Robert De Niro's legendary career is built on characters who end up owning the rooms they walk into. From ruthless mob bosses, streetwise hustlers, and brooding antiheroes, the actor, whom Martin Scorseseand Quentin Tarantino have heaped praise on as the best of his generation, has mastered playing men hardened by life. Travis Bickle’s slow-burning descent into chaos in Taxi DriverandJake Lamotta’s self-destructive fury in Raging Bullare just some of the roles that are quintessential De Niro. But he has also played some softer, quieter protagonists, including Everybody’s Fine, in which heembodies melancholy as a lonely father confronting his failures in parenting, and Flawless, where he isa physically and emotionally broken man learning empathy.

Kate Beckinsale's 2024 spy movie is a streaming success despite its 30% Rotten Tomatoes audience score. The English actress made her feature film debut in 1993 with a brief role in Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing and, during the remainder of the 1990s, continued to star in British costume dramas such as Prince of Jutland, Cold Comfort Farm, Emma, and The Golden Bowl. During the early 2000s, Beckinsale starred in films from a variety of genres, including Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, the romantic comedy Serendipity, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator, and Click.

However, since taking on the role of Selene in the Underworld franchise from 2003 to 2016, Kate Beckinsale has become best known for action movies, also including Van Helsing, Whiteout, Contraband, Total Recall, and Jolt. She's also received some critical acclaim for her performances in smaller dramas such as Snow Angels, Nothing but the Truth, Everybody's Fine, Love & Friendship,...

Prime Video has launched the first official trailer for Kate Beckinsale's next kickass actioner Canary Black, which will see the former Underworld star play a top CIA operative that is forced to go rogue to save her kidnapped husband while simultanously working to prevent the start of World War 3.

The full synopsis reads, "A top CIA operative, Avery Graves, is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, she must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis."

Actor Timothée Chalamet is a critical darling, with many of his films receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews alongside commercial success. He was also nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for his work in 2017’s Call Me by Your Name. However, despite a glowing career of critical acclaim, one film in Chalamet’s filmography remains a catastrophic failure.

Olivia Wilde in Love the Coopers

In 2015, Chalamet starred in the star-studded Holiday comedy film Love the Coopers. However, despite featuring the likes of Olivia Wilde and Diane Keaton, the film could not be saved from being a critical mistake in Chalamet’s career, becoming his lowest-rated film. Here is why Love the Coopers failed despite boasting one of the best ensemble casts for a comedy film.

Love the Coopers Remains Timothée Chalamet’s Lowest Rated Film on Rotten Tomatoes

Timothée Chalamet‘s career has soared recently with the actor receiving critical acclaim...

Following the conclusion of the Dceu with the release of ‘Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom,’ James Gunn has been diligently preparing for the production of ‘Superman: Legacy,’ an upcoming Superman movie that both Gunn and Safran view as the true starting point of the Dcu, despite ‘Creature Commandos’ being released earlier.

Known for his active presence on social media, Gunn frequently engages with fans, addressing questions, dispelling rumors, and offering valuable insights into the anticipated final product. Fans are particularly eager about the cast members, with Gunn stating that over 90% of the cast is already confirmed. Another aspect generating excitement is the selection of technical personnel poised to elevate ‘Superman: Legacy’ into the cinematic masterpiece envisioned by Gunn.

Responding to inquiries on Threads about potential cinematographers for the project, Gunn enthusiastically revealed that Henry Braham, a cinematographer he has previously collaborated with, is set to take on the role.

Henry Braham,...

Ever since the Dceu concluded with the reBit lease of ‘Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom’ Gunn has been working tirelessly to start production on ‘Superman: Legacy’ an upcoming Superman movie that both Gunn and Safran consider the true beginning of the Dcu despite ‘Creature Commandos’ being released first.

Gunn is quite active on social media, and more often than not, he answers fan questions and debunks rumors, as well as provides useful insights regarding what the finished product might be like. The aspect of the movie that fans are most excited about are certainly the cast members (and Gunn claims that he has more than 90% of the cast locked in) and the technical personnel set to transform ‘Superman: Legacy’ into a prime movie Gunn imagines it to be.

Gunn was recently asked on Threads about potential names that might serve as cinematographers for the upcoming project, and Gunn was more than...

There’ll be some happy holidays on Prime Video in December, as the streamer’s seasonal offerings hope to keep the fires warm in your home this month!

As such, there are quite a few new original holiday movies coming to the service. At the beginning of the month, Eddie Murphy stars in Candy Cane Lane. In this film, the Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America star plays a determined man who is willing to go above and beyond to win the annual Christmas home decoration contest in his neighborhood – even if it means making a very magical deal.

The DC universe will also be getting festive in December thanks to Merry Little Batman, an animated feature that sees Batman’s son, Damian Wayne, stumble upon a villainous plot on Christmas eve, one that may give him a chance to save the day when his dad isn’t around.

