Roberto Benigni on the Set of Woody Allen’s Bop Decameron: His 5 Greatest Expressions

Posted on August 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The memory of Roberto Benigni’s 1999 Best Actor Oscar win for Life is Beautiful is still a pleasurable, if slightly unsettling jolt to my synapses. Chair jumping! Hollering! Grand gesturing! That unmistakable air of horniness! More than ten years later, Benigni is exhuming that fervor on the set of Woody Allen’s Bop Decameron , where he costars alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Alec Baldwin, and Greta Gerwig. Here are his best five moments of paparazzi-captured craycray.

Catwoman’s Iconic Look Through the Decades — Who Wore it Best?

Posted on August 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

All this fuss over the first look at Anne Hathaway ‘s maybe-official Catwoman garb in The Dark Knight Rises brings to mind Selina Kyle’s sartorial choices over the years, since her 1940 debut in Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Batman #1 comic. Much has changed through the decades, from Catwoman’s sultry swingin’ ’60s shimmer to, well, Halle Berry’s unfortunate bra ‘n’ leather pants getup. Will Hathaway’s be-goggled Selina Kyle fare any better than her predecessors?

Who Are Captain America’s Biggest Foreign Box-Office Allies? [UPDATE]

Posted on August 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Before Captain America: First Avenger was released in July, much was made about how the title — and title character in his red, white and blue — would play in foreign markets. In fact, three countries (Russia, Ukraine and South Korea) even decided to release the film with the Marvel-approved shortened title The First Avenger . Following a successful showing stateside , good ol’ Cap made his worldwide debut in many big foreign markets over the weekend; as the numbers trickle in, it looks he’s got some pretty enthusiastic allies.

The New Trailer for Moneyball Changes the Game, For Good and Bad

Posted on August 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Let’s get this out of the way up front: the latest trailer for Moneyball looks like the previous trailer for the film. It makes what many believed to be an unadaptable book into something dramatic, funny and altogether thrilling. At least in trailer form. (It helps that Brad Pitt is putting on the “full Redford” in the campaign; dude looks like Roy Hobbs’s son.) That said, there is a quibble — at least from a baseball standpoint.

Who is the Most Surprising Omission on the Forbes List of Highest-Earning Actors in Hollywood?

Posted on August 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In a similar fashion with what they did with actresses , Forbes has released a list of the 15 highest-earning actors in Hollywood (caveat here for the perhaps inexact figures). Topping the list? Not Johnny Depp (No. 2) or Will Smith (No. 4), but Leonardo DiCaprio, who — thanks to his one-two 2010 punch of Shutter Island and Inception — has earned upward of $77 million in the last year. Kudos, Leo! The rest of the list is populated with familiar faces like Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise and Tim Allen. Wait, what is Tim Allen doing here?
