Keira Knightley is ‘Damned,’ As is Director John Curran
6 January 2009 1:21 PM, PST
The golden couple of the Jazz Age, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald looked great from a distance. But zoom in closer and the cracks began to show. She was a schizophrenic and he was an alcoholic. Their story will be told in the film The Beautiful and the Damned with ...

Daily Diversion: Gremlins Invade Your DVR
6 January 2009 6:00 AM, PST
Any fan of good 80s horror is also, by the transitive property of fandom, a fan of Joe Dante's 1984 film Gremlins. Because lets face it, Gremlins is a classic of sorts. It taught us so much in our youths, including but not limited to not feeding a Gremlin after ...

Review: Frost/Nixon
6 January 2009 6:00 AM, PST
I'm going to buck the trend I created with my Multiple Choice Reviews and just do this one (and tomorrow's for Revolutionary Road) straight-forward. I don't see the point when every aspect of Frost/Nixon is excellent, from Ron Howard's direction to Salvatore Totino's cinematography to Peter Morgan's stirring screenplay. Upon ...

Forest Whitaker May Join Stallone’s ‘Expendables’
5 January 2009 2:07 PM, PST
Not exactly how we missed it a few months back, but it appears that we are way late in reporting that Forest Whitaker is circling the wagons on Sly Stallone's hotly anticipated thriller The Expendables. Whitaker would play the CIA liaison for a group of mercenaries (played by Stallone, Jet Li, ...

Watch This: TCM Remembers 2008’s Departed
5 January 2009 1:31 PM, PST
Normally I would save this for tomorrow's Daily Diversion, but it just feels like something I should be posting in a more timely matter. I will find something silly for the morning. For now though, the video below will take you back through the list of Hollywood's dearly departed in ...

Audrey Tautou Sips Some Hot ‘Coco Chanel’
5 January 2009 1:19 PM, PST
Let's face it. We love Audrey Tautou. We love pictures of Audrey in the forthcoming Coco avant Chanel as well. Tautou jumped onto most American moviegoers' radars in Amelie and she's changed opinions everywhere on the French, which were admittedly ignorant opinions to begin with. But I digress. Tautou's latest effort ...

Broken Lizard Has Begun Talking About ‘Super Troopers 2′
5 January 2009 12:45 PM, PST
Like an Arrested Development movie or Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, a sequel to the hit Broken Lizard comedy Super Troopers has always been right on the edge, while still giving fans that pipedream vibe. But now they are talking, and talking seriously about the second movie as they prepare to ...

Check It Out: Fresh New Clip from ‘Taken’
5 January 2009 12:27 PM, PST
I could probably give you a ten-point list of reasons why you should check out the upcoming suspense thriller Taken, which stars Liam Neeson as a former spy who has to call upon his badass side to rescue his daughter, whose been kidnapped by Eurotrash sex traffickers. Then again, all ...

Monsters vs. Aliens Goes 3D During the Superbowl
5 January 2009 12:15 PM, PST
In addition to a 3D episode of Chuck the week following the Superbowl, NBC will also play home to a very special 3D commercial for the Dreamworks Animation release Monsters vs. Aliens. It's a pretty cool idea, if they can pull it off. As you know, everyone would have to ...

Rob Zombie has his hands on a second Halloween film, and we have our hands on a picture of Michael Myers' new mask. Take a peek at the extremely distressed mask Tyler Mane will be wearing for Zombie's H2 above, courtesy of ShockTillYouDrop. It definitely doesn't have the cleaner look of ...

Blu-ray Report: Dexter, Serenity, Babylon A.D., The Wackness!
5 January 2009 11:18 AM, PST
Another busy week of Blu-ray releases, everything from fan favorites to more padding for your Blu-ray collection, should you choose to go that route... Serenity (December 30) Would it be a crime against geekdom if I admitted to only having seen bits and pieces of Joss Whedon's Serenity? Of course it is. ...

For Your Consideration: The Spirit. The Daily Diversion.
5 January 2009 8:10 AM, PST
As many of you may know, we are not big fans of beating dead horses around here. Then again, this little ad that a reader at TotalFilm worked up for The Spirit is less of a beat and more of a poke -- a poke at one of the most ...

‘Thor’ Hammers Out Big Screen Ending Fit for Gods
5 January 2009 7:45 AM, PST
How can Marvel Studios not disappoint Thor fans and audience members? Bringing character Donald Blake in and having Kenneth Branagh act is a good start. For quite some time there have been questions over how the live-action film of Thor was going to be able to mesh with the rest of ...

Boiling Point: Accent the Negatives
5 January 2009 7:36 AM, PST
Tom Cruise can't seem to catch a break these days. Sure, he's rich, married, successful, a legend, has a motorcycle, and again is rich, but it's probably hard to be the Cruisinator. Take Valkyrie, the recent Christmas release retelling the tale of an assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler by members ...
