Is there a difference between “movie stars” and actors? Both of them act, obviously, but one of them does it as an art form and the other does it – how does one say this? — for the adulation and the box office. There has been endless speculation about psychological motivations. Why would someone need…
David Fincher’s “Se7en” starts at 8/7c.
On behalf of germophobes everywhere, I’d like to give a big Bronx cheer to Steven Soderbergh for his upcoming film “Contagion,” an all-too-convincing disease thriller about a highly contagious flu that threatens to destroy all of human civilization. Looks like I won’t be sleeping ever again, thanks Steven. Before you lather up with Purel and…
Bruce Springsteen inspires a lot of things: awe, admiration, dancing. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the producers of “Glee” want to cast him as a motivational speaker.

With the release of “Iron Man 2,” the Marvel Comics franchise is officially two-for-two — two thoroughly competent, occasionally inspired yet ultimately forgettable films that promise sly engagement with real-world anxieties, then set that promise aside in favor of corporate intrigue and endless scenes of robots bashing the crap out of each other. The first…
Honky Tonk! Post “Crazy Heart,” there is yet another country music movie coming out. “Love Don’t Let Me Down,” stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Leighton Meester (“Gossip Girl”), Garrett Hedlund (“TRON Legacy”), and country star Tim McGraw. He’s one of those rare country music Democrats you know, so I’m sure there was no uncomfortable silences between the…
If you’ve ever wondered how celebrities pick the charities they get involved with, Jonathan Foreman explains it all in the Times — basically, as with so many things, their agents handle it.
