James Farentino Passed Away in Los Angeles

US actor James Farentino has died aged 73. He who appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows, passed away at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles from heart failure, spokesman Bob Palmer said.

The 1980 science fiction film The Final Countdown, in which he starred alongside Kirk Douglas was one of his most well known films. In 1967, he won a Golden Globe newcomer award for his role in The Pad and How to Use It.

Farentino went on to land recurring roles on popular shows such as Dynasty, Melrose Place and The Bold Ones: The Lawyers, one of the last contract performers with Universal Studios in the 1960s. He also appeared several times in ER as George Clooney's estranged father.

He was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of Saint Peter in the television mini-series Jesus of Nazareth, in 1978. Aside from his acting, Farentino was almost as well known for his torrid personal life. Divorced three times, Farentino also dated one of Frank Sinatra's daughters, Tina. In 1994 their relationship made headlines after the actor pleaded no contest to stalking her.

The Transformers TV Series In Roots

"More Than Meets the Eye" pilot/mini-series : The Transformers (TV series)
First aired in the United States in September 1984, then in the United Kingdom in early 1985, the three-part mini-series was animated by Japan's famous Toei Animation studio.

Where they warred for the resources that would take them back home, the pilot introduced Optimus Prime's Autobots (Brawn, Bluestreak, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Gears, Hound, Huffer, Ironhide, Jazz, Mirage, Prowl, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, Windcharger, and Hauler (who was seen only in vehicle mode, had no dialogue and was not seen again in the animated series)) and Megatron's Decepticons (Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Reflector (leader Viewfinder, Spyglass & Spectro), Soundwave and his cassette spies (Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Rumble and Frenzy), and Shockwave (who stayed behind to guard Cybertron under Megatron's orders), transplanting them from their metallic homeworld of Cybertron to present-day Earth.

The Decepticons defeated and the Autobots poised to return to Cybertron, but this was blurred somewhat when the series was picked up for continuation, and the Autobots remained on the planet to protect it from renewed Decepticon threats, has to be the conclusion of the series. The Autobots make friends with their first two human allies, Spike Witwicky and his father Sparkplug Witwicky. A paraplegic computer whiz named Chip Chase became an additional ally in a few episodes later.

The Building Empire of Jennifer Aniston

As they have reportedly planned to buy a 22-million-dollar home together in Bel-Air, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have taken their relationship to the next level. The 8,500-square-foot home was listed for 24.9 million dollars. The 3-acre compound boasts a guesthouse, pool and vineyard.

Since 2008, the owner, Robert Maguire, is the founder of a real estate company, and had put the home on and off the market repeatedly. According to The Wall Street Journal, the four-bedroom midcentury home, designed by A. Quincy Jones, has floor-to-ceiling glass windows and ocean views, the New York Daily News reported.

Sony Pictures Classics Thrilled Lee's Movie

To Lee Toland Krieger's "Celeste and Jesse Forever", Sony Pictures Classics has acquired all rights for North America, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg star in the film as high school sweethearts who get divorced and attempt to remain best friends while pursuing other relationships.




With Will McCormack, who co-stars along with Chris Messina, Ari Graynor, Emma Roberts and Elijah Wood, Jones wrote the script. Team Todd principals Jennifer Todd and Suzanne Todd produced the pic with Lee Nelson of Envision Media Arts, which financed the film.

UTA's Independent Film Group was negotiating the deal. "No recent movie is more current, more perceptive or more fun than 'Celeste and Jesse Forever,'" Sony Classics said in a statement. "Lee Toland Krieger has made a major film. The cast is superlative and it is an obvious labor of love for Rashida Jones and Will McCormack."

"We are thrilled our film has found a home with Sony Pictures Classics and are incredibly excited to work with Michael (Barker), Tom (Bernard) and Dylan (Leiner). Their track record is unparalleled." In a joint statement, the producers said.

