'Knight & Day' trailer: Could one movie redeem Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz?

23 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Any trailer that got me past the lamely punny title Knight & Day is worth watching. Any trailer that got me excited about Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise again, even moreso: I still don't know exactly what it's about, and that's what's so cool. What's even cooler? These two superstars reminding us why they're superstars. Cameron Diaz is playing her trademark likable everygirl in an action-packed premise (half Charlie's Angels, half My Best Friend's Wedding). And Tom Cruise somehow seems to be combining his greatest hits -- the flirtatious charm of Top Gun, the gun-toting swagger of Mission: Impossible, the self-deprecating (but still sexy! »

Will "I See You" Become the Next "You Complete Me"?

22 December 2009 5:14 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

I will fully admit to having a blast while watching James Cameron's Avatar, but there were a few lines of dialogue that felt oddly manufactured for girls to swoon over and guys to want to barf in their bag of popcorn. One such line was "I see you", which, of course, is also the name of the film's theme song by Leona Lewis. In the film itself, "I see you" is used by the characters when they're involved in really deep conversations and all caught up in the spiritual moment. It's a way for them to verbalize their intense connection, and to Cameron's credit he sets it up and pays it off in ways that maximize its schmaltz factor. The director seems to have a knack for piecing together these lines of dialogue and promoting them in a way so that they remain in the public consciousness (and as »

Tom Cruise Returns to Action in 'Knight and Day' Trailer

22 December 2009 12:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

For those of you disappointed that Tom Cruise bailed on the upcoming action film Salt (Angelina Jolie took his place), we've got the trailer for the equally ridiculous-looking spy thriller Knight & Day (formerly Wichita), courtesy of E! Online. The movie reunites Cruise with his Vanilla Sky costar Cameron Diaz in a plot about a lovelorn woman romanced by a secret agent. And against her wishes, she ends up involved in his latest mission. On paper it sounds like 27 Dresses meets Mission: Impossible (with a little Bourne Identity mixed in), and unfortunately there's not much shown in this spot to make it look any better than that.

Given that it's directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line; 3:10 to Yuma) and features the always appealing Peter Sarsgaard, I'm trying to overlook the sitcom-friendly title, contrived premise and, most of all, Cruise's smiley performance, which seems to combine Ethan Hunt with Jerry Maguire. »

Even More Iron Man 2 Footage Gives Us War Machine

16 December 2009 1:54 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Congratulations, we are now your drug dealers. Yesterday, Josh posted a promo with some pretty flashing images from Iron Man 2 that will be on Entertainment Tonight... tonight. Now that we have you hooked, here comes the heavier stuff. Another promo for the show has come up online, and, in addition to the awesomeness that was included in yesterday's clip, it includes something that might actually get me to watch the show for the first time ever: War Fucking Machine. Between the two taking on what appears to be an army of robotic soldiers, a new suit (trianglular arc reactor, anyone?) and a killer Jerry Maguire reference as Rdj jumps out of a plane, I expect the DTs to kick in at approximately two minutes after the show is over. »

[DVD Review] Know Your Mushrooms

15 December 2009 10:00 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

You know the word ‘quirky’? It has no real definition (google offers up the following gem: ‘far out’), but yet nearly anyone at all familiar with pop culture can readily identify films, books, and fashion trends with that level. To that end, there are many people who identify themselves with that term, and will purposefully support media solely on the basis that it is quirky (I have mountains of data supporting this claim). Know Your Mushrooms seems to be marketed exclusively to this demographic. It’s not that it doesn’t contain information about mushrooms; it’s just far more concerned with the weird details of the people and theories (that’s right, theories) that are even peripherally connected to mushrooms than it is convincing us that mushrooms are an at all worthy topic for a feature-length documentary. It’s a work that’s all fringe and no center.

Hunt's Show To Be Scrapped

9 December 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Bonnie Hunt's daytime U.S.talk show has become the latest TV series to get the axe due to disappointing viewer ratings.

The Jerry Maguire star has hosted two seasons of The Bonnie Hunt Show, which debuted in September 2008, but broadcasting executives have confirmed the Warner Brothers-produced show has been cancelled.

Hunt's previous small-screen efforts, an earlier Bonnie Hunt Show in 1995 and the 2002 sitcom Life With Bonnie, were also axed. »

Empire Photo Spread Has Actors Recreating Iconic Roles

2 December 2009 5:42 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

[Update: Many of you have pointed out, correctly, that Empire ran these in their magazine for the 20th anniversary issue several months ago. However, this is the first time that they've been available online in this form, and many of you haven't seen them before. So, if you didn't catch them the first time around, enjoy.] The always-awesome Empire magazine really pulled out the stops for their 20th anniversary. They asked 27 stars to participate in a photo shoot and recreate some of their most iconic performances from the previous two decades, but with a slight twist: Dress stylishly (with a few exceptions). Most of these photos are pretty amazing, although I do question their designation of some of these roles as "iconic performances" (Is Jon Anderton really as iconic as Ethan Hunt or even Jerry Maguire? Either way, Anderton certainly makes for something more visually interesting). In any case, my feeling »

Up in the Air Review: Book Your Ticket Now

2 December 2009 11:21 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Jason Reitman is on a roll. His first film, 2005's Thank You For Smoking, is a smart, satirical adaptation of Christopher Buckley's novel about a spokesperson for the tobacco industry (Aaron Eckhart). Two years later, Reitman directed Juno, the sweet little indie comedy that could and did win over critics and the public alike while pulling in a huge $150 million in ticket sales. Now, the young filmmaker takes another huge leap forward with the new comedy/drama Up In the Air starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.

