Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper talk up All About Steve
September 4, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I’m just heading out to see “All About Steve,” the romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, and Thomas Haden Church. I’ll report back later with a review – I hope it’s good!
In the meantime, here’s a little video from ReelzChannel with the stars talking up the movie.
All About Steve is all about the red carpet premiere
September 1, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
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 …read more
Duplicity hits DVD, Video on Demand this week
August 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I loved “Duplicity,” because it’s like a throwback to all of those great film noir flicks of the 1940’s, 50s and 60s, with the sexual tension and rat-a-tat banter between Clive Owen and Julia Roberts.
The story is all about corporate intrigue, spies and secrets, but it’s more light-hearted than you might think at first glance. Instead of missiles and terrorists, we’re dealing with something more benign, along the lines of body lotion, hair gel and pizza crust. The great Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti also star in this fun caper, written and directed by Tony Gilroy.

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman rehearse The Baster
April 30, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Yes, it’s a movie about a turkey baster. Specifically, a turkey baster which Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) turns to in order to get pregnant. She’s unmarried and 40-something, and running out of time.
But seven years later, it all goes either oh-so-wrong or oh-so-right when it turns out that her best friend Wally (Jason Bateman) replaced the sperm sample with his own!
Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck (co-directors on “Blades of Glory”), on a screenplay by Allan Loeb (”21″), “The Baster” is set for a 2010 release date. Here’s a photo with the two leads rehearsing on the movie set. I …read more
Duplicity Review – Julia Roberts and Clive Owen score with sexual chemistry
March 23, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Movie: Duplicity * Trailer * Official Site
In Theaters: March 20, 2009
Runtime: 125 minutes
Directed by: Tony Gilroy
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for language and some sexual content
Gecko Rating:
I’ve been excited to see “Duplicity” since I first heard about it. Not only does it pair Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in a movie with lots of snappy banter and intrigue (they did “Closer” together in 2004), but it also teams them with Tony Gilroy.
Gilroy earned a place in my heart with films like “Michael Clayton,” which he wrote and directed, and the “Bourne” movies, for which he wrote the screenplay. He also wrote …read more
"New in Town" Review
February 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Movie: "New in Town" * Trailer * Official Site
In Theaters: Jan. 30, 2009
Runtime: 96 minutes
Directed by: Jonas Elmer
MPAA Rating: PG for language and some suggestive material
Gecko Rating:
Sometimes you just need a nice, non-scandalous romantic comedy to set things right in your world. "New in Town" is just that movie. There’s nothing too remarkable about it, but the characters are cute, the dialogue is fun, and the ending beautifully predictable.
"New in Town" stars Renee Zellweger as Lucy Hill, an uptight, corporate suit with a big company in Miami. Lucy is given the task of going to the frigid town …read more
"All About Steve" – Sneak Peek – VIDEO
January 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
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.
Harrison Ford in for "Morning Glory"
December 17, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
You know, that Harrison Ford really kicks ass, doesn’t he? And I don’t mean in an “Indiana Jones” kind of way – I mean when great actors continue to make movies as they get older. Not that he’s old or anything – he’s only 66, for cripes sakes – but I’m just really glad he’s still making movies, because he’s always been a favorite of mine.
Now he’s signed to play a TV personality in “Morning Glory,” a Paramount comedy that revolves around a morning talk show. Rachel McAdams is in final negotiations to star, as well.
Roger Michell (“Venus”) is …read more
"House Bunny" Anna Faris Lines up Two Projects
December 5, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
I can’t say that “The House Bunny” was my favorite movie of the year, but Anna Faris is so cute and sweet, it’s hard not to come away with a good feeling in your heart.
Now she’s lined up two projects. One is a romantic comedy called “20 Times a Lady.” Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan wrote the script, based on the book by Karyn Bosnak. It centers on a woman who journeys through her sexual past in an effort to find Mr. Right, wondering if a person’s sexual quota matters. I’m thinking of that scene in “Four Weddings …read more
