Sorvino Welcomes Son After Difficult Nine Months

14 July 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Oscar winner Mira Sorvino has given birth to her third child - after a traumatic pregnancy.

The actress and husband Christopher Backus welcomed little Holden into the world last month, but she admits that carrying a baby for the third time was anything but easy.

Sorvino was diagnosed with placenta previa, meaning she had to be hospitalised for nine weeks before the baby was even born, and was ordered to remain completely bed-ridden - meaning she couldn't care for her other kids, four year old Mattea and Johnny, three.

She explains, "I developed a blood clot due to all the inactivity and had to be anti-coagulated for months to prevent a pulmonary embolism. I spent another two-and-a-half weeks at the hospital, during which time, missing the children and my husband and knowing what the separation was doing to the kids became almost unbearable."

But the star insists the pain was all worth it: "As soon as they placed him in my arms I knew it had all been worth it. He is my miracle baby. With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed: perfectly healthy, beautiful and wonderful!"

Release Date: June 26, 2009

Click here to read Nick Allen’s complete Scorecard Review of Whatever Works

Plot: Boris (David) is a self-declared genius who complains about society to no end. Melody (Wood) is a Southern belle who comes along and somehow falls for the man. These opposites attract, at least until her mother (Clarkson) shows up.

Who’s It For? Fans of classic Woody Allen films and people who love Larry David. That’s the whole list.

Overall

Allen wrote this film in the 70s. It feels like it. This is classic Allen, with Boris talking right to the camera to start it off. If you’ve laughed with Allen before, you’ll be in good hands with David stepping into the lead role. It

26 May 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news

Who doesn.t love a treasure hunt, especially when it is attached to a mythic group or has a deep and perplexing mystery surrounding it? There are words that conjure visions of hidden wealth and ancient curses, but perhaps none of them are as compelling as the legend of the Knights Templar. Watching The Last Templar miniseries on television was an event! Rarely do audiences these days have a production of this caliber appear on network television! It was so good, and enjoyable, exciting, and fun, it will be a welcome addition to any action adventure dvd collection.

Titillating the Taste Buds at the 12th Sonoma Film Festival

6 April 2009 | From ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news

- This past weekend I had the chance to attend one of the more beautiful settings for a film fest. The Sonoma Film Festival offers such a splendid backdrop that makes it difficult to trade it, and the tasty food and delicious wines donated by local restaurants and wineries in for, a darkened environment to watch a slate of films. With exceptions such as the Korean film "Story of Wine" which almost feels tailor made for the festival, the festival's film selections feels catered towards a local, discerning audience who probably take their movies as seriously as they do about making wine. The friendly and patient audience had a chance to indulge in a selection of local shorts, international features and the highlight of the 12th festival edition was a tribute to Hollywood legend Bruce Willis would have preferred to be honoured as a great "Line Memorizer" rather than accepting

Guillermo del Toro Readies 'Mimic' Director's Cut

1 April 2009 5:23 AM, PDT | From ESplatter.com | See recent ESplatter news

I thought this guy was already busy enough already! Guillermo del Toro has found time between readying "The Hobbit" and his enormous H.P. Lovecraft movie to put together a "director's cut" of his 1990s Mira Sorvino creature feature "Mimic". TwitchFilm scored this early DVD artwork for the release. Del Toro wasn't able to make the movie he originally wanted when Dimension tapped him to direct the film the first time around. Now, however, he's such a huge name that he was able to get his final cut 12 years after the original release. As reported at Twitch: Hot on the heals of the news that Guillermo Del Toro’s first feature Cronos was being re-released on DVD by none other than the Criterion collection word came, and a purdy picture as well that Del Toro’s first Hollywood film, the much maligned Mimic was slithering up from the sewers in the
