Beyoncé: Too Traumatized for Babies?

25 November 2008 7:10 AM, PST | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news

Beyoncé Knowles says married life is "great" – but she's still in no rush to have kids. "One day, maybe," the singer – who wed rapper Jay-z in a super-secret ceremony last April – tells Ellen DeGeneres during Tuesday's show. What's holding her back? Watching her sister, Solange, give birth in 2004. "I was there in the delivery room and it kind of traumatized me," Beyoncé admits. "I said please don't have me in the room. And she said, 'You have to. I'm your sister. Stop being so silly.' Well, I was right!" Still, the Cadillac Records star says she definitely will have kids someday.

Brosnan Wants Charlize for 'Thomas Crown' Sequel

11 November 2008 11:19 PM, PST | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Props to Cinema Blend, who tracked down this juicy little quote in a Malaysian English-language newspaper. It's from Pierce Brosnan, who, prior to Mamma Mia!, had been doing really interesting things since he left the Bond franchise. The Matador is great and I liked Seraphim Falls (admittedly, most people didn't love it). I never saw the limited release The Married Life, but some critics I respect seemed to enjoy it.

But for years now, Brosnan has been toying with the idea of a sequel to The Thomas Crown Affair. We know his idea for this sequel to a remake is actually another remake, of the heist flick Topkapi, which had nothing to do with the original Thomas Crown Affair. And we know Paul Verhoeven has been lined up to direct. About the only missing piece was Angelina Jolie, rumored to be the female lead in the sequel for many months.

On DVD Today: September 1, 2008

2 September 2008 1:50 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

DVD Links: Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Desperate Housewives - The Complete Fourth Season Ahhhh, I have not yet received my review copy but I am told it is on the way. I actually loved the first season of this show, but subsequent seasons weren't able to live up to that first year. "Desperate Housewives" was always a soap opera, but it had a little something extra that made it entertaining. In follow-up seasons it almost became a parody of that first season and was never quite as good. While I haven't heard much (good or bad) about this fourth season I am looking forward to giving it a shot. Transformers (2-Disc Special Edition) Transformers is now on Blu-ray and for some reason no one seems to care, at least not to the level they did last year when Paramoung went HD DVD exclusive and Transformers wasn't released

Chris Cooper: "You Really Have to Work at It"

2 September 2008 12:17 AM, PDT | From GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news

By Sean Axmaker

"Chris Cooper made his film debut in John Sayles's Matewan," writes Sean Axmaker, introducing his interview with the actor. "In the 20 years since, his career has been defined by a remarkable wealth and variety of interesting characters and intense performances in films as diverse as Lone Star, American Beauty, Seabiscuit and Capote. He won an Oscar for Adaptation and his unsettling incarnation of CIA traitor Robert Hanssen in Breach was mesmerizing. He takes another rare leading role in Ira Sachs' Married Life, an unusual genre mix that combines period style and a story of adultery and one man's plot to murder his wife with a comedy of manners approach and a serious conversation about love and desire and marriage and relationships. I had the opportunity to talk to Mr Cooper about Married Life, married life, and a career playing such a diverse and memorable set of characters.

DVD Links: Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | Rss Feed Well, as you can see I am attempting a new layout this week and I have a feeling it will be changing over the next month or so as I am working on ways to make this column a little easier on me by having the database do most of the work. I can say this week was easier, but I think I still have a little something up my sleeve to speed up the process a little more and perhaps add a few more bells and whistles to the presentation below. Enough of that though, let's see what's out there this week. Van Helsing (2-Disc Collector's Edition) I actually have this here in the lab, and I couldn't bring myself to watch it again. I tried giving it another go around way back when I received the HD DVD version and I just couldn't.

And his new bride – wearing five-inch heels and a fitted Ralph Lauren dress – was there to show her support. So, two weeks after their surprise island nuptials, how is married life going? "Fantastic," Carey told People. Later, she added, "It's a stone smash!" (Carey is an ambassador for Operation Smile, which provides surgery to children with cleft palates and other facial deformities.

"Married Life"

7 March 2008 7:15 AM, PST | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Matt Singer

By the end of "Married Life," the characters have caused each other a great deal of harm in order to better their own lives, and they know it. Is it wrong, they wonder, to build one's happiness on the unhappiness of others? If it is, that makes going to the movies one of the most immoral acts you can do. What are movies, after all, if not the vicarious enjoyment of the suffering of others?

There's plenty of suffering here, and thus plenty to enjoy. The film focuses on four people living at the turn of the 1950s and the damage they do to one another. Harry (Chris Cooper) is married to Pat (Patricia Clarkson), but their relationship chilled some time ago. Harry confides to his best friend Richard (Pierce Brosnan) that he wants something more out of a woman than just "the sex" by way of introducing him to his mistress,
