TV Review: HBO’s Disappointing ‘Hemingway & Gellhorn’ with Clive Owen, Nicole Kidman
10 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It pains me to say this — HBO’s “Hemingway & Gellhorn” is a complete mess, a film littered with awful directorial decisions, built on a misguided screenplay, and featuring performances that range from mediocre to downright horrendous. I’m as big a cheerleader for HBO and their line of original films as you’re likely to find but this is one of the worst.
TV Rating: 1.5/5.0
It’s not merely that I so often love what HBO delivers (their current Sunday line-up of “Game of Thrones,” “Girls,” and “Veep” is one of the best two-hour blocks of television in years) but that the cast, crew, and subject matter of this 154-minute epic seems tailor made for me. I would say that Ernest Hemingway’s work is one of the reasons that I became an English major in college and that director Philip Kaufman’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” helped make me a film nut. »

23 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | People - CelebrityBabies | See recent People - CelebrityBabies news »
It’s not every day that actors make their on-screen debut alongside Jennifer Lopez. But that’s exactly what happened to 2-year-old twins Samuel and Asher, who play the son Lopez and Rodrigo Santoro adopt in What to Expect When You’re Expecting, currently in theaters.
“Sammy was the first one to cuddle up to Jennifer,” says the boys’ father Kindred Howard, who, along with his wife Meredith, adopted Samuel and Asher from Ethiopia with the help of the charitable Gift of Adoption Fund.
“I thought, ‘He just weaseled his way into the top spot.’ There were times when I »

New Photos: Nicole Kidman & Clive Owen In 'Hemingway & Gellhorn'
23 May 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It's a shame Park Chan-wook couldn't get his English-language debut "Stoker" ready in time for Cannes but his leading lady, Nicole Kidman, has still managed to have two films appear on the Croisette this year. While everyone's been talking up her role in "The Paperboy," Kidman also stars opposite Clive Owen in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn" which premieres there before airing next week on the cable channel.
The film follows the relationship between journalist Gelhorn and her writer husband Hemingway, from when they first met in a Florida bar in 1936 through to their divorce in 1945. The pair traveled to Spain together during the Spanish Civil War before marrying in 1940, but their relationship became strained. Gellhorn was the only one of his wives to ask Hemingway for a divorce, and later inspired him to write his novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls."

Despite the subject matter of the film, the cast of What To Expect When You're Expecting are sufficiently slim and glamorous that one cannot quite associate them with buns in the oven or, indeed, buns of any kind. Certainly, at the London premiere last night everyone was on top form.In attendance were Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison, who play a couple brought together on a Strictly Come Dancing-style show (judged by Cheryl Cole, also in attendance); Chace Crawford and Anna Kendrick, food-truck workers who strike up an initially casual romance, and Rodrigo Santoro, who plays husband to Jennifer Lopez's photographer and would-be adoptive mother. brightcove.createExperiences();What To Expect When You're Expecting also stars Elizabeth Banks, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Joe Manganiello, Thomas Lennon and Ben Falcone.

London — The stars of the romantic comedy "What to Expect When You're Expecting" had plenty of praise for each other – and a warning about making out on the hood of a car – during the film's British premiere in London on Tuesday.
Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford and Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick and Rodrigo Santoro were among the actors who walked the red carpet at the British Film Institute's IMAX theater.
The film – inspired by the bestselling book by Heidi Murkoff, and also featuring Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Cheryl Cole and Chris Rock – looks at love through the eyes of five interconnected couples as they experience pregnancy and childbirth.
Kendrick and Crawford were one of the couples with some steamy moments in the film. But the reality wasn't quite that great, Kendrick said.
"The scene where we kind of make out on the hood of a car, it all looks pretty sexy and cool and fun, »

