No Kidding - Jake Gyllenhaal Taking Heath Ledger’s Death Hard

January 30th, 2008 · No Comments

No sh*t, Sherlock dept: A friend of Jake Gyllenhaal says that he is taking Heath Ledger’s death harder than most people. Uh, duh.

So maybe she’s not such a Stepford Wife […]

More Sylvester Stallone in a Fifth Rambo Movie?

January 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Rambo 4 just opened last weekend and already Sylvester Stallone - who’ll be 62 in July - is talking about doing a fifth Rambo movie. But given that it debuted at #2 in box office receipts last weekend, I’m not surprised. There’s obviously still a market for his brand of justice. (Apparently Rambo 4 has […]

New Batman: The Dark Knight Poster

January 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments

While Warner Bros. might be unsure what to do regarding the marketing campaign of Batman: The Dark Knight because of Heath Ledger’s passing, there is a new poster of Christian Bale out.
