Golden Compass Tops the Box Office, Studio Still Disappointed

The Golden Compass opened this past weekend to the tune of $26 million, easily taking the top spot at the box office, but still disappointing New Line studio heads who'd expected more like $30-40 million. This is especially frustrating given the $180 million it took to make the film.

The animated epic story of Beowulf is impressive from a visual standpoint — it really is like living inside a video game — though story-wise it's empty and forgettable. But if nothing else, you will absolutely remember who. Is. Beowulf. I managed to see Beowulf in an IMAX Read more

Angelina's Beowulf in London

Angelina Jolie channeled a little bit of her past self at a premiere of Beowulf last night in London. Only the outfit's a whole lot more new Angelina due to her poppy pin in honor of Remembrance Day. Seriously though, when was the last time she wore leather pants? Kinda expected to see Billy Bob on her arm. Instead, she was, of course, accompanied by a fairly grizzled looking Brad Pitt with his Read more

Angelina Blushes at Beowulf & Talks Turkeys

Angelina took a break from working on The Changeling to stop by a press conference for Beowulf in Beverly Hills this weekend. The movie is CGI animated, but each character is created in an actor's likeness. Apparently Angelina got a little more than she had bargained for when she watched the film, especially in the scenes where her animated counterpart is naked. She said, "There are certain Read more
