And the Oscars goes to…
So, another Oscar night and a whole bunch of new winners. The 82nd Annual Academy Awards have have just wrapped and without a doubt the big winner was “The Hurt Locker” (the film scooped six awards!). Personally I’m very pleased about Christoph Waltz getting a statue for his fantastic performance in “Inglourious Basterds.”
There were actually [...]
Patrick Swayze is dead
Patrick Swayze died in Los Angeles on Monday after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57. Swayze most recently starred as a tough FBI agent in A&E drama series “The Beast.” His battle with cancer played out publicly as his condition worsened just as the show’s first season bowed on the cabler.

Jackman to star in Ghostopolis
The friendly guys and girls over at The Hollywood Reporter had an interesting story today. Well at least if you’re a fan of Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman. Or if you happen to like movies about ghosts. I’m kind of soft for both so today’s pick wasn’t that tough. Although, I must admit that I was a [...]
Kevin Spacey is the Father of Invention
This one caught my attention solely because of the brilliant actor Kevin Spacey.
His most famous part, and the one you probably recognize him from, is the creepy, smooth-talking eyewitness Verbal Kint in “The Usual Suspects” (1995). Mot likely one of the films of the 90’s. If not THE best one. The role earned Spacey an [...]
Carrey and Gyllenhaal burst out singing
For those of you watching this years Academy Awards, you may remember Hugh Jackman’s tribute to the musical? The little musical piece he did with Beyonce Knowles? He declared the movie musical is back. Apparently he was right. Variety reports that New Line Cinema is playing ball with Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal on “Damn [...]
“And the Oscar goes to…”
It’s that time of year again. Hollywood’s finest wins an Oscar, if they are lucky… Dark Horizons tells us that it was the most interesting ceremony in years. Even though Ben Stiller’s Joaquin Phoenix comedy routines and the “Pineapple Express” comedy montage falling utterly flat… And a couple of the team-ups like Jennifer Aniston [...]
Shia LaBeouf to star in The Associate
Woke up this morning’ and I had this feeling I forgot something. Turns out I haven’t posted about Shia LaBeouf this year. Yeah, I knew it was something wrong… The wait is over my friends. I was over at Variety and apparently writer William Monahan has been set to adapt John Grisham’s bestselling legal thriller [...]
All eyes on Michael Cera
With the Sundance Film Festival coming up there’s an increasing buzz around one particular project. But it’s still a well kept secret. If you look at most movie sites there’s no mention of a film called “Paper Hearts.” But if you talk to the people “on the inside” you realize how high expectations are running [...]
Clooney to Stare at Goats
Todays pick was 100% based on the weird title. Well that, and the mentioning of a big movie star. You can’t really pass on George Clooney. So, when I saw the title “Men Who Stare at Goates” I knew this was worth a post.
On a side note, there is talks about Clooney coming back to [...]
