Blagojevich Biopic. Casting Call

"One of the many things Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich did this week — instead of resigning from his position, as many people desired — was sign into law an increase on tax credits for films produced in his state. So, it should be only appropriate, and somewhat bittersweet, for the inevitable movie about his life and corruption hearings to be shot there. Now that we’ve got a location for the film, it’s time to cast the players in Blogojevich’s scandalous tale. The Washington Post has already published a list of possible actors to portray the lead (John Travolta, Sean Astin, Gary Cole, Stephen Baldwin, Tom Cruise, Ray Liotta, Charlie Sheen, Mike Myers and Steve Carrell), but more difficult than casting Blogojevich (see our pick below) is determining what other significant figures should be prominently featured. A straight biopic calls for way too many characters, so we’ve narrowed the film down to focus on just Blagojevich’s arrest and subsequent (forthcoming) trial. As always, if ... "

"In a crowded year for Best Actress contention, Anne Hathaway could be the only first-timer to receive an Oscar nomination in the lead category, possibly going up against mainstays such as her Devil Wears Prada costar Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet, as well as the less-nominated vets Nicole Kidman and Kristen Scott Thomas. Her main competition for the outsider, dark horse position is Frozen River’s Melissa Leo (who may benefit from her film’s initiatory screener campaign even though River’s theatrical release was early and hardly noticed), and Happy-Go-Lucky’s Sally Hawkins, whose film just debuted to favorable reviews citing her brilliant (as in talented and bright) performance. But Hathaway is sure to be the victor –– even though her performance in Rachel Gettin "

"Anna Hathaway has come a long way since The Princess Diaries, although speaking to her in person you sort of forget everything she’s done, from Brokeback Mountain to The Devil Wears Prada and now Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married, because she still looks like that young girl thrust into the role of suddenly becoming a princess. Although she might look the same, she’s definitely matured in both her acting and how she handles a press room. Read on to find out about her role as Kym in the movie, why she isn’t entirely satisfied with her previous acting roles, and what she’s doing next. You were in Venice and now in "

"It’s funny how out of control a rumor can spin on the web. The Angelina Jolie as Catwoman “news” has to be at the top of the list of most reported unconfirmed rumors ever. And it’s sad that it’s not actually true, because after seeing Jolie in the dominatrix outfit she wears at the beginning of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I’d be perfectly fine seeing her wear another tight black costume for a possible third Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie. But who instead could play the part, if Jolie is indeed not interested, or not even offered the role (or, obviously, if Catwoman is not in the movie, as screenwriter David Goyer has apparently hinted)? One theory says that Maggie Gyllenhaal will return in the follow-up to The Dark Knight, this time donning a catsuit (

"Released: David FrankelDirector: June 30, 2006*****A fun, if a tad shallow, summer film designed to counterprogram splashy blockbuster "boy" movies, The Devil Wears Prada provides glorious starring turns for both Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, yet comes off feeling empty in the end. Not because of a lack of trying; this story about an ugly duckling (Hathaway) undergoing a complete makeover-both inside and out-with the help of her much feared boss (Streep) wants to say something urgent and powerful about the way females are treated in the workplace-or maybe about fashion itself; it's too concerned with looking good to dig deep enough into the subject matter.Don't get me wrong: there is plenty to recommend on screen, from a wonderfully understated though over the top Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt in a fabulously droll supporting role to Stanley Tucci playing gay, not to mention the stylishly glamorous clothes. Aside from those positives, some points are made by other supporting charac ... "

"This movie was not horrible but I don't really like this kind of movie. It seems a little stupid, and I wasn't crazy about the ending. If you find anything funny about the trailer then you might like the movie, otherwise I would not bother. "

"Since my very good friend is in town, brought some of her movie collection, and decided to show me Waiting for Guffman, she passed off a few movies of hers that she also felt I should see, to which I agreed because they are all on my Netflix queue somewhere or another. She allowed me to borrow six, and the first one I watched was the Devil Wears Prada. She told me she loved this movie, and that she has watched it a gazillion times because Meryl Streep is awesome, and it's a feel-good movie. I agree, to a point. I also disagree, to a point. This is a film based on a book, which I did not read and would, in fact, probably never have read, nor will I pick it up now, because it's about the fashion world, a world I care little about (though I do love clothes, but my personal style is extremely schizophrenic). I became interested in this movie when it was released because Meryl Streep did receive some Oscar buzz last awards season (when does she not receive Oscar buzz?) and be ... "

"I guess I should start off by saying there was one thing about this movie I liked: That it did inspire me to work hard and put my writing career as my top priority. That's not the set-up for a cheesy punch line. It did make me realize that you only have so much time to make something of the world and so I start off this review saying so.Now with that out of the way, The Devil Wears Prada is a cheesy, numb, and trite film. I'll say that again: Trite. The movie isn't so much a scathing comedy as it is a self-congratulatory advertisement of the fashion industry. Perhaps I might have liked it a little more if the outfits actually looked fashionable (there were times I was waiting for the clown balls to show up on some of these dresses) or tried it's hand in satire.The movie centers on Andi (Anne Hathaway), a fresh face out of Northwestern University trying to find a job as a news reporter. She gets an interview at RUNWAY, a fashion magazine (something Andi makes clear s ... "

Liz Phair vs. Philip Glass

"Jeff Wells is caterwauling about the trailer for No Reservations, a remake of the German drama Mostly Martha that Warner Brothers has configured as a star vehicle for Catherine Zeta-Jones. Specifically, he's upset about the music, "that rancid cotton-candy Aguilera or Spears-like pop song playing all through," which is actually a 2005 track by none other than sometime indie rock icon Liz Phair. "Just one listen and I hated it," Wells whines. "Screechy and alley-catty with a piercing helium wail." Wells notes that the No Reservations website is toned with an entirely different tune--he theorizes it might be by Philip Glass, who's on the books as having composed the Reservations score. Regardless, Wells sees the discrepancy as a sign of behind-the-scenes trouble. "[W]hen a movie sends out radically conflicting musical messages in one medium as opposed to another, there' "
