Jamie Lee Curtis: Angelina Jolie is a 'heroine'
14 May 2013 10:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Jamie Lee Curtis thinks Angelina Jolie is a 'heroine' for going public about her preventative double mastectomy. The 54-year-old actress has echoed supportive comments made by high profile breast cancer survivors Sheryl Crow, Kylie Minogue and Giuliana Rancic, and praised 'The Tourist' star, 37, for opening up about her drastic decision to have both of her breasts removed to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer after managing to go through the surgery in private. In an opinion piece for the Huffington Post, titled 'Freedom of Choice, Freedom of Privacy', Jamie wrote: 'Ms. Jolie is a heroine to many. Me included. 'She is brave and bold and challenging. She challenges the world with her thoughts and »
Jamie Lee Curtis Praises "Heroine" Angelina Jolie for Double Mastectomy Decision
14 May 2013 3:24 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is echoing Brad Pitt's response (and many others) to Angelina Jolie's decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy. The celeb wrote a piece for Huffington Post, titled "Freedom of Choice, Freedom of Privacy," where she not only praises the star's bravery to undergo the procedure, but her ability to do it in private. "Ms. Jolie is a heroine to many. Me included," she wrote, adding that, "She is brave and bold and challenging. She challenges the world with her thoughts and actions and deeds. She tells stories that have meaning. She walks the walk, talks the talk and does so with jaw dropping beauty and admirable and seemingly effortless »
My inspiration for The Liability: Cohen and Tate and its brilliant screenwriter
14 May 2013 4:44 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A British hitman movie, starring Tim Roth, owes a debt to a little-known 1980s Us noir thriller, superbly crafted by Eric Red, which deserves to be better known
Twenty years ago, when I first started reading credits of movies I loved to see who'd written the screenplay, one name leapt out at me: Eric Red. In the space of three years in the late 1980s he wrote the terrifying Rutger Hauer road movie The Hitcher and two brilliant genre movies for a young director called Kathryn Bigelow: the trailer-trash vampire movie Near Dark, and Blue Steel, a feminist cop movie with Jamie Lee Curtis as a rookie up against an amorous serial killer. The first two of those have gone on to become bona fide cult classics. But Red remains little known – as does the film of his I really loved, one he wrote and directed in 1988, Cohen and Tate. »

Life gets a little woof for pampered Californian pooch Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore) when her visit to Mexico is ruined by dognappers. But while her Chihuahuan suitor leads the human search party, Chloe finds plenty of other four-legged friends to keep her out of harm’s way. Piper Perabo and Jamie Lee Curtis are seen but stars like Andy Garcia and Placido Domingo are only heard as Lady and the Tramp goes Latino in this barking Disney adventure. »
Lindsay Lohan gives interview to Piers Morgan: 'I've never been a huge drinker'
6 May 2013 10:13 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Lindsay Lohan has a few more confessions from a broken heart.
Before — finally – checking herself into court-mandated rehab for 90 days, Lindsay Lohan sat down with Piers Morgan for a Q&A just published in the U.K.’s Daily Mail. There’s nothing fans or critics haven’t heard before about how or why her life got so off track (she hits on sad but well-worn topics such as her dad selling a recording of her complaining about her mom, the stolen necklace she says was a misunderstanding, and how everyone — even court judges — “believe the rumors”), but it is »

High Impact, Low Body Count: Movie Killers Who Put Quality Over Quantity
3 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Typically, horror fans go crazy for fright flicks with a body count totaling in the double digits, or higher. Case in point, Dawn of the Dead has a reported death toll of 175; Army of Darkness has an estimated 107 total kills (both statistics from moviebodycounts.com); and both films are tried and true fan favorites for their liberal use of violence as well as countless other reasons. We enthusiastically commend George Romero and Sam Raimi for offering up a staggering body counts in these and many of their other films. We frequently pay tribute to horror films and horror killers that rack up above average kill counts, but it’s rare that we make a point to recognize characters that made a major impact on us without incurring a massive death toll. With that said, we have elected to take the opportunity to spotlight some killers and their corresponding films that »

Before Jason Collins, There Was Glenn Burke, And A Film Based On His Life Is In Development
30 April 2013 1:33 PM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
As I'm sure everyone has heard by now, Jason Collins, a 12-year NBA veteran, announced he is gay in a first-person essay for Sports Illustrated that appeared online yesterday, Monday. Coverage of Collins' revelation has been quite extensive over the last 24 hours, and continues to be so, as some are hoping that all this fervor will translate into interest in a film project on the life of another openly gay athlete from yesteryear. Deadline reports that Jamie Lee Curtis and Juma Entertainment are hoping all the attention to Collins' news will help push forward a film she's apparently been trying to get made for years, on Major League Baseball player, Glenn Burke (photo »

