Kristen Stewart: On the Road Sans Nudity Wouldn't Work (video)

TheImproper
Kristen Stewart has no regrets about her on-screen nudity in upcoming movie “On the Road.” Anything less, she says, would violated the spirit of the Jack Kerouac book, which became a classic exposition on the ’50s-era Beat Generation. Stewart plays MaryLou, one of the fictionalized characters Kerouac created to represent the real people in his life when he went on the road to gather material for the seminal book. The film also stars Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard and Elisabeth Moss....

Daniel Day Louis Is Abraham Lincoln; But Is He Really Abe?

TheImproper
Daniel Day Lewis gives the most credible performance as Abraham Lincoln since Henry Fonda in the 1939 movie “Young Mr. Lincoln.” But is he Abe? But where’s Abe, the amiable, good humored backwoods lawyer? He's absent from a new trailer, hopefully not the movie. Anytime an actor and director like Steven Spielberg attempt to take on an historical figure as mythological as Lincoln, debate is sure to erupt over the portrayal....

Lana Del Rey Anxiously Awaiting Her Movie Screen Test (photos)

TheImproper
Lana Del Rey could be the next big breakout Hollywood star. At least she’s ready for her photo opportunity and maybe even screen writing career to begin. Hopefully she’ll get off to a better start than her music career. Del Rey, 26, encountered a storm of criticism that she was manufactured and barely talented as a singer after a disastrous debut on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in January. But she has undeniable star power and drop-dead model looks. She’s making a huge splash in fashion and her singing career is flourishing despite the uproar among music critics....

James Bond Film Series Turns 50 This Fall; A Tribute

Matt Kindelmann
One of the most naïve statements I ever uttered was that I wanted to be James Bond. I had no interest in working for the government; I just wanted to live James Bond’s life. I realized I most likely would never work as a British agent, but nothing was going to stop me from being a member of her Majesty’s Secret Service in my head. Pretending my 7-up was a shaken vodka martini, I sipped my drink and watched James Bond on television....

Olivia Wilde Sexes Up Land 'o Lakes in Hilarious Butter Trailer (watch!)

TheImproper
Olivia Wilde’s bad-girl stripper Brooke adds some electricity to a new trailer for “Butter,” a dark comedy about greed, ambition, power and ego played out in an Iowa butter-carving competition. The action kicks off when Bob Pickler, played by Ty Burrell, decides to retire after reigning as Iowa’s champion butter carver for 15 years. The political vacuum touches off a free-for-all that includes his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. No, wrong movie; make that Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), who secretly harbors her own ambitions fostered by years as her husband’s loyal, high-profile sidekick. Only one problem, Barack Obama is standing in her way in the guise of 10-year-old Destiny (Yara Shahidi)....

Arnold's Back! Makes a Last Stand (Literally) in New Trailer (watch!)

TheImproper
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as another over-the-hill action hero who returns in the lead role of a film for the first time since “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” in 2003. He evokes John Wayne’s wizened appeal from late in his career, with an Austrian accent, of course. Hey, if Clint Eastwood can do it, why not him. If he can make this movie a hit, he’s back in business. Fortunately, he’s got a solid supporting cast. Along with Whitaker, Eduardo Noriega stars as escaped drug kingpin Gabriel Cortez, with Peter Stormare, Rodrigo Santoro, Jaimie Alexander, Zach Gilford, Johnny Knoxville and Genesis Rodriguez....

Will Ferrell's 'The Campaign' Could Be Summer Sleeper Hit

Winchester
“The Campaign,” starring an outrageously funny Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, rivals last year’s comedy movie of the summer, “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” a sleeper film starring Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore and Emma Stone. What I liked about “Crazy” was the taut dialogue–relevant and funny–great acting and great direction by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. “The Campaign” scores on all those factors. ...
