Forbidden Kingdom gave kung fu fans the match up of their dreams, pairing up martial arts screen giants Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall came in second place, earning $17 million. Variety reports that while this Read more
Dr. Phil is in hot water again after a production assistant on his show posted bail for one of the teenage girls accused of filming an assault on a classmate. Apparently Phil hoped that by loaning her bond money, he could secure an exclusive interview. — TMZ Prom Night took the top spot at the weekend box office, followed by Street Kings and 21. — BuzzSugar Project Runway's Nina Garcia has Read more
Maybe it's that time of the year, or perhaps there was a strong nationwide desire to see a scary movie, but whatever the reason, horror flick Prom Night was crowned queen at the box office this weekend. Variety reports that the movie's $22.7 million marks the best opening for a horror picture so far this year, possibly due to the teen-friendly PG-13 rating. Though Street Kings is loaded with Read more
Street Kings is primarily focused on examining two types of police officers seen in many a film before: the rogue cop who disregards the law in the name of justice and the cop that appears to follow the rules but is deeply corrupt. You would think that in the hands of a talented guy like director David Ayer, who is well-versed in the handling of this kind of gritty material (having written Read more
Next Friday a film called Street Kings hits theaters nationwide. It stars some great people, like Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, John Corbett and the ever-delicious Common. It also stars Keanu Reeves. Reeves' presence in a movie is almost a deal breaker for me (though, of course I'm still going to see Street Kings). When I recently voiced this opinion at the office, however, there were a few Read more
Keanu Reeves finally ditched the scraggly beard and was looking pretty hot riding his motorcycle around LA over the weekend. Keanu sightings are few and far between these days, but he's got a new movie coming out in April, which means we get to see more of him. The film was originally called The Night Watchman, but the title got changed to Street Kings, so be sure to keep a lookout for cute Read more
That's Officer Reeves To You, Missy. Keanu Reeves was looking more clean cut than he has in a while on the set of The Night Watchman in LA. It seems that action movies are more Keanu's Speed (heh, Speed) these days, but it's hard to forget his comedic days of yore. In fact, someone is feeling the need to remake Keanu's cinematic masterpiece Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures (in a straight to Read more
I'm not much of a German food aficionado, but a few years ago, I read a New Yorker article about Germany's "king of cakes" that's been forged in my mind ever since. In the story, Mimi Sheraton embarks on a fervid quest for baumkuchen, a ringed, hollow cake that's made on a spit with layer after painstaking layer of batter, then iced with a coating of chocolate or sugar.

Recently, I found myself with the prospect of being in Boulder, CO, for a long weekend. It was an opportunity that I seized faster than a dog would take leftovers. Aside from being home to the University of Colorado's flagship college campus, Boulder's also known for its food-centric, health-focused, and highly educated population — last year, it was even named America's Foodiest Town by Bon Read more
Zoe Saldana looked radiant in a lilac Elie Saab number at the Cosmopolitan for Latinas launch party last night in NYC. The 33-year-old Avatar star covers the premiere issue of the magazine, which hit newsstands on May 1. Zoe has another reason to celebrate, as she's also nominated for best Latino actor at the upcoming MTV Movie Awards for her work in Colombiana. Zoe is currently wrapped up in Read more
