More than 15 years after he first graced the big screen, Bill Nighy's Davy Jones remains one of the all-time greatest CGI characters brought to life in a live-action movie. I would call this a "hot take," except I feel like most people would absolutely agree with me (so maybe it's more of a "room temperature take").
It's not just the milestone visual effects that continue to impress, either. Nighy's turn as the once-mortal buccaneer in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films — warped into a twisted cross between an octopus, a human, and a crab by his years of servitude as captain of...

Ron Moody in 'Oliver!' movie. Ron Moody: 'Oliver!' actor nominated for an Oscar dead at 91 (Note: This Ron Moody article is currently being revised.) Two well-regarded, nonagenarian British performers have died in the last few days: 93-year-old Christopher Lee (June 7, '15), best known for his many portrayals of Dracula and assorted movie villains and weirdos, from the title role in The Mummy to Dr. Catheter in Gremlins 2: The New Batch. 91-year-old Ron Moody (yesterday, June 11), among whose infrequent film appearances was the role of Fagin, the grotesque adult leader of a gang of boy petty thieves, in the 1968 Best Picture Academy Award-winning musical Oliver!, which also earned him a Best Actor nomination. Having been featured in nearly 200 movies and, most importantly, having had his mainstream appeal resurrected by way of the villainous Saruman in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies (and various associated merchandising,...

The thought of snapping your fingers to the tunes of your favorite fictional bands in film seems rather unreal. After all these movie music-makers seem like the “reel” deal in terms of their celluloid artistry and sense of colorful on-screen showmanship.
However, some of the fictional bands or musical acts we know very well and consider so fondly actually morph into real-life acts. Also, there are real-life bands that share a “fictionalized existence” on screen as well (for instance one can try and divide the musical phenomenon of The Beatles as treasured pop cultural entities from the mop top maniacs they portrayed on the big screen in A Hard’s Day Night or Help. Some may argue they were the one in the same in front of and away from the rolling cameras).
Whatever your definition of what constitutes a favorable fictional band in film at the present moment just...

Prince Harry took a casual lap around the polo fields in Berkshire, England, on Saturday prior to playing in the Audio Polo Tournament held at Coworth Park. The youngest prince is still in the UK since taking a break from his military duties to attend his brother William's royal wedding. Harry was spotted chatting with Charlize Theron during the outing, though he reportedly spent Kate and William's big night in the company of off-and-on girlfriend Chelsea Davy. William and the rest of his family are going back to their day-to-day activities with Kate Middleton settling into life as a duchess by taking casual trips to the grocery store and Princess Beatrice enjoying casual date nights with her boyfriend. Life as a royal has its downside, though; yesterday a serious threat was made against Harry's life. A new video released by an extremist group threatens to harm Prince Harry...

Does Prince Harry’s on-again girlfriend Chelsy Davy need to be worried? It seems sparks were flying between William’s brother and the royal bride’s maid of honor!
Wouldn’t Prince Harry & Pippa Middleton make an adorable couple? The 27-year-old younger sister of Kate Middleton almost stole the show at the royal wedding on April 29 in her gorgeous ivory cowl neck gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. But we couldn’t help but notice the chemistry between the maid of honor and the best man. Even though Harry brought his girlfriend Chelsea Davy, 25, to the wedding, we keep thinking what an picture-perfect couple the prince and Pippa would make!
Pippa sent the Twitter world on fire when she stepped out in her stunning form-fitted gown, which showed off her stunning figure. At many points during the procession, ceremony and the balcony kisses, we noticed Harry eyeing the beautiful brunette.

You know what? Enough about William. Sure, he’s the Windsor who will be taken off the market this Friday — but that’s precisely why we should all start shifting our focus to his brother, ginger-haired, ruddy-cheeked Prince Harry. Though rumors have been circulating that Diana and Charles’s younger son is planning to bring his on-again, off-again girlfriend Chelsy Davy to William and Kate’s wedding, Prince Harry hasn’t been seriously linked to a permanent ladyfriend in quite some time; he and Davy officially split in 2009. That makes “the spare” the U.K.’s most eligible bachelor. And...

Chelsy Davy appears to be back with Prince Harry, and she's reportedly been invited to his older brother Prince William's wedding this Friday. Davy, 25, was said to be on the guest list, according to British newspapers, of those attending William's marriage to Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey. Not only is the blonde Zimbabwean expected to be at the church service - she will likely lend her support to Harry, 26, at the private reception, where he is set to deliver his best man's speech late in the evening.

Are you as excited about the royal wedding as we are? Now that William is off the market, we can focus whole-heartedly on our favorite Single ginge, Prince Harry. Forget what Kate Middleton’s going to wear at the wedding, we want to see Harry rock some uniform. And we’re totally going to ignore this business of Harry and Chelsea Davy supposedly reuniting on a date. Because it totally didn’t happen. Heard that? Didn’t happen.
But unfortunately all our hopes of somehow attending that wedding (hah) have been officially dashed. Because if Michelle Obama didn’t get invited to Will and Kate’s “I do’s” there ain’t a chance in hell for anybody else.That’s pretty bad form on the Brits! Mrs O made an appearance on Live! With Regis And Kelly and revealed that she really hadn’t been invite to the wedding.

A be-hatted Davy. Photograph by Indigo/Getty Images.The royal wedding of Prince William and the future Princess Catherine is just a few months away. From the daily barrage of tabloid folly, Vf.com’s Royal Watcher in London plucks the best for your wedding crib notes. • Nothing seems terribly unusual about the exclamation “Protect the Prince”—unless that interjection refers not to the man but to his manhood. Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction are selling royally wrapped rubbers, which feature photos of the Prince and princess-to-be on the outside packaging, along with slogans such as “Lie back and think of England” on the prophylactics’ casing. This is one keepsake we’re hoping royal enthusiasts won’t actually be . . . keeping.

Bye, bye, Chelsy Davy: While the Zimbabwean-born beauty has been an on-and-off fixture in Prince Harry's life for nearly seven years, those around him confirm the two have quietly parted. Not that he is lonely. The latest lovely to be linked to him is a young woman who shares the same name as his stepmother: Camilla. She is Norwegian singer Camilla Romestrand, who fronts a U.K.-based band called Eddie The Gun. News of the World reported that this Camilla went back to the palace one night - as a guest of another female pal of the prince.

Now that the 2010 line-up for the Criterion Collection has finally been announced with last week’s December titles, we can begin speculating on what we’ll get in 2011. With over 50 spine numbers in 2010, will we see # 600 in 2011? At the rate that Criterion is churning out these discs, we have to assume so. Where will they get all of these upcoming titles from?
Well, over the past few months we’ve seen several titles from MGM’s catalog announced, and hinted at in their monthly newsletter. Most likely due to MGM’s current financial problems, it’s nice to see Criterion stepping up to rescue these films from the abyss of “out of print”. If you head over to the various forums (CriterionForum.org, Mubi, etc.) you’ll find many people speculating on the MGM titles that Criterion has acquired the rights to.

The British papers are atwitter with news that Prince Harry has moved in with on-again girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Apparently, Davy gave her Prince keys to her $2.4 million, three-bedroom London apartment, which also accommodates Harry's security detail. The Prince is said to prefer living with her to staying in the 180-year-old royal residence Clarence House, which can get a bit cramped when Prince William and Kate Middleton join permanent residents the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
