Interview: Columbus Short Lets Down His Guard in ‘Armored’
13 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Meeting with Columbus Short is encountering a true force of nature. Focused, intent and with a varied perspective, this up-and-coming young actor and performer has the centerpiece role in the new film, “Armored.”
Columbus plays Ty Hackett, an Iraq War veteran who takes a job with an armored car company to care for his 14 year-old brother after their parents die. After going through initial training, an obsessive co-worker reveals a surefire way to stage a robbery and split the cash among all the participants.
Ty is initially reluctant to join in, but the financial pressures eventually allow him to relent. The pick-up of the cash goes smoothly, but an unexpected interruption throws the operation into a tailspin. What happens next becomes more than the money, and has implications that will change everyone involved.

Pete Doherty Wanted To Write Like “Frank Sinatra or Barry White-style hit”
3 December 2009 1:47 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The troubled Babyshambles rocker is always striving to write an epic pop song and believes he has finally achieved his ambition with a new track called ‘After He’. He told NME magazine: “It’s a f***ing belter. It hasn’t really got a title but we’re calling it ‘After He’ for now. “Well Mik Whitnall, years ago, when we first started writing together, he took me aside and said, ‘Look, if we’re really going to bother with this we’re going to have to come up with a ‘My Way’ or something. Like a f**k off big Frank Sinatra or Barry White style, one-off, big hit. “I’ve been trying and I’ve had a couple that have come close. ‘Albion’ was good. I felt that was quite big, but this could be the one.” The singer also spoke about how embarrassed he was when he met one of his heroes, »

Greg DePalma, Pal Of Sinatra and Willie Mays, Dies In Prison
30 November 2009 8:02 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Gregory DePalma, a colorful, self-assured wiseguy whose loyal mob soldier status will be forever tarnished because he was suckered into proposing a Cuban-born FBI undercover agent for induction into the Gambino family, has died a lonely death behind bars. He was 77. DePalma became a "made man" during the reign of the late Paul Castellano. His biggest claim to Mafia fame was his presence in the famous arm-around snapshot with Big Paul, Carlo Gambino and Frank Sinatra backstage at the old Westchester Premiere Theatre. Over the years, DePalma had many superstar celebrity friends. In addition to Sinatra, they included Dean Martin, Leroy Neiman, Liza Minnelli and the great New York Giants' center fielder, Willie Mays -- with whom DePalma played golf for many years at the Westchester Country Club. DePalma predicted at his sentencing in 2006 that he would not survive the... »

Dogtooth by Giorgos Lanthimos (top); Mo’Nique in Precious (middle); Edgar Flores in Sin Nombre (bottom) In Giorgos Lanthimos‘ Dogtooth, winner of the 2009 Stockholm Film Festival’s Bronze Horse for best film, a patriarch (Christos Stergioglou) tries to shield his cloistered wife (Michelle Valley) and two daughters (Aggeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni) from the outside world. Apart from selected home video entertainment and Frank Sinatra records — the girls believe that’s grandpa singing — they live in total sociocultural isolation. Then enters a female outsider to burst that bizarre family bubble. Lanthimos co-wrote the screenplay with Efthymis Filippou. "An exploration of the fine line between man and animal," reads Sebastian Lindvall’s film commentary, "Dogtooth leaves us wondering if society as we know [...] »

Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra in High Society Turner Classic Movies‘ Grace Kelly series comes to a close with a screening of the actress’ last three films: Alfred Hitchcock’s comedy-adventure To Catch a Thief (1955), co-starring Cary Grant; Charles Walters‘ musical High Society (1956), a remake of The Philadelphia Story (1940) with Kelly as the woman between Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby; and Charles Vidor’s romantic drama The Swan (1956), in which Kelly has to make up her mind between plebeian Louis Jourdan or blue-blooded Alec Guinness. I wouldn’t call any of those three films a masterpiece, but both To Catch a Thief and The Swan have their own particular charms. In the former, Grace Kelly is at her most relaxed as [...] »

The #1 single in the country got a royal introduction Sunday night (November 22) at the American Music Awards. New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez had the honor of telling the audience that Jay-z and Alicia Keys were taking the stage.
"It's been a great year for New York," A-Rod said. "We took the World Series ..."
Some people in the audience started to boo — after all, the awards are taking place in Los Angeles, Dodger and Angel territory, and the Bronx Bombers defeated the Angels on their way to their World Series championship.
"I'm proud to present one of New York's finest, my friend Jay-z and Alicia Keys."

