As much as I like Julianne Moore as an actress, I had a tough time picturing her as Hillary Clinton in the HBO Films/BBC Films movie The Special Relationship (is it sad that whenever I see that title I think of Hugh Grant, as Prime Minister, saying that to sleazy US President played by Billy Bob Thornton in Love Actually?). Now, due to a scheduling conflict, Moore has pulled out of the project Read more
Though many people thought The Soloist (and its lead actors, Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr.) would be up for Oscars this year, Paramount has pushed the movie's release from Nov. 21, 2008 to March 13, 2009. — Variety Hugh Grant is bowing out of the romantic comedy Lost for Words due to differences of opinion on the script. — ComingSoon Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been Read more
Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has been generating positive buzz ever since it premiered at Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery." If this new trailer is any indication, I am starting to see what all the fuss is Read more
If you're a Ryan Reynolds fan like I am, you may have been waiting for The Nines to come out ever since you first heard about its Sundance buzz back in January. On August 31, we'll get our chance to see the super-cute Reynolds starring opposite the ever-amazing Hope Davis as well as Elle Fanning and Melissa McCarthy (Sookie from "Gilmore Girls"!). The Nines is an intriguing drama with Read more
The story of ABC's "Six Degrees" could really be a metaphor for this whole sorry TV season. The show had the right pedigree ("Lost" creator J.J. Abrams) and the right time slot (right after "Grey's Anatomy"), yet it never gained traction with viewers. So ABC yanked it from the schedule before the holidays, revamped it, and trotted it back out in March, only to pull it again two episodes later. Read more
"Six Degrees" was supposed to be the new hit show of the season. It had pedigree — stars Hope Davis and Campbell Scott; executive producer J.J. "Lost" Abrams — and the plum post-"Grey's Anatomy" time slot. Instead, the show about six New Yorkers discovering their connections to each other faltered in the ratings, and ABC yanked it from the schedule in early November. Tonight, it's back with Read more
Viola Davis is getting major kudos for her role in The Help, but she also definitely deserves attention for her fashion daring tonight in an incarnadine slit-up-to-here Pucci gown. She's keeping things simple but sexy with smudgy smoky eyes, some major false lashes, and creamy mauve lipstick. We're hoping that Viola goes home a winner at the big shows this season, but is she also a red-carpet Read more
Octavia Spencer hit the press room at the Critics' Choice Awards tonight fresh off her best supporting actress and best ensemble cast wins. The actress has been receiving lots of accolades for her role in The Help this award season, but when she stopped by to chat with reporters after accepting her latest honors, she said she's "still the same, old, ordinary girl from Mississippi" that she was Read more
The cast of The Help earned the best ensemble cast win tonight at the Critics' Choice Awards, and the ladies from the film were in a reflective mood as they talked about taking on the sometimes-painful movie, as well as bonding off the set over moonshine and fried butter. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney, and Ahna O'Reilly were among the actresses who stopped to talk with Read more
