Kate Beckinsale gives great gifts. That is, as long as they're delivered on time. On Sunday, the actress shared the hilarious Christmas gift she got for her and ex Michael Sheen's 20-year-old daughter, Lily Mo Sheen. The gift was a pillow with a giant photo of Lily's boyfriend, David Schechter, on full display. A funny and adorable gift, no doubt, but due to some unfortunate circumstances with the gift's delivery, the actress has now labelled herself a "f*@king psycho." Sharing a screenshot of her FaceTime call with her daughter (who's currently in college) and David, the star wrote in her Instagram caption, "So.. getting a...

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who had been sitting on roughly a 457 percent profit in Netflix over the course of 14 months, has cut more than half of his investment in the streaming-media company, according to a filing after the closing bell on Tuesday. At his peak, Icahn had about a 10 percent stake in Netflix, though Tuesday he revealed the stake is at about 4.5 percent of the company. In a press release on Tuesday, Sargon Portfolio co-managers Brett Icahn and David Schechter said Carl Icahn wished to sell shares at a significant profit to reduce exposure to the stock,

Talk about profit taking. The billionaire investor just made about $800M after selling nearly 3M Netflix shares that Icahn Enterprises says was done “in view of the 457% increase in the price of those shares since the original investment at approximately $58 per share.” Netflix hit an all time high of $389.16 early today after it unveiled stronger than expected Q3 results. But it closed at $322.52, -9.2% — with much of the decline likely due to Icahn’s sales. He still has nearly 2.7M shares, equal to about 4.5% of the company votes. He bought his holdings about a year ago, and briefly tangled with CEO Reed Hastings after Netflix adopted a poison pill – a takeover defense designed to prevent Icahn from engineering an unwanted sale. Today Icahn thanked Hastings and Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos “for a job well done.” He added that “last but not least, I wish to thank Kevin Spacey” who...

Blind Date is a new comedy/drama feature from actor/director Stanley Tucci, starring Tucci, Patricia Clarkson and Thijs Römer. "...'Don' (Tucci) and his wife 'Janna' (Patricia Clarkson) meet every night in the same shabby nightclub where Don performs a magic act. Don and Janna's relationship has been on the verge of collapse since the death of their daughter, and they're trying to reconnect with each other through role playing, so each evening they pretend they're meeting for the first time on a blind date after discovering one another through personal ads. Sometimes they assume characters that are openly confrontational, while other times they try to bring a sweetness and intimacy back into their lives. More often than not their struggle to reclaim the love they knew ends in confusion and frustration..." Blind Date was adapted by Tucci and screenwriter David Schechter from filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's 1996 film of the same name,...

PARK CITY -- Part of a trilogy by slain Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh being remade by American directors, "Interview" is a two-hander pitting a world weary war reporter against a B-movie actress. Directed by Steve Buscemi, the film is an impressive formal accomplishment as it takes place mostly in one room. But while it is never dull, and occasionally sparks, material fails to ignite. Given unique nature of the project, exposure beyond film festivals and specialized cable outlets is unlikely.
Van Gogh -- an author, talk show host and agent provocateur in the Netherlands before a Muslim extremist irate at a short film he made murdered him -- had conceived the film as a battle of the sexes more than a comment on celebrity. Buscemi moves the film to New York but largely follows van Gogh's model.
A political reporter and war correspondent for a weekly news magazine, Peter Peders (Buscemi) is dispatched, much to his chagrin, to interview the TV and film star Katja (Sienna Miller). She arrives an hour late, wearing sunglasses at night, and demands her usual table, even if it means uprooting customers already seated, at a chic restaurant. Peders can't disguise his disgust and the interview soon blows up and they both leave.
However, when Peders cuts his head in a minor cab accident, Katja brings him back to her loft to patch him up. There the interview resumes in fits and starts as both of them drink heavily and toy with each other. In a kind of sick father-daughter or sadistic lover relationship, the two search for the upper hand. Screenplay by Buscemi and David Schechter keeps the sexual tension palpable and one wonders if they are going to sleep together or kill each other first.
Peders whines about his career, whines about having to do a fluff piece; Katja whines about her career and the hardships of celebrity. Neither of them is appealing or sympathetic. Like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" in a minor key, they keep hammering at each other, stripping away the layers. Whether it's peeling an onion or getting to some deeper truth is hard to tell because the characters are so full of subterfuge.
In a perverse way, it's fun observing how they manipulate each other. Peders confesses some dark secrets that may or may not be true, and even peeks in Katja's commuter looking for ammunition to use against her. For her part, she uses her sexuality and celebrity to dominate. By the end of the evening they despise each other.
Material sometimes plays more like a one-set theater piece, but on a technical level, Buscemi manages to keep the action moving when it threatens to bog down. Loren Weeks compartmentalized design for the loft, Thomas Kist's roving camera and Kate Williams editing give the story continuity and fluidity. Following van Gogh's style, film uses three cameras simultaneously to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy. As a formal experiment, the film is fascinating to watch, just don't expect to learn anything new.
