Stage fans, we find ourselves on a weekend where lots of the star-driven shows on the boards -- ranging from Oleanna and After Miss Julie to A Steady Rain and Hamlet -- are set to close. Single tear.

Steven Soderbergh plans break
4 December 2009 12:00 AM, PST | Virgin Media - Movies | See recent Virgin Media - Movies news »
Steven Soderbergh is considering retiring. The 'Erin Brockovich' filmmaker admits he is ready to take a break after finishing work on his current projects but says he doesn't know if he would ever return. He said: ''I'm winding down. It's time for a change. I feel the need to recalibrate, just step away. ''I'll go away and come back with a different approach - or I won't. Maybe a chage of career is in order.'' Before he can take a step back, among his current projects is a 3D musical version of 'Cleopatra' with Catherine Zeta Jones. Speaking about the project, the 46-year-old director .. »

Catherine Zeta-Jones is hottest ticket as she debuts on Broadway
30 November 2009 5:03 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The revival of a Sondheim musical with a very British flavour lures recession-hit New York audiences back to the theatre
She made her stage debut as the lead in Annie at the Swansea Grand Theatre at 12. Now, 28 years later, the Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones is again treading the boards, although in slightly more grandiose surroundings.
Zeta-Jones, 40, will make her first appearance on Broadway next month when the curtain goes up on Sir Trevor Nunn's eagerly awaited revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music. Preview performances at the Walter Kerr theatre began last week in advance of the opening night on 13 December and tickets, which are being sold on eBay for as much as $300, are like gold dust.
In the production Zeta-Jones, who plays the part of a flamboyant actress called Desiree Armfeldt, sings one of Sondheim's most famous songs, "Send in the Clowns". Although there have »

This Week on Stage: 'Fela!' rocks, Matthew Broderick disappoints

Former American Idol contestant Syesha Mercado may be the biggest known name in the revival of Dreamgirls that kicked off its national tour at Harlem's famed Apollo Theatre this week, but it's an unknown named Moya Angela who's generating all the buzz as Effie "I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" White, according to EW's Tanner Stransky. Also this week, the booty-shaking biographical Afrobeat musical Fela! (pictured at left) opened on Broadway to widespread raves (including a B+ from EW), while a fine cast headed by a lifeless Matthew Broderick struggled in director/playwright Kenneth Lonergan's disappointing new Off Broadway comic drama, »

This Week on Stage: 'Ragtime,' 'Equivocation' in L.A., and vibrators!
21 November 2009 6:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It was a busy week on the boards. Sunday saw the opening of a Broadway revival of the musical Ragtime (pictured right), which EW's Melissa Rose Bernardo calls "dazzling" and gives an A. Also on Broadway, Sarah Ruhl's provocatively titled comic play In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play opened to a decidedly lukewarm review from yours truly: "Ruhl's play could have benefited from a broader, farcical touch." Elsewhere on Broadway, the Julia Stiles-Bill Pullman revival of David Mamet's Oleanna announced plans to close on Jan. 3. Off Broadway, we raved about both Alan Ayckbourn's My »

The Play’s the Thing for Aniston, Ashton, Demi, Brooke, and More
10 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Too many stars to fit in one frame: Anthony Mackie, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Liev Schrieber, Naomi Watts, Jeremy Sisto, Emmy Rossum, Julia Stiles, and Gaby Hoffmann are among the cast members taking a curtain call after performing in the 24 Hour Plays. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images. It has been an unusually starry fall on Broadway—Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain, Jude Law in Hamlet, and, later this month, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury in A Little Night Music, just to name a few. But rarely has there been such assemblage of big names on one Broadway stage as there was last night at the American Airlines Theater. Among the performers were Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Billy Crudup, Rosario Dawson, John Krasinski, Ashton Kutcher, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Rosie Perez, Sam Rockwell, Liev Schrieber, Brooke Shields, Julia Stiles, Amber Tamblyn, and Naomi Watts.

