Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Oscar-winning actor who played everything
from a maverick CIA agent to a drag queen to a Catholic priest, has
died. He was 46.
Police sources say Hoffman was found unconscious at around 11:15 this
morning on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment at 35 Bethune
St. in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan by friend and
screenwriter David Katz, who called 911. He was pronounced dead at the
scene.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, but a law enforcement
official tells ABC News heroin was found at the scene and a hypodermic
needle was sticking out of Hoffman's arm. The New York Police Department
is continuing to investigate.
Results from the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner on the exact cause of death are expected on Monday.
Hoffman's family released the following statement on the actor's untimely death this afternoon:
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the
outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. This is a
tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you respect our privacy during
this time of grieving. Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers."
Hoffman won the Best Actor Academy Award and the Golden Globe Best
Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for his leading role
in the 2005 film "Capote," which detailed the five-year period during
which author Truman Capote penned "In Cold Blood."
He was nominated for three Best Supporting Actor Oscars, for "The Master," "Doubt," and "Charlie Wilson's War."
The second of four children, Hoffman was born on July 23, 1967 in
Fairport, N.Y., to mother Marilyn O'Connor (née Loucks), a lawyer, and
father Gordon Stowell Hoffman who worked for Xerox.
He graduated with a BFA in drama from New York University's Tisch School
of the Arts in 1989 and began his film career in 1991, starring in his
debut role in the indie production "Triple Bogey on a Par Five Hole."
Hoffman's breakthrough role came in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie
Nights" (1997), after which he quickly became known for his leading and
supporting roles on the big screen, including Todd Solondz's "Happiness"
(1998), "Flawless" (1999), "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999), Paul
Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" (1999), "Almost Famous" (2000) and "State
and Main" (2000).
In 2005, Hoffman starred in the role that would lead him to win the Los
Angeles Film Critics Award as Best Actor for his performance in
"Capote." The next year, he won an Oscar for the same part.
He also proved himself a capable theater actor on Broadway, receiving
two Tony nominations for Best Actor in 2000 for a revival of Sam
Shepard's "True West" and again in 2003 for a revival of Eugene
O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night."
In 2012, Hoffman starred as Willy Loman in the Broadway revival of
Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, receiving rave reviews from critics
and his third Tony Award nomination as Best Leading Actor in a Play.
Hoffman made his film directorial debut in 2010 with "Jack Goes
Boating." More recently Hoffman appeared in Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Hoffman has previously been in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. In
his early twenties, Hoffman said he started abusing drugs not long after
graduating from his degree at NYU.
"I went [to rehab], I got sober when I was 22 years old," Hoffman
revealed during a 2006 interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes." "You get
panicked ... and I got panicked for my life."
He also said he was lucky he got sober before becoming famous and had the money to feed his addiction.
"I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a
sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich," he said in the interview.
"I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead."'
The actor said he kicked the habit for 23 years and had remained sober
until May 2013 when he briefly relapsed and returned to rehab after
admitting to snorting heroin.
Hoffman's death comes one day after representatives issued a statement
denying a report about the actor's death earlier in the week.
He is succeeded by his girlfriend, costume designer Mimi O'Donnell,
their son, Cooper, 10 and two daughters, Tallulah, 7, and Willa, 5.

But you’ll probably have seen Emily Ratajkowski wearing even less than she is in our sexy pictures.
British-born
Emily is the female star in the infamous Blurred Lines music video,
where she writhes around singer Robin Thicke, has a toy car driven over
her back and cuddles a lamb.
And if you’ve seen the uncensored version, you’ll see Emily strips topless to nothing but a skimpy flesh-coloured thong.
Now
the success of the controversial video – which has been watched more
than 170million times – has given the 22-year-old’s career a boost. And
here the beauty shows off her amazing figure once more, modelling for US
lingerie firm Frederick’s Of Hollywood.
Emily says: “I want to be a model who breaks boundaries. I’m not typical. I’m not 5ft 10in. I’m not an A-cup.
“I think the industry is moving towards this direction.
“Basically,
I want to be successful in this industry so that down the line I can
invest in other projects, like movies that I love or an artist or a
photographer."
“Maybe I’ll eventually become a producer, but for the next three
or four years I really just want to be a successful model and actress.”
Emily was born in London to a Polish father and a British mother who worked as an English professor and writer.
Her unusual surname comes from her mixed heritage, but Emily insists it is easy to pronounce.
“The J is silent,” she says. “That’s the trick. Occasionally people get it right on the fi rst try, just through random luck.
“People have told me to change it over the years, but my dad is always saying: ‘Never change your name.’
“My middle name is O’Hara so it’s a pretty epic name. Emily O’Hara Ratajkowski.”
The
brunette was brought up in California but often visited Europe as a
child, spending time in Bantry, Ireland, and Mallorca. She got into
modelling when she was 14.
“I was really into theatre, soccer, acting and ballet,” says
Emily. “My parents didn’t want a child star model so I didn’t get into
it until I was 14.”
