Amelia Earhart, the great pioneer aviatrix, has been impersonated on screen by numerous actresses, among them Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, Diane Keaton and Amy Adams. But never as convincingly as she is by Hilary Swank in this immensely enjoyably biopic from the Indian director who made her name with Salaam Bombay!. With the right short haircut, some orthodontic effects and sporting her regular radiant smile, Swank bears an uncanny resemblance to Earhart and the film borrows the device Billy Wilder used in his Lindbergh film, Spirit of St Louis, of telling her story in flashbacks from an epic flight. In her case, it's the doomed round-the-world trip she embarked on in 1937 in her 40th year, accompanied by ace celestial navigator Fred Noonan.
The film chronicles her early fascination with flight, her companionate marriage to publisher and publicist George Putnam (Richard Gere at his most charming), her two record-breaking transatlantic flights, »

From Hollywood Crush: Who would have thunk it? "Charlie's Angels" is back in full throttle! According to Variety, the concept that originated in 1976 is set to be picked up by ABC. The same guy who adapted the now-defunct Fox series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," Josh Friedman, is set to write and exec produce.
The original show was a hit for five years starring the late, great Farrah Fawcett. That TV show later was adapted into two films starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. Let’s think here. What if Farrah Fawcett had never starred in "Charlie’s Angels", what if Diane Keaton took her spot instead? Or Mia Farrow, maybe? All we know is that if Hollywood Crush were around at the time, we would have had something to say about it!
So, with that being said, we thought it would be rather fascinating to create our »

For Something's Gotta Give, writer-director Nancy Meyers had to convince Diane Keaton to bare all on screen. Six years later, Meyers is back with a new romantic comedy, It's Complicated (in theaters Dec. 25), and this time, it's Alec Baldwin who's doing the stripping. He and Meryl Streep play ex-spouses who, over their son's college-graduation weekend, rekindle their romance -- a tricky situation that becomes even more so when Streep's character starts dating her architect, played by Steve Martin. Unlike Keaton, Baldwin didn't need much arm-twisting to drop trou. "When you do a movie that you like or you're hopeful about, »

There are two things it’s hard to get away from when discussing Woody Allen: the first is that his output is so constant, there’s going to be winners mixed with losers. Over the last couple years, Allen’s talent has been scattershot to say the least, but then he might surprise you with a film like Match Point, or Vicki Christina Barcelona. Even his early funny period had some misfires, but that leads into the second point, which is that Allen has not been strong for a long time. You can never count him out, but the 21st century is easily his weakest period of cinema. Whatever Works, however, was written a very long time ago, and it shows, so it combines early funny with later Woody. My review after the jump.

Shankman's got spirit!
Do you follow the Oscar show news in the way you follow the Oscars? I don't so much, despite this life I lead constantly writin' about the awards themselves. I care who hosts to some degree but I tend to ignore the rest. But I found it interesting this week when director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) was named as one of the producers and his choreography skills were noted as a reason to be enthused about this assignment. At least he has a sense of humor about his, um, limited history with the big event I was one of Paula Abdul's 'Under the Sea' pirates," Shankman said. "The last time I was at the Oscars, I was in Lycra, with a pirate hat on. Shankman's presence must mean more musical numbers. I'm all for musical numbers provided they rehire Hugh Jackman as host. He was so fine last year. »

It's never been easy being a working mom and Hollywood has recognized it for years. From "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton to Sally Field's mom in "Mrs. Doubtfire" to Julia Robert's "Erin Brokovich," movies have depicted the struggles of keeping a career and a family to both comedic and serious extremes. This weekend, Uma Thurman stars in an indie look at the subject matter as a blogger trying to survive a hipper than thou New York City in the new comedy "Motherhood."

