Estelle Reiner, wife of comedy legend Carl Reiner and mother of director Rob Reiner, passed away last Saturday at the age of 94. Reiner was perhaps best known for her cameo in the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally..., in which she uttered the line "I'll have what she's having," after Meg Ryan's infamous orgasm-faking scene.
Reiner enjoyed cameos in several other films, including The Man with Two Brains and Fatso. She also dabbled in music and painting.
Reiner is survived by her husband and three children.

Singer/Actress Reiner Dies
30 October 2008 4:59 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Estelle Reiner - who famously gushed "I'll have what she's having" in When Harry Met Sally - has died at the age of 94.
The singer/actress, wife of funnyman Carl Reiner and mother of actor/director Rob Reiner, passed away at her home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles on Tuesday.
She became a Hollywood legend for her cameo role in the 1989 romantic comedy in which she uttered the immortal line to a waiter at a New York delicatessen after Meg Ryan's character faked an orgasm.
The fame which followed Reiner's appearance in the film was a huge boost to her career as a jazz singer. She went on to record six albums and continued recording and performing until as recently as last year.
Reiner is survived by her husband and three children. The cause of death had not been released as WENN went to press.
6 Days to the Election Movie Watch - "The American President"
29 October 2008 8:27 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
Up until Election Day on November 4th, we'll be taking a look at one movie every day that involves an election, which gives us seven great political movies to discuss. With 6 days to go, let's start with movie #2! The American President (1995) Before he redefined political fiction and swept the Emmys year after year with The West Wing, Aaron Sorkin warmed up by writing a romantic comedy set in the White House. Michael Douglas plays President Andrew Shepherd, a widower and single father who falls for an environmental lobbyist played by Annette Bening. Rob Reiner directed the film, right after directing Sorkin’s first screenplay, A Few Good Men (let’s all just forget that North fiasco).

DVD Review: Hell Ride (2008)
26 October 2008 11:26 PM, PDT | From The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news
When you see .Quentin Tarantino Presents. attached to a film, you expect a violent Seventies throwback that fits the .grindhouse. ethos. And that.s exactly what you get with 2008.s Hell Ride. In 1976, a babe named Cherokee Kisum (Julia Jones) gets brutally murdered.
As the film progresses, this event ties into modern times, as we see how it affects the Victors biker gang and their leader Pistolero (Larry Bishop). A rival gang called the Six-Six-Sixers starts to kill members of the Victors. Pistolero and the other Victors go after the Six-Six-Sixers for revenge, so the movie follows the violent clashes between the two sets of bikers.
No one goes to see something like Hell Ride in the expectation that they.ll find a deep, meaningful character portrait. However, they might anticipate something a little better constructed than this. My synopsis offers a rough approximation of the story, and it makes

Mid-Week Movie News Wrap Up - Oct. 23, 2008
23 October 2008 9:45 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Yes, it’s that time of the week again.
This week:
Rob Reiner reads the Book of Shadows; 13 isn’t unlucky for Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham; we take a peek at Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino; will you see Saw V and Spider-Man makes sure that Sam Raimi doesn’t know Jack.
1. Rob Reiner will direct the action-adventure film Book of Shadows.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
“The story follows a young man who must embark on the perilous journey of first love and face many trials of maturity while on the dangerous quest to close a mythical tome called “Book of Shadows” in order to restore balance to the world.”
Sounds like it could bring the director back to his Princess Bride heyday.

Rob Reiner in talks to direct ‘Book of Shadows’
21 October 2008 8:33 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news
Castle Rock has acquired Zoe Green’s action-adventure pitch entitled “Book of Shadows,” with Rob Reiner attached to direct.
The Hollywood Reporter says the plot centers on a man who encounters the challenges of first love and maturity on his quest to close a book that could restore balance to the world.
Reiner apparently came up with the original idea, while Green picked up on the project and developed it further.
Reiner most recently directed “The Bucket List.” His credits also include “When Harry Met Sally” and “A Few Good Men.”
Final word: This premise just sounds incredibly odd. Don’t know at all what to make out of this at this stage.

