Ben and Jennifer Have Another Successful Day With Violet
23 December 2009 2:30 PM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Jennifer Garner switched from the casual workout wear she sported earlier in the week into something a little brighter for lunch with friends yesterday at Toscana in La. Elsewhere in the city, Ben Affleck spent the afternoon with Violet. The father-daughter duo paid a visit to the Child Success Center where Violet attended a class despite having the afternoon off from regular school. While other celebrity babies are spending their last days of 2009 bundled up to face the cold, Violet was out sporting sandals in Southern California's mild December weather.

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

Female Lead For ‘Green Lantern’ Down To Five Potentials
23 December 2009 7:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Latino Review has an exclusive look at who might be Carol Ferris, the lucky lady that doesn’t get the ring from Ryan Reynold’s “Hal Jordan” in the upcoming Green Lantern film from DC Entertainment and Warner Bros.
Ferris has been described as “the daughter of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris. She works for her dad’s company Ferris Air, got an Mba, and has a lifetime crush on Hal Jordan.” The website seems to believe that the role comes down to the following five actresses: Eva Green, Keri Russell, Diane Kruger, Blake Lively or Jennifer Garner.
Each of these actresses has had a taste of the action genre (if not a comic book film or two, in Garner’s case) except for Blake Lively. Being from the TV show Gossip Girl and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films, she might be a good choice as there’s no »

The Back-Up trailer

Ever wonder what the hell happened to Jennifer Lopez? A few years ago, she and Ben Affleck were our Brangelina, but then she suddenly dropped off the radar for a long while. Well, it seems she’s spent the last few years meditating and saving up every iota of acting talent she has to put it into The Back-up Plan, a “zany” romantic comedy about a woman who gets pregnant from a sperm bank because she can’t find Mr. Right, only to have Mr. Right show up »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Extract’ Aims Satire at Land of Idiocracy
22 December 2009 8:53 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Mike Judge is fascinated by the culture of stupid. His characters are so desperate to shake up the listless patterns of their lives that they’ll resort to antics far below their normal Iq level. Judge’s third live-action feature is aimed at a generation addicted to smoking pot and watching “Family Guy,” two compulsions often used as an easy escape route from reality.
Joel (Jason Bateman) is dissatisfied with his life at work and at home. All of his problems stem from either boredom or frustration. His wife (Kristen Wiig) is tired of her job designing advertisements on her home computer, and doesn’t respond to her husband’s bedroom advances. Joel’s job as owner of an extract manufacturing plant is in turmoil when an on-the-job accident (brought about irked employees) badly injures one of his workers, whose lawsuit attracts the attention of a gold-digging con artist, »

Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner loves nothing more than gossiping with her gal pals. The Catch Me If You Can actress said she can cope when husband Ben Affleck is away filming as long as she has her girlfriends close, W magazine reported. "I can live with Ben working crazy hours.

The actress also revealed the couple wasted no time when it came to starting a family."We were like, 'Let's have a baby!'" And eight days »
Mike Judge talks 'Extract': Dinner with the 'Beavis and Butt-head' creator
21 December 2009 4:08 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
When I'm offered a dinner with director Mike Judge, there's very little convincing needed.
Not only is Judge responsible for the underrated comedy "Extract" (available on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, Dec. 22) but he's also the sly genius behind Fox's Emmy-winning "King of the Hill," the 1990s iconic cartoon "Beavis and Butt-head" and one of the best workplace comedies of all time, "Office Space."
It was a cool December evening when my fellow reporters and I descended upon Joe's Restaurant in Venice, Calif., where a custom-designed four-course tasting menu with wine pairings awaited us. With the help of champagne, the conversation kicked off with talk of Comic-Con, which Judge said was filled with "very likable nerds."
Speaking of nerds ...
I am one for taking this picture. Yes, I was seated next to Mike Judge. Okay, my name is misspelled, but still -- Mike Judge!
Our humble director probably caught on »

21 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
John Wells' The Company Men will screen at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival as part of the Premieres category.

Celebrity Baby Names: The Best of 2009
21 December 2009 11:48 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This year was notable by a swell of great celebrity baby names, far outweighing the quirky, strange, and downright bad. What were the very best? According to a Nameberry poll of nearly 700 people, the winners are: Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, name of the second daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, for girls. And for boys, Jasper Warren, second son of Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Brad Paisley. Here's how the Nameberry voters ranked the best celebrity baby names. Seraphina Rose Elizabeth was chosen as the Best Celebrity Girls' Name by 45 percent of the voters. The angelic name was a surprise choice after more than a week of waiting for the high-profile couple to announce the name. Jennifer and Ben set a trend with their first daughter's name, Violet, and Seraphina seems poised to follow suit. Helena Grace, name of the newborn »

21 December 2009 2:00 AM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
A "Green Lantern" role could be on the way for 22-year-old Blake Lively. Latino Review has just come out with a scoop that the Serena van der Woodsen of The CW's "Gossip Girl" is one of the five actress being considered to take on the part of Hal Jordan's love interest in the superhero movie.

DVD Playhouse—December 2009
By
Public Enemies (Universal) Johnny Depp portrays legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger in co- writer/director Michael Mann’s take on America’s first “Public Enemy Number One.” Like many big studio releases today, Public Enemies has it all: A-list talent before and behind the camera, but lacks a heart or soul that allows its audience to connect with it. Film plays out like a “true crime” TV show with re-enactments of famous events cast with top actors and shot by the best technicians in the business, with little, if any, character or story development to hold it together in between. A real disappointment from one of our finest filmmakers and finest actors. The lone standout: the great character actor Stephen Lang as a hard-eyed lawman who’s seen a lot, but manages to retain a tiny piece of his heart. For a better take on the same subject, »

19 December 2009 11:35 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
A man has been charged with stalking Hollywood couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. Steven Richard Burky, 37, was arrested on Monday morning at a nursery school attended by the couple’s eldest daughter Violet. He has been charged with two counts of felony stalking and two counts of disobeying a court order. Garner, 37, was granted a restraining order against Burky in November 2008, after telling a judge she feared for the safety of her family. She claimed Burky, from Los Angeles, had been pursuing her since 2002 and was becoming more and more threatening. According to court papers, he once told the actress that ‘God had sent him a vision of her being persecuted »

Mike Judge Discusses Extract Over Dinner
18 December 2009 3:44 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Mike Judge sits in the directors chair on the set of Extract As cliché as it sounds, I have grown up on the work of filmmaker/animator Mike Judge. From his controversial MTV animated series Beavis and Butt-head and the successful Fox animated series King of the Hill to wonderful film classics Office Space and Idiocracy, if I hear the words Mike Judge on any film or TV project, needless to say, I'm on board. So, naturally, I was on board as well when I was invited to head down to Venice, California to Joe's Restaurant (don't let the name fool you - this place is high-class all the way) for dinner and a chat with Judge for his new film Extract, which will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 22. Despite all of his success, Judge still seems surprised about the fervent fandom associated with his work. When »
Ben Presents Violet With a Hairy Situation

Ben Affleck was in charge of picking up Violet from class yesterday. She was preoccupied with her stuffed moose, but that wasn't the only fuzzy thing about their school run - Ben showed off a serious beard. It's just in time to keep Ben's face warm should he and his family be heading to colder climates this holiday season, but for now it seems like they're focusing on matters closer to home. Jennifer's stalker, who was arrested earlier this week for violating a restraining order, is set to face criminal charges and up to four years in jail. View 5 Photos › »
