Forbes Reveals Its Top 10 Best Actresses For the Buck
We know that some actresses in Hollywood have hefty paychecks, but which A-listers bring in the most money for the studios? Forbes just revealed its top 10, and the list includes several unexpected choices.
At No.
The International: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Bank?
The International, starring Clive Owen as an Interpol operative tracking the shady dealings of a large bank, has as much going for it as it does working against it. It's not a bad movie, sprinkled as it is with scenes that are visually extraordinary, not to mention insanely entertaining. But it's not a good movie either, thanks to half-baked characterization and dialogue that had my audience howling with laughter (which I'm sure was unintended).
Separated at Birth: Clive Owen Intrigue Movies
This weekend the Clive Owen movie The International will debut in theaters. Aside from some key differences, this movie looks a bit like another Clive Owen movie that will be out in March titled Duplicity. Both appear to deal with large international corporations and potentially involve espionage.
Movie Preview: The International
In the trailer for Clive Owen's new movie The International, there's lots of heart-pounding music and stressed out characters, and yet I failed to feel the excitement while viewing it. There's a lot going on and everyone's saying cryptic things about a bank, and I'm just not totally intrigued.
On the other hand: Yay, Clive Owen!

Movie Preview: The Painted Veil
There are so many movies coming out right now that it's hard to remember them all, much less see them all. But I'm definitely adding The Painted Veil to my list. Directed by John Curran (who gave us the thought-provoking anti-romance We Don't Live Here Anymore), the movie stars Naomi Watts as an aristocrat who marries a bacteriologist, played by Edward Norton; the newly married couple who travel to China to treat a cholera outbreak.
