I have never been happier. For Dynasty - greatest of all 80s soaps - starts tonight
Dynasty in pictures: From Joan Collins's shoulder pads to Michael Praed's pants
I literally could not – wait, let me check myself over . . . yes, I am right – I literally could not be happier. Not if I had a ginger kitten in each pocket and was on my way to a meringue-tasting soiree hosted by George Clooney and Hud-era Paul Newman. Dynasty (CBS Drama) is back. Tonight. Dynasty. Back. Tonight. With the original three-hour premiere, helpfully entitled Oil. Managing not to add an exclamation mark to that was the first and last moment of restraint this most glorious of all the 80s soaps ever showed.
The tone is set from the first scenes, as oil tycoon Blake Carrington is driven in his limousine across his estate and out through his monogrammed electric gates. »

Butch Cassidy Rides Again — and Alone — in Blackthorn
16 November 2009 8:18 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
If someone was ever going to make a sequel to “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (even a “pseudo sequel”), you’d think Hollywood would be all over it. After all, since when has the town been against robbing the graves of a classic for cold hard cash? But before the suits at Lalaland can get their act together, the Spanish have beaten them to the punch. Arcadia Motion Pictures has announced a pseudo sequel to “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, set 15 years after George Roy Hill’s 1969 classic starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, with Butch Cassidy alive and well and hiding out in Bolivia. In the Spanish-funded and produced, but English-language Western “Blackthorn”, Sam Shepard will play the aging Butch Cassidy, who plots to finally return to the good ol USA after 15 years of everyone believing he had bit the bullet at the guns of the Bolivian army as told by legend. »

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

'New Moon' Star Robert Pattinson Wants To Produce As Well As Act
13 November 2009 10:30 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV.Com: When Edward Cullen was 18 years old in 1919, Hollywood superstars Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford came up with the idea for United Artists — a studio that would give actors greater control over which films they got to make and take the creative decisions away from commercial-minded studio execs. When Edward was 68 years old, Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier and Barbra Streisand made waves with their First Artists Production Company, pledging the same actors-first mentality.
Now, Robert Pattinson is determined to mark Edward's upcoming second-century teenage period with a similar endeavor, using his newfound star power to make the kind of movies he wants to see.

John Travolta and Tom Cruise: The next Butch and Sundance?
12 November 2009 3:15 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
John Travolta and Tom Cruise are keen to remake 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'.
The 'Pulp Fiction' actor has been talking to Tom Cruise about the possibility of re-shooting the classic cowboy adventure, which contributed to establishing Paul Newman and Robert Redford as classic Hollywood actors in the titular roles.
John said: "Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' - and there was a rumor that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumor, it's not a bad idea.'"
Tom and John - who are both dedicated members of the bizarre sci-fi cult Scientology - have reportedly already met with scriptwriters and the film may be made by Tom's United Artists Studio.
Tom is said to be keen to take on the role of bank robber Sundance, »

