The pair are now set for a big screen reunion on upcoming thriller, Inherent Vice. The film is based on Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel of the same name, with Phoenix playing a pot-smoking private detective named Doc Sportello working a missing persons case in 1970s Los Angeles.

Director Wes Anderson and his actor pal Owen Wilson have their parents to thank for all their success - each borrowed $2,000 from their fathers to make their first movie together, Bottle Rocket.

The pair met during their college years and after discovering a common love of cinema, decided to try to make it big in Hollywood together.

Anderson and The Wedding Crashers funnyman then asked their parents for cash to fund their plans for Bottle Rocket - which came out in 1994 and served as the directorial and film debut for both stars.

Anderson recalls to The Hollywood Reporter, "Owen and I ha...

Karina Smirnoff and Owen Wilson are not Hollywood's newest and hottest couple, according to E! Online.

Rumors have been swirling that the "Dancing With The Stars" pro and the actor have been spending some quality time together recently.

But a source told E! News: "There is nothing there. They ran into each other once randomly. They are friends but not dating at all."

In December Karina and her baseballer boyfriend Brad Penny called off their engagement. Prior to that she was involved with her DWTS co-star Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Wilson split up with girlfriend Jade Duell back in June. The...

Movie star Owen Wilson's friends are laughing off reports suggesting he's dating dancer Karina Smirnoff, insisting the pair has only met once - at a party.

New tabloid reports suggest the Dancing With The Stars regular and the Midnight in Paris star have become an item after splitting from their respective partners, baseball star Brad Penny and Jade Duell, who gave birth to Wilson's son, Ford, last year.

But sources insist the rumors are completely unfounded.

One insider tells WENN, "This is false. She (Smirnoff) was introduced to Owen at a party. I don't think that qualifies as dating."...

Blonde beauty Rachel McAdams stars in the upcoming film "The Vow" about a man (Channing Tatum) who tries to win back his new bride's heart (McAdams) after she loses her memory in a tragic car accident. It hits theaters Feb. 10.

In "The Big Year," three fanatical bird-watchers (Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black) spend an entire year competing to spot the highest number of species as El Nino sends an extraordinary variety of rare breeds flying up into the United States. However, they quickly discover that there are more important things than coming out on top of the competition.

Why do we love R-rated comedy? Answer: The swearing is better. This sex is more comical. The shenanigans are more extreme. What makes any R-rated comedy better? Answer: Children.

The addition of children to any hilarious movie only makes that movie more hilarious. Having kids along for the ride takes all the things we love about these films and intensifies them. Having a kid in the car during a chase scene makes the danger more real and more frightening (hence the title of this column). Swearing, the lifeblood of any R-rated comedy, seems all the more taboo when it’s done in front of kids....

Gabriel Macht is a genius.

It isn't in the conventional sense. Measuring him by his IQ - whatever that may be - wouldn't do him justice. Neither would examining his lengthy filmography of over twenty years. Yet spend a few minutes in his company, and it becomes quickly apparent that he is brilliant. It's in his verbal acuity, which would make many professional writers envious. It's in the thought he gives to even the most casual of conversations. He's just plain smarter than you or me.

He's not the type to need to prove that to anyone. Yet with the success of USA Network's original...

Known far and wide by adults for his hilarious stand up work via the famed 'Blue Collar Comedy Tour,' Larry the Cable Guy also cornered the kid market with the inspired voicing of lovable tow truck Mater in Pixar’s "Cars" franchise. As the goofy and rusty sidekick to Owen Wilson’s slick Lightning McQueen, Larry helped create one of the most beloved and memorable characters in the Pixar universe. Now the Mater heavy sequel "Cars 2" is hitting DVD and Blu-ray (streets Nov. 1 from Disney Home Entertainment) - featuring the sassy truck and best friend McQueen heading for Japan and Europe for ...

"Cars 2" follows racing legend Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and his trusty sidekick, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), as they secure their passports and take part in the biggest race on the planet.

As the first-ever World Grand Prix approaches, cars from every continent prepare for the ultimate competition. But who will have what it takes to become the fastest car on the planet? Just as Lightning McQueen edges up to the starting line, however, his old pal Mater gets sidetracked on a top-secret spy mission that takes him from Japan to Europe as the entire world watches.

