Sandra Bullock Snags A Sweetheart Deal
(March 08, 2010)
Making
a big comeback is every fallen star’s dream. Well, that or
appearing on a
degrading reality show about their drug addiction, or a still
more degrading reality show about how they’re coping with being
turned away from Tony Danza’s parties.
This weekend,
Sandra Bullock
was on a rampage, having won every significant actress award
(including the Oscar) for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a
sweet-hearted, hard-as-nails Memphis mother, in The Blind
Side. And she won still two more Razzies for her wretched
work in All About Steve. |

Polanski ‘Doesn’t Do Anything On A Whim’
(March 8, 2010) She hasn’t given up her role as uber-cougar –
this summer, she’ll reprise the part of
Samantha in a second Sex and the City film. But
Kim Cattrall
isn’t just a pop princess. She’s currently getting raves for her
performance in Noel Coward’s Private Lives on stage in
London’s West End. And then there’s her turn as what she
describes as a “Hitchcockian icy blonde” in
The Ghost Writer. |

Why These Were The Worst Oscars Ever
(March 08, 2010) Worst.
Oscars.
Ever.
Yes, I know I’ve said this before. But the Academy keeps coming
up with new lows.
That scowl on George Clooney’s face during the Academy Awards
telecast Sunday night would have said it all, except for one
thing: it was completely fake. |

A Prophet: Bright Star Emerges From Bleak Prison Drama
(March 5, 2010) Anyone who believes in the corrective potential
of prison life is guaranteed to be plunged into despair by
A Prophet,
a commanding new film by genre master Jacques Audiard.
Corruption is as thick as the grime that covers the seedy French
prison where much of the movie's brisk 2 1/2 hours unfolds. The
place is so rife with collusion, with guards allowing favoured
criminals free reign, it's almost as comical as an old
Hogan's Heroes episode – except nobody's laughing. |
