PAUL NEWMAN Dies at 83

VARIETY reports on the death of a film icon Paul Newman who died last Friday after his long battle with cancer finally came to end. Newman became a legend of the silver screen in the 50's and went on to star in such memorable films as BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, THE STING, and COOL HAND LUKE. He also received an astounding 8 Academy Award Nominations for Best Actor. His last big screen appearance was in Sam Mendes 2002 crime drama the ROAD TO PERDITION alongside Tom Hanks. However, he lent his voice talent to Doc Hudson in Pixar's 2006 feature film CARS in what I cam convinced is one of the greatest voice performances in an animated film ever. Paul Newman is one of the last of a generation of actors who illuminated the silver screen with a soaring passion and drive to be the best, who challenged themselves and their audience to grow and mature. Mr. Newman, thank you for gracing the screen with artistry and integrity for so long, you will be missed.

My Most Anticipated Film of the Year Gets a New Trailer!

If you took the style of Tim Burton, and the enthusiasm of FOREST GUMP, and threw them together, you may very well get THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, opening this Christmas. Imagine being born 80 years old, and then aging backwards, watching the world around you, and those that you love, age before you as you yourself grow young. This is stuff of tall tales and storybook wonder. I hope it is as good and it looks to be, I hope it doesn't disappoint because story's about time always have something to say about life and death and love, let's hope that this one has something good to say.

In the meantime, check out the Official Trailer:

GHOSTBUSTERS 3???????

Yes, someone is writing it!
Yes, it may finally happen!
Yes, I can barely contain myself!

GHOSTBUSTERS was the SPIDERMAN of the 80's, a larger than life film, and its sequel, that suspended belief while delivering pure over-the-top entertainment and fun. This is one sequel that I have been dying to see. Now if only that GOONIES sequel could happen.

Here is the original trailer for GHOSTBUSTERS (1984):

Sean Penn is Harvey MILK

Gus Vant Sant (GOOD WILL HUNTING) directs, and Sean Penn (MYSTIC RIVER) stars in the story of an openly gay man running for the office of San Francisco Mayor during the late 70's. Sure to be a major Oscar contender!
