20 Film Stars You Definitely Won’t Remember In 20 Years
24 April 2013 4:09 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In 20 years time, we’re probably not going to remember 84% of the film stars polluting Hollywood at the moment, let’s be honest. The Adam Sandlers and the Robert Downey Juniors are safe, they have a backing with many established films under their belts.
But there are numerous stars out there who are simply place holders, with nothing special marking them out. If you think about it, there are so many people out there with a pretty face or a good body, but only a small handful will be remembered. Most of them will die off in a couple of years.
It’s not that I’m bitter though. Sure, I’d like to look like Channing Tatum, or earn thousands of pennies for starring in a massive franchise like Twilight. It’s the truth. So many film stars in the movies nowadays are just your flavour of the month. »

8 Best In Character Movie Cameos
21 April 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
This one is a bit hard to define. We all know what a movie cameo is. A famous person who you weren’t expecting (hard to fathom in today’s spoiler world) shows up in a movie adding a bit of surprise, and spontaneity to the proceedings. Its almost always a meant to be a joke, as most people who cameo in films are usually doing it to have a little fun (or as a favor to the director). Very rarely do you see cameos that have any real barring on the story. The only example I can think of comes from the movie Sunset Blvd. That movie is positively chocked full of cameos but its not at all for fun. Each surprise appearance is strictly to provide specific character and overall narrative development.
Besides that (and maybe an example from Robert Altman’s The Player) cameos are strictly still known as a joking affair. »

George of the Jungle
19 April 2013 1:31 AM, PDT | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »
Brendan Fraser plays a Tarzan-like jungle-dweller, raised by gorillas, who rescues an heiress (Leslie Mann) from a lion and returns with her to San Francisco. Fraser is a delight as the oddball who swings into the trees rather than round them in the movie that deservedly finally made him a star. This entertaining Disney jungle farce is an old-fashioned delight, as a very decent cast try to out-grimace each other under director Sam Weisman's evident orders to go as far over the top as possible to win the laughs. »

Justin Long grew up watching and loving Woody Allen movies, so it’s no surprise that he absorbed the line from 1989′s Crimes and Misdemeanors, that “Comedy is tragedy, plus time.” When Long and Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers) were simultaneously recovering from painful romantic breakups several years ago, they channeled their pain into the romantic-comedy script that became A Case of You, which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival this Sunday.
Long stars as Sam, a shy New York writer who develops a crush on Birdie (Evan Rachel Wood), the quirky barista at his local coffee stop. When his »
