neeson harris Ed Harris Replaces Liam Neeson in What’s Wrong With Virginia

Nothing is ever as simple as it should be. Due to Liam Neeson’s recent lose of his wife, Ed Harris will be taking over his role in Dustin Lance Black’s upcoming film What’s Wrong With Virginia according to Collider. Although the reason behind Neeson having to step down from the role is horrible, if anyone could fill his shoes it’s Ed Harris. Both men are amazing actors who have been around for a long time, so aside from the sad news, I’m rather excited to see what Harris can do with the role.

sean penn milk Penn Wants You to Join the Courage Campaign

As we all know the U.S. government, specifically California has been under fire for their refusal to recognize gay, bi-sexual, and transgender marriages. Once Proposition 8 was passed in the state last November, several organizations immediately went to work to appeal the decision. Since then it’s been an uphill battle, but many celebrities and other’s of influence have tried to do what they can to help obtain equality for all effected. Last year’s biopic Milk, which earned Sean Penn his second Academy Award, mirrored similar struggles of today’s gay community more than 30 years after Harvey Milk’s unfortunate death.

OSCARS: Best Picture!

slumdog millionaire OSCARS: Best Picture!

Surprise Surprise! Slumdog Millionaire SWEPT the Oscars with eight wins, including the highly anticipated award for Best Picture. With it’s outstanding ensemble cast, kick-ass soundtrack, and obviously genius direction by Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire just put India on the map!

It’s been an incredible year in story-telling. Every single Best Picture nominee (The Curious Case of Bemjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, Frost/Nixon, and Milk) was endearing and had incredibly relevant themes – each bringing something completely fresh to the table. In fact, any of these five films seem worthy of the award in my book.

Bravo to another brilliant year in film. And let’s start counting down ’til next February!

academy awards 2 OSCARS: Best Leading Actor/Actress

This year’s categories for Best Actor and Actress are, without a doubt, comprised of Hollywood’s elite. Despite predictions, with such an outstanding group of artists – how do you decide who’s performance merits the award every actor dreams of?

Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Melissa Leo, and Angelina Jolie represent some of the most powerful women in the film industry. But with an incredibly successful year starring in both Revolutionary Road AND The Reader, from her bathroom mirror with a shampoo bottle in place of a golden statue, to the stage at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles…

The MUCH deserved Oscars goes to: Kate Winslet!

johnnydepp08 12 03 Round Up: Depp in Rum Diary, Scream 4, Crazies Casting...

  • Is Hunter S. Thompson’s, The Rum Diary right for Johnny Depp? The details from the script include: “1960: Divorced alcoholic and struggling novelist Paul Kemp decides to kick around San Juan until his ship comes in… drinking gallons of rum and experimenting with LSD.” That sounds like something Depp would be great at! He’s developed a thing for rum hasn’t he? [FirstShowing]
  • Radha Mitchell joins Deadwood’s former sheriff Timothy Olyphant in George Romero’s 1973 horror remake of The Crazies. Good movie. Don’t fuck it up. [Empire]
  • Warner Bros. Entertainment is asking its departments to cut their budgets by at least 10 percent. Maybe the Watchmen stress is getting to them, maybe it’s the recession. Either way, cutbacks are here. [Variety]
