Normally I’m not one to ask actors about their sexuality but come on, we’ve all heard the Hugh Jackman rumors, right? And when he talked to People magazine about said rumors, well it seemed like fair game.
So credit Mr. Jackman as he stood his ground at the uncomfortable question and addressed the rumors with […]

It’s hard to imagine how 2009 could be a bigger year for Josh Brolin than his awesome ‘08. Between “W.” and “Milk” he’s banged out two performances that could very conceivably earn his Oscar’s attention. So how do you follow it up? Well you probably strap on some guns for “Jonah Hex” as Brolin told […]

Russell Brand had a helluva 2008. Are we agreed? The man went from zero to sixty in no time it seems and now he seems clearly poised to be a leading comedy star all his own with “Get Him To The Greek.” Yes, it is a rite of passage today for comedy star wannabes. Let […]

I’m not exactly the target audience (married/32-year old/male/”Star Trek” fan) but even I had to acknowledge the phenomenon that the “Sex and the City” movie was this past summer.

This is one of those festering casting rumors that’s just really gotten under my skin over the last year or two. Magnum P.I. played by…Matthew McConaughey. No. Just no. I have sat back and watched Rosie O’Donnell play Betty Rubble. I stayed silent. Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott as Bo and Luke. I let […]

Meet J. Michael Straczynski. 54-years-old. Veteran writer of everything from “Babylon 5” to the that “He-Man” cartoon in the 80s (I know, I got excited when I saw that on his resume too.) And overnight success story?
Admittedly it’s more than a little odd for publications like Variety to call Straczynski — a scribe with an […]

Without a doubt one of the big mysteries of the holiday movie season is whether Bryan Singer and Tom Cruise will be able to deliver a compelling thriller in “Valkyrie” despite all the baggage that the film has accumulated with all its mini-controversies.
