Tom Cruise defends role as a good German

When Tom Cruise was cast as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the German officer who plotted to assassinate Hitler, in Valkyrie, there was a lot of controversy, especially in Germany. Many Germans questioned how Cruise could play a revered historical figure, while even the German Defence Ministry objected because of his beliefs in Scientology, which is not recognized as a religion in that country. Cruise has finally defended his decision to play von Stauffenberg, who was exec... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

Divorcee Lady Elizabeth "Bess" Foster was best friends with Georgiana the Duchess of Devonshire--although she had a long affair with her husband, the Duke. On the face of it, not a terribly sympathetic character, but rising English actress Hayley Atwell found she could understand what motivated Bess in the movie The Duchess.

A Hannah Montana look-alike lies crushed and dying under a meteor, but still manages to put in a plug for her merchandise. An Amy Winehouse impersonator appears as a saber-toothed tiger who pulls a crystal skull from her beehive hairdo. Another character answers a Get Smart shoe phone and is smeared with dog crap. That's the kind of silliness, laced with vulgarity, on display in Disaster Movie, the latest spoof from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the writer-...

What persuaded Brendan Fraser to suit up again as adventurer Rick O'Connell seven years after the last Mummy adventure? And how many more Mummy outings can we expect to see?

Aussies to the fore in Cormac McCarthy's The Road

0 Comments | Posted on Thursday, 11 September 2008 by Don

Cormac McCarthy wrote the novel No Country for Old Men, and I'm curious to see the next movie based on one of his books, The Road. Particularly because there's a strong Oz connection, with an Aussie director and two co-stars. It's the post-Apocalyptic tale of the journey of a nameless man and his young son across a landscape blasted by some terrible event that destroyed civilization and, seemingly, most life on earth. Almost everything, that is, except a bunch of... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

Hollywood's worst movie jinxes

0 Comments | Posted on Thursday, 11 September 2008 by Don

From Apocalypse Now to Dune and Waterworld, Hollywood has a rich tradition of making movies that seem jinxed. Directors walk or get fired, stars are replaced, costs go horribly over budget...Sod's law often prevails. Sometimes great films emerge from the chaos, other times disaster ensues. Entertainment Weekly reminds us that Francis Ford Coppola lost 45 kg and nearly his sanity during the 16-months shoot of Apocalypse Now. Harvey Keitel was sacked and replaced by Martin Sh...

Disney unleashes Bolt the super dog

0 Comments | Posted on Thursday, 11 September 2008 by Don

They say every dog has its day. Judging by the trailers, I think Disney may have a real box-office dog on its hands with the silly and too-cute Beverly Hills Chihuahua...and a real crowd-pleaser in Bolt (3D). I'll write about BHC later and devote today's item to Bolt, the story of the canine star of his own Hollywood action TV show who finds himself lost in New York City. Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) sets out to return home to his mistress and co-star Penny ... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

Depp and Verbinski team up for Rango

Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinksi are teaming up again- but don't get too excited Pirates fans. They're collaborating on Rango, the director's first animated movie, which will feature Depp as a household pet who embarks on an adventure to discover its true self. What kind of pet? Gore isn't saying, so we can guess whether it might be a dog or a cat: probably not a goldfish or mouse. The plan is not just to use Depp's voice, but to ... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have been friends and occasional colleagues for more than 15 years. So when the Chinese superstars were offered the chance to play sword-wielding rivals in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, they faced only only challenge: Avoiding the temptation to crack up.

Twilight's Rachel Lefevre: too nice to be evil?

0 Comments | Posted on Wednesday, 10 September 2008 by Don

When Rachel Lefevre was cast as Victoria, an evil vampire who's determined to kill the romance between Edward and Bella in Twilight, fans of Stephenie Meyer's novels were divided. Some claimed the red-haired, freckle-faced actresss looked too nice to be scary. Most, however, believed she could be an evil character.

Intense media speculation about who will star in the Dark Knight sequel continues to unravel. As we reported last week, Johnny Depp declared he hadn't been offered the role of the Riddler, while admitting it did sound like a 'fun gig.' Now Philip Seymour Hoffman has kyboshed reports that he's in the frame to play the Penguin, following in the footsteps of Danny DeVito in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns. “No one has talked to me about it ever — never,” Hoffman told MT...

J.J. Abrams reveals why William Shatner is off the Enterprise

0 Comments | Posted on Wednesday, 10 September 2008 by Don

Ever since William Shatner discovered there was no role for him in J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie, he's been griping to anyone who'll listen. “How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn’t make good business sense to me!” he'd say. Well, Abrams has finally revealed that he did offer Shatner a cameo- but it seems the actor's ego made him hold out for a bigger part.

Maria Bello gets to fulfil her Indy Jones fantasy in The Mummy 3

Rachel Weisz turned down the chance to return as the wife of Brendan Fraser's adventurer in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor for two valid reasons: She was unwilling to play the mother of a 21-year-old, and she didn't want to spend months filming in China. So director Rob Cohen offered the role to Maria Bello. He assured her she wouldn't have to worry about stepping into Rachel's shoes because the characters are so different.