22 May 2012 2:20 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Cameron Diaz and several of her What to Expect When You're Expecting costars hit the red carpet in London today to bring the romantic comedy to England. Cameron sported a sexy, strapless Stella McCartney jumpsuit for the British unveiling of the film. She's been busy promoting the adaptation of the best-selling book in the States for several weeks already. Cameron stopped by Chelsea Lately to dish on her own feelings about family and motherhood, and also teamed up with her costar Jennifer Lopez to pay a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Jennifer had to skip the overseas trip this week and stay put in La for the finale episodes of American Idol, which air tonight and tomorrow. While Jennifer missed out on today's festivities, Anna Kendrick, in Christian Dior, and Chace Crawford, who play a couple in the movie, were on hand. So were Matthew Morrison, Cameron's love interest in the movie, »

Cameron Diaz Praises Cheryl Cole's Acting... Sort Of
22 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cameron Diaz was asked what she thought of Cheryl Cole's performance in the forthcoming rom-com, What To Expect When You're Expecting.
Diaz, a mistress of diplomacy, commented, "I think she did a great job playing herself... awesome actress." Ouch!
However, it was clear the A-lister had a lot of time for the X Factor presenter who was making her screen debut (not including St Trinians 2007) in a cameo role as a talent show judge.
"She brought energy, lots of fun to the set," she added. "We had a blast."
And in a stout defence of her co-star and the problems she had stateside last year, being unceremoniously booted off Us X Factor by Simon Cowell after reports that test audiences didn't like her accent, Diaz added, "I understood everything she said."

Video: Rodrigo Santoro On What To Expect Movie Being More Macho Than Chick-Flick

Rodrigo Santoro may be starring in a film about pregnancy and parenthood, but the Brazilian papi chulo sells the movie as a film men can enjoy more than just your average chick flick.
Rodrigo Santoro stars as Jennifer Lopez on-screen husband Alex in What To Expect When you're Expecting in the comedy surrounding his character's anxiety over adopting a child and becoming a parent. In the film, Alex joins a "dude" group of full-time fathers for support, but the experience may not what he's looking for to convince him to go ahead with the adoption.

[Review] What to Expect When You’re Expecting
21 May 2012 5:19 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In their hit song, “Hey Jealousy,” the Gin Blossoms suggest that if “you don’t expect too much from me, you might not get let down.” I admit I approached What to Expect When Your Expecting with that attitude and was pleasantly surprised. A departure from the brainless star-studded ensemble of recent Garry Marshall (Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve), this is not exactly cinematically nutritious but a pleasant-enough cupcake.
The interlocked, primarily Atlanta-based couples the film follows include Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) owner of an upscale baby boutique with husband Gary (Ben Falcone), Gary’s father (Dennis Quaid) and his much younger wife Skyler (Brooklyn Decker), two young food truck-owners Marco (Chace Crawford) and Rosie (Anna Kendrick) the star of a Biggest Loser-type of reality show Jules (Cameron Diaz) and her partner from a Dancing with the Stars-type show Evan (Matthew Morrison), a freelance photographer Holly (Jennifer Lopez »

Brooklyn Decker Box Office: Battleship Tanks, What To Expect Below Expectations
19 May 2012 8:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Battleship: Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch Brooklyn Decker has two box-office disappointments opening on the same weekend: Decker is featured in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Both movies opened way below expectations on Friday; in fact, official studio estimates released Saturday morning have them faring even worse than Friday night estimates indicated. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Peter Berg’s Battleship raked in $9m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada according to Box Office Mojo. That’s about $500k less than early estimates. For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, at the start of its third weekend out, took in an estimated $15.3m. Box-office prognosticators were expecting Battleship to gross $40m on its first weekend out in North America. It turns out the alien invasion actioner / sci-fier will be lucky if it earns much more than $25m. A Universal release, Battleship cost a reported $209m. »

