The hip-hop star is also set to punch his way onto the big screen in 'Southpaw', in which he will play an

LOS ANGELES - On the surface, Mike Leigh makes movies about the humdrum lives of ordinary people, but there's nothing humdrum about the psychological revelations he brings forth, and his people are far too acutely observed to seem ordinary.
His latest movie, "Another Year," is a quintessential Mike Leigh performance. It deepens as it goes along until, in the end, in its final close-up, it overwhelms. Leigh's movies have a way of sneaking up on you. The mundane morphs into

With "True Grit," Joel and Ethan Coen bring their archetypal western storytelling to the screen, lassoing together a leathered tale of spur-jangly redemption and cold-blooded murder, effectively evoking an age of weathered men and stark violence.
The picture is gorgeous, unexpectedly humorous, horrific, and delightfully saddle sore, mustering the precise amount of Coen-askew flourish to accurately place their fingerprints on a well-worn tale.
"True Grit" is a welcome

Can bad guys turn good? Are heroes made, not born? Can a villain grow into a hero? Good questions. Meaningful questions. Topical questions.
Megamind maybe an animation film, meant to please kids with its wonderful imagery. But behind all the artistry, there are important philosophical and ethical debates. And the fact that they are conducted in a humorous and breezy manner only adds value to the film.
Megamind is one of the cutest villains in contemporary cinema. With his

LOS ANGELES - Why do most Indian films that tackle the horror genre don't really succeed in their endeavour of scaring the viewer? I mean, real stories concerning supernatural forces continue to make the rounds to this date and make us break into a cold sweat, especially when you listen to them in rapt attention at nights.
So why don't these stories succeed in their motive of scaring us in the dark confines of a cineplex? Stories about ghosts, spirits, haunted mansions and

LOS ANGELES - In certain respects, David O. Russell's boxing drama 'The Fighter' is a sports movie masquerading as an Oscar grab. It bears many of the hallmarks of awards ponies that are often trotted out this time of year:
It's set in a working-class town (Lowell, Massachusetts) in the midst of demographic upheaval; one of its lead actors, Christian Bale, put his health at risk so that he might realistically portray the corrosive effects of crack addiction; its director took

Few movies in recent years - if any at all - have received the sort of adulatory reception from key critics as Christopher Nolan's Inception. Except for a handful of critics, many of whom display their own cinema erudition by faulting it for borrowing from other prestigious movies of the past, most reviewers are vying with one another to discover the most excessive hyperbole to describe the film.
But they also have a particularly daunting task in trying to summarize the film - in

NEW YORK - Few movies can boast as much star power as Robert Schwentke's RED. With big-name actors such as Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and cameo of old-timer Ernest Borgnine, one might think Red is a recipe for success, yet it proves a good film is not made with sheer star power alone.
The film begins with RED, Retired and Extremely Dangerous, CIA agent Frank Moses (Willis) being attacked by a government hit squad. After escaping the young and

DUBAI: The seventh Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) opened on Sunday with the Tom Hooper-directed "The King's Speech" starring Colin Firth, which movie pundits say is Oscar-bound.
Firth plays the leading role as Britain's King George VI in the historical comedy set in a time of fading empire. A total of 157 films from 57 countries are taking part in this year's DIFF, where new Arab talent is also on show, particularly from Egypt.

Mike Tyson is hoping his popular turn in 'The Hangover' will lead to a full-time career as a movie star. The former boxer appeared in the successful 2009 comedy playing himself, and he's set to return for another cameo role in the upcoming sequel.
Tyson has also enjoyed small parts in TV shows such as 'Entourage' and 'Brothers', and he is now focusing all his efforts on becoming a professional actor. He tells TV newsman Larry King, "Yes. I'm pursuing an acting career." When King

NEW YORK: Angelina Jolie has downplayed the controversy surrounding her Bosnian war movie, insisting she has the backing of the entire cast and the country's leaders.
Jolie has stepped behind the camera for the first time for the as-yet-untitled wartime love story, which is set in the region and was shot in Hungary and Bosnia in October and November. The shoot was initially halted when Bosnian government officials revoked her filming permit after they misinterpreted the plot as a

MUMBAI: Camps in Bollywood are common. Salman's friends are not close to Shah Rukh Khan and vice versa. Any attempt by any member of such a camp to appease the rival star is seen as a turncoat. We have learnt of one such development that is raising eyebrows in tinsel town.
Kunal Kohli is known to be an Aamir loyalist and not particularly close to SRK. In fact, we know that the filmmaker hasn't even met King Khan in a couple of years. But suddenly, his forthcoming movie 'Break Ke

Paris Hilton has settled a lawsuit in which she was accused of failing to properly promote her 2006 movie flop 'Pledge This!'
Bosses at Worldwide Entertainment Group sued Hilton and her company, Paris Hilton Entertainment, for breach of contract in 2008, claiming the socialite/actress failed to fulfill her promotional duties as the star of the movie - and demanded she pay back £666,600.
But court papers, filed in Miami, Florida on Thursday suggest a settlement has been

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, known for his controversial comments, again spoke his mind when he said that his forthcoming film "Rakta Charitra" was not for people who are fond of Karan Johar's family drama " Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".
Varma and Johar have often locked horns on various subjects on social networking sites and in front of the media and Varma didn't lose an opportunity to do the same at an event organised here, where the director showed 30 minutes of footage of "Rakta
