'Twilight: New Moon' gets multiple Razzie Awards. While last year's extremely successful "Twilight Saga: New Moon" failed to receive any nominations at award shows such as the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes or the SAG, it did receive quite a few nominations at the 30th Annual Razzie Awards.
"New Moon" received nominations in the following categories: Worst Screen Couple, Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and Worst Screenplay. But have no fear "Twilight" fans. Nobody takes the Razzie Awards seriously. Half of the time, I think the people responsible for the nominations are just out to get attention. "Twilight" is one of the hottest topics on the world wide web, so why wouldn't they bring "Twilight" to their award show? What do you guys think? Do you agree with the Razzie nominations? Or are they just trying to gain publicity for their ceremony? |

David Slade adding more Edward to 'Twilight: Eclipse'. David Slade is the latest director to take over Summit Entertainment wildly popular and extremely successful "Twilight" franchise. He's been handed the reigns to helm the third installment in the series titled "Twilight Saga: Eclipse". Fortunately, Slade knows a thing or two when it comes to making a good vampire flick. I mean, he did direct the horror flick "30 Days of Night".
What we like about David Slade is that he's always keeping his Twitter followers up-to-date with the status of "Eclipse". In fact, just recently he made the post, "Cutting like crazy, the film is getting closer working through the weeknds again, adding more EDWARD!" So for all you "Twilight" fans out there worried that the third installment won't feature much of Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, you heard it straight from the director's mouth. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. |

Could next Jason 'Bourne' film be a reboot? They did it with "Batman Begins" and "Star Trek", but can Universal pull it off with their highly successful "Bourne" franchise?
While at the UK premiere for "Invictus", Empire was able to pull over Matt Damon for a moment and ask what the latest was on the troubled "Bourne 4". He told them,"There’ll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one," he said, "just because I think we’re probably another five years away from doing it – we’ve got to get a script…" While I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't picture another "Bourne" entry without Matt Damon, there are rumors floating about that he won't return unless director Paul Greengrass returns to the chair. And having seen the differences between "The Bourne Identity" and "The Bourne Ultimatum", I can't say I blame him. What do you guys think? Is it too early for a reboot for the "Bourne" franchise? Will you still see a fourth installment or reboot without Matt Damon? |

The Colts are trying to find their second title in four years. So which team are you guys rooting for? This is the first time in years that my favored team as made it to the Super Bowl. However, I know some of your favorite teams were beaten thus it's hard to settle on one of two teams, particularly if one of them is responsible for knocking your team out of the play-offs. |

'Harry Potter' theme park preview prior to Superbowl. Universal Orlando Resort's Island of Adventures park is promoting its new theme park attraction based on Warner Bros. wildly popular and extremely successful "Harry Potter" franchise. The attraction will be called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter".
The 20-acre park addition is planned to open in the Spring of 2010. The details of the park have not been revealed, but hints may have been shown, including a glimpse of Hogwarts castle. There are also some rumors floating around that the attraction will consists of a replicated Hogsmeade Village. Wouldn't that be just brilliant? It's been estimated that the television commercial airing during the Superbowl will be costing between $2.5 million to $3 million for a 30-second spot. After all the cash Warner Bros. has raked in over the years with the "Harry Potter" franchise, that amount should be pocket change for the studio. |

Screen Gems new drama titled "Dear John" arrived in theaters yesterday and stars: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Henry Thomas, Richard Jenkins and Keith Robinson. Overall, the film received below average reviews from top movie critics, getting grades of mostly Ds and Cs across the board.
Janice Page over at the Boston Globe gave "Dear John" a C grade. She said, it "Sparks of familiarity in this tear-jerker." Meanwhile, Roger Ebert from the Chicago-Sun Times gave it a C grade as well saying, it "tells the heartbreaking story of two lovely young people who fail to find happiness together because they're trapped in an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks novel." What do you guys think? Have you had the chance to see "Dear John" yet? Is it worth checking out or something we should all avoid? Let us know! |

Kristen Stewart does jury duty, finds man not guilty. Kristen Stewart, star of Summit Entertainment's wildly popular vampire series "Twilight" recently found a man 'not guilty' for soliciting prostitution from an undercover cop. TMZ reports that Stewart was a member of the Los Angeles jury this week in a 3-day case, which involved a man accused of trying to pay an undercover cop for sex.
The defense claimed the man was innocent because he doesn't speak English very well and the sex solicitation incident occured because he didn't quite understand what was being negotiated. What do you guys think? Do you think Kristen helped in making the right decision? |

'From Paris With Love' is just 'OK'. One film I've been anxious to see since I saw the preview for it a few months back is John Travolta's new thriller "From Paris With Love". You have to admit, he looks pretty bad ass without any hair.
The film, from Lionsgate Films, arrived in theaters yesterday and top movie critics gave it mediocre reviews with grades ranging Bs to Cs. In addition to Travolta, the film also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kasia Smutniak and Richard Durden. Wesley Morris from the Boston Globe gave the picture a C grade saying, "The climax involves a bomb, a kind of djellaba garment and a speech about love. You have to see it to believe it and I'm not saying you should." Meanwhile, Roger Ebert over at the Chicago-Sun Times gave it a C as well. He said, "Pauline Kael has already reviewed this movie in her book Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and it only took her the title." |

Howard Stern to replace Simon on 'American Idol'. When Paula Abdul announced she was leaving Fox's hit reality series "American Idol", there were dozens of stars rumored to replacing her as judge. Now, as Simon Cowell prepares to depart after this season of "Idol", executives are looking to find his replacement.
Howard Stern is reportedly in talks with executives to join the judging panel alonside Ellen DeGeneres, Kara Dioguardi and Randy Jackson. A source tells Page Six, "(American Idol) is one of the few shows that could compete with Stern's $100 million-a-year Sirius contract, and Idol bosses think he'd be even nastier than Simon." Unfortuantely, Stern made an announcement that he'd turned down the chance to take over a major television show for a major television network. Wouldn't that have been something? Stern certainly isn't afraid to speak his mind and if anybody could replace Cowell, I think Stern would be the show's best bet. |
