'Brokeback' leads SAG film noms
By DAVID GERMAIN
Screen Actors Guild award nominees
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The cowboy love story Brokeback Mountain led nominees
Thursday for film prizes from actors and directors unions, including
performers Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal and filmmaker
Ang Lee.
Brokeback Mountain earned four Screen Actors Guild nominations: lead actor
for Ledger and supporting actor for Gyllenhaal, who play old shepherding
buddies concealing their homosexual affair from their families; supporting
actress for Williams, who plays Ledger's wife; and best overall performance
by its entire cast.
Lee, whose films include Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hulk, was among
best-filmmaker nominees by the Directors Guild of America. Other directing
nominees were George Clooney for the Edward R. Murrow tale Good Night, and
Good Luck; Paul Haggis for the ensemble drama Crash; Bennett Miller for the
Truman Capote story Capote; and Steven Spielberg for Munich, a thriller
centred on the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics.
Clooney also earned a supporting-actor nominee from SAG for his role as an
undercover CIA agent in the oil-industry thriller Syriana.
Along with Brokeback Mountain, SAG nominations for best film cast went to
Capote, Crash, Good Night and Good Luck, and Hustle & Flow, the story of a
pimp and drug dealer forging a career as a rap singer.
Joining Ledger in the lead-actor category were Philip Seymour Hoffman as
author Capote in Capote; Russell Crowe as Depression-era boxer Jim Braddock
in Cinderella Man; Joaquin Phoenix as singer Johnny Cash in Walk the Line;
and David Strathairn as newsman Murrow in Good Night and Good Luck.
Lead-actress nominees were Judi Dench as a society dame who starts a nude
stage revue in 1930s London in Mrs. Henderson Presents; Felicity Huffman in
a gender-bending role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in
Transamerica; Charlize Theron as a woman leading a sexual-harassment lawsuit
at a mining company in North Country; Reese Witherspoon as Cash's soulmate
and eventual wife, June Carter, in Walk the Line; and Ziyi Zhang as a poor
girl who becomes a belle of Japan in Memoirs of a Geisha.
Huffman also was nominated for best actress in a TV comedy series for
Desperate Housewives, a role that earned her an Emmy last year.
Desperate Housewives co-stars Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria,
who along with Huffman took four of the five TV musical or comedy
nominations at the upcoming Golden Globes, all were shut out for guild
nominations. The show's entire cast was honoured with a nomination for
comedy ensemble, along with Arrested Development, Boston Legal, Curb Your
Enthusiasm, Everybody Loves Raymond and My Name Is Earl.
Nominated for TV drama ensemble were The Closer, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Six
Feet Under and The West Wing.
Policeman roles in Crash - Don Cheadle as a devoted detective, Matt Dillon
as a racist beat cop - earned them supporting-actor nominations. Along with
Gyllenhaal and Clooney, the other nominee was Paul Giamatti as boxer
Braddock's manager in Cinderella Man.
Joining Williams as supporting-actress nominees were Amy Adams as a southern
waif in the comic drama Junebug; Catherine Keener as Capote pal Harper Lee,
author of To Kill a Mockingbird, in Capote; Frances McDormand as an ailing
miner in North Country; and Rachel Weisz as a slain humanitarian-aid worker
in The Constant Gardener.
SAG awards will be presented Jan. 29 in a ceremony televised on TNT and TBS.
The Directors Guild will present its awards Jan. 30. -

"They're trying to work it out."
The pair has a six-year-old son named Clyde.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/338821p-289317c.html
This year's fall and winter movie season looks fantastic.
That doesn't mean it's going to be particularly good, just that there
are so many ... fantasies.
There are children's fantasies like "Zathura" and "The Chronicles of
Narnia"; gravity-defying fantasies like "The Legend of Zorro" and "Aeon
Flux"; the animated fantasies "Chicken Little," "Tim Burton's Corpse
Bride" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit"; sci-fi
adventures "Serenity," "Doom" and "A Sound of Thunder"; the fourth
Harry Potter movie, and Peter Jackson's remake of the ultimate
fantasy-adventure, "King Kong."
We begin our preview at the end of August, but the string of fantasies
gets an early start on Friday with Terry Gilliam's galloping "The
Brothers Grimm," which has more references to classic fairy tale
characters than all the other coming fantasies combined.
Some analysts may attribute the rash of fantasy films to the escapism
that comes with war, and that may play a role. But it seems just as
likely that fantasy reigns because the ability to create incredible
images today makes the genre irresistible to storytellers.
The trailers for all of the above movies are linked on the Web sites
www.apple.com/trailers and www.imdb.com. Take a look and you'll agree:
They look fantastic.
Fall/winter is also Oscar season, and there are plenty of potential
contenders. The high-profile films with awards ambitions include Steven
Spielberg's "Munich," a drama based on the search for the planners of
the assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games; Rob
Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha," based on Arthur Golden's acclaimed
novel about a woman who spends her life in the high art of pleasing,
and Terrence Malick's "The New World," an epic account of the first
Virginia colony and the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas.
Recent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski returns with a new version
of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," and Marc Forster'>Marc Forster ("Finding
Neverland") turns to drama with "Stay," the story of a psychiatrist's
efforts to stop a patient from carrying out a suicide threat.
Two Broadway musicals make the transition to the screen. Susan Stroman,
who directed "The Producers" on stage, handles the film adaptation as
well, while Chris Columbus directs "Rent."
A few laughs
Comedies abound. Among them are: "Rumor Has It," starring Jennifer
Aniston as a female version of "The Graduate's" Benjamin Braddock; "The
Man," a buddy film featuring unlikely chemistry between Samuel L.
Jackson and Eugene Levy; "The Weather Man," starring Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage as a
TV weather guy who wears his bad forecasts on his shoulders, and a pair
of old-fashioned family films about families that are too big - "Yours,
Mine, and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2."
The following schedule may have changed by the time the ink was dry on
this newspaper. But the great majority of films listed are locked in to
those dates.