After posing nude for the cover of the US
magazine Treats, Emily landed a role in Maroon 5’s Love Somebody video
and was talent spotted to be in Robin Thicke’s now legendary video.
But on hearing she would have to be naked, Emily originally said no.
“On
paper it sounded pretty crazy,” she says. “It was naked girls dancing
around, and I didn’t know what it would actually turn out like.
“I
turned it down, and then two days later the video director Diane Martel
called my agent and was like: ‘Look, just let me meet with her.’ We
really got along and I was like: ‘You’re the person in charge of this?
Cool!’
“Then, when the rate was negotiated, we sort of decided: ‘Well, it can’t hurt you.’
“It’s pretty funny, because it obviously didn’t hurt me at all.”
Both the song and video have been blasted as being sexist and encouraging rape, but Emily does not agree.
She explains: “On the surface level, the naked women dancing, I understand that can be perceived that way.
“But
it was just completely ridiculous, and so much fun. The whole thing is
supposed to be silly. Lots of people don’t catch that.
“The way we
are annoying them, being playful and having a good time with our bodies
– it’s something very important for young women today to have that
confidence.
“I think it’s actually celebrating women and their bodies.”

So, it finally happened: The boys got back together.
We’re
talking about NSYNC, of course. After getting introduced by Jimmy Fallon
as “the President of Pop,” the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard
Award-winning Justin Timberlake took the stage for a career
retrospective of his solo work beginning with (a seemingly pretaped)
“Take Back the Night,” “SexyBack” into a super medley of “Like I Love
You,” “My Love,” “Cry Me a River,” “Senorita,” “Rock Your Body,”
“Another One Bites the Dust,” and “Pusher Love.” (Because of audio
issues, unfortunately, it also sounded at home like it was “being played
through a kazoo,” as one EW commenter put it).
Either way, that was all just a prelude to the real treat of seeing
the other four members of your favorite late-nineties/early-aughts boy
band ascend from underneath the stage. Together with JT, the
boys-to-thirtysomething-men took everyone down memory lane with
truncated performances of “Girlfriend” and “Bye Bye Bye” — with original
choreography!
But the fun couldn’t last forever, and soon Justin sent the four tag-alongs back underground from whence they came.

With them out of the way, JT went on to serenade the crowd with his
more recent jams “Suit & Tie” and “Mirrors.” Still, Timberlake
didn’t forget his mates. Later, when accepting his honorary Moon Man, JT
gave his old pals a shout-out, telling them he’s sharing the special
prize with them. He did, however, add a caveat: “I’m keeping it at my
house.”
But the real sadness is that Cyrus's implied message need not be true – as other successful young female artists are proving
Miley Cyrus … baring all in the name of art
Another day, another Miley Cyrus controversy. Last time it was twerking at the VMAs;
this time it's the video for her new song, Wrecking Ball (hypocrisy
disclosure: scroll down and you can watch the clip I'm about to complain
about across several hundred words). In said video you can see: Miley
nude! Miley in her undies! Miley orally pleasuring a sledgehammer! Yes,
you can watch – of all the sights in the world – Miley Cyrus simulating
fellatio on something you'd find in a garden shed. What next? Selena
Gomez giving a handjob to a strimmer?
I have a 13-year-old daughter, so Cyrus has been part of our family life since Hannah Montana
launched on the Disney Channel in 2006. In company with my daughter,
I've seen countless episodes of the TV show; I've seen the spinoff
movie; I've seen the 3D concert film; I saw one of the five sold-out shows at the O2 in 2009.
Now
Cyrus evidently wants to cast aside her crown as queen of the tweens,
and she's gone about it in the way that many young women who became
famous very young have done: she's embraced sexualisation. What's
startling about Cyrus's journey is the extent of the embrace: the
Wrecking Ball video doesn't demonstrate a woman exploring her sexuality,
it depicts a woman exploring the iconography of porn. That was
inevitable once she chose the repulsive Terry Richardson – a man whose work gives the impression that he looks at a woman and can't help seeing a blow-up sex doll – as director.
What
disturbs me about Wrecking Ball isn't the fear that my daughter will
look at the video and decide to learn about sex from garden implements.
After all, one reason tween stars have to reinvent themselves is that
the tweens themselves move on so quickly – part of the journey into
adolescence consists of casting aside childhood love. I'm sure she'll be
curious, and look at the video, but I also suspect she'll be
embarrassed by Wrecking Ball, rather than inspired by it. That said, I'm
probably not alone among parents in dreading the likely question: "Why
has she done this?"
That's the more troubling aspect of Wrecking
Ball. Maybe Cyrus has done this entirely of her own voliition. And it is
certainly not my place, as a 44-year-old man, to pronounce on how
20-year-old women should display their sexuality. But whatever her
reasons for making the video, Cyrus does send a message: that the best
way for young women to be noticed is to sexually objectify themselves.
