Saw IV Update - Official Movie Poster..

A while back we posted what a poster for Saw IV, which most people on the net thought was the official movie poster.. But " Tomorrow's Entertainment " got the official word it wasn’t, it was just an invite for a promotional dinner for the relentless franchise.. Now we can bring you the official poster for " Saw IV.. " I have gotten guarantee that it is 100% real..

The poster shows a typical supermarket produce weigh - scale, which features Tobin Bell in a most unusual pose..

In Saw IV, Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead..

Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw's latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle..

However, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences..

Darren Bousman explains, " The people that are coming back for " Saw IV " definitely have been here before and they know what they’re doing.. People kind of look down [ on us ] because we’re doing these so fast, we’re churning them out.. But one of the great things is we’re not churning them out, we just never stopped production.. So it’s not like we have to come back and think.."

Bousman, who used to work on " X - Files " compares his experience on the highly successful television series to working on ' Saw IV..' " I would always go up and say [ to the producers ], ' Do you guys know where this thing is going? Do you have an answer?' and they would go, ' No, no, we really don't..' In 'Saw 4 ' we know where it’s going and there is a definite conclusion and it’s badass.. I’m glad to be involved with something that I know where this thing is going.."

Lionsgate will release the film on the 26th October 2007..

The Simpsons Movie Review

It takes a wide screen to fully capture Homer Simpson's stupidity, and " The Simpsons Movie " does it.. In the eagerly awaited animated feature film based on the hit TV series, Homer must save the world from a catastrophe he himself has created..

Rated: [ PG ] Mild Animated Violence, Nudity and Drug Use, Sexual References, Coarse Language and Themes

Cinema release: 26th July 2007

Running time: 87 mins

Stars: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Albert Brooks

Diehard fans can breathe a sigh of relief - " The Simpsons Movie " is, in the famed words of Montgomery Burns, eeexxxcellent..

After 18 seasons and 400 episodes on TV, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie make the long - awaited leap to the big screen in an adventure that is funny, satirical and poignant..

While the film is littered with hundreds of gags and references to politics, religion and domesticity, the central plot finds Homer accidentally polluting Springfield's water supply to toxic levels - forcing the Environmental Protection Agency to place a glass dome over the town to separate it from the rest of the United States..

When the townsfolk turn on the Simpsons, the four - fingered family flees to Alaska..

" The Simpsons Movie " also deals with Bart's crumbling relationship with Homer ( The daredevil kid turns to Flanders for some diddly - doodly companionship ), Lisa's Al Gore - style environmental presentation called " An Irritating Truth," Homer's adoption of a pig he dubs ' Spider - Pig,' and countless other threads..

Written by a team of veteran " Simpsons " writers - including Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, Al Jean and Mike Scully - the movie is consistently smart and often hysterical.. Nobody does social commentary like " The Simpsons,"and even after all these years the franchise is still at the top of its game..

The film's best moments involve a full - frontal shot of one of the key characters, a line about curly - haired children and a gay joke delivered by the adorable Ralph Wiggum..

Only a scrooge would accuse the movie of cashing in on an entertainment people can watch for free from home.. In fact, Homer addresses that issue in the opening frames, saying: " I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on TV for free.. Everyone in this theatre is a sucker.."

Call me a sucker, but " The Simpsons Movie " is worth every penny..

I give " The Simpsons Movie " 4 out of 5..

Book Review - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows..

Like everyone else who has gotten the smallest smidgen of enjoyment of Harry Potter I was looking forward to reading the last of the series ( Allegedly ).. In fact, once I received Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I promptly sat down and read it cover to cover in one sitting.. This 600 - page fantasy reads rather well, it has to be said, flowing nicely along at a good pace.. It's dark and bloody, but then again what do you expect with Voldermort kicking around?

Millions of fans worldwide lined up at the stroke of midnight, 9am or whatever time it was at a bookstore near you, to get their hands on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final installment in author J.K. Rowling's magnus opus of a boy wizard's epic fight against the evil Lord Voldemort.. I am pleased to report that the hype was well deserved.. The Deathly HallowsPotter is a grand finale.. It is a fitting conclusion, filled with darkness and triumph, that will have fans rejoicing.. Rowling's narrative is spellbinding, this 600 - page fantasy reads rather well, it has to be said, every page seamlessly flowing into the next.. She skillfully takes ten years and seven novels to a climax worthy of literary greatness..

The Deathly Hallows begins with Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters firmly in control.. The Ministry of Magic has fallen and The Order of the Phoenix, those loyal to the deceased Albus Dumbledore, face death at every turn.. The first scene of action and danger is a spectacular stunt, involving no fewer than 15 of the good guys in mortal peril.. It is testament to Rowling’s gifts that her readers know, love and will be able to recite the family history of all 15 - and would be sorry to see them go..

