The Notable Films of 2010: Part Six

27 December 2009 10:09 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Last Airbender

Opens: July 2nd 2010

Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel

Director: M. Night Shyamalan

Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.

Analysis: Its been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan who started it as a household name with labels of a moodern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".

Thus 'Airbender' marks a potential return to form for the helmer. An adaptation of the hit cartoon series »

Even a Master Sleuth Couldn't Untangle 'Sherlock Holmes'

24 December 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Boasting enough slow-motion action to please even Watchmen’s Zack Snyder, this is not your English teacher’s Sherlock Holmes. Director Guy Ritchie honed his high-energy approach to the British crime genre with the excellent Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, and he brings that aesthetic to this adventure starring literature’s most famous detective (sorry, Nancy Drew). But despite its top-caliber cast and talented director, Sherlock Holmes is a mess that even the master sleuth couldn’t untangle.

Sherlock Holmes gets off to a fast and furious start, barreling right into the action. With the help of the ever steadfast Dr. John Watson (Jude Law), Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) captures multiple murderer Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong, Body of Lies). Though the black-magic-loving aristocrat is hanged for his crimes, he soon resurfaces, much to the surprise of Watson, who, embarrassingly, pronounced the man dead.

Amanda Seyfried to Exit Big Love

20 December 2009 8:12 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

January brings us the fourth season of HBO’s Big Love, but it may be the last to feature cast member Amanda Seyfried on a regular basis according to TV Guide. Seyfried plays the eldest of eight children of a polygamist family in suburban Utah, and will be written off the show in the eighth episode of the season.

The show’s creator, Will Scheffer, had this to say, “She’s been exploring her movie career for a couple of years now, and we’ve been giving her a lot of room to do that. I know having a commitment to a show for six months definitely cuts into her ability to pursue that career.” Just so there’s no confusion, Scheffer continues, “She’s moving away”. Hit the jump for what effect this may have on the show.

Big Love provides amazing roles for female actors, but this applies »

McAdams Refuses To Get A TV

19 December 2009 6:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Rachel McAdams doesn't own a TV.

The Notebook star has always steered clear of buying a television - because she worries she'll do nothing but sit and stare at it all day.

McAdams, who appears in the new Sherlock Holmes film, explains, "The problem for me is it's like my crack - 'Don't put cookies in the cupboard because you can't not have them all the time' - so I have a problem... I am amazingly in the dark sometimes."

But her TV blackout could change in the New Year - because of a new reality TV show her sister has introduced her to: "My sister was telling me about this Hoarders show on TV, so I almost want to go out and get a television." »

Making the best of what she s got

Actress Rachel McAdams has confessed she suffers from the guilt of living a luxurious life when she thinks of the planet’s environmental decline. The Notebook actress even sticks to using things she already has instead of buying new ones in a bid to refrain from material things. “I don’t really desire things. I prefer to spend my money on experiences, on meals or travel,” the Daily Star was quoted her as telling Vogue magazine. »

McAdams In Awe Of Lohan

16 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Rachel McAdams was left in awe of Lindsay Lohan's acting ability on the set of Mean Girls - because she was so professional.

The stars appeared together in the 2004 teen comedy, and while McAdams has gone on to star in several major movies, including The Notebook, The Time Traveller's Wife and new film Sherlock Holmes, Lohan has since failed to land any high profile film roles.

Lohan has also seen her private life hit headlines in recent years, with a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) and several stints in rehab.

But McAdams has spoken out in favour of the fallen actress - insisting Lohan knows exactly what she's doing on set.

She says, "I just remember marvelling about how much she knew as an actor, how much she understood. She did very few takes and had this naturalness to her." »

McAdams Struggles With 'Green Guilt'

16 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Rachel McAdams struggles to balance her privileged life as a Hollywood actress with the "guilt" she feels about the declining state of the environment.

Designers frequently gift The Notebook star with expensive clothing, but she prefers to wear items she's had in her closet for years to keep from consuming too many material things.

And McAdams admits her desire to save the earth often conflicts with the lavish lifestyle that comes with her career.

She tells Vogue magazine, "I don't really desire things. I prefer to spend my money on experiences, on meals or travel. I look at the world through a green lens now, but you can't make yourself crazy. That feeling of green guilt can be really inhibiting."

And she insists it's easy for people to change their habits to be more mindful of the planet, adding, "It's about a changing mind-set, remembering to turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth." »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Two

Case 39

Opens: January 1st 2010

Cast: Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Kerry O'Malley

Director: Christian Alvart

Summary: A family services social worker thinks she has seen it all until she meets her newest, most mysterious case - a troubled 10-year old girl whose parents try to kill her. The social worker decides to take her in herself until the right foster family comes along.

Analysis: Despite the presence of promising German director Christian Alvart ("Pandorum"), 'Case' has sat on a shelf since late 2006 and is finally being quietly shuffled out this year for one very good reason - it stinks. Having opened in Australia a few months back, reviewers utterly savaged the film as both incredibly dumb and utterly ludicrous. Lead star Renee Zellweger also scored personal criticism to a level rarely seen in film reviews outside of comments about Nicole Kidman's 'more alien than the »