And, in this case – sadly – it seems to have worked.
It's now
five past noon, and Wrecking Ball has had 14,453,182 views on YouTube.
It's added more than a million since I started writing this piece. I'm
reminded of a line spoken by Ryan Gosling in the film Crazy Stupid Love: "The war between the sexes is over. We won the second women started doing pole dancing for exercise." Reading on mobile? Watch here
Even
sadder, though, is that proof is out there that young women can be huge
popular successes without turning themselves into sex toys for Terry
Richardson. Cyrus didn't have to go this way. Taylor Swift
connects with a huge, young audience, and she does so through her songs
and her personality, not by turning herself into – let's not put too
fine a point on this – a wank fantasy. Ditto Kacey Musgraves, reaching No2 in the US album charts with her fantastic record Same Trailer Different Park.
So,
as a parent, I can't help but be glad that my daughter's favourite
records of the moment include Same Trailer Different Park and Swift's
last album, Red. And I wonder how many of the tens of millions of people
who will watch the video for Wrecking Ball will translate that prurient
interest into a desire to see Cyrus's next tour, or download her next
album, or watch her next film. Because exposing yourself so completely
makes your flaws all the more apparent.
(CNN) -- "Lee Daniels' The Butler" follows the life
of Cecil Gaines, an African-American butler who serves in the White
House under eight presidencies. Inspired by real-life butler Eugene
Allen, Gaines (played by Forest Whitaker) witnesses the rise of the
civil rights movement, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination,
Vietnam and the election of the Barack Obama, all while simultaneously
balancing the highs and lows of his family life.
Tracing the evolution of
20th century American society through the lens of one man's life, this
passion project from director Lee Daniels and screenwriter Danny Strong
drew Hollywood's top talent. Along with Whitaker -- Oprah Winfrey, David
Oyelowo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Terrence
Howard, James Marsden, Robin Williams and more signed on to the film.
The star-studded cast opened up to CNN about what it took to make one of
summer's most buzzed about movies, and revealed the behind-the-scenes
secrets on the set of "The Butler."
Set secret No. 1: Lee Daniels despises his name in the film's title
Following an extensive
battle with the MPAA over the movie's original title "The Butler," also
the name of a 1916 short, Lee Daniels reluctantly agreed to
differentiate his film by using the title "Lee Daniels' the Butler." Yet
the director admits he doesn't like seeing his name on the marquee, and
says the title change broke his heart.
"I do work for kids that
are impoverished, that come from where I come from, which is the
projects, and I don't want them to feel that your name is more important
than your work," Daniels said. "I don't feel comfortable with it. I
don't feel like I'm Martin Scorsese, or Quentin Tarantino. I'm just a
filmmaker trying to tell a story."
Presidents' butler mingled with powerful
Digging deeper into 'The Butler'
Oprah returns to the silver screen
Set secret No. 2: Cuba Gooding Jr. was up for the role of Cecil Gaines
Cuba Gooding Jr. once
eyed the role of leading man Cecil Gaines, and even did a screen test
for the part before Forest Whitaker was cast as the butler.
"But after watching the movie," Gooding Jr. said, "I could not picture anybody else other than Forest Whitaker."
Set secret No. 3: Terrence Howard avoided looking 'too pretty' by removing a fake tooth
Daniels wanted to cast
his pal Terrence Howard in "The Butler," but thought he was "too pretty"
for the role of Gaines' feisty neighbor. That is, until Howard removed a
fake tooth he's had for 25 years to toughen up for the part.
"Lee called me and he
was like, 'TT, I'm having trouble. I want to put you in this movie, but I
can't now. There's this one character left but you're too pretty for
him. I don't know what to do!' " Howard recalled. "And he's like, 'Can
we cut your hair off or maybe give you an eye patch or a scar or
something?' And I was like, 'You know what, I got a crown on this front
tooth, you know, I can take that out.' He's like, 'Don't you do it!
Don't you do it! ... I'll set up a dentist appointment right away!'"
Set secret No. 4: Cuba Gooding Jr. jumped into a pool sans swimsuit at a 'Butler' kick-off party
Daniels says his lips
are sealed about many of the behind-the-scenes moments on the set of
"The Butler." Yet he does indulge in one story about a raucous launch
party.
"Cuba, Cuba ... "
Daniels reminisced. "At our opening party for the cast, Oprah was there
and everybody was there, and Cuba decided to jump into the pool naked.
Let's just say that was the beginning of "The Butler." Oh, "Lee Daniels'
The Butler."
Set secret No. 5: Oprah Winfrey took Daniels' direction with a smile ...until he asked her to get into her underwear
Daniels said he felt
very protective of Oprah Winfrey on the set, as she readily took his
direction and allowed herself to become vulnerable. But the duo did
clash once: when Daniels asked the Big O to bare it all.