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are running for their lives.. Severus Snape has been instituted as Headmaster of Hogwarts by the new Voldemort regime.. It is a dark and hopeless time in the wizarding world..

Harry knows that he must find and destroy the seven hidden pieces of Voldemort's soul, horcruxes, but struggles to decipher the mysterious clues left behind by Dumbledore.. Even more disturbing are revelations that Dumbledore himself once practiced dark magic.. And that he had a family that was undone by his tragic actions.. The weight of the war takes its toll and despair begins to creep into Harry's psyche.. But the battle is not his alone.. Harry is surrounded by loyalty.. Hermione, whose cunning and brilliance has always been extolled, proves that she is the greatest witch of her day.. Ron, and the entire Weasley family, are courageous to the end.. They help Harry to discover Dumbledore's greatest secret, the awesome power of The Deathly Hallows, three magical objects that can conquer death itself..

The question every fan has been asking is which characters die.. They won't be disappointed, because there is death in spades.. Many characters die and some of them not well.. They are tortured, maimed, and killed in a variety of disturbing ways.. Rowling does not retreat from the horrors of evil.. Voldemort is Satan incarnate here, a monster with capability and drive.. This is the battle of good versus evil that fans have been waiting to see..

The Deathly Hallows is packed to the brim with action.. There are chases, spectacular wizarding duels, and all - out battle scenes that I'm sure has Warner Bros. moist in anticipation of the film.. But to J.K. Rowling's continued credit, none of it is overdone or unnecessary.. The characters are fighting a long and brutal war.. There are battles to be won and tragedies to be had.. Such is the nature of war, which she never trivializes.. Every loss is felt and has meaning in the context of the story..

Rowling also gets top marks for her superb character development.. This is not the Harry, Ron, and Hermione from The Sorcerer's Stone.. I love that they are mature.. The characters handle the deadly issues they face with realistic emotional responses.. There's no contrivances or melodrama here.. I believe this is J.K. Rowling's greatest strength as a writer.. She's highly imaginative, but her skill in writing dialogue and building tension is amongst the best writers of all time.. She can take great pride in writing not one, but seven masterful works of fiction..

I'm too close to having read the book to judge it against the others in the series.. It's a stellar conclusion to an incredible body of work.. Fan reaction will be gushing, as it almost always is, but I think the critics will like this one as well.. At the end of the day it's a fantastic read and that's all that you want in a great book..

As for the final chapter, I actually had a feeling Rowling would finish with this storyline.. Ever since " Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets " I have thought this would be the way she will end it, as it now leaves it open for more sequels.. As Rowling said, this will be the final installment for Harry Potter.. So say hello to " James Potter in the Potter’s Never Say Die.."

I give " Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows " 4.5 out of 5..

The Truth is Still Out There..

The truth is still out there - and X Files agents Mulder and Scully are on their way back to discover it..

In an exclusive interview David Duchovny, who played Fox Mulder in the cult sci - fi TV series for eight years, told " Tomorrow's Entertainment.." he and the show’s creator Chris Carter are planning on making a sequel to their 1998 movie..

David said:

" It’s always been my desire to turn The X Files into a film franchise.. We’re hoping to get together just under a year from now and make another X Files movie.. Chris is working on the script right now with Frank Spotnitz, who was one of the writers on the show.. Gillian Anderson who played Dana Scully hasn’t signed yet, but we’d need to have her on board.."

David and Gillian stopped making The X Files - a show packed full of alien chasing and conspiracy solving - in 2002 in a bid to pursue other projects..

He’s gone on to star in movies including Connie And Carla, Full Frontal and House Of D, while Gillian has appeared on the West End stage in What the Night Is For and will be on BBC1 shortly in the station’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House..

And while David doesn’t know exactly what Chris’s script for the reunion X Files film contains, he said it won’t be picking up the storyline from the show’s final episode..

" I think we’re going back to the ‘monster of the week’ type feel, where if you’re not an avid fan and don’t understand the mythology you can still come to it and get the movie," David revealed.

"Especially because at this point I think some people would have forgotten what the mythology was or what happened in seasons two, three and four.."

He added: " If the movie’s a success then it’s a way we can continue to make the show while pursuing other projects.. We have a great launching pad for some really thrilling stories and the two main characters are still very vivid.. And I hope to do this a couple more times before we’re too old!"

The X Files was famous for its complex mythology and outlandish conspiracy theories, which thousands of websites are dedicated to explaining..

But did David ever have trouble keeping up with the plot when the scripts landed through his letterbox?