his son. Can her preteen daughter unite them, or will she become just
another wedge in their long-simmering enmity? More important, will
Lopez benefit from a boost in her lukewarm screen career, or has the

Reese Witherspoon in a romantic fantasy about a young man and the
spirit of a comatose doctor who fall in love while sharing an
apartment. Once they're over their, uh, dimensional differences, the
race is on to keep her body from being taken off life support.
Proof Last time director John Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow worked
together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate
than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's
Pulitzer Prize-winning play might just catch the eyes of Academy's
voters, too. Reprising a role she has already tackled on the London
stage, Paltrow plays an overwhelmed young woman rapidly losing her grip
after the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant math
professor. Hovering around the edges are her concerned support system:
brainy admirer Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and coldly practical sister Hope Davis.
The Woods Psychological horror film about the students of an all-girl
boarding school who begin to go missing in the surrounding woods.
Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress and Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner is the new
student caught up in the mystery.
Separate Lies It's been a while since we were faced with the sight of
middle-class Brits keeping a stiff upper lip while suppressing
dangerous secrets. Fortunately, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are
always willing to suffer stoically for our entertainment. "Gosford
Park" screenwriter Julian Fellowes makes his directorial debut, while
Watson and Wilkinson play a long-married couple who are still quite
happy together (aside from the passionate affair and possible homicide
she's hiding).
Venom Jim Gillespie ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") directs another
teens-in-trouble horror picture, this one involving voodoo in the
bayous of Louisiana. With Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner (poor thing), Bijou Phillips.
The Libertine Johnny Depp takes on the role of notorious 17th-century
poet, derelict and debaucher John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester and
grand embarrassment of Charles II (John Malkovich). Samantha Morton is
the actress who comes under Wilmot's shaky tutelage.
Adapted from his play by Stephen Jeffreys and directed by first-timer
Laurence Dunmore.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Another day, another Johnny Depp-Tim Burton
collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have
given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since
Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant
Peach" are among them, we have high hopes for this latest stop-motion
animated fantasy, which is based on an old Russian folk tale about a
young groom (voiced by Depp) who inadvertently finds himself with two
wives (he could do worse than Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson).
Thumbsucker Offbeat comedy about a 17-year-old boy whose infantile
habit of sucking his thumb makes him the subject of ridicule and
isolation even in his own home. But the people trying to help him kick
the habit are even stranger. With Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio,
Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn. It's the first feature directed by Mike
Mills, maker of the well-received short "Paperboys."
Everything Is Illuminated Actor Liev Schreiber makes his writing and
directing debut with his adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's darkly
comic best seller about a young American Jew who travels to Russia to
find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. With Elijah
Wood.
One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern
Documentary about the 1972 presidential campaign and political
humiliation of the idealistic former South Dakota senator.
Cry Wolf A high-school prank turns lethal when classmates listed on a
joke Web site as the next victims of a serial killer start turning up
dead. With Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jon Bon Jovi.
Hard Goodbyes: My Father Greek drama about a lonely boy who has to rely
on his imagination when the father with whom he'd shared a passion for
outer space does not come home.
The Thing About My Folks Paul Reiser wrote this film and co-stars in it
with Peter Falk as a son and father rediscovering the bond between them
on a cross-country trip in a restored '36 Ford. Directed by Raymond De
Felitta ("Two Family House").
The Weeping Meadow The first film in a planned trilogy by Greek master
Theo Angelopoulos follows a pair of refugee children as they come of
age in the small Greek village they are brought to after the Russian
Revolution.
SEPT. 23
A History of Violence With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock's "wrong man"
theme and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs," David Cronenberg's latest film
stars Viggo Mortensen as a small-town family man whose celebrated
