Surrogates (2009)

In this serviceable sci-fi thriller set in a near future where imperfect humans stay home and program prettier robots to represent them out in the world, the moral is this: Be yourself, even if, in the case of Bruce Willis, it means accepting your male-pattern baldness. Willis stars in Surrogates as an FBI agent investigating irregularities in the lucrative surrogacy biz. Rosamund Pike plays his wife, who prefers things plastic and pretty. There's...

Fame (2009)

NYC high school students sing, dance, emote in acting classes, and otherwise insist that America's got talent, but this unnecessarily tepid, conservative remake of 1980's far more famous and affecting original Fame suggests otherwise. Why settle for this dull, safe production — at once airbrushed in plot and undisciplined in execution — when you can watch Glee? The teachers (including original cast member Debbie Allen as school principal) turn out...

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story is a blistering, mad-as-hell indictment of everything in America that, according to Moore, has led to our current state of economic peril. The back-scratching greed and corruption, the cult of Wall Street as a casino for elites, the subprime mortgage vendors who operated like loan sharks: Moore pulls the big picture together, and much of the movie (about three-fifths of it) is urgent, unsettling, and mischievously...

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)

Imagine a booze-and-sex-and-snark bad-boy comedy, like The Hangover or Road Trip, in which male debauchery gets pushed so far that it's at once hilarious, shocking, and brazenly honest. That's this adaptation of Tucker Max's gonzo memoir, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Matt Czuchry, in a star performance, plays Tucker like a Ferris Bueller who bloomed into a charming sociopath. Insults fly out of his mouth like shrapnel, but on a bachelor-party...

Plus she let her nude photos leak on the web....

Coco Before Chanel (2009)

''In order to be irreplaceable,'' said the legendary French couturier Gabrielle ''Coco'' Chanel, ''one must always be different.'' The very feminine, very inward-looking French biopic Coco Before Chanel examines the influences that made Chanel so different — and so irreplaceable — the way an observant fashion student might deconstruct an haute couture garment to understand how it's built. The woman who became Chanel grew up a poor, skinny orphan...

Another AnnaLynne McCord Nipple Slip

We all agree that AnnaLynne McCord is a good actress, but apparently her job at 90210 is more to promote the show than acting in it.And if that is the case, AnnaLynne is taking her new job very seriously, doing whatever it takes to get all the public attention centered on her TV program. "Whatever it takes" means showing her nipples every month that ends in the letter R.So far this year we have had three AnnaLynne McCord nipple slips, and this last...

Brief Interviews With Hideous Men (2009)

David Foster Wallace's 1999 short-story collection Brief Interviews With Hideous Men has been turned — by writer-director John Krasinski (The Office) — into a blunt, scrappy, intermittently perceptive drama. It's a series of toxic-pill relationship vignettes broken up by interviews with the male characters, most of whom prove, beneath their ''enlightened'' liberal-humanist facades, to be lying, lecherous, brutally self-justifying...men. 
 At times,...

The Boys Are Back (2009)

In the low-impact widowed-daddy drama The Boys Are Back, Clive Owen plays Joe, a British sportswriter based in Australia whose chosen style of child rearing, following the death of his wife from cancer, is distracted permissiveness.

(George...

Adrianne Curry's New Boobs

Even though top models usually have very small boobs, Adrianne Curry, a former winner of "America's Next Top Model", is now pretty abundant in the chest area.And to prove it, she just posted some photos of herself laying down at the beach where her boobs take up pretty much three quarters of the screen.Comparing these generous tits to what she exhibited when she posed for Playboy a couple years ago leads to the obvious conclusion that Adrianne Curry...

Katy Perry's Dangerous Boobs

Katy Perry's massive boobs have been called a lot of things: hot, big, huge, beautiful... but dangerous? Not so far.Until yesterday, when the dark haired singer showed up at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony dressed in a spiky outfit that forced all bystanders to keep their hands to themselves and say hello to her from at least one foot away.Thanks to her short and very cleavag-y dress, Katy Perry's boobs were well guarded, with three-inch plastic...

The Burning Plain (2009)

Kim Basinger plays a sad married mom in New Mexico who screws around — until her dreams go up in smoke. Charlize Theron plays a sad single woman in Oregon who smokes and screws around. The two ladies are linked, but to find out how, you must wade through The Burning Plain's intentionally disorienting narrative shuffles — the signature storytelling tic of Mexican screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga (21 Grams, Babel), here making his unsteady directorial...

Disgrace (2009)

Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee's great, brutal, prizewinning 1999 novel about the nature of men (in contrast with dogs) in post-apartheid South Africa gets a faithful, if wearying, adaptation, slow and spare.In Disgrace, John Malkovich brings his unique, compelling coldness to the weight-bearing role of a middle-aged university professor whose sexual and racial arrogance (including an affair with a black student) leads to a personal disgrace and humbling...

No Megan Fox Sex Tape

Sorry to say but it's not likely it will happen.When asked about being filmed while having sex, the Transformers and Jennifer's Body star said during an interview this week: "That's the last thing I want to see - what I look like having sex. It would take one shot of me not looking good and I would not be able to have sex ever again, because I would always just see myself looking like a hippo having...

9 (2009)

The end of human civilization is not healthy for children and other living things. But movies as varied as WALL·E, Children of Men, and The Road Warrior are proof that apocalyptic catastrophe is great for moviemakers, inspiring wonderfully original visions of ruin and expanding the artistic possibilities of cinematic technology.The latest achievement in art direction with an end-of-humanity theme belongs to the CG-animated fantasy-adventure 9, a...

Dil Bole Hadippa

Somewhere down the line in this mish-mash of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Chak De and what-have-‘youth’ Shahid Kapoor, looking as intense as a man who has just discovered he has acute molar ache scowls at Rani and says, “You should be an actress in films.”Actress she is. And a highly competent one. Rani has worked really hard on getting the Sardarji’s act together. At times she’s quite funny and poignant. But her attempts go to waste in a film that seems...

Wanted

Though National award-winner Prakash Raj’s flamboyant villainy and Ayesha Takia’s endearing cuteness do miraculously find a place in the plot, this is the hero’s vehicle like very few masala-maar-ke products in recent times. Welcome to the world of the won-man-army. Salman Khan adapts his goon’s name Radhe from Tere Naam where he mixed violence with vulnerability in a heady brew. The mix in Wanted is far more brackish and tangy. Wanted is an oldfashioned...

Whiteout (2009)

How cold is it in Antarctica? Cold enough for hands to freeze — but lips to remain kissing soft. Or at least that's the bad news/good news for Kate Beckinsale as a comely U.S. marshal at an ice-encrusted American research station, investigating a homicide when not battling flashbacks of Something Bad that once happened to her in Miami. Whiteout is a conventionally jam-packed, dutifully ludicrous action thriller, based on a graphic novel, which features...

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009)

The great film-noir actors, like Robert Mitchum and Sterling Hayden, wore a scowl of hunger that gave them a low-down, predatory glamour. They were men, not boys. But Jesse Metcalfe, who stars in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, a remake of the 1956 noir classic, has about as much inner darkness as a puppy. Metcalfe, formerly of Desperate Housewives, is swarthy and handsome in a cloying, baby-gigolo way; the only emotion he radiates is eagerness to be...
