Review: 'Flash of Genius'
"Flash of Genius" is largely about how one person's nothing is another person's everything. Take the intermittent windshield wiper, for example. I, for one, had never much thought about who designed it, where it came from or whether there was a story there. For Robert Kearns, however, it becomes the defining object of his life. In the late 1960s, while all of the big Detroit auto manufacturers were struggling to create their own intermittent wiper system, Kearns ( Greg Kinnear) invented one on his own in

Cover Girl's Use Of Gays & Blacks: Progressive? Or Pandering? [Standards Of Beauty]
As previously reported, Cover Girl recently made a deal with Ellen DeGeneres to be the "face" of its brand. But Ellen isn't CoverGirl's first interesting pick: They also have Queen Latifah. As a post on Jossip points out, Queen Latifah is black, not stick-thin, and often rumored to be gay. The brand has also used black ladies like Brandy, Rihanna, Eva Pigford and Kiara Kubukuru in its ads. Jossip asks the question: Is Cover Girl the most progressive cosmetics company? A commenter on Jossip says: No.

New Jack White & Alicia Key video: ‘Another Way to Die’
There’s been a lot of hype lately around the latest Bond theme, performed by the flaming duo Alicia Keys and Jack White, typically named Another Way to Die. Only righteous hype, though, because this song is just smoking hot! The movie doesn’t come any lower either. The video just surfaced a few moments ago. From the few plays I gave the video, it doesn’t seem that badass. I mean, it just features the two playing together, with Jack on guitar and drums, and Alicia on Keys (get it? I crack

You’ve Heard The New “Bond” Theme, Now Check Out The Music Video
The fan response to the new Bond theme “Another Way to Die” hasn’t been all that positive, and unfortunately the music video for the Quantum of Solace song isn’t much better. I think most of you would agree the theme could’ve used Amy Winehouse, cracked out or not. Still, at least there’s one benefit to the change: Alicia Keys sure is hot. If only this sounded as good as she looks… Related Posts: Hear The Full Theme Song From “Quantum Of Solace”!

'Is It Cool If I Say We’re Together On Facebook?' [A Call To The Bullpen]
Boomp3.comAt the Washington DC premiere of The Secret Life Of Bees, a young male fan took a major step forward in his relationship with actress Dakota Fanning. After taking the photo, Billy Walsh asked Fanning if she would be okay with him changing his relationship status on his Facebook profile. Fanning said she wouldn’t mind, but didn’t understand why Walsh would seek her approval. Walsh took a deep breath and explained that Fanning and him have been internet dating for quite some time now and would l

New Video: David Archuleta, ‘Crush’
David Archuleta’s sort of like the musical equivalent of impossibly-poised child star, Dakota Fanning. He’s got the voice of an angel, the face of a pre-teen Honor Roll student and the stage presence of a 20-year showbiz vet. (Which actually kinda makes sense, seeing as the 2008 American Idol runner-up’s been singing since he was a scant 6 years old.) The truth is, there’s actually something a teensy bit unnerving about a chubby-cheeked 17-year-old who’s already had more coach

US-FILM Summary (Reuters)
Reuters - In 2007, "Hounddog" went to the Sundance Film Festival carrying a controversy that made it the hottest ticket in town, but it left that January after getting a cold shoulder from film distributors and critics. But now, "Hounddog," starring young Dakota Fanning, is howling again with Friday's debut in U.S. theatres roughly 18 months after its difficult Sundance premiere, and few people are as happy as its writer and director Deborah Kampmeier.

Ghost Town / *** (PG-13)
"Ghost Town" (PG-1, 102 minutes). Ricky Gervais, a British comedian whose work on TV is legion, has at last found a leading role, and it's a good one. He's a stand-offish dentist who suddenly finds his space invaded by ghosts. Somehow he offers a line of communication between the spirit realm and the mortal world. Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni are a living/dead couple he finds himself involved with, in a consistent smiler. Rating: Three stars

“Another Way to Die” Music Video Revealed!
The Jack White and Alicia Keys duet is finally revealed in its full form (no thanks to Coca-Cola). The visuals are a little bit “7 Nation Army” + iPod commerical + Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” + Semiconductor’s “Magnetic Movie”–but the one inescapable image that will forever sear your brain when watching this video is the sight of Jack White PLAYING THE DRUMS. My heart nearly stopped. One Response to “Another Way