" I don’t think I ever tried," he admits.. " I worked on a strictly need to know basis.. Although when I wrote more on the show I did get more interested.. The funny thing is, at first we weren’t even going to have this whole overarching mythology.. The X Files started out as a ' monster of the week ' kind of show without anything joining one episode to the next.. Then Gillian got pregnant at the end of the first series and needed to take some time off.. They had to have her abducted and Chris, to his credit, used the hardship of Gillian’s pregnancy to usher a soap opera element into the show and create this continuing mythology within it.. Then that element took over.."

David told us: " I did eight years on the X Files and then the last couple of episodes of the ninth and final series.. It was a life - altering and career - altering experience.. I have great memories of the show and when I do look back at the older stuff, from the first and second years, I’m amazed at how much I recall.. When I watch an episode I won’t remember a scene, but I will remember the day I shot it and what I had for lunch.. What’s interesting to me is not what’s on screen, but what was happening in my life at that point.. Which I’m sure is the exact opposite of how fans of the show remember it - they don’t care what I had for lunch!"

But for many fans it was the chemistry between Mulder and Scully that turned the show into a worldwide hit..

Their will they - won’t they relationship kept viewers hooked - and saw the show pick up Emmy, Golden Globe and Bafta awards..

David told us: " Some people just throw sparks together on screen and me and Gillian had that.. I think part of it was down to us as performers, but a lot of the credit has to go to how concretely drawn the characters were.. Mulder was the more feminine and more intuitive one, whereas Scully had traditionally masculine traits.. And the fact there was really never any physical contact until right near the very end was a great tease..

He added: " Gillian and I got on, but we weren’t friends away from the show.. The X Files was just a job for me and by the time we got to the middle years we were leading separate lives and just coming to work and making the show.. We still email occasionally, I think she’s living in England now.. I do miss the environment of The X Files and the people who made it, but after the first few months of not doing the show you have to move on and get on with the rest of your life..

Stay tuned for more news of the latest installment of The X Files..

Ace Ventura 3: When They Make Another Movie Without Jim Carrey, You Know It's Gonna Be a Flop..

Remember what happened when someone tried to do a " Dumb & Dumber " sequel without Jim Carrey? How about when they slapped together a Carrey - deficient sequel to " The Mask?" You think those would be a pair of solid lessons learned right there? Guess again.. Here comes a Carrey - free " Ace Ventura 3.."Already composed an impressive film resume for an actor of his age, teen star Josh Flitter is now adding one more credit into the list as he has signed to star in the third " Ace Ventura " movie, with David Mickey Evans ( The Sandlot, The Final Season ) directing..

After his African adventure in " Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," Ace returned to Florida, married girlfriend Melissa and became the doting father of a baby boy.. Never one to sit still, Ace's curious nature took him on another remote case.. The goofball gumshoe was never to be seen or heard from again.. Single mom Melissa couldn't fully put the past behind her.. Now a zookeeper, she and Ace Jr. ( Josh Flitter ) have made a life carrying on without her husband.. Much to Melissa's chagrin, however, 12 - year - old Ace Jr. has begun to follow in his father's comic footsteps.. He has recently become a pet detective for the 7th grade set, often trying to recover classmates' missing pets, and always with big mishaps.. But when a master animal thief abducts a baby panda and his mom is wrongly arrested of the crime, Ace Jr. must jump into action.. Now, with the help of pals Laura and tech wizard A - Plus, young Ace must bring the thief to justice and do his inane and lovable dad's memory justice..

We can only hope that Ace Ventura 3 manages to live up to all the other critically lauded Son Of.. movies that have been made, like Son Of Kong, Son Of Tarzan, Son Of Robin Hood, Son Of The Blob and Son of the Pink Panther..

Filming is scheduled to start on the 17th September 2007 in Orlando, Florida with " The Final Season " helmer David M. Evans directing from script written by Jeff Sank also Jason and Justin Heimberg.. Mogan Creek topper James G. Robinson is producing alongside David Robinson while Guy McElwaine is taking the executive producer's seat..

Kylie Steps Back inTime..

She had a hit track with " Step Back In Time.." Now that's exactly what she’s doing..

Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue is set to join David Tennant in the TV Christmas special of the most popular British science - fiction TV drama " Doctor Who.."

This first photo of the pop princess on the set of " Doctor Who " was taken two days ago..

Kylie crouches in fear next to the Time Lord, played by David Tennant.. The singer has been cast as Astrid, a waitress on the Titanic, in the Christmas special..

The episode, Voyage Of The Damned, began filming in Cardiff this month.. The story follows on directly from the ending of the third series, when viewers saw the " Titanic " crash through the Tardis's walls..

The BBC said Minogue, 39, would play a " major lead role " alongside " Dr Who " actor David Tennant..

