News: Penn Takes A Break From Movies

Hopefully this will not be for too long !!!

Sean Penn is taking a break from his movie career – the Oscar winner has pulled out of his next two film projects.

The star has quit his upcoming role in action picture Cartel and scrapped plans to work alongside Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey in The Three Stooges.

Penn, who recently reconciled with wife Robin Wright Penn after their second split in 18 months, is rumoured to be taking time out to spend more time with his partner and their two teenage children.

The actor’s publicist Mara Buxbaum confirmed the news to E! Online, “We indeed informed both productions that Sean was not available now. If for whatever reason the start dates on these productions were to be postponed, Sean would happily remain involved.”


Goal II (2007) Review

The second installement picks up as Santiago is transfered from Newcastle United to Real Madrid, along with Gavin Harris . . . who was not good for Newcastle. Again part of why it was not realistic. But this way David Beckham and Raul could be in this movie more . . .

Goal! (2005) Review

Football or soccer is pretty much my life, always has been and always will be. Playing, watching and coaching just everything about it has consumed me from a very early age. I cannot remember not kicking a ball around or wanting to play in the street or on the grass. But for some reason football does not seem to transfer very well onto the big screen.

An Affair to Remember (1957) Review

One of my most favorite movies, because it is just so romantic and lovely. Without even having a kiss between the two main characters. Its old fashioned in every sense, but I am sure it was quite shocking at the time. Two people who were engaged to someone else meeting and falling in love on a boat (and probably more . . . but you do not see this on screen, you can make your own mind up on that). But watching it now it just screams niceness and how you would just love things to work out.

News: Black Wants To Be A Ghostbuster

I think Jack Black would fit in so well in Ghostbusters !!!

Jack Black is desperate to star in the new Ghostbusters sequel and lobbied original star Harold Ramis when the pair worked together on new movie Year One.

After directing Black in the neanderthal comedy, Ramis is preparing to reprise his role as Dr. Egon Spengler in the third Ghostbusters film.

The veteran is also on the shortlist to direct the sequel, and Black admits he used his time with Ramis to campaign for the chance to hunt ghouls with him.

Black tells Moviefone, “Could I see myself in it? Yeah, I can bust some ghosts! I ain’t (sic) afraid of no ghosts! Buster.”

Ghostbusters III will star the original line-up of Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, as well as a new batch of younger spook chasers.
