Michael Lohan's Rehab Plea
3 November 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Lindsay Lohan's dad Michael has vowed to end their ongoing war of words if the troubled actress enters a rehabilitation program.
The Mean Girls star has threatened to file a restraining order against her estranged dad after he spoke to the press about her alleged addiction to prescription drugs.
But Lohan insists he will only back down once the 23 year old seeks professional help, telling RadarOnline.com, "As far as Lindsay is concerned, if she goes into a rehab, I will stop. But if the lies continue and the prescription drug use doesn't stop, neither will I."
Michael insists his daughter's partying lifestyle has spiralled out of control, leaving him no other choice but to stage a public intervention - just as actor Martin Sheen did when his son Charlie was battling drug problems.
He adds, "I have been trying for a year to help Lindsay with her problems privately, through Lindsay, her mom and the courts. I have the records to prove it. But when that didn't work, and the calls I was getting from (her mother) Dina, and Lindsay needed immediate attention, it was recommended to me to go public, like Martin Sheen and others did, in order to put pressure on Lindsay... I am sorry I had to take this route, but I have tried and tried to help Linds and I have been lied about long enough."
The born-again Christian even wants to obtain a conservatorship over Lindsay so he can help her regain control of her life.
He tells New Yok Post gossip column Page Six, "I am going to go to court to get a legal conservatorship to get Lindsay into rehab and finally get her off all the prescription meds. Dina is going to sit down with me and the lawyers and make things right for Lindsay. She is taking Adderol, Xanax, Paxil. She’s a beautiful girl but she looks 100 years old." »

The Lohans continue to carry out their family squabbles via the press, with Michael most recently responding to Dina and Lindsay’s request that he stop talking with an ultimatum of his own. “As far as Lindsay is concerned, if she goes into a rehab, I will stop,” he tells Radar , claiming that he has been attempting to “help” his daughter privately for a year now. “When that didn’t work, it was recommended to me to go public, like Martin Sheen and others did, in order to put pressure on Lindsay,” he says. “I am sorry I had to take this... »
Lindsay Lohan Against Her Father on Drug Problem
2 November 2009 1:59 AM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Lindsay Lohan, had to deal with her father, Michael Lohan who was telling media that his daughter is using drugs. Lindsay flared up her peevish on Twitter and wrote, "My father is a lunatic & doesn't even deserve such a title since he's never been around in my life other than when he'd threaten me & my Family." She also wrote, "He should be where he has always put him self after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life - behind bars."
In the other hand, Michael told exclusively RadarOnline.com, "As far as Lindsay concerned, if she goes into a rehab, I will stop" and continued, "But if the lies continue and the prescription drug use doesn't stop, neither will I." Michael insisted that what he's doing is because it's the only way out to convince Lindsay for a help.
He threatened to air the tape of conversation between him and Dina Lohan, »

Movie Review: The Damned United

Starring: Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall, Colm Meany, Giles Alderson
Director: Tom Hooper
Release Date: October 29, 2009
Running Time: 97 miin
MPAA Rating: R
Distributor: BBC Films

"The Damned United" is a "based on a true life story about sports", in fact a great one, but director Tom Hooper finds it necessary to fulfill the film with off-field drama and tension, relying very little on the actual game of soccer. The lack of on-field action isn't missed at all because there is a hypnotizing portrait of hatred being presented, and that is the film's main priority. Mr. Hooper perceives a myriad of vanities within a single human being which ultimately lead him being reduced to a man without a moral center, establishing himself solely within his own mad ambitions. This represents a tale Shakespeare or the Greeks would examine, where one man is so consumed by his own »

Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre (2009)
23 October 2009 1:16 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
By Lis Fies
I was handed this scrappy-looking DVD with a partial eyeroll and a shoulder shrug. Looking at the rinky-dink website with no salient journalism information (Photos? Runtime?) caused even less excitement. A sequel to 2007's "Caesar and Otto" (No? You haven't heard of it either?), Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre looked like it was going to be porn without the porn. Imagine my elation on discovering that writer/director/producer/star Dave Campfield is talented and well-versed in the language of film.
Despite the DVD cover and website doing the movie no favors, Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre is actually a funny broad comedy, with bigger appeal than the niche horror-comedy crowd it is being marketed to. It is directed and edited with such panache that I could see it appealing to many fans of the Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler ilk who wouldn't and don't »

This week:
The box office gets Wild; a Vampire Chronicles star moves to Cradlewood; Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell; Owen, Keener and Schwimmer Trust each other and Terrance Mallick’s Tree of Life withers in 2009.
Box Office
After a few years in post-production, Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are took the top spot with a mighty $32.4 million over the weekend. Catering to children and adults alike, it looks like this adaptation of the children’s book might make it to the century barrier.
Law Abiding Citizen came an impressive second with $21 million. The thriller has given a boost to the careers of Jamie Fox and Gerard Butler whose last movies underperformed.
Paranormal Activity scared up $20 million from only 760 screens for a $33 million total. It looks like the sky is the limit as Halloween approaches.
Couples Retreat plunged 47% giving the comedy a weekend take of just under $18 million. »

Tree Of Life Held Back Until 2010
16 October 2009 4:28 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
The upcoming fifth film from perfectionist director Terrence Malick has been pushed back to an undertermined release date in 2010. Tree Of Life stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn in a heartfelt story about the loss of a son's innocence and the struggle to come to grips with it into adulthood. Other than that, details on the film have remained a mystery, as the director has managed to keep a tight lid on the whole thing. Already, Malick has been in the editing room for nearly a year.
The information was released by new distributor Apparition, whose new head Bob Berny said, "It's definitely not going to come out this year... I can't tell you when it will come out."
The acclaimed director of Badlands and Days Of Heaven conceived of the story for Tree Of Life nearly thirty years ago. He has decided to accompany the film in some way »
Spotted: Shia Labeouf And Michael Douglas Nosh In New York
8 October 2009 1:48 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
Sure, Katy Perry has been hanging out with Russell Brand at Fashion Week in Paris, but some stars have work to attend to. Take Shia Labeouf, who was at the Central Park Zoo yesterday. But he wasn't there to wave to the polar bears or pet a snow leopard. Rather, he was there working with Michael Douglas on the set of "Wall Street 2," the sequel to Oliver Stone's sequel to his own 1987 film that originally starred Douglas, Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen. The movie, which is subtitled "Money Never Sleeps," is expected to hit theaters some time in 2010 and will feature a »

Martin Sheen goes back to his roots with Irish movie (IrishCentral)
4 October 2009 11:44 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Irish American actor Martin Sheen will go back to his roots with his next movie, "Stella Days." Sheen, who will star as Fr Daniel Barry, will be shooting "Stella Days" in the tiny town of Borrisokane in North Tipperary where his late mother was from. "Stella Days," which also features Stephen Rea and Romola Garai is based on a true story. The real-life Fr Barry was a priest called Fr Dean Cahill who establised a movie house called Stella Cinema in Borrisokane. The movie house, which showed films from 1957 to 1967, was housed in the Clarke Memorial Hall which still stands. In the movie, Sheen's character is struggling with his conscience. He fears that he has lost his vocation and searches for redemption by reconciling his own passion for movies with his oboligation to his flock by setting up the Stella Cinema.... »

This week:
Zombieland eats the competition; Josh Brolin is the new Sean Penn in Cartel; Jessica Alba is added to Fockers; Kim and Kelly get Adjusted; Sarsgaard joins Cruise and Diaz; Sheen, Unger and Nesbitt are Shown The Way by Emilio Estevez.
Zombieland exceeded expectations and managed to reach number one of the top ten at the box office this week. The Woody Harrelson stars in Zombieland and it should make about $25 million this weekend. That’s about a million more than its reported production budget!
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs should manage another $16 million or so giving the animated film a good $82 million total.
Toy Story I and 2 3D was third giving the animated combo a solid $13 million. Considering that these puppies have been available on DVD for over a decade bodes well for Toy Story 3 3D when it hits next year.

