Clooney: "Batman & Robin" Changed My Career

You know, sometimes even a crappy role can change an actor’s career for the better.
Case in point: George Clooney as Batman in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Sure, it was a crappy movie, but as Clooney told Showbiz Spy, he wouldn’t change a thing.
“I don’t regret anything,” he said. “With hindsight […]

Kiefer Sutherland may be a tough guy on 24, but says he’s afraid of mirrors. So much so that he’s banned them from his home.
“Come over to my house,” he told Wenn News. “You won’t find a mirror anywhere. I don’t like mirrors. They are frightening.”
I guess the subject came up […]

"I Am Legend" Prequel in the Works

I Am Legend is one of those (many) movies in my DVD stack I haven’t found time to watch yet. Everyone I’ve talked to who’s seen it says don’t bother, it’s a depressing thriller, not worth it, etc.
So there it sits. But maybe I should re-think that, because now a prequel is in […]

Shatner: I Was Never Contacted About the Movie

I posted a few weeks ago about J.J. Abrams saying he wanted William Shatner in the new “Star Trek” movie. But Shatner wanted more than a cameo, “which, frankly, he deserves,” said Abrams.
You’ve got to admit that Abrams is in a tough spot. It would be great to have Shatner in the movie, but […]

In July, I was surprised to hear that Josh Brolin was arrested in a bar fight, along with six others. I mean, what’s up with that? Just a bunch of guys out on the town? Brolin was in Louisiana at the time, filming Oliver Stone’s film, W, a biopic about George […]

Mariah Carey Returning to Theaters - A Good Thing?

The last time I saw Mariah Carey in a movie was just recently, in You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. I hated the movie, and she did nothing to elevate it in my mind.
Anyway, now Vivendi Entertainment has acquired the domestic rights to her film Tennessee, which premiered at this spring’s Tribeca Film […]
