RA.One to open in 5,000 screens worldwide

Shah Rukh Khan's RA.One is all set to be the biggest Bollywood release ever opening in approximately 5000 screens worldwide. In India alone, the sci-fi flick will occupy over 3,500 screens, which is easily 30 per cent more than the last big release, Salman Khan's Bodyguard, reports Mid Day. This hasn't left much room for this week's other releases- Hema Malini's Tell Me O Kkhuda and Himesh Reshammiya's Damadamm. The tabloid quotes Ashish Saksena of Big Cinemas as saying: "Shah Rukh's track record for Diwali has been almost 100 percent. There is little chance any exhibitor would let go of the opportunity to play the movie as much as possible. We opened advance bookings for selected screens last week and they are all houseful already." Over...

'I'm misunderstood,' says Madonna as she gets booed at W.E.'s London premiere

MADONNA has been booed by the crowd at the London premiere of her directorial debut W.E. for only bothering to talk to a handful of waiting fans. The pop superstar-turned-filmmaker left many people in the crowd, some of whom had been waiting for hours, disappointed after only taking the time to chat to a few devotees before heading into the cinema, The (London) Daily Telegraph reports. W.E., co-written and directed by Madonna, focuses on Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American for whom King Edward VIII gave up his throne so they could marry. The film is entwined with the story of a modern-day woman obsessed with the Duchess of Windsor, which Simpson became after marrying Edward in 1937. Madonna told Sky News she could empathise with the...

Jennifer Lopez Gets Emotional on Stage While Singing About Lost Love

Looks like Jennifer Lopez's lyrics struck a little too close to home this past weekend because the singer burst into tears during her Saturday concert in Montville, Connecticut after singing a song about lost love. The song, One Love, paid tribute to three of J. Lo's most high-profiled relationships, which probably explains why she was overcome with such strong emotions. Throughout the song, pairs of dancers appeared on stage, dressed like Lopez with look-alikes of her past loves: Diddy, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony. The new single mom then spoke to the crowd, saying, "A little trip down memory lane, huh?" But it appeared to be a trip she wasn't exactly ready to take because she wiped her eyes repeatedly and then walked offstage after the...

Angelina Jolie's Directorial Debut Hits the Web, Trailer

We know she can act, but how good is Angelina Jolie behind the camera? We're about to find out. The trailer for In the Land of Blood and Honey, a Bosnian War drama that marks the Oscar-winning actress' first stint above the title as writer and director, premiered online today. Jolie doesn't appear in Blood and Honey the film, which is the love story of a Serbian man and a Bosnian-Muslim woman during the mid-'90s conflict.But it's clearly also a passion project for the thesp, given her humanitarian work on behalf of war refugees and victims of atrocities. Alas, given the sensitive nature of the tale—which early reports incorrectly described as being about a rape victim who falls for her attacker, sparking outrage—Bosnian officials initially...

The Three Musketeers Is All For Nothing, Nothing Much For All

When director Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich try to get Resident Medieval, it's all for nothing, nothing much for all. If you're just looking for some elegant production design in subpar 3-D, it delivers that. But you can probably find a cheaper way of enjoying such things than the price of a current movie ticket. Like maybe a View-Master. Going into this movie expecting a faithful adaptation of Alexandre Dumas is like watching the Adam West Batman TV show and becoming upset that you didn't get Christopher Nolan. Rest assured, this movie's low grade isn't due to its lack of fealty to source. In fact, when Jovovich acrobats herself through what appear to be infrared anti-theft beams, with utterly no explanation of how such things...

Hutchison's Teenage Wife Banned From Facebook

Actor Doug Hutchison's teenage bride has been banned from Facebook.com for allegedly posting "inappropriate sexual content". The Green Mile star, 51, became tabloid fodder in May when he wed Courtney Stodden and now she's hitting headlines all over again after users of the social networking site filed complaints about a number of the 17 year old's sexy online photos.

Keller tells Eonline.com, "It's the jealousy from the women towards her. The...

The Big Year, Movie Review

If you think you have seen a movie about every sport that has ever existed, think again. The Big Year is a movie about competitive bird watching and stars Owen Wilson as the champion — a man who has spotted more than 700 bird species in a single year — and Steve Martin and Jack Black as two of his challengers. The contest’s color analyst … er … narrator is John Cleese, who also provides a primer on the sport of “birding.” The movie, writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times, “has an innocence and charm that will make it appealing for families, especially those who have had enough whales and dolphins for the year.” A.O. Scott in the New York Times uses the adjectives “gentle and low-key” to describe the film, adjectives that are unlikely to...
