Ant and Dec are thrilled that the line up for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here has been leaked, proving that they can attract the biggest names to any of their shows, with the best ever cast on a reality TV show. Actress Julia Roberts is so far confirmed, following a disappointing comeback on the movie scene, where her remake of Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder - Dial P for Pizza (in 3D ) bombed at...

In the Great Coen Debates that occur among film fans, there's one that I never feel gets enough love: Miller's Crossing. It's probably my favorite next to The Big Lebowski . The film is deliciously dark and dreary (you can watch this in summer and still feel cold), but punctuated by that startling Coens humor. The dialogue and character quirks are not as exaggerated as they are in other Coen films,...

I know force-feeding is cruel, but the former James Bond's call to send foie gras the way of life's other pleasures must be resisted I love Roger Moore and I love foie gras but the first wants to have the second banned . What cruel dilemma: que faire? Let me first explain my love for both. I know, Roger Moore is most often seen with sniggering contempt in Britain: he was never forgiven for offering...

by JAMES CURTIS Ronald Koeman and his trusted staff accommodated the away dug-out last night wearing long black trench coats, black ties and matching leather gloves. As Arsenal pounded the Alkmaar goal one of his grey-haired men scribbled notes into small black book. It was like watching a scene from The Untouchables. While I’m thinking of [...]

I find this article from the New York Times to be fascinating. Apparently, J.D. Salinger (now, age 90) has sued a Swedish author named Fredrik Colting (age 33) for copyright infringement. From what I can tell, Colting wrote a character that is presumed to be Holden Caufield at age 76. This character is referred to as Mr. C-- never Holden Caufield. Yet, it's apparent by the character's being and the...

My first experience of James Bond was during a weekend stay with my Gran. Whilst lazing on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon and hopping channels on the TV, Sean Connery appeared on the screen messing around with gadgets and spouting witty one liners. I haven’t been the same since. So imagine my delight when browsing [...]

From 1989, Steven Spielberg's third leg of the Indiana Jones trilogy doesn't quite match the first, but the interplay between Sean Connery (as Indy Sr.) and Harrison Ford is awfully fun to watch. It's a first-rate popcorn movie, with Nazis we love to hate, a big improvement over Te...

The USC School of Cinematic Arts will pay tribute to the creator of the longest-running film series ever, with a weekend centennial featuring screenings, panels and exhibits. Albert "Cubby" Broccoli was a self-made man who not only believed in the American dream but lived it as producer of the James Bond films, the longest-running film franchise in cinema history.

Last week we shared the good news that West Virginia's iconic Greenbrier Resort seems to be back on its feet and freshly pedicured feet at that. But in addition to adding a new resto and coming-soon casino, C2 Limited Design Associates is injecting the resort with some mod accents. Indeed, the ol' Greenbrier is looking sexy and not even in that Sean Connery distinguished sort of way....

The Irish accent has beaten its French counterpart as the world's sexiest, thanks to stars like Colin Farrell and James Nesbitt. Men with an Emerald Isle brogue came top in a poll of 5,000 women worldwide, while the French accent only came fourth, just ahead of Australian. Italian, the native language of stars such as jockey Frankie Dettori, was second. In third place was the Scottish burr, made famous...

How many times have you been told to take a chance, and not be afraid of making a mistake? But no matter how often we hear it, we refrain from going out on a limb, because of our fear of those mistakes. Of course nobody likes making mistakes, but they’re seldom insurmountable. Most importantly, we all make them. So get out there and do what you do. Stop worrying about the potholes in the road...

Sleep was impossible. You would spend an hour in your tent, bashing everything you could find over the head with a shoe until you were convinced all was well, and then you’d lie down and close your eyes and, within a minute, you’d sense that a JCB was driving up your leg. This is extremely frightening. Bashing rainforest insects over the head with a shoe is pointless. It just makes them...

I’ve often wondered what value my Ethno-botany days at the University have on my current career now. Back in my college days, I dreamed of finding the cure to cancer via medicinal plants, to live in the rainforest with native cultures and learn their traditional methods of healing through local plants. I romanced the idea of healing the world, to be the Medicine Woman, to climb big tall trees...

He won 34 per cent of the vote, while Gerard Butler came second with 21 per cent for his shirtless scenes as Spartan king Leonidas in "300". Brad Pitt's sculpted chest and abdomen in "Troy" secured third place with 13 percent of the vote. Sacha Baron Cohen came an unlikely fourth for his "mankini" scene in "Borat," followed by Sean Connery in 1965 Bond adventure "Thunderball" and Leonardo DiCaprio...
