Nifty flix teaser poster: From Paris with Love

Luc Besson's new spy thriller's got a super cool looking teaser poster! It's so clever in its simplicity, yet so beautiful and elegant I can't take my eyes off it! The Eiffel tower icon is sort of cliche in a way but I don't mind it at all here, it's a bit James Bond-y. Could be …

Ledger had wanted out as Joker?

Well according to the Vanity Fair tribute to the late actor, that's exactly what he wanted. That comes as a surprise to me as his performance was so masterful that you'd think an actor of his caliber would've welcomed the opportunity to play such an outrageous character. But his friend/agent Steven Alexander told Vanity Fair's …

Conspicuous Trailer of the Week – The Informant!

For some it's watching Sex & the City or Entourage reruns, but for moi, one of my guilty pleasures is watching trailers. My are they fun, most are certainly better than the flix themselves.

Bale – always the second banana?

I read this article on Yahoo yesterday on why Johnny Depp is the only one on the poster of Public Enemies, but not Bale. The funny thing is, I've been wondering about that ever since I saw the first trailer. Sure, Depp is undoubtedly a very bankable star, but Bale just came out of the …