Rihanna stole the show in her dramatic white dress as she and her fellow honorees took the red carpet at last night's Glamour Women of the Year celebration in NYC. Carnegie Hall was brimming with beautiful ladies from Iman to Maria Shriver and Diane von Furstenberg. Catherine Zeta-Jones stood out in blue and had Michael Douglas by her side for support. Rih was just one of a handful of women who were chosen by the magazine, but all eyes were on her - and most of you are loving the look, just the latest in her fashion metamorphosis! Padma Lakshmi showed off her growing baby bump while one of the evening's honorees Stella McCartney smiled big with her award up on stage where she also had some trouble with her super short skirt. Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama were two of the magazine's other women of the year, though the »

Doc Jensen's 'Lost' meets 'The Lost Symbol' Book Club, part 2
15 October 2009 9:58 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
A few weeks ago, I began a project comparing Dan Brown’s latest blockbuster crypto-thriller The Lost Symbol to ABC’s crypto-drama Lost. My sketchy hypothesis: Even though they are completely different stories, both entertainments share similar mystic / mythological / philosophical / conspiracy theory-ish reference points. I envisioned an academic endeavor with absolutely no redeeming intellectual value, that wallowed in being ridiculous and illogical. Just me, screwing around for geeky-silly giggles. Whoo-hoo! Screw screw screw! Giggle giggle giggle! Naturally, given the great ambition and high stakes I set for myself (read: sarcasm), I found this project pretty easy to back-burner when my editors decided to assign me, »

Welcome to Part 2 of our 1999 Movie Retrospective. The final year of the last century was one hell of a cinematic ride and it offered some outstanding films for lovers of cinema.
Now be aware that this is not a definitive list of the films released - it’s a brief rundown highlighting interesting films that should be seen (although not always for the right reasons).
You can check out the first part (A-e) here or continue reading to see the other gems that were released in 1999.
Fight Club was a box office disappointment ten years ago, but it has gained a Huge cult following since - and it must have made an absolute mint on DVD. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton star in this David Fincher directed adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s now-famous novel. The film is another example of world perspective from a late 90s view point. »

1999: A Year In Review (Part One)
7 October 2009 9:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Many films come out every year with critics and fans alike, compiling lists of their bests and worsts. There are also many films that fall between the cracks, only to be discovered years later. Many critics believe that one of the best years in cinema was 1939, when Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were released alongside many other classic gems.
Personally, I’ve always felt that 1999 was an epic year for movies, providing us with so many interesting films. In fact, 1999 was such a good year for movies that even some of the bad ones are still worth watching!
So, please sit back and put your memory caps on as Screen Rant takes on a retrospective of 1999 in the world of film.
In 1999, the world was a very different place. We were on the cusp of a new millennium and 9/11 was something that nobody - not even »

"Forget it, Jake. It's Cougartown."
5 October 2009 8:44 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
The movies' male/female age divide is nothing new -- from Marlon Brando buttering up a less-than-half-his-age Maria Schneider in "Last Tango in Paris" to Catherine Zeta-Jones pursuing a grandfatherly Sean Connery in "Entrapment," on-screen relationships between older men and younger women rarely even merit a comment.
This week on the IFC News podcast, we thought we'd look at the flip side of the phenomenon and examine how films treat pairings of older women with younger men, picking out some of the recurring themes, and wondering why the deflowering of a teenage boy by an older female is allowed to be played off as funny, when the reverse is, well, Roman Polanski.

Scott Hicks: One Of The Boys
By
Scott Hicks made his bones as a filmmaker the old-fashioned way, paying his dues as a crew member during the Australian film industry’s birth in the 1970s. Born in Uganda March 4, 1953, and raised in Kenya, England and finally Australia, Hicks worked his way up to assistant director for soon-to-be big names such as Peter Weir and Bruce Beresford before moving into directing industrial films and documentaries for television. Hicks didn’t direct his first feature, Freedom, until 1982, and had to wait for his second, in 1996, to put him on the A-list. Shine was the true story of Australian piano prodigy David Helfgott, and his battle with mental illness. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and won a Best Actor statuette for Geoffrey Rush, who played Helfgott as an adult.
Hicks has been choosy since then, going back and »
