I saw Jim Sheridan's Brothers (Lionsgate, 12.4) a couple of nights ago, and then conducted a brief interview with Sheridan today at Manhattan's Four Seasons and then attended a group press conference (Sheridan, Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Relativity's Ryan Kavanaugh). The ...

Now that Summit Entertainment is looking at weekend New Moon earnings of $145 million or so (based on yesterday's record-breaking $72.7 million haul at 4,024 theaters), maybe they can afford now to make extra DVD screeners of The Hurt Locker and send them out to every Tom, Dick and Harry? You ...

"Finally, I'd like to step out of my pundit shoes for a moment, if I may, and make a bold suggestion: Academy, if you're reading, please consider nominating Fantastic Mr. Fox for best costumes. Where does it say costumes have to be human sized?"-- Vanity Fair.com's Julian Sancton in an 11.18 ...

I know I probably won't ended up looking like this when I'm 79, but I'd like to. Cool, studly, relaxed machismo is worth its weight in gold. The cover photo lies, of course, by favoring the subject, but what photo doesn't lie on some level? Most of them make you look worse....

Baldwin being exceptional in Nancy Meyers' It's Complicated (Universal,
12.25). The vested parties are saying this, of course, with the post-marital comedy expected to start screening for critics ...

Part of the tragedy of New Moon is that it temporarily wraps Kristen Stewart -- the GenY Marlon Brando/James Dean/Montgomery Clift -- in a shroud of mediocrity. I'm not saying that Stewart has mastered her talent completely, but it's inside her, for sure. It's almost nauseating to see her ...

New Moon has earned a fair and appropriate 37% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I'm amazed and almost stunned that EW's Lisa Schwarzbaum, the Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips, the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Colin Calvert , the Washington Post's Michael O'Sulivan and the Philadelphpa Inquirer's Carrie ...

I like Peter Bart's brief 11.19 profile of 34 year-old movie financier and Relativity Media honcho Ryan Kavanaugh more than the also-recent one by Chris Jones in Esquire. I prefer Bart's because he mentions that Kavanaugh is "a moderate drinker [whose] driving is sufficiently erratic to provoke ...

Will Ferrell's track record over the last five years (and particularly the titanic failure of Land of the Lost) has earned him the title of Hollywood's most overpaid actor, according to an intensive survey announced a day or two ago by Forbes.com. The survey is not, in other words, a portrait of ...

This is a peripheral Matt Drudge-like posting and I'm sorry, but as soon as I heard the term "dino-chickens" I was hooked. In my entire life I've never heard this term, and I'm speaking as a guy who once wrote a Roger Corman- or George Pal-type script called Killer Chickens. The size of ...

In lieu of recent reports that seasoned editors Walter Murch and Mark Goldblatt have been hired to try and punch up improve Joe Johnston's The Wolfman (Universal, 2.10), I heard from a guy a day or two ago who recently saw a research screening of the 19th Century-era horror film in Los Angeles, ...

The one thing that's always bothered me about The Hurt Locker. One scene, I mean. Actually a single line of dialogue. A jocular U.S. Colonel (David Morse) asks Jeremy Renner's Sgt. James, a bomb-defusal Jedi, "What's the best way to defuse one of these things?" And Renner answers, ...

There were two screenings yesterday of Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones (Paramount, 12.11 limited) -- an exhibitor screening on the Paramount lot and (according to a friend) a SAG screening at the Landmark Westside Pavillion. I heard some stuff from one guy, and of course (a) it's just one guy ...

Without copping to having seen New Moon (which he clearly has), The Wrap's Dominic Patten has listed six reasons why the Twilight franchise is doomed. Eventually, he means. Sapping of the spirit, downward marketing spiral, tank running dry, etc. One, "nothing happens" in the movies, the ...
