What are the best TV ads of the noughties?
1 December 2009 3:53 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Let us know the TV commercials that have stood out for you over the past decade
Looking back at the TV adverts of the past decade, it's difficult not to be struck by the creativity on show. Rather than the movie-influenced blockbuster ads of the 90s, much of the industry turned to quirky conceptual ideas. Advertisers also exploited the growing power of the web – not only did successful campaigns make their mark on TV, they also went viral.
Some relied on special effects, some relied on exhaustive preparation by art teams – but some of the best were just a clever idea, simply executed. Who would have guessed that a man in a gorilla suit playing the drums would have been one of the most talked-about ads of the decade?
Below are some of our favourite ads of the noughties – let us know what you think we've missed out.

Watch The Rock's 'Tooth Fairy' trailer, then 'fess up. Will you sit through it?
30 November 2009 9:25 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I am a sucker for a Dwayne Johnson kid film. I recently stumbled upon the end of The Game Plan on cable and did not turn the channel. That could explain why I'm loving the trailer for his latest film, Tooth Fairy. He plays the meanest man in hockey, who, after dashing a kid's dreams, is ordered to serve time in a satin-shirt-and-tights ensemble. Julie Andrews costars as some type of Tooth Fairy administrator, The Office's Stephen Merchant as some kind of watcher, and Billy Crystal as some sort of low-budge technology expert (shrinking paste, invisibility spray, Cat Away »

Julie Andrews To Sing Again
25 November 2009 3:19 PM, PST | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
In a startling announcement, Julie Andrews and concert promoters Aeg Europe said today (Wednesday) that Julie Andrews will perform in her first concert appearance in 30 years at London's 02 Arena on May 8. Andrews had reportedly suffered permanent damage to her vocal cords during throat surgery in 1997 and had been left without the ability to sing. While she has continued to appear in movies as an actress in such films as The Princess Diaries and the voice of Queen Lillian in the Shrek movies, she has not had a singing role in films since 1982's Victor/Victoria. She did not immediately disclose how she had regained her singing capability. She said in a statement, "To perform once again in my homeland on the London stage will be a wonderful moment -- it is where it all began for me." »

The film doesn’t hit for a while yet – Summer/Autumn 2010 to be exact, but for now take joy in the fact that even villain’s have enemies, check out the trailer below and you’ll see what I mean!

International Trailer for 'Tooth Fairy'
19 November 2009 10:09 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Another sneak peek at comedy film "Tooth Fairy" has been shared through an international trailer. Although the 20th Century Fox has previously provided a preview video, the newly released clip manages to give a look at some never-before-seen scenes of the film.
Derek Thompson is a minor league hockey player whose nickname, "The Tooth Fairy", comes from his habit of knocking out opposing players' teeth. When he discourages a young boy's hope, Derek is sentenced to hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand.
At first, the meanest man in hockey can't handle the task forced upon him. He finds himself bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes, doing what tooth fairies do. But as he slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.

International “The Tooth Fairy” Trailer
19 November 2009 4:31 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
The international trailer for the upcoming Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson family comedy, “Tooth Fairy,” has appeared online.
The movie centers on Derek “The Tooth Fairy” Thompson, a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster’s hopes, he’s sentenced to one week’s hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek “can’t handle the tooth” – bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers’ homes…doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.
The Tooth Fairy co-stars Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, Billy Crystal, and a little cameo by professional skateboarder, Ryan Sheckler.
The new 20th Century Fox movie is directed by Michael Lembeck (Santa »

Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long Interview, Planet 51
16 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
MoviesOnline sat down recently with Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long to talk about their new film, “Planet 51,” a galactic-sized animated alien adventure comedy.
When American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker (Johnson) lands on Planet 51, he thinks he's the first person to step foot on it only to discover that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders...like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion "Rover" and his new friend Lem (Long), Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel and Justin Long are fabulous people and we really appreciated their time. »
Jessica Biel, Justin Long, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Interview Planet 51
15 November 2009 1:31 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last week, Sony held a press junket at the Griffith Observatory, here in Los Angeles, to help promote their upcoming animated movie Planet 51. Since the film takes place on another planet, I think the location was perfect. Also, almost every press day is held at a hotel, and it’s great to “shake and bake” the junket format. But while the location was different, that didn’t stop Jessica Biel, Justin Long, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson from making all the journalists laugh during most of their press conference. While you may be sick of Justin Long and his Mac commercials, the guy is quick on his feet when reacting to questions. I was very impressed.
Anyway, after the jump to can either read the transcript of the press conference or listen to the audio. While I always think listening to the audio is better than reading a trancript, »

