Will someone please explain to me how Carla Gugino has been relegated to playing drunken senior citizens (see Watchmen ). Carla Gugino! She is a spry sexy 37 year-old... only 7 years older than screen daughter Malin Akerman and as far as I can tell a far better actress, too. Not that Watchmen showca...

Last week's top ten of Most Overdue for Oscar Wins got a lot of people going (119 comments). And it's interesting to me that the readers choice poll ranking is going to be quite different. Seems that 'round the web my confiscating of Peter O'Toole (on account of that honorary Oscar) was an unpopular...

We're only two and half months into the year -- this is right around the time I start going to movies again, waking from my Oscar hibernation -- and even though Watchmen didn't pan out, going from complex heady source material to a stiff 'eh?' as a film, we already have at least two fine candidates ...

Whoa. This news isn't entirely fresh (it's been in development for some two years) but I can't shake it now that it's actually happening. Someone stop the doomsday clock. How is Dakota Fanning growing up so fast? She's a tiny adorable little kid. Sean Penn is her alien-battling father. Tom Cruise is...

"Oh my god what is that?" Lindsay Lohan has trouble recognizing solids. Duh, Linds, it's oatmeal with blueberries. Orange juice and toast on the side. Georgia (Jane Fonda) provides. Blueberries... damn, wish they were in season. So good for you. They improve your memory, prevent cancer, all sorts of...

Kristin Scott Thomas is "Extraordinary" When I spoke with the acclaimed British actress in January, as we both recovered from Golden Globe parties, I discovered that she loves describing other actors that way. Yet the adjective fits her like a glove. "Versatile" would be another apt descriptor. She'...

Biography movies will never die! Run for cover. The NY Post blog PopWrap gave me a little chortle titling this premiere photo to your left "Emily Blunt: Boob Watch". If you were Emily Blunt wouldn't you stare at it, too? She's delicious and knows it. It seems like years ago when we first started tal...

Multiple Men Jezebel has words for Vanity Fair on their self spoofing Erik Lundegaard on the NYT box office coverage and love of Paul Blart. "Dudes: Cover the industry. Don’t cover for the industry." Well played Erik, well played. Mighty God King "If Batman Did Rap Battles" (What's the equivalent ...

Kate Winslet finally won her Oscar, delighting the bulk of fans who have been rooting for her since she dreamt of Hollywood in '94 -- 'they're desperately keen to sign me up!' -- or nearly drowned in '97. She never let go. So, who is next? Or rather... who is most overdue? Contrary to popular belief...

Or that you could time travel into the room as they were being taken. [photo src] And if either of those things were possible, wouldn't you grab every Old Hollywood candid you could find in order to listen in or join the party? What exactly would Rosalind Russell, Greer Garson and Merle Oberon chat ...
