The Notable Films of 2010: Part Six

27 December 2009 10:09 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Last Airbender

Opens: July 2nd 2010

Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel

Director: M. Night Shyamalan

Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.

Analysis: Its been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan who started it as a household name with labels of a moodern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".

Thus 'Airbender' marks a potential return to form for the helmer. An adaptation of the hit cartoon series »

To Sing and Die in L.A.

18 December 2009 8:27 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Glenn from Stale Popcorn here to share some thoughts on 2004, the current year of retrospective here at The Film Experience.

Two of my favourite films from 2004 share Los Angeles as a setting. One is about a serial killer driving around the streets in a taxi while the other is about lesbian musicians trying to catch a break. So the similarities pretty much end there. I like to imagine that they filmed right around the corner from each other and that they accidentally caught each other on film. Hiding in the background.

The first title I speak of is Michael Mann's Collateral. Perhaps the best pure thriller of the decade, the film is noteworthy for many reasons. First and foremost there is the decade-topping cinematography by Paul Cameron and Dion Beebe. Truly an awe-inspiring piece of camerawork there, don't you agree? Expressions like "I've never seen that on screen before »

Mila Kunis Downplays 'Swan' Sex Scene With Natalie Portman

2 December 2009 10:47 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon in Bound, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards in Wild Things, and Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer's Body. What do they all have in common? Named are some of the hottest female-on-female kiss scenes in the history of cinema. Why are we getting you all worked up? Rumor has it that Darren Aronofsky's forthcoming Black Swan will take us to new heights with a sex scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. "Surely, she understands why the rumor has fans in a tizzy," "Kunis' black nail-polished fingers hit the table in a cascade of taps." "Sure," she says, with a roll of her eyes. "It's two girls making out, and guys have a thing for that. And Nat is like every guy's dream. She's a nerd's idea of heaven. The whole thing is silly, but I can see why people care." »

Gina Gershon: 'The Facts Are the Road Map, and You Build Your Character From There'

13 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Don't judge this weekend's two-part Liftetime movie Everything She Ever Wanted (premiering Saturday) by its cover. As basic-cable pulp goes, the adaptation of Ann Rule's true-crime bestseller is actually some wicked grade-a melodrama with a killer lead performance by Gina Gershon. Literally -- the actress plays the infamous Pat Allanson, a Southern social striver best known for marrying a younger man in pursuit of his family's fortune at whatever cost. A few gun deaths, poisonings and imprisonments later, Pat turns her predatory eye on her own sister (Rachel Blanchard), who may know too much -- or does she? Gershon settles brilliantly into those plot and character ambiguities beneath Allanson's cutthroat, larger-than-life persona.

Movieline caught up with Gershon on her way to a matinee of Bye Bye Birdie (in which she's also currently starring on Broadway) for a chat about true stories, bad girls and what makes a camp classic. »

A Naked 'Twilight' Actress's New Moon And 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' In Today's Twitter-Wood

9 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

When "Twilight" cast members began tweeting about subjects involving missing clothing, I definitely did not expect to log on to Twitter today and find out that Christian Serratos decided to outdo all of them, but but her new garment-less PETA ad definitely succeeded.

Dane Cook and Ice-t, meanwhile, were less focused on saving fur and more intent on playing "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" this weekend, according to their posts, and at least one of them found himself in possession of some nightvision goggles. Check all of that out after the jump along with Danny Masterson's criticism for Andre Agassi, "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich's favorite childhood toy and much more. I'm @brianwarmoth and this is the Twitter-Wood report for November 9, 2009.

Halloween's best TV: Spooky viewing if you're sticking close to home tonight

31 October 2009 10:56 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Maybe you never quite got around to assembling the perfect Peggy Olson costume, and you'd rather stay at home than be seen in last year's Holly Golightly again. Or maybe you'd prefer giving candy to the kiddies to braving the masses of be-costumed drunks. In any case, you need something spooky to watch tonight after dark, and God knows that if you didn't get on the costume thing, you didn't stock up on holiday-appropriate Netflix picks either. Good news: TV is totally on it! AMC concludes its week-long "FearFest" movie marathon with a remastered version of Night of the Living Dead at 8 p. »

Gershon Releasing Kids' Album

31 October 2009 7:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Gina Gershon is testing out her singing skills by releasing an album for children.

The Showgirls star has previously shown off her vocal talent in Broadway musical Cabaret and is currently performing in a New York revival of Bye Bye Birdie, but she's looking to appeal to a much younger audience with the light-hearted The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry.

She says, "I have a children's album coming out in a couple months. As soon as we get over this (Bye Bye Birdie), I'm gonna focus on that. The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry. It's for three year olds. It's very funny." »

Bye Bye Birdie Loses Its Wings

16 October 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

The Broadway revival of musical Bye Bye Birdie has been panned by New York's theatre critics - who have dubbed the John Stamos and Gina Gershon-starring show "boneheaded".

