Melrose Place Review: "Gower"
4 November 2009 4:20 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Paging Heather Locklear: can you get to Melrose Place even earlier than November 17? The show really needs you.
Last night's episode, "Gower," highlighted a few of the show's weaker points and characters. Click on the title of the episode for a recap and read below for our expanded take on the installment...
Just fire them now: Like Grey's Anatomy, Melrose Place now has the problem of real-life events blurring on-camera plot developments. It was difficult enough to take any scene with Colin Egglesfield or Ashlee Simpson seriously before, due to their acting. Now that we know they're leaving the show? Any time spent on Auggie and Violet feels like a waste.
Just break-up already: How long will the show drag out the relationship between Jonah and Riley? The love birds were clearly doomed from the start, but a couple of kisses - followed by guilt-ridden reactions - is not »

'Melrose Place' recap: Auggie, David bring out the knives
3 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Auggie, please pack your knives and go. Oh wait, this isn’t Top Chef? Then why are viewers of a nighttime soap being bored by talk about saffron and thyme beurre blanc!? This episode of Melrose Place was one of the most dramatic for Auggie (not saying much) -- the aspiring chef devised a brilliant dish, only to have his boss take credit for it (in front of Coal's owner, inexplicably played by Rick Fox). Then Auggie threw punches at his boss Marcello (after Marcello disrespected Riley) and seemingly got fired. Of course resident stalker Violet came over to bring him his knives, »

Cyborg She: DVD review
1 November 2009 7:27 AM, PST | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Director: Jae-young Kwak. Review: Adam Wing. Had someone told me this morning that later today I would be watching a new Japanese movie that sits somewhere between Pretty Woman and Terminator, I’d have politely asked them what it was they were smoking. But here it is folks, a rom-com sci-fi movie from the director of My Sassy Girl and Windstruck. Jae-young Kwak introduces us to a lonely young man who falls in love with an emotionless cyborg, Jiro (Keisuke Koide) is celebrating his birthday alone when he crosses paths with a mysterious young beauty and after spending the evening together the girl vanishes without a trace. Jiro’s life has been pretty dull up to this point, and he knows that whatever happens, he’ll never be able to shake that girl or the night they spent together. Exactly one year later, he returns to the same restaurant and »
Film School 101: Protagonists

First off I need to apologize for the tardiness of this entry. I was infected with the swine pandemic and was unable to do anything but utter “Bbbbraaaiiinsssss…” feebly from my bed. Now I’m up and about again, so here we go.
One of the first things to do when making your movie is figure out who your main character is going to be. Now, you may pick your plot first and then figure what kind of protagonist you want or you may pick your characters and write about what they do – it all depends on your style of writing. In either case, understanding your protagonist(s) is very important since these are the people whom the plot revolves around, who we will come to know and love and who we will follow for the next 120 minutes. They will be our tour guides through your movie so you have »

Zach Galifianakis And Amy Adams Moving In Together?
28 October 2009 7:18 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I want you to enjoy this time right now, while Bored to Death is quietly running on HBO and The Hangover is enshrined as a great summer movie. It may be the last time ever again you're not sick of hearing about Zach Gailfianakis. The Hangover breakout star has signed on to a dizzying number of roles since that movie's success, and now he's managed to add yet another to the pile. He and Amy Adams are likely to star in Town House, a Fox comedy about the entitled son of a rock star who won't leave the townhouse his father left him. Adams plays a call girl who, Pretty Woman-style maybe, helps him get back into the real world. According to Variety, Ridley and Tony Scott are producing the project, which suggest that either a high-speed chase or an explosion might dampen all this human bonding. Don't get »

Zach Galifianakis and Amy Adams have signed on to star in the long-gestating comedy drama, Town House.Galifianakis, stretching his wings a little after booking a series of comedic roles in the wake of his breakout performance in The Hangover, will play an agoraphobic man who lives, with his teenage son, in a large house bought and paid for by his late rock star dad. When the royalty cheques stop arriving, the man has to reassess his life and attitude, with the help of a friendly prostitute, in the shape of Adams.About A Boy meets Pretty Woman, anyone? Now here’s material that could go either way, with enormous potential for tipping over into the irredeemably mawkish. But we have faith that Galifianakis, who doesn’t seem to have a sentimental bone in his body, can turn this the other way, into a sharp and affecting comedy drama.No »

Blu-Ray Review: Steven Soderbergh’s Fascinating ‘The Girlfriend Experience’
15 October 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience” is a captivating, fascinating examination of the way we have turned every element of our lives into a business transaction. With “Che,” “The Informant!,” and this fantastic drama, Soderbergh is continuing to make the case that he is one of the most important American filmmakers working today.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
“The Girlfriend Experience” opens with a casual night that could be from any romantic drama - a nice dinner, a trip to the movies, a few glasses of wine, some petting on the couch, and some sex. All of it is punctuated by light, easy-going conversation from the jaw-dropping Chelsea (Sasha Grey, giving one of the best performances of the year). But this is not a typical date. This is “the girlfriend experience”. Chelsea is getting paid. But not in a “Leaving Las Vegas” or even “Pretty Woman” way. It’s exactly what the »