Based on Walter Kim's novel, Up In the Air centers around Ryan Bingham (Clooney), a corporate downsizing expert that flies around the country to lay people off from various companies. Living - and loving - a solitary life out of a suitcase, Ryan is on the verge of completing a personal goal: reaching the airline milestone of flying ten million miles. »

Blu-Ray Review: Remarkable 20th Anniversary Edition of ‘Say Anything...’

29 November 2009 2:04 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Sometimes fans have the choice between holding on to the standard DVD version of their favorite films or upgrading to the latest format, anniversary, or ultimate collector’s unrated fantastic edition. With many Blu-Ray releases merely improving the technical specs but often leaving the special features alone, it can be a tough call. Such is not the case with the 20th anniversary edition of the great “Say Anything…,” a release packed with excellent bonus material that make it a must-own for fans of Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut.

Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0

After breaking through with his script for “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” Cameron Crowe fell into the worst project of his career, a lackluster ’80s teen movie called “The Wild Life”. After that experience, Crowe told himself that he wanted to write something personal and real; a film that took the lives of young people seriously and not merely »

Kevin Carr’s Weekly Report Card for 11.25.09

25 November 2009 10:23 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Old Dogs Studio: Disney Rated: PG for some mild rude humor. Starring: John Travolta, Robin Williams, Kelly Preston, Seth Green and Ella Bleu Travolta Directed by: Walt Becker What it’s about: Robin Williams plays a sports marketing businessman who learns that he has seven-year-old twins. When their mother needs to go to jail for two weeks, she begs him to take care of them and learn to be a father. He takes on the challenge, but it proves to be a wild time along with his business partner, played by John Travolta. What I liked: There are times when the slapstick actually works in this film. It's not often, but it happens. The best part of the film is Seth Green as the marketing protege who never quite makes the grade. Sadly, the funniest scene in the film is when the characters sneak into the gorilla enclosure at the zoo, which »

Farewell, My Dollhouse! A Love Letter to the Show Others Loved to Hate

15 November 2009 9:45 PM, PST | thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news »

I know a lot of people have busied themselves haterizing on Dollhouse, but I'm here to take a stand. I really dug that show. And with the news that it's been canceled, I find myself disappointed, for once again the world has been deprived of what could have been. I say could have, because I think we can all agree that Dollhouse never really rose to the apex of Joss Whedon's talent for storytelling. But the potential was definitely there. Dollhouse is the Jerry Maguire to my Renee Zellwegger -- I love it for the show it wants to be and I love it for the show it almost is. »

An open letter to Jay Mohr about Gary Unmarried

12 November 2009 1:02 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Dear Jay,

Let me start by stating that I think you are a very funny man. I have been following your career for years and you're great. You were wonderful in Jerry Maguire. Of course, you were speaking lines written by Cameron Crowe, so that was a plus, but you delivered the performance. Bravo, Jay Mohr.

That said, I have to talk to you now about Gary Unmarried. Jay, you can make this so much better. Really, you are capable of so much more. Yes, you don't have Cameron Crowe writing for you now. I'm fully aware of that. But you're there.

Gary Unmarried may have started as a formula, and it still has too much of that formula intact. The bitchy, controlling wife/ex-wife? Haven't we seen the Allison character on Two and a Half Men (Judith), Everybody Loves Raymond (Deborah), The King of Queens (Carrie)? Do you see the pattern here? »

Bertinelli Lands Hunt As Marathon Partner

9 November 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Valerie Bertinelli has found a running partner in fellow actress Bonnie Hunt after convincing the Jerry Maguire star to run a marathon with her next year.

The One Day at a Time actress dropped 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms) to compete in a 13.1-mile (21-kilometre) race in July, crossing the finish line in two hours, 12 minutes and 19 seconds.

Now rocker Eddie Van Halen's ex-wife is ready to go the extra distance and take part in a full marathon - and she's won over Hunt to join her in the challenge.

During an appearance on the Bonnie Hunt Show on Monday, Bertinelli said, "I'm gonna run a marathon next year. I ran a half marathon in July. I did pretty well, so I figured the next goal (is) a whole one."

Hunt praised her for her dedication to her fitness regime before declaring her own interest in shaping up - prompting Bertinelli to sign her up for the marathon.

She warned Hunt, "You have six months to train." »
