Pitt & Denzel to team up

" Super 8 " (2011) is a J.J. Abrams film with the DNA of a Steven Spielberg tale. Set in 1979, before the home video revolution put video cameras in the hands of movie-mad kids, this is a monster movie adventure powered by creative kids, a love of movies, and an authentic foundation of mystery and wonder as seen from the perspective of schoolkids old enough to make their own zombie movie on super 8 film and young enough to get so excited by it. He tends to lose the kids in the pyrotechnics, but he sure gets some good performances from them. More at Videodrone here . " Omagh " (2004), a compelling dramatization of the vicious 1998 bombing of the Northern Ireland town of Omagh, was co-written and produced by Paul Greengrass and is directed by Peter Travis in the restless, intimate docu-realist style of Greengrass' earlier British films. Gerald McSorley, so often a hard authority figure, is tender as a mourning father seeking justice and finding instead a conspirac...

John Adams: Brad Pitt, meet James Hahn

James Hahn was discussing his golfing comeback with a reporter when a colleague interrupted behind the practice green at Fox Den Country Club on Wednesday afternoon. "It's the Asian Brad Pitt," the passing golfer said with a laugh. "That's what they call him." Actually, I didn't know that. But I could roll with it. There are similarities though Hahn, at 30, is considerably younger. He's 6-foot-1, 180 pounds. Pitt is 5-11 and could weigh anywhere between 160 and 200, depending on his role or Angelina Jolie's mood. While Hahn is a nice enough looking guy, I never noticed any females staring during the course of a 15-minute interview. And perhaps it should be noted that a woman didn't give him the nickname. "Travis Brasher called me that when we were doing a Travis Mathew (golf apparel) photo shoot," said an amused Hahn, who will tee off early this morning in the News Sentinel Open.
