Posted on September 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s been too long since we went for a stroll in Movieline’s deep, stardust-covered archives. So! Down we go to the Vault, where a whole batch of classic issues have yielded gems like Alicia Silverstone at her Clueless peak, Julianne Moore in praise of Sylvester Stallone, Paul Verhoeven’s draw to Showgirls (hint: “mostly tits”), Claire Danes’s low ebb of glamour, and billion-dollar man Steve Guttenberg keeping it real with his critics. Read on, and luxuriate in the history.

He is still here. According to Vulture , director Clint Eastwood is looking to cast Joaquin Phoenix opposite the rumored Leonardo DiCaprio in Hoover . Phoenix would star as Clyde Tolson, the “reputed paramour and protégé” of Hoover (DiCaprio), in the Dustin Lance Black-scripted biopic. Hopefully this role doesn’t require any onscreen vomiting .

Lone Star Gets Devoured in the Ratings

Posted on September 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Despite near unanimous praise — and Movieline’s approval — a paltry 4 million viewers tuned in to watch the series premiere of Lone Star last night, which is a shame for anyone who likes good network television and not fat jokes . Speaking of which, Mike & Molly was viewed by over 12 million people making it the biggest premiere of the night and moving us one step closer to the end of days. Good choices, everyone! [ HitFix ]

Posted on September 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last time Movieline caught up with Paul Giamatti, the actor was still getting his head around having played a version of himself in the curious indie Cold Souls . This year in Toronto, we reconvened to discuss a matter of similar weight and import: How a guy from Brooklyn came to play one of the most celebrated characters in recent Canadian literature — in a film adaptation all of Canada had its eyes on.

What Ben Affleck’s Comeback Can Teach Hollywood About Hygiene and Hits

Posted on September 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Ben Affleck’s box-office champ, The Town , is about the section of Boston where nobody shaves, which should be no surprise. When movie stars age or fade, they often seek to restablish their legitimacy by directing themselves in scrappy, hygiene-challenged movies you can smell. Affleck scored an A, but does he ruin the curve for others?

Posted on September 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Billy Gardell, an established stand-up comic, is adjusting well to his role as the star of the new CBS sitcom Mike & Molly , which, of course, premieres tonight . The series, a multicam yarn about a couple (played by Gardell and Gilmore Girls alum Melissa McCarthy) that meets at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, is not afraid to throw around the word “fat.” Movieline caught up with Gardell at a press conference to discuss the show’s appeal, whether the Modern Family audience will latch on, and shifting gears from the humor in his stand-up.

Posted on September 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

First Javier Bardem agreed to “rock the house” on Glee and now his Oscar-winning peer Gwyneth Paltrow is rumored to be circling the Fox hit. The custom designed role — Paltrow and creator Ryan Murphy are buds and he wrote it with her in mind — extends over two episodes in November and would find Paltrow as a singing and dancing substitute teacher for Will Schuester. Naturally, both he and New Directions grow to love to her, much to the consternation of Emma Pillsbury. Stay Country Strong , Gwen! [ E! ]