Will Gay Hoopster Revelation Drive Home Jamie Lee Curtis-Produced Pic About First Openly Gay Baseball Player?
30 April 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Long before veteran hoops player Jason Collins made a groundbreaking announcement this week that he is a gay athlete, there was former Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A’s 70s phenom outfielder Glenn Burke. Burke, who right up front made his teammates and team management aware he was gay, back when this was really taboo. Post-retirement, he became the first baseball player to come out publicly, during a Today Show interview with Bryant Gumbel in 1982. Jamie Lee Curtis and Juma Entertainment are hoping the attention being paid to Collins will provide momentum for a story she has been trying for years to tell about Burke, based on Out At Home: The Glenn Burke Story, the autobiography written by Burke with Erik Sherman. Drafted by the Dodgers and touted as a potential star, Burke got off to a flying start when he became the only rookie to start in the 1977 World Series. »

Exclusive Modern Masters of Horror Interview Series: In-Depth with John Carpenter
29 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
John Carpenter has been making films for longer than you have been living. Do the math. His post college career, alone, is probably longer than your lifespan.
A seminal director and one of the foremost experts in the Horror genre, John Carpenter is often credited with popularizing the concept of the slasher flick. With a distinct eye for talent, Carpenter has helped launch the careers of names such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Kurt Russell.
Despite an illustrious career and a reputation that has already stood the test of time, Mr. Carpenter has a surprisingly simple outlook on the way he makes films. He’s the type of guy that does not like to over-complicate things. For him, the entire process of filmmaking comes back to one, essential element: the story.
Beyond being a filmmaker, beyond being a director, John Carpenter primarily sees himself as a storyteller. Whether it’s an escaped, »

Top Ten: Non-Nominated Best Supporting Actresses, 1980s Division
23 April 2013 8:30 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Whew. That title is a mouthful. I know you already know what I mean though, you golden fiends. This very impromptu post is brought to you by a recent Tribeca revival screening of Martin Scorsese's indelible King of Comedy (1983) and this Movie Line interview with Sandra Bernhard herself -- to whom I'm dedicating the list -- who couldn't make it but definitely helped make the movie what it is. My one and only back and forth conversation with Sandra -- over Twitter, the sometimes leveler -- involved how freaking robbed she was for an Oscar nomination for that movie. I couldn't believe I was talking to her but I was not the least bit in doubt that she'd agree with me.

Ciara Pays Impressive Tribute to True Lies in ‘Body Party’
23 April 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Ciara channels Jamie Lee Curtis in the music video for "Body Party" — where a "That's the Way Love Goes"-style party gets weird when Ciara and Future (her real boyfriend!) meet-cute by the pool and he predicts their ... future. Turns out it's a scene from 1994 action movie True Lies, but with Ciara as Curtis in that famous stripping scene. Future's no Arnold, but he's already got magical fortune-telling powers, so who are we to judge?And for the original True Lies scene? The one where Jamie Lee Curtis unknowingly strips for her embarrassed husband Arnold Schwarzenegger? If you recall, it's totally sexy, but there's a bit more humor in Curtis's inexperienced dancing. But to be honest, Ciara wins because Ludacris was there. (And True Lies gets pretty messy after this scene, anyhow.) »

These iconic horror stars - one a villain, the other a heroine - appeared together early in their careers. In fact, this 1977 episode of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries was one of the first acting gigs for each of them. Englund plays Gar, and Curtis plays Mary, a couple of no-good motorcycle carnies. They first appear at around the five-minute mark in this episode.

Back For More?

Will Seth MacFarlane host the 2014 Oscars? According to a new report from Just Jared, MacFarlane was asked to return as emcee of the Academy Awards by producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. The duo, who tapped MacFarlane for the 2013 Oscars, was brought back on as Academy Awards producers on Tuesday.
HuffPost Entertainment reached out to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for comment on the MacFarlane rumor; as yet, the organization has not responded.
MacFarlane's first effort as Oscars host was a mixed bag. The broadcast was watched by over 40 million people (making it the highest-rated entertainment awards show in three years), but MacFarlane was criticized for sexist and misogynistic material. The "Family Guy" creator was admonished for one routine in particular: "We Saw Your Boobs," which highlighted films in which the lead actresses took off their clothes. Three of the actresses mentioned (Jodie Foster, Charlize Theron and »
