Movie Reviews & News

Disney has decided to dump The Chronicles of Narnia, which was going to release “The Voyage” in 2010. I guess due to it not making as much money as the first one they’ve decided not to risk their pocket books. I think one thing they fail to remember is what other movies may have been playing when it was released, not to mention when during the year it was released. Yes, it was dark but with today’s youth and those of us that read the books we all expected that. I’d hate for it to be all jellybeans and gum drops it would make me sick and I’d know it was a fake, at least these were very close to the book. Agree?

Robert Mulligan, director of To Kill a Mockingbird, died last week in his home. It seems he had heart disease and it finally got to him. He’ll forever be remembered for his great work in Mockingbird. 

It seems Nicole Kidman is having a bit of bad luck with her new movie, “Australia.” Now I’m reading no one seems to be downloading “Australia.” Course is that really a bad thing, at least they know that it isn’t being pirated and either it is being watched or bought.

In case you didn’t see the answer to last week’s Movie Star Trivia Thursday, here’s the answer: Twilight

This week: What is Leonardo DiCaprio’s middle name? (correct spelling please)

Hi, I’m going to introduce you to movie star trivia Thursday. Think you know your movie stars? Okay gear up some will be easy, some won’t.

He once had to bite a girl’s neck.

(fairly easy one)

With ‘Revolutionary Road’ just finished filming now Leonardo is moving on to more movies. He’s already been picked for three new movies: Shutterland, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, and The Chancellor Manuscript. Now each one comes out a year later so I’m guessing if he really wanted to he could put something else between each. Can you picture how busy he will be with press conferences and stuff?

EEEK! Can you believe it? This crazy mamma drama is actually thinking of having a sequel. I guess we all need to see what happened after the babies were born and growing up. Meryl Streep is really excited about it, course she wants the full reunion with all the guys from the cast.

She says, “Grand Mamma Mia! I like it! I’m up for doing a sequel, as long as you can get those fabulous boys back! It’s so gratifying it has been this phenomenon around the work. It says there’s an audience for something that appeals to a lot of women, something that might make them some money too.”

Okay not really but the two leading characters in Titanic have now reunited and I hear there are some sparks on the set. Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio have come together for “Revolutionary Road.”  There were scenes where they were making love and fighting, according to her own director, hubby, it was a bit awkward. I’m sure it was, here these two had sparks in the Titanic and once again they were sparking it up on the set. Eeek, I’d be a bit worried. But something tells me she isn’t leaving her spouse for a co-star, like someone else we know.  

Not that I think Robert Pattinson would mind being called that but I want to know your opinion. Do you think Robert Pattinson will be the next Brad Pitt? He’s a hottie and he too had been a vampire. What’ll be next for him, the world only knows.

Does he have what it takes?

ET caught the Twilight crowd last night making their fans scream.  Oh wow, you can’t tell me these guys don’t know where their fame comes from. When they heard their adoring fans screaming their names they had to come to their rescue. Robert Pattinson, aka Edward, was all smiles and even spoke to several of the fans. The guards stood close and the fans had to stay on the other side of the ropes but he got close enough to hug a few, laugh with them, take pictures and even signed some autographs.

Course the rest of the cast stayed far away from the crowds, Taylor of course blew them all a kiss.
