First Pictures of Rooney Mara From The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Set

Posted on September 5, 2010 by | Leave a comment

I’m not sure if it’s part of the new TSA safety regulations, but I believe you are physically not allowed to board a plane unless you are carrying a copy of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander trilogy. So for all you weary travelers, enjoy the first leaked photos of Rooney Mara in action as Salander — if you can call sitting indian-style while casually removing your jacket action. But, hey, she looks pretty close to what I envisioned Lisbeth looking like.

Drive-In Theater Playing The Last Exorcism Erupts In Flames

Posted on September 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Tulsa, OK drive-in theater, the Admiral Twin, burnt to a crisp yesterday while featuring a double-bill of The Last Exorcism and Predators . Fire officials have no leads yet as to what caused the renowned landmark, built in 1951, to razed by the damnable fires of perdition, but some think that dark forces may be at work. Which I don’t think is possible because not eight miles away, a theater playing Eat, Pray, Love is still recounting its unholy tale. More of the cindery remains of the Admiral after the break.

Oscar Darling Natalie Portman Tweaked, Tucked in Revised Black Swan Poster

Posted on September 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

That striking, haunting poster for Black Swan — featuring a wing-eyed, facepainted, selectively focused Natalie Portman — has been revised just in time for the long Oscar haul to come. You could expect nothing less from the micromanaging marketers at Fox Searchlight, especially after the lightning strike of Oscar hype that greeted Black Swan ‘s premiere this week in Venice. But: Is it actually any better? Judge for yourself after the jump.

Kristen Bell Still Hoping to Make the Never-Happening Veronica Mars Movie

Posted on September 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Poor Kristen Bell. If she would have just listened to Movieline , she’d know better than to once again resurrect the hopes and dreams of Veronica Mars fans the world over. Last night, the You Again star tweeted about the possibility of a feature film version of the long-canceled series, causing a ruckus of hashtags and Facebook groups. Seriously.

REVIEW: Vincent Cassel’s Gangster Saga Fizzles to an End in Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1

Posted on September 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 picks up not where its predecessor ( Mesrine: Killer Instinct , which opened last week ) left off, but rather where that film’s first scene left off: with the imminent demise of its title subject. In the opening scene we return to the Paris intersection where Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) was murdered in his car, and find the press feeding unchecked on his perforated corpse. It’s a mirroring that doesn’t bode well for those hoping that director Jean-François Richet might make the second half of his saga from scratch.

Worst Ratings Summer Ever for The Tonight Show Still Better Than David Letterman

Posted on September 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Good news and bad news, Jay Leno haters. Ratings for The Tonight Show reached an all-time low in the advertiser coveted 18-49 demographic this summer, down 22 percent from the mark Conan O’B rien set a year ago. Hooray! Ready for the bad news? Leno still had more overall viewers than Conan did over the same time period last summer, and The Tonight Show still easily defeated The Late Show with David Letterman . The moral of the story: Late night television is doomed. [ THR ]

Is a Kick-Ass Sequel Really a Good Idea?

Posted on September 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It seems like only yesterday we were sitting around the office wondering what went wrong with Kick-Ass , the story of a downmarket superhero that did mid-market business (at best) at the box-office. But $96 million worldwide — plus whatever it has coming to it on video — is reportedly enough for a follow-up to the modestly-budgeted original. Or so its source’s author says.

Oscar Season Defined in 80 Words

Posted on September 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

” Word is [Natalie Portman]’s giving a pretty swell performance Still, if it is a swell performance and it doesn’t win her the Oscar for which she is now the alleged favorite, we’ll look back on this day and think, ‘How sad–it looked as if she had a shot,’ and hope she can pick herself up and get it together to give another Oscar-worthy performance because this one will have gone down as a disappointment and she will be a loooooooooser .” Please blog more, David Edelstein !
