Michael Caine's Answer the to ending of Inception


In a recent interview with BBC RADIO Michael Caine gave his interpretation of the ending to Inception.

As he sees it, the end of the movie isn’t just a dream. “[The spinning top] drops at the end, that’s when I come back on,” Caine said. “If I’m there it’s real, because I’m never in the dream. I’m the guy who invented the dream.”

Hmmm...interesting Michael. Unfortunately my mind is already too blown to understand any further

interpretations of this one.

Britney Spears v. Lea Michele


From last night's episode of "Glee" check out the comparison of these two "Hit Me Baby One More Time" videos! It was probably the only Britney song I actually enjoyed. Let me know what you think!

Also, this is the 100th post! Thanks for following guys :)

Steve Carell to Star in "Of All the Things"

Steve Carell has signed on to produce and star in the Warner Bros. feature film adaptation of the 2008 music documentary, Of All the Things. Carell will play the singer, songwriter, Dennis Lambert, who was known from songs such as "Baby Come Back," "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got." While I don't know how his singing voice will be, I do know that Carell is an excellent rapper.

Tarantino's Editor, Sally Menke dies at 56


Sally Menke, the only person Tarantino allowed to cut any of his films was found dead today. No cause of death has been reported, but she was hiking with her dog during an extremely hot morning in Los Angeles. Tarantino was very close with Menke and created "Hi Sally" reels where at the start of a cut, the actors or even the director would say hello to Sally so she could see the message when she went to edit the film. Their last project together was Inglourious Basterds.

Twilight Updates: Mackenzie Foy and Maggie Grace



I want to make this clear: I am NOT a "Twihard." Yes I have seen two Twilight movies, but no, I did not see them at midnight. It's the job of this blog to keep everyone informed of the latest entertainment news, so it has just been announced that actress Maggie Grace has signed on to play Breaking Dawn's character Irina and 9-year-old Mackenzie Foy is playing Renesmee, Edward and Bella's vampire love child thing. I don't know these characters, but I'm sure most of you out there do.

True Grit Trailer 2010

New from the Coen Brothers. Set to hit theaters this Christmas.

Gloria Stuart, 'Titanic,' dies at 100

Ok, so I know it's been heavy on Titanic related things recently, but I just had to announce that Gloria Stuart (who played the grown-up Rose in Titanic) passed away on Sept. 26 from lung cancer. She was 100-years-old.

Kate Winslet to Star in Roman Polanski Film


Funny I just posted about Kate and Leo, because she has just accepted a role in Roman Polanski's "comeback film" God of Carnage, based off the hit Broadway play that closed June 27, 2010.

The film is also rumored to have a star-studded cast of Jodie Foster, Matt Damon and Christoph Waltz. It's supposed to be set in New York City, but will be filmed in Paris because Polanski banned from America.

Pixar's First Female Director

Pixar has announced it's first female director Brenda Chapman. She will be directing the movie Brave, due in June 2012. Reese Witherspoon, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, and Julie Walters are all expected to provide voices for the film. The story follows Merida, a Scottish princess with a love of archery. The film is set in Edinburgh, Scotland. When I went to the Edinburgh Film Festival to see Toy Story 3, the animators spoke about the film.

Chapman was the first American woman to direct an animated film. The film was The Prince of Egypt (1998).

She's also been a writer for major Disney films such as Beauty and the Beast (1991) and the Lion King (1994).

Water for Elephants

Spotted: Rob Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon on the set of Water for Elephants. It's set to hit theaters April 15, 2011. It's directed by Francis Lawrence who also directed Constantine and I Am Legend. Here are some "TwitPics" from the @H2OforElephants profile.

Katy Perry, Sesame Street, The Simpsons

Ok, I know that TV shows aren't technically the topic of this blog, but this has been blowing up in tons of publications so I thought I'd post about it. As many of you already know, Katy Perry was kicked off Sesame Street for her indecent attire. My personal favorite is when she's running down the street...enjoy Little Johnny. The best comment I've seen has been "wow, this is offensive, Elmo's completely naked and indecently exposed to my children!" I think she could have picked some better attire, but what do you think?



For those Perry fans, never fear, The Simpsons have taken her in. She will be appearing in a Christmas-themed episode. The episode will be a live action segment where the Simpsons characters will appear as puppets. She will lead the gang in a rendition of "The 39 Days of Christmas" and will play Moe's girlfriend! Leaving poor Elmo in the dust, who's "Hot N Cold" now?

Mr. Big Says SATC is Dead!

According to Marie Claire UK, Chris Noth, the star behind Carrie Bradshaw's love interest Mr. Big has come out against the media. At a Jack Goes Boating premiere he said, "It's over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it."

He said this because of the presses' lukewarm reaction to the second Sex and the City movie which hit theaters in late May.

While this last SATC installment wasn't my favorite, I still hope he's wrong. Box office sales for this summer's flick totaled more than $95 million. Let's hope that's enough to keep it going. I think the girls have one last film in them. I just don't want it to end in Abu Dhabi, they have to end it in NYC.

Eternal 'Titanic' Love





















Well, Titanic is on TBS so I thought I'd reflect on the endless love that Master James Cameron portrayed between Jack and Rose on screen. Personally, I think it's more than just an on screen romance. I was so excited to hear that they would be doing Revolutionary Road together...but that wasn't quite the romance I'd been hoping for.

Best Titanic Scenes:
- WHEN Jack wins his way onto Titanic in a lucky game of poker with Fabrizio
- WHEN Rose and Jack first meet as she's attempting suicide
- WHEN Jack first shows up for the main deck dinner
- WHEN Rose and Jack dance in third class
Fingers crossed for their next on screen partnership!

Joint Birthdays!

Birthday parties in the Douglas house must be easy considering Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have the same birthday. Too bad there's a 25 year age difference, Michael is 66 today and Catherine is 41. No judgement.

But between the two I think Michael's having a better birthday this year considering his new film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps earned $7 million yesterday. Happy Birthday to the both of them!

Also sharing this day of birth are Will Smith, Barbara Walters and Mark Hamill.

The Kings Speech Trailer


My two favourite Brits: Helena Bonham Carter and Colin Firth! This film did very well at the Toronto Film Festival and is already predicted to do well at the Oscars. I can't wait!

Emma Watson's Post-Potter Role


Harry Potter's Hermione has landed her first post-Potter role in My Week with Marilyn. The film is directed by British TV producer Simon Curtis and stars Dame Judi Dench and Michelle Williams. The movie focuses on Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, as he documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during production of The Prince of the Showgirl (1957). There's no release date yet.
