The movie Duplicity starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts hit theaters this weekend. In the film, Owen, a former MI-6 agent, and Roberts, a former CIA agent, work together on a project, but neither feels they can completely trust each other. The word duplicity means to conceal one's true intentions by deceptive words or actions, and the title seems very fitting. The release is sure to be one of the more popular movies of the spring, and it got Starpulse thinking about the best spy movies.

One of the most entertaing spy movies is Arnold Schwarzenegger's True Lies, where he plays ...

Not too long ago Warner Bros. president of production, Jeff Robinov, stated, "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead." Apparently, Robinov won't even look at a script with a female lead. Is this man spewing forth misogynistic quackery, or is he, as a businessman, simply stating the obvious - that women no longer come with built-in audiences, opening weekend numbers, and box office success?

Ticking off the names of guaranteed male money makers is easy: Will Smith, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, and even behind-the-camera ...

With every surplus of holiday cheer comes a few Scrooges. Some can't stand all the mushiness, or perhaps they just want to have something blow up to go along with their eggnog. Maybe they just like to sit on the edge of their seats instead of on Santa's lap. Fair enough.

For those people, there have been a few real holiday film gems over the years. Some are disturbing, such as Santa going on a killing spree. Others are entertaining, like Die Hard's Christmas party gone awry.

Part Three - Bah Humbug- Action/Drama/Adventure

But many don't have any holiday thematic link at all,...

Universal City, July 25, 2007 – The workplace happenings of a popular live comedy show reach new levels of hilarity when 30 Rock: Season 1 comes to DVD on September 4 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

A former CIA agent who acted as a consultant on spy film The Good Shepherd has blasted the critics who dismissed the film as "boring."

The epic spy film charts the rise of the CIA and stars Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie and its director Robert De Niro - but some film critics bemoaned the movie as slow-going and lacking in action.

However, Milt Bearden can't believe the reviews, insisting it's a believable look at the spy word that is far removed from the usual glossy Hollywood fare.

Speaking at the DVD launch for The Good Shepherd, he says, "I was surprised. This is an authent...

Robert De Niro shocked a KGB agent by challenging him to a boxing match - and knocking the spy out in just three rounds. The actor, who played a fighter in the 1980 movie Raging Bull, met with a group of Russian agents while researching for spy film The Good Shepherd. And they were eager to see if his boxing skills were real or just movie magic.

Former CIA agent Milt Bearden, who acted as a consultant on the spy movie, recalls, "One of the KGB guys asked Bob (Robert) if he could still box, and would he want to step in the ring. Bob agreed. And one of the other agents asked me 'What do...

Robert De Niro met with KGB spies and fired guns with Taliban soldiers, according to ex-CIA agents hired to help him research movie The Good Shepherd. Milt Bearden and Robert Baer have let slip the trips they took De Niro on while he prepared to make the spy thriller.

Speaking at De Niro's TriBeCa Film Festival in New York, Bearden tells the New York Daily News how De Niro had a sauna with former KGB colonels and generals in Russia, where he was whipped with birches by "a nine-foot-tall masseur with a tank tattoo". Bearden says, "He'd say to De Niro, 'Do you love me?' Bob didn't."

Robert De Niro wants his Cold War movie The Good Shepherd to be the first of a trilogy of films about the conflict. The actor/director claims the movie has turned him into a Cold War fanatic, after first becoming interested in the rivalry between the US and Soviet Union as a child.

De Niro says, "I'm fascinated by the Cold War. Especially the Cold War in Berlin. As a kid, I was here a few times and went to East Berlin. I found the whole period amazing. It's fascinating stuff. Everybody has a fascination with it. I'd love to do a second part, from 1961 when the Berlin Wall went up to 1...

Matt Damon enjoyed working with Robert De Niro as director in new movie The Good Shepherd, except when he was made to mud wrestle - naked. The drama tells the story of the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) thorough the eyes of Damon's character, Edward Wilson, and also stars Angelina Jolie and Alec Baldwin.

However, while Damon has lavished praise on De Niro for making him a "much better actor", the 26-year-old detested his mud-fighting experience, which was part of his character's initiation process to join an elite college fraternity.

