I watched In Bruges last week, and enjoyed it. It is said to be a good dark comedy movie - whatever it means - receiving 79% positive reviews in Rotten Tomatoes. The movie reminds me of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or True Romance. In comparison, In Bruges uses the word "fuck" (and its derivatives) 126 times (resulting 1.18 "fucks" per minute). That's still better compared to True Romance's 1.86 and Pulp Fiction's 1.58. I like most of the movies written or directed by Quentin T

Instead of trying to convince them that Winona Ryder really was the cool chick in the 80s, why not ask him or her about sites?

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Lost star Josh Holloway has joined the cast of the Polish brothers? new comedy, ?Stay Cool.? Who else will join him in the movie? It?s quite an interesting line-up! Holloway will co-star with Winona Ryder, Mark Polish, Sean Astin, Chevy Chase, Hilary Duff and Jon Cryer. The film, which begins shooting this month in California, revolves around a well-known author (Polish) who is forced to confront his high school crush Scarlet Smith (Ryder)

WHAT IS IT ABOUT? Simon Baker gets a list of 100 names. It is a list of everyone he has slept with, and will sleep with for the rest of his life. Since his fiance is only number 29, he decides to track down the other 70. Meanwhile, Death Nell (Winona Ryder) is a feminist vigilante, putting into a coma men who have wronged women. WHO MADE IT? Writer / director Daniel Waters is best known for writing the screenplay for HEATHERS. His previous writing / directing effort was the littl

Reports all over that Josh Holloway, who plays the unrepentant tough guy, low-life, hunk and sometime hero Sawyer on ABC's "Lost," has snagged a movie deal. THR says Holloway has been cast in the Polish Brothers new flick, "Stay Cool." Mark Polish stars as a successful author who goves back to his high school to give a graduation speech and faces an old crush, played by Winona Ryder. Holloway is Wino, the author's old friend, and something tells me he's the one who says "Stay Cool.

This isn't the 80's, and you're not starring in a remake of Working Girl. Or maybe she's going for the Winona Ryder in Heathers look? Either way, it's not working! But thankfully even Hilary knows that, when in doubt, just wear black. (All the couples are doing it!) Here she is with boyfriend Mike Comrie leaving Katsuya in Hollywood last night... Is that purple nail polish (in the second pic)? Kinda gives her drab outfit a little extra flair! Seriously, it's time for a new styli

So many candidates. 1. 88 Minutes. Gets the top spot because of the talent involved: Al Pacino is not merely a great actor, he?s a highly intelligent one. Could be a camp classic someday. 2. Jumper. Feels like something written in an 8th-grade introductory sci-fi writing class. Hayden Christensen is compiling a body of work that is steadily increasing the possibility that he will be crowned as the worst actor who ever lived. Special mention of the scene where a guy watches NY 1 N

Filed under: Comedy, Casting The guy is all sorts of recognizable due to his time as James 'Sawyer' Ford on Lost, but do you know that Josh Holloway is also the dude who got his start in Cryin'? Yes, he played the jerky guy who smiled and then stole Alicia Silverstone's bag, and she had to chase him down and give him a good kick. (Watch it above.) He's come a long way since purse stealing! Now The Hollywood Reporter posts that he's joined the cast of Stay Cool. This is the Polish

Here are the highlights of what is coming out on DVD tomorrow (Region 1 for now) and my brief thoughts and opinions on them.

80?s cult classic Heathers that inspired movies such as Mean Girls and Jawbreaker is celebrating it?s 20th anniversary with the release of a specialy edition dvd this Tuesday July 1st. Out of all the teenage films of the 80?s, Heathers is the one you have to see! Heathers is a dark comedy about four high school girls, three of them whom are named ?Heather? rule the school through intimidation and sex appeal. The film stars a very young cast made up of Winona Ryder, Christian Slate
