Yes Man (Peyton Reed, 2008)
10am, 8pm, Sky Movies Premiere
Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.
The Golden Compass (Chris Weitz, 2007)
11.40am, 8pm, Sky Movies Family

Captain Pike Beams Into Vulcan's 'Star Trek'

Canadian actor Bruce Greenwood, who plays Captain Christopher Pike in J.J. Abrams Star Trek, is to be a guest at a special screening of the film arranged for the residents of the Alberta town of Vulcan. The advance screening of the film was arranged for 300 residents of Vulcan after the town's tourist board failed in its bid to persuade Paramount let them host the film's world premiere. That has since taken place in Sydney, Australia.
Captain Pike is seen in trailers for Star Trek urging Chris Pine's Kirk to enlist in Starfleet. The character appeared twice in the original series of Star Trek on which the new film is based. Jeffrey Hunter played Pike in the originally unaired first pilot for the series, 'The Cage'. When footage from that pilot was incorporated into the two-part episode 'The Menagerie', a badly disfigured Pike was played by Sean Kenney.

Captain America casting call No15: Paul Walker

The Final candidate in my ongoing, occasional series of casting possibilities for Captain America is Paul Walker.
After modelling and appearing in several TV shows, the 35-year-old got his big break in the 2001 action flick The Fast and The Furious, alongside Vin Diesel.
He went on to appear in both sequels, and has had other film roles including the Clint Eastwood-directed war film Flags of our Fathers in 2006.
The handsome Californian was also in adventure movie Eight Below and the crime drama Running Scared, both in 2006.
Walker has been mentioned in fan discussions online - he has an all-American look and is often regarded as physically well-suited to the role though others doubt he has the acting skills to pull it off.
One factor in his favour is that he's not so well-known that he would be a distraction from the believability of the movie. But on the other

AfterElton Hot 100 Sneak Peek: Paul Walker

It's time to reveal another of the fine fellows who made this year's Hot 100 list and our next winner is someone who isn't a stranger to the poll, but still kinda surprised me in making this year's list: Paul Walker!
Why am I surprised? It's not as if Mr. Walker suddenly became seriously less attractive over the past twelve months. He certainly still makes my Spidey senses tingle.
I'm surprised because so often making a list such as this depends upon how high profile a celebrity has been the previous year. Yes, Walker just starred in the box office hit Fast & Furious, but it wasn't exactly a "gay" movie, nor has the star of pics such as Eight Below and Into the Blue made himself a gay-fave by playing gay roles or taking particularly gay-friendly stances on gay issues such as Jake Gyllenhaal or Sean Penn.
But whatever the reason,