heroism in thwarting and killing two thugs in his diner draws gangsters
to town. The one with the deformed face (Ed Harris) claims he knew the
hero years before and he has come for some payback. Despite his
denials, Mortensen's character ends up having to fight violence with
violence. With Maria Bello, William Hurt.
Oliver Twist If ever there were a story that suited Roman Polanski's
dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan
whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was
written by Ronald Harwood, Polanski's partner on their Oscar-winning
"Pianist," so it is always possible that this artistically acclaimed
pair aims to entertain adults and youngsters alike, while
simultaneously approaching the Academy with a respectful request: "May
we have some more?" With Barney Clark as Oliver, Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley as Fagin
and Jamie Foreman as Bill Sykes.
Flightplan In her first starring role in three years, Jodie Foster
plays a recently widowed woman whose 6-year-old daughter disappears in
the middle of a trans-continental flight from Berlin to New York. Since
no one else on the plane remembers seeing the girl, they question
whether she was there only in her mother's mind.
Daltry Calhoun Johnny Knoxville returns to his hometown as a roustabout
and would-be golf magnate whose ex-wife (Elizabeth Banks) throws a
twist into his life by dropping their 14-year-old daughter at his door.
Roll Bounce Nick Cannon, Bow Wow and Mike Epps star for "The Best Man"
director Malcolm D. Lee in this comedy-drama about a group of hip-hop
roller skaters preparing for a competition on the other side of 1970s
Chicago.
Dear Wendy Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, two of the founders of
the Danish film collective Dogme 95, team up as writer (von Trier) and
director (Vinterberg) of this parable about America's contradictory gun
culture. It follows a group of teenage outcasts in a fictional mining
town who form a secret club known as "The Dandies." Their purpose -
to love and admire guns but never use them on anybody - soon goes out
the window.
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D Tom Hanks produced and
narrates this 3-D IMAX film that re-creates for the audience what the
12 astronauts who have walked on the moon experienced.
Into the Fire Drama about a troubled NYPD harbor cop who freezes during
a rescue attempt of a drowning woman and tries to make peace with his
conscience and the victim's identical twin. With Sean Patrick Flanery
and Melina Kanakaredes from TV's "Providence."
Dorian Blues Coming-out story about a young man who, on the cusp of
moving to New York, begins showing his preference for men, much to the
dismay of his right-wing father and his jock brother.
7 Dias Mexican film about a U2 super fan determined to raise the
half-million dollars it would cost to bring the band to his country.
Dirty Love Jenny McCarthy wrote this comedy and co-stars in it with
Carmen Electra. It's about a jilted woman who sees a psychic to find
out where she should search for true love.
Occupation: Dreamland Documentary focusing on the men of the 82nd
Airborne in Iraq and on the Army's recruitment tactics.
SEPT. 28
Forty Shades of Blue Rip Torn plays a legendary (and doesn't he know
it) Memphis music producer whose comfy existence is shaken when his
young Russian trophy wife (Dina Korzun) falls in love with his
estranged son.
SEPT. 30
Capote The estimable Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the late novelist and
social gadfly Truman Capote. It's not a conventional biopic, but an
account of the writer's research for "In Cold Blood," his classic
"nonfiction novel" about the murders of a Kansas farm family and the
subsequent trials and executions of their killers. Catherine Keener is
Harper Lee, Capote's young associate (and future author of "To Kill a
Mockingbird") and Clifton Collins Jr. plays the killer Perry Smith,
with whom Capote developed a strong relationship. Bennett Miller is the
first-time director.
The Greatest Game Ever Played Shia LaBeouf ("Holes") stars for director
Bill Paxton in the dramatization of 20-year-old American amateur golfer
Francis Ouimet's legendary victory at the 1913 U.S. Open in Brookline,
Mass. Stephen Dillane plays Harry Vardon, the cocky British champion
who was humbled before the golfing world.
Into the Blue "Blue Crush" director John Stockwell goes back to the
water for this thriller about a group of buff young divers who find a
fortune in the cargo bay of a sunken airplane and make the mistake of
keeping it. With Paul Walker and Jessica Alba.
MirrorMask British fantasy about a 15-year-old circus entertainer whose
guilt over her mother's illness sends her into an alternative universe
of contrasting light and dark kingdoms.
Serenity Feature-length finale to Joss Whedon's 13-episode sci-fi TV
series "Firefly," about a group of adventurers aboard a space
transporter 500 years in the future. Here, Capt. Mal Reynolds (Nathan
Fillion) and his crew are being chased by the galaxy-ruling Alliance,
which wants to reclaim the telepathic fugitive River (Summer Glau)
traveling with them.
Little Manhattan Mark Levin, a story editor for "The Wonder Years,"

