The event was followed by a fundraiser for the Kitsap...
Clint Eastwood is less than a month from releasing his next film, Invictus, and it already appears as if the old goat is working on his next masterwork...
Clint Eastwood works fast. He had two films out last year, Changeling and Gran Torino. He's got Invictus opening next month, but is already shooting his next picture, called Hereafter. That one, written by Peter Morgan, is one we haven't reported on too much yet, but features Matt Damon in a story of "of three people who are touched by death in different ways." We'd heard but hadn't reported...
The son of a boy from Saskatoon who was an unwilling accomplice and victim in the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders in California in the 1920s is telling his father's story in a book.
Clint Eastwood’s storied film career seems like it has no more room left for fresh highlights. Think again. The actor’s late 2008 film “Gran Torino” is the number one worldwide Video on Demand (VOD) title of 2009. That’s right. A 78-year-old action star beat out every young punk in the business this year. What’s more amazing is that Eastwood’s [...] Related...

I’ve definitely had a conflicted relationship with the recent work of Clint Eastwood. I really really disliked Changeling but surprisingly totally dug Gran Torino . However, I have to say his latest film, Invictus , looks unquestioningly awesome. It tells the true story of how Nelson Mandela worked with the captain of the South African rugby team to try and bring unity to South Africa through...
Is this 2009's Best Picture? Warner Brothers has debuted the official trailer for Clint Eastwood's Invictus tonight on Apple in HD. I think with Eastwood directing you never know what to expect (especially for Gran Torino ), but this looks like it promises to be quite an incredible film. Invictus stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon (who we also saw earlier today in Green Zone ) as...
Seems like Jerry Bruckheimer is excited to adapt even more video games. Variety reports that he is set to adapt Shattered Union, published by 2K Games, and has hired screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski to write the script. In the game, states secede from the US and form their own governments that wage a civil war against each other after Washington DC is wiped out in a nuclear blast and chaos ravages...
Most 15 year olds are in the dreaded throes of their high school education, and while Josh Moore is as well, he's got plenty more on his plate than just homework. After starting out in stand-up comedy and working in student films at the University of Texas in his hometown of Austin, Moore made the move to Los Angeles in 2007 and quickly went to work. His first film role was in Clint Eastwood's 2008...
Can Warner Brothers repeat the success of Gran Torino twice? Yahoo has debuted the official poster for Clint Eastwood's Invictus, which stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as rugby player Francois Pienaar. We're not sure when the first trailer will hit (probably later this week), but I'm just as excited to see this poster, mainly because Invictus is the last big Oscar wildcard. Most...

Kim will...
Changeling : 6.6 out of 10. Clint Eastwood has made several better films than this, but even if Changeling doesn't measure up to Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby and his other superior movies, it's still a great deal better than most of the slop out there. Angelina Jolie plays the primary role well, and although it's a bit long, it's an interesting story. I'm just glad Clint will be making films into...