"I had her in her bra
and panties," Daniels said. "She was like 'No!' And I said 'Oh, OK.' I
would have fought her on it, but the only reason why I didn't is because
it was a PG-13 movie. 'You win.' "
Set secret No. 6: Terrence Howard thinks he and Oprah have chemistry
Terrence Howard and
Oprah Winfrey share a hot and heavy scene in "The Butler," and Howard
brags they teamed up well on screen because they have chemistry in real
life too.
Making out with Oprah,
he said, is "the greatest dream for any man. A guy can get the prom
queen, but to get Miss America or get Miss Universe? That's the notch in
the belt." But really, he insists, "She was into me! She had to approve
me in that role. You're not going to pick somebody to kiss and have a
closeness like that with, that you don't have a potential attraction
for!"
Set secret No. 7: James Marsden faced incredible pressure to get his JFK accent right
To prep for the enormous
task of playing John F. Kennedy, James Marsden kept podcasts of the
president's iconic speeches on his iPod, which he listened to as he went
to sleep. The actor said getting the accent right was crucial in
accurately portraying Kennedy.
"That was a really
defining part of Jack: his accent," Marsden said. "It wasn't necessarily
Boston -- it was a little bit of New York, it was all these things
mixed in. It was the Kennedy accent. And I knew that was going to be the
barometer by which you're measured. And then beyond that you just hope
to bring something else that you might not have ever seen -- capture
sort of his essence, his intelligence, his charm. But I knew that all
those other pieces would not have fallen into place if you did not have
the accent."
Set secret No. 8: Yaya Alafia nearly vomited after being spit on during a dinner sit-in scene
When Yaya Alafia played a
black college student engaged in a sit-in at an all-white lunch
counter, she was actually spit on by another actress during filming.
Alafia reveals she had an overwhelming reaction to the degradation.
"The things that happen
in the body when something like that happens in real life happened on
set. You're acting, it's make believe, but the lines get blurry in
scenes like that. Especially when you're using real saliva," Alafia
said. "I actually had to jump up after cut, run out to the street and
get some fresh air. I thought I was gonna vomit. I just gagged a bunch
and washed my face probably four times. It took a while energetically to
cleanse as well. But it was always great to remind ourselves as
difficult as this was, it was nothing compared to the people that really
sat at these lunch counters and endured this time and again, and again,
and again. They couldn't go back to their hotel rooms and just shake it
off. There was no cut."
Set secret No. 9: Forest Whitaker referenced high-profile news stories to play Cecil Gaines
Whitaker said he
examined today's racially charged cases, and internalized these stories,
to get better into the mindset of his character.
"I had to take this
whole shape of history and make it a part of myself personally,"
Whitaker said. "To be able to take these experiences we're experiencing
today; what people are feeling about Trayvon Martin or Oscar Grant.
These things are affecting people and they're affecting their lives and
their souls. We have to remember when you talk about 'The Butler,' we're
talking about the civil rights movement, which is continuing. It's a
living history, it's not a dead history."
Set secret No.10: The movie portrays a first in Hollywood history
While "Lee Daniels' the
Butler" chronicles the evolution of the civil rights movement throughout
the 20th century, it is also a story about family. With the film,
screenwriter Danny Strong strove to portray African-American families in
a way that Hollywood has historically ignored.
"We don't (usually) see
the black family in this situation; intact and loving and talking, and
being. We don't see that on the screen," Strong said. "I had a moment
with Lee in the editing room; we were watching the scene where they send
Louis (David Oyelowo) away to college and he turned to me and said,
'Never in the history of cinema has there been a scene of a black family
sending their kid off to college.' He said, 'You should be really proud
of yourself.' And I started to tear up."
Do we smell a Dunder Mifflin bun in the oven???
Why, yes! Yes we do!!
The totes adorbz couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are officially on the road to parenthood, as one of their reps confirmed that they are expecting their first child together!!
How exciting!!
While there aren't any details on the gender yet, we hear that they

Fall for rich jewel colours this Autumn
As a celebrity, it is a must to be able to nail airport style, even
after a long distance flight. One person who always gets it right is
Emily Blunt, who looks glowing already after announcing her pregnancy.
We love that she has gone for top-to-toe comfort with a striped grey
jumper and suede desert boots - and still manages to look super chic.
The Devil Wears Prada actress looked
devilishly good, as the relaxed shape of the harem-style trousers with
the tailored tapered ankle create a flattering silhouette. What's more,
the subtle purple colour pop of her casual trousers bring the outfit
bang up to date, as jewel tones are set to be a big trend for the coming
season.
Allow yourself to be bejeweled by the hottest
hues around - from amethyst to soft sapphire or emerald green, and
breeze into autumn by wearing some sumptuously rich tones. We have got
it all covered for you - these Uniqlo cropped trousers are a gem of a
find at £12.90. But then, we do love these luxe Stella McCartney
trousers which are just the jewel in the crown. Why not try pairing
yours with a pair of sharp stilettos and a blazer for a sleek evening
outfit too?

