Clint Eastwood Becomes a Changeling

Clint Eastwood at the 2008 New York press day for “The Changeling.” Clint Eastwood Becomes a Changeling by Brad Balfour An avowed Republican in Hollywood is nearly as rare as the giant Comodo Dragon — and they’ve had the spiteful bite of one as well. But with Barack Obama’s victory, they’ve made themselves pretty scarce since election day. Hell, even a straight-shooting, no bullshitter like Clint Eastwood — long known as a registered Republican who supported Richard Nixon’s

Angelina Jolie Speaks From A Mighty Heart

Angelina Jolie stars in “A Mighty Heart.” Angelina Jolie Speaks From A Mighty Heart by Brad Balfour When A Mighty Heart was about to be released, some members of Angelina Jolie’s camp decided to limit her press exposure. Since this film was about a courageous journalist who is kidnapped and beheaded by Al Qaeda members in Pakistan, the press had a bad reaction to efforts to control them through a restrictive release form — ironic for a story about a journalist’s fatal effort

Ray Winstone Becomes Incredibly Transformed Into Beowulf

Ray Winstone at the NY press day for “Beowulf.” RAY WINSTONE BECOMES INCREDIBLY TRANSFORMED INTO BEOWULF by Brad Balfour With his gruff, hardened voice, and a face that shows the scars from his early years as a boxer, 50 year-old Londoner Ray Winstone hardly seemed like the perfect choice to play the Adonis-like, all-conquering Norse hero Beowulf. But thanks to Robert Zemeckis and his love of motion-capture animation, Winstone gets transformed in this flawed hero through the

James Mangold – A Director Walks the Fine Line Towards the Oscars

James Mangold and Joaquin Phoenix on the set of “Walk the Line.” James Mangold A Director Walks the Fine Line Towards the Oscars by Brad Balfour Throughout his career, New York-born director James Mangold has offered an uncanny look at relationships since his first film Heavy, whether it be with cops (Cop Land), women (Girl, Interrupted), or a couple (Kate and Leopold). Now, with his latest, Walk the Line, he again examines a couple – but in this case, a near-mythic one – the

Billy Bob Thornton Gets on Base with Bad News Bears

Billy Bob Thornton in “The Bad News Bears.” Billy Bob Thornton Gets on Base with Bad News Bears By Brad Balfour Lately actor/director Billy Bob Thorton has been grabbing the spotlight for films that aren’t obviously styled as the mature dramatic hits he starred in before—films such as the hard-hitting and provocative (and award-winning) Monster’s Ball and Sling Blade (for which he won a screenwriting Oscar).