Children Of The Animation Movie

Beat out Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg and Pixar Animation Studios to collect surprise nominations in Oscar's peculiar animated feature race Tuesday, two obscure foreign movies being released by a tiny New York company. The French thriller "A Cat in Paris" and Spanish musical "Chico & Rita" - primarily hand-drawn movies little known outside the animation world - bested high-profile projects from perennial academy favorites Spielberg ("The Adventures of Tintin") and Pixar ("Cars 2").

Which Paramount is re-releasing for a limited one-week engagement Friday, and the DreamWorks Animation titles "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Puss in Boots", three computer-animated Hollywood movies also made the list - Gore Verbinski's western comedy "Rango". "I'm amazed by the selection," said "Puss in Boots" director Chris Miller. "It's really wide open. It's been that way since the awards season kicked in. There's a lot of great films and different styles from some different countries. There's a lot of tradition in that part of the academy and respect for diversity."

The eligible Pixar film was not nominated, for the first time since the animated feature category was created in 2001. "For the last few years we've had a Pixar front-running film that was miles ahead of the other films," said animation historian Jerry Beck, editor of the website Cartoon Brew. "But this wasn't their year. Visually and technically, 'Cars 2' has got all the craft, but story-wise it was a kids' picture."

In which cameras record the movement of actors, then visual-effects artists and animators add to the performances, "Tintin" was made using the hybrid filmmaking technique of motion capture. How to treat "Tintin" was a matter of some debate in the animation community, however. Which received an Oscar nomination for its visual effects, the same method was used to create the hyper-intelligent animals in the live-action movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Dark Wolf Live On

A hip, very horroric twist on the werewolf thriller, this atmospheric horror film adds a a wickedly appetite to the bloodthirsty cravings of its monster. A vicious werewolf stalks the streets of Los Angeles. Between killings, its desperate goal is to mate with unsuspecting Josie, who is unaware of her special power attracting the beast. Forced to take over an investigation involving werewolves after his partner is killed, an LAPD Detective is led to the trail of this ravenously deadly hybrid werewolf. This unstoppable beast is in LA to find the next matriarch of the pure-bred werewolves so that it can mate with her before the night is over and continue the werewolf lineage. Josie, becomes his target and the cop must find a way to rescue her and ultimately the entire human race which will become extinct if the mating occures.

Darkwolf is a waste of videotape. What could have been a cool movie (it had the female werewolf, nice start) ends right their with too much visuals. The CGI was laughable and the storyline with the female werewolf is not explored fully enough.

The vampire warrioress Selene leads the battle

Underworld Awakening Movie

With a quick recap of the first two movies (conveniently skipping the third, which star Kate Beckinsale sat out), the fourth entry in this profitable B-movie series helpfully brings its viewers up to speed. The comely British actress — also currently being seen in theaters as the wife-in-peril in "Contraband" -- has returned to once again don the skintight black latex outfit that is these films’ biggest draw to fanboys. More aggressively violent and thankfully less mythology driven than previous installments, "Underworld Awakening" is strictly for the converted.

Since the 38-year-old actress doesn’t seem to have aged a day, this film begins with vampiress Selene waking up after being in a cryogenically frozen state for 12 years, a convincing plot element. Apparently we humans have gotten hip to the preponderance of Lycans — werewolves, to the uninitiated — and bloodsuckers in their midst, and have made determined efforts to eradicate them.

With the requisite athleticism and steely facial expressions, the actress goes through her energetic paces and an awful lot of wire work. “I’m not good with feelings,” Selene accurately points out when she’s not actually fighting, her performance consists of little more than striding purposefully towards or away from the camera.

Klum and Seal's Latest News

After having met the previous year, the couple were married in Mexico in 2005. There has been no comment from their reps. Klum's father, Günther Klum, when reached on his cellphone by the German publication Bunte, sounded surprised by the news and replied, "I don't know anything about it, call me again tomorrow."

When the supermodel-mom Tweeted a photo of herself and her musician husband in Aspen, reports the Daily Mail, the two were reportedly last seen together on Dec. 27, w. Project Runway star Klum, 38, was previously married to celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino and had a daughter – Leni, now 7 – with Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore.