In the cover story for the November issue of More magazine, mom-of-two Diane Keaton talks openly about forgoing a relationship to instead focus on family and career.
“I’m free to do what I want to try to do,” she notes. ‘I don’t have to worry that I’m not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else.”
Daughter Dexter, 13, sees things a bit differently however! “It’s [all about] boys right now,” Diane, 63, shares, asking “Could she be more different from me?”
“She goes to them, talks to them. She makes the dates. »

Actress Diane Keaton fears the only way she'd land a lover these days is if she paid him to romance her.
The former big screen sex siren, who previously dated Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino, insists her days of romancing Hollywood's eligible bachelors are over.
The Annie Hall star tells the new issue of More magazine, "I don’t think men even look at me anymore. If anything could work in that area, it would probably be if I paid him (suitor). Then I think we could work out an affable relationship.
"I’m totally for it! I pay for everything else."
But don't cry for Keaton - she doesn't miss having a man around: "It’s a huge part of life that’s missing, yeah, but I don’t miss it.
"I’m free to do what I want to try to do. I don’t have to worry that I’m not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else." »

A Note from the Flying Monkey: Of the many emails I receive every week for my column, some are so good that they simply can’t be answered in just a few words. So from time to time, the editors have decided to let me out of the “cage” of that regular column, in a feature we’re calling Monkey Uncaged!
Q: What, in your opinion, is the worst gay film ever made? Why? – A.R.
A: A couple of months ago, I wrote a list of what I considered to be the ten most “important” gay male films – not what I felt were the “best,” mind you, but the ones that I felt had had the most impact either on the Glbt community or society at large. »

X-men scribe Simon Kinberg and The Devil Wears Prada writer Aline Brosh McKenna have sold a film idea to Paramount for almost $2million, reports Variety.
The untitled feature film will be produced by Star Trek director (and Lost creator) Jj Abrams and Bryan Burk, through their Bad Robot production company.
Paramount has a first-look deal with Bad Robot, which honed the pitch with the two writers. The plot of the project is not being disclosed at this stage.
London-born Kinberg (right) has writing credits including Mr and Mrs Smith, X-Men: The Last Stand and the upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed Sherlock Holmes. He's also a producer on the planned X-Men: First Class prequel.
McKenna's work includes 27 dresses and the upcoming Morning Glory which stars Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton.
The two writers are friends who recently worked together on a rewrite of Fox's Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey. »

Abrams gave some insight into the plans for the forthcoming Star Trek sequel, the possibility of it being done in 3-D and what he sees his involvement with the franchise being, for the foreseeable future.

In love, there are always new stories to be told. But is this the same when it comes to movies? Or for that matter, movies about love? We’ve seen so many romantic comedies roll from opening credits (Diane Keaton, Cary Grant, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, etc), through the first kiss and the last one. When the final credits drop into the screen, some cry, some laugh, but most feel a strong feeling of satisfaction.
You see, love is constantly changing and movies just try to keep up and use the old stories to create new ones. In an attempt to create a new story about a timeless topic, Camille changes all the rules. Our main character, Camille (Sienna Miller), is a blonde beauty who always gets what she wants. That sounds vain, but it isn’t. She is the opposite of vain. In fact she is aloof and charming, »

As you probably know, a cameo in film is a brief appearance by someone who's well known, often instantly recognizable, to audiences at the time the movie is released. Usually the famous person plays him/herself, but not always. Marshall McLuhan, a communication/media theorist who reached his popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, was familiar to audiences who would have seen the 1977 comedy Annie Hall when it first played in theaters, although many viewers might not know him now. Fortunately, his popularity doesn't affect the punchline of the very funny scene he's in.
Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) and Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) are in a long line for a movie, trying not to fight about their sex life, and Alvy is continually annoyed by a guy in line behind him, who rants on pompously and erroneously about any number of topics. And eventually, Alvy is able to do the »

I know I really shouldn't be surprised that last night's season finale of Fox's More to Love left me with feelings of shame and outrage (and a side serving of "Hey, dude got it right!"). After all, the opening montage of bachelor Luke's hometown visit kicked off with images of heifers lazily grazing in a field. Really, Fox? Really, you thought we wouldn't notice you trying to sneak random bovine imagery into your plus-sized dating show? (Insert purse-lipped head-shake here.) Anyhow, Luke's quartet of "meet the family" dates with Malissa (pictured, right) and Tali (left) -- his divorced parents appear to have come from two different planets, and therefore could not share screentime - were amusingly awkward. Luke's dad, of course, couldn't seem to make peace with the fact that Tali came from planet Israel, invoking Jesus' name before the meal and declaring "praise the lord and pass the potatoes »
