[Movie Review] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

14 July 2009 11:26 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

As I sat there, an hour and forty-five minutes into the Potter series’ heretofore magnum opus, it was clear to me that director David Yates was crafting a traditional fright show with this next sequence: Harry and Dumbledore have found their way into a place of a clearly diabolical nature, and there hasn’t been a sound in five or six seconds. Suddenly, a skeletal claw grabs Harry’s arm and half the theater jumps out of their seat. Being so completely accustomed to the timing involved in these scenes, I just acknowledged Yates’ command over his audience with a cocky nod and grin, and kept watching intently.

As I sat there, two hours and ten minutes into the Potter series’ heretofore magnum opus, I watched with bated breath for the moment everyone had known was coming for years. Snape stares Dumbledore in the face and says it, and

9 July 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Model-turned-actress Brooke Shields is making a return to movie theatres - she's landed her first major film role in 10 years.

The Blue Lagoon star's acting career has been limited to TV roles in recent years, with appearances in Nip/Tuck, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Two and a Half Men, and the recently axed Lipstick Jungle.

But, fresh from her touching tribute to late pal Michael Jackson at his Los Angeles memorial on Tuesday, Shields has scored a part in comedy Furry Vengeance.

Shields' last mainstream movie role was in 1999's Black and White.

Brooke Shields seeks 'Furry Vengeance'

9 July 2009 2:21 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Okay, so "Lipstick Jungle" didn't exactly turn into a television phenomenon, but that won't keep Brooke Shields off the small or big screen. And honestly, why would it?

Shields is set to join Brendan Fraser, Matt Prokop and Skyler Samuels in Roger Kumble's upcoming family film "Furry Vengeance," a comedy about a developer who's forced to battle local wildlife while building a new housing subdivision in the Oregon wilderness.

Shields will plays Fraser's wife. Dick Van Dyke, Ken Jeong and Samantha Bee are also joining the project.

Besides her appearance on "Jungle," Shields also recently starred in "The Midnight Meat Train." Other credits of hers include "That '70s Show" and "Suddenly Susan."

News Bites: Brooke Shields on the Big Screen & 'Motherhood'

9 July 2009 2:03 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

It looks like Brooke Shields is making her way back to the big screen, and this time she won't be getting saucy in The Blue Lagoon. After a decade away, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Shields has signed onto the live-action comedy Furry Vengeance. Actually, considering the title, it's probably good to note that this is a family film. There's no word on what role she'll play in the Brendan Fraser flick, which follows a real estate developer who gets a hard time from a band of raccoons. One -- What's the obsession with coons lately? Davey Crockett on the brain? Two -- It might be the usual Fraser fair, but the cast does boast Ken Jeong, Samantha Bee, and Dick Van Dyke as well.

Meanwhile, in the shadow of Parenthood heading to the small screen, THR also posts that Freestyle Releasing has picked up Motherhood, and will release it this October.

If it was real, it makes me realize just how skewed our vision of the man was, and how little we got to see of the real him. If it was for show, it makes me realize how surprisingly good Shields is as an actress. We haven.t seen much of Shields on the silver screen lately. Instead she's been a big presence on Broadway and on television. In 2008 she showed up in Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train and now she.s looking to make another move towards more mainstream features in Furry Vengeance.

Furry Vengeance For Dick Van Dyke!

8 July 2009 9:56 PM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

The full cast of family comedy Furry Vengeance has been revealed by The Hollywood Reporter: Brendan Fraser will be joined by Dick Van Dyke, Ken Jeong, Samantha Bee and Brooke Shields!This will be Shields' first movie role (to see the inside of a cinema) for ten years, in a plot that sees her playing Fraser's wife. Fraser himself plays a real-estate agent battling a plague of racoons on some prime real estate. Director Roger Kumble previously made the rather good Cruel Intentions (and its awful Dtv sequel), The Sweetest Thing, and College Road Trip. Frankly, it's hard to get excited. But this sounds kind of like an extended version of the Bill Murray bits from Caddyshack, which could work... Y'know, for kids...

New Moon Premiere Scheduled for Hollywood Knoxville?

7 July 2009 8:44 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

The recent news, courtesy of Knoxville.com, that The Twilight Saga: New Moon will premiere at Tennessee's Pinnacle 18 in Turkey Creek seemed ... well, random. Sure, Jasper was in the Confederate Army. But in Texas. And we don't remember Knoxville being key to the Southern Vampire Wars.

Turns out the Pinnacle 18 has hosted a movie screening benefit for Variety the Children's Charity of Eastern Tennessee each year since 2003. In the past, big stars have attended — Brendan Fraser for Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D last year, and Will Ferrell for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby in 2006. Who will attend for New Moon? That and other key details aren't yet known.

Also unknown is if the Knoxville event is the true premiere, or just an advance screening. We're having a hard time envisioning the full-blown red carpet and paparazzi madness taking place in this shopping center parking lot.