News Bites: Rob Reiner, Sam Raimi and Mickey Rourke Walk Into a Bar ...
21 October 2008 3:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Color me not surprised, but still disappointed -- after raising the hopes of Ash fans everywhere at Comic Con, Sam Raimi is throwing his best hero back to that damned back burner with regards to an Evil Dead 4. In a discussion with MTV, he said that there was too much work needed for Drag Me to Hell, so "we never did it," and it's back on hold. Raimi swears he'll still do it, but at this rate, it'll just end up being Bubba Ho-Tep with Ash instead of Elvis. Someone needs to point a boom stick at Raimi's back side and get his arse in gear.
According to Variety, 50 Cent, Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham (there's a trio that could kick anyone's ass) have signed on to star opposite Sam Riley in the English-language remake of 13 Tzameti. Film tells of a man who steals a mysterious package then watches it

Reiner in Shadows
21 October 2008 2:49 PM, PDT | From JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news
When you hear the words "action-adventure", you may not immediately think of Rob Reiner, who's perhaps best known for his portrayal of "Meathead" on "All In The Family" and his directing work on the legendary mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and romcoms like When Harry Met Sally. But Reiner is getting into the chair for the unfortunately titled Book Of Shadows (which is unrelated to the ill-received Blair Witch sequel of the same name). The story, from Reiner and...

Rob Reiner Returning To Princess Bride Territory
21 October 2008 1:32 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
Ever miss the Rob Reiner who made movies like The Princess Bride, rather than the guy who made soppy romantic comedies like Alex & Emma and Rumor Has It...? Apparently Rob Reiner does too, since his next project sounds like a throwback to The Princess Bride that might actually have the potential to be good. The Hollywood Reporter says Reiner's next directing project will be Book of Shadows, an adventure story written by Zoe Green that was originally dreamed up by Reiner himself. The movie stars a young man "who must embark on the perilous journey of first love and face many trials of maturity while on the dangerous quest to close a mythical tome called "Book of Shadows" in order to restore balance to the world." Throw in some Rodents of Unusual Size and you may as well have Inigo Montoya involved.. All of this is fine by me-- ...

Rob Reiner Living In the 'Shadows'
21 October 2008 5:46 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
Rob Reiner is switching gears, directing his first action-adventure movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Reiner, whose career had really been foundering over the past fifteen years before The Bucket List became a smash, is on board to helm Book of Shadows, which, we take it, is somehow different from the sequel to The Blair Witch Project that also bears the name.
The story goes that Reiner had a basic idea he'd been kicking around, and he brought it up in a meeting with writer Zoë Green. Green, in turn, wrote the screenplay around that idea and sold it to Castle Rock, the production house co-founded by Reiner back in the 1980s.
Here are the basics: A young male protagonist, "a perilous journey of first love" (whatever the hell that is), a dangerous quest, and a mythical book that can restore balance to the world.
Man, there was a time

Near-miss Casting Calamities

Would Harrison Ford's career have been different had he taken the role of Meathead on "All in the Family?"
Ford turned down the classic part of Archie Bunker's son-in-law, Michael "Meathead" Stivic, which ended up becoming Rob Reiner's breakout role.
And Rosie O'Donnell almost landed in our living room on a daily basis as Jerry Seinfeld's female best friend, Elaine Benes, on "Seinfeld," the character Julia Louis-Dreyfus nailed.

Interview: Larry Bishop on "Hell Ride"
7 August 2008 6:52 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news
By Aaron Hillis
Born in Philadelphia and raised in New Jersey, Larry Bishop (son of Rat Pack comic Joey Bishop) began his acting career after high school, working in comedy with friends like Rob Reiner and Richard Dreyfuss. Though he's guest-starred on TV sitcoms like "Laverne & Shirley," "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Barney Miller," Bishop is far better known for being a drive-in theater badass, appearing as an American International Pictures contract player in wild-and-wooly biker flicks like 1968's "The Savage Seven" and 1971's "Chrome and Hot Leather." On an acting hiatus after 1983 (more on that later), Bishop returned to the screen in the mid-'90s with new credits to his name, writing the script for "Underworld" and making his directorial debut, "Mad Dog Time."
Enter exploitation film guru Quentin Tarantino. Understandably a fan of Bishop's Aip years, Tarantino cast him in a bit part for the second volume of "Kill Bill,
