ROCKY VOTED THE NUMBER ONE SPORTS FILM

April 15th 2008 04:46

European DVD rental website LOVEFiLM.com has voted Rocky the number one sports film of all time. The 1976 classic film that stars Sylvester Stallone as heavyweight fighter Rocky Balboa beat hit 1994 comedy Cool Runnings into second place.

In third place was Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby where Hilary Swank played a female boxer battling to become a professional.

Fourth place was a tie between American football movie Jerry Maguire and Martin Scorsese's 1980 classic boxing tale Raging Bull. I would never have thought of Jerry Maguire as being a sports film, but I guess it was. All I think about is Tom Cruise yelling and jumping up and down, a bit like he did on Oprah's sofa.

Other top ten members were the Field of Dreams, White Men Can't Jump, Chariots of Fire and Escape to Victory.

I’m surprised Bend it like Beckham wasn’t in there with my favourite Keira Knightly.

NICOLE KIDMAN OFFERED NEW MUSICAL ROLE - NINE

April 14th 2008 04:23

It seems like we might be seeing Nicole Kidman in another singing role after her success in Moulin Rouge and her collaboration with Robbie Williams.

If Kidman does accept the role, she may appear alongside Penelope Cruz who dated Tom Cruise after his marriage split from Kidman.

The film, Nine, is a musical loosely based on Federico Fellini's 81/2, which tells the story of a director and the women in his life.

Federico Fellini (1920 –1993) was an Italian film director known for his distinctive, well-defined, unique style that meshed fantasy and baroque images. He is seen to have been one of the most influential and widely revered film-makers of the 20th century. His works won numerous awards, including four Oscars, two Silver Lions and a Palme d'Or.

Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, The Dancer Upstairs) has already accepted the leading role alongside Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, A Good Year).

Rob Marshall will be directing, his prior achievements being Chicago with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger.

LINDSAY NAKED - AGAIN

April 11th 2008 01:52

It seems that Lindsay’s Marilyn pictures have encouraged her to have further public nudity urges. Peek here if you haven't already seen them.

She is now reportedly set to play a sex-hungry waitress in upcoming low-budget film Florence. Sounds like her sort of gig.

If you’re interested, she’s been offered to bare all on screen for only $75,000. Is it cruel to say that’s cheap in many senses of the word?

Apparently, producers were happy for Lindsay to appear topless but she was keen to be completely naked to prove herself as a mature actress. Hmm, that’s an interesting way of affirming her acting worth...

According to a source: "She just wants to remind people that she can act and she’s worth hiring. She said it would be no problem to appear nude."

Well, we already know that!

FAT BOY PRANKS FAT BOY

April 4th 2008 14:13

Pretty hilarious clip, of a fat boy visiting the press set where Simon Pegg and director David Schwimmer sit.

I'm not sure if they knew about it, but it seems like they have no idea what's going on. Watch the trailer for Run Fat Boy Run here and the clip here

BRAD PITT – LOST CITY OF Z

April 2nd 2008 04:49

Percy Fawcett and Brad Pitt

I’ll admit it, I’m fickle. My initial interest in the film Lost City of Z stemmed from my lust for Brad Pitt. But as I always say, much knowledge can be gained from film-watching.

RUN FAT BOY RUN - RELEASE

March 24th 2008 11:56

The release of Run Fat Boy Run is getting near, so here you got the countdown and a game to play if you're excited about Simon Pegg in this new comedy.

I've watched and enjoyed it quite some, fun all the way and very fun at times. Pegg plays the awkward character perfectly well, you really want this pathetic "looser" to do well. You can either watch the trailer for Run Fat Boy Run through the widget or here

March 4th 2008 20:47

I am trying to contain my disdain so that I can write this post. It seems another remake is on the way - a modern-day version of the iconic classic Breakfast Club.

THE STRIKE COULD BE OVER SOON

February 4th 2008 21:34

Finally, the strike could be over soon. I know we’ve heard this sentence before, but it’s actually looking more concrete and promising. There’s no doubt there were legitimate reasons on both sides of the fence regarding the Writers’ Strike, but from a viewer’s point of view, it’s become quite an ordeal.