Rodrigo Santoro Talks What To Expect When You’Re Expecting, Love Actually, the 300 Sequel, Possibly Playing Ayrton Senna in a Biopic, and a Lot More
19 May 2012 2:01 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While not as well known in America as some of his counterparts in What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Rodrigo Santoro is absolutely the bigger star in places like Brazil. That's because while Santoro has acted in some Hollywood movies and TV shows like Love Actually, 300, I Love You Phillip Morris (which is severely underrated) and Lost (he played Paulo), in Brazil he's acted in countless movies and he's a big time movie star. At the recent Los Angeles press day for What to Expect When You're Expecting (he plays Jennifer Lopez's husband), I landed an extended interview with Santoro. During our wide ranging conversation we talked about how he got into acting, his favorite movies, how he got cast in What to Expect, the success of Love Actually, and the 300 sequel/spin-off 300: Battle of Artemisia . In addition, Santoro addresses the rumor of him playing famed Brazilian Formula One racer, »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »

Cine Latino: Rodrigo Santoro on 'Expecting,' Reprising Xerxes in '300: The Battle of Artemisia', 'Heleno' and Singing in the Shower?
18 May 2012 7:31 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Cine Latino covers, well, all things relating to Latino culture and the movies, every Friday. Rodrigo Santoro, a mega star in his native Brazil, has steadily, through the years, nurtured his international career. He cemented his name in Hollywood with eye-catching performances in 300 and Steven Soderbergh's Che. Besides his acting talents, the half Brazilian and half Italian actor has gained a lot of popularity with the ladies for his more than modest looks. His latest film project, What to Expect When You're Expecting, in theaters today, follows five couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood. Santoro plays Jennifer Lopez's husband, and together they decide to adopt a child from a third world country...

In Theaters: 'The Dictator' Overruns The 'Polisse,' So That 'Battleship' And 'What To Expect' May Cause Angry 'Hysteria' Among 'The Samaritan's
18 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Dictators, hitmen, and navy officers – oh my! It’s a big weekend for the dudes, the professional advantages mentioned above notwithstanding, and we can expect screens clogged with manly men doing male things. Even the invention of a sex toy (by a man, duh) and male grooming get sweet turns in the theaters. If only the powerful sight of pregnant women was enough to combat the male-dominated market. Ah well, perhaps another weekend. Let’s jump into the testosterone-fueled fray, shall we?
Political satire, social comedy, and gross-out humor each take their turn in the Larry Charles-directed “The Dictator,” which opened Wednesday. Sacha Baron Cohen is Admiral General Aladeen, the universal and undisputed leader of the fictional North African nation of Wadiya. Running (or perhaps “scaring” is a better word choice here) a nation with a sexist, racist, iron fist, threatening nuclear warfare while hoarding oil reserves, Aladeen is »

Opening this weekend is director Kirk Jones’ What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

For more on the film, here’s the trailer and a TV spot. At the recent Los Angeles press day I was able to speak with Anna Kendrick twice. The first time was a video interview alongside Chace Crawford (click here if you missed it), and the second time was a more in depth interview with just her.

Movie Reviews: What To Expect When You’Re Expecting
18 May 2012 11:48 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
The best thing that What to Expect When You're Expecting has got going for it is its production budget — it cost only $25 million to make. And although the film’s publicists have been working overtime trying to find a hook that will appeal to men, it has been tracking heavily among females — only. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star, one of the few critics to give the film something less than a devastating review, nevertheless suggests that it ought to come with a “cuteness alert.” Otherwise, he writes, it promises “a few laughs and some nods of recognition.” And Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times halts himself in mid-review for being too “snarky,” and then virtually apologizes. “This is a good-hearted movie with some winning performances,” he concedes, “but it has so many characters … that the plot nearly stalls with gridlock. It’s clever but the stories are thin soup.” Otherwise, the reviews could abort any possibility of the movie’s success if enough people actually read them. Melissa Moseley in the New York Daily News says that it “may be the first movie to actually induce morning sickness.” Actually, says Faran Smith Nahme in the New York Post, the movie “isn’t as charmless as you might have feared, largely due to a cast working furiously to sell every scene.” That cast includes Matthew Morrison, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Rock, Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid Brooklyn Decker, Rodrigo Santoro, Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford. But, writes Betsy Sharkey in the Los Angeles Times, that cast adds up to so many characters that “the filmmakers should have considered bringing on someone from Espn’s ‘SportsCenter’ to give us the play by play.” »