RoboCop In case you didn't know, there's a "RoboCop" reboot coming next year to the big screen.
The first trailer for the MGM/Sony Pictures collaboration just debuted on Apple iTunes.
Footage for the José Padilha ("Elite Squad") directed movie was screened at this summer's San Diego Comic-Con convention.
The film stars Joel
Kinnaman ("The Killing") as RoboCopAlex Murphy, Gary Oldman, Michael
Keaton,Abbie Cornish, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Take note of the updated suit that pays homage toPaul Verhoeven’s original 1987 sci-fi flick.
With Saw 2013, the latest incarnation of the franchise
about to crash on to cinema screens everywhere, we thought it would be
worthwhile revisiting the other movies for a reminder of how we got to
this point. As you can imagine, this will be spoiler-tastic so if you
don’t want any of the films ruined, look away now.
Are the SAW 2013 -free lot gone? Good. We never liked them any… Oh, you’re still here? Erm.. Hi!
Since debuting in 2004, the franchise has become the highest-grossing
horror series of all time. Each film has had varying degrees of success
with fans and critics, but everything looks to have been building up to
this point, with SAW 2013 being billed as the last in
the series. Whether that’s true or not probably depends on the movie’s
performance at the box office, but the producers have done a good job of
gradually filling out the Jigsaw universe with each film, so don’t be
surprised if there’s a SAW 2013.
For those who know next to nothing about the series, it focuses on
Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) who sees himself as a lethal moral crusader. He
finds people who have followed a morally dubious path in life and
attempts to help them see the error of their ways. To do so, he places
them into deadly traps which can only be escaped by offering some form
of physical or psychological sacrifice. His decision to test his
subjects’ will to life stems from a terminal brain tumour, a miscarriage
suffered by his wife and an unsuccessful suicide attempt he made.
A lot happens in all of the films, but I’ll try my best to give you a quick snapshot of each film in the series:
Saw The original, and for my money best, film in the series, this is much more of a tension-packed thriller than a horror.
Two men, Adam Stanheight and Dr Lawrence Gordon, find themselves
trapped in a disgusting bathroom, chained to pipes. There is a corpse on
the ground which is holding a cassette player, which each man uses to
listen to a tape. They discover that Adam has been instructed to escape
the room while Lawrence has to kill Adam before the clock hits 6pm. If
Lawrence fails in his mission, Jigsaw will kill his wife and daughter.
After hearing the testimony of Jigsaw’s only surviving victim Amanda,
former police officer David Tapp has reason to believe that Lawrence is
Jigsaw (who killed his partner) and is keeping a close watch on the
Gordon family home. Before Gordon’s wife and daughter are killed by Zep
Hindle — also a victim of Jigsaw’s master plan — Tapp shoots at and
chases Zep who escapes underground.
With time running out and gunshots audible from a phone call to his
wife, Lawrence picks up a hacksaw, cuts through his foot and shoots
Adam. Zep then bursts into the bathroom and is killed (in my favourite
death of the series) by Adam — who survived being shot — with the cover
of a toilet. Then, the ‘corpse’ in the middle of the room stands up,
revealing the true identity of Jigsaw — John Kramer — and leaves the
room, slamming it shut and leaving Adam to die.
Saw II
Jigsaw raises the stakes when he is discovered at his lair by
detectives Eric Matthews and Allison Kerry, and Sergeant Rigg. He
reveals a bank of monitors depicting eight people (including Amanda and
Matthew’s son Daniel) locked up inside a house full of traps. Jigsaw
says that those trapped in the house have two hours to find a way out or
grab an antidote. However, Jigsaw says that if Matthews stays and talks
to him, he will discover his son in a safe place.
In the house, Xavier realises that each of the eight victims has a
number on the back of his or her neck. While the rest of them try to
find a way out, he hunts them down to get their numbers, which Xavier
believes combine to create the combination to a safe and the way out.
Each of those trapped in the house dies in various ways until just
Xavier, Amanda and Daniel remain. Daniel eventually kills Xavier with a
hacksaw.
At Jigsaw’s lair, Matthews sees Xavier looking for his son and
demands that Jigsaw take him to the house. The mastermind agrees and
takes Matthews to the house, where he is attacked and locked up in the
bathroom from the first film by Amanda, who is revealed to be Jigsaw’s
assistant.
Meanwhile, back at the mill, a safe opens to reveal Daniel ‘safe’ and well.
Saw III
Here, we learn more about the history between Jigsaw and Amanda, as
well as more information about how they came to be killers (I know, they
don’t kill anyone, but really, they kinda do). We see Matthews, trapped
at the end of the last film, escaping from the deadly duo. We also see
Detective Alison Kerry and Detective Mark Hoffman probe several Jigsaw
traps that were made inescapable, going against Jigsaw’s normal methods.
The main plot of this one follows Jeff Denlon, a man filled with
grief after his son was killed by a drunk driver, move through a series
of rooms where people are trapped. He discovers that all of them were
involved in the trial of his son’s killer — the drunk driver, a witness
who did not testify and a leniet judge — and is given the choice whether
to save them or let them die.