Hollywood Goes Crazy For Thigh-High Boots

Trends change so often that we can barely keep up. Last fall it was all about the fringe boots, but this fall we’ve been seeing a whole lotta thigh high boots. Julia Roberts first made thigh high boots trendy back in 1990 with Pretty Woman. Fast-forward to 2009 and they’re back in style and kicking. We’ve been seeing some of our favorite celebrities sporting some really cute thigh highs. Halle Berry recently visited The Jay Leno Show sporting some sexy boots and Hollywood’s best dressed, Kim Kardashian has a few pairs of her own. Our... »
Will Chris Evans Join The Ranks of These Famous Film Hustlers?
6 October 2009 6:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The hooker with a heart of gold is a Hollywood staple, but usually when we're talking about the 'pay to play' types, we're dealing with the female species. So who better to take a role as 'man candy' than Chris Evans? I mean, just look to your right -- is it any surprise he's the crush of girls and guys everywhere? In an interview with Prestige, Sharon Stone told them she would be working with Evans in the somewhat poorly named drama, Satisfaction, where Evans will play a male prostitute whose career has hit the skids.
According to Stone, the story will center on Evans' character as he's beginning to lose his cache with his agency, but when he hooks up with a new client (played by Stone), his career soon begins to take off again. This is no Pretty Woman tale, though, because what starts off as a partnership »

Roberts' Stepmom To Be Remade In Bollywood
6 October 2009 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Julia Roberts fever has swept up Bollywood - Indian moviemakers are to remake her Stepmom film.
The Pretty Woman star spent much of September in the sub-continent shooting new movie Eat, Pray, Love and it seems her presence has prompted movie executives to revamp one of her lesser-known films.
Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor will play the stepmother character Roberts played opposite Susan Sarandon in the 1998 film.
The Indian version of the film will also feature Kajol and Arjun Rampal.
Purists are unhappy that Bollywood executives are remaking a Hollywood film instead of mining their own rich literature for movie ideas.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed tells WENN, "Bollywood filmmakers are blatantly recreating Hollywood themes while ignoring India’s abundance of great tales ready for adaptation for the big screen. India had a longstanding tradition of scriptural and folk tales and various languages of India were loaded with literary themes to choose from."
The new film will be shot in Australia and the U.S. »

Contrary to reports in a certain section of the media, Sharmila Tagore was definitely in her husband Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's ancestral town Pataudi, in Haryana, last weekend when Julia Roberts was shooting in the same town.Sharmila had said on-record in a taped interview to Subhash K. Jha: 'Tiger and I are here. He dragged us out here in this heat, much to our annoyance. Saif and my two daughters Sabah and Soha are also here for a Mewati Akikah ceremony, which is a traditional Muslim mundan.'However, Sharmila and her family had no intention of meeting Julia Roberts.The clarification by the author follows an agency report quoting Sharmila as being 'furious' over media reports that her family, including Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, spent last weekend at their ancestral palace in Haryana, where Julia Roberts too is staying. She told the agency: 'Nobody from our family went to the Pautadi Palace. »

Saif Ali Khan has welcomed Julia Roberts into his ancestral home in Pataudi while she shoots Eat, Pray, Love in India. The Pretty Woman star recently met Khan's mother Sharmila Tagore and is reportedly keen to meet his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, who is remaking Roberts's Stepmom.

Gary Marshall And Richard Gere Remaking Capra
29 September 2009 8:12 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Frank Capra made one movie set in our nation's capital, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, that has become a classic. But apparently there's another one lurking in his filmography that Gary Marshall sees fit to bring back to life. State of the Union, which starred Spencer Tracy as an aircraft tycoon called upon to run as the Republican candidate for President, will be remade as a vehicle for Richard Gere and Annette Bening (in the Katharine Hepburn role), with Rod Lurie writing the script. This news comes from Production Weekly's Twitter feed, which, given the format, didn't have any other information to offer. Marshall, who has recently directed a series of awful chick flicks and has the mega-romantic-comedy Valentine's Day coming up, is also responsible for Pretty Woman and Beaches, let us remember. And despite the femme-centric nature of his work, he's got more in common with Capra than you »
Garry Marshall Directing Gere and Bening in Capra Remake
28 September 2009 12:22 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Production Weekly is reporting Richard Gere and Annette Bening will star opposite one another in State of the Union, a remake of Frank Capra's 1948 film starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman) will direct from a script by Rod Lurie (The Last Castle). The political-themed film is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse. In the original Tracy starred as an idealistic industrialist who is drafted to run for the presidency. As a candidate, Tracy is caught between the ruthless ambition of newspaper heiress (Angela Lansbury), who pulls the strings of his campaign, and the integrity of his wife (Hepburn), who believes in the man behind the political facade. It was originally reported by French magazine Tout le Cine that Julia Roberts would be starring in the film offering up a complete Pretty Woman reunion, but independent banner Identity Films »

27 September 2009 7:51 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
(AP Text, Scroll for photos) Mirzapur, India - Young boys climbed trees and villagers crowded rooftops in a tiny dusty village in northern India Sunday to catch a glimpse of Academy Award winner Julia Roberts shooting her new film, "Eat, Pray, Love." Scores of policemen, armed with bamboo sticks, private guards and plainclothes security guards kept curious visitors at bay as the "Pretty Woman" star walked about the sets created at Mirzapur village, 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Indian capital, New Delhi. Huge black screens protected the sets from television crews and photographers. Roberts was dressed in a turquoise blue tunic and loose pajamas, the traditional clothes worn by millions of Indian women. In the film, she plays the part of an American woman who leaves behind a troubled marriage and sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Newspapers and television stations... »
