British tabloid ‘The Sun’ is “reporting” that Megan Fox has officially signed on to play Catwoman in the third installment of Batman. Fox joins Cher, Angelina Jolie and Miley Cyrus on the list of rumored catwomen.
Megan Fox is also rumored to play Wonder Woman, Lara Croft and any other role that needs a busty young brunette.
While the rumor is most certainly false, enjoy this mock-up of how Fox might look playing the part. Just try not to think about her acting the part.
Robert Downey, Jr. is “Entertainment Weekly’s” Entertainer of the Year. No argument here. The charismatic movie star was brilliant in “Iron Man” and “Tropic Thunder.” The rest of the list is solid.
2. Tina Fey
3. Cast and crew of “The Dark Knight,”
4. The ‘Gossip’ Girls (Blake Lively, Leighton Meester)
5. Stephanie Meyer
6. Lil Wayne
7. Rock Band
8. The women of “Sex and the City,”
9. Jonas Brothers
10. The Talking Heads (of the 2008 Election) (more…)
“Star Trek” is the cover story, written by Jim Jensen, in the new “Entertainment Weekly” (now online). Jensen writes:
Director J.J. Abrams says he was also drawn to the project because he believed in — and wanted to evangelize — Trek’s unabashed idealism. ‘I think a movie that shows people of various races working together and surviving hundreds of years from now is not a bad message to put out right now,’ says Abrams. Star Trek just may find itself on the leading wave of a zeitgeist shift — away from bleak, brooding blockbusters and toward the light. ‘In a world where a movie as incredibly produced as ‘The Dark Knight’ is raking in gazillions of dollars, Star Trek stands in stark contrast,’ Abrams says. ‘It was important to me that optimism be cool again.’
December 9th! I may actually have to buy a Blu-Ray DVD player for this one.
Woaahhhhhh. From Moviehole..
My whole thing is that that I saw ‘The Dark Knight’. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved ‘The Prestige’ but didn’t understand ‘The Dark Knight’. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so f–king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? F-ck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.
Duck and cover. It’s going to get ugly on the SuperHeroHype forums!

In cinemas and IMAX nationwide on 18 July
Audiences have been anticipating “The Dark Knight” for over a year. Just last July, groups of teenagers in Joker makeup paraded around San Diego’s Comic-Con to get the first look at the upcoming trailer. A year later, the hype around the film has turned from giddy-nerd enthusiasm to somber-celebration after the death of Heath Ledger. I was skeptical when first hearing about the Oscar buzz surrounding Heath Ledger’s performance in this film but after seeing it, I have swung my vote. There have been enough great quotes about his performance that I’m sure we will see plastered on billboards and tv trailers for the next couple months but the fact is; Heath Ledger’s performance is so charismatic and sinister that it should go down in film history.
Let’s assume you know nothing about this film for a second. “The Dark Knight” is the next Chapter in the Christopher Nolan Batman saga. The city of Gotham (played by the city of Chicago) plays one of the most important roles in this film as Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman (Christian Bale) and The Joker (Heath Ledger) try to sway the city and it’s citizens in and out of self-destruction. “The Dark Knight” is more than just a comic book movie, it works as an intricate crime thriller that compares with the likes of “Se7en.” It may or may-not be “the best comic-book movie of all time,” but it certainly is the best film of the summer.