Minogue said: " It is an incredible thrill to be joining David and the entire " Dr Who " production for this year's Christmas special.. " Dr Who " enjoys a unique history and it is going to be very exciting to be a part of that.."

The story will follow on directly from the ending of the third series which finished on Saturday..

The episode has been written by " Doctor Who's "executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies..

He said: " We are delighted and excited to announce that Kylie Minogue will be joining the Doctor.."

He continued: " Doctor Who " Christmas specials are always a joy and we feel very confident that this will be the most ambitious and best Christmas episode yet.."

Appearing on " Doctor Who " would be another strong sign of a comeback for Kylie, obviously.. Ever since her moving post - Cancer interview, Kylie Minogue has slowly been reminding the world of who she is again, via the magic of opportunistic children's books and wearing clothes sometimes.. Minogue returned to the stage after an 18 - month break last November with a sell - out concert in Sydney after recovering from breast cancer.. Until her new album is released, larking about on the Christmas " Doctor Who " will be the best way for Kylie Minogue to remind everyone what a beloved cultural ( I'm talking more for the Aussies ) icon she is..

The fourth series of " Doctor Who " is expected to return in Spring next year..

Footloose Remake..

Paramount, in a move that makes me again wonder how little imagination Hollywood has left, has decided that a " Footloose " remake was in order.. Since " Footloose " was adapted into a Broadway musical, Paramount figures that they would adapt the musical back onto film; as a musical..

With the Oscar - winning and box - office success of '' Chicago '' producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have become the go - to guys for musicals on film.. They recently brought the classic '' The Music Man '' to TV, they're working on a film version of the classic '' Guys and Dolls '' for Miramax, and now, Paramount is developing a musical remake of the 1984 film " Footloose " and will develop it for " High School Musical " star Zac Efron and director Kenny Ortega.. Dylan Sellers will produce..

The plan is to turn the project into a full - blown musical.. Footloose was already turned into a Broadway musical..

Ortega is in negotiations to helm and choreograph, and Efron is in talks to play Ren McCormack, the rebellious newcomer ( Originally played by Kevin Bacon ) in a town where dancing has been banned..

The new movie will be an update of the Kevin Bacon movie, not the Broadway musical it spawned in 1998, though Dean Pitchford, who wrote the original movie and its song lyrics as well as adapting his screenplay into the Broadway show, will pitch in again as executive producer and will write four more songs.. ( Some of the original tunes, including the title song and '' Let's Hear It for the Boy,'' will stay ) Unlike the original movie, the characters will sing this time; as with '' Chicago '' the filmmakers are looking for actors willing to warble and hoof on camera.. '' This is going to have a more experimental feel and will be closer in tone to " Moulin Rouge " than " Chicago " said Zadan, whose producing career began in 1984 with the original movie..

Now this is just a little rumor that " Tomorrow's Entertainment " has picked up, but the " Footloose " remake could also be starring Britney Spears..

Harry Potter and the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre..

Hogwarts came to the famous Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood yesterday.. This is the world famous theater where tons of movie stars have put their feet and hand's in the cement..

To help celebrate the upcoming release of the new " Harry Potter " film, the three main stars - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson - joined many Hollywood stars who have left their handprints and footprints and in this case, wandprints, in wet cement in the forecourt of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, thus becoming immortalized.. Grauman’s is the one undisputed shrine in Hollywood at which every Tinseltown pilgrim pays homage.. The renowned forecourt represents a virtual " Who’s Who ” of Hollywood superstars including Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood just to name a few, and the space in the theatre’s small forecourt is so scarce that the honor is reserved solely for true Hollywood superstars..

The trio were introduced to hundreds of fans who attended the event by Harry Potter producer David Heyman..

DAVID HEYMAN: " This is amazing.. When I first read this first book which wasn’t called " The Sorcerer’s Stone ” it was called " Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone ” in England, I most certainly had no idea that we’d be standing here having made five films and Dan, Rupert and Emma would be honored in this amazing way by putting their hands, feet and, yes, their wands in this place.. This tradition goes back to 1929 I believe, and it’s an amazing, amazing thing, so we’re all really excited.."

Heyman proceeded to introduce the people connected with film including director David Yates who got a big cheer..

" I just want to bring out the three actors who are going to join here people like John Wayne, Sophia Loren, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, it’s amazing.. Anyway, let me bring out Harry, Ron and Hermione - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.."

Radcliffe, Grint and Watson seemed genuinely overwhelmed when they come out..

EMMA: " I’m really nervous.. I can’t believe I’m here, I can’t believe I’m here.. I’m so honored to be here, I think it’s probably the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.."

