Luke Wilson stars in Henry Poole is Here

Photo: Overture Films Walking into Henry Poole is Here I had no idea who was in it or what it was about. To say I was approaching it with "fresh" eyes would be quite accurate. As it turns out the film stars Luke Wilson, Radha Mitchell looking better than she ever has before and Adriana Barraza in her first feature film since being nominated for her role in Babel. Directed by Mark Pellington, I actually enjoyed this film for about 80 of its 100 minutes, but the ending took everything the film did right and made it all wrong. Henry Poole is Here focuses on Luke Wilson playing the title character. We meet him and he seems to not have a care in the world. He drops $325k on a crappy house, picks up alcohol and junk food from the grocery store and proceeds

The cast and crew of new movie The Children Of Huang Shi left a permanent reminder of the time they spent filming in Mongolia's Gobi Desert in the shape of a new pebble road.

Moviemaker Roger Spottiswoode called on his stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Radha Mitchell to join extras and crew members on an all-night hunt for stones to help stop heavy filming equipment and vehicles from sinking into the sand.

The Tomorrow Never Dies director says, "Great areas of the Gobi are just thin crusts of hardened sand, and underneath that it's very soft sand.

"Where we were there was a two-inch crust and, if you break through that it's extremely difficult to get back up, so if you're out there with 50 vehicles and they all sank through the crust one day, you're in trouble.

"We were sent on a detour by the government and we took a crane with us to help pull vehicles out of the sand but that was one of the first things to start sinking. So we had to build a road back.

"Our cast and crew of 500 people went out at night into the desert looking for little pebbles and bigger pebbles for hours and hours when we should've been shooting and watching the dawn come up.

"Over a period of hours we collected enough rocks and slowly we had built our own road to put them back under the wheels of the vehicles that were stuck.

"It was an enormous amount of work but I'm sure the road is still there. It will be there for the next thousand years, this short road that got us out of trouble."

Jonathan Rhys-meyers has come under fire from animal rights activists after his latest co-star, Radha Mitchell, let it slip that he ate dog while filming in China.

Mitchell coos about the movie hunk's "adventurous pallet" but officials at People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) are less than impressed.

The actress insists dining out in rural China, where she and Rhys-Meyers, shot new film The Children of Huang Shi was a challenge - and her co-star decided to go native.

She says, "The challenge was ordering lunch and getting chicken claws, just these weird things that you don't expect and you're not used to so you're constantly adjusting.

"Jonathan did the dog's meat. We were in some restaurant and there was dog meat on the menu and there was someone next to us just sitting there with their Chihuahua in a handbag.

"I was thinking, 'That could've been dessert.'"

But Peta bosses are appalled that Rhys-Meyers, who plays British journalist George Hogg in the Roger Spottiswoode film, sampled man's best friend.

Spokesman Michael McGraw rages, "Most people are appalled to hear about Jonathan Rhys Meyers eating dog flesh."

And he urges anyone sickened by the story to consider turning veggie: "They should take a look at what's on their own plates. Chickens and cows may not be as cute and cuddly as puppies, but when it comes to their ability to feel pain and suffer, they are no different from animals people call pets.

"The best way to avoid harming any animals is simply not to eat them and go veggie."

It's a battle of filmmaking titans this week, the kind of event that comes around once in a lifetime . Steven Spielberg and Uwe Boll will duke it out at the multiplexes. (Forgive us, but that might've been our only opportunity to ever get to put those two names in the same sentence.)

"The Children of Huang Shi"

Set during the Japanese occupation of China during the 1930s, this sweeping historical epic comes from Roger Spottiswoode, the director behind both "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" and the narrative remake of "Shake Hands with the Devil." The first official co-production between Australia and China, the film tells the true story of Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell), who with the aid of a British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), escorts 60 orphaned children 700 miles through the Liu Pan Shan Mountains to evade Japanese secret police. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" co-stars Michelle Yeoh

While we pace the carpet back and forth in anticipation of the fast-approaching Tribeca Film Festival (kicking off on Wednesday), we can bide our time with a puppet kidnapping, some Bollywood royalty and an Ewan McGregor sighting.

"Baby Mama"

If the fad of pregnancy movies began with last year's "Knocked Up," it reaches its second trimester with "Baby Mama," which stars comedy goddess Tina Fey as a wannabe mom who's fast approaching 40 and Fey's one-time Weekend Update deskmate Amy Poehler as the uncouth oddball who offers up the use of her womb in exchange for a bit of cash. Appropriately enough, former "SNL" scribe Michael McCullers makes his directorial debut with the offbeat comedy, which could serve as "Juno" for people deemed too fuddy-duddy to find the term "home skillet" amusing. "Baby Mama"'s also serving as Tribeca's opening night film.

Opens wide.

"Deal"

Radha Mitchell will forever be in Sir Mick Jagger's debt, after the Rolling Stones star persuaded French customs officials to let her into the country to attend the Cannes Film Festival.

The Australian actress had landed at Nice airport to attend the event a few years ago - but she'd forgotten her visa and was quickly ushered into a security room for an interrogation.

When Mitchell spotted Jagger, she introduced herself and told the Brown Sugar rocker of her predicament, at which point the singer decided to exert his influence on the French officials.

Mitchell recalls, "They put me in a security room at the airport and there was Mick. I introduced myself, and somehow he took mercy on me.

"He spoke to the officials in French and they let me go."
