    Movie wine buff Pullman has no sense of smell

    • 16 Nov 2009

    Actor Bill Pullman was an odd choice to play a wine expert in 2008 sleeper hit Bottle Shock - because a theatre accident cost him his sense of smell. The Independence Day star admits he doesn't have a nose for good wine - because he can't tell whether a vintage is good or not by sniff alone. He tells BlogTalkRadio.com's Let's Do Lunch!, "When Bottle Shock came along I thought I was terrible for the movie but I really like the agriculture, how you grow grapes, and the soils and the rain and...

    • 06 Aug 2004

    Will Smith lived up to his reputation as an all-round entertainer this week when he delivered an impromptu concert to a crowd of more than 3,500 West End aficionados. The actor, who was attending the London premiere of his latest film 'I, Robot', was accompanied by long-time associate DJ Jazzy Jeff, and ran through a series of his biggest hits. A temporary stage in London's Leicester Square enabled the Fresh Prince to blast out classics from his back catalogue including "Men In Black and &q Read more

    Sometimes legends last longer than Truth. I paraphrase, but that's more or less the first thing we hear from the narrator - Omar Sharif, no less - as we settle down with our popcorn. It's a tip that Roland Emmerich doesn't aspire to pre-historical accuracy, or perhaps a get-out clause to answer those pedants who complain that putting dinosaurs in the same time period as a certain landmark construction site on the Nile is quite a stretch. One of many in fact. Herr Emmerich is not in the reality Read more

    Where there’s a Will…

    • 08 Jan 2007

    In The Pursuit of Happyness Will Smith does something new. He struggles. And that might be the one thing that doesn't come naturally to him. This is one of those people who makes everything look easy. He's tall (6'2), athletic and handsome, but then you could say the same for any number of movie stars - Colin Farrell, say, or Ben Affleck - and they haven't got what he's got. You can see they're working at it. 'You know the difference between you and me?' he asks Tommy Lee Jones after pulling... Read more

    Titanic tops poll for cheesiest movie line

    • 05 Dec 2004

    Leonardo DiCaprio's immortal declaration, "I'm the king of the world!" in the film Titanic has been dubbed the cheesiest line in movie history. The actor utters the words while standing with arms outstretched at the bow of the damned ocean liner during a romantic moment with co-star Kate Winslet. DiCaprio's line topped a poll of 2,000 moviegoers, who were asked to pick the cheesiest phrase in film. Patrick Swayze comes in at second place for the declaration of his love for co-star...