No magic wand for former spellcaster Melissa Joan Hart: The onetime star of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch has to rule over her real-life family with old-fashioned mom moves.
“It’s a crazy house right now,” she told People at Wednesday’s Lupus L.A. Bag Ladies Luncheon in Beverly Hills.
The mom of sons Mason, 3 ½, and Brady, 20 months, said that — what with a big move and her recent spin on Dancing With the Stars — it’s been a wilder ride than Halloween on a broomstick.

Robert Pattinson as Frank Sinatra?
22 November 2009 1:20 AM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
Robert Pattinson did a pretty decent job portraying a vampire in Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" saga, so why wouldn't he be able to take on the role of the legendary Frank Sinatra? I'll tell you why...because he's not that great of an actor. Of course, it doesn't matter what I think. The British hunk (I never said he didn't look amazing) is going to do what he wants and will probably get to considering he's reached superstar staus. According to recent reports, the actor has his sights set on portraying the legendary Rat Pack singer. Inside, you can read a little about what Pattinson had to say. Also, be sure to check out the record breaking "Twilight: New Moon" which is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Robert Pattinson to Play Frank Sinatra?
21 November 2009 2:36 PM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
You have to give Robert Pattinson credit; he dares to dream big. The New Moon heartthrob, currently riding high on the runaway success of the Twilight sequel, has his sights set on a non-vampiric role next: that of Frank Sinatra, for Martin Scorsese's much-discussed biopic on the legendary singer. Says Pattinson, “I would like to play Frank Sinatra in Martin Scorsese’s film, but so does everyone. I’m a little too young, I can sing but I can’t do his voice. There is a lot of competition. I’m not into competition.” Sure. Then there's the whole not-looking-anything-like-Sinatra thing. And the whole being-British thing. But then, given... »

20 November 2009 4:23 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
I will be rushing out to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon, just as soon as I finish seeing every other film ever made first -- and Zombieland twice. Fortunately, as the father of two sons, absolutely no one is asking me to see New Moon, which I consider my richly deserved spiritual payback for sitting through all of those interminable Pokémon movies - each of which seemed to last as long as Shoah. And so for those out there waiting in some bloody line, here's my moon-themed playlist for you: Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival Everyone's Gone To The Moon - Jonathan King Song About The Moon - Paul Simon Fly Me To The Moon - Frank Sinatra C Moon - Paul McCartney The Moon's A Harsh Mistress - Jimmy Webb Here Comes The Moon - George Harrison Shoot The Moon - Emitt Rhodes Moonshadow... »

Supernatural 5.10 "Abandon All Hope" Recap
20 November 2009 12:12 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
We begin this week's Apocalyptic festivities in a rather non-conventional fashion as Crowley, the demon who Bela gave the Colt to (played by the always fabulous Mark Sheppard), seals a Crossroads deal with a kiss. Except it's with a fifty year old banker. Given the continued debate over the nature of the Crossroads Demons in 'Supernatural' lore, I find it incredibly entertaining. Castiel is peeping — I mean, spying on the deal and follows Crowley back to his posh home. He can't get in because the place is guarded by Enochian script, so he calls Sam and Dean.
.
That night, Jo, all dolled up in an adorable little black dress, plays the damsel in distress by ringing the gate bell and claiming her car broke down. Two of Crowley's demon lackeys try to wrangle her inside, but Sam and Dean ambush them. Wow. They have brains after all. I Missed It So Much. »

Farber on Film: Introduction, Part 3 (Farber Before Negative Space)
18 November 2009 7:43 AM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
You don’t necessarily think of Manny Farber as your Baedeker to the shadings and luridities of mainstay American movie acting, as a dab hand of the concise plot summary that uncoils into deft film critique, or associate him with audience recommendations and words like “marvelous,” “sensitive,” “poignant,” and “sparkling.” You particularly don’t think of Farber this way if your experience of his writing is confined to Negative Space. Yet consider three short illustrative moments from his many, sometimes-weekly film columns of the 1940s and '50s.
This is Farber on Frank Sinatra & Co. in From Here to Eternity for The Nation, August 29, 1953:
The laurel wreaths should be handed out to an actor who isn’t even in the picture, Marlon Brando, and to an unknown person who first decided to use Frank Sinatra and Donna Reed in the unsweetened roles of Maggio, a tough little Italian American soldier, »
