Tom Cruise arrives in Salzburg to film ‘Knight & Day’
November 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Tom Cruise arrived in Salzburg, Austria today to film “Knight & Day,” an action comedy co-starring Cameron Diaz. They play a fugitive couple on a glamorous (and sometimes deadly) adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem.
These two should make a good couple for an action film, and I’m sure there will be some fun romance in there, too. Hopefully lots of snappy dialogue reminiscent of the old-time spy movies. James Mangold directs the film, due in theaters July 2, 2010.
Cruise looks in tip-top form, doesn’t he?

November 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Starting to get some buzz about “Daybreakers” – yes, another vampire movie! Well, that’s fine with me. I love vampire movies.
This one stars Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019 investigating an unknown plague that’s transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out.
However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.

November 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Here’s the post for “Salt,” director Philip Noyce’s spy thriller due in theaters July 23, 2010.
Angelina Jolie stars as CIA officer Evelyn Salt, who swore an oath to duty, honor and loyalty – a loyalty that’s seriously tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. So she goes on the run, using all those CIA skills and experience as a covert operative to elude capture.
What do you think of the poster? She’s got the steely stare down pat, doesn’t she? Oh, those lips!

Taylor Lautner: Chris Weitz was always supportive
November 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Before it was confirmed that Taylor Lautner would return as Jacob Black in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” there were some dark times at the end of 2008. But he says he tried to focus on things he could control, rather than being sucked into the black hole of what was going on.
"Chris [Weitz] was always extremely supportive and I was glad to have him behind me," Lautner says. He is such a cutie! And I’m like some lovelorn Twi-hard teeny-bopper!
“New Moon” hits theaters in three days. Have you got your tickets? I do!
Gone With the Wind celebrates 70th anniversary
November 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I wasn’t around when “Gone With the Wind” was released in 1939, but thankfully, I had an opportunity to see it on the big screen, as our downtown theater — the State Theatre in Traverse City, Michigan — played it when I was in high school. That same theater is playing it again to celebrate the film’s 70th anniversary.
On Friday, Nov. 13, 2009, Warner Home Video staged their own Flash Mob, as 70 couples in period costumes celebrated the film’s anniversary by dancing “The World’s Largest Virginia Reel” in the historic Marietta Georgia Town Square.
And get this. Four original …read more
Dakota Fanning talks ‘New Moon’ and Vampires on Ellen
November 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Dakota Fanning stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show to plug “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” as well as show a new clip. That Ellen is such a prankster, though; she pulled a little vampire switch on Dakota (who’s totally grown up now!). “New Moon” hits theaters this Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.
‘Death Race: Frankenstein Lives’ in the works
November 15, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Were you blown away by the vehicle carnage that was Paul Anderson’s “Death Race,” but felt it was sadly lacking in the pedestrian killing and social satire of the original Roger Corman film? Unfortunately, you probably won’t get it in the follow-up prequel “Death Race: Frankenstein Lives” either.
The Plot: Newly arrived at Terminal Island, a prison for the most nonredeemable of convicts, Carl “Luke” Lucas must prove his mettle in a race to the death.
Since Jason Statham drove off with Tyrese Gibson, the producers are seeking an actor to wear the Frankenstein mask, as well as the female …read more
Ninja Assassin: Preview & 8 Clips
November 15, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
“Ninja Assassin” has been getting a lot of buzz lately. It premiered at the Austin Fantastic Fest in September, and Vancouver International Film Festival in October. It opens wide in theaters on Nov. 25, 2009.
I’m thinking it must have some pretty good stunts, and it’s written by one of my favorite screenwriters, J. Michael Straczynski (“Babylon 5”), which makes it ripe for a TV series!
It also looks like the kind of movie that’s going to make me want to go home and do a couple of sit-ups – until the feeling quickly passes.
“Ninja Assassin” tells the …read more