Meanwhile, Jeff’s wife Lynn has been ordered to keep Jigsaw alive
while her husband completes his game. If she does not, a series of
shotgun shells on a collar a round her neck will detonate and kill her.
As the movie progresses, Amanda begins to question Jigsaw’s devotion to
her. While Jeff carries out his tasks successfully, Amanda refuses to
let Lynn go and reveals that she had been the one who had designed traps
which people could not escape from.
Amanda tries to kill Lynn but Jeff, who has reached the same room,
stops her by shooting her in the neck. As Amanda dies, Jigsaw reveals
that it was really her who was being tested all along.
Jigsaw then offers Jeff one last choice: if he forgives Jigsaw and
lets him go, Jigsaw will save his family. If he chooses to kill Jigsaw
his family will suffer. Jeff opts to slash Jigsaw’s throat with a saw
and, before dying, Jigsaw reveals that Jeff’s daughter is locked in a
room and he will have to undergo another test to save her. Meanwhile, as
Jigsaw dies, Lynn’s collar explodes, killing her.
Saw IV Detective Hoffman and Lieutenant Rigg stumble upon Detective Alison
Kerry’s body, which had been rigged in an inescapable ‘Angel’s Wings’
trap by Amanda. They then meet FBI agents Strahm and Perez who are
investigating the Jigsaw case. Strahm speculates that, given how high up
Kerry’s body was positioned, Jigsaw must have had another protege
assisting him.
Later, Rigg wakes up at his home to discover that he has been forced
into a Jigsaw game which puts both his life and that of his former
partner, Matthews, at risk. Rigg is implored to see the world as Jigsaw
does, looking at criminals who have escaped justice. Rigg sees a female
pimp, serial rapist and an abusive husband die, while managing to save
the abused wife.
Meanwhile, Matthews is suspended over a melting block of ice and if
he falls, Hoffman, who has been captured, will be electrocuted.
Meanwhile, Strahm eventually finds his way to the factory where those
two are trapped and he finds Jeff from the previous film, who he kills
in self-defence.
Rigg, who was being tested to let go of his obsessions and acting
more rationally, finds his way to the factory too and rushes into the
room where the captives are, triggering a mechanism that leads to
Matthews being crushed and Hoffman’s electrocution. Rigg also shoots
another man who is in the room, believing him to be Jigsaw’s new
apprentice. However, Hoffman stands up and walks out, leaving Rigg to
die and revealing himself as Jigsaw’s new protege.
Saw V We see Strahm leave the building where Rigg had found Matthews and
Hoffman after escaping from a Jigsaw trap. He believes that Hoffman is
Jigsaw’s new apprentice and begins trying to find proof.
Meanwhile, five new victims are discovered in the film’s big trap.
They are put through several traps, where they lose three of their
number, before arriving at the final test and discovered that all five
were meant to survive all of the tests so they could work together on
the last task. (Phew. Almost confused myself there.) While the last two
manage to escape with their lives, they have suffered a great deal of
pain as their arms were mutilated.
Strahm eventually catches up with Hoffman, who had been planting
evidence to pinpoint Strahm as Jigsaw’s apprentice and the two fight.
Strahm pushes Hoffman into a box filled with glass, which was intended
for himself as part of a test. The glass box then lowers into the ground
while the walls of the room close in and crush Strahm.
Saw VI The last of the series to date was a slight return to form after a
disappointing few efforts and had plenty to say about the state of the
American healthcare system.
William Easton, a health insurance worker, awakes in the film’s big
game. He is forced to work with and against his co-workers, as well as
choose which of them allows to live. Meanwhile, a mother and son are
locked in a cage with a lever labelled “Live” and “Die”. Eventually,
Easton comes along and the pair recognise him as the man who had denied
their late husband/father health insurance. The son, Brent, moves the
lever to the “Die” position, which sees acid being pumped into Easton’s
body.
Elsewhere, Hoffman, who had been watching over Easton’s game, is
ambushed by Jigsaw’s wife Jill. She places him into a trap, insisting
that Jigsaw had asked her to test him. However, despite the trap being
apparently inescapable, Hoffman manages to free himself.
————————————————-
So there you have it! All of the important info you need to know if
you haven’t seen any of these films but still fancy seeing a horror
movie which is not Paranormal Activity 2 this weekend. Saw 3D is likely to see Jill and Hoffman battle over Jigsaw’s legacy and I can’t wait to find out what happens.
Enjoy, gorehounds!
Zombies in the drugstore. Zombies on the roof. IfbradpittangelinajolieWorldWarZin 2014?? Wewait.....
Zombies in the streets and making a mad dash for your windshield Those walking dead pervade nearly every inch of screen of the much-buzzed-about, apocalyptical flick World War Z -- and they provide heart-pounding thrills with each staggered step. PHOTOS: Walking Dead cast -- see what they look like off-screen
Of course, if there's one guy who can stop them, it might as well be Brad Pitt.
