Exactly what qualifies as a cult classic is a point of contention to many. Urban Dictionary describes it in a variety of ways. Including the concise, “A movie that is weird as f*ck.” Oddly, that source of love and mistakes Wikipedia may have the finest definition, claiming a cult movie to be “a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.” Adding pointedly, “(They) have limited but very special, noted appeal.” A movie can gain success and be a cult movie, it just has to be a certain kind of picture, one that breeds ravenous individuals to view them again and again, forming instant friendships with strangers who share that passion. Basically, a cult movie is like an obscenity, you know it when you see it. In continuation of the retrospective of the decade that was in cinema, these are the Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade, not to be confused with the most popular.

Just under a year ago, Carey Mulligan was sleeping quite soundly at night. Then she found out An Education was going to play at the Sundance Film Festival. The weight of shouldering her first lead suddenly hit her. "I started freaking out that if everybody hated it, it would be all my fault," she explains. "I had these anxiety dreams – very basic anxiety dreams – where Geoff Gilmore, the [former] director of Sundance put me in a car and made me leave for being disappointing. In Park City, in the main high street, he gets this black car and he's like, 'Get in. You've got to go. Everyone thought it was going to be really good!'"

Fortunately, everybody did think it was good. Better than good, as it goes. Winner of the Audience Award, An Education has since become one of the most talked-about films this year. What's more, the London-born Mulligan has become the centre of attention for her breakthrough role as Jenny, a 16-year-old schoolgirl who falls under the spell of an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) in 1960s suburban England. Already nominated for a British Independent Film Award for Best Actress, an Oscar nod is now a very real possibilit y (Ladbroke's make her second favourite at 5-1 to win Best Actress, behind Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia). No wonder Time magazine recently proclaimed, "Carey Mulligan: a star is born".

The Forgotten gets more episodes, Let’s Dance scrapped

Sorry Eastwick fans, but you should’ve seen it coming.

__________________________________________________________________
via James Hibberd’s the live feed:
ABC has picked up five more episodes of Tuesday night’s “The Forgotten” while deciding against ordering additional episodes of “Eastwick.”
In addition, ABC is yanking the planned upcoming debut of reality show “Let’s Dance.”
__________________________________________________________________


With the exception of scrapping plans for the only just recently announced to begin with “Let’s Dance”, these moves aren’t a big surprise. Perhaps the move of picking up The Forgotten is surprising for some, but Jerry Bruckheimer’s show will live on for at least 5 additional episodes.

Is it fair that one of Hollywood's most successful and richest young actors didn't set out to be a performer -- in fact, never took an acting class -- when there are thousands of others like him, sweating auditions, posing for head shots, tweeting their every move?

To underscore the point: Angus T. Jones, the "half" in the No. 1 comedy on TV, “Two and a Half Men,” doesn't even know if he wants to continue to hone the skill that's made him a millionaire when the 7-year-old CBS sitcom goes off the air. He's a 16-year-old high school sophomore who wants to go to college, and that's as far as his plans go.

"I don't know what I'm going to take or where I'm going to go," he said. "I'm not really sure. I don't really know if I want to do acting as a career. I really don't know what I want to do yet."

But what does he say to those legions of young actors who study, worry and undoubtedly envy him?

"I'm sorry?" Jones replied sweetly, his shoulders shrugging as his eyes melted into his signature broad grin. "It's always come naturally to me, but I don't know if I want to do this as a career."

Two-time Academy Award nominee, Will Smith, may have found the project that will finally win him that elusive Oscar. According to our inside source, The Hollywood Cog, Smith is set to produce and star in Flowers for Algernon, a modern-day adaptation of the Daniel Keyes’ novel. The movie is being set up at Sony Pictures and Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, along with Polksy Films. Tracy Nyberg, an associate producer on Hancock and an assistant to Will Smith on I Am Legend, is also set to produce.

Flowers for Algernon has been adapted several times since it was originally published in 1959, most famously Ralph Nelson’s Charly, which won Cliff Robertson an Academy Award in 1969. The short story (and the subsequent novel) is about Charlie, a mentally retarded man who is the first human test subject for an experimental surgery that artificially increases intelligence. The experiment had already been performed successfully on Algernon, a lab mouse. Charlie’s newfound intelligence (his IQ skyrockets from 68 to 185), however, comes at the cost of his ability to socialize normally, as he becomes increasingly alienated from those around him. Emotional consequences are involved when Charlie learns the truth of the experiment.

The project seems ideal for Smith, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performances in Ali and Pursuit of Happyness. Smith will bring his populist appeal to yet another Oscar contender.

Smith has several other projects currently in development, including an American remake of Oldboy, potential sequels to Hancock and I, Robot, in addition to a prequel to I Am Legend. No word on where Flowers for Algernon will fall into Smith’s filming schedule, but I’d expect the project to be fast-tracked, once a director comes aboard. And though no director has been announced, Smith’s Happyness and Seven Pounds collaborator, Gabriele Muccino, seems a likely candidate.

Levi Johnston plans on filing for joint custody of his son, claiming the Palin family is keeping him from seeing the 10-month old tot.

The 19-year-old Alaskan told "The Insider" that he had encountered a problem over the weekend when he tried to see Tripp, his son with Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol.

"At the end of the month I'm going to file for joint custody of Tripp," he said Monday on "The Insider." "Not working. I'm done. It's going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge."

Johnston has said before that his ex-fiance's family has kept him from seeing his son, but perhaps the Palins were peeved at his recent remarks.

Here’s the trailer for the Jay documentary that will come packaged with Curtis’ Before I Self Destruct CD. Or you can purchase it separately if Boo Boo isn’t your speed. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years already.

Not feelin the fact Curtis is packaging this with his album. It feels like just a shot at Supreme Griffin (if everyone knows the whole Queens connect between him, 50 and JMJ). Also, how did he get Ja, Fredro and Sticky to sit down for this?
Either way, its been 7 years to the week, no one's been prosecuted, and there's 3 kids and a widow with no closure.....
