See It or Skip It: The Black Balloon
Uplifting and unexpected, The Black Balloon, writer-director Elissa Down’s touching semi-autobiographical film centers around Thomas (19-year-old Rhys Wakefield in a remarkable performance) as he tries to fit into to his family’s new home. Desperate to assimilate and win the affections of Jackie (Gemma Ward), Thomas has to grapple with his pregnant mother (the imminently watchable Toni Collete), a father who likes to consult with his teddy bear, Rex (Erik Thomson) and his severely autistic brother, Char

News Bites: '10 Things' Heads to TV, Haters, and More
A long time passed since 10 Things I Hate About You hit the big screen. Julia Stiles got Bourne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has become a powerhouse on the indie scene, and Heath Ledger ... we know what became of him. I'm guessing that his death and reminiscing moments about his work is what inspired this next piece of news: Ace Showbiz reports that ABC Family is going to make the Shakespeare-inspired film into a television series, with the film's director, Gil Junger, signed on to helm the pilot. In it, Kate and

Heath Ledger’s Apartment Too Spooky To Rent
According to a report, no one wants to live in the pricey Soho apartment in which Heath Ledger died. The three-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot Manhattan apartment, where the Aussie actor died of an accidental drug overdose, has been taken off the market.

Julia StilesI saw her the other day in a CVS looking at magazines, perhaps to see who were the current it girls. She still looks cute as a button and looks about 24 at the oldest though I think she is in her late 20’s now. Anyway, she hasn’t had a film in a while except for The Bourne Ultimatum and the ill-fated The Omen but those seem long ago in film world. I did read that she is finally adapting the Sylvia Plath novel, “The Bell Jar,” for the screen. Because Lord knows audiences have just been dy
