Charlize Theron Loves Gary

Well not Gary the Gecko directly, though I’m sure he wishes that were true.
Ms. Theron apparently took to studying Gary’s green gecko cousins in preparation for her assassin extraordinaire role in Aeon Flux. Why you ask? Movie stunt coordinator Charlie Croughwell says, “There’s a scene where Charlize runs on all fours and her […]

Own David Bowie in Leopard Print Tights

No, Bowie hasn’t crossed paths with Siegfried and Roy, I’m talking about his 1986 role as Jareth the goblin king in the classic “Labyrinth”. If watching him prance around with barely concealed equipment and drag queen make-up on your television simply is not enough, you can now buy a foot tall replica of the […]

Generation X author Douglas Coupland, who described and gave identity to an entire generation of displaced, confused young people, is bringing his writing talents to the big screen for Everythings’ Gone Green. Hardly a departure from his previous work, Coupland has penned the tale of Ryan, a discontented twenty-something in a dead end job, […]

Box-Office Breakdown: Dec. 23-25

Kong is still King of the box-office this week, but not by a comfortable margin. Narnia, though declining, is not dropping off as sharply in revenue and viewership as its gorilla competitor. In its third week of release, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe finished with a respectable $20.4 million dollars, close […]

New in Theatres This Week

It looks like studios are really counting on the fact that people can’t stand to be near their families for an entire weekend and will need to escape to the quiet dark of the movie theatre for a couple hours of respite.
Aside from the apparently very scary Wolf Creek, the execs have also figured that […]

Now Available on DVD - Dec. 20th

We’ve got a decidedly non-Christmas-y edition of releases to retail this week, beginning with the possession horror tale The Exorcism of Emily Rose. If watching people thrash and speak in tongues in your idea of a good holiday film, then you’ve truly lucked in this year.

TomKat Cold in Hollywood Poll

Oh so sad, and yet so true. Once the hottest male star in Hollywood, Tom Cruise and his also popular hubby Katie Holmes have plummeted in the coolness category so far that FilmThreat.com has deemed them two of the Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood in 2005.

Rotten Tomatoes Pelts Worst of 2005