The musical was a huge hit in New York in the 1960s, starring Dick Van Dyke in the lead role - but the new adaptation could be shortlived after a savage reception to Thursday's opening night.

Stamos and Gershon were singled out for particular criticism from the New York Daily News, whose reviewer called them "surprisingly robotic".

The New York Post's Elisabeth Vincentelli added the pair "both look half-paralyzed by stress. Stamos' face is frozen in a strained mask...and Gershon... is at sea as the feisty Rose Alvarez."

New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley, meanwhile, predicted the show will turn audiences off, adding, "Theatergoers may feel an empathetic urge to rush home and bury their heads in their pillows."

Bye Bye Birdie is scheduled to run at the Henry Millers Theatre through to January. »

Don Rickles And Bob Saget Join John Stamos After 'Bye Bye Birdie' Meltdown

16 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Fun times. Earlier this week, the Broadway production of "Bye Bye Birdie" staged its final preview performance. At some point during the show, an electrical malfunction occurred, preventing the sets from changing between scenes. So star John Stamos, a regular contributor to our Twitter-Wood feed, came out onto the stage to stall for time, appealing to his celeb pals in the viewing audience, EW reports.

One of them, legendary comedian and "Toy Story" star (he's Mr. Potato Head) Don Rickles, called for Stamos to get a haircut. The former "Full House" star was then joined on stage by his old pal, filthy comedian Bob Saget, who noted that he was relieved Stamos' forehead was miked, not his crotch. The show resumed after 20 minutes, but not before "Birdie" stars Gina Gershon and Bill Irwin joined the duo for additional onstage antics.

Hit the jump for an awesome picture of Don Rickles being awesome. »

Saget And Rickles Rescue Stamos' Bye Bye Birdie Production

15 October 2009 12:16 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

John Stamos, Bob Saget and legendary comedian Don Rickles came to the rescue on Wednesday when the E.R. actor's Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie was brought to a halt by technical difficulties.

Stamos was performing in the last preview of the musical in New York, before its big opening on Thursday - but the curtain had to come down midway through the show when a piece of scenery fell onto the tracks of the rotating stage, grinding it to a stop.

But instead of leaving the crowd at Henry Miller's Theatre to sit in silence, Stamos brought his former Full House co-star Saget and Rickles up from the audience to perform a last-minute stand up comedy routine as engineers worked furiously to fix the stage.

The trio entertained fans by cracking jokes, while they were also joined on stage by Stamos' theatre co-stars Gina Gershon and Bill Irwin.

The mechanical problem was corrected about 20 minutes later and the stars resumed the show.

Saget and Rickles gave Stamos and the cast of Bye Bye Birdie a standing ovation as they took their bows at the finale as other theatregoers cheered. »

Oh, the joys of live theater. The final preview performance of the Broadway revival of Bye Bye Birdie was halted for about 20 minutes Wednesday night when the electronically controlled set failed to clear during a scene change. The curtain fell on the big-budget musical, which is slated to open Thursday night, and star John Stamos appeared in front of a lights-up auditorium to stall for time as technicians worked backstage. Stamos called out to fellow celebs in the audience, including comedian Don Rickles, who shouted out from his seat to rib the former Full House star to get a haircut. »

The Most Important Film News of All Time

10 October 2009 5:17 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

So what if I'm a few days late catching it. Be patient with me. My week has been a blur of horror... and not of the movie kind. Just pretend you haven't heard this crazy ass news yet and let me scoop my jaw up (before the pole dancing commences)

Showgirls 2?

What ?!? What!?

I'm speechless. Even if Gina Gershon, Paul Verhoeven, Elizabeth Berkeley and Joe Eszterhas aren't involved it's still so... What? Showgirls may be a masterpiece (see previous posts) but it's not the kind of masterpiece that can't use a random 15 years-later bastard sequel from entirely different people.

Except... Penny!

How great is it that Rena Riffel misspells "forward" while preparing to reprise the role of her life. I am filled with joy. Seriously. I'm about to burst from it.

I hope it's the worst movie of all time. And therefore the best.

Gershon: 'Older Men Were Raised Wrong'

6 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Gina Gershon is convinced she can't get a date with a man her age - because 40-something guys are too intimidated to chat her up.

Gershon, 47, has written off men of her generation, insisting they weren't raised to appreciate strong, career-minded women.

She tells the New York Post, "I'm available. Single... But eligible guys are hard to find. I know amazing professional women who can't get guys. Only young ones come on to me. In their 20s, they're emotionally available and more polite. Those my own age don't want strong women. The ones in their 40s were raised wrong."

And until the Showgirls star finds a suitable mate, Gershon is relying on her male cat to screen young suitors.

She explains, "My only male right now is Cleo, my cat. We're together 11 years... Listen, I'm so approachable, so not intimidating, but if I have a man over and Cleo doesn't like him - he's out!" »
