  • New Movie Friday – ‘Dear John,’ ‘From Paris with Love’

    New in theaters this weekend is a mix of movies – Action! Romance! Drama! Jackie Chan! Ok, there’s my little promo. Here are the actual movies. ‘Dear John’ (PG-13).

  • Captain Awesome from ‘Chuck’ to Play ‘Captain America’?

    They’re still looking for a star for ‘Captain America,’ and director Joe Johnston says they’re starting to narrow the field. One hopeful who’s read for the part and is ready and willing to slap that big A on his forehead is Ryan McPartlin, best known as “Captain Awesome” on NBC’s ‘Chuck.’ McPartlin told Moviehole, “It…

  • John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers talk ‘From Paris With Love’

    No, it’s not a romance like the title suggests, but ‘From Paris With Love’ might be more of a bromance. It stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador who hooks up with an American spy (John Travolta) looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city. Here’s…

  • Is Logan Lerman the next ‘Spider-Man’?

    Could Logan Lerman, the 18-year-old star of the upcoming ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’ be the next Spider-Man? Not so fast!

  • ‘MacGyver’ creator ticked over ‘MacGruber’ movie

    In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a ‘MacGruber’ movie in the works. What’s ‘MacGruber’?

  • The 2010 Oscar Nominations are in!

    The nominations for the 2010 Oscars were announced this morning. I’ve been surprised that “The Hurt Locker” hasn’t snagged more awards so far this season.

  • ‘Avatar’ wins Best Picture (Drama) at the 2010 Golden Globes

    I’m not really sure how I feel about “Avatar” winning for Best Picture (Drama) at the 2010 Golden Globes. There’s no doubt it’s a fantastic movie – I saw it twice – but Best Picture? And in the drama category? What about “The Hurt Locker”? Or “Up in the Air”? Those seem like better candidates…

  • Anna Kendrick on shooting ‘New Moon’ and ‘Up in the Air’

    “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” hasn’t been buzzed about too much in terms of awards, but that doesn’t mean the cast and crew will be absent from the Golden Globes, Oscars and other upcoming awards festivities. Here’s a clip from ReelzChannel in which Anna Kendrick talks about her roles in “New Moon” and “Up in…