-- You know what's pretty crazy? This trailer for "The Crazies," the upcoming remake of George A. Romero's classic horror film. The movie, directed by Breck Eisner ("Sahara"), focuses on a Midwestern town that's gone bizonkers due to a mysterious toxin in the water supply. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell play the lead roles. (Apple)
-- John Woo is set to bring his Chinese action epic "Red Cliff" stateside on November 20, 2009, and there's a brand new trailer to prove it. I'm still wondering how he'll fit his trademark hero-with-two-pistols into the period piece, but I'm keeping an open mind. (Apple)
-- Remember that horrifying Discovery Channel special about Earth's future millions of years down the line, where humanity is gone and scary hybrid creatures have taken over? It's time to live through that nightmare again, as "The Future is Wild" is coming to the big screen courtesy of "Shrek" producer John Williams. »

Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen Will Show Us 'The Way'
2 October 2009 1:05 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
No matter what he does, in my mind, Emilio Estevez will always be Gordon Bombay (Minneapolis, Minnesota), coach of the Mighty Ducks. And who would've thought that the Breakfast Club actor would've turned out to be a decent director too? Though the reviews were mixed on Bobby, there's no doubt that Estevez at least knows how to operate behind the camera, even if he's not the greatest screenwriter. Variety announces Estevez's The Way (his fourth feature as writer and director), a family-drama starring Martin Sheen (The Departed), Deborah Kara Unger (Silent Hill), and James Nesbitt (Five Minutes of Heaven). Spanish actors Angela Molina and Carlos Leal (Broken Embraces), Simon Andreu (Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), and Eusebio Lazaro (Pan's Labyrinth) also star in the story of "Tom Avery, a Californian ophthalmologist who travels to France to reclaim the body of his estranged son, who died in a storm in the Pyrenees, »

SAG: Four Hardline Horsemen in the National Board Room
27 September 2009 3:29 PM, PDT | Digital Media Law | See recent Digital Media Law news »
Thursday’s SAG election was a victory for the moderate coalition. Yet, strangely enough, the leaders of the losing hardline faction will all find seats on the national board, and will continue to be a shadow government within the union’s Hollywood board—a board on which none of the key moderate leaders will be voting members.
Yes, the moderates (Unite for Strength (Ufs) / Usan / Rbd / independents) won the national offices – President and Secretary-Treasurer – and picked up additional national board seats and many on the Hollywood board as well. But with SAG, the story is never simple.
In fact, paradoxically, 1st VP and failed Membership First presidential candidate Anne-Marie Johnson will probably continue as 1st VP, ex-president Alan Rosenberg will almost certainly be back on the national board in a matter of days despite winning only an alternate seat, Mf leader David Joliffe will probably be on the Hollywood board »

SAG Moderates Win Presidency, Secr. + Additional 4 Natl Seats
24 September 2009 6:39 PM, PDT | Digital Media Law | See recent Digital Media Law news »
In a victory for the SAG moderate coalition (Unite for Strength / Usan / independents), the Ufs candidates for president, Ken Howard, and secretary, Amy Aquino, won the union's national offices.
However, the election was close: Howard's total was slightly less than the two hardline candidates added together (Anne-Marie Johnson and Seymour Cassel) and Aquino's was slightly more than that of incumbent Connie Stevens. So the union is still very divided, and Howard acknowledged that the results were not a landslide and that the union is very divided, while saying that he planned to reach out to Mf supporters.
On the national board, the moderates showed strength as well: They picked up 4 of 11 seats in Hollywood and held all of the NY and regional (Rbd) seats. I estimate that this brings the moderate's board majority to around 60%, vs. 40% for Mf, but that's a very rough calculation and I'm not sure at this point. »
