I’m not too sure about Ricky Gervais’ hosting skills at the Golden Globes the other night. He sort of bombed out. And I even talked with him a few weeks before the event, and he said he’d be nice and have fun with it.
Well, here’s the thing. You can’t make fun of a bunch of people who are sitting right in front of you. So when he took potshots about Kiefer Sutherland’s anger management issues and Mel Gibson’s drinking, it didn’t seem that funny. Not funny at all, really. In fact, I thought maybe Kiefer was going to jump …read more

Did your favorites win a Golden Globe award last night? Although I loved “Avatar” and saw it twice, I’m really surprised it won in the Best Picture – Drama category. I really thought “The Hurt Locker” would take that award.
And … I have to say, I’m surprised that James Cameron won for Best Director, especially up against Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”), Clint Eastwood (“Invictus”), Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Quentin Tarantino (“Inglourious Basterds”).
But at least Jason Reitman won for Best Screenplay for “Up in the Air.” And I LOVE that “The Hangover” won in the Best Comedy …read more

QUICK TAKE: Love the setting of 1890s London, and Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams are all fantastic actors. But the storyline drags a bit in spots.
FULL REVIEW: I saw “Sherlock Holmes” yesterday with a theater full of Christmas moviegoers. I was surprised that so many people came out, but like me, they probably wanted to get their fill of Robert Downey, …read more

We always see a movie on Christmas Day, and this year, we’re planning on seeing “Sherlock Holmes.” For one thing, it’s rated PG-13, so it’ll be fine for my kids, 12 and 15. And it just looks like a fun movie.
Paul Byrne from Movies.ie talked with co-stars Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law about the homoerotic relationship between Holmes and Watson. Bromance to the max! Watch the trailer here.

"Iron Man 2" roars into theaters on May 7, 2010, and the Web’s all abuzz over a new trailer located at iTunes Movie Trailers.
The way it came about is pretty fun. A series of leaked photos and posters containing clues for the movie led a fan named "Mirko P from Houston" to piece the hints together and unlock the Web site Stark Secret Confession Revealed at approximately 3:08 PM PT Wednesday.
For the next hour, the site displayed a countdown indicating that the launch of a brand new trailer had been initiated. At 4:08 PM, the site began sending viewers …read more

“Iron Man 2” hits theaters May 7, 2010, and Paramount and Marvel officially released the teaser poster today, showing War Machine standing next to Iron Man. While I’m skeptical that the second movie will surpass the first in any way, shape or form, the poster does look pretty cool.
I’ve also heard that a teaser trailer will run in front of “Sherlock Holmes,” which arrives in theaters Dec. 25, 2009. Robert Downey, Jr. must be on some trip headlining all these great movies.
What do you think of the poster? I’m betting we’ll get to see character posters showing Whiplash …read more

The combination of Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams in the ultimate buddy movie set in Old World Europe is very enticing. It’s got everything, including plenty of action, romance and swashbuckling. Not to mention RDJ without a shirt. That’s what I call a movie.
“Sherlock Holmes” opens in theaters Dec. 25, 2009, and follows the adventures of the famed detective (Downey, Jr.) and his partner John Watson (Law).
