At 82, Clint Eastwood is still very much involved in the movie making business. This weekend he plays an aging baseball scout in "Trouble With The Curve."

Gus Lobel (Eastwood) is losing his sight and hits the road with his estranged daughter Mickey (Amy Adams) to pursue a promising young ballplayer. On their roadtrip from Georgia to North Carolina, the father and daughter learn just how much they have in common.

Eastwood also keeps his plate full directing. His recent films include "Invictus," "Hereafter," "J. Edgar" and "A Star is Born."

Some stars hit their 70s and quit acting (cough....

Robert Duvall is opening up his Virginia home for a campaign fundraiser for presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The actor will host a party for Romney donors at his Middleburg mansion on September 6 with the politician's wife Ann Romney as the event's special guest.

Tickets to the bash start at $2,500.

Many celebrities, including George Clooney, Morgan Freeman, Beyonce and Gwen Stefani, have rallied behind Democrat incumbent Barack Obama, while Duvall has chosen to back Republican Romney.

Billy Bob Thornton will be giving movie fans an intimate look at his tough childhood in new movie Jayne Mansfield's Car - he modelled his onscreen dad, Robert Duvall, after his real-life father.

The dark family comedy centres on three World War II veteran brothers and their struggle to connect with their cold and cruel parent, Jim Caldwell.

Thornton directs and stars in the project he wrote, as one of the siblings, and the Bad Santa star admits he based Duvall's character on his own emotionless dad, William Raymond.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference following the movie's premie...

A few months ago, we brought you a list of our Top 10 ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes. With another New Year’s marathon approaching on SyFy, we decided there were just too many good installments missing from the previous list. Here, in no particular order, are the rest of the Top 25 episodes, in our book.

‘The Long Morrow’ – Season Five – Jan. 10, 1964

By the fifth season, the show had gotten a little stiff, the writing sometimes forced. But even imperfect episodes like this one strike an emotional chord. The plot is actually quite brilliant: An astronaut decides to take on a 40-year-mission int...

The actress will follow in the footsteps of Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood and Helen Mirren when she's honored at the 23rd annual gala in California in January.

Film Festival Chairman Harold Matzner says, "Glenn Close has the gift of mesmerizing an audience whenever she performs. Since her film debut in 1982, Close's ability to capture the essence of a character is unparalleled, be it a femme fatale, a notorious stalker or the trusted aide ...

Billy Bob Thornton has no plans to quit Hollywood because he would "go crazy" if he was forced to endure a quiet life of retirement.

The Monster's Ball star, 55, refuses to give up his career after 30 years of acting and insists relaxing on a sunny beach is his worst nightmare.

He tells Britain's Celebs on Sunday magazine, "I think about giving up probably three or four times a day but no, not yet. Don't put me out to pasture. Robert Duvall is not retired! Sometimes I get fed up, but I couldn't retire - I can't even go on a vacation. I would go crazy. The idea of going to the Bahamas an...

British monarchy drama The King's Speech and boxing film The Fighter are leading the nominations in the motion picture categories at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, earning four nods each.

Both movies will compete for the coveted Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture prize, alongside Black Swan, The Kids Are All Right and Facebook-inspired film The Social Network. The King's Speech star Colin Firth is among nominees in the best actor category, which also saw nods to Jeff Bridges (True Grit),

Robert Duvall (Get Low), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Jam...

Natalie Portman's hopes of Oscar glory for her movie Black Swan have been given a major boost by Broadcast Film Critics Association - the film has landed a record 12 nominations for the January prize giving.

The psychological thriller scored one more Critics' Choice Movie Awards nomination than The King's Speech and True Grit on Monday, while Christopher Nolan's mind-bending Inception will compete in 10 categories.

Colin Firth, James Franco, Jeff Bridges, Robert Duvall, Jesse Eisenberg and Ryan Gosling will fight it out for the Best Actor prize, while Portman will go up against other le...

