Jason Spevak (r.), Michael Sheen and Toni Collette hit the road in Jesus Henry Christ.
The offbeat 2012 comedy film Jesus Henry Christ was written and directed by Dennis Lee and executive produced by Julia Roberts.
The film revolves around 10-year-old boy genius Henry James Herman (Jason Spevak, Sunshine Cleaning) and his fervently left-wing single mother Patricia (Toni Collette, Velvet Goldmine), who works at the local university’s cafeteria. A misfit from birth, Henry’s precocious, rabble-rousing ways catch up with him when he gets kicked out of school for writing “Manifestos on the Nature of Truth.” Meanwhile, 12-year-old Audrey (Samantha Weinstein, The Rocker) has her own problems because of her single father, university professor Dr. Slavkin O’Hara (Michael Sheen, Beautiful Boy), who used her as the test subject for his best-selling book “Born Gay or Made that Way?” When Henry »

Will Smith admits his son wanted him to do a 'Bad Boys' sequel before 'Men in Black 3'

There are only a few actors who can charm any room they walk into. Having worked in the industry for years, I've seen it first hand. You may dislike their movie, performance or find their personal life distasteful, but somehow they have a natural charisma that has helped turn them survive the ups and downs of superstardom. Currently, that list includes names such as, yes, John Travolta, George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey, Jr., Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Will Smith. Among those eight actors only one has found themselves on the cinematic sidelines for the past three years. »

Jim Parsons Gay / Harvey / The Normal Heart
24 May 2012 9:42 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jim Parsons gay? Well, as per the New York Times, yes, the Big Bang Theory actor "is gay and in a 10-year relationship." No more details are given out. No explanations as to why the Times made a point of outing Parsons, who says nothing about his private life or sexual orientation during an interview focusing on a Broadway revival of Harvey in which Parsons stars in the old James Stewart movie role of the, huh, eccentric bachelor whose pal is a big rabbit (Harvey) that only he can see. In addition to his stage work, the Houston-born, 39-year-old Parsons has been seen in movies and on television since 2002. His TV breakthrough was, of course, The Big Bang Theory, which has earned him two Emmys and a Golden Globe. On the big screen, Jim Parsons hasn’t made much of a mark yet, as he has almost invariably been cast in minor supporting roles. »

'The Intouchables' Review: Feel-Good French Import Condescends
24 May 2012 12:41 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Not since Julia Roberts has a movie star had a smile so wide and so ingratiating as Omar Sy, the likable lead of "The Intouchables." When this French actor smiles, between his white teeth glistening and the edges of his eyes crinkling, his face lights up with the bright wattage of the Las Vegas strip. Sy is one of the costars of "The Intouchables," a French comic drama that has been a huge commercial hit in its native country. Sy won a César award (the Gallic Oscar equivalent) for his performance »

Julia Roberts And Amy Smart Honoured For Eco Accomplishments
24 May 2012 1:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Julia Roberts and Amy Smart were honoured for their environmental accomplishments at a star-studded gala in Santa Monica, California last week (begs14May12).
Smart and the Pretty Woman star, along with her husband Danny Moder, were feted by fellow eco activists, including actors Peter Fonda and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, at Heal the Bay's annual Bring Back the Beach gala on Friday.
Together the crowd raised funds to help promote awareness about protecting the marine animals of Santa Monica Bay home, and The Butterfly Effect beauty Smart was thrilled to be recognised for her years of hard work.
She tells local publication Los Angeles Confidential, "I'm extremely grateful and honoured. I highly respect and love Heal the Bay; their work is so effective, far-reaching, and impactful on the ocean. Growing up in Topanga Canyon (in California), being in the mountains and surrounded by nature inspired me.
"My parents always loved nature, and that inspired my brother and me. Growing up I was always aware of the environment (through) beach clean-ups, hikes, and bike rides in the canyon. Right out of high school I wanted to get involved and saw Heal the Bay posters around. That was my first venture into environmental work when I was 18." »

Rhys Ifans Camped Out While Shooting Notting Hill
23 May 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Welsh movie star Rhys Ifans camped out in a tent near Shepperton Studios in England while filming Notting Hill - so he could avoid a long, complicated commute to work.
The actor couldn't be bothered getting up early and trekking to the set - to play Hugh Grant's slovenly flatmate, so be bought a tent and a sleeping bag and slept at a campsite minutes from the film mecca.
He tells Playboy magazine, "We were filming at Shepperton, a studio that can take several nightmarish hours to get to and from. I thought, 'How am I going to get around this torturous journey?'
"So I got a tent and a sleeping bag and camped near the studio, which sort of helped the whole unkemptness of the character."
And Ifans famously didn't shower or brush his teeth during filming - so he'd really become the unhygienic character he was playing opposite Grant and Julia Roberts.
He adds, "Julia never saw me as I normally look so she probably thought I was some guy they found in the street."
But he still arrived in style for work every day.
The Welshman explains, "Due to insurance and liability issues, a limo still had to show up to drive me to the studio. So every day this guy who owned the campsite would watch me walk across the field, get into a limo and be driven away." »
‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton
23 May 2012 7:05 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Directed by: Peter Hedges
Starring: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Cj Adams
Rating: PG
Release Date: August 15, 2012
Trailer Score: 8/10
Thoughts by Tsr: When the first trailer for The Odd Life of Timothy Green was released I was mostly won over by the charm of its two stars, Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton. This offers much of the same, but overall it sells me on the film even more. I doubt it will be the type of film I’ll frequently revisit for years to come, but it looks like a sweet bit of counter-programming to wrap up the summer movie season.
The chemistry of Garner and Edgerton still shines, but here we get to see a bit more of the moppet who comes from the garden and into their lives. And you know what? Despite my tendency to not have much tolerance for most child actors, »

