Michelle Yeoh Deported from Burma Over Pro-Democracy Role

Posted on June 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Michelle Yeoh, the star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Tomorrow Never Dies , was booted from Burma last week for working on director Luc Besson’s biopic The Lady , about Nobel Prize winner and Burmese government protester Suu Kyi. Burmese authorities blacklisted Yeoh for her “presumed support” of Kyi, who spent almost 15 years in house arrest. If Yeoh should fight for her right to visit Burma, I hope she storms the shores with Sheryl Crow’s defiant Bond theme . [ Moviefone ]

A Boy And His Horse: Watch the Sparkling Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse

Posted on June 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When the trailer for The Adventures of Tintin was released online last month, it was met with some push-back from Steven Spielberg fans because of its Zemeckis-y tumble into the uncanny valley. Good thing, then, that Spielberg has another December release lined up to please his many devotees: the motion capture-free War Horse . The first trailer for the World War I drama about a boy (Jeremy Irvine) and his horse has arrived online, and you might want to bring a tissue to watch it ahead.

Bad Movies We Love: Punchline

Posted on June 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Before you watch Tom Hanks cling to Julia Roberts and a deplorable moped in Larry Crowne this weekend, please take a moment to remember when he clung to Sally Field and a mic stand in the 1988 riot of confusion called Punchline . It’s about standup comedy. Which is funny! When it is funny. And Punchline ? Is not that word, which is repeated repeatedly in Punchline . That’s what qualifies it as a lovably bad movie, not to mention the most appropriately titled one of all time. Because it is not funny. But it is a joke. And I doubt you’ve heard this one before.

Check Out Two New Photos From The Hobbit: Bilbo and Gandalf Face Off

Posted on June 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Thanks to a couple of new stills in Empire magazine, the latest pictures of Ian McKellen and Martin Freeman’s sepia-hued prestige in The Hobbit are upon us! And they look… so shadowy. Like a Middle-earth version of There Will Be Blood , where Martin Freeman plays H.W. and McKellen plays a post-apocalyptic version of Daniel Plainview (whose Pringles mustache is replaced with a fibrous beard). Get a load of “young” Gandalf and a new quote from Peter Jackson.

John Turturro Would Like His Own Big Lebowski Spin-Off

Posted on June 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Coen brother stock actor John Turturro told the AV Club that not only would he love to make a big screen spin-off for his Big Lebowski bowler Jesus Quintana, but he has already written up some notes. “Joel and Ethan don’t really want to do it, but if I can get them to approve my outline, which I think they liked there’s a very good chance of making it.” Until then, you’re just going to have to settle for those DirecTV commercials for your Lebowski reunion fix.
