Leo DiCaprio Gives Good Freak Out


Leo DiCaprio will not be outdone by Nic Cage. He can scream, rant, and rave with the best of ‘em. In this video montage (language NSFW, so put on headphones), we get to see Leo at his dramatic screaming best. We also get a glimpse of young, adorable “Basketball Diaries” Leo–my favorite!

First Look: The Poster For Mel Gibson’s “The Beaver,” Which Will Probably Never Hit The Big Screen

One of the victims of Mel Gibson’s fall from grace after being caught on tape threatening ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva? The Jodie Foster-directed “The Beaver,” which stars the racial slur-shouting actor. The film’s release has been put on indefinite hiatus as a result, but a poster for the film has made it onto the internet. The words written on the index card in Mel’s hand indicate his character is just as looney as he is. [ONTD] Keep reading »

Will Natalie Portman Star In An “Alien” Prequel?

The “Alien” movies are among my favorite films, and now there’s a rumor being bandied about in Hollywood and beyond that Natalie Portman may be taking on a role in an “Alien” prequel. Supposedly, she’s the actress favored by director Ridley Scott, although there’s no word out yet on who Portman might play in the sci-fi flick. Scott says the prequel will be a dark one: “The film will be really tough, really nasty. It’s the dark side of the moon.” It seems unlikely Portman would play a young Ripley, seeing as she looks nothing like Sigourney Weaver and is about a foot shorter, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Possibly The Most Elaborate Proposal Ever

On the one hand, this proposal video from a guy who calls himself “MysteryGuitarMan” is super cute, “aw”-inducing and completely next level. A fake movie trailer? Starring UFC champ Chuck Lidell? That’s pretty impressive! On the other hand, this guy proposed to his girlfriend WITH SUNGLASSES ON. What? No! If you’re going to be doing some proposing, you owe it to your lady to at least look her in the eye. Either way, this video is definitely worth watching. Keep reading »

Very Important Casting Updates For “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”

The cast of David Fincher’s upcoming version of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” based on the amazing Stieg Larsson novel, is starting to come together! Daniel Craig has been confirmed as the sexy, coffee-addicted, investigative journalist, Mikael Blomkvist. And yesterday it was announced that Stellan Skarsgård (of “Angels & Demons”) would be joining the cast as Martin Vanger. But who will play Erika Berger and Lisbeth Salander? Keep reading »

Abortion Clinic Documentary “12th & Delaware” Debuts Tonight On HBO

A few weeks ago, I was privileged to attend a screening of “12th & Delaware,” a new documentary that screened to critical acclaim at Sundance and debuts tonight on HBO at 9 p.m. (EST). The film examines the fight over reproductive rights in the United States though the lens of an abortion clinic and a so-called “crisis pregnancy center,” which are located across the street from one another in Fort Pierce, Florida. The abortion clinic, which is constantly picketed by protesters, operates under high security and the doctor is driven to and from work every day with a blanket over his head. Meanwhile, the Pregnancy Care Center is run by anti-choicers who purposefully named their business to sound like an abortion clinic and purposefully opened up shop near an abortion clinic to confuse women seeking to end a pregnancy.

Daniel Craig Cast In “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”

Daniel Craig has officially been cast as journalist Mikael Blomkvist in the U.S. movie version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” based on the first book in the Stieg Larsson series. I give this casting my stamp of approval, not that they asked. He is just sexy-ugly enough to play the surprising ladies’ man. The character of Lisbeth Salander is still uncast, but after seeing “The Runaways” this weekend, I am praying for one thing and one thing only — please God, not Kristen Stewart. I also watched the Swedish version of “Dragon Tattoo” and was blown away by the performances of both of the lead actors, particularly the woman who plays Lisbeth, Noomi Rapace. I wish she could speak English and play Lisbeth in the American film too — and then win the Oscar. She’s that good. [L.A. Times] Keep reading »

Quotable: Drew Barrymore Turns The Tables On Justin Long

“It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, bitch. The tables are turned!’”

Drew Barrymore has a laugh about Justin Long‘s nude scene in their upcoming comedy, “Going The Distance.” I’m bummed these two broke up — I hope promoting the movie brings them back together! [Nylon] Keep reading »

Trailer Park: “Salt,” “Ramona And Beezus,” “Life During Wartime,” “Countdown To Zero”

When you’re still in school, the summer seems to arch into this glorious never-ending sunset; while in adulthood, it’s more like a few months where it’s a bit hotter and maybe you drink slightly more often. This is why you have to take miniature vacations for yourself, despite the fact that you might not have enough money to actually go anywhere. Movies are my solution because it’s good to get out of my head sometimes and it’s a helluva lot safer than a lobotomy. This week, “Salt,” “Ramona and Beezus,” “Life During Wartime,” and “Countdown to Zero” are your mind vacation options. Don’t forget to pack snacks! Keep reading »
