"The relationship between Annie, my character, and my daughter Sophie is actually a really good one," Pressly says. Adds Kristi Lauren, who plays Annie's daughter: "Annie let Sophie grow up without a lot of rules and so Sophie thinks, 'Oh, I can do whatever I want.' They always have this struggle for power." Mark Consuelos joins I Hate My Teenage Daughter The question is whether both women can (finally) start disciplining their daughters, but also keeping those mother-daughter bonds intact. "My problem is that I always want my daughter to love me so much," Finneran says with a laugh. Watch an exclusive first look at I Hate My Teenage Daughter:

Weekend Movie Preview: 'Puss in Boots' Prepared to Become Cat's Meow at Box Office
What box-office slump? Fresh from the record-setting opening weekend of 'Paranormal Activity 3,' audiences are going to emerge in groups for 'Puss in Boots.' Just how much will the finicky cat make over the past weekend? Lots! Your weekend movie preview is here now. Countrywide RELEASES 'Puss in Boots' What is the story: Since the 'Shrek' franchise has sauntered off in to the sunset, here comes Puss in Boots to guide 'Puss in Boots,' a prequel about how exactly the swashbuckling cat grew to become pals with Shrek and company. Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Bob Thornton provide voices. Box-office projection: With box-office figures becoming bullish within the wake of 'Paranormal Activity 3,' all signs indicate an enormous opening for 'Puss in Boots.' Precisely how massive? Well, take into account that not just may be the film in three dimensional (as well as on IMAX screens), but the first new new animated feature hitting theaters since 'Cars 2' within the summer time. Thinking about that 'The Lion King 3D' handled to earn open with almost $$ 30 million in the box office throughout the dead days of September, does not it seem like 'Puss in Boots' might be a kiddie juggernaut? Forecasts possess the film striking around $35 million within the three-day weekend, but go ahead and take over on that number with full confidence. $44.7 million [Showtimes & Tickets Mr. Moviefone's Six-Second Review] 'In Time' What is the story: Occur the next where people stop aging at 25 and the years have changed currency, 'In Time' follows Will Salas (Justin Timberlake), an old time pauper charged with murder who continues the lam using the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of the very effective businessman (Vincent Kartheiser). Box-office projection: What's going to 'In Time' share with 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Thing'? Definitely not reviews ('In Time' has become some glowing critical response), but similar opening weekends. The excitement around the Andrew Niccol-directed film is small, even though Justin Timberlake is among the most well-known males in the usa, he's still in a position to guarantee a dent weekend. 'In Time' is his first action role, and he's encircled with a cast of youthful up-and-comers, but let us not expect a lot of miracles here. $9.a million [Showtimes & Tickets Mr. Moviefone's Six-Second Review] 'The Rum Diary' What is the story: The Actor-brad Pitt stars as Paul Kemp, a united states journalist in Puerto Rico who loves booze and discovering shady land deals. In line with the novel by Hunter S. Thompson. Box-office projection: Everybody loves 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' now, however it would be a going under upon release in 1998 the film gained just $3 million on opening weekend and $ten million overall. That's far from Depp's decade of blockbusters ('Pirates from the Caribbean,' 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Charlie and also the Chocolate Factory'), but expecting 'The Rum Diary' to drift along on individuals large films is really a mistake. Not just is 'Rum Diary' coming on the little over 2000 screens, but audience interest is not that high. (The R-rating does not help either.) Depp is money -- among the couple of actual celebrities left -- bear in mind that neither him nor Julia Roberts might make 'The Tourist' work. 'The Rum Diary' might be like this film, although with reduced stakes. $6.9 million [Showtimes & Tickets Mr. Moviefone's Six-Second Review] LIMITED RELEASES In nearly 250 theaters, Roland Emmerich's 'Anonymous' posits that William Shakespeare did not really write the plays credited to William Shakespeare. Scandalous! Also in limited release, Anton Yelchin as well as your new favorite crush, Felicity Johnson, star within the indie romance 'Like Crazy.' Both Johnson and also the film won honours at Sundance when 'Like Crazy' first showed captured. [Photo: DreamWorks] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED

It added that programs must “resolutely oppose money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism and arduously correct bad habits for example mistreating one’s forces, fakery, unprincipled functions, and doing harm to others to make money.” Satellite channels with each other can provide no more than nine restricted programs a evening between 7:30 and 10:00 while individual channels possess a cap of two shows of 1 hour 30 minutes or less. Additionally, they have to have two hrs or even more of news programs from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM, including two running a minimum of thirty minutes throughout prime time.

