Posted on December 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

While in China to promote his historical drama The Flowers of War — also known as the most expensive Chinese film ever made — Christian Bale embarked on an eight-hour drive with a CNN news crew to visit Chen Guangcheng, a civil rights activist who has been under house arrest for the past year. Only instead of a polite meet-and-greet, Bale and the news team were manhandled by security guards outside Guangcheng’s home before being chased for 30 minutes. Didn’t the Chinese authorities know they were dealing with Batman?

Pour a Proper Cup of Tea Today for Christopher Hitchens

Posted on December 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

He had divisive opinions and a rare mind, but the late, great Christopher Hitchens also, from time to time, deviated from politics, culture, and history to examine other important issues including film , filmmakers , and — importantly! — how to make tea. Pour one out for Hitch today — the proper way, no dunking — with his wise words from last year.

Were You Wondering if Rob Lowe is Hilarious as Lifetime’s Convicted Killer Drew Peterson? Because He Is.

Posted on December 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Lifetime movies are better than movie movies. They’re melodramatic, inbred morsels of filmic stank. And the best ones — as of today — possess a sacred ingredient called “Rob Lowe’s Moustache-y Acting Talents.” As Bolingbrook, IL cop-turned-murder suspect Drew Peterson in the new TV feature Drew Peterson: Untouchable , Lowe tries on his best Da Bears accent and dons a moustache that reminds me fondly of Reno 911 and his Parks and Recreation costar Nick Offerman. You will not be able to handle his sole line of dialogue in the new teaser trailer.

Jeremy Renner on Mission: Impossible, Tom Cruise’s Action Advice and The Bourne Legacy

Posted on December 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

After earning back-to-back Academy Award nominations — in 2010, for his breakout role in Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker and in 2011, for his supporting part in Ben Affleck’s Boston crime drama The Town — Jeremy Renner decided to dive headfirst into the action genre with four consecutive big-budget action projects. The first, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol , which co-stars Renner as a mysteriously overqualified IMF agent assisting Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt on his latest globe-sweeping assignment, premieres this weekend in IMAX. The next three films, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters , The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy , will all hit theaters next year, making the California-raised actor the busiest action star of 2012.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Trailer: Eating, Praying, and Loving Upstream

Posted on December 16, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I don’t know if you can tell by its freakishly quirky title, but Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is freakishly quirky. Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, and a suddenly super-droll Kristen Scott Thomas star in what appears to be a Middle Eastern-set romcom with kooky supporting characters. There’s also a chance that it’s an Eat, Pray, Love for downtrodden white men, which would be despicable. You figure it out.