He's Gerry, a retired United Nations investigator enjoying a quiet
domestic life in the suburbs until he's summoned back to the job. Seems
millions of people all over the world have become infected with a
mysterious virus that instantly turns them into sinister you-know-whats.
Do a quick IMDB scan of the star's resume and you'll
see that he rarely delves into big-budget summer escapism fare (let's
not count Troy). Yet the steely-eyed actor -- who's pushing 50! -- has
never looked more confident in the hero role as he treks from
Philadelphia to South Korea to Wales trying to stop the bloodbath and
find a vaccine. As one colleague wryly tells him after a near-death
experience, "You're a tough bastard." PHOTOS: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- how their love has evolved
The global chase moves swiftly, with some truly fantastic and
tension-filled set pieces enhancing the drama. In Jerusalem (where
officials have literally sealed off the danger), the bad guys form a
towering ladder and scale a wall as the innocent sing in harmony on the
other side. On a crowded commercial airplane preparing to land, one
barking lap dog leads to terrifying chaos among the passengers. The
scenes feel fresh and authentic.
While Pitt plays sleuth, his worried wife (The Killing's Mireille Enos)
and two cute daughters bide their time on a military base, waiting for
his phone calls. These filler scenes feel like a distraction and seem to
function solely to illustrate his soft family-man side. Audiences might
also pick up on a few disjointed action sequences and form too many
unanswered questions about the ghouls themselves. (Why do they want to
eat their prey anyway? To paraphrase The Princess Bride, are they dead or mostly
dead?). Still, given its reported ballooning costs, production delays
and overhauled third act, it’s impressive that the movie even has a
beginning, middle and end, let alone intelligence between the lines. PHOTOS: Brad's cutest moments with Maddox
Perhaps most impressively, the project rates low on the camp-o-meter.
Save for a wild-eyed doctor loitering in a medical lab, the massacres
and the monsters aren't played for laughs. Heck, Pitt doesn't even fire
off a single zombie-themed zinger. Oh no, better to just let audiences
sit in the dark, paralyzed in a state of fear. Pass the popcorn! World War Z hits theaters Friday, June 21.
Brad Pitt
The son of a trucking company manager, Brad Pitt was born December 18,
1963, in Shawnee, OK. Raised in Missouri as the oldest of three
children, and brought up in a strict Baptist household, Pitt enrolled at
the University of Missouri, following high school graduation, studying
journalism and advertising. However, after discovering his love of
acting, he dropped out of college two credit hours before he could
graduate and moved to Hollywood. Once in California, Pitt took acting
classes and supported himself with a variety of odd jobs that included
chauffeuring strippers to private parties, waiting tables, and wearing a
giant chicken suit for a local restaurant chain. His first break came
when he landed a small recurring role on Dallas, and a part in a
teenage-slasher movie, Cutting Class (1989) (opposite Roddy McDowall),
marked his inauspicious entrance into the world of feature films. The
previous year, Pitt's acting experience had been limited to the TV movie
A Stoning in Fulgham County (1988). 1991 marked the end of Pitt's
obscurity, as it was the year he made his appearance in Thelma &
Louise (1991) as the wickedly charming drifter who seduces Geena Davis
and then robs her blind. After becoming famous practically overnight,
Pitt unfortunately chose to channel his newfound celebrity into Ralph
Bakshi's disastrous animation/live action combo Cool World (1992).
