Boo! And I mean “boo” in the Halloween sense, not in the “opposite-of-hooray” sense. The multiplexes have plenty of films geared toward this sacred holiday season, but so do the art houses! The Indie Spotlight is here to tell you what’s opening in limited release this weekend, and there are a couple of frightfests in the mix. Just because it’s not on 3,000 screens doesn’t mean it can’t scare the skittles out of you.
Here’s the lineup today: Able Danger, Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Dad, Eden Lake, The First Basket, The Matador, The Other End of the Line, and Splinter. And here’s the lowdown on each of them, in my own highly subjective order of preference.
Heidi Montag is OFFICER BUSTY JONES
October 31, 2008
These are photos of Heidi Montag decked out for Halloween, and while I dodged a bullet yesterday, there’s no way I’m not posting this latest set to hit my desk. Chins McJugs dressed up as a slutty cop? That’s everything this site stands for. When The Superficial Writers came over on the Mayflower trying to touch some Pilgrim boob, we dedicated ourselves to celebrating giant mammary glands regardless of race, creed or vapid C-wordiness. That said, I tried to leave Spencer out of these pics as much as possible. Mostly because I’m an artist and want to make sure you guys capture the inner beauty of these photographs. (Read: Heidi Montag’s big, stupidly fake breasts.) Trick or Treat!
First ‘Angels & Demons’ Images: Tom Hanks’ Hair Is All Better Now
October 31, 2008
Filed under: Action, Drama, New Releases, Remakes and Sequels
If you recall nothing else about The Da Vinci Code, surely you remember that Tom Hanks sported a ghastly mullet in it. So the important thing to know about Angels & Demons, the follow-up that’s due out Might 15, is that Hanks’ hairstyle has been corrected. So that’s a relief.
Adrien Brody Becomes ‘The Courier’
October 30, 2008
Filed under: Action, Casting, Deals, Scripts
After getting the chance to run through the world of heists and intrigue in The Brothers Bloom (wonderfully, I might add), Adrien Brody is getting into the underworld delivery business. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Mr. Brody is going to be pursued by cops and crime bosses alike when he stars in a new action flick called The Courier.
As the story goes, Brody will play “a daredevil courier trying to deliver a briefcase to an underworld figure who can’t be found.” Is he a daredevil for the ways he delivers packages, or a daredevil for taking on work from crime bosses? That remains to be seen. But the writing duo of Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (who helped out on both the 3:10 to Yuma and Wanted scripts) have written the screenplay and Russell Mulcahy is directing.
Linda Hogan carries her 19-year-old boyfriend’s skateboard for him
October 30, 2008
Here’s Linda Hogan at LAX this day with her man-child lover Charley Hill. I love how she’s carrying his skateboard through the terminal as if to state “Sure, I bang kids straight out of high school, but I’m a still a mom.” On that note, I hope Linda remembered to pack his GameBoy and juice box, or she’s going to have an unhappy camper on her hands. (Double entendre NOT intended I’m throwing up in my mouth now.) UPDATE: Make that the keyboard u0916u9jmkl;m;l,/;;;;-0pk[’
Review: Changeling

(Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling” begins its platform release this weekend, so we’re offering a reprint of our Cannes review from last Might.)
Traci Bingham loves democracy
October 29, 2008
If you’re wondering why Traci Bingham is popping up a lot lately, it’s because she’s currently starring on FOX’s Gimme My Reality Show! which is a reality show where contestants compete to be on, holy shit, their own reality show. I’m nowhere near high enough to contemplate how that concept hasn’t ripped a hole in the fabric of space. Anyway, Traci stopped by Mr. Bones’ Pumpkin Patch yesterday where she deployed her sole campaign tactic/vocational skill: Pushing her tits together. Somewhere, Sarah Palin is telling John McCain “I don’t care if it makes the Baby Jesus cry, I am doing that shit tonight. Oh, hockey sticks, he flat-lined. MEDIC!”
More ‘Star Trek’ Images Revealed

Thankfully, this time around the images aren’t spread clear across these internets on several different sites. Nope, this time the new Star Trek photos come courtesy of those nuts over at Empire, who’ve revealed two new stills from the film (one of which you can see above), as well as a cover featuring the new Kirk and Spock. I especially like the image they threw together below — re-creating that classic Kirk and Spock pose with the newbies, played by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
Casting Bites: Signs, Drool, and More!
October 29, 2008
Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Independent, Casting
As we come out of the weekend, Juno’s dad and Claire Fisher’s conservative boyfriend are teaming up for a new film. The Hollywood Reporter posts that J.K. Simmons and Chris Messina are joining Jessica Alba in An Invisible Sign of My Own. Described as an Amelie-style film, the indie “follows the transformation of a sheltered, math-obsessed teacher when a new science instructor arrives at her school.” No word on who Simmons and Messina will play, but does it really matter when we’ve Alba not only taking over the whimsical shoes of Audrey Tatou, but also trying to be a math nerd? Strrrange casting!
And have you ever wondered what Thelma & Louise would’ve been like had they driven all over the place with a corpse? THR also posts that Laura Harring, Jill Marie Jones, and Oded Fehr have signed on to star in a new dark comedy called Drool. Basically, Harring will play an abused wife who accidentally kills her husband (Fehr) as she plans to leave her “better” half with the help of her friend (Jones). What does she do? She decides to “drive the body cross-country.” That just doesn’t sound sanitary.
