Intern Kanye? Say What?! (E! Online)

E! Online - Once again, it seems like the "K" in U.K. stands for kooky. While there may be a sliver of truth to the idea that Kanye West wants to get some hands-on experience in the fashion biz with a London position at Louis Vuitton or some other fashion house, we've got a problem with this quote, supposedly from Kanye, in the U.K.'s Mirror:

Movie Reviews
Journey To The Center Of The Earth
This latest reimagining of Jules Verne's subterranean adventure is not so much a remake as it is a layer added atop the author's work. The premise is that the novel was not a work of fiction; rather, it is the documentation of an adventure experienced by intrepid explorers. But the filmmakers chose a younger demographic as the target audience, virtually eliminating Verne's drama and danger. This is first and foremost a kid's film, and just to ramp up the tickle factor, it...
Live And Let Die
I enjoyed Roger Moore in the British television series The Saint. Sardonic and a tad lighthearted, he seemed made for the role. But when he took over Bond, I was disappointed with his interpretation. Every performer brings his or her sensibility to a character and the filmmakers and the screenwriters try to leverage the unique personality of the performer. But I simply find his approach to Bond to be a bit too aloof and a bit too casual. He doesn't seem to project a feeling of being in...
Dawn of the Dead: Unrated DirectorâÂ€Â™s Cut (2004)
As much as I've decried the recent onslaught of lazy and unimaginative horror remakes, occasionally one comes along that at least brings something new to the table. While nothing could every supplant director George A. Romero's original 1978 masterpiece Dawn of the Dead, the 2004 remake directed by Zack Snyder (300) and written by James Gunn (Slither) is at least noteworthy for two reasons. First, it resuscitated Romero's career and led to the production of both Land of the Dead...
10 Years of Rialto Pictures
Giant Criterion box sets like these are implicitly a mixed bag. I don't mean that the qualities of the films are in question; you'd struggle to find a more varied and intriguing mix of internationally-acclaimed films than this one. But part of the delicacy of Criterion releases are bonus features, and sets like 10 Years of Rialto Pictures and its Essential Art House set from a few years ago end up abandoning the comprehensive double-disc editions of films for sleek, simple, movie...
Waterworld: 2-Disc Extended Edition
Let's begin with some of Dan's comments from his HD DVD review:When Waterworld was being shot, there were reports of serious budget overruns and conflicts on the shoot. There continue to exist persistent unconfirmed rumors that director Kevin Reynolds departed before the film was complete and Kevin Costner took over. The budget got a bit out of control and is reported to have bloated to over $175 million, making Waterworld the most expensive motion picture ever to be shot to that date...
Thunderball
We now come to the fourth Bond outing. Following the enormous success of Goldfinger, Broccoli and Saltzman mounted an even more ambitious production that would include the most challenging underwater work filmed to date. It's a continuation of the intense rivalry between SPECTRE, the remarkably powerful and well funded international crime organization headed by Ernst Stravo Blofeld, and the British Secret Service. The stakes are higher than ever. It's a nightmare that haunts the world...
Constantine
High concept: The Exorcist meets The Sixth Sense meets The Matrix. Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is an exorcist, but not your run of the mill exorcist - he's something special. He sees what you don't see. You're not aware of what he routinely senses. He's aware of alternate realities that transcend this mortal plane. He's been to hell and back. Literally. And he could use some Prozac.He's caught between a rock and a hot place, doomed to eternal damnation for a...
Knocked Up
I initially found myself at odds with Judd Apatow's latest romantic comedy Knocked Up, though my final verdict is one of approval. Coming on the heels of his notable success, The 40 Year Old Virgin, his two most recent films, Superbad and Knocked Up, are remarkably similar in their tone to each other as both are harsher, brasher, and cruder films than Virgin. Yet all three films are companions in that whatever path they take to get there, they ultimately land the viewers in an unexpectedly...