RUPERT: " This is just so incredible.. We’re so nervous, it’s surreal, we’re honored - " ( can’t hear the rest because the crowd is screaming sooooo loud! )

DANIEL ( screaming even louder if that’s at all possible ) " Thank you all very, very much for coming.. This is extremely amazing to join people like John Wayne, and just looking around at some of the other names here is remarkable.. Thank you for letting us do this.."

They put their wands in the cement first - wrote their names by their wands - then did their handprints and lastly their footprints.. After the ceremony was over, here’s what Daniel and Emma had to tell us:

DANIEL: " It didn’t really hit us all how much this was actually going to be until we actually got out here and did it; and so thank you very much indeed.."

EMMA: " Looking at all the names down on the ground here, everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Mickey Mouse, it’s just amazing.. We’re just very flattered and thank you so much, it was really incredible.."

Daniel, Rupert and Emma were in town to promote the next installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise, " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which opens today..

You can watch some of the ceremony here..

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review..

Well it is finally here.. Better still I am finally able to post a review on the movie everyone has been waiting for.. " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.." Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community is in denial about the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort, preferring to turn a blind eye to the news that Voldemort has returned.. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students..

But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry - approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands.. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves " Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead..

Rated: [ M ] Moderate Fantasy Themes and Violence

Cinema release: 11th July 2007

Running Time: 138 minutes

Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Imelda Staunton, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane, Katie Leung

" Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " marks the most mature year at Hogwarts yet - but at the same time suffers from 'middle - chapter syndrome' and a mountain of exposition in preparation for the final two adaptations, " Half-Blood Prince " and " Deathly Hallows.."

Things are indeed getting darker in the world of Potter.. In " Order of the Phoenix," both the mood and color scheme are grim, gray and black.. There is pink, as a matter of fact, but this belongs to the first female villain of the literary and film series.. Harry goes through a series of experiences that initiate him into the adult world: frightening nightmares, a first kiss, an encounter with the odiousness of order, the discovery of the complexity of the battle between good and evil, and painfully hard lessons that have to be wrestled from death on many different levels.. Sound quite heavy? It is, and so are the burdens of growing up, even if you are an accomplished wizard..

The movie begins as summer comes to an end, Harry Potter ( Daniel Radcliffe ) has a nasty encounter with two spectral Dementors, in which Harry saves his cousin Dudley Dursley ( Harry Melling ) from them.. Harry is forced to defend his actions to a court at the Ministry of Magic for the underage use of magic outside of school and in the presence of a Muggle.. Things seem stacked against him until Albus Dumbledore ( Michael Gambon ), the headmaster of Hogwarts, defends him and he is allowed to return to school..

But he's not exactly welcomed there.. Many in the community refuse to believe he is telling the truth about the return of the evil Lord Voldemort.. There are still many in the community who refuse to believe that Voldemort has returned and is gathering new followers.. Harry is troubled by nightmares and feels isolated even from his best friends, Hermione and Ron..

Saved by the intervention of Dumbledore ( Michael Gambon ), he begins a new term at Hogwarts accused of lying about his encounter with the evil Voldemort and distrusted by some students.. But danger is afoot at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: the evil Lord Voldemort ( Ralph Fiennes ) is rebuilding his army, while a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher - the conservative, control - crazy Professor Dolores Umbridge ( Imelda Staunton ) - is plotting to overthrow Dumbledore..

With the school doing little to improve their wizarding skills, Harry, Hermione and Ron team with a select band of students to form Dumbledore's Army and start training themselves for the battles to come.. Hermione and Ron convince Harry to teach a group of willing teenagers the appropriate spells.. Their group is a tribute to the original Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization formed by Dumbledore to combat the forces of evil; Harry's parents, the Weasley's, and his friend Sirius Black were members.. Harry's spirits are lifted as he teaches his peers to use their powers in new ways.. He is especially impressed by the support he gets from Luna Lovegood ( Evanna Lynch ), a soft - spoken young girl and Cho Chang ( Katie Leung ), his long - time admirer..

With the danger of Voldemort drawing closer, Harry and a rebel group of students have to fly back to London for a climactic face - off against Voldemort and his henchmen in a Ministry of Magic storeroom..

Since the first " Harry Potter " film was released in 2001, audiences around the world have had the great pleasure of watching Radcliffe and his two young co - stars, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, grow up before their eyes.. The three have matured to a point where their characters are effortlessly portrayed - " Order of the Phoenix " is the strongest in the series in terms of performances..

Hermione and Ron are ever - present, but their significance in the story seems to shrink as Harry grows.. But to dwell on a few weaknesses would be to neglect the obvious point - that Harry Potter is older, bigger and darker than ever.. And no one would want to miss his journey..

" Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " overflows with devious plots, plans and clever machinations, and is constantly entertaining, wonderfully condensing what was the longest of JK Rowling's books.. ( 800 pages if I remember correctly )

Alan Rickman delivers an outstanding hissing performance as the dark and doleful Snape, and Helena Bonham Carter crops up in the final section as the maniacal villainess Bellatrix Lestrange..

The youngsters are all pretty impressive.. But Ron ( Rupert Grint ) is never given enough to do, and while Hermione ( Emma Watson ) is as earnest as ever, it is Ron's sister, ( Bonnie Wright ) Ginny, who makes the most subtle and memorable impact.. Her time is to come..

Oddly, the Cho Chang character simply fades away and disappears after her lip action with Harry, but you don't mind too much because the final half - hour is a truly classic piece of action - adventure.. The special effects are superb, and this time round we really get some proper wizard duelling, with the wands doubling as deadly weapons and blood spilled as the young heroes slug it out with a grizzled group of baddie magicians..

There is even a Star Wars moment as Dumbledore ( The Obi - Wan Kenobi in this version ) goes wand - to - wand with Voldemort ( Darth Vader ) as they battle for the life and soul of Harry Potter..

This time the magical teens are making the difficult transition to young adults.. Love, betrayal, independence and commitment all play their part.. The film is a cracking piece of entertainment - it's well over two hours long, but you simply wish it could go on..

Wonderfully directed by David Yates, it is an energetic epic that will keep Potter fans more than happy as the countdown for the new - and final - book draws on..

I give " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " 4 out of 5..

Have I Got a Review for You!!

Aloha to you all.. Just thought I would take the time to thank you all for visiting " Tomorrow's Entertainment.." The blog is getting bigger and better with every passing day.. I have a review EVERYONE is dieing to read or hear.. But there is only one problem.. It can't be written til after it's official release date.. But definitely stay tune for this one.. By the way, doesn't Emma Watson look hot in this pic.. :)

Sticking Spike into Torchwood..

Sticking Spike into Torchwood.. Torchwood are borrowing everyone's favorite demon..

Marsters' website reports he's currently filming a part in the second series of " UK sci - fi television favorite Torchwood.." ( Well actually if you ask me, Doctor Who is the UK's favorite sci - fi series..)

James Marsters is best known for his roles as Spike on " Buffy the Vampire Slayer " and Dr. Milton Fine on " Smallville.."

Marsters is also an acclaimed musician having played in bands and solo in bars and clubs for many years and he was the lead singer for the rock band Ghost of the Robot..

So what should fans expect of Marsters, as he takes on the adult spinoff of " Doctor Who?"

Marsters tells Tomorrow's Entertainment that his role is " going to offend some, titillate others - to the point where they would need to finish themselves off afterwards.."

He also said that Brits are more liberal in their approach to sex and sexuality than Americans, but wouldn't spill the beans on what exactly we'll happen during his stay.. However, whilst he wouldn't be specific, the hint is that something " omnisexual " was going to happen in the episode; which would fit right in with the cast as each of the five main cast members have shared smooching and love affairs with members of both genders..

" Torchwood," an anagram of " Doctor Who," is a secret task force that deals with alien encounters.. John Barrowman plays ageless omnisexual time agent Captain Jack Harkness, who leads the Cardiff - based team.. The series was created by Russell T Davies, who is responsible for reviving the series " Doctor Who.."

Harry Potter Update..

Harry Potter film series star Daniel Radcliffe spoke a little about his thoughts on Book Seven.. As we reach the final weeks before the big reveal, Radcliffe and his co - stars were asked about what they think will happen to their counterparts, especially in light of the heavy odds against the survival of some of them..

" That's hilarious," Radcliffe said in a press conference.. " That's interesting.. The public must really love me.." He said, " A couple of years ago I said that I really, I would like Harry to die.. Because I think that is; a conclusive ending.. I'm sort of going to stay away from that now, because the next day the headlines will be ' Radcliffe Wants Harry Dead..' Which is, you know, awful.. But I do think it would be fitting, in a way, because when you consider the prophecy that was made about him and Voldemort and things like that, one of them has got to go.."

Rupert Grint, moviedom's Ron Weasley, " I wouldn't really mind ( Ron's death ) if it was a really cool scene, if it was done in a really cool way.. It doesn't really matter, because it's the last one, but I think I'd like him to sort of survive.. I don't know.. There's a lot of rumors going around, so I don't know what's going to happen.."

" I'm sort of praying that she's going to make it," Emma Watson said about her character Hermione Granger.. " I don't know why, but I think she's going to make it.. I hope so.. I really hope.. But then, in a way, I guess also, I don't know.. It would just be nice to like sort of wrap the characters up and sort of know which direction they're going in, and, like, hopefully you know Hermione will have a really cool career in something or other or would be doing something really great with her intelligence.."

