The Lost in Translation Final Scene Whisper Revealed? Eh, Maybe.
Remember that scene at the end of Sofia Coppola’s magnificent 2003 lost-in-Japan movie “Lost in Translation” with Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson)? Remember that last scene, when Bob tracks Charlotte down in the Tokyo streets, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, he grabs her and whispers something into her [...]

Well it looks like all our worst fears regarding the Writers Strike has come to fruition: the studios have said “screw’em” and are digging in their heels. Which will translate into TV becoming a vast wasteland of crappy Reality TV programming, and on the big screen — well, it’s still unclear about the big screen. [...]

I’ve made no secret that, while I don’t particularly dislike the Bourne movies, I do think they should never have kept Robert Ludlum’s name attached to the project. They should have just called it “Guy Loses Memory, Kills People” or whatever, because the franchise has diverged so far away from Ludlum’s books that it’s a [...]

Oh, those wacky Mainland Chinese. If they’re not doing something silly like banning the innocuous “Rush Hour 3″ for daring to have Chinese villains, they’re banning Hollywood, period. That’s the news from Variety, who reports that the Chinese ban came from the communist country’s Propaganda Ministry. (Geez, is it me or am I the only [...]

Well it’s official. After a week of wooing and selling, the producers of the political thriller “State of Play” have finally gotten their man: Russell Crowe has officially signed on to join the film, replacing Brad Pitt, says Variety.

To absolutely no one’s surprise, “Beowulf” continued its strong Friday showing by taking the 3-day weekend box office with a combined $28, enough to give it king of the hill status. Other first weekend openers performed reasonably well, with the Natalie Portman children’s movie “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” coming in at fifth place with $10 [...]

Well good luck with that, kids, because according to the guys over at TwitchFilm, Jaa and “Ong Bak” director Prachya Pinkaew’s highly anticipated re-teaming [...]

He … is … Beowulf! And he’s taken the Friday box office, clearing $9.7 million after opening wide in 3,153 theaters across the country. The film, which stars motion-captured animated versions of Angelina Jolie, Ray Wise, and Robin Wright Penn, is scheduled to do pretty well over its 3-day weekend debut, if past successes are [...]

I love the idea of a Justice League of America movie (or whatever they end up calling it, probably minus the “America” part, Hollywood being what it is), but nothing I’ve seen or heard about the movie so far — including all those script “leaks”, the decision to make a man in his ’60s the [...]

Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson play sisters who join forces to seduce Eric Bana in Justin Chadwick’s historical drama “The Other Boleyn Girl”. Well, not really. Yes, they play sisters, but they’re competing for the role of mistress to Eric Bana’s King Henry VIII. The drama is described as “sumptuous” and “sensual”, which brings up [...]

Haven’t heard a whole lot about Diane Lane’s “Untraceable” — as in, haven’t heard anything about it at all — but it sounds like a good movie with some potential thrills to be had. How could it not, when you add Diane Lane to a serial killer movie? You don’t normally associate Diane Lane with [...]
