Review: Keeping It 'Real Steel'... A Film For The Entire Family!
The latest in the Shawn Levy collection portrays the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech; Charlie Kenton (Jackman) is a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Goyo a/k/a Lil Thor) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brut...
READ MOREReview: 'Real Steel' 'Two Jews On Film' Have Split Decision On This Action Fantasy (Video)
Two Jews on Film: By Joan Alperin Schwartz - The year is 2020. Things look pretty much the same as they do now... Except in the world of boxing. Humans have evolved to the point where they no longer get excited by watching men and women pummel each other. Score one for us.
What we have instead is 'Robot Boxing' which I have to say is...really, really cool...especially the way it's depicted in this new fantasy, action film, called 'Real Steel' directed by Shawn Levy.

Evangeline Lilly Keeping Name Of Her 'Thunder Boy' Baby A Secret
Real Steel star Evangeline Lilly's new baby boy has had a lot going on during the first five months of his life - in addition to being born outside during a frightening Hawaiian thunderstorm he's already become a world traveler and spent time living outside his grandparents' house in a tent.
Lilly chose to deliver the baby outdoors in his father's home state because there are "too many rules" at the hospital.
The former Lost star also revealed - or didn't reveal, we should say - the tot's name. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she would only say that the boy was named after the...

Evangeline Lilly 'Very Concerned' Over Her 'Hobbit' Role
Evangeline Lilly fears "purist" fans will hate her role in The Hobbit because her character didn't feature in the book and was invented solely for the fantasy film adaptation.
The Lost actress' Sylvan elf Tauriel was created especially for director Peter Jackson's upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel The Hobbit.
However, Lilly admits she is terrified Tolkien devotees won't respond well when the movie epic is released next year.

Enigmatic Final Scene Of 'LOST' Added By Network - Not Producers
The final scene shown during ABC's Sunday night broadcast of the "LOST" series finale was added to the show by the network - not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse - according to a report on Entertainment Weekly.com.
The last images of Oceanic Flight 815 wreckage strewn across the beach with only the soothing sound of crashing waves in the distance quickly became one of the show's biggest mysteries.

'LOST' Final Recap: A Fitting Ending That Should Stand Up Against Time
This might be the most difficult thing I've ever written, and I can't even figure out how to get started. LOST has changed television, and if you don't believe that, you don't understand what an incredible show it was. Even haters can realize that with its original plotline and encouragement of science fiction in a major network, it opened doors for shows outside of the box to maybe be taken more seriously than they used to. It was a community show, one that encouraged the millions of fans to think and discuss and speculate together in a way that had never been seen. It decided to cancel it...

Lost star Evangeline Lilly has found love on the set of the desert island drama once more - she has fallen for a production assistant on the hit TV show. Production on the final series wrapped earlier this year and the stars are preparing to leave Hawaii, where the show was filmed, for good.
However, Lilly will have her own personal memento to take home with her - 28-year-old production worker Norman Kali. A source tells the National Enquirer, "Lost certainly has been very good for Evie's love life."

'LOST' Recap: 'What They Died For'
This is the last week of LOST. After Sunday, there will never be a new episode of this gripping, incredible show again. They are going out on their terms, and it is difficult not to be emotional about it as a long-time fan. Last night was the final time LOST would air as a regular hour, and it set up things nicely for the two and a half hour series finale on Sunday. So let's look at the last normal episode of the best show on television, titled "What They Died For."

Evangeline Lilly's Green & Blue Fringed Frock - Hot Or Not?

'LOST' Recap: 'Across The Sea'
This is the episode of the LOST's that all the fans were breathlessly awaiting, and now that it has come and gone ... the general feeling afterward is 'meh.' The problem comes down to expectation, and with only a few episodes left of this incredible show, people are getting impatient for answers. Honestly, I don't expect them to answer half of the questions they should, because then it would just be three hours of telling the audience exposition. Still, in an episode that is said to have long reaching answers and prove they knew what they were doing from the beginning, there should actuall...

'LOST' Recap: 'The Candidate'
If you're a LOST fan, you already know this is going to be a difficult recap. The show is no stranger to intense tragedy, especially not when early on they established that anyone could die at any time. The most shocking example of this was probably when Ana Lucia and Libby died in one foul swoop, and at the hands of another Lostie at that. However, never on the show has an episode taken four characters in one pivotal scene, three of whom were regulars from season one. It was harsh, it was violent, and for the first time the fans probably do believe it when the writers say the ending of thi...

There are only three episodes of LOST left before the big series finale on Sunday, May 23rd. There's going to have to be a support group for us when it's gone. I wonder how soon after the show will the five stages of grief start. I'm already in the denial phase over and over again. In any case, the show is taking a one week vacation and will be back in May. Then it's just a one way road to the series finale. What are the LOST fans going to do? Everyone else will probably be thankful never to hear anything about polar bears on an Island again. They don't know it yet, but they're just a compl...

One of the best parts about a show like "LOST" is that even after years, fans still remember the details. For example, it may have been the end of season two when Michael shot Libby and Ana Lucia, but in season six this horrific act of betrayal is still very fresh to LOST fans. Michael tried to seek redemption in season four by going on the freighter back to the Island, and once he accomplished what he was meant to, he died in the freighter explosion. Now it seems like Michael didn't really get the redemption he's looking for, because he's still stuck on that damn Island ... this time as a ...

What will we do without this brilliant and infuriating show? Don't think about it too long, "LOST" fans. it'll hurt too much. This episode was all about everyone's favorite conman James "Sawyer" Ford, but it looks like his life was drastically different in the Sideways world. There's a surprise (ish) guest star, a tiring series of callbacks to the Triangle of Boring, and Smockey (smoke monster + Locke) trying to sedu...