Travolta Excited To Remake Butch Cassidy And It's Our Fault
11 November 2009 10:26 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It was back in April that we first heard rumors of a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid remake happening with Tom Cruise and John Travolta in the lead. We.d heard nothing since so, logically, I assumed that Paul Newman rose from the grave and preemptively murdered everyone involved using his newfound zombie strength. I guess that was a little far-fetched, because it seems the whole thing is back on. But here.s where it gets really sickening. It.s our fault. My fault for reporting the rumor and your fault for being interested enough in the rumor to share it with your friends over Mojitos. Apparently the original rumor wasn.t entirely true at the time, but when it got back to Travolta and Cruise they decided they liked it and now Pop Eater says John Travolta is .excited. about the redo notion. He told Pop Eater, .Someone »
Will a 'Butch Cassidy' Remake be the Fault of Fans?
11 November 2009 9:30 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
They say be careful what you wish for. Case in point: back in April, many media outlets — ourselves included — jumped all over a report that first surfaced at the UK's Daily Express, which stated Tom Cruise was hoping to remake the 1969 classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as a starring vehicle for himself and friend John Travolta.
The plan was for Cruise to star as Sundance, originally played by Robert Redford, and for Travolta to star as Cassidy, the role immortalized by Paul Newman.
In April, we referred to it as "trumped up tomfoolery." Which it most likely was, in retrospect. But, in a classic example of life imitating art...or art aping media rumors...or monkey, see monkey do...or something like that, AOL's PopEater is reporting that Travolta recently heard of the rumor, got excited about it, and is now pushing forward with Cruise to make it happen. »
Newman's Widow Feared Growth Was Cancer
11 November 2009 11:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Paul Newman's grieving widow Joanne Woodward suffered her own cancer scare last month, a year after the movie legend lost his battle with the disease.
The actress recently underwent a biopsy after a medical test reportedly showed she had a growth on her lung.
A source tells the National Enquirer, "A growth was detected and there were fears that she was going to be diagnosed with lung cancer - just like Paul had been.
"She lives with Paul's passing every hour of every single day, and this scare brought back the vivid nightmares of when he was diagnosed and the long battle he had to endure before he died.
"Joanne was facing the possibility that she would be struck down by the same disease as Paul."
Woodward was relieved when the growth was ruled benign, but the stress of the situation has taken its toll on the 79 year old and pals fear for her health after she turned up to a charity gala in Connecticut looking frail.
The insider adds, "She was pale, and her hair was whiter and thinner."
Newman lost his two-year battle with lung cancer in September 2008, at the age of 83.
Both he and his wife were heavy smokers for much of their lives. »
Blu-ray Review: Ultimate 'Cars' Gift Pack
10 November 2009 12:50 PM, PST | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Rounding out a day of high profile Disney/Pixar Blu-ray releases (both Up and Monster's Inc. also released on Blu-ray today) is the Cars Ultimate Gift Pack. Even if you haven't seen Cars, chances are high that you've seen some of the merchandise inspired by it as just about every little boy seemingly has one pair of Lightning McQueen pajamas. Set in a world where vehicles (primarily cars) represent humans, Cars tells the story of an arrogant race car, Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson), that has his eyes only on fame and fortune, nothing else. Before an important championship race, McQueen finds himself lost in a desolate town called Radiator Springs, just off the famous Route 66. From Tow Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) to Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) to Sally (Bonnie Hunt), McQueen encounters many rich characters that he grows to love and the experience completely humbles him »

The Best of Cold War Cinema
9 November 2009 12:30 PM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »
Maybe the reason Betsy Sharkey is feeling nostalgic about Cold War flicks is that the era offered a clear, if flawed, idea that we were the good guys. Regardless, it made for some good movies. The Los Angeles Times critic's faves, by "capricious category": Aliens: With "subtexts rich in what the 'aliens' might be capable of," films like the original Day the Earth Stood Still shine. Also of note is the ghetto freakout Brother From Another Planet (1984). Spies: A toss-up between Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain (1966), with "Paul Newman at his enigmatic best," and Sean Penn's addled druggie-Soviet operative... »
Matt Damon, from private campaigner to Hollywood's biggest star
9 November 2009 1:59 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A clutch of new films will cement Matt Damon's reputation as the hit of his generation. But that won't change this most reserved and politically committed of actors. Vanessa Thorpe reports
Runners taking part in the annual Miami Triathlon this time last year were surprised to spot a familiar face crossing the finishing line. It looked very like Jason Bourne, the implacable, brain-washed hitman, who was coming in with a time of just under an hour for the 6.2 mile leg. In fact Matt Damon, who plays Bourne in the trio of hit films based on Robert Ludlum's character, was competing in an effort to lose some weight. He had gained 30lbs that summer to play the part of the chubby, delusional executive at the centre of The Informant!, Steven Soderbergh's new film.
Its recent premiere in America may well prove the high-water mark of an already illustrious career. »

De Niro to the 7th? (Oscar's Male Hierarchy)
6 November 2009 3:46 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Have you been buying the minor huzz (hype+buzz) 'Robert De Niro's 7th Oscar nomination' for the holiday film Everybody's Fine? My friend txt critic saw it last night and sent the following note by phone...
it's, well, fine. most definitely a drama (despite the trailer) and conceptually a cross between About Schmidt and Four Christmases. nice, sweet and somewhat forgettable.
might, Might be a nomination for DeNiro, but i wouldn't bet on it.I dunno. I wasn't betting on it either but Best Actor sure seems vacant this year with only Colin Firth (A Single Man) and George Clooney (Up in the Air) catching any sort of real fire. As I've been saying for months, Fox Searchlight shouldn't have even hesitated to position Crazy Heart for a 2009 release. Jeff Bridges would have a clear shot at the career trophy given the field (if -- and it's always »
