Cate Blanchett is reportedly stepping into Sienna Miller’s role as Maid Marian in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood project Nottingham starring Russell Crowe.

Rumors about why Sienna was let go from the production have ranged from the gross juxtaposition of her with tubby, hairy, aging Crowe to her craptastic acting, depending on which report you believe.

We believe that Sienna sucks and any movie without her is better for it.

We don't think we're a dumb person. We're educated, well traveled, our IQ has been tested in the 95th percentile, but Endgame just went entirely over our head.

In fact, it was 47 minutes into the film before we were able to deduce what the film was about...but even then we only got the gist.

What Endgame needs is one of those wonderful opening title card sequences a la Star Wars. You know a "Here in this land at this time" situation to get everyone on the same page from the jump.

Not since the days of Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford, not Ben Affleck) has there been a film that blended political espionage with cat and mouse thrills as adeptly as Body of Lies.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the film marks his fourth endeavor with Russell Crowe. Their relationship has moved beyond bromance, they are now a muse for one another.

Guns, gangsters and Guy Ritchie: three G’s that guarantee a good time.

After Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, you know to expect when you buy a ticket to a Guy Ritchie film (if we politely ignore that whole Swept Away debacle) and he doesn’t disappoint. RocknRolla is a flashy, violent, hard driving dive into an unexpected seedy side of London: the real estate market and its many denizens trying to get rich quick by any means necessary.

This is a big weekend for Mark Strong. Both RocknRolla and Body of Lies open today and feature outstanding performances by Strong. As American audiences begin to take note, Leonardo DiCaprio, his Body of Lies co-star, practically gushed in his praise of the English actor while promoting their film.

“He was one of the last people to be cast in the film,” DiCaprio explains. “I think [Mark] was taken aback by the sleazy, 70s suits he had to wear and the cheesy attire he had on,” Leo says, laughing, “but he jumped into the role full force.”

The Pervy Piven returns home solo from a Starbucks run this fine, sunny weekend.

Jeremy won’t be alone for long; he and the boys of Entourage return to HBO for their fifth season on September 7th and we can’t wait. Then, on September 15th, Piven may be taking home his third Emmy in a row for his portrayal of Ari, the agent with a light saber tongue.