Thankfully Mater's ...

You've got some seriously diverse choices at the theater this weekend: "Footloose" (Julianne Hough), "The Big Year" (Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson", and The Thing (scary!!!)!

So what's your poison? You'll find me at "Footloose" ... obviously!

Two Jews on Flim - By Joan Alperin Schwartz: What does a Fork tailed Flycatch, a Yellow Crested Finch and a Pink Footed Goose have in common with Jack Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin? They are all in a new comedy called 'The Big Year', directed by David Frankel (Devil Wears Prada)

The Big Year refers to a real life competition where birders (people who are obsessed with our feathery friends) race to see, who can spot the most species of birds, within a calendar year.

Sounds exciting? Well if it does, then this is the film for you to see.

When 'The Big Year' begins, we meet thre...

Starting today's cavalcade of reviews of recent home releases is the New Line comedy Hall Pass, which recently bowed in an "extended cut" Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack. Here's my review.

The Movie

If you saw the commercials, you pretty much got the gist of Hall Pass. Yes, it's another comedy about some guys (in this case, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) who go out and get themselves into R-rated trouble. I thought there were too many of these movies before this, and having watched this, I still hold to that opinion.

There are a few things going for it, namely that there's a decent cast he...

For the last five years, Pixar has been on quite a roll, churning out one reliably solid animated film every summer. The last four have won Oscars for Best Animated Feature, and the last three (WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3) are, in my mind, stone cold classics. This winning streak and reputation for quality are what make Pixar's latest, "Cars 2," not just disappointing, but puzzling.

The hero of the first "Cars" film, a race car voiced by Owen Wilson, returns to Radiator Springs to spend some time with his best friend Mater, aka Larry the Cable Guy. If there's any time left over, he might ...

Owen Wilson returns as the voice of Lightning McQueen in Cars 2. Unfortunately, since the original Cars, Paul Newman passed away. He was the voice of Doc, and Doc is now gone from the world of Radiator Springs. Wilson remembered his costar fondly while promoting the sequel.

“On the first one I did get to work one day with Paul Newman,” Wilson said. “We went to New York and got to record with him and it was great. He actually had some questions about, 'I don't know if this would really...' because he was so knowledgeable about racing. And then John [Lasseter] took what he was saying and wen...

Owen Wilson broke up with his baby mama because he wanted to play the field, according to reports.

Owen Wilson and Jade Duell welcomed their first child into the world just five months ago, but the actor has already given his baby mama the boot! According to reports, Owen and Jade broke up because Owen wanted to play the field -- for both teams.

"Owen wanted the freedom to do what he wanted with his friends, both male and female, while remaining a family unit with Jade and the baby," a friend told the National Enquirer.

"But Jade wasn't willing to go along with that, so Owen decided t...

VROOM! VROOM! VRRRROOOOOOOMMMM! Speeding in at an uncontrollable velocity following 2006’s hit, Cars 2 steers in from a different direction with the same side-swiping attitude, yet, in an interesting manner covering some of our big blue marble, while innocently tapping into one of our contemporary debates.

Star racecar ‘Lighting McQueen’ (Owen Wilson) and his best friend, the goof-ball tow truck ‘Mater’ (Larry the Cable Guy), jump-start a new adventure to exotic places stretching across our world! The duo are joined by a hometown pit crew from Radiator Springs when they head overseas to ...

By Joan Alperin Schwartz: 'Cars 2' is the new 3D wonder from director John Lasseter. John and his crew at Pixar have once again proven why they are the best at what they do.

To really enjoy this film, you have to put aside any ideas that cars can't talk, can't have friends and girlfriends, can't experience human emotions and can't be killer spies. (Something the other half of Two Jews On Film, John my husband, wasn't able to do).

Anyway, the story goes like this...Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is the snazzy, red, highly acclaimed racing car. After winning four Pisto...

The buddy comedy "Hall Pass" from the Farrelly brothers stars Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson as a couple of married guys who persuade their wives to give them the ultimate "get out of jail free" card: a marriage "hall pass."

