Occasional Queen Helen Mirren donned her Queenly garb once again, although this time it wasn't for the stage or to yell at drummers -- but to make a dying little boy's wish come true.
Add this to your list of reasons why Dame Helen Mirren is the effing best.
At the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards in London on Sunday, Feb. 10, Dame Helen Mirren walked the red carpet with her normally blonde hair tinged pale pink -- an idea she said she got from 'America’s Next Top Model.'
Many of Alfred Hitchcock's movies, from 'Psycho' to 'Vertigo' to 'Rear Window,' are about voyeurism, so the idea of peering into Hitchcock's own previously hidden private life does make a certain amount of sense. But if 'Hitchcock' resonates with some of the Master of Suspense's ideas, it's never faithful to his spirit. Hitch would never have put his name on a film so full of lame pop psychology and so bereft of excitement, tension and humor. Which is a shame, since the title of this movie is his name.
April 11, 2011 The weekend box office brought good news and bad news for comedian Russell Brand.
The good news: Brand's live-action/animated comedy 'Hop' took the top spot for the second weekend in a row, with $21.7 million. That marks a 42 percent drop from last weekend, bringing the film's grand total to $68.2 million thus far.
Unfortunately, Brand's other movie, 'Arthur,' a remake of the Oscar-winning '80s comedy starring Dudley Moore, underperformed with audiences, bringing in just $12.6 million. The movie, which also stars Greta Gerwig, Jennifer Garner and Helen Mirren, suffered from poor reviews that likely killed its word of mouth.
