Box Office Predictions (September 26-28)
The big opening film this weekend will be Shia LaBeouf’s action/thriller, Eagle Eye.  LaBeouf teams up again with D.J. Caruso hoping they can recapture the success they had with Disturbia.  There’s no doubt Eagle Eye will open at #1 in the box office this weekend… but how much will it make?  Also starring are Michelle Monoghan, Rosario Dawson, and Billy Bob Thornton.  Opening in over 3,000 locations, the question is whether or not Eagle Eye can top the $30 million mark. While all of t

Review: "Eagle Eye"
Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Anthony Azizi, Billy Bob Thornton Facts of interest: Steven Spielberg served as executive producer on the film. The plot: A slacker (LaBeouf) and a single mom (Monaghan) are framed as terrorists and forced to engage in a political assassination. Our thoughts: Big bro. is watching like never before in D.J. Caruso’s “Eagle Eye,” a totally unrealistic but thoroughly entertaining thriller that delivers enough vibrant action to make you ignore m

Movie Review: Eagle Eye
Boom, Bang, Vroom, Huh?, Crash, Kablam = Eagle Eye. A true escapist movie, Eagle Eye is explosive fun, as long as you don’t think too much and you don’t mind commercials. Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), an underachieving slacker, is blackmailed into a criminal situation, directed only by a woman over the phone that seems able to access all the electronics connected by some kind of network. Rachel Hollowman (Michelle Monaghan) is driven into the same situation with Jerry when her son is threatened. FBI Age

In theaters Sept. 26
“Eagle Eye” - The recently-un-DUI’d Shia LaBeouf co-stars in “Eagle Eye” with Michelle Monaghan. The two become the pawns of a mysterious woman they have never met, but seems to be able to track their every move. The pair realize they are being used in her plot for political assassination and decide to work together beat her at her own game. Looks like a standard thriller, though awesome special effects abound. Two hours of mindless running around with pretty people. “Mi

Lesbian? No. Fiancé? No. Rather, It’s Shia LaBeouf That Megan Fox Is Holding Hands With
Megan Fox shuts down any chance of Michelle Monaghan squeezing her pregnant self anywhere near her Eagle Eye co-star, Shia LaBeouf, at the red-carpet premiere of … Eagle Eye? Megan knows of no Eagle Eye. Transformers, however! Oh, Transformers is like Megan’s favorite rom-com. She can’t hold back on the hand-holding with Shia. (Brian Austin Green? Megan knows of no such fiancé.) Peep the guests: the smooshed boobs of Rosario Dawson, the continued badass that is Billy Bob Thornton, and

Review: ‘Eagle Eye’
Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) is a Copy Cabana employee, he is struggling to make rent, and he has just found out his twin brother has died.  Rachel Hollman (Michelle Monaghan) is a divorced mom who has just sent her son on a school trip to play a show at the Library of Congress.  The two have never met and have no relation but are about to spend the next 48 hours on the run for their lives, and the lives of others.  Jerry becomes activated when he goes to the ATM to deposit a check from his parents only to

Eagle Eye / ** (PG-13)
"Eagle Eye" (PG-13, /// minutes). The word preposterous is too moderate to describe it. This film contains not a single plausible moment after the opening sequence, and that's borderline. Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan are two ordinary people given instructions by an omnipotent voice, and find themselves embroiled in a cross-country adventure that leaves behind a trail of dead bodies and wrecked cars. With Rosario Dawson and Billy Bob Thornton. Rating: Two stars.

Eagle Eye: Absurd . . . ly Fun
The story of Big Brother watching and controlling all of the helpless citizens in Eagle Eye might be more effective if it weren't quite so preposterous. That said, this movie intends to thrill and entertain, and it succeeds on all counts. It holds your attention with all the plot twists and the bombardment of explosions, the kind of explosions that make a certain audience cheer. Eagle Eye will probably not be an award-winner, but it's great for when you want to totally escape with a loud, ridiculous, big ol

Review: ‘Nights in Rodanthe’
This adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel succeeds at being an entertaining and engaging romance film that stays away from sap and cliché’s of the genre, but still kind of prescribes to the formula. Adrienne (Diane Lane) is a separated mother with two kids who is heading to Rodanthe for a weekend to cover running a bed and breakfast of her best friend.  Before she leaves her husband says she wants her back and sends her off for the weekend to her thoughts and ideas running through her head.  Pa

How (And Why) Did George C. Wolfe Get Involved With Nights In Rodanthe?
This weekend brings Nights in Rodanthe to theaters. It's an unapologetic tearjerker, a love story starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane (click here for Rex Reed's review), based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and directed by...George C. Wolfe? It's certainly not an obvious partnership. After all, Mr. Wolfe has made his reputation as being an edgy and inventive playwright (The Colored Museum, Spunk, Jelly's Last Jam), theater director (he staged Tony Kushner's Angels in America for which he won the Tony), and p

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf HOT on Eagle Eye Red Carpet (Photos)
The stars turned out last night in Hollywood for the premiere of Eagle Eye at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Megan Fox and Shia LeBeouf looked hot on the red carpet, as did a host of other celebrities. The actress is sporting a tattoo on her back that says ‘we will all laugh at gilded butterflies’. The film is billed as an action, mystery, thriller with the tag line: if you want to live you will obey. LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a w

Insert Caption: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- our imaginary award-winning weekly contest in which you won't lose friends and alienate people, but you will walk away with some cool prizes (assuming you make us laugh, like, a lot). Last week we snuggled up next to Richard Gere, Diane Lane and a big box of tissues in preparation for their new flick Nights in Rodanthe, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. Congrats to our three winners who all somehow managed to write their captions without shedding ev

Richard Gere, Diane Lane reunite in stormy romance - Reuters
Judging from the part of the ad that says, ". . . from the author of 'The Notebook,'" you might suspect that this particular Richard Gere-Diane Lane reunion isn't going to be the torrid affair that was 2002's "Unfaithful," and of course you'd be quite right. Based on the novel of the same name, "Nights in Rodanthe" is typical Nicholas Sparks fare -- a weepy romance dealing with love, death and other unstoppable forces of nature -- that has been turned into

'Nights in Rodanthe' web reviews
The biggest romance of the fall season has arrived. George C. Wolfe's "Nights in Rodanthe" may not be the best, but considering it's based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, it is certainly the sappiest. Hey, and why not? Although I have not seen the film yet (check back for my review tonight), I am eager to find out what online critics have to say about Diane Lane and Richard Gere's chemistry onscreen. Oh yeah, and James Franco is in this too... • George Roush at LatinoReview: "Night in Rodanthe is a movie

'Nights in Rodanthe' swamped by sappy romance
There's still plenty of charm in romantically pairing Richard Gere and Diane Lane. The "Unfaithful" cast mates can still play flirty and cute with the best of them. And the stark, windswept beauty of North Carolina's Outer Banks makes a grand setting for a big-screen romance. Ah, but the corn grows high in those sand dunes in Nicholas Sparks' "Nights in Rodanthe." The movie version of "Nights" begins with such promise before it drowns in the romance novelist's sentimentality. Gere plays a Rale

Review: Nights in Rodanthe
Movies like Nights in Rodanthe are beyond reviewing, because intellectually analyzing them cancels out their intended effect. This is a weepie, pure and simple. If you're the type that likes crying at the movies, you'll love it. If you loved Richard Gere and Diane Lane together in a thriller like Unfaithful (2002) but you don't like to cry, you probably won't like it. Me, I found a few things to like and much to loathe. Diane Lane stars in Nights in Rodanthe as Adrienne Willis, a frazzled single mother
