: Richard Curtis
Release Date: November 13, 2009
Running Time: 116 mins.
MPAA Rating: R - for language, and some sexual content including brief nudity.
Distributor: Universal Pictures

Has anyone really decided what this film is called yet? It's on IMDb under The Boat that Rocked, Fandango has it as Pirate Radio, the theatre that I went to see it at displayed a poster with The Boat that Rocked, I'm confused. And so, must have been director Richard Curtis, since it became apparent during the showing that he didn't really know what he wanted to say. The most representative advertising the film did, was to say, ‘from the people who brought you Love Actually.' They both had charming and funny moments, but they both wandered around, never really sure of where they are supposed to be headed.

Bill Nighy: 'I hate hats and caps'

Bill Nighy has revealed that he hates the idea of wearing a hat as a disguise. The Love Actually star, who turns 60 next month, said that he would rather kill himself than wear a baseball cap.

No baseball caps for Bill Nighy
22 November 2009 2:04 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Bill Nighy would rather "kill himself" than wear a baseball cap. The 'Love Actually' star insists he never feels the need to disguise himself to avoid being recognised, and insists he is too old to start hiding himself under headwear. He said: "I'm not wearing a beanie. I'm too old for a beanie. I don't know what the cut-off age is for a beanie but it's a long time ago as far as I'm concerned. "Or a baseball cap? No, I'd have to kill myself. There's no need. Because everything is fine and the degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy." The 59-year-old actor also admits he is sometimes taken by surprise by the aging process. He »

Bill Nighy: 'I am not suddenly the greatest actor in the world'
19 November 2009 3:54 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The star of Stephen Poliakoff's forthcoming Glorious 39 on his neuroses, playing educated toffs and why he digs David Hare
"A machiavellian dandy . . . Pure coldheartedness . . . Fabulously insincere." As I read out reviews of an old Bill Nighy performance, the actor grimaces and drums his knuckles on the table. "If ever a face was made for villainy, it's Bill Nighy's," I continue. "Wow," he murmurs. "Nighy's decadently long jaw and narrow, sneaky eyes serve him well . . ." He snorts, amused. "Sneaky eyes! Long decadent jaw! My God. I didn't know I had a decadent jaw."
Perhaps it is how Glorious 39 unfolds around him that makes you never quite trust Nighy as Alexander Keyes, a devoted father and aristocratic Conservative MP in Stephen Poliakoff's sumptuous new thriller about appeasement, set on the eve of the second world war. But perhaps Nighy has a singular talent for projecting unreliability into charming characters. »

Nighy Won't Watch His Films
19 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Bill Nighy refuses to watch himself in movies - because he finds the experience "distressing".
The Love Actually star has starred in more than 30 films, including the highly successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, since the 1980s, but he finds it difficult to watch himself on the big screen.
He says, "I try to never watch. It takes me so long to get over it and I'm always so downcast. I find it really distressing. Maybe when I'm very old, I'll sit down and watch my earlier work. But it will just depress the hell out of me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
"It's not like I'm some weirdo. You just see how far short it falls from where you might have imagined you were heading. I have a perfectly average skewed perception of myself. We often don't know what we're like. I hope that's the case because otherwise I'll kill myself." »

Weekend Box Office: '2012' Feeds Appetite for Destruction
16 November 2009 6:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Occasionally you'll hear a movie branded as "criticproof," which I take to be a derisive term implying that the masses will flock even though the movie in question is garbage If there's an entire genre that may now get described as "criticproof" it's the disaster movie. No amount of bad reviews could keep people away from watching Roland Emmerich destroy the world anew in 2012, which made $65 million domestically and $225 million worldwide. The domestic numbers are comparable to The Day After Tomorrow which, among other things, ran 40 minutes shorter. The foreign numbers are even stronger. Those who've seen the movie shouldn't be surprised. Think of it what you will (it's probably my favorite Emmerich film, which is not saying a lot), but it's pretty incomparable as special effects spectacle.
2012 had the box office pretty well to itself this weekend. Its only new competition in even semi-wide release was Pirate Radio, which »

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 »

'2012' destroys the competition at Friday's box office
14 November 2009 3:24 PM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
Roland Emmerich has once again proved his mastery over the art of destruction with his latest film 2012: Moviegoers shelled out an estimated $23.7 million for the flick's opening day. If the number holds, the Friday figure will mark a personal best for the German director, beating 2004's disaster film The Day After Tomorrow. Second place went to Disney's A Christmas Carol, which grossed $5.6 million on its second Friday in theaters. The third slot belonged to the George Clooney-starrer The Men Who Stare at Goats which earned an additional $1.95 million to put its 8-day cumulative at $19.2 million. Lionsgate's Sundance acquisition Precious continues to exceed expectations, »
