Streep Nom #9 and Act III: Funny Lady
11 July 2009 9:59 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
Streep at 60: We've been looking at each Meryl Streep Oscar nod and its competition. Previously 78, 79, 81, 82 and 83, 85, 87 and 88
I believe that Meryl Streep's film career can be divided into five chapters or acts (thus far).
Act I (Liberated Lady) 1977-1981Act II (Chamaeleonidae Erotica) 1981-1988Act III (Funny Lady) 1989-1992Act IV (???) 1993-2001Act V (The Great Entertainer) 2002-presentAfter the High Drama years it came as a shock to many when Meryl was suddenly making comedies. Some felt it was a career crisis and there was some backlash going on. This is possibly hard to comprehend for her new young fans but great success always leads to it and many people were sick of Streep's total dominance as the Eighties wound down. It was somewhat common wisdom at the time that her run at the top was ending, having turned 40 in 1989. Several younger stars were coming into their own

Jacko Was Devoted Dad: Carrie Fisher
8 July 2009 7:46 AM, PDT | From newser.com | See recent newser news
Michael Jackson was a very good father, though “he was a child himself,” writes friend Carrie Fisher on her website. His kids “are very well behaved, respectful children, who seemed content in Michael’s company.” And though he may not have been a “conventional” parent, the actress/author writes, “you could see how much he loved them and how much they loved him.” Rather than relying on nannies, Jackson “was devoted to his family and doted on them.” Fisher says she believes he never “did anything untoward to not only his children, but to any other child,” and she scoffs at claims ...

Visit Sorority Row a little earlier...
24 June 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
Originally slated to debut on October 2nd, Summit Entertainment's Sorority Row will now be released to theaters on September 11, 2009.
The new date shift puts the film up against Warner Bros' Whiteout starring Kate Beckinsale, and the animated 9.
The shift (first reported over at Box Office Mojo) was likely due to some steep competition on the October 2nd date, with Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, the new Michael Moore documentary, and the 3D releases of the Toy Story films all vying for theatergoers money.
Sorority Row stars S. Darko’s Briana Evigan, Leah Pipes, From Within’s Rumer Willis and Margo Harshman, Jamie Chung, Audrina Patridge, and Star Wars' Carrie Fisher. Directed by Stewart Hendler from a script by Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg, the new movie is a remake of 1982’s The House On Sorority Row—only this time, instead of accidentally killing their housemother, the girls of

Carrie Fisher's New Film Beau Sick After Sex Scene
24 June 2009 1:05 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
A naked sex scene with Star Wars star Carrie Fisher literally made the actress' White Lightnin' co-star sick - because he'd drank so much champagne.
Edward Hogg, who plays real-life alcoholic dancer Jesco White in the film, admits love scenes with his childhood pin-up were awkward and embarrassing - and he threw up after their final intimate encounter.
The actor explains, "In one of the scenes we shot, which didn't make it in the movie, we pop champagne in the bath together and I had to drink about a half bottle down.
"We did about seven takes, so I'd drunk about three bottles of real champagne by the time we finished the scene. I had to run down the road after that and felt so sick from the champagne that I just threw up."
And when he wasn't being violently sick, Hogg admits he was suffering from chronic embarrassment.
He tells WENN, "I must've seen one of the first three Star Wars movies every Christmas since I was six years old and Carrie was lovely to me; she knew what she was doing.
"I had never shot a love scene before this and they put a sock thing over my naughty bits and stuck it with gaffer tape. It was so embarrassing because I felt like I had this terrible skin graft across my area, not an attractive thing. It felt horrendous."

He’s Just Not That Into You – DVD

DVD Review
He’s Just Not That Into You
Directed by: Ken Kwapis
Cast: Ginnifer Goodwin, Justin Long, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Ben Afflleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Kevin Connolly
Time: 2 hrs, 3 minutes
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: June 2, 2009
Plot: Many adults are falling in and out of love in this ensemble flick. Gigi (Goodwin) is a blind idealist, Neil (Affleck) never wants to marry, and Anna (Johansson) doesn’t mind going after a married man. They’re all looking for what makes them happy, and of course, love has many different meaning.
Who’s It For? This is a poor man’s version of When Harry Met Sally and Love Acutally. That’s good company even if it can’t hit the level of either of those two films. You’ll find someone to identify with in this romantic dramedy.

Dolly Parton, Stockard Channing and Elton John took the stage, as well as Bret Michaels who injured himself during the big opening number.

Sigourney Weaver's Ripley named top woman in sci-fi
8 June 2009 2:28 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news
Sigourney Weaver'S iconic character Ellen Ripley from the Alien film series has been named the top female in science fiction.
She topped a list of The 25 Women Who Shook Sci-Fi compiled by Totalscifionline.com, with Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Buffy Summers, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, in second place, and Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) third.
From the comic book world, the list features the movie portrayals of Storm and Catwoman and Lynda Carter's iconic 70s TV version of Wonder Woman.
Ripley first appeared in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979), emerging as the sole survivor of the Nostromo's encounter with an acid-blooded xenomorph. The character was originally written as a male role before 20th Century Fox executive Alan Ladd Jr suggested they change the gender to make the protagonist stand out.
Matt McAllister, editor of Totalscifionline.com said: "Ripley is one of cinema's seminal characters. She is strong,
