Despereaux tries to tell Chef Andre about the Princess’ capture.
I think the marketing team behind Th Tale of Despereaux did not select the right clip to promote the film. Moment, a rodent in a kitchen in a CGI animated movie, does not ring a bell for you? Yeap, Ratatouille! But the two movies can’t really compare… The Tale of Despereaux is maybe an entertaining movie, but it hardly brings anything new… Besides Despereaux isn’t a kitchen mouse: so why did they select this particular clip for promoting the Tale of Despereaux?

But her career is taking her a little farther than she expected.
In New Town Renee Zellweger plays the role of a corporate dominatrix who learns to appreciate the charm of the little country town (New Ulm, Minnesota according to the plot, but the movie was actually filmed in Canada… Patriotism is not that strong anymore Hollywood, but has it ever really been strong?) she just moved in and “surprisingly” falls in love with the local stallion who’s the stereotype of a countrified man.

Knowing is one more tale of the end of the world. The science-fiction film, directed by Alex Proyas, is starring Nicolas Cage as a professor trying to prevent the mysterious prophecy encrypted in the content of a time capsule coming from his son’s elementary school:
Even if the critics bashed Will Smith’s Hancock I did appreciate the movie, and I’m not alone: box office earnings at $228 million are a proof. So I am very glad to hear via Joblo that Will Smith is considering a sequel to Hancock.
Will Smith precises his interest in Hancock 2 saying that “there were a lot of unexplored characters in the HANCOCK universe that would be ripe for a sequel”. And I can but agree: we don’t really know where those God-like heroes come from. There is still room for developing a new story around Hancock.
A remake of Friday The 13th, another cult slasher movie, will be released in February 2009. Let’s watch the latest full length trailer of Friday The 13th:
Fox has been facing the uproar of disappointed Dragonball fans regarding its upcoming movie adaptation of the famous manga. Reshoot are under works, and now it may also have been decided to change the title of the movie. Initially simply titled the movie is said to be retitled Dragonball Evolution according to Coming Soon.
Such a move would not be pointless: hardcore Dragonball may forgive the liberal and unholy take on the manga if it is marketed as a reimagining and not as a real adaptation of Dragonball like previously done.

In the movie Race To Witch Mountain the taxi driver played by Dwayne Johnson aka the Rock would have expected green little aliens with antennas instead of teenagers on the run.

The blue monster (or is it an alien?) from Monsters vs Aliens is called bob and is voiced by Seth Rogen. I bet he used some Pineapple Express to get into the character’s head!

Robert Pattinson, the 107-years-old-but-still-virgin vampire from Twilight, is playing the lead role of Dali in Little Ashes an upcoming drama shedding light on the closet relationship the famous surrealist painter may had have with his male friends. The film is directed by Paul Morrison and is starring Javier Beltran, Matthew McNulty, Marina Gatell and Arly Jover Little Ashes should be released in Spring 2009, no official date yet.
Here below two clips of the Little Ashes movie:
Plot:
“In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite – Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico – who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friends, Margarita. Finaly, in the face of his friends’ preoccupations – and Federico’s growing renown as a poet – Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls. And then one night, in the phosphorescent water, it becomes something else…” (Source: IMDb)
There are two interesting quotes related to this movie that are worth a read. The first is from Dali denying ever entering a relationship with his friend Lorca:
“He was homosexual, as everyone knows, and madly in love with me…He tried to screw me twice… I was extremely annoyed, because I wasn’t homosexual, and I wasn’t interested in giving in. Besides, it hurts. So nothing came of it.”
Salvador Dali
And the second quote is from Scriptwriter Philippa Goslett justifying her decision to depict the affair between Lorca and Dali as fact:
Having done a huge amount of research, it’s clear something happened, no question… When you look at the letters it’s clear something more was going on there….It began as a friendship, became more intimate and moved to a physical level but Dalí found it difficult and couldn’t carry on. He said they tried to have sex but it hurt, so they couldn’t consummate the relationship.
Philippa Goslett
(Scriptwriter of Little Ashes)
If Dali was stopped only because he was afraid to hurt, I hope he learned about lube eventually… Can be useful for straight relations too actually!
By the way the movie takes its title from Salvador Dali’s 1927-28 painting Cenicitas (Little Ashes). It was originally called The Birth of Venus, before being changed to Sterile Efforts and then finally Cencita:

Maybe the relation between Edward and Jacob in twilight was of the hurting kind too before Bella came in? Joking. Robert Pattinson’s performance in Little Ashes shows that this actor is more than the only product of twilight: he was talented before the romantic vampire film and probably has a long movie career ahead of him. Don’t forget about the movie Little Ashes when it’s released!
