Late Night Highlights: Jay Leno Uncovers Lost Footage of Javier Bardem as Superman

When Javier Bardem stopped by the Tonight Show last night, Jay Leno got into the holiday spirit by showing embarrassing video of the Eat Pray Love actor crying on camera as a child and then preening as Superman for a job in the ’90s. Elsewhere, Jack Black and Conan O’B rien staged a rock off, David Letterman destroyed a Christmas tree and then the Late Show host took aim at Sarah Palin.

Was Shutter Island ‘Overlooked’?

Martin Scorsese’s gothic psychological thriller Shutter Island grossed $294 million worldwide, remains on the awards-season bubble, and persists at year’s end as a divisive critical flashpoint. So why is it among L.A. Times critic Betsy Sharkey’s most “overlooked” films of 2010? “Director Martin Scorsese’s dark and devious brain tease is as much a conversation as a movie,” Sharkey writes. ” Instead of tying up loose ends, he keeps unraveling them so by the time he drops the big one, you should be good for hours of post-cinema parsing. See it with a friend.” Funny, I thought we all… had? Anyway, I’m curious: Help me help you help her understand. [ LAT ]

Ready for some shocking monetary figures that will put your $9/hour filing paychecks to shame? According to Forbes, Leonardo DiCaprio grossed $1.1 billion at the global box office in 2011 thanks to the fearsome twosome of Shutter Island and Inception . Okay, maybe DiCaprio’s perch on top of this year’s highest-grossing list is not that shocking.

CBS Reveals Midseason Plan: What’s New? What’s Moved?

CBS on Tuesday announced its midseason game plan, and given the network’s embarrassment of riches, none of the changes merits any cause for alarm.

The Trailer for Limitless Wants Us to Believe Bradley Cooper is a Dirty Writer

Here’s a Hollywood truism for Dec. 16: No matter how stringy the wig you put on Bradley Cooper looks, he’s still Bradley Cooper . Translation: He’s really good looking! Yet the trailer for Limitless would have us believe that Cooper was a dingy old writer (with John Cusack’s wig from Being John Malkovich ) and that only some crazypants clear pill — which has some deadly side effects, as we’ve learned — could make him look like “Bradley Cooper.” Riiiiight.

REVIEW: Jack Abramoff is More Folk Hero Than Scoundrel in Casino Jack

Until he was convicted in 2008, Jack Abramoff was a wearer of many hats: Washington lobbyist supreme, bedfellow of right-wing creeps like Tom DeLay and Ralph Reed, bilker of Indian nations, sometime film producer, restaurateur, observant Jew. Within the past year, he also became the star subject of two movies: First the sharp, complex Alex Gibney documentary Casino Jack and the United States of Money, and now the more straightforwardly titled Casino Jack , directed by the late George Hickenlooper and starring Kevin Spacey in the title role. If Abramoff fancies himself a charming scamp, he’ll be a lot happier with how he’s portrayed in the latter movie — and that’s the problem with it.

George Clooney Set for Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity

Well, then! Warner Bros. announced today that George Clooney will replace Robert Downey Jr. in Alfonso Cuaron’s highly anticipated — and perhaps actually happening — Gravity . Clooney will co-star alongside Sandra Bullock in the space drama, though his part is of the supporting variety. What does this mean for that report about Clooney’s involvement in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. with Steven Soderbergh? Perhaps another addition to the Ridiculous Casting/Development Rumors list is needed. [ Deadline ]