He says, "It was cold. It was...

"There is no textbook formula for artful cinematography," says Russ Alsobrook, ASC who chairs the organization's Awards Committee. "It takes talent and skill to master a complex craft, as well as a collaborative spirit. These five, amazingly talented indivi...

Matt Damon has praised Robert De Niro's directing abilities insisting he's a much better actor after working with his idol on new movie The Good Shepherd. Damon admits the experience of taking guidance from De Niro made him realize how many actors are rewarded for overacting - because the star insists on keeping everything simple.

Damon says, "That stuff gets rewarded a lot of the time. People stand up and cheer for so and so in this performance, and you're just going, 'What the f**k was that?' That's why you have to just be thinking about the process... You can tell somebody how to w...

Night At The Museum topped the crowded U.S. Christmas box office, earning $43.2 million during the four-day holiday beginning last Friday. Musical Dreamgirls was also a star performer, grossing $8.7 million on its national opening day on Monday, which was enough to score the number seven spot.

Rocky Balboa finished third with $17 million and spy drama The Good Shepherd enjoyed a solid opening with $14.1 million, capturing fourth place. Another wide release, the inspirational sports story We Are Marshall, took in $9.7 million for a fifth place finish.

The Pursuit Of Happyness con...

2006 was a whirlwind year for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (aka "Brangelina"). The pair begun the year by announcing that Angelina was pregnant with Brad's child; and finished the year by continuing on with their humanitarian efforts across the globe.

The pregnancy announcement came in January, and shortly after Pitt officially adopted Jolie's two adopted children, Maddox, four and Zahara, one. Jolie's friend, Fugees singer Wyclef Jean, was one of the first to congratulate her. The couple visited Haiti on a UN Goodwill trip, and Jean's Yele Haiti Foundation charity is one that Jolie...

"Rocky Balboa" will compete with three new releases: the Ben Stiller comedy Night at the Museum, the Matthew McConaughey sports drama We Are Marshall, and the Matt Damon spy thriller The Good Shepherd.

The Good Shepherd marks venerable Robert De Niro's long-awaited sophomore outing in the director's chair following his well-received 1993 coming-of-ager, A Bronx Tale. The pic, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola, embodies an epic history of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Continue...

Matt Damon is urging Oscar voters to "get it right" and give director Martin Scorsese his first Academy Award or risk turning the big show into a farce. Damon, who worked with the legendary movie maker on his most successful film The Departed, feels it's high time Scorsese was honored by the Academy and voters should overlook him again at their peril.

The actor is so determined to help Scorsese pick up an Oscar he's campaigning for him over Robert De Niro, who directed Damon in new film The Good Shepherd.

He says, "Marty's such a great, great director. He really wants it (Oscar) ...

Angelina Jolie felt terrible when she realized she was pregnant on the set of new movie The Good Shepherd because she'd have to confess all to director Robert De Niro. The actress recalls feeling faint on the set and as De Niro rushed towards her with a banana, she realized she'd have to let him in on her little secret.

She says, "I fell faint in the middle of singing Christmas carols (in a scene) and then I felt really bad. I felt like I was confessing to The Godfather that I'd done something terribly wrong. I said, `Bob, I think I'm pregnant.' He was like a man who has had many, man...

Movie icon Robert De Niro is considering hanging up his director's hat once he's revisited his current movie The Good Shepherd. The star insists he's almost done as a moviemaker after taking charge of just three films - but he's keen to make a sequel to his latest project before retiring his director's chair.

He reveals, "I'm not gonna direct many more movies. I directed three and I think that's it for me. But I'd like to do a second part of this story from 1961 to the fall of the Berlin Wall. I would love to revisit the characters and see how they wind up. That's really something tha...

Angelina Jolie has won her dream role as author Ayn Rand's iconic heroine Dagney Taggart. Jolie, a longtime fan of Russian-born Rand, has been quietly campaigning to play Taggart in new film "Atlas Shrugged," and now she's landed the role, according to trade newspaper Daily Variety.