On today's post, we have new photos of Channing Tatum's wife (aka Jenna Dewan) as she arrives at Elle’s 16th Annual Women In Hollywood Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel on October 19, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California and new promotional photos from her "Melrose Place" shoot.
Elle brought together an intimate group of Hollywood’s best and brightest talent for a celebration dinner honoring women’s achievements in film. This year’s honorees ranged from screen legend Julie Andrews to talented casting director Bonnie Timmermann, as well as several of today’s most critically-acclaimed actresses: Emily Blunt, Katie Holmes, Julianne Moore, Robin Wright Penn and Renee Zellweger (who were all showcased in this month's issue of the magazine which features Elle's prestigious Women in Hollywood Power List by respected entertainment news blogger Nikke Finke).
Jenna tweeted about the event before and after and even let us know about a new role she just landed. »

'Gossip Girl' recap: Dan, Olivia, and Vanessa get Reeeeaaaaalllly close
10 November 2009 4:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
You can tell it was a good episode of Gossip Girl because the much-hyped threesome wasn’t even the best part. In fact, it kinda yielded mixed emotions…at least from me. Hilary Duff attempting to be sexy just felt, uh, weird. I had a similar reaction to seeing Julie Andrews naked in the movie S.O.B. It’s just not something you want to see, kinda like grown women wearing Loony Tunes paraphernalia. But, honestly, the whole thing was pretty chaste. Aside from a shot of them all in bed together in the end, it was basically no more risqué »

Jessica Biel talks A-team and Dwayne Johnson talks Witch Mountain Sequel, Tooth Fairy, Jonny Quest and Namor The Submariner
9 November 2009 5:05 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Earlier today I attended the press day for Sony’s new animated movie Planet 51 and in attendance were Jessica Biel, Dwayne Johnson and Justin Long. While I’ll have a transcript of the entire press conference in the coming days, since Jessica Biel talked about The A-Team and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gave updates on a possible Witch Mountain sequel, Tooth Fairy, Jonny Quest and Namor the SubMariner, I figured you’d like to read what they had to say tonight.
While I’d love to report major news on any of the movies, it seems nothing is happening on a Witch Mountain sequel, Jonny Quest, or Namor the SubMariner. But the best news came from Jessica Biel who made it sound like The A-Team might be a lot of fun. Hit the jump for exact quotes:
Q: Can you tell us anything about The A-Team?
Jessica Biel: It’s going really well. »

Here’s the brand new trailer for Despicable Me which has been released today by Universal Pictures. I’ve embedded the trailer below but click the actual video to go to YouTube and view it in HD.
The characters are voiced by Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Julie Andrews, Danny Mcbride and Miranda Cosgrove and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty funny film. Like all animations that are being released at the moment, it’s going to be brought to us in 3d. We should expect to see it on our shores 15th October 2010 so a while to wait yet!
Here’s the synopsis and the trailer is below:

Despicable Me Trailer #2: Supervillains Are Funny
4 November 2009 4:28 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Ever since Universal Pictures released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming animated comedy Despicable Me back in July, I've been curious about it. The animation looks great, the voice cast is solid, it comes from Christopher Meledandri, the producer of such underrated animated flicks as Robots and Horton Hears a Who! This might actually be something worth watching out for. And here, just days after Dreamworks released the abysmal trailer for How to Train Your Dragon, Universal and Illumination Entertainment have dropped a new, longer trailer via Apple. This time we finally meet Gru (voiced by Steve Carrell), the world's #2 supervillain. He's engaged in a war of wits with Vector (voiced by Jason Segel), the world's #1 supervillain. That's all we know for now -- but the film follows Gru's fight to become number one, and to steal the moon. That sounds fun. The Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud and Sergio Pablos directed film will also feature the »

Despicable Me Movie Trailer #2
4 November 2009 4:21 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
In July we posted the teaser trailer for Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Despicable Me, a computer animated film about a trio of orphan girls cause the normally deplorable Gru to rethink his plan to steal the moon. The trailer mostly focused on a world which has had famous landmarks stolen and completely replaced by giant blow-up replicas. The main character of the movie - Gru, who is voiced by Steve Carell, made a little more than a cameo appearance. This new trailer focuses more on the world's #2 super-villain character Gru, and his attempts to break into a secret lair of the world's #1 super-villain Vector. The voice cast line-up is pretty impressive, with a handful of Judd Apatow regulars with a couple nice surprises: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Danny McBride, Jemaine Clement, Miranda Cosgrove and Julie Andrews. However, you don't really get to hear »
