I was talking to someone today, who brought up the idea that Mickey Rourke isn’t so much of an actor as he is someone who can bulk up or slim down for a [...]

It tells the story of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, India, who’s a contestant [...]

My son and I have been impatiently waiting to hear whether Heath Ledger got a Golden Globe nomination for his role as The Joker in “The Dark Knight.” Yes! He’s nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
He’s got some pretty good competition, including Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Doubt,” but I’m betting that Ledger will win [...]

I saw a picture of Mickey Rourke at the Venice Film Festival this year and have to say, he looked pretty darn tough. Now Page Six is reporting that he nearly took his own life in a gory murder-suicide. Even wrote a heart-wrenching note to his estranged wife, Carre Otis. [...]

The Venice Film Festival is in full swing right now, and there really hasn’t been a ton of star power in attendance.
But that changed when Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood arrived on the scene to premiere The Wrestler, which centers on an aging former wrestler.
