Scarlett Johansson For Cuaron's Sci-Fi Action Movie Gravity
Before watching Iron Man 2 I'd have scoffed at the notion of Scarlett Johansson doing an Action Movie. She's just never seemed like the Action type and, while I still think her talents would be better put to use somewhere else, after watching her own every Action sequence as Black Widow we know she can totally pull it off. So, by the way, does Hollywood. Predictably, that now means she's jumping feet first into the lucrative girls kicking ass genre. The NY Daily News says Scarlett has made...

Angelina Jolie Says 'Salt' Is The Best Action Movie She's Done
Angelina Jolie drew a big crowd at the San Diego Comic-Con as she arrived dressed up in a pretty tight and sexy black outfit to plug her brand new film Salt , which opens today, but there’s still not much she can say about the big mystery spy thriller that leaves its main character’s motivations obscured in all its advertising. Even to the gathered throngs, she had to dance around going into too much detail, but she did suggest that Salt is the best Action Movie she’s ever...

The trade paper commented that the studio appears to be "intent on taking advantage of its subsidiary's storytelling abilities." It noted that some of the...

Box Office - 'Inception' Leads 'Salt' On Friday

First, let's deal with Inception . Most Movies only hold 65% of their opening weekend audience if there's excellent...