Goodnight, and Good Luck This drama, directed by George Clooney, is
built around the public fight between legendary broadcast journalist
Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. In the
1950s, McCarthy was the most visible member of the witch-hunting House
UnAmerican Activities Committee, which destroyed the careers of
innocent people from all walks of life by associating them with
Communists. Murrow led the reaction to McCarthy and got labeled a
Communist for his trouble. CBS News stuck with Murrow despite the
pressure, and McCarthy's power began to fade. Clooney co-stars as CBS

chief, William Paley.

Gromit make their feature debut in a comedy about a mysterious monster

Bee Season Fans of Myla Goldberg's best seller ought to be happy with
the team behind this adaptation: Directors Scott McGehee and David
Siegel did a nice job exploring family tensions in "The Deep End." And
if any actor can handle the story's spiritual twists and turns, it's
surely the Dalai Lama's No. 1 fan, Richard Gere. He plays a theology

you thought there was room for only one series of CGI-heavy epics made

well by C.S. Lewis as Peter Jackson did by J.R.R. Tolkien remains to be

King Kong Why, you ask, do we need another version of the 1933 classic?
Because the 1976 remake with Jessica Lange was awful and the special
effects in the black-and-white original are a bit too rudimentary for

film is faithful to the Depression period and to the original story.

Where are all the real leading men?
While American leading men look like boys, those foreign imports are all men
You can have Tobey Maguire, we'll take Hugh Jackman.
COMMENTARY
By Tara Ariano
MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR
Nov. 11 - For discerning adult women (and adult gay men) who enjoy
developing pointless yet very serious crushes on good-looking celebrities,
today's wussy American pretty-boys just don't get the job done.
KIERAN CULKIN? Maybe we'll be interested when his voice changes. Chad
Michael Murray? He should probably finish high school before we pay any
attention to him. Even Keanu Reeves - who we realize is almost forty years
old - tried to convince us in "The Matrix Reloaded" that he was a grown-up
man, getting down with a grown-up lady, but he was so smooth and hairless
that he barely evinced any secondary sex characteristics.
In the U.S., such a premium is placed on youth - and so many media
products are targeted at the once-again suddenly hot 'tween market - that
grown-up ladies tend to have to look overseas for unattainable new objects
of lust. Fortunately, other countries are busily exporting plenty of rugged,
masculine beefcake to fill the vacuum, and to fill existing niches with
burlier alternatives.
1. COMIC-BOOK SUPERHERO
(MARVEL COMICS):
TOBEY MAGUIRE VS. HUGH JACKMAN
Admittedly, Spider-Man is not the most butch hero in the comic-book
pantheon; he's slight and sensitive - he's a photographer! His powers run
toward acrobatic moves that rely more on his whippet-like build than on
sheer strength. Still, playing the title role in last year's blockbuster
"Spider-Man," Tobey Maguire was very, very boyish - so boyish, in fact, that
he didn't even look like he would ever needed to shave even the least hint
of peach fuzz off his cheeks. (Maybe his Spidey mask was lined with some
kind of depilatory?)
At the other end of the Marvel spectrum is Australian Hugh Jackman,
who plays Wolverine in the "X-Men" movies - he of the gigantic muttonchops,
pointy hairdo, and foot-long metal claws. Jackman has wisely put together a
résumé guaranteed to attract a huge female following: soppy romantic
comedies ("Kate & Leopold," "Someone Like You") and girl-friendly actioners
that require him to wear a lot of tank tops, tight jeans, and hair (the
aforementioned "X-Men"). All this, and he sings (in Broadway's "The Boy From
Oz"). Tobey Maguire is still a little slip of a Wonder Boy, whereas Hugh
Jackman is all man.and has the remarkable body hair to prove it.
2. COMIC-BOOK SUPERHERO
(DC COMICS):
TOM WELLING VS. CHRISTIAN BALE
Since 2001, Tom Welling has played Clark Kent (a.k.a. Kal-El of
Krypton, a.k.a. Superman) in The WB teen drama "Smallville." As with Tobey
Maguire's Spider-Man, we meet this superhero when he's still in his
adolescence, trying out his disturbing new powers in a way we are meant to
think of as analogous to those that every pubescent boy discovers.if you
catch my drift. So, fine, Clark is still in high school; he is a boy. But
Tom Welling - a former model - is beyond boyish. His skin is so golden and
his lips so pouty that he's practically a girl.
