Keith Girard
Michelle Williams is startling with tousled blonde hair in a new photo spread in the UK edition of Elle magazine that celebrates bright spring colors. Williams has a new movie on the way about forbidden love in World War II. The film, “Suite française,” is her first since 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful,” a Disney blockbuster that was atypical for her career. Williams, 34, has always favored smaller indie productions like 2005’s “Brokeback Mountain,” 2010’s “Blue Valentine” and 2011’s “My Week with Marilyn.”...

Russell Crowe Scolds Hollywood Women: Age Isn’t Just a Number

Keith Girard
Russell Crowe thinks too many actresses in Hollywood refused to acknowledge that thy are no longer young enough to play ingenue roles and complain instead about the lack of parts for them in major films. We say he misses the point. The issue is has more to do with the fact that men play lead romantic roles in movies into the 50s and even 60s, while women are largely excluded from those parts after they hit 40–and sometimes sooner....

The move is unprecedented in the annals of film-making but the Georgia-based chain said it decided to make the move after receiving assurances from Sony that it would support theaters that pull the film. Sony is moving ahead with the release on Christmas Day....

22 Jump Street Hops at Box Office; Why Comedies Are Scoring Big

Keith Girard
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have proved once again that crude humor and sight gags rule at the box office. Their film sequel, “22 Jump Street,” is expected to gross $60 million over the weekend and claim the No. 1 spot. But Why? As a picture, nothing particularly distinguishes “22 Jump Street.” It’s a formulaic rehash of the first movie. But it has one thing going for it… it’s funny. And that’s good enough for audiences these days. The operative word… escapism. ...