Twilight's Nikki Reed: heartache behind the beauty

Playing Rosalie Hale, a character described as the most beautiful person in the world in the movie Twilight, sounds like a dream assignment for Nikki Reed. But as devotees of Stephenie Meyer's books will know, Rosalie's back story is tragic-- and as such presents a terrific challenge for Nikki.

No one has seen the movie yet, but Revolutionary Road figures highly among most pundits' lists of Oscars predictions. And why not, with the dream casting of Titanic duo Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, American Beauty's Sam Mendes directing and the source material being a celebrated novel by Richard Yates. I've not read the novel but it sounds confronting: a couple in the 1950s flee the conformity of life in the suburbs for what they hope will be a better future in Fran...

In Bruges deserves a wider audience

0 Comments | Posted on Monday, 8 September 2008 by Don

In Bruges is a terrific movie, one of the best I've seen this year: so why didn't it grab more people on its opening weekend? I suppose the occasionally foul language and the graphic violence in the tale of two hit men on the lam in Belgium will have been a turn-off for some people, particularly older females. But it's a clever, darkly funny and surprisingly moving film by first-time writer-director Martin McDonagh. And I've never seen better acting by Colin Farrell, Brend...

RocknRolla reviews: Guy Ritchie gets his mojo back

After the shipwreck of Swept Away and shooting himself in the foot with Revolver, director Guy Ritchie looks like he may get his career back on on song with RocknRolla. The movie opened in the UK last Friday and most of the reviews have been positive, noting Ritchie has gone back to his roots in gangster comedy in the vein of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Here's another new still from Quantum of Solace, the 22nd James Bond adventure. From everything I've seen and heard about the movie, it sounds like a thrilling, helter-skelter trip through Italy, Austria and Chile, while Pinewood Studios was used for the interiors. But we know very little about the plot. We do know the story begins just 20 minutes after the end of Casino Royale and that 007 is grieving over the death of Vesper, the love interest played by Eva Green. ...

I found Spider-Man 3 rather underwhelming, so I'm not turning cartwheels at reports that Sony is proceeding with a fourth edition- which may be shot back-to-back with a fifth. Director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have signed up for the long-rumoured fourth outing, according to Nikki Finke's usually well informed Deadline Hollywood Daily.

Who you gonna call- geriatric Ghostbusters?

Sony's plan to reinvent the Ghostbusters franchise may please some fans of the sci-fi comedy, but I think it's a risk. After all, the first Ghostbusters movie was released in 1984, and the second came out in 1989. Yet Sony has commissioned a script for Ghostbusters 3 from Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who are co-exec producers of the US TV series The Office. The plan is to bring back the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudso... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

Del Toro is so hot-- but why?

Hellboy II director Guillermo del Toro has to be the hottest director in Hollywood right now-- and I just don't get it. He's attached to at least nine films as director or producer which will keep him busy until around 2018, by my reckoning: not even Spielberg plans that far ahead. We've known for a while that del Toro will spend the next five years in New Zealand shooting the two-part Hobbit movies for executive producer Peter Jackson. Now Universal has announce...

Could Two-Face climb out of the grave for Dark Knight sequel?

Aaron Eckhart was so good as Attorney General Harvey Dent/Two-Face in The Dark Knight, many fans hoped the character could be brought back for the sequel. That's despite the fact that Christopher Nolan's movie ends with Two-Face plummeting to a certain death from a warehouse after a fight with Batman and Jim Gordon. Still, some fans noted there was no blood, and no coffin at his memorial service. Alas, there's no chance of a miraculous recovery, and we have that from Eckhar... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

In Bruges: Ralph Fiennes a nasty villain with humour

If you were thinking of actors to play a vicious crime boss from London's East End, I doubt Ralph Fiennes would be high on your list. Which is one of the delightful surprises in Martin McDonagh's highly unconventional comedy-thriller In Bruges. Fiennes plays Harry, who despatches hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) to Belgium after Ray mistakenly kills a child in London. Ostensibly Harry wants them to lie low, but he's forced to go to Bruges after Ken refu... Find out more...   |   0 Comments   |   buy tickets

As a kid in England in the 1980s, Garth Jennings was blown away when he saw a pirated video copy of Sylvester Stallone's First Blood. "Here was this amazing man who could leap from cliffs, sew up a cut in his own arm and take on a whole army just by using bits of the forest around him,” Jennings recalls. That movie inspired Garth and his mates to make their own Rambo-style action-adventures using their parents' video cameras. All these years later, Jennings drew...

There's a marvellous scene in the darkly comic In Bruges when Clémence Poésy's Chloe meets Colin Farrell's Ray. She tells him she sells drugs to film crews, and he says, "I murder people for money." Neither believes the other, which is part of the intrigue of writer-director Martin McDonagh's clever film. Ray is a hitman who's sent to Belgium with his accomplice after a job in London goes horribly wrong. Chloe isn't what she seems, as Ray eventually discovers. <... Find out more...   |   0 Comments

As the gory climax of Wanted killed off nearly every major character, I was dubious about reports that Universal was keen to do a sequel.

It's a huge break for the 28-year-old actor after a career in indie films such as Smokin' Aces, Bottle Shock and Just My Luck.

Don't be put off by the title: Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay isn't a political movie, although there are some sly digs at George W. Bush's America.
