Bruce Willis takes on hairy subjects
By LOUIS B. HOBSON - Calgary Sun
NEW YORK - It's not easy being Bruce Willis. Magazines print unflattering
stories and pictures of you.
Critics take delight in ripping your films to shreds. The paparazzi seem to
be on your trail night and day waiting for you to do something sensational.
People can't seem to learn enough about your private life. You want to do
great character roles but fans keep asking when you'll do Die Hard 4.
You've found it necessary to team up with rapper Mos Def to attract
audiences to your latest film, 16 Blocks because you failed to get them in
when you went solo for Hostage. Instead of asking about character
motivation, interviewers want to know what motivates you to wear a hairpiece
or go bald for a film.
Those $22-million-a-flick paydays are well in the past. You turned 50 last
year. Hair pieces are a hairy subject with Willis as he sports one as Jack
Mosley in 16 Blocks, his chase drama that opens Friday.
Mosley is a New York City cop assigned to escort small time career criminal
Eddie Bunker 16 blocks from the jail to the courthouse for a hearing. What
Mosley doesn't know is that Bunker is supposed to rat on several corrupt
cops in Mosley's division.
"I looked at that thinning hair thing Richard Wenk, who wrote 16 Blocks, had
going and I liked it. I thought it made a statement. I thought I could use
the look for Mosley," says Willis.
But wait. He's not finished by a long shot. The question has obviously hit a
nerve. "I've seen all those little digs where they try to make you feel less
of a man because you're losing your hair. I'm a man and I will kick anyone's
butt who tries to tell me I'm not a man because my hair is thinning and I
like fooling around with looking different ways. I wear makeup in films. I
wear hairpieces in films. I don't wear either in real life. End of subject."
Willis gets humble for a moment when he admits "it's hard to stick around in
this business. I always thought my best work would come in the years between
40 and 60 if I was fortunate enough to hang around."
Try to hint Willis may be lucky career wise but not in love.
His former wife Demi Moore married Ashton Kutcher, 22 years his junior.
Willis was at the wedding. Willis has been seen with Moore, Kutcher and
Willis' three daughters by Moore.
"Demi and I actually get a lot of compliments on how we have handled the
divorce and the raising of our daughters. An actor friend of mine who stayed
at the same resort all of us were at over the Christmas holidays took it one
step farther. He saw me, Demi, Ashton and the girls eating dinner. He called
it evolution. That was a great compliment. I'll take the credit for living
in a way that's best for my children."
Willis says he owes it to his daughters to be there for them because "having
those girls changed my life for the best. "Before I had my children, I was
always just thinking about myself. It was just all me. It was just my world.
When I had my first daughter (Rumor)who is now a young woman suddenly
everything else but her seemed stupid. From that first moment I have loved
being a dad and loved it more with each new daughter. I'm prouder of being a
dad than of any film I've ever done."

Best flicks for 2006
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
A look at movies in '06
Enough already with the griping. It's official. Movie attendance in 2005 was
the worst in almost a decade.
Some film analysts blame the slump on the DVD industry.
A poll conducted by Ipso for The Associated Press and AOL News in July
revealed 73% of adults say they prefer watching movies at home on DVD,
videotape or pay-per-view.
Even more disheartening for the studios is the finding that 47% surveyed in
the poll feel movies are getting worse and therefore do not warrant
viewing -- especially at today's ticket prices.
Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, sides with disgruntled
viewers.
"The 2005 slump in movie attendance is product-driven which, to me, is a
much less chilling problem than some sort of cultural shift in people's
moviegoing habits. People will make the effort to see a good film."
George Lucas, who produced and directed this year's top box-office movie
Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, agrees wholeheartedly with
Dergarabedian.
Lucas insists "going to the movies is a social event, like going to a
football game, like going to the ballet, like going to a play.
"Attending movies is something you do to be social with other people. I
don't think that's ever going to go away."
In order to drag people away from their TVs, filmmakers are obliged to
improve both the quality and the accessibility of their films.