The new animated film Leo feels like a passion project for Adam Sandler, who gave it his all, even though it was just through his voice, to bring a lizard alive on the screen. A lizard of all animals! Sure, there has been Rango, where Rango was a chameleon, but he could at least change colors! A lizard just sounds off for some reason, and here Sandler voices, not a young lizard but a 74-year-old one who wants to see the world, with probably just a year left before it croaks. And yet there is a heartwarming story here, where the lizard named Leo becomes the reason why the lives of fifth graders change for the better. Some stories have a plot that is perhaps too grim to be dealt with directly, and this is where children’s stories come in. Sometimes, they can harbor great themes that even lengthy...

“Nanny McPhee” director Kirk Jones is set to take on Donald Trump in his first television series, “You’ve Been Trumped.”

The drama, based on Anthony Baxter’s 2011 documentary, tells the story of a small Scottish village who took on the then-reality TV star when he tried to build a golf course in a nature reserve. Jones, who has previously written and directed “Waking Ned” and “Everybody’s Fine,” is also writing the project while Baxter will serve as a creative consultant.

“There was a reason why the world’s media was drawn to this story in 2006 and why there was such a determined effort to prevent Anthony Baxter’s excellent documentary of the same name, being released in 2011,” said Jones. “A special site of scientific interest was stripped of its status and a community of decent people faced an unwanted aggressor. This is a story that needs to be...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and filmmakers and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.

Today, Conor and I dish on our movie crushes. More specifically, the movie crush from my life as a young cinephile: Kate Beckinsale.

The B-Sides in the pipeline are: Laurel Canyon, Tiptoes, Nothing but the Truth, Whiteout, and Everybody’s Fine.

The sheer diversity of these five pictures cannot be overstated. Beckinsale, while known by most Americans for her role in the Underworld franchise, comes from a comedy lineage in the U.K., the daughter of sitcom legend Richard Beckinsale. Soon enough, period pieces like Much Ado About Nothing gave way to Hollywood dramas like Brokedown Palace and indie spotlights like The Last Days of Disco for Kate Beckinsale. And then… Pearl Harbor!

All of these...

According to reports, the crash happened after David picked up Brooklyn from a match at the Arsenal soccer team's center in Hertfordshire, England. The father and son did not suffer serious injuries, although an eyewitness reportedly said the retired soccer star's shoulder appeared to be hurting. According to The Telegraph, the driver's side of David's Audi was damaged, and the vehicle's air bags deployed upon impact. "They were shaken," a source reportedly told the newspaper.

We also just posted a gallery of people we think have a chance at being breakout stars by the time September rolls around.

We're going to look at the stakes for them this summer, and how this could change things for them.

• Hats off! The Observer's 2000 interview with Philippe Noiret

In 1988, during the first round of auditions to cast the lead boy in his next film, the director Giuseppe Tornatore asked eight-year-old Salvatore Cascio what cinema meant to him. The young Cascio thought for a moment. "For me," he said, "cinema is like an enormous television."

"He looked a bit taken aback, and then he laughed," says Cascio, now 34, and speaking from his home near the Sicilian town of Palazzo Adriano, where Tornatore shot much of Cinema Paradiso. "I'd never even been to the cinema before – I didn't really know what it was. So I think my answer amused him. Perhaps it's what got me the part.

Every family has a different set of dynamics for how siblings and parents communicate problems and deal with crises, and writer and director Kirk Jones’s mellow drama Everybody’s Fine explores that idea rather nicely. As four siblings deal with an undisclosed ordeal afflicting one among them, their father, played by Robert De Niro, takes it upon himself to connect with each of them and in the process gets the impression there’s something he’s not being told. A bit uneven at times thanks to the story using random strangers to impart pearls of wisdom or set in motion certain obstacles, where Everybody's Fine really shines is when De Niro goes head to head with his three grown and present children, acted admirably by Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a touching drama that hits all the right notes.

The Italian poet, novelist and screenwriter Tonino Guerra, who has died aged 92, brought something of his own poetic world to the outstanding films he co-scripted with, among others, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni and Francesco Rosi, but also many non-Italian directors including Theo Angelopoulos and Andrei Tarkovsky. Perhaps his most creative contribution was to Fellini's colourful account of life in a small coastal town in the 1930s, Amarcord (1973), of which he was truly co-author, because the film reflected their common experiences growing up in Romagna.

The two were born in the region a couple of months apart – Fellini in Rimini and Guerra in Santarcangelo, in the hills above the Adriatic resort, the son of a street vendor father.

Guerra's own "amarcord" ("I remember" in dialect) is scattered over many books of poetry and short stories. He first started writing...

