Movie News & Gossip - YAHOO!

Posted: 12 Jan 2010 12:26 AM PST

- Capsule reviews of films opening this week:

"Fantastic Mr. Fox" — With George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray leading the top-notch voice cast, director Wes Anderson has found an ideal story and medium — stop-motion animation — to bring his cockeyed vision to the cartoon world. In the hands of "Rushmore" director Anderson, Roald Dahl's children's book about a poultry-thieving fox gets loving treatment and a distinct handcrafted style that sets it apart from the sleek computer-generated imagery dominating animation today. Clooney provides the voice of a fox whose capers against three evil farmers bring the mechanized wrath of the human world down on him, his family and a menagerie of neighbors. It's lightweight fun, yet the film succeeds on all levels, presenting cute and clever varmints to charm children while offering adults merry screwball humor that slyly stretches the film's family-friendly rating. PG for action, smoking and slang humor. Running time: 88 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Metal Gear Solid movie shelved - Den Of Geek

Posted: 12 Jan 2010 01:17 AM PST

We could start by getting the obvious gags and comments out of the way. For there are some of us who felt like we'd sat through more than one movie by the time the end credits rolled on Metal Gear Solid 4. While there were moments of real gaming brilliance in the game, it still felt to us like we were being force-fed cut scene after cut scene before we were given permission to actually play the bloody game. Granted, the cut scene in games debate is perhaps one for another time. But yikes, did Metal Gear Solid 4 test our eyeballs. It felt like having to sit through someone's holiday snaps before they'd let you have a drink.

It did, though, seem logical to extend the game into a movie proper, given that those behind the game seemed very keen to show off their filmmaking skills. And it seemed that that's what was going to happen, with producer Mike De Luca on board.

However, De Luca has now given an interview to Collider which brings the prospect of a Metal Gear Solid movie to an end. He told that site that "I don't think it's going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated will at this point on the side of certain parties to see a movie get made." revealing that for the time being at least, the film wasn't happening.

That said, there is the small matter of the upcoming Prince Of Persia movie coming out this summer, and all eyes will be on that. If it does well, as it probably will, then one or two videogames may well see their path to the big screen cleared. And Metal Gear Solid, along with Halo, could be the obvious beneficiaries.

Christina Aguilera Gets Close To Twilight Star On Set Of New Movie ... - Entertainmentwise

Posted: 12 Jan 2010 02:35 AM PST

Christina Aguilera looks every bit the movie star as she cradles co-star Cam Gigandet on the set of their new movie, Burlesque.

The singer-turned-actress got up close and personal with the Twilight actor in California yesterday.

Wearing a glamorous head scarf, Christina found herself in the passenger seat as a leather-clad Cam took control of a Triumph motorbike.


Christina Aguilera and Cam Gigandet film scenes from new movie, Burlesque.

Christina, who plays the role of Ali in Burlesque, completed her look with a pink leather jacket, black jeans and matching boots.

Due to be released later this year, the movie tells the story of a small-town girl who travels to LA and finds work in a burlesque dancing club.

Burlesque also stars Kristen Bell, Cher and Scottish actor Alan Cumming.
