Posted on November 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ashley Greene has been playing Alice, an unwaveringly supportive sisterly friend to Kristen Stewart ‘s Bella, since the beginning of the Twilight series. In Breaking Dawn — Part 1 the psychic Alice serves as wedding planner and all-around helpful vampire girl, but also faces a sudden inability to help Bella by seeing her future, or that of the child she’s carrying. Greene talked about Bella’s well-being, the nature of relationships and the film’s intense birth scene.

Bill Condon on Breaking Dawn, Bella as Bride of Frankenstein and Twilight’s ‘Gay Sensibility’

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Every director who’s gone through the whirlwind circus that is filming and releasing a Twilight movie eventually gets to relax and breathe a sigh of relief, but Bill Condon ( Gods and Monsters, Dreamgirls ) still has miles and miles to go. Fans and critics will finally see what the Oscar-winner brings to the YA vampire franchise when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 hits theaters Nov. 18, but if they find themselves displeased with his treatment of Stephenie Meyer’s beloved novel, it could be a tough year’s wait until Condon’s simultaneously-shot series ender ( Breaking Dawn – Part 2 ) concludes the series next fall.

Henry Cavill on Immortals, Man of Steel, Surviving Tough Times and Inspiring Twilight’s Edward Cullen

Posted on November 10, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Much has been made of British actor Henry Cavill ‘s abs in this week’s Immortals , or the strange, logic-defying Superman beard spied on the set of Man of Steel . Never mind that the 28-year-old actor turns in a persuasive dramatic performance in Tarsem ‘s stylized fantasy myth, playing the classic hero Theseus as an honorable peasant battling a sadistic god-hating tyrant (Mickey Rourke) with the aid of a comely priestess (Freida Pinto) and supernatural bow and arrows. But therein lies the surprise: Go to Immortals for the bloody action, or the mythological spin, or the wonderment of Tarsem’s visuals, and you’ll also get the pleasant revelation that Cavill wears leading man status like a natural.

Posted on November 7, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This week finally brings Melancholia to limited theatrical release in the US, where prospective viewers have spent the five months since its Cannes premiere attempting to parse the great , fraught , near-instant mythology of director Lars von Trier’s latest masterpiece. Finally the work can speak for itself — or mostly speak for itself, anyway, with help from co-star and modern-era von Trier muse Charlotte Gainsbourg.

John Cho on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, Meeting the World’s Leaders, and Talking Basketball with the President

Posted on November 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The sweetest feel-good flick of the holiday season may well be the one about two ex-BFFs, who’d once gone in search of White Castle sliders and tangled with Homeland Security, who reunite on Christmas Eve to hunt down the perfect fir, crossing paths with drug-sniffing babies, Ukrainian gangsters, and a sweater-clad Danny Trejo along the way. Stoner heroes Harold and Kumar have come a long way since 2004 — and so has co-star John Cho , who sat down with Movieline recently to talk H&K, career moves, and his encounters with the likes of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and President Obama.

REVIEW: Killing Bono Tackles Fame and Failure With Mixed Comic Results

Posted on November 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

For every musical act that’s made it big, there are thousands that have languished in obscurity, but when it comes to movies, it’s rare that a band that comes to naught gets much screen time. Achtung Baby celebrates it’s 20 year anniversary this month, and joining the chorus of reminiscences about U2′ s legacy and impact is Killing Bono , a slightly sour Irish comedy about not making it big directed by Nick Hamm ( Godsend ) and based on Neil McCormick’s memoir Killing Bono: I Was Bono’s Doppelganger .

Lily Tomlin on Robert Altman, David O. Russell and a Lifetime of Achievement

Posted on November 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In a career spanning over four decades Lily Tomlin has virtually done it all — but, as she told Movieline this week at the Savannah Film Festival , in town to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, she’s not done yet. After rising to stardom on Laugh-In (where she created indelible characters like Ernestine the telephone operator and Edith Ann, the impossibly precocious 5-year-old), the funny woman won Grammys for her comedy albums, won a Tony for her one-woman Broadway show, earned an Oscar nod making her dramatic debut in Robert Altman’s Nashville , and starred in ’80s comedy classics like 9 to 5 and The Incredible Shrinking Woman .

Stephen Moyer on His Double Jail Time, True Blood’s Camera Tricks and the Reason He Won’t Do a Rom-Com

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

American audiences came to love English actor Stephen Moyer as sexy, small-town vampire Bill Compton on HBO’ s hit show True Blood . But when the award-winning Alan Ball series goes on hiatus — as it is now between its fourth and fifth seasons — the accomplished stage actor fits in as many film projects as he can. The latest being The Double , Michael Brand’s directorial debut which co-stars Moyer as a Soviet psychopath assassin who is locked behind bars with only a gruesome facial scar and a secret — a secret that Richard Gere and Topher Grace try to wheedle out of him as they investigate the murder of a senator in this political thriller.
