6 The Informers: Convoluted and Boring
Can you smell what The Rock is cookin'? Spoiler alert: it's a revenge thriller called Faster. I do realize that Dwayne Johnson no longer goes by his wrestling moniker, (because he's now a real thespian), but his new and old personas are somewhat merged in this action role. He plays an ex-con with one purpose: to pick off the men who murdered his brother, one at a time. Hot on his trail are Billy Read more
The Mann Chinese Theater in LA was hopping with celebrities last night in attendance for three big Jerry Bruckheimer events. The afternoon kicked off with Jerry's Hollywood Walk of Fame dedication followed by the Prince of Persia premiere while his films Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean, and National Treasure simultaneously screened. Orlando Bloom spoke to the audience at the Pirates Read more
Camila Alves brought her baby bump out in LA last night to attend the premiere of One Peace at a Time with Matthew McConaughey. Little Levi sat this adventure out, after a fun-filled few weeks of shopping with mom and playing at home with dad. MM and Camila were joined by a refreshed-looking Billy Bob Thornton, as well as Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberley. The Quaids avoided trouble on their Read more
Greed is good. Sex is easy. Youth is forever. Or so goes the tagline for The Informers, a new film adapted from a collection of short stories by Bret Easton Ellis. You may recognize Ellis's name from the posters of several films in the past decade, namely American Psycho and The Rules of Attraction (there's also Glitterati, if that ever sees the light of day). If you're familiar with his work, Read more
As some of you may know, Billy Bob Thornton was recently outed as a major douchebag. He showed up with his band the Boxmasters to a live radio interview, and because the interviewer mentioned in his introduction that Billy Bob was (gasp!) an actor and not, I don't know, a Rock God — he sulked, stopped answering questions like a normal person, and in general acted like a petulant, self-important Read more
Waitresses who want to model. Models who want to act. Actors who want to sing. Is anyone happy doing the jobs they're in? Whatever the case, the actor-turned-wannabe-singer seems to be one of the douchiest strains of these hybrids. Take Billy Bob Thornton. I had no idea that this guy was a singer, musician, and according to him in this cringe-inducing interview he did with his band the Boxmasters Read more

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie divorced a long time ago, but both have always had kind words to say about each other. In a recent interview Billy Bob said: "I'd like to do another movie with Angie, one of these days. We talk all the time. She and I keep looking for something to do together; we just have to find the right thing." The actors met on the set of Pushing Tin, and we all know Read more
While I won't be heading down to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival this year, I will be sorting through the humongous pile of festival entries to share with you some of the films I think look most promising. From quirky documentaries to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections: Brooklyn's Read more
Rumor has it David Duchovny and Tea Leoni recently separated because of Tea's relationship with costar Billy Bob Thornton. David supposedly found "explicit text messages" from him on Tea's phone, leading to the split.— Daily Mail Ryan and Redmond O'Neal were both charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, following the drug bust at their house, and will be arraigned on Nov. 13. — Read more
