DVD: Monsters vs Aliens, For retail & rental, (Paramount): PHOTO
Barnstorming title, shame about the slick but empty cartoon that goes with it. Its heroine is a 50ft woman (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) who is recruited by the US government to repel an Alien invasion, alongside a few other classic movie monsters. The film has all the over complicated, videogame-friendly action sequences we've come to expect from second-tier computer animations, as well as the customary ironic one-liners and pop-culture references. But it doesn't have much else. var ref_url=...

-Law & Order: CI' scoop: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio named new captain: PHOTO
Law & Order: CI is undergoing yet another staffing change. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio has been cast as the show’s new captain, sources confirm to me semi-exclusively. She replaces Eric Bogosian, who is the latest CI vet to depart as the show shifts its focus to Jeff Goldblum and new partner Saffron Burrows.

It's all up the air as of now. But remember I'm...

Movie Review: Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' (3 stars): PHOTO
Michael Jackson , This is it , Movie Reviews   By Chris Knight, National Post   The prurient and the ghoulish won't get much joy from Michael Jackson's final screen appearance, a concert film with everything but the actual concert. Sure, the singer looks zombie-thin and Alien-angular, but no more so than usual. He might even be described as appearing undead, but he doesn't look ready to cross over, as he did June 25, a mere three weeks before the This Is It concert was slated to...

BEST ACTOR WATCH: Jeff Goldblum in ‘Adam Resurrected’
First, the formerly washed-up Mickey Rourke rebounds with an apparently career-best performance in “The Wrestler” that is generating loud Oscar buzz. Now Rourke’s relative contemporary, Jeff Goldblum, is setting tongues wagging for another indie effort, albeit one with a much lower profile going in. As Holocaust survivor Adam Steiner in “Adam Resurrected,” the latest film from the ever-underrated Paul Schrader, Goldblum is attracting the kind of attention he hasn’t seen

Doug Jones Unsure Of 'Silver Surfer' Movie, Addresses 'Green Lantern' Rumors

Unfortunately, for those awaiting Jones' appearance in certain cosmic roles, there might be a wait. In an...

Illegal Alien Halloween Costume (PHOTO) Causes Anger; Really That Bad?
The new "Illegal Alien" costume is causing a bit of a political bust. These illegal Aliens are not from Mexico, but from something out of a Star Wars movie. The costume consists of a ridiculous orange Prison jumpsuit with the words "ILLEGAL Alien" written in big letters on the shirt. Add to that a green card, and an Alien mask and you've got yourself a lawbreaker. Is this costume hurtful or mean you think? One lady working for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights in Los Angeles had...