Back in March Warner Brothers announced that the entire Harry Potter cast, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were locked up for all seven Potter films, and we all were relieved.. Well it may have been premature..

Monday in the Herald Sun, Radcliffe himself spoke out on the subject of the seventh film, and he contradicted everything the WB said in their announcement. Daniel Radcliffe says he has not yet agreed to be in the seventh movie.. He says, " It all depends on the script and who's going to direct it.. It would be foolish to make it for the sake of it.."

Hang on a minute.. What do you mean for the sake of it Daniel? How about finishing what you started! Do you film the ending of a movie or series just ‘ for the sake of it..’ I think it’s pretty unlikely Warner Bros would release a statement saying Daniel is in the 7th movie if he wasn’t secured..

Alvinnnnn And The Chipmunks Update..

In the CG / live - action family comedy, Jason Lee ( My Name Is Earl ) plays David Seville.. The film is based on the 1950's cartoon series about chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who lay waste to Seville's surroundings and sing in three - part harmony.. Seville was the stage name of songwriter and performer Ross Bagdasarian, who first used the sped - up voice technique on his song " The Witch Doctor " and later used the same technique for his Chipmunk records..

Is this what we can expect?

" Alvin And The Chipmunks " will be singing their way into a theater near you from the 14th December 2007..

Saw IV Update..

Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are dead.. Now, upon the news of Detective Kerry's murder, two seasoned FBI profilers, Agent Strahm and Agent Perez, arrive in the terrified community to assist the veteran Detective Hoffman in sifting through Jigsaw's latest grizzly remains and piecing together the puzzle.. However, when SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game, the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences..

The filmmakers behind " Saw IV " promise not to cheat the fans who stuck by the first three.. Though their main killer, Jigsaw, perished at the end of " Saw III," actor Tobin Bell remains in " Saw IV.." And producer Mark Burg promises that they're not pulling a soap opera twist..

" Here's what I'm going to tell everybody without ruining the movie," said Burg.. " Tobin is dead.. We don't jump the shark.. It's not his twin brother.. All these crazy ideas that I've heard, he's dead.. All I will tell you is yes, he's dead and yes, he's in the movie.."

The creepiest moments of " Saw " films are when Jigsaw explains his diabolical tasks to his victims.. Yeah, seeing people getting ripped apart is cringe - inducing, but we want to see some more of that banter.. Actor Tobin Bell promises more verbal sparring with the new victims in " Saw IV.."

" There's a guy in this film that we've never met before, who I can only describe him as being disenfranchised," said Bell.. " Jigsaw comes into contact with this guy and they're like total opposites in certain ways.. I view Jigsaw as someone who is basically living on a frontier in some ways.. Imagine those guys on the moon.. Many people talk a good game about the things that they care about in this world, but they do nothing about it.. He, right or wrong, steps forward, does what he does.. So this guy he runs into in this film, or their paths cross, this guy is one of the lost of the world.."

Jigsaw has previously spoken to doctors and cops.. The lesser characters only get to hear him on tape.. This may be the first time Jigsaw has faced an intellectual lesser.. " As I think about it now, although Jigsaw is extremely well educated, he's a philosopher, a mechanical engineer, he had everything to live for in his previous career, this other guy had never had anything.. There's an interesting dialogue between the two of them.. Anyway, you get to meet this guy in the film.. I think it's a very interesting juxtaposition.."

As an actor, Bell appreciates the rhythm of his " Saw " dialogues, including their use of silence.. The described scene applies those concepts too.. " It's in the scene where he talks to this guy who's disenfranchised, totally disenfranchised.. It's interesting to have two people that come from totally different worlds, totally different training having this conversation, this dialogue.. To be honest, I'm doing most of the talking in this dialogue.."

MovieWeb has recently interviewed actor Tobin Bell, here is what he had to say..

The first thing I got to know is, how many more of these movies does Jigsaw have left in him before he kicks the bucket?

Tobin Bell: Well, you know that I've been dead since the beginning. I was dead on the floor. Did you see Saw One?

Of course I did.

Tobin Bell: I was dead on the floor. I've been dead since the very beginning. Its kind of amazing that I'm still alive and kicking. I will tell you what. I will answer that question. The question is, "How many more sequels will Jigsaw be in?"

Yeah.

Tobin Bell: I think there is an unlimited number that Jigsaw can be involved in. It's just a question of story. And how that story plays out. But you will find out in the very first scene of Saw IV what his condition is at the beginning of the film.

If he is faking it, how does he suffer through someone working on his brain like at the end of Saw III?

