Teacher reportedly told his students, 'This will be your first horror film,' before playing tape of 2004 shocker
A teacher in France has been suspended after screening the horror film Saw for a class of 11-year-olds.
Radio network Europe 1 reports that the unnamed teacher told his students: "This will be your first horror film." One pupil arrived home looking distinctly uncomfortable, according to a separate report on the French news site The Local.
"He returned from school on Monday evening, visibly in some discomfort, not well," said the father. "I asked him and he told me his maths teacher had shown them a horror film during class. At the moment the teachers are having staff meetings and parent-teacher meetings, so their classes are cut short and interrupted a bit."
The father subsequently brought the issue up with the school authorities.

Spike's Guys Choice Awards winners: Guy of the Year, Most Manticipated Movie and more
12 June 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The seventh annual Spike TV Guys Choice Awards were both a celebration of all things manly and an irreverent wink toward the silliness of such a singular celebration. The trophy is a “Mantler,” there’s an award for Most Dangerous Man, and prizes are handed out to fictional characters as readily as they are to real people. What other awards show would honor daredevil Felix Baumgartner in the same breath as The Walking Dead’s Dixon brothers? They know their audience.
Taped in Los Angeles on Saturday night, the Guys Choice Awards aired Wednesday night on Spike TV, where Clint Eastwood »

Ricky Gervais on hosting the Oscars: "It would be a thrill"
10 June 2013 7:08 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Ricky Gervais has said it "would be a thrill and an honour" if he was asked to host the Academy Awards.
The Derek actor has made several memorable appearances as host of the Golden Globes in recent years, making headlines for roasting Hollywood's most famous stars.
In a recent interview with Gold Derby, Gervais discussed both his interest in and apprehension about helming the movie industry's biggest night.
"I doubt the job offer would come without some strings attached," Gervais said. "The worst string being handing in my credentials as a comedian in favour of a family entertainer."
He added: "We have to be able to poke fun at society without favouring any part of it because we are beholden to someone.
"And it's a fine line between feeling like you've sold your soul and feeling like you're ruining someone's party. It would be very tempting though, I must admit. »

5 of the Best: Giovanni Ribisi – The Unsung Hero

With the release of Gangster Squad on DVD and Blu-ray today (order your copy here or click here to enter our competition) , it highlight to us that one of its cast has been in a lot of films. The person in question is Giovanni Ribisi. To most, he’s one of those actors that you can’t place the name of, and spend most of the film trying to figure out what you’ve seen him in before (and will probably either pick Friends as Phoebe’s brother of Avatar!). Truth is, you’ve seen him in a lot of things.
This doesn’t make him an actor that will take any old role though. Ribisi has been in some of the most important films in contemporary Hollywood cinema. He provides a quality of acting that always intrigues you. He brings characters to life that are endearing, a bit quirky, »

'Traumatised critics exhale,' controversial host of 2013 awards tells Twitter, saying he can't fit Oscars into his schedule
Seth MacFarlane has confirmed for the second time that his controversial and divisive 2013 Oscars hosting stint, dubbed the "meanest" in history, will be a one-off.
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who are to produce the 2014 ceremony for the second year running, have reportedly been wooing the comic and film-maker to return for next year's ceremony after his turn at the mic resulted in a three-year high for Us ratings despite decidedly mixed critical reactions. But MacFarlane buried suggestions that he might take the job for the 2014 show with a post on Twitter.
"Traumatised critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again," he wrote. "Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep." He then added: "However, I highly recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. »
