Newlyweds Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt were all smiles at last night's NYC season three premiere of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Stanley and Felicity secretly wed earlier this year, though they have plans for a larger ceremony in the future. Stanley's got a busy Fall ahead, with his Robert Redford-directed drama, The Company You Keep, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival tonight and production on Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, beginning in Atlanta.

Ashlee Simpson wore a short white frock to accompany her boyfriend and Boardwalk Empire star, Vincent Piazza. The pair cuddled close to snap photos, then headed inside the screening to mingle with Vincent's castmates Kelly Macdonald, Jack Huston, and Steve Buscemi. The show returns with new episodes Sept. 16, and the group will reunite shortly afterward on Sept. 23 at the Primetime Emmy Awards. They're up for six nominations, including outstanding drama series and outstanding lead actor for Steve Buscemi, who took home last year's award. Be sure to fill out your Emmy ballot for a chance to win $2,000.

Brave's Kelly Macdonald on Being Pixar's First Heroine

This Friday when Brave hits theaters, audiences will meet Merida, Disney Pixar's first heroine.
by

This Friday when Brave hits theaters, audiences will meet Merida, Disney Pixar's first heroine. The storied studio has never had a girl star in its 12 animated films, but that will change with Merida, a headstrong princess of the ancient Scottish kingdom of DunBroch, determined to change her destiny. Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald, who has starred in Boardwalk Empire and No Country For Old Men, is the voice of Merida, who comes to life on screen with wild red hair and enviable archery skills. Unlike Disney princesses of the past, Merida is strictly opposed to landing a prince charming, which causes her to clash with her elegant and duty-minded mother, Queen Elinor. I traveled to Scotland to interview the stars and makers of Brave, and sat down with Kelly Macdonald, a mother herself, to talk about what it was like to play Pixar's first leading lady, how she relates to the characters as a daughter and a mother, and what it means to be brave. Watch now, and enjoy Kelly's beautiful Scottish accent!

Princess Merida Is Set to Kick Butt in the Brave Trailer

We met Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) when Pixar released the teaser trailer for Brave back in the Summer, but now we're getting a better look at the animated leading lady whose personality seems just as fiery as her wild mane of red hair.

We met Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) when Pixar released the teaser trailer for Brave back in the Summer, but now we're getting a better look at the animated leading lady whose personality seems just as fiery as her wild mane of red hair. Despite her royal background, Merida isn't sitting around waiting for Prince Charming.

Merida turns the kingdom's world upside down when she ignores its customs, and it's up to her to make things right by embarking on a dangerous adventure. I'm always a fan of girl power, especially when it's geared toward a younger audience, and Merida seems to have just the right amount of sass and bravery for Pixar's first heroine.

Sneak Peek: Premiere Photos From HBO's Boardwalk Empire!

True Blood may be off the air for now, but HBO has found an equally exciting Fall TV replacement to fill its time slot.
by

True Blood may be off the air for now, but HBO has found an equally exciting Fall TV replacement to fill its time slot. Premiering tonight, Boardwalk Empire has been building hype for months. Martin Scorsese directed the pilot and writer Terence Winter of The Sopranos serves as creator, so to say critics' hopes are high is putting it mildly (it's already one of my five new shows to watch).

The story takes place during 1920s prohibition in Atlantic City as a corrupt public official (Steve Buscemi) uses his clout to keep the town boozed and put money in his pockets — even if it means throwing a few dead bodies into the river in the process. It promises to be a juicy tale of wealth and power, but with an ensemble of familiar faces, gorgeous costumes, and elaborate sets, the series delivers plenty of eye candy as well. To help tide you over until Sunday's big debut, just click here to watch the trailer again, then check out these photos from the premiere!

Sneak Peek at Scorsese's Boardwalk Empire For HBO!

Rumor is that HBO's series Boardwalk Empire won't air until this Fall, but I'm already getting amped for its premiere. The show roster has talent in spades: Sopranos writer Terence Winter pens the script, Steve Buscemi plays a lead, and at its helm (at least for the pilot) is Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.

Scorsese knows a thing or two about portraying hoodlums (Gangs of New York or The Departed come to mind), so he should be in his element here portraying 1920s Atlantic City during the prohibition and the gangsters who run it. While it's not known yet just how involved he'll be as the show goes on (besides serving as a producer, of course), I'm crossing my fingers that the show continues to reap the benefits of his influence. The cinematic feel of this trailer is just too darn good, and it should be — an inside source claims the pilot cost $50 million to make.

The teaser doesn't give away much, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see some familiar big-screen faces pop up, including Michael Pitt and Kelly Macdonald. Bonus — my choice for Golden Globes Best Actor, Michael Stuhlbarg, is in the cast, too. Seems to me like HBO has its next big hit. Watch the video and tell me if you agree when you read more

Movie Preview: The Merry Gentleman

It's not often that a crime drama about a hitman elicits a great big "Awwwwww!"

It's not often that a crime drama about a hitman elicits a great big "Awwwwww!" from me, but the trailer for The Merry Gentleman caused just that reaction, placing it in the same (um, fairly limited) category as The Professional. The hitman in The Merry Gentleman is Frank, played by a gruff Michael Keaton (who also makes his directorial debut with this film), who meets a sweet and charming young lady named Kate (Kelly Macdonald) when he helps her out from underneath a fallen Christmas tree. This fact — Frank finding her under the tree, like a gift — is played for cute poignancy in the trailer, but somehow it avoids veering into too-saccharine territory.

Frank is suicidal when he meets Kate, and there's a humor-amid-darkness vibe to the film that reminds me a bit of Little Miss Sunshine. The movie is set to open May 1. It really is one of the cutest trailers I've seen lately, so to check it out, read more

Trailer for Choke

Movie Preview: Choke

Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character.

Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict.

The movie received a lot of good buzz coming out of this year's Sundance Film Festival, even winning the Special Jury Prize. The film hits theaters August 1 and stars Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Houston, and an actress I'm always excited to see onscreen again (especially after her performance in No Country for Old Men), Kelly Macdonald.

Who read the book? Are you excited to see this on the big screen? To check out the trailer for yourself, read more
