Buy This: 'The Dark Knight' for ... $3.99
1 hour ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Everyone loves a good seasonal discount, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing some insane discounts this particular holiday season, especially when it comes to DVDs. Case in point: If you're one of the seven people who don't currently own The Dark Knight on DVD, make sure to head over to Target because they'll be selling the film -- which was released in 2008, mind you -- with a bargain-basement price tag of $3.99. The move comes not long after it was announced that Target, Walmart and Amazon were at war with one another -- hacking and slashing their DVD prices in an attempt to win the most holiday shoppers. While all three retailers were originally planning to sell popular upcoming titles like Star Trek, Night at the Museum 2 and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for only $10, Target has now upped the ante by offering The Dark Knight for a measly $3.99 ... and, »

2012 and how good viral marketing can go bad
13 November 2009 4:10 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Disaster movie 2012 inspired panic in the States with Nasa having to reassure Americans that the world wasn't about to end. Is movie viral marketing getting too clever for its own good?
When Columbia Pictures launched a marketing campaign for 2012 – the latest disaster movie from serial Earth molester Roland Emmerich, where the planet, played by America, is set for impending doom – they didn't do it by halves.
First, there was a teaser trailer showing a tsunami crashing over the Himalayas. The Earth was going to end in 2012, it said, and the world's governments aren't doing enough to prepare us. Search "2012", it said, for "the truth" (the "truth" turned out to be over 1,000 real websites and 175 real books obsessed with 2012 as the end of time).
Then, there was a fake website – the "Institute for Human Continuity" – which consisted of a screen stating that for 25 years they'd been assessing threats to the continuation of mankind, »
Russell Brand And Katy Perry Have Recorded A Track
12 November 2009 6:54 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The British comedian and his Us pop star girlfriend were reportedly “messing around” in a Los Angeles studio where they recorded a version of Edward Lear’s 1871 poem ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’. A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Russell was just messing around in the studio with Katy. “He was pretending to sing into the microphone and started reciting the poem, ‘The Owl And The Pussycat’, with the lines, 'Oh lovely Pussy! Oh Pussy my love, what a beautiful Pussy you are'.” The poem is said to be a private joke between the pair, after Russell, 34, recited it to ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer Katy, 25, when they holidayed together in Thailand. The source added: “They often use the nicknames Owl and Pussycat. Russell is 'Owl' because he's wise and, well, it's fairly obvious that Katy's a sex kitten, isn't it? "He has an amazing delivery. Katy blushed at the line, »

Aff Review: Herpes Boy
11 November 2009 6:00 PM, PST | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Herpes Boy won the Austin Film Festival Audience Award in the Comedy Vanguard category, which should come as no surprise to anyone fortunate enough to catch either of the sold-out Aff screenings. The filmmakers and stars -- including the charming Beth Grant who also co-produced the film -- chose to stand during both screenings so that more festival attendees could see their film. With such an endearing and supportive force, it's no wonder that heart and passion transfers to the screen in this funny and poignant film.
Herpes Boy was directed by Nathaniel Atcheson and is based on the Herpes Boy YouTube web series created by Byron Lane in 2007. In the screen adaptation Byron wrote, he plays the lead character Rudolph Murray, who hates his life and is a bit of a hypochondriac. He has a large purple birthmark on his upper lip and everyday he finds someone staring, pointing, »

Russell Brand Has Made Katy Perry “naughtier” Than Ever
5 November 2009 6:27 PM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer has promised to flash her flesh while presenting tonight’s (05.11.09) MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) after her British boyfriend persuaded her to let down her guard. She said: “I will be especially naughty under Russell’s influence. I’ve worn things recently that aren’t appropriate for this – sorry mom, sorry dad.” Katy – who is returning as presenter of the awards after impressing bosses last year – also admitted she won’t be concerned if she exposes her breasts in any of her revealing outfits in Berlin tonight. She added: "MTV asked me back because I have this no fear attitude. I don't care if I do fall over or if a boob does fall out. "I’ve gone for less costume changes this year but less clothing too. It’s all a bit naughtier, with lace, crystals and lots of boobie things. It’s sexy. »

The British funnyman – who is known for his long, dark, backcombed locks – has vowed to have his curls chopped off so he can work on a wider range of movies. He said: “I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men, otherwise my career would be limited.” The 34-year-old actor – whose movie roles have previously included outspoken rocker Aldous Snow in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and drug producer Flash Harry in ‘St Trinian’s’ – has decided to have a style change to help him fulfil his dream role, as France’s post-revolutionary military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte. He quipped: ''I was hoping one day to play Napoleon, but I can't play Napoleon as this shaggy-haired, bearded raconteur. ''But I did also want to play Rasputin, the monk, so that'll be good, I can look like this.'' Russell recently admitted he would be paying his hairdresser a visit ahead for his new »

Perry Cures Brand's Womanising Ways
2 November 2009 11:21 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
British comedian Russell Brand has credited his girlfriend Katy Perry with putting an end to his womanising ways, insisting he is no longer interested in the promiscuous life he led before meeting the pop star.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor has been dating Perry since September and the former sex addict admits their budding romance is already having a positive effect on his lifestyle.
He says, "I am living in a different way at the moment. Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years."
But Brand refuses to discuss his relationship with the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker in more detail - because he fears the press will misconstrue anything he says about her.
He adds, "She's lovely and I don't want her to read anything about herself.
"The other day a journalist from a tabloid in a ludicrous fedora said to me, 'Russell, are you in love with Katy?' And I said, 'You look like a character from a Graham Greene novel. I think I'm in love with you.' I said that to defuse the situation. But what do they print? They print, 'I think I am in love'." »
