Like a Bad ‘Law & Order,’ ‘Righteous Kill’ With Al Pacino, Robert De Niro Lacks ‘Heat’
CHICAGO– Last fall, Francis Ford Coppola made the comment that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro (along with Jack Nicholson) had lost their ambition. Coppola essentially said they have been phoning in their performances and picking safer movies. “Righteous Kill” could be the case study to that argument.Rating: 2.0/5.0You have Pacino and De Niro together again. They’re both playing a cop, which is a role they’ve both done time and time again. You give them a script from Russell Gewirtz. He’s the scrib

'Babylon A.D.'
The gritty world-weariness that informs the first 10 minutes of the new sci-fi adventure "Babylon A.D." promises something along the lines of the daring, socially inquisitive "Children of Men," with the bonus of Vin Diesel killing people. Unfortunately, the film quickly degenerates into chases and gunfights and not much else. This is not a terrible movie, but it's too familiar by half and too confusing by a third. Director Mathieu Kassovitz, best known stateside as Audrey Tautou's love interest in "Amel

Robert De Niro & Al Pacino do Letterman “Top Ten reasons I Like being an Actor.”
On Thursday night’s Late Show with David Letterman, he had special guests Al Pacino and Robert De Niro do the Top 10 list. Via satellite and seated in red leather chairs, the pair read off the Top Ten “Reasons I Like Being An Actor.” Included was a plug for their movie “Righteous Kill,” a dig at Sarah Palin and some hilarious one liners.

Alicia Keys Sounds Off on ‘Quantum’ Song, Says She Wants To Be A Bond Girl
Alicia Keys just got done recording “Another Way to Die,” the new theme song for the latest Bond film, “Quantum of Solace.” But her real ambition? “I think I can be the next Bond girl,” the singer and actress laughed when we caught up with her recently at the Toronto Film Festival. For now, of course, Keys will have to settle for co-creating with White Stripes frontman Jack White the kick-ass opening number in “Solace,” which I cannot mention without also mentioning that it’s the wor

Kurt Loder Reviews Al Pacino And Robert De Niro’s ‘Righteous Kill’
FROM MTV.COM: Meet Tom “Turk” Cowan (Robert De Niro). Turk loves his job. He loves the way it allows him to combine his fiercest passion with his favorite activity. “I hate scumbags,” he says. “And I like killing people.” Turk is a cop, and a hothead, and over the course of his 30 years as a detective with the NYPD, he and his genial, wisecracking partner, David “Rooster” Fisk (Al Pacino), have put away a lot of scumbags. Lately, though, it appears that Turk

‘Twilight’ Stars Get Cut Off At The MTV VMAs [w/Video]
I suffered through teh MTV VIdeo Music Awards not to hear the music (oh lord, no), but to see the presenters. As I Tweeted earlier, the VMAs would be a pretty cool show if only there was no music. Anyhow, an hour into the show, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Cam Gigandet, and Taylor Lautner, stars of Summit Entertainment’s highly anticipated Twilight, came out to introduce the live performance for best rock nominee Paramore. The intro was incredibly brief and all the actors got to say their lin

Vin Diesel, Rob Cohen return to ‘XXX’
The studio is in discussions with producer Joe Roth for a new version of “XXX,” one that would bring back Vin Diesel as star and Rob Cohen as director. The duo teamed on the 2002 original, which starred Diesel as Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast who gets drafted by the government for a dangerous mission. Roth controls the property because the original film was made by his Revolution Studios, which was also behind “XXX: State of the Union,” a sequel that starred Ice Cube an

De Niro and Pacino: “Top 10 reasons I like being an actor”
From last night’s “Late Night with David Letterman.”  These are all keepers, but I especially like #3 and #1:

File this under “Friends with Benefits”.
Is this still going on? This whole drama of Alicia Keys/Swizz Beats/Mashonda thing is like the black version of Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Honestly, nothing in Hollywood lasts forever. OK, only a few marriages survived, but that’s not the point. I call “Bulls–t!” when reading Swizz Beats’ statement regarding his marital woes and saying that Alicia is not to blame. “I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any wa

Alicia Keys the “other woman” in Swizz Beatz divorce case?
Swizz has been brushing off rumors that Grammy-winner Alicia had anything to do with his split from Mashonda, his wife of almost five years and mother of his 1-year-old son, Kasseem Dean Jr. But Mashonda isn’t buying it. Last week, she was incensed when she heard about the birthday party Alicia threw for Swizz at midtown’s Louis Vuitton store, where guests included Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Robin Thicke. “Alicia introduced Swizz as ‘The man of the hour and my boo,’”