With this in mind, here's a glimpse of 20 of the more than 500 films slated
for release in 2006. The most that can be said for any of them at this point
is, on paper, they're among the most interesting of the offerings. Some
release dates are tentative:
TRISTAN & ISOLDE (Fox/Jan. 13):
Before Romeo and Juliet, there were the tragic star-crossed lovers Tristan
and Isolde. Tristan (James Franco) was a young knight who fell in love with
the married future queen of England (Sophia Myles.) It promises to be a big,
lush, romantic drama.
THE PINK PANTHER (Sony/Feb. 10):
Steve Martin steps into the giant-sized shoes of Peter Sellers to play
bumbling French detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau. It's being billed as a
prequel to Seller's 1964 classic, with Clouseau having to solve the
mysterious death of a soccer coach and discover who stole the famous Pink
Panther diamond. The entertainment world will be watching to see if Martin
can pull this one off.
EIGHT BELOW (Disney/Feb. 17):
No one does fact-based animal stories better than Disney and here comes one
about eight husky sled dogs marooned during an Antarctic winter. This one
looks enough like the Disney classic The Incredible Journey to make it a
hit.
BASIC INSTINCT 2: RISK ADDICTION (Sony/March 31):
Sharon Stone's ice pick wielding seductress is back and this time it's David
Morrissey's psychiatrist who gets lured into her dangerous sex games. Call
it pure guilty pleasure, but the thought of Stone back to her old tricks is
likely enough of a hook to get people into multiplexes.
ICE AGE 2: THE MELTDOWN (Fox/March 31):
Scrat and his acorn are back to wreak more havoc. In tow are Manfred the
laconic Wooly Mammoth, Sid the motor-mouthed sloth and the villainous Diego,
the Sabre-toothed tiger. If this one is half as delightful as it
predecessor, it deserves to be a hit.
mission IMPOSSIBLE III
(Paramount/May 5):
Fresh from saving the world from Martians in last year's War of the Worlds,
Tom Cruise prepares to tackle international terrorists as rogue agent Ethan
Hunt. The release is timed to coincide with the birth of Cruise's first
biological child, so he should grab every magazine cover in the world for
this one.
THE DA VINCI CODE (Sony/May 19):
Many readers confused Dan Brown's fiction bestseller for fact, something Ron
Howard insists he won't do in the film. Tom Hanks stumbles upon a secret
sect whose belief Christ fathered children could shake the foundations of
Christianity. Controversy plus eager fans should make this one a hot ticket.
X-MEN 3 (Fox/May 26):
The mutants are back, but this time around there is a possible cure to treat
them. Brett Ratner is directing instead of Bryan Singer, but the good news
is Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn, Patrick Stewart and Ian
McKellen are all back, joined by Kelsey Grammer and Shohreh Aghdashloo. We
can only hope lightning strikes three times, let alone twice.
THE BREAK UP (Universal/June 2):
With Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughn had one of the biggest grossing films of
2005, so expectations run high for this romantic comedy. It also helps that
Vaughn and costar Jennifer Aniston started an off-screen relationship while
filming this one in Chicago. We'll all be watching to see if they can create
as many sparks as Aniston's ex, Brad Pitt, did with Angelina Jolie in Mr. &
Mrs. Smith.
THE OMEN 666 (Fox/June 6):
This is a remake of the 1976 horror classic that spawned three sequels. Liev
Schreiber and Julia Styles play the American couple who discover the child
they adopted might just be the devil's spawn. In a brilliant piece of stunt
casting, Mia Farrow, who played the mother of Satan's child in Rosemary's
Baby, plays the nanny who knows the child's real origins.
CARS (Disney/June 9):
The creative geniuses at Pixar who turned talking toys, retired superheroes
and monsters into box-office superstars, are at it again. This time they
invest cars and all their cousins with humanity as well as voices.
SUPERMAN RETURNS (Warners/June 30):
The Man of Steel, now played by newcomer Brandon Routh, has been hanging out
on the planet Krypton. When his arch enemy Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) starts
causing havoc, Superman returns to Earth to battle evil and court the lovely
Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Warners is hoping this is the beginning of a new
Superman franchise.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD'S MAN'S CHEST
(Disney/July 7):
Those nasty sea phantoms insist Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) owes them his
soul, so Jack has to find a way to win it back or spend eternity haunting
the seas. Back in 2003, the original Pirates of the Caribbean filled
Disney's treasure troves with $654 million, turned Depp into a box-office
superstar and won him an Oscar nomination.