Well, it's not specifically only for dudes, but the new trailer for What to Expect When You're Expecting is clearly trying to pull in the male audience with most of the focus being pulled towards the group of guys taking care of their kids. Thankfully, that includes some decent comedy from Rob Huebel, Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon, and more as they try to teach Rodrigo Santoro the rules of hanging out with them and their children. Lennon says not to judge, but this film is desparate to convince guys that this isn't just a typical romantic comedy for the ladies, when the first trailer showed it was exactly that. Watch! Here's the new trailer for Kirk Jones' What to Expect When You're Expecting, from Yahoo: Kirk Jones (Everybody's Fine, Waking Ned Devine) directs What to Expect What You're Expecting, written by Shauna Cross (Whip It) and Heather Hach (Freaky Friday...

British actress Kate Beckinsale returned to the big screen after a long break to reprise her role as sexy vampire Selene in Underworld Awakening.

The fourth chapter in the Underworld horror franchise hit cinemas in January.

Kate will be back in action alongside Mark Wahlberg in Contraband - out in the UK on March 16 - and with husband Len Wiseman's remake of Total Recall, co-starring Colin Farrell and released in August.

So where has she been these past three years? And what's it been like getting back into action-movie mode?

Prior to the recent Underworld adventure, we last saw Kate on screen in 2009 in the drama Everybody's Fine and the poorly-received comic book adaptation Whiteout.

Another film she worked on in 2009 with Matt Dillon and Vera Farmiga went straight to DVD, and she says a Hollywood writers' strike meant there were few projects around.

Though this weekend will see the clash of dozens of A-list talent in New Year's Eve, next year a smaller number of big stars will find themselves pregnant in the ensemble romantic comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting, based on the best-selling instructional book by Heidi Murkoff. Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid, Glee's Matthew Morrison and many more star in the film which follows five different couples expecting the arrival of a child in their lives. There's barely a chuckle in this trailer, even with Rob Huebel and Thomas Lennon. Here's the trailer for Kirk Jones' What to Expect When You're Expecting from Yahoo!

Eddie Murphy is in the middle of a comeback with his "Tower Heist" film and the upcoming job of hosting the Academy Awards. But even though he has delivered box office bomb after box office bomb during the last few years, he was only the second most overpaid actor in Forbes' list of Hollywood's Most Overpaid Stars. Taking first place is Drew Barrymore, whose films returned just $0.40 for every dollar the studios spent on her. The actress doesn't earn as much as some of the other people on the list, but her films have consistently performed poorly, like "Everybody's Fine" and "Lucky You." Murphy landed in second place with hit films grossing $2.70 for every dollar spent on him. "Imagine That" and "Meet Dave" earned the actor millions, but neither film earned back its production budget. Looking at the rest of the list, you might find it surprising that Reese Witherspoon,...

Forbes magazine's list of the lowest-grossing stars is headed by star of box-office flops Going the Distance and Whip It

If your name is Will Ferrell, today is a (relatively) good day. The star of The Land of the Lost and The Other Guys can no longer be tarnished with the mantle of Hollywood's least profitable star following the publication of the Forbes magazine list of the top 10 most overpaid actors.

Drew Barrymore is the new queen of excess after Forbes noted that her recent films pulled in a meagre 40 cents per $1 spent. By comparison Ferrell, who has famously topped the list for the last two years running, is now worth $3.50 per $1.

The Saturday Night Live alumnus still finds himself in third place on the list largely thanks to the box-office failure of The Land of the Lost ($70m return on a $100m budget) in 2009. Last year's The Other Guys...

On the same weekend that Eddie Murphy opens his comeback flick "Tower Heist" comes the news that he joins rom-com queen Drew Barrymore atop a list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors in the business. Forbes makes the case that these two movie stars aren't worth the bank they are making.

The site used an involved equation to figure out which celebrities would make the list. Celebrities qualified for it based on a set of criteria. One: They had to earn a large salary. Two: They had to have at least three films released in at least 500 theaters in the past five years. (Animated flicks and films released after May 1, 2011, didn't count.)

But wait, it didn't stop there. Using their Celebrity 100 list, Forbes calculated each star's...

Washington, November 4: A Forbes.com poll has revealed that Drew Barrymore and Eddie Murphy are Hollywood's most overpaid actors.

Barrymore's recent movies like Whip It, Everybody's Fine and Going the Distance have generated a return of 0.40 dollars for every 1-dollar that she has been paid, according to the poll's calculations.

Coming in second place, Eddie Murphy's films generated only 2.70 dollars per dollar, Contactmusic said, quoting the poll's findings.

Barrymore and Murphy aren't the only overpaid stars on the list. Even Oscar winners like Reese Witherspoon and Denzel Washington found themselves among the.

Los Angeles, Nov 4: Drew Barrymore has been named the most overpaid actor in Hollywood by Forbes magazine.

Barrymore tops Forbes 2011 list of Hollywood's Most Overpaid Actors list with a return average of 40 percent for every dollar movie studios spend on her.

The 36-year-old's films have failed to rake in moolah at the box office in the past five years. 'Everybody's Fine' earned only $16 million globally and 'Lucky You' brought in only $8 million.

The second position went to Eddie Murphy. He returns $2.70 for every dollar spent on him. Will Farrell is at the third position with a return average.
