The smell of latkes frying, the sound of children giggling over gelt, the sight of a human centipede menorah crawling out before a giant red-headed late-night host… ah, it must be Hanukkah! READ FULL STORY »

Image Credit: Francois Duhamel Where is Lillian, Ohio?
Lillian does not exist. Abrams named the steel town setting of his movie after his grandmother.
So where did they actually shoot the movie?
Weirton, W.V., small town way up north in the state’s panhandle. The town was previously used as one of the locations in The Deer Hunter and the primary location in the 1984 movie Reckless, which starred Darryl Hannah and Aidan Quinn. READ FULL STORY »

Summer Movie Body Count: You can get hit by a train and live in 'Super 8'
Image Credit: Francois Duhamel
Week 6 of EW’s 2011 Summer Movie Body Count continues with Super 8. For those of you who do not possess an extra-terrestrial memory, here’s a reminder of the rules. SPOILER ALERT: Things are about to get messy!
For a monster movie with a plot predicated upon an off-screen death and a catastrophic train accident, Super 8 had very few actual, confirmed fatalities. There were several pump fakes, most notably, Dr. Woodword — ya know, the dude who rammed his pickup head-first into a moving train. Instead of winding up a smear on the railroad tracks, he was discovered by the Super Six kids still breathing, and able to raise his voice and hold up a gun to boot, in his shredded tin can of a vehicle. Woodword showed up later lying in a secret Air Force hospital room bed, only to then meet his demise (confirmed by the reliable flatline tone) via a lethal injection. Survives a head-on collision with a freight train, dies weak and feeble from a syringe. That’s just not right.
(Speaking of the crash, there was presumably a crew operating the train, but our specific rules regarding the Body Count prohibit including off-screen deaths, and seeing as Woodword survived the disaster, who’s to say the train crew didn’t, too?) READ FULL STORY »

'Soul Surfer' premiere: Lil' Bethany Hamilton is all grown up

Remember 13-year-old Bethany Hamilton, the cute little blond girl who in 2003 was on all the morning news programs sharing the harrowing tale of how she lost an arm in shark attack? Well, she’s all grown up now. Last night, the professional surfer was on the red carpet with (from left) Carrie Underwood, AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, and Lorraine Nicholson for the premiere of Soul Surfer, the movie about her amazing return to the top of her sport. And frankly, the always-beautiful Ms. Carrie has nothing on the statuesque athlete, now 21, who did all the surfing stunt work in the movie and helped teach Robb, who plays her, how to surf. Inspirational, tough, and beautiful — quite a package, and one I wouldn’t mind seeing walk more red carpets in the future.

Charlie Sheen kisses Jimmy Kimmel on his very moist lips
Last night a Charlie Sheen tornado ripped through the Jimmy Kimmel Live set during a segment with Mark Cuban. The… actor? performer? let’s just say “self-promoting celebrity subject of international intrigue” stormed out to uproarious cheering, hugged Cuban, gave Kimmel a big sloppy kiss on the mouth, then tossed t-shirts to the audience emblazoned with various Sheenian slogans, like the kitty-cat “Tiger Blood” shirt, and a Sheen portrait with “winning” written underneath (Cuban grabbed one of those for himself). Then, after giving Kimmel a coffee mug with pictures of cartoon foxes pasted onto it, the warlock was off again. “I have a show to write, dammit!” he told the disappointed crowd.
Heck knows what’s gonna happen to this guy’s career after all this insanity. But it sure seemed like he had that Kimmel crowd eating out of his hand last night. Video below. READ FULL STORY »

Charlie Sheen on 'Today': 'It's $3 mil an episode, take it or leave it'
The Charlie Sheen Warlock tour kicked off on the Today Show this morning with an interview between the Two and a Half Men star and NBC’s Jeff Rossen. Sheen addressed some of the huge questions surrounding the “war” he has declared against CBS and Men executive producer Chuck Lorre, including his recent self-treatment for what remains a rather ill-defined ailment. Sheen told Rossen he doesn’t remember the last time he did drugs (results of a drug test revealed on GMA this morning also indicate that he is clean), and said he has rejected the “fiction” of Alcoholics Anonymous and its “5 percent success rate.” Instead, he created the Sober Valley Lodge in his own home, he told Rossen, and wouldn’t allow AA to be any part of it. “Their primary client achieved radical success,” Sheen said of Sober Lodge (which, again, is his house). When Rossen asked if relapse was an issue, Sheen replied that relapse was only for “Fools, trolls, weak, defeated — they allowed defeat to be an option. I will not.” READ FULL STORY »