LADY IN THE WATER (Warners/July 21):
M. Night Shyamalan scored with thrillers like The Sixth Sense and Signs, but
found audiences and critics slipping away with The Village. His newest
supernatural thriller has humans teaming up with a water nymph to save all
their lives and souls from demons intent on destruction.
MIAMI VICE (Universal/July 28):
Last year's crop of big-screen versions of vintage TV shows were major
critical and box-office disappointments, but this one is actually promising.
Michael Mann, who created the original TV series, wrote and directed this
film with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx as renegade vice detectives Crockett
and Tubbs. Mann has set the story in modern-day Miami.
MARIE ANTOINETTE (Sony/Oct. 13):
Sofia Coppola wrote and directed this costume drama that stars Kirsten Dunst
as the Austrian princess who became Queen of France when she was just a
teenager. Jason Schwartzman plays her indifferent husband, Louis XVI, with
Rip Torn, Judy Davis and Marianne Faithful filling out the supporting cast.
Coppola scored a major triumph with Lost in Translation.
FLUSHED AWAY (Paramount/Nov. 3):
The folks at Aardman Animations, who brought us 2000's Chicken Run and last
year's Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, bring us this tale
of a society rat (Hugh Jackman) who gets flushed down the toilet of his
upscale apartment and falls in love with an adventurous beauty (Kate
Winslet). It looks like a cross between Romeo & Juliet and Pirates of The
Caribbean.
CASINO ROYALE (Sony/Nov. 17):
Daniel Craig takes over as James Bond, with Martin Campbell directing. Bond
matches wits and gadgets with Monsieur Le Chiffre, a French gangster who
uses the profits from his casino to fund terrorists. Considering the film
hasn't been fully cast and cameras have yet to start rolling, this one could
find itself bumped to 2007.
CHARLOTTE'S WEB (Paramount/Dec. 20):
This children's classic about a spider who saves the life of a pig will
combine live action with animation. Dakota Fanning plays Fern, who helps
Charlotte the spider (voice from Julia Roberts) spin a tale of friendship
and sacrifice. Though it's no Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia,
Charlotte's Web has a huge fan base among youngsters and their parents.
DREAMGIRLS (Paramount/Dec. 22):
The box-office and critical success of Chicago and Moulin Rouge has
producers eying Broadway for more stage musicals to turn into movies. This
one, loosely based on the career of The Supremes, will star Beyonce Knowles,
Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Mos Def and Danny Glover.
Considering the poor response for Phantom of the Opera, Rent and The
Producers, this one could be a hard sell even with such a stellar cast.
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES
(Warners/Fall):
Warners has yet to announce a release date for this western filmed in
Alberta last summer, but it is likely to be a fall release, setting it up
for the kind of attention Brokeback Mountain has been receiving. This one
stars Brad Pitt as the famous outlaw and Casey Affleck as the friend who
turned assassin and killed him.

NY DAILY NEWS...RUSH AND MOLLOY
Lenny Kravitz knows what's good on the menu at Mr. Chow - and, on
Wednesday night, it was Alicia Keys. The strapping soul man looked like
he wanted to wrap the hazel-eyed Hell's Kitchen delicacy in a moo shu
pancake and devour her as they sat side by side in a booth at the E.
57th St. celebreteria.
Popping morsels into his mouth was all Alicia could do to keep him at
bay.
Yes, there were others at their table. But, laughing and talking to
each other, the two gorgeous Grammy winners seemed, at times, to barely
notice them.
Keys' spokesman described Kravitz as a "friend" of the singer. The rep
declined to say whether she was still dating Kerry Brothers, Alicia's
partner in her production company, Krucial Keys.
Keys would certainly fit nicely into Kravitz's collection of famous
girlfriends, who include Nicole Kidman, Kylie Minogue, Adriana Lima and
Vanessa Paradis.
Professionally, Keys has surrounded herself with some other talented
guys while cutting her "Unplugged" album. Common, Mos Def and Adam
Levine all chime in on the acoustic set she did for MTV, which airs
tonight.
