All About Steve is all about the red carpet premiere

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:13:35 +0000

You can tell that people have this abiding love for Sandra Bullock, and that she can take it as well as dish it out. She just seems like she’d be a lot of fun, whether you’re working on a film or having a beer with her. And yeah, she definitely seems like a beer drinker rather than a frou-frou alcoholic beverage drinker.

Here, Bradley Cooper, her co-star in the upcoming “All About Steve,” talks about how tyrannical she is to work with, while Sandra explains that it’s impossible to explain the movie in 10 seconds. Makes sense to me. Go see the movie instead. It looks like good fun.

Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl share a romantic kiss

Jane Boursaw — Mon, 04 May 2009 05:51:19 +0000

Movie stars Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl shared a romantic kiss recently on their set of their new movie "Five Killers." Directed by Robert Luketic, the story follows a woman who meets her "perfect" man while on vacation. The two get married but quickly realize that their neighbors back home might be assassins hired to kill the happy couple. Tom Selleck, Martin Mull, and Catherine O’Hara also star in the movie, set for a June 4, 2010 release.

Oh, and don’t worry. Accompanying Heigl and Kutcher to the French Riviera set were their spouses, so I’m sure there were no offset shenanigans taking place. And if I was a body language expert, I’d say she’s way more into this kiss than he is.

"G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" Super Bowl Spot

Jane Boursaw — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:52:52 +0000

A teaser trailer for "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" aired during the Super Bowl tonight, and it looks like a fun action flick. The story follows an elite military unit made up of special ops known as G.I. Joe (none of whom look like the G.I. Joe my brother use to play with when he was a kid). All heck breaks loose when they take on a notorious arms dealer. Directed by Stephen Sommers, it stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Brendan Fraser, Dennis Quaid, and Sienna Miller, and hits theaters Aug. 7, 2009. What do you think of the Super Bowl spot?

"Land of the Lost" Super Bowl Spot – VIDEO

Jane Boursaw — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:30:22 +0000

There have been some great movie spots during today’s Super Bowl, including "Land of the Lost," a Will Ferrell movie in theaters June 5, 2009.

Ferrell stars as a washed-up scientist who gets sent back to the stone age, along with his research assistant (Anna Friel) and a survivalist (Danny McBride). I’m sure the wacky antics will ensue as they’re chased by T-Rex’s and other Neanderthal creatures. Check it out:

"All About Steve" – Sneak Peek – VIDEO

Jane Boursaw — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 21:19:14 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Sandra Bullock in a movie. This one looks fun, though I’m still deciding whether I like her hair or not. It’s kind of cool, in a retro-chic-shag way. Here’s my big philosophical question of the day: Do you like Sandra’s hair or not? Tell me in the comments below!

In the meantime, here’s the trailer for her upcoming movie, "All About Steve." Bullock plays a brilliant, but eccentric crossword puzzle aficionado who’s convinced that a CNN cameraman (Bradley Cooper) is her one true love. In theaters March 6, 2009.

"Horton" director moves to "Jonah Hex"

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 09:32:56 +0000

Jimmy Hayward, who directed the animated "Horton Hears a Who!" will take a different turn with his next project. He’ll be directing the live-action "Jonah Hex" from Warner Bros.

Josh Brolin is attached to star in the western-centric film, which previously had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor ("Crank") on board as directors. The duo, who penned the script, bowed out over creative differences in November.

Hex is a DC Comics character known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform. He’s a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. There’s also a supernatural element to the character.

Quite the difference from "Horton"! And yeah, I can totally see Josh Brolin in that role.

"Jonah Hex" is scheduled for a 2010 release date.
