Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are fighting a plan to upgrade/expand a much-needed hospital near their NYC city home. Page Six has the scoop.
I’d like to hear more from their side of the story. So far, Sarandon’s public statement is pretty tepid. But Page Six can be a little … sensational in its reporting at times, and I want to be fair to the power couple. On the surface, though, it looks pretty darn hypocritical.
Anyone has any updates from the Robbins/Sarandon camp, please keep me posted. And I’ll be on the lookout as well.

“Mamma Mia!” isn’t your typical movie, not by a longshot. Movie musicals remain a rare breed, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Not only is the film, which opens Friday, unabashedly aimed at women, but the bulk of its stars are all well past their 40th birthday.
It’s like wrinkle-palooza, but at the risk of being PC I found it all pretty darn refreshing. It helps you’ve got some old pros on board - Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan and Julie Walters lead the charge into musical battle. [click to continue...]
Hilary Swank owns two Oscars, but she’s a stranger in a strange land in the rom-com “P.S. I Love You,” now on DVD. How can such a talented actress look so lost while swooning over “300’s” Gerard Butler?
The mystery eludes me, but the film takes a winning premise and saps all the romance right out of it.
My review over at Donne Tempo shares the ugly truth behind this overstuffed turkey.

The haunted house genre isn’t dead. It’s just been waiting for a director with a dollop of imagination to knock on its door.
Director Juan Antonio Bayona’s “The Orphanage,” now available on DVD, does all the right things with this sturdy genre. My review at Pop Matters shares just how truly creepy the 2007 film turned out to be.
Little blood. No gore. Ah, what a nice change of pace.
