Diane Keaton is moving to television, starring in an HBO half-hour comedy project about a feminist icon trying to reignite the movement.
Written by Marti Noxon — who's been a writer and producer on shows ranging from Grey's Anatomy to Mad Men to Buffy — the show will spotlight Keaton's character attempting to get the feminist movement back on track "by starting a sexually explicit magazine for women." Noxon says she was inspired in part by her own life as the daughter of a lesbian radical feminist, where rebellion meant things like deciding to shave her legs.

These two movies might take place in completely different countries and time periods, but the Monster-in-Law/Meet the Parents/isn't-family-wacky overtones are the same. If there's anything to take away from the trailers for Smother and Easy Virtue it's "beware the in-laws!"
We've been keeping an eye on Easy Virtue for a while now, seeing as it's Jessica Biel's (as a bright blonde?) first big leading lady role in a comedy — a British comedy that takes place in the 1920s, no less.

There are some cinematic couplings that are so full of cuteness that I get giddy at the thought of them reuniting. Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are one such couple, having totally endeared themselves to me in Father of the Bride (I just pretend that little sequel doesn't exist).
Now, these two may couple up again for One Big Happy, a comedy by Party of Five creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman.

Opening January 18, 2008 Mad Money finds three ladies forming an unlikely team to rob their employer. Apparently, it's based on a true story. It appears that there's the sassy lady played by Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton plays the clever older lady and Katie Holmes has the role of the quirky free spirit who dances her way, um, everywhere.

I have to confess, I don't think Jon Heder is much of a comedic actor outside the role of Napoleon Dynamite. And don't get me wrong, that is a hilarious character. But I have little faith in his ability to branch out.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have, up until this moment, been a firm supporter of Diane Keaton. I’ve loved her from Annie Hall through Baby Boom, and I even stuck by her during the Something’s Gotta Give period. Yet her newest movie, Because I Said So, leaves me feeling a deep and confusing disappointment that's going to take a long time to get over.

It's been a good couple of weeks for Mandy Moore. Her new indie flick, Dedication, was just bought by the Weinstein Company and First Look at Sundance, and soon you can see her in Because I Said So, which opens nationwide this Friday. Moore plays the daughter of a meddlesome mother (Diane Keaton), who relentlessly interferes in her daughter's romantic life when she should be concentrating on her own.
