We look at the best action-movie heroines. Did your fave lady make the cut?

Way to go, internet - Thor trailer pops up online
By Andrea Miller | Thursday, July 29, 2010 | Clips & Trailers , Comic-Con | () Comments

Thor

Fresh from its much-hyped debut at Comic-Con, the trailer for Kenneth Branagh's Thor has appeared online and we have it for you right now!

It seems viewers are in for another raucous ride, following a conflicted superhero (Aussie hotness Chris Hemsworth) who has to subdue personal demons before he can reclaim his rightful place in line for his father Odin's crown. But first, a mighty tumble to Earth promises to sort things out and force Thor to lose his arrogant ways and, you know, release that sacred hammer. As far as being banished goes, you could do worse than meeting Natalie Portman's Jane Foster.

The trailer also shows us the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, some face-fire-shooting creation fittingly called The Destroyer and a very shirtless Hemsworth.

Dig in and let us know what you think in the comments!

Festival announces 79 world premieres for Venice
By Associated Press and Cineplex Staff | Thursday, July 29, 2010 | Awards & Festivals | () Comments

Somewhere Sofia Coppola's comic drama Somewhere and Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan will make their world premieres at the Venice Film Festival.

The films are among 22 movies from 11 countries competing for the prestigious Golden Lion.

Festival director Marco Mueller told a news conference Thursday that Aronofsky's movie had knocked The American starring George Clooney out of the opening slot. In the end, Clooney's picture wasn't in the festival lineup and Mueller said it will instead open to U.S. audiences that day.

German director Tom Tykwer (Run, Lola, Run) will premier his movie Drei and Tunisian-born director Abdellatif Kechiche will be back in Venice with Venus Noire.

In all, 79 world premieres will be shown at Venice from September 1-11.

The fans have gone home, the costumes have been put away, and the stars and celebs have all returned to the sets from whence they came. That's right, another year of Comic-Con has come and gone. The annual celebration of the popular arts brought with it the usual hype, headlines and hordes of humanity but it also brought with it something new: me! I got to experience the Con in person for the very first time. I reveled in the chaos and craziness as I unleashed my inner-geek and let it loose on a 4-day blitz of everything movie, television and fan-related it could find! By the end of the third day, I was running on pure adrenaline, and by the 4th day I could barely stand-up due to line-up fatigue but somehow I made it through and made my way back home in one piece. If I were to list everything that struck me as memorable, we'd be here all night so I've narrowed it down to what I consider to be the very best of the best for Comic-Con 2010. Take a look!

Gallery: Scott Pilgrim vs the World premiere

Scott Pilgrim

The Hollywood premiere of the hotly-anticipated Pop-Art-live-comic-book-romantic-comedy-Michael-Cera-flick Scott Pilgrim vs the World, filmed in your very own background if you call Toronto home, had everything one could hope to have at a fancy film opening and a few things you didn't even know you wanted.

We're talking Thomas Jane avec giant stogie, mega-talented Alison Pill pulling a Kristen Stewart (ie. wearing a scowl that says she'd rather be anywhere else), Jason Schwartzman and his impressive moustache, Nick Frost just, you know, showing up, deadpan diva Aubrey Plaza going all sexy with a tattered, revealing dress and of course Michael Cera pulling faces and looking somewhere between awkward and uncomfortable. At least he's consistent. And funny.

Check out all the madness now!

French first lady begins latest Woody Allen flick
By Associated Press and Cineplex Staff | Wednesday, July 28, 2010 | On the movies | () Comments

Woody Allen France's first lady, a former supermodel turned songstress, is making her debut as an actress, filming this week in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.

Even her busy husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy, wasn't about to miss the action. He showed up on the Left Bank set Tuesday, in dark suit but no tie, to watch his spouse in her latest creative venture.

Allen, beloved by the French, recruited Carla Bruni-Sarkozy last fall for what is said to be a small role in the romantic comedy which follows a family travelling in Paris for business. France's first lady reportedly plays a museum director.

Cats & Dogs 2 director adds comic book flourish to sequel
By Andrea Miller | Tuesday, July 27, 2010 | Interviews | () Comments
Brad Peyton

Bond references, a cat impersonating Hannibal Lecter and a purrfectly mad Bette Midler. This is how Newfoudland-born filmmaker Brad Peyton does talking-animal, kids’ movies - his way.

The man in the director’s chair for Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, may seem to be a bit of a surprising choice since his early work has more in common with Tim Burton than say, Brad Bird – his 2002 short is called Evelyn: The Cutest Evil Dead Girl – but the bespectacled, bearded 31-year-old knows a golden opportunity when he sees one.

Though the first to admit that he possesses a darker sensibility than the live-action/3D sequel may suggest, being offered the chance to helm a major Hollywood film as his feature debut was too good to pass up.

Angelina Jolie says Pitt is 'wonderful father'
By Associated Press and Cineplex Staff | Tuesday, July 27, 2010 | Celeb News | () Comments
Brad Peyton

Actress Angelina Jolie, in Tokyo for the weekend opening of action thriller Salt, brushed off rumors about her shaky relations with Brad Pitt.

"He was just a wonderful father," she said Tuesday of Pitt, during work on the film, in which she plays a tough spy. He often brought the children to the set, she recalled.

"They played with fake blood, and they found mommy very strange in her different hair," she said.

Pitt and Jolie have been partners since they began a relationship while working on the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. They are raising six children.