The agreement gives them free reign to behave like bachelors -- free from the rules and confines of fidelity, responsibility, and married life -- for one week. But soon the guys find that the small town where everybody knows them -- and their wives -- isn't very conducive to chasing tail.

And making matters worse, it turns out to be harder than they thought to accept ...

Rachel McAdams is one of our favorite leading ladies from romantic movies like The Notebook, Wedding Crashers and The Time Traveler’s Wife. She’s in Woody Allen’s new romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, but this time she’s not the lover.

“I think that I try to go into everything with a fresh view,” McAdams said. “That’s what’s so great about being an actor is you get to explore the world and people and relationships in different ways in each film, hopefully. Otherwise I get very bored. So I guess I go in and try to allow that to influence me. This was a totally new take on love that I had n...

I know critics are supposed to be objective (if that's even possible) but in the case of Woody Allen's new film, 'Midnight In Paris' it's going to be really hard. I thought it was one of the most beautiful, original, magical and romantic films I've seen in a very long time. It completely grabbed my heart.

The film opens with images of Paris...beautiful, moving images. The lights of the city, the empty streets, the gardens, museums, cafes, flea markets, parks and cathedrals. The montage goes on for quite a while...No actors...just visuals of this magnificent city....

And then we meet ...

Cannes, France, was the place to be this week as tons of celebrities kicked off their new films and smoozed with fellow actors, actresses, directors, models and the rich and famous.

Israeli model Bar Refaeli hit the red carpet for the screening of "The Beaver." Bar and Leonardo DiCaprio recently ended their relationship. They got together in 2005 and split four years later. They rekindled their relationship, but now have broken up for good.

I still have not had the opportunity to see the much talked about “Thor,” which seems to be receiving mixed reviews from everyone I know. Some people I’ve spoken to have loved it, while others have despised it, so I will have to see it for myself soon.

Last week though, I checked out the indie drama “Hesher” starring Rainn Wilson, Natalie Portman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt which I loved. It’s definitely not your typical story of recovery from grief, mainly because of the character Hesher, played by Gordon Levitt. The squatter invites himself into the home of Paul (Wilson) and his son TJ ...

Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams attended the "Midnight in Paris" photocall in France today. The latest Woody Allen offering will open the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival.

The romantic comedy centers on a young couple engaged to be married that experiences a profound transformation during their visit to Paris. An idealistic man with a romanticized view of the city finds that there's plenty of truth to that old adage about the grass being greener on the other side.

Meanwhile, a representative for Michael Sheen has shot down rumors he's set to wed Rachel after she was photographed wearin...

Scarlett Johansson's representative has dismissed rumors the actress is pregnant with her first child.

The star was snapped jogging with rumored lover Sean Penn and pal Owen Wilson recently and one photo appears to show Johansson with a small belly bump, prompting speculation she's expecting.

However, her spokesman tells People.com the claims are not true, insisting the pictures are "misleading" - because Johansson is "in the best shape of her life" thanks to working out for 2012 movie The Avengers.

Her rep tells People.com, "Scarlett is not pregnant. She's been training for The Aveng...

The Cars sequel will feature a touching tribute to late movie icon Paul Newman, who voiced the role of Doc Hudson in the 2006 original.

Newman's car character will not appear in the new movie, but Newman and Doc will be honored, according to director John Lasseter.

He tells the Los Angeles Times' 24 Frames blog, "We have a lovely tribute to Paul in the movie, but we didn't feel it would be right to include him or the character."

Newman's Hudson was a former champion racecar before a terrible accident ended its career. He became a doctor, life coach and elder of Radiator Springs - the for...

Disney's animated gnomes have been forced to give up first place at the box office to Owen Wilson and his sex-crazed buddies following a weekend ticket recount.

Family favorite "Gnomeo & Juliet" was ruled the weekend number one on Sunday, but the estimates were wrong and now the Farrelly Brothers comedy "Hall Pass" has debuted in the top spot.

When the final box office totals were tabulated on Monday, "Hall Pass" came out with $100,000 sales more than the 3-D film, which took in $13.4 million in its third week of release.

The news will be a blow to Elton John, who co-created the score fo...
