‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Will Be Last Batman Film For Christian Bale By Germain Lussier/Nov. 23, 2010 7:18 am EST In David O. Russell’s The Fighter, Christian Bale plays a boxer with a great defensive mindset. Well, those evasive maneuvers are going to be put to the test in the next few months. The actor is almost certain to get his first Oscar nomination for The Fighter, set for wide release on December 17, and to promote that film, as well as his award chances, Bale is going to do a lot of interviews....

Biopic Of The Worst Boxer Of All Time In Development By Germain Lussier/July 19, 2011 2:00 pm EST In a sports movie, we all cheer for the underdog.

Sometimes referred to as “The Worst Boxer Of All Time,” the English welterweight finished his career with a record of 32 wins, 12 draws, and 256 losses. All of that punishment seems to have paid off, though, because a film version of his life is now being developed with director George Tillman Jr....

Check Out Hallmark S 2011 Pop Culture Inspired Ornaments

Check Out Hallmark’s 2011 Pop Culture Inspired Ornaments By Germain Lussier/July 13, 2011 7:00 am EST Little known fact: I collect Hallmark Ornaments. It’s a very expensive hobby my mother got me into when I was still in elementary school. Every July, she and I would go to the store on the day that Hallmark first released their ornaments for that year and we’d buy all the cool ones. This was a tradition that probably would have faded away as I grew older if Hallmark didn’t start making ornaments out of awesome licenses like Star Wars and Star Trek....

F Gary Gray To Direct Hair Of The Dog

F. Gary Gray To Direct ‘Hair Of The Dog’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 4, 2010 10:34 am EST F. Gary Gray last directed Law Abiding Citizen, a film that ambitiously tried to push how far an audience could get behind a violent, justifiably angry anti-hero. As with several of Gray’s films, the idea was better than the execution, which ended up being silly more often than it was satisfying. Gray has also been part of the revolving door directorial staff of the Bruce Willis/Jamie Foxx videogame adaptation Kane & Lynch, but there are reports that he has left that project....

Now, if you really can’t tell what Rooster Cogburn is saying in the film you either need to talk to your theater, or an ear specialist. But in the tradition of occasionally deliberate and entertaining mishearings that lead people to think Creedence Clearwater Revival was singing about a bathroom on the right, here’s True Grit, subtitled for clarity....