Following this misstep, Pitt took a starring role in director Tom Di
Cillo's independent film Johnny Suede. The film failed to score with
critics or at the box office and Pitt's documented clashes with the
director allegedly inspired Di Cillo to pattern the character of the
vain and egotistical Chad Palomino, in his 1995 Living in Oblivion,
after the actor. Pitt's next venture, Robert Redford's lyrical
fly-fishing drama A River Runs Through It (2002), gave the actor a
much-needed chance to prove that he had talent in addition to physical
appeal.Following his performance in Redford's film, Pitt appeared in
Kalifornia and True Romance (both 1993), two road movies featuring
fallen women and violent sociopaths. Pitt's next major role did not
arrive until early 1994, when he was cast as the lead of the gorgeously
photographed Legends of the Fall. As he did in A River Runs Through It,
Pitt portrayed a free-spirited, strong-willed brother, but this time had
greater opportunity to further develop his enigmatic character. Later
that same year, fans watched in anticipation as Pitt exchanged his
outdoorsy persona for the brooding, gothic posturing of Anne Rice's
tortured vampire Louis in the film adaptation of Interview With the
Vampire. Pitt next starred in the forgettable romantic comedy The Favor
(1994) before going on to play a rookie detective investigating a series
of gruesome crimes opposite Morgan Freeman in Seven (1995). In 1997,
Pitt received a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination for his
portrayal of a visionary mental patient in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys;
the same year, Pitt attempted an Austrian accent and put on a backpack
to play mountaineer Heinrich Harrar in Seven Years in Tibet. The film
met with mixed reviews and generated a fair amount of controversy,
thanks in part to the revelation that the real-life Harrar had in fact
been a Nazi. Following Tibet, Pitt traveled in a less inflammatory
direction with Alan J. Pakula's The Devil's Own, in which he starred
with fellow screen icon Harrison Ford. Despite this seemingly faultless
pairing, the film was a relative critical and box-office failure. In
1998, Pitt tried his hand at romantic drama, portraying Death in Meet
Joe Black, the most expensive non-special effects film ever made. Pitt's
penchant for quirk was prevalent with his cameo in the surreal comic
fantasy Being John Malkovich (1999) and carried over into his role as
Tyler Durden, the mysterious and anti-materialistic soap salesman in
David Fincher's controversial Fight Club the same year. The odd
characterizations didn't let up with his appearance as the audibly
indecipherable pugilist in Guy Ritchie's eagerly anticipated follow-up
to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch (2000).In July of 2000,
the man voted "Most Sexy Actor Alive" by virtually every entertainment
publication currently in circulation crushed the hearts of millions of
adoring female fans when he wed popular film and television actress
Jennifer Aniston in a relatively modest (at least by Hollywood
standards) and intimate service.Pitt's next turn on the big screen found
him re-teamed with Robert Redford, this time sharing the screen with
the A River Runs Through It director in the espionage thriller Spy Game
(2001). A fairly retro-straight-laced role for an actor who had become
identified with his increasingly eccentric roles, he was soon cast in
Steven Soderbergh's remake of the Rat Pack classic Ocean's 11 (2001),
the tale of a group of criminals who plot to rob a string of casinos.
Following a decidedly busy 2001 that also included a lead role opposite
Julia Roberts in the romantic crime-comedy The Mexican, Pitt was
virtually absent from the big-screen over the next three years. After
walking away from the ambitious and troubled Darren Aronofsky production
The Fountain, he popped up for a very brief cameo in pal George
Clooney's 2002 directorial debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and
lent his voice to the animated adventure Sinbad: Legend of the Seven
Seas, but spent the majority of his time working on the historical epic
Troy (2004). Directed by Wolfgang Peterson, the film employed a huge
cast, crew and budget.The media engulfed Pitt's next screen role with
tabloid fervor, as it cast him opposite bombshell Angelina Jolie. While
the comedic actioner Mr. and Mrs. Smith grossed dollar one at the box
office, the stars' off-camera relationship that made some of 2005's
biggest headlines. Before long, Pitt had split from his wife Jennifer
Aniston and adopted Jolie's two children. The family expanded to three
in 2006 with the birth of the couple's first child, to four in 2007 with
the adoption of a Vietnamese boy, and finally to six in 2008, with the
birth of fraternal twins.In addition to increasing his family in 2006,
Pitt also padded his filmography as a producer on a number of projects,
including Martin Scorsese's The Departed, the Best Picture Winner for
2006. He also acted opposite Cate Blanchett in Alejandro Gonzalez
Inarritu's drama Babel. Interestingly, that film hit theaters the same
year as The Fountain, a film that was originally set to star the duo.
Pitt also stayed busy as an actor, reteaming with many familiar
on-screen pals for Ocean's Thirteen. At about the same time, Pitt teamed
up with Ridley Scott to co-produce a period western, The Assassination
of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford; Pitt also stars in the film,
as James. The year 2007 found Pitt involved, simultaneously, in a number
of increasingly intelligent and distinguished projects. He signed on to
reteam with David Fincher for the first occasion since Fight Club, with
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - a bittersweet fantasy, adapted by
Forrest Gump scribe Eric Roth from an F. Scott Fitzgerald story, about a
man who falls in love while he is aging in reverse. When the special
effects heavy film hit theaters in time for awards season in 2008, Pitt
garnered a Best Actor nomination from both the Academy and the Screen
Actors Guild. Also in 2007, Pitt produced an adaptation of Marianne
Pearl's memoir A Mighty Heart that starred Angelina Jolie. In the years
that followed, Pitt remained supremely busy. He delivered a funny lead
performance as Lt. Aldo Raine in Quentin Tarantino's blistering World
War II saga Inglourious Basterds (2009), then did some of the most
highly-praised work of his career as a disciplinarian father in Terence
Malick's The Tree of Life (2011) - a sprawling, cerebral phantasmorgia
on the meaning of life and death that became one of the critical
sensations of the year. He also won a great deal of praise for his turn
as Billy Beane in Bennett Miller's adaptation of the non-fiction book
Moneyball, a role that not only earned him critical raves but Best Actor
nominations from the Academy, BAFTA, the Broadcast Film Association,
the Golden Globes, and won him the New York Film Critics Circle award
(though the institution also recognized his work in Tree of Life as
figuring into their decision). ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi
