'Green Lantern' trailer hits. Let the swooning over Ryan Reynolds continue -- and the debate about the costume begin!
17 November 2010 8:35 AM, PST
Warner Bros. has just released the new trailer for its 2011 super-hero epic Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds — the same exact week as People is declaring Mr. Scarlett Johansson its new Sexiest Man Alive. Coincidence? I say not, especially since the trailer seems to be a showcase for its leading man’s said sexiness; it deserves the subtitle: Why Women Love Ryan Reynolds! Look at him exude charisma as he makes suggestive quips! (“Now let’s take these pants off and fly some planes.”) Look at him moonily ponder mankind’s gloomy condition and radiate vulnerability as he comes to grips with awesome responsibility! »

Oscars to have only three Best Animated Film nominees
15 November 2010 12:34 PM, PST
In a substantial blow to the animated film community, the Academy announced today that only 15 films have been accepted for consideration for the Best Animated Feature prize this year, meaning that only three films may be nominated for that Oscar. Had there been one more film accepted, the category would have increased to five slots. The 15 semi-finalists are: Alpha and Omega, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, Despicable Me, The Dreams of Jinsha, How to Train Your Dragon, Idiots and Angels, The Illusionist, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, Megamind, My Dog Tulip, Shrek Forever After, »

Halle Berry: Another Oscar nod for 'Frankie'?
15 November 2010 11:27 AM, PST
Last week I had a chance to see Frankie & Alice, the Halle Berry drama that’s making a late entrance into the awards season. The former Best Actress winner for Monster’s Ball gives another strong, gutsy performance as a stripper with multiple-personality disorder (her other two personas are a racist white woman and, most arrestingly, a small child). Whether or not the film will be well-received enough for Berry to be able to challenge The Kids Are All Right’s Annette Bening and Black Swan’s Natalie Portman remains to be seen. But I’d certainly put her on »

Brad Pitt’s Chilean miner movie? Not so fast.
15 November 2010 9:04 AM, PST
Perhaps you’ve seen the reports today (apparently based on interviews given to a Chilean newspaper) that Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, is in talks to produce a movie about the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped and finally freed? We reached out to Plan B for a status update on the project, and a spokesperson for the company said that the reports are a “huge wave of nothing.” A Plan B representative clarified: “We have shown potential interest, but there have been no serious discussions.” Looks like, for now at least, we’ll have to settle for the »
