The news comes courtesy of Moviehole. According to Ms. Phoenix's MySpace page, Tanit Phoenix is beautiful enough to seduce at will and brawny enough to kick ass when necessary. To put it in simpler terms: She'll own you in the bedroom, and she'll have your back in a bar fight. After all, her name means "goddess of the love," and she's trained in the explosive art of Muay Thai boxing. The South African edition of FHM gave her further beauty dues by featuring her on its 100 Sexiest Women list.

The Vatican Would Prefer Twilight Choose "Team Jesus"
14 hours ago
Twilight fans, if you thought the critics have condemned New Moon in their reviews ... The Roman Catholic Church has a message for all of you rushing out to see the latest exploits of a droopy teenage girl trying to decide whether or not her existence is validated by a depressed sparkling vampire or an underwear model werewolf: You're going to Hell!
Monsignor Franco Perazzolo, of the Pontifical Council of Culture, has gone on the record saying the following about the obsession of every teenage girl and desperate housewife:
"The theme of vampires in 'Twilight' combines a mixture of excesses that as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element. It is once again that age-old trick or ideal formula of using extremes to make an impact at the box office. This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message, and as such should be of concern. »

The Reel Paranormal (Truth is Stranger Than Paranormal)
15 hours ago
From the vampire and werewolf clashes of The Twilight Saga to the disturbing events of Paranormal Activity, there appears to be no end in sight for the overwhelming popularity of stories in film and television that deal with the paranormal and supernatural. Although a majority of these hair-raising creations are the product of Hollywood's imagination, like the old saying goes, "There is some truth to every story"; and in my quest to find some truth of this elusive world, I was amazed to discover a gold mine of it in a real-life explorer of the paranormal amidst the entertainment industry.
Christopher Chacon is a world adventurer and paranormal explorer who has investigated more real-life paranormal phenomena than any fictional TV series or movie can depict. And if you think this "calling" is unorthodox enough, it's actually the balancing of this extraordinary work and his creative endeavors in the entertainment industry »

20 November 2009 3:18 AM, PST
Some of you have asked the question, "So where is The Asylum's mockbuster of Paranormal Activity?" To be fair, who expected a $15,000 home movie to become a $100 million dollar blockbuster? Never fear; when a blockbuster makes money, The Asylum smells money, and a mockbuster soon follows. They'll see your Paranormal Activity and raise you a Paranormal Entity.
Now this Asylum mockbuster must really be on the fast track because The Asylum hasn't even announced it on their own website yet, but it is already scheduled for a December 29th DVD release date. Quiet Earth appears to have broken the news about Paranormal Entity, complete with some admittedly neat looking artwork.
As for the plot:

Shield Writer Tapped for Fourth Underworld Film
20 November 2009 1:45 AM, PST
The Underworld franchise is pretty rare in that it actually has been getting better as it goes along. In fact, we'd call that a goddamn anomaly. With a fourth entry on the way, can the wheel keep rolling uphill?
According to THR's Heat Vision Blog that's indeed the plan as "The Shield" writer John Hlavin has been hired to pen the fourth installment in Screen Gems/Lakeshore's franchise.
Hlavin told the site the plot was under wraps, adding, "but I can tell you it's not a prequel." He further stated, "It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements."
Franchise creator Len Wiseman will be serving as a producer with Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg, and Richard Wright. No word yet »

Stephen King and Steven Spielberg to Bring Us Under the Dome
20 November 2009 12:43 AM, PST
Talk about a horror dream team! Under the Dome already sounded pretty cool, but this latest development could really push it over the top for King fans looking for a return to form.
Variety reports that Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are joining forces to develop a limited series based on King's just-released supernatural thriller Under the Dome. DreamWorks TV has optioned the book and is looking to set it up as an event series for cable TV.
DreamWorks is starting to meet with writers for the project. The plan is to set a writer before shopping the skein to prospective buyers. This contradicts a bit what King told a crowd in Maryland a few days ago -- that the series was headed to HBO -- but as long as it's cable, we're on board.
The Dome deal continues a burst of activity on the small screen side for Spielberg and DreamWorks TV. »
