The Invasion (directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel) Stylish, political, visually arresting and darn right freaky, The Invasion is a horror movie that taps into what really horrifies us today—namely that the people in our lives could turn into personality-less automatons influenced by some evil alien virus. It may sound like a totally fantastical premise, but in the context of the movie it really works. Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig star in this remake of Invasion of......

Gothamist was a bit underwhelmed by this year's Golden Globe nominees, and we were thinking of not liveblogging. But, gosh darn it as we watched the E! preshow and saw the starlets sparkle their way down the red carpet, we realize it was hopeless, so here we are. Let it be known that: - Keira Knightley looks gorgeous in her white Valentino - and there's something surprisingly youthful about the dress, even though there's that......

The movie version of the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason hits theaters today — will this be a further boost to Renée Zellweger's career or just another nail in the coffin of the romantic comedy? She's fat, she's thin, now she's fat again! Gothamist is sick of hearing about it, but it's difficult not to watch.

This recent L.A. Times article about the trend towards depicting extremely gritty teen life captures what was intense about seeing......

Gothamist has been looking for a way to talk about What a Girl Wants, the new Princess Diaries-ish movie starring Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes, if only to talk about Colin Firth, making the transition to playing fathers of teenage girls. Warner Bros. is backtracking and trying to eliminate the peace sign from WAGW posters according to the Hollywood Reporter. No matter that there are tons of posters that have been up for weeks.

While Britain may have limited television options, the BBC has continued to churn out its high quality television adapatations of novels, both classic and contemporary. The current "go-to man" in giving the adaptations a rich life on screen is Andrew Davies, as profiled in the L.A. Times today, in anticipation of tonight's premiere of his adpatation of George Eliot's Daniel Deronda on PBS tonight and tomorrow. What's fascinating about Davies is that he only turned......