Tobin Bell: That's a good question. You'll see right at the beginning of Saw IV.

Will we see any more of Jigsaw's love interest, the mystery girl that comes to him in the flashback while his brain is being worked on?

Tobin Bell: What makes you ask that? Is that something you are interested in?

What do you mean?

Tobin Bell: Was that little flashback interesting to you?

I found it very interesting, then they didn't go any further with it.

Tobin Bell: Oh, okay. That's right. That's right. You are going to find out more about that in this film. That's why I asked you. Yeah, you will find out who she is. But you just never know how things register in people's minds. Especially when something comes up as quickly as that did. So, that's good. I'm glad you were interested in that.

Can you tell me anything about your favorite kill scene in this movie?

Tobin Bell: There are a couple of traps in this film that are pretty amazing. All I can say is, I think the one with Cecil is pretty amazing. You will remember that I told you this when you see Cecil die in the film.

Can you tell me anything about Cecil's character?

Tobin Bell: I can't really tell you that. Uh, Cecil is a guy...(Being coy) Let's see, did we meet Cecil in a previous Saw? Have we met Cecil before? Or is this the first time we have met him? I think this is his first film, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of him.

In the third one, they cleared up a lot of the continuity problems that some people have had a problem with. One of the things we haven't learned yet is, in the first film Jigsaw was taking puzzle pieces out of people's backs. That seems to be a discontinued plot point. Are we going to figure out what Jigsaw was doing with those puzzle pieces of flesh?

Tobin Bell: Mmm-hmm. Yeah. We will. One of the interesting things about Saw is that you don't find out about things in sequential or linear order. One of the things that fans have liked a lot is, we don't forget about details. They come back and reveal themselves as the story evolves. So, yes you will find out more about those jigsaw pieces.

One of the things my friends and me have talked about is that, other film franchises have intermingled with each other. We have Freddy vs. Jason and the like. Is there any other franchise villain that could go up against Jigsaw? Could he possibly find himself in a Hostel?

Tobin Bell: No. I really understand when people talk about him as some sort of horror icon. In my mind, I don't think he views himself in that way. I certainly don't view him in that way. As some kind of giant horror guy. I always try to work on the humanity in any character that I play, and that includes Jigsaw. I just don't have that perspective on him. I understand that people do. When you say, "Go up against." I imagine two lawnmowers coming at each other. I don't have that kind of view of him. My view on him is one of tremendous delicacy. I don't think he would probably do very well going up against anybody. Certainly neither one of those guys. If he has any strength, its in is commitment and determination. And in his intellect.

How do you feel about all the popularity you've received from this? Are you happy to be a horror icon?

Tobin Bell: I'm very happy to be a part of a very successful piece of art, as the Saw films have been. One gets into this to participate. It's the coming together of a good story. So, that aspect of it has been just splendid. It really has nothing to do with me, or my popularity. I'm fascinated. Groups of skateboarders come up to me and start to talk to me about the Saw movies. And generally, they talk a lot about the concepts that are in the films. I'm always interested in that. They don't talk that much about the traps. They talk about things like, when I said to Detective Daniels in Saw II, "How would you live your life differently if you knew the exact moment of your own death?" These are twelve year olds. And they are talking about appreciations of blessing. Things like that. So, yeah. I ask them what they like about the films. And they say, "Wow, they're so crazy. And they are so real. And they teach you stuff." And I'm like, "What?" And they start to talk about some of the concepts that get interspersed between the murder and the mayhem. I find that far more interesting than anything to do with my popularity. Whatever that is. I don't think about that sort of thing. I try to bring as much as I can every single moment we are on that set. If it works out well, that's great. So far it has been a wonderful opportunity, and I feel very pleased about it.

There's nothing you can tell me about the movie?

Tobin Bell: About Saw IV? I think Darren is going to talk more about the storyline than I am able to. I will be interested to hear what he has to say about it. I think you get to meet some new characters in it. Some people that Jigsaw has been connected to and in touch with during a protracted period of time that we have never met before. That having been said, you meet new characters, but they also fill in some of the details from the previous stories. Which I think is always fun.

Any chance we'll see Jigsaw in space?

Tobin Bell: There's always a chance. You never know what Hollywood is going to do.

Do you frequent the drive-in?

Tobin Bell: Oh, yeah. Sure. You mean a drive-in restaurant or a drive-in movie?

The movies.

Tobin Bell: I grew up on drive-ins. I haven't been to one for a while.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have the premier for this at a drive-in?

Tobin Bell: I don't know. Ask Mark. He would probably know about that. I don't know if a drive-in would be right for Saw. This movie is too much for some people. I think a drive-in is the wrong environment. Yeah.
