Posted by MSN Entertainment: Top Celebrities on March 16th, 2008Heidi Montag
Posted by MSN Entertainment: Top Celebrities on March 16th, 2008One of the many "instant celebrities" who achieved fame by virtue of the reality-television phenomenon that overtook Hollywood during the early years of the millennium, Heidi Montag attained stardom on The Hills (2006). This program -- a spin-off of the earlier Laguna Beach (2004) -- observed events from the lives of a couple of young L.A. socialites (Montag and Lauren Conrad) enduring the ups and downs of a melodramatic reality television life, with all of the inclusive breakups, ugly gossip, backbiting,...

Posted by Mr. Shrek on March 16th, 2008
Hilarious director Judd Apatow recently spoke with MovieWeb about the upcoming Owen Wilson comedy, Drillbit Taylor. Here’s an excerpt:
Who are some of your favorite on-screen bullies, and did you pull anything from them and reflect that back into this film?
Judd Apatow: Matt Dillon. His first couple of film roles were as a bully. I loved him in My Bodyguard. He was really charismatic and handsome, and terrifying all in one. I also love the bully in Three O’Clock High. The Phil Joanou movie. My buddy Paul Feig was an actor in that film. He was the creator of Freaks and Geeks.
I remember when I first met Paul, he told me he was in Three O’Clock High, which had just came out. This was the most exciting thing that I had ever heard. That he played one of the kids in Three O’Clock High. But other than that, I don’t know. I’m not sure. I think Alex Frost, who plays the bully in this, and he is in this new movie Stop Loss, is a great actor. He is both scary and funny.
We also have Josh Peck from the Drake & Josh show on Nickelodeon. He plays the other school bully, and he is a pretty funny kid. He does some interesting, demented stuff in this movie.

Andy Serkis Speaks on Tintin, Peter Jackson
Posted by Mr. Shrek on March 16th, 2008Actor Andy Serkis recently discussed his upcoming film project, Tintin, along with a pair of fairly well-known directors involved with it.
Are you going to be reuniting with Peter Jackson again for Tintin?
Andy Serkis: In fact tomorrow I’m flying out to start on Tintin. Steven Spielberg is directing the first one, and then Peter Jackson is doing the second. The bulk of the shoot starts in September, but things got a little bit moved around after the writers’ strike.
Do you feel a special kinship with him?
Andy Serkis: Yeah, I mean at the moment he’s doing The Lovely Bones at the moment, which I think is going to be amazing. But we do seem to be in sync, certainly in terms of collaborating and creating characters and so on. I think we have a similar sense of humour about things, so yeah we do seem to have fused in a particular way.

Sarah Jessica Parker Comments on Sex and the City Movie Trailer
Posted by Mr. Shrek on March 16th, 2008
As soon as the trailer for Sex and the City: The Movie was released, fans hit the message boards with questions.
Were Carrie and Big getting married? What’s going on with Charlotte and a baby? How much sex would Samantha be having?
Regarding the preview Sarah Jessica Parker said the spot aimed to tell some of the story without giving away too much.
“We also knew that people would make decisions about what that trailer meant and what those words meant and who knows what order we put it in and why,” the actress added. “I think in large part we did it because photographs had already [leaked] out and so people were telling us the movie that we were making — which was wonderful, but no one has yet told us actually the story that we’re telling. So it’s all out there in the trailer, but it’s not really the story.”
Does that mean that there were fake-outs in the trailer? Were fans duped?
“Um, yeah, there are fake-outs. I mean, not like a bait-and-switch — people aren’t going to come to the theater and feel hoodwinked or taken advantage of. We just had to be careful because it’s a movie with an ending that we wanted to keep protected.
So we had to be a little clever and a little stealth with the trailer, but we also had to give people a trailer. It’s not enough to just give you the images and music — I would be perfectly fine with that, but apparently that’s not acceptable!”

Solomon and Sheba
Posted by Yahoo! Movies: New DVD Releases Next Week on March 16th, 2008
Yul Brynner stars as the legendary figure of the Bible in King Vidor's only contribution to this popular 1950s genre. When aged King David (Finlay Currie) has a vision from God telling him that Solomon should succeed him as ruler of the Israelites, David heeds His word. This angers his martial brother, Adonijah (George Sanders), who threatens to wrest the throne from his younger brother. Israel thrives under the reign of the wise king, and its success creates uneasiness among the powerful kingdoms of the region. The pharaoh conspires with Sheba (Gina Lollobrigida), granting her access to the Red Sea that she might beseige Solomon with her charm, thereby luring the ruler to his doom. Solomon is dazzled by the queen's beauty and quickly falls under her sway. As the king's attention is turned away from the Lord and the welfare of his people, the country begins to deteriorate. The Lord finally expresses his displeasure with the prevailing atmosphere of licentiousness by destroying the Temple of Jehovah. The chastened Solomon grasps the error of his ways, and a transformed Sheba decides to convert to Judaism. SOLOMON AND SHEBA is the great director's final film, and while it might not be up to the standard he set with DUEL IN THE SUN, THE BIG PARADE, and THE CHAMP, it has an undeniably entertaining camp value that makes it worth watching. (2 hrs. 19 min.)
