Here’s a new featurette for The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” in theaters Nov. 20, 2009 (check out our Twilight Groupie blog!). For those who haven’t read the books by Stephenie Meyer, it tells a little more about the mysterious Volturi.
They’re the oldest coven in the “Twilight” universe, and they’re the closest thing the vampires have to royalty. They also enforce the law and keep things in order. A few more bites:

Aro (Michael Sheen) is the most dangerous and deadly vampire.
Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) can sniff out treason.
Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) is perpetually angry.
Aro, Marcus and Caius are in charge, with Jane …read more

Some friends of mine were hoping to get to this, and it looks like it was loads of fun. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Say Anything,” people in trench coats holding boom boxes were seen around New York City earlier today.

The film starred John Cusack as mediocre student Lloyd Dobler, attempting to capture the heart of a beautiful valedictorian. Even if you’ve never seen the movie (you need to fix that right now), you’ve likely seen the picture of Cusack holding that iconic boom box over his head.

Movie: Amelia * Official Site
In Theaters: Oct. 23, 2009

Runtime: 111 minutes
Directed by: Mira Nair

MPAA Rating: PG for some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking
Gecko Rating:

I’m sort of hot and cold on Hilary Swank. There’s no doubt that she’s a great actress – she’s won two Oscars, after all (for “Million Dollar Baby” and “Boys Don’t Cry”). But there’s something about her that’s just a little annoying. I almost hesitate to say it, but she seemed to be over-acting in her portrayal of Amelia Earhart. I just wanted her to snap out of it and be a real …read more

A new clip from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” has been posted on MTV (and featured on their movie special, “Ulalume: Howling at New Moon”). The scene happens near the beginning of the movie and features the Cullen clan gathered for Bella’s birthday.
Alice (Ashley Greene) is the organizer of the event and the peacekeeper as she tries to smooth over Rosalie’s iciness towards Edward’s human girlfriend. Even so, things don’t go well and turn deadly when Bella cuts her finger, which gets Jasper’s (Jackson Rathbone) hunger up big-time.

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” isn’t even in theaters yet (Nov. 20, 2009), but we’ve got some title art for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.”
If you’re not attuned to the whole “Twilight” buzz, that’s the third book/movie in the franchise, and David Slade will direct it.
Stephenie Meyer has certainly taken lots of flack for her writing style, but no one can deny that she has a huge fan base, so more power to her.
Any thoughts on the “Eclipse” title art? It’s a little boring, but I guess they want the titles for all of the movies to be …read more

Here’s a new clip from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” in which Bella (Kristen Stewart) connects with the mysterious Volturi clan, learns something new about Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), and gets another protection vow from Edward (Robert Pattinson). The movie hits theaters Nov. 20, 2009.

Miley Cyrus and Kim Cattrall were recently spotted shooting a scene for “Sex and the City 2” (in theaters May 28, 2010), where they turn up for a movie premiere in the same outfit!
The premiere is for a film called “Heart of the Desert,” which appears to star Samantha’s boyfriend, Smith (Jason Lewis). “Sex and the City” designer Patricia Field said the dresses were by Matthew Williamson.
I can’t say I’m all that thrilled about the dresses – they look a little slutty – but I’m loving those boots! And Miley is tall, isn’t she? All grown up…

Fun to see some new clips from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” coming in. Here’s a brand new one from Summit Entertainment, in which Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) slaps Paul, and Jacob comes to her rescue.
Paul is played by Alex Meraz, a Native American Indian who’s had roles in “The New World” and the 2007 short, “Two Spirits: One Journey.” “New Moon” hits theaters Nov. 20, 2009. Check out the abs on these guys!

With Twitter going 24/7, and celebrities tweeting about everything from their latest hookup to what they had for lunch, you have to wonder how all of this is going down in their camps. It sort of takes the control away from their agents and publicists, and that can’t always be good.
WENN News is reporting that the head honchos of some movie companies are banning stars from joining Twitter, to prevent secret information from leaking out. The first victims: Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers. They’re set to star in another “Shrek” sequel, “Shrek Forever After,” next year.

Sometimes a little film comes along that grabs your emotions and won’t let go. Such is the case for “Cheri,” a period film with some of the best period actors around.
It takes place in the decadent world of Paris at the dawn of the 20th century. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Lea, a legendary courtesan who agrees to undertake the romantic education of Chéri (Rupert Friend), the 19-year-old son of a former rival (Kathy Bates).
Lea is 30 years older than Chéri and the former lover of some of France’s wealthiest and most powerful men. The last thing she expects is to …read more