Disney Pulls Plug On Order Of The Seven
22 May 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Perhaps Disney execs felt two Snow White reboots, Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, and Mirror Mirror, starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, were two Snow White adaptations too many. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed today that Disney halted production on their revisionist Snow White tale Order Of The Seven, previously known as Snow and the Seven. Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt, Jayson Rothwell, Michael DeBruyn, Scott Moore, Jon Lucas, Scott Elder and Michael Chabon all worked on various drafts of the script about Snow White's dwarves reinterpreted as warriors from an ancient order who help an Englishwoman battle an ancient evil in 19th century China. »
Deborah Kerr: Sexual Outlaw
22 May 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr, The King and I Deborah Kerr Pt.1: What Lies Beneath True, you most likely won’t find Deborah Kerr labeled a sex goddess anywhere, but that’s merely because her sexual allure, apart from the beach scene in From Here to Eternity, was hardly obvious. Unlike overgrown little girls such as Marilyn Monroe, Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Jayne Mansfield, or Brigitte Bardot, Kerr looked and acted like a mature woman even in her 20s. In other words, there was nothing kittenish about Deborah Kerr; she didn’t pout. Unlike Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich, Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau, Lizabeth Scott, or Susan Sarandon, Kerr’s seething sensuality had nothing to do with sultriness, come-hither looks, or bare body parts. Unlike Simone Simon, Jane Greer, the latter-day Barbara Stanwyck, and other (French or American) film noir dames, or Theda Bara and assorted film »

Rupert Everett To Direct And Star In Oscar Wilde Biopic
22 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
British thespian Rupert Everett may be best-known Stateside as Julia Roberts' gay best friend in the classic romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding. But despite his scene-stealing screen presence, Everett never scored the leading man heights he'd hoped for. In 2009, he stated publically that he feels his movie career was stifled because he's an openly gay actor. Perhaps experiencing this prejudice is what has drawn him to the life story of legendary wit and heralded writer Oscar Wilde, whose life was irrevocably marred when he was prosecuted for sodomy and gross indecency.1890s legalese for being gay. Everett is looking to bring Wilde's life and struggle to the big screen, writing and directing a biopic in which he'll star called The Happy Prince. The film will begin with the tragic final chapter of the author's life, following the harsh prison sentence of two years of hard labor that »

Kristen Stewart Hot: Snow White Premiere

Kristen Stewart becomes a sultry vampire in the last Twilight movie, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. How sultry? How vampiresque? Just check out the Kristen Stewart photo on the right, taken at the Snow White and the Huntsman World Premiere held in London earlier this week. The Kristen Stewart dress is described as a "Gothic lace Marchesa" in The Hollywood Reporter. And whether or not you care for how celebrities dress (and I couldn’t give a damn), Stewart’s garment was a memorable fashion statement. The makeup has no description that I’ve seen, but it’s, huh, a memorable makeup statement all the same. As part of the Snow White and the Huntsman promo, the Swath team also posed for pictures at the Arundel Castle in West Sussex, England. Snow White (Kristen Stewart) showed up in a miniskirt, accompanied by the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron), the cleaned-up »

Movie Preview: Snow White And The Huntsman (2012)
17 May 2012 8:39 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
It seems Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart have something in common. They both like portraying characters that pack a punch. This movie is not quite like the fairy tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) or Mirror Mirror (2012) with Julia Roberts. Charlize Theron portrays the evil Queen, Ravenna, a somewhat aggressive woman. Kristen Stewart is cast as Snow White. There are very few people who don't know the original story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), therefore, it really doesn't need to be told in great detail here. Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) is an action packed fantasy about an evil Queen with a huge ego. She can't help looking in mirrors. "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?" Christopher Obi is the voice of the magic mirror and tells the Queen that Snow White is going to be the fairest of them all and will also rule the kingdom. »

The Four New TV Shows We Can't Wait To See
16 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
With the big reveal of CBS' 2012-2013 primetime schedule, all of the major networks have revealed which of their current shows will be back in the fall and which ones are being sent to the television graveyard as well as which pilots will be premiering this fall.
We have to say, we're pretty pleased with how things panned out. After a tense, touch-and-go couple of days "Parks and Recreation" and "Happy Endings" got their expected pick-ups, and favorites "Modern Family" and "30 Rock," albeit for a truncated final season, will also be back when the leaves start to turn.
(We're not exactly in love with the idea of two cycles of "The Voice" – part of that show's appeal was that it was neither overextended nor played out and a non-stop, yearlong run puts that in danger – but we'll deal.)
We've also got Louis C.K.'s brilliant "Louie" returning to FX in June, »
