Well, a former Cowboy!

Survivor: Nicaragua will be home to a football coach legend. Jimmy Johnson, former Dallas Cowboys coach and current analyst on the Fox NFL Sunday show, has signed on for the latest installment of the hit reality show.

The series is being taped in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua and as one of the oldest contestants, we don't think his chances of winning aren't so great.

But the man led his team to TWO Super Bowl victories. That has got to count for something, right?

Right?

Video – Salt: Written for a Man (Tom Cruise), But Starring a Woman (Angelina Jolie)

July 22nd, 2010

The ten highest-grossing spy films of all time share a common theme: a male spy as their main character. In keeping with a tried-and-true box-office tradition, that's how the new Angelina Jolie espionage thriller, Salt, originally started out. In the film, which is directed by Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, Rabbit-Proof Fence), Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent on the run after she's accused of being a Russian spy within the storied American intelligence agency.

Screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (The Recruit, Sphere) first wrote the script with a fictional male CIA agent, Edwin Salt, as the title character. Tom Cruise was in talks to take on the role. But, after several story revisions, Cruise decided that Edwin Salt was a little too close to Ethan Hunt -- Cruise's spy character in the megasuccessful Mission: Impossible franchise -- and he dropped out of the project.

Bill Murray Admits ‘Garfield’ Mistake

July 21st, 2010

Filed under:

Legendary funny man Bill Murray has admitted to GQ magazine that he signed up to play the titular lead in Garfield not for the money, nor the critical acclaim (probably just as well in the latter case) but because he thought he was working from a script by a Coen brother.

It's an easy mistake to make, you see Academy Award winner Joel Coen's name on a script and you automatically think of one half of cinema's greatest director siblings. Garfield, of course, was co-written by Joel Cohen (with an 'h') whose family-movie screenwriting credits include Toy Story, Cheaper by the Dozen and Daddy Day Camp. The closest he's come to Oscar glory was a nomination shared with three others for his work on Pixar's debut feature.

Magic happens, if you let it; and sometimes even fate or destiny, or whatever you want to call it, steps in to lend a hand. But when it concerns love, and finding that special person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, should you risk tempting fate with a test of that love or what is seemingly meant to be, or should you just follow your apparent destiny and embrace it?

Stone – Trailer

July 21st, 2010
  Stone - Trailer
Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Oscar® nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in Stone, a thought-provoking drama directed by John Curran (The Painted Veil, We Don’t Live Here Anymore) and written by Angus McLachlan (Junebug). As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) as Lucetta, Stone’s sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse. Set against the quiet desperation of an economically ravaged community and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain futures.
Directed by: John Curran
Starring: Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich, Frances Conroy
