‘Person of Interest’ in Ronni Chasen Murder Shoots Himself

A bizarre update in the murder of veteran Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen: A man believed to be connected to the murder pulled a handgun and shot himself as Beverly Hills investigators closed in to serve him with a search warrant. Police have released no information on the man, other than the fact that he was a “person of interest,” but a neighbor said he knew the man as an ex-convict named Harold, though added that “I don’t even know…if anything he told me was true.” Still developing…[ The Wrap , LAT ]

Trailer: Megashark Vs. Crocosaurus…Vs. Steve Urkel?

One day, God-willing, there will be an amazing DVD consisting entirely of previews for Boa vs. Python , the almighty Sharktopus and every other Megalodon/Mega-Python/Gateroid direct to video creature feature of the last five years. Hopefully with commentaries. But for now, we’ll take these trailers one at a time and give thanks when a new one brightens an otherwise drab week. That brings me to Megashark vs. Crocosaurus which features the two title characters battling it out as well as a grown up Jaleel White (that is, Steve Urkel from Family Matters ) flexing some pretty hefty acting muscles.

Vincent Cassel on Black Swan, Movie Overkill and the Politics of Selling Out

One good, sprawling interview with an international cinema star deserves another, and so we return to Vincent Cassel.

Mere months later, Black Swan has captivated critics, festival audiences and not just a few Oscar voters ahead of this weekend’s theatrical opening.

VIDEO: Learn the New Rules of Fight Club in the Bollywood Remake Teaser

Good news! You can now talk about Fight Club to your heart’s content. The bad news? It gets a little more complicated after that. This teaser for the Bollywood remake of David Fincher’s ode to mid-life nihilism lays out five new rules for members, and while some are totally rational (You now need a valid reason for a fight.), others just left me confused. I’m particularly intrigued by number three which is known only as “The Left Hand Rule.” The character talking about it does hold up his left hand, but otherwise I’m completely baffled. And does rule number one for this film negate the left hand rule anyway? Check all of them out and weigh in on the practicality and fairness of The Left Hand Rule after the jump.