Henry Günther, 6, Johan Riley, 5, and Lou, 2 are She and Seal's three children together. "When we're home, we're cooking and doing things with the kids, driving them to school. We do the things that everyone has to do," Klum said of her marriage, when she was pregnant with daughter Lou.

John Wayne as Taw Jackson

Taw Jackson is released from prison after being framed by the malevolent Pierce, a greedy mine owner. Determined to get revenge, Taw plans to knock off a $500,000 Pierce gold shipment. He persuades Lomax to team up with him, but Lomax has already received an offer of $10,000 (later upped to $12,000) from Pierce to kill Taw. The War Wagon released in 1967, starred by John Wayne, Kirk Douglas. Good movie to watch, John Wayne and Kirk Douglas made this western movie stand in high quality.

Ellen Sharon Stone Follow Contest

Ellen, an unknown female gunslinger rides into a small, dingy and depressing prairie town with a secret as to her reason for showing up. Shortly after her arrival, a local preacher, Cort, is thrown through the saloon doors while townfolk are signing up for a gun competition.

Stone (Ellen) plays a quiet and beautiful gunslinger, come out of the dusty plains to the town of Redemption, seeking revenge for the murder of her sheriff father years ago by the town dictator John Herrod, a dark and malevolent old gunfighter intent on maintaining his stranglehold on the frightened populace by staging a quick draw contest, the better to publically eliminate any opposition to his rule, and to squash any hope of salvation.

The Quick and the Dead is a 1995 western film directed by Sam Raimi and starring Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Director Sam Raimi brings his trademark comic book-influenced visual panache to this post-modern Western. The movie set in The town of Redemption.

Paraded up the Golden Globe Awards red carpet

On Sunday ahead of the ceremony honoring the year’s best films and TV shows hosted by acerbic comedian Ricky Gervais, hollywood A-listers including George Clooney paraded up the Golden Globe Awards’ red carpet.

Where prizes are given to actors, actresses, directors and producers in precursor of the more staid Oscars later this year, the British funnyman returns to the Golden Globe stage for the third straight year to host the champagne-soaked bash. Along with Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and numerous others were expected to walk the fashion-filled red carpet ahead of dinner and the program.

Clooney looked dapper in gray, Gervais arrived early in a crimson and black tuxedo. “Modern Family” TV star Sofia Vergara showed off a form-fitting, teal-colored Vera Wang gown and Harry Winston jewels. Many actresses wore strapless dresses or had plunging necklines and hand-tied bowties were a must among men. With black tie around his neck, of course, Uggie the dog from most-nominated film “The Artist” put his four paws on the carpet.

"The Killing" will return Sunday April 1

Or at least offer you more to fume about: AMC's "The Killing" will return Sunday, April 1, with a two-hour season premiere, one of last year's most divisive cliffhangers is about to get a resolution. The announcement was one of several from the network Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

"Breaking Bad" will return for its fifth season in the third quarter of this year, and that the third season of "The Walking Dead" will be 16 episodes, rather than the 13 episodes for the current, second season, according to AMC. "The Killing" return date will seem appropriate to viewers who felt fooled by the first season's finale. It seemed to solve the season-long mystery of who killed Rosie Larsen, then suddenly threw viewers a final twist that made us question everything we had seen before.

It won't answer the big one: AMC also said Saturday that Larsen's killer won't be revealed until the second season finale, while the premiere will address some lingering questions. "The Killing" Season 2 premiere will air at 8 p.m., with future episodes airing at 9 p.m.

It will be the first two-hour premiere for the show, the network also confirmed that "Mad Men" will return Sunday, March 25, at 9 p.m. -- with another two-hour premiere.

During an interview with the "Doug Loves Movies" podcast, Star Jon Hamm previously announced the date . The show will return to its normal 10 p.m. timeslot after the season premiere. The network also confirmed the Feb. 12 debut date for Kevin Smith's new unscripted series "Comic Book Men." After "The Walking Dead" returns at 9 for the second half of its second season, it will premiere at 10 p.m.