The action thriller “Salt” turned out to be more complex than I initially thought. Promotional material made the film seem like it would be a run-of-the-mill rogue spy on the run story. Without spoiling the details, there is additional intrigue surrounding CIA agent Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie), and the accusation that she’s a Russian mole. Thankfully the filmmakers don’t reveal her motivations too early on, keeping them close to the chest until the final act.

Jolie convincingly plays a strong female heroine, however as an actress I don’t feel like she adds much flavor to the role itsel...

Robert Duvall had the cast and crew on new movie Get Low cowering in fear whenever they were around him - because The Godfather icon was an intimidating "time bomb", according to co-star Bill Murray.

The actor admits he was struck by Duvall's presence on the film set - but he refused to walk on egg shells around the star like the rest of the crew and tried to engage him in some playful banter.

He explains, "(There was) tension around the set. This guy is a time bomb and the ticking is audible. And so I just remember being on the set and the first day - this guy's very serious... people a...

Bill Murray's new film Get Low has given the actor a novel idea - have his funeral while he's still alive.

Co-star Robert Duvall's character does just that in the film, and that has got Murray thinking.

He explains, "I like the idea of having your funeral before you're gone. You can hear all these memoriums about yourself... It would be sort of a baby comedy roast. You can get it over with and then you'd have a party.

"Suffering is the difference between reality and what you think reality is, so that could get your suffering done before your final hour."

Bill Murray made a public appearance at the Austin premiere of his latest film. "Get Low", a comedy in which he plays a funeral director trying to plan a man’s funeral party while he’s still alive, screened at the South by Southwest film festival on March 17. On stage at a Q&A following the film, Murray mugged and joked with the thousands of people who saw "Get Low" for the first time.

“It’s really a pleasure to come out with this film, because Austin’s not a safe town for people like us,” Murray said. “When we come out with a film like this, we’ve got two or three hours where we’re safe a...

In Four Christmases, a crafty couple run the Christmas Day gauntlet by racing to visit their divorced parents' four separate households in this Vince Vaughn/Reese Witherspoon comedy that proves the holidays are no time for relaxing.

Brad (Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust -- big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are canceled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter....

Freeways are clogged. Terror stalks our cities. At shops and restaurants, the customer is seldom right. Pressures of big-city life can anger anyone. But Bill Foster is more than angry. He’s out to get even.

Foster abandons his gridlocked car – license plate D-FENS – on the hottest day of the year and walks straight into an urban nightmare both absurdly funny and shatteringly violent.

In "Falling Down" Academy Award winner Michael Douglas is Foster, an ordinary guy at war with the frustrations of daily life. Fellow Oscar winner Robert Duvall is the savvy cop obsessed with stopping...

So, have you seen this year's comedy about an overweight, overzealous, loser-y mall cop who takes his job way too seriously and is hopelessly in love with a fellow shopping center employee? If you're not sure whether I'm referring to January's hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop or the newest Seth Rogen comedy Observe and Report (in theaters now), don't be too hard on yourself: Both flicks have eerily similar plotlines. This isn't the first time two films with the same subject matter have been released within a year of one another; Hollywood has a talent for redundancy (see: recycling and ripping off)...

Acting legends Marlon Brando and Robert Duvall lightened the mood on the set of The Godfather by flashing their backsides at other cast and crew members.

James Caan, who played Brando's onscreen son Santino 'Sonny' Corleone in the 1972 movie, reveals the on-set pranks in a new picture book, called the Godfather Family Album.

And he insists Brando was the ultimate joker: "They're standing at the wedding ceremony when they posed for that picture, and there are 500 extras, old ladies, old men, kids, everybody. Bobby Duvall sees the ultimate moon. He and Brando had a race to drop th...

