Sarah Jessica Parker Spears on Sex and the City Movie, Characters

How have Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte changed from the heydey of the Sex and the City series to the upcoming Sex and the City movie?

Let’s find out from star Sarah Jessica Parker:

Their lives are much less frivolous. They can’t cope with their problems by putting on their sweats and staying up all night and ordering in food and gossiping about the men in their lives. There is less self-absorption but perhaps a little more self-awareness.

Reel Movie Reviews: What Happens in Vegas

What Happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas this weekend. It comes to a movie theater near you!

Is this Ashton Kutcher/Cameron Diaz comedy worth your time and money, though? Let’s find out what a number of film critics thought of it…

- Sadly, about the nicest thing I can say about What Happens in Vegas is that I didn’t hate it — although I suppose that’s something... — Reel Views

- Though utterly contrived, predictable, and disposable, this counter-proragmming date flick has a certain charm, due to Cameron Diaz’s sex appeal and ease with slapstick and her onscreen chemistry with lead man Ashton Kutcher…Emanuel Levy

What Happens in Vegas Movie Poster

- This tone-deaf flick from hack screenwriter Dana Fox, is an example of a Hollywood formula romantic comedy where the author never properly learned the recipe…Cole Smithey

- The film delivers what it promises as a freewheeling, bitchy-mouthed romantic comedy, so it’s a good date movie… Urban Cinefile

Transformers 2 Update: No to Jonah Hill, Yes to Really Great Stuff

Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently broke some bad news to MTV:

The movie’s sequel will not star Jonah Hill, as many sites have been reporting.

“No, no,” he said of Hill’s reported casting. “Ultimately, we’ll have a couple casting surprises for everybody soon.”

Director Michael Bay and returning stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Jon Voight are reportedly on board to return - and Bonaventura confirmed plans to start shooting the movie in Philadelphia and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania next month.

“Michael’s got some really great stuff planned,” he said.

Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks are George, Laura Bush

Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks grace the cover of the most recent Entertainment Weekly. But you’d be forgiven if you looked at the issue and thought the First Couple was actually featured in it.

Indeed, the two actors starred in Oliver Stone’s movie about President George W. Bush, W, look eerily like their real-life counterparts.

W Stars

The biopic will chronicle the life and presidency of the words President of the United States in this country’s history. Bush is reportedly portrayed in the film as a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein and the conflicted relationship with his dad.

Here’s the rest of the cast:

  • Thandie Newton as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice;
  • Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair;
  • Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer;
  • James Cromwell as George Herbert Walker Bush;
  • Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush;
  • Jeffrey Wright as General Colin Powell.

Ashton Kutcher Tells Us About What Happens In Vegas

What happens in Vegas?

That’s sort of the question asked of Ashton Kutcher regarding his new movie, aptly titled What Happens in Vegas. Below, he speaks with MoviesOnline.ca about the project…

MoviesOnline: How was it working with Cameron Diaz?
Ashton Kutcher: Horrible. I mean, to show up to work and have to look at a good looking woman who’s funny and happy to be alive and joyous and nice to people, that’s a nightmare. We had to deal with it every single day. You know, I don’t think that there’s anybody like her.

Drunkenly Married

I think she’s maybe the only, I would say, true comedic leading lady in our business right now that has really honed that craft. And she’s worked with Jim Carrey, she’s worked with Adam Sandler, she’s worked with Mike Myers. She’s worked with every great comedic actor I can think of, so she’s got a one up on all of us.

MoviesOnline: What was your preparation for the drunken spiral?
Ashton Kutcher: I got drunk and spiraled. I’ve had my entire ’20s, my early ’20s to really prepare for that scene. I have a lot of life experience to draw on for that kind of wild night.

Reel Movie Reviews: Speed Racer

It’s the next big movie on the summer film docket.

But will Speed Racer follow in the record-breaking footsteps of Iron Man? The following reviews might go a long way toward determining that…

- The Wachowskis have created a blast of pure pop family fun; Speed Racer’s a bright, bold visual spectacle designed for kids…Cinematical

- Unlike a Pixar cartoon that embraces as wide an audience as possible, Speed Racer proudly denies entry into its ultra-bright world to all but gamers, fanboys and anime enthusiasts…The Hollywood Reporter

Speed Racer

- Imagine someone pouring hot, melted Starburst candies into your corneas, and you just begin to approximate the experience of Speed Racer, an ice-cream headache of a movie that just keeps piling on the unnatural colors…MSNBC

- Pure cotton candy — entirely non-nutritious but too sweet and pretty for young people to resist…Variety
