Spiderman 4?
2008-06-06 01:23:00 "Now that Jake Gyllenhaal has officially signed to star in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", that basically means we can take his name off the table with regards to all future comic properties (at least until after Persia comes out, because that may turn into a franchise if the first makes loads of duckets). While we still have no idea whether Tobey Maguire will return to play Spidey in a Spider-Man 4, we do know that Sony is prepping something. They just re-upped their deal for a fourth installment (fact) and they may be looking to get more bang for their buck by shooting two sequels at the same time with a story arc that stretches across both films. Has enough time passed for Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst? Do they miss the roles? The characters? How much would it take to get them back? And do we want them back? I think it's pretty clear we all still want Spider-Man in our big-screen lives, even though the third film was what it was. But are Maguire and Dunst sti... More About: Spiderman

2008-06-04 19:16:00 "The casinos of modern-day Reno, Nev., provide the backdrop for this interesting tale of a professional gambler and his protege.At the outset, we see the two men hook up: sixtyish Sydney (Philip Baker Hall), a virile, laconic gentleman who clearly has weathered tough times, and John (John C. Reilly), an amiable lunk who?s willing to learn whatever Sydney wants to teach him.Anderson coaxes top-notch performances from the male leads and also from Gwyneth Paltrow, whose dimwitted waitress/hooker falls for John.

She's made so many atypical movies, it's difficult choosing one above the rest, but the warmest one for me was "Minnie and Moskowitz" (1971), no doubt, due to this exhaustive, awkward and particular courting by Seymour (Seymour Cassel) and every dialogue bringing on heartfelt conversations, ice-creams dates, neurotic chatting, until the scene when she opens her battered heart and confesses him she's always torn between strong and weak people, how some of them get her bored or depressed, and although she considers herself a genius standing out the rest of women, she wants to give up. But her loneliness and her suffering are rejected in the act by Seymour. Some of the Gena Rowlands' transformations onscreen frighten me.

Kirsten post-depression
2008-05-29 15:59:00 Source of pictures Justjared.com"Kirsten Dunst is opening up about her stint at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah earlier this year, saying that she sought help for depression, not for drug or alcohol abuse."I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," Dunst, 26, tells E! Online. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too."In February, Dunst checked into the same posh facility where Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes have been treated."She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues," a source close to Dunst tells PEOPLE. "She couldn't control her depression."When Dunst entered rehab in February, another friend told PEOPLE that the actress had been feeling low for some time. "She's been crying a lot lately, " said the friend. "Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up....

Christian Bale talks about Heath Ledger
2008-05-28 16:20:00 "Dark Knight star Christian Bale recalls his costar Heath Ledger as "intense" and "anarchistic" on the set of the set of the late actor's last movie. "He was incredibly intense in his performance, but incredibly mellow and laid-back. Certainly there was this great anarchistic streak to it ? just getting dirtier than anybody's envisioned the Joker before," Bale, 34, tells Details magazine.Ledger died on Jan. 22 of a prescription-drug overdose at the age of 28. And Bale laments that the film "was something I wanted to share with him ? and expected to do so.""And I can't do anything else but hope that it will be an absolutely appropriate celebration of his work," he says. In earlier interviews, Bale commended Ledger on doing "one hell of a job."Bale adds that he almost never donned the Batsuit at all because of a deep-seated fear in closed spaces."[I was] just thinking, 'This isn't going to work. I'm claustrophobic, I can't breathe, I'm getting a headache already, and this is a... More About: Christian Bale
R.I.P. Sidney Pollack
2008-05-28 09:34:00 "Director, actor and producer Sydney Pollack -- who died Monday, at age 73 -- made some terrific movies and some that were not so hot. But his death represents a loss the meaning of which isn't immediately apparent, at least not until you start fitting it into the context of what mainstream Hollywood filmmaking used to be, and what it has become.Pollack was a filmmaker who believed, even past the time many others had given up, that you could make a good mainstream movie about a serious subject, and he believed -- right up to his last few fiction features, the highly imperfect but well-intentioned pictures "The Interpreter" (2005) and "Random Hearts" (1999) -- in making movies for grown-ups, pictures that at least attempted to tell adult stories. Even when it became not just unpopular but almost untenable to do so, he continued to put his faith in the strength of a script and the quality of his actors' performances.But in the past 20 years or so, Pollack has been a strong presence ...

"Hard Candy" (Some Candy Talking)
2008-05-26 13:50:00 "The power of Hard Candy lies in the fact that it makes you think rather than frightens you, and that for all of its 104 minutes runtime, you are wondering just who is playing who here.Hayley is determined to wrench the truth out of Jeff, but her actions show that she has made up her mind long before meeting with him and that she is already convinced of his guilt. Hayley?s fortitude is more about justification for her actions than about actual fact-finding. And Jeff may be a dodgy guy, but both Hayley and the audience can never be sure of just how dodgy he truly is. It is never clarified if Jeff is actually guilty of anything, or merely feels guilty for desiring something he knows is wrong. The audience is left to make up their own minds, and opinions willsurely vary. One of Hard Candy?s strengths is that it in no way sexualises Hayley?s behaviour; yet in terms of the cruelties she inflicts, her unambiguous intentions and calculated actions are those of a grown-up. Hayley is fully a... More About: Talking

Doubtful Speculations
2008-05-22 07:21:00 Doubtful Speculations: "I sat a long time thinking uncomfortable thoughts.We are strangely made. We think we are wonderful creatures. Part of the time we think that, at any rate. And during that interval we consider with pride our mental equipment, with its penetration, its power of analysis, its ability to reason out clear conclussions from confused facts, and all the lordly rest of it; and then comes a rational interval and disenchants us. Disenchants us and lays us bare to ourselves, and we see that intellectually we are really no great things; that we seldom really know the thing we think we know; that our best-built certainties are but sand-houses and subject to damage from any wind of doubt that blows.So a little time before I knew that this voyage was a dream, and nothing more; a wee little puff or two of doubt had blown against that certainty, unhelped by fact or argument, and already it was dissolving away. It seemed an incredible thing, and it hurt my pride of intellect, b...
Jake will be Prince of Persia
2008-05-21 09:48:00 "Earlier this year, we told you about the folks at Latino Review revealing that an offer was out to Jake Gyllenhaal to star as the titular prince in PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, the upcoming Mike Newell directed adaptation of the popular action adventure video game franchise of the same name. Today, the "Hollywood Insider" blog is reporting that Jakey G. has officially signed on as the time-controlling monarch. They've also added that current Brit Bond girl Gemma Arterton will be playing Tamina, a princess who helps the prince in his adventures and who presumably gets a little frisky with him, and that production is scheduled to start in July pending what happens with the looming actors' strike.Extra Tidbit: The latest game in the series, "Prince of Persia: Prodigy", is scheduled for release in fourth quarter of this year on XBox 360, PS3 and Windows".Source: www.joblo.com More About: Prince of Persia

What's new about this movie is that it falls somewhere between noir teen flicks like Donnie Darko and more feel-good films like Ferris Bueller. It also feels very genuine, maybe because when I interviewed Kat and Anton (separately), they both mentioned Poll's request for their input for the movie (Anton to his character's backstory, Kat to her character's penchant for rock candy and choice of nail polish)".