In recent years, it's become hip to pick on John Travolta for his movie choices. It's strange, considering not many actors can say that they've starred in three truly iconic films (see numbers 1, 3, and 6 on the "best" list). He's also achieved longevity that many actors can only dream of, due in large part to his genuine, "good guy" persona. So, sure, he's made some bad films. Who hasn't? His good movies still outnumber the bad ones.

Since John is putting on the dog in the new animated hit, "Bolt," we thought it would be a good time to take a look at some notable films from Travolta's...

Whenever a new trend in Hollywood emerges all the celebrities need to have a piece of it! They will throw their assistants out in the streets if they aren't the first to be pictured with the hot new trend! UGG boots, Toyota Hybrids, Hermes Birken bags, skinny jeans and now Absinthe. It's the drink of choice for lots of celebrities since its recent comeback after being banned for almost a century. Lucid is one of the hottest labels to bring Absinthe back onto the market. Drinking it makes you feel a little rebellious and bad ass. Hollywood loves edgy!

Absinthe is a distilled, highly al...

Harrison Ford is out to save the tiger with a little help from the World Bank. The star joined World Bank head Robert Zoellick at a National Zoo press conference in Washington, D.C. on Monday, held to promote conservationism.

The World Bank is teaming up with a number of celebrities in a bid to highlight the desperate plight of the endangered tiger.

Ford, who is famous for his support of environmental causes and efforts to protect wildlife migratory patterns, said, "I'm here to celebrate the World Bank's plan to form a global alliance of conservation partners, to work with the tig...

Memorial Day commemorates members of the armed forces who died in war or any military action. Americans often celebrate Memorial Day by watching the Indy 500, going shopping, or having family picnics. Why not spend this Memorial Day thinking about the soldiers who gave their lives to the United States by watching a war film?

The staff here at Starpulse.com got together and came up with a list of some of our favorite war movies. Here they are in no particular order:

Band of Brothers (2001) - Yes, we know it's technically a mini-series, but it's so good we had to include it. The ...

Movie star Robert Duvall has sold his House of Jasmines hotel in Argentina. The actor and his wife Luciana ran the boutique retreat in Salta, and welcomed celebrity guests like Brad Pitt and Richard Gere to the hotel, which sits in the foothills of the Andes.

Details of why the Duvalls sold the 120-year-old ranch building and for what price have not been disclosed.

Everyone basically accepts that the entertainment biz is youth oriented. But in spite of the Hollywood bias, there are some older actors who keep at it. Below is a top 10 list of older folks who are still making it in showbiz (and we dare say these actors could teach Hollywood's current young whippersnappers a thing or two about how to have a long career).

10. Ellen Albertini Dow, age 89.

What's that? Her name doesn't ring a bell? Well, trust us, you know who she is. She had to make our list because at almost 90 Ellen is still lining up project after project. With her cute voice, b...

Happy Birthday to "Alias" actor Bradley Cooper (1975), shock rocker Marilyn Manson (1969), Dynasty actress Pamela Sue Martin (1953), "The Love Boat" bartender Ted Lange (1948), screen actress Diane Keaton (1946), Japanese animator Miyazaki Hayao (1941), prolific actor Robert Duvall (1931), and TV "Superman" George Reeves (1914; d. 1959).

As the year nears its close, have you really seen all the 2007 movies that count? The film buffs at WENN locked themselves away in a dark room with a week's supply of popcorn and warm soda and decided to review the last 12 month's hits and misses at the cinema.

We battled over 300, chuckled about Knocked Up, went native as we recalled Into The Wild's highlights and then dressed up for Hairspray - and we came up with the definitive naughty and nice lists.

So, if you're keen to check out one of the year's best films and avoid the worst, read on...

"I fell in love with my husband at first sight. I'll never get divorced. Never." Catherine Zeta-Jones insists she'll never leave Michael Douglas.

"I call him Wacko. He worked hard at being crazy." Robert Duvall quickly coined a nickname for his prank-loving We Own The Night co-star, Joaquin Phoenix.
