After a fluke accident left chauvinist advertising executive Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) with the ability to hear what women are really thinking, he uses it to his advantage when a woman (Helen Hunt) got a promotion over him, but, romantic comedy drum-roll, he later winds up falling in love with her instead. Nancy Meyers' What Women Want was a huge hit back in 2000, and Deadline reports that an... Read More...

Mel Gibson, whom I interviewed for Venice Magazine in late 2000, was my first real childhood hero I sat down with. If you were a Gen-x male, Mel Gibson was the closest thing we had to Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Sean Connery: a guy's guy whom guys wanted to emulate and women wanted to copulate. If you were a guy who liked girls, the math in the previous equation was pretty simple: be like Mel. Sadly, Gibson's life has taken a very public turn for the worse in the last decade, since his personal legal and troubles stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest in Malibu were made public, one from which his image has yet to fully recover. It was an unfortunate fall from grace for a guy who literally had Hollywood, and the world, in the palm of his hand after sweeping the 1995 Oscars with his box office smash "Braveheart.

Although the College Football season just ended no more than three weeks ago, it’s never too early to speculate what the 2014 season will bring. Could we see another breakout star hit the national stage this year? Or will a familiar face finally fight his way into College Football stardom?
The Quarterback has become one of the most diverse positions in College and Professional Football today, with more and more gifted athletes succeeding at the position each season. There are six Qb’s who will cement their name among College Football’s elite in 2014, and could lead their to a national championship:
Honorable Mentions:
Taysom Hill, Byu (2,938 passing yards in 2013, 53% completion rate, 19 TDs; 1,344 rushing yards, 10 TDs)
The Dual-Threat Sophomore held his coming out party against Texas, rushing for over 250 yards and three scores. If his accuracy improves, defenses will be having fits all season long.

Sarah Silverman nails the meaning of “diva,” Misha Collins talks threesomes, Scott Lively says Russian anti-gay violence is actually masc vs. fem gays
Winona Ryder says that she’s sworn to secrecy on the sequel to Beetlejuice, “But it sounds like it might be happening.”
While this has been rumored for a while, this should be treated as a huge spoiler for The Day of the Doctor.
Because everything is bigger in Texas, including bigotry, not only is the Texas National Guard refusing to process ID cards for same-sex spouses of military members, they’re also refusing to process “with dependent” housing allowances for couples, forcing them to travel to federal facilities. This is just spiteful – once the IDs are issued and the couple is registered as married by the United States military, not processing their federal benefits that are already due to them is cruel. I’m not sure...

Did cowboys have American accents? Seeing as they were only recently settled in America from Britain, should Hollywood think more Colin Firth than Clint Eastwood?
The American accent, like the British, consists of several regional variations. Some of these are likely to have evolved in part from English regional accents (eg the southern American accent has echoes of archaic Yorkshire pronunciations). A distinctive American accent was almost certainly established by the late colonial era (1750s to the 1770s); this is borne out by accounts from English travellers.
During the period covered in most westerns (1860-90), large numbers of recent immigrants from Europe and elsewhere had moved into the west. But to be fair to Hollywood, this is reflected in a lot of cowboy movies: John Ford, in particular, included Irish, German and Scottish characters in his films,...

"The Change-Up" opens today in theaters nationwide, offering the moviegoing public a body-swap comedy in case they're not interested in rising for "Apes." Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds star as two pals — one a lawyer and family man, the other a man-child cad — who pine for the other's daily existence, only to find their wishes granted with disastrous results.
Honestly, there aren't a lot of people in my life that I'd want to swap lives with. I already blog about movies for a living, so hey, things aren't so bad. But that doesn't mean there aren't people in the fictional movie space that I wouldn't trade places with for a day. There are a lot of those people.
Check out the top five movie characters I'd body-swap with after the jump!