The federal government also stated it'll crack lower on the internet sites that transmit pornography, vulgarity, and also the “transmission of dangerous information.” The condition news agency Xinhua stated that three individuals have received alerts or detained for approximately 15 days for implementing the net to spread gossips. ..

Magnolia Closing In On LFF Opener 360
EXCLUSIVE: Im hearing that Magnolia is placed to shut a U.S. deal for Fernando Meirelles sexual drama 360, which opened up the 55th BFI London Film Festival last evening. Artificial Eye can also be in foretells release 360 within the United kingdom on March 3 2012, I realize. Co-created by Revolution Films, the United kingdom production company behind IFCs The Trip, the Peter Morgan-scripted feature follows a sexual circle of prostitution, infidelity and real love. Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz and Jude Law star. Paris-based telemarketer Wild Bunch is selling the BBC Films-backed project worldwide. Reviews here today happen to be pretty moderate: The Daily Telegraph summarized the film like a glossily unengaging trudge through other bands love lives explaining one moment in which a character imagines an airplane transporting away his lover as spectacularly stupid. The Occasions based in london provides the film quite a dismissive 3-star review, calling the plot improbable, and stated the merry-go-round structure crushes performances into twenty-minute slots that frequently neglect to elicit our sympathy. The Evening Standard though was a lot more positive, calling 360 a properly-crafted package along with a film of lovely moments, elegant structure and vivid locations. Coordinators from the LFF drummed up some star energy with Jude Law talking around the red-colored carpet Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz though werent available. Weisz, who stars in LFF closing film The Dark Blue Ocean on October 27, was busy in NY filming while Hopkins, Im told, doesn't enjoy travelling. Personally, I figured that Hopkins gave an incredible performance like a sober alcoholic although given his lengthy connection to Aa, you need to do question just how much of 1 scene where he shares in an AA meeting was ad-libbed while Ben Promote was scarily unpredictable like a charged child rapist.

A Modest Proposal to Turn Lady Gaga's Fame Monster Into a Movie
Since news broke that a Lady Gaga biopic may be in the works, I’ve fretted. The 25-year-old superstar is ripe for a big-screen toasting, but she’s only been a phenomenon since the latter half of 2008. Would you want to watch a Madonna biopic that stopped after the release of True Blue? Of course not. Lady Gaga has a gnarly, couture-bedecked arc ahead of her, and I say if she’s destined to be a cineplex draw, why not adapt her eight-track mini-album The Fame Monster into a full-fledged film? Even the title of the biopic’s source material, Maureen Callahan’s 2010 biography Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga, indicates that the singer hasn’t existed long enough for plot complications. Her life story isn’t engrossing: Moving from NYU to clubland to the pop charts is not a revelatory trajectory. Meanwhile, Gaga herself has produced a captivating visual feast with the imagery-laden EP (which is long enough to be considered a sophomore album) The Fame Monster. From “Bad Romance” to “Alejandro” to “Telephone” to “Teeth,” it’s a jarring, danceably Gothic medley of sideshows. If the rock opera ever went out of style, surely The Fame Monster is the best incentive to revive the genre’s unholy grandeur. Picture if you will a Spike Jonze-directed musical blitz of monster schlock, Laurieann Gibson choreography, and the torrid throes of clubland romance. It’s Queen of the Damned meets 54 (!), with the spirits of Mamma Mia and Dr. Frankenfurter added liberally. A leotard-loving ingenue (Gaga) falls into a bad romance with a hulking, primitive, mythological beast (muffled voice of Ron Perlman and/or Madonna) who happens to spin records in Manhattan. They engage in a hokey, but haunting freestyle dance that ensures their destiny together. But wait: Gaga’s hot, blue-collar ex-paramour Alejandro nags her by telephone and woos her to her old life of comfortable domesticity. He leaves her speechless! She’s so happy she could die. Ultimately, she chooses between the two by forcing them to dance in the dark and show their teeth — which is a Rocky Horror tribute all its own. Already this is better than a by-the-books biopic. And it’s a logical extension of Gaga’s intrigue as opposed to a stilted, elementary retelling of her life. Would you see a Fame Monster movie? More importantly: Can you envision schlock lovers and “little monsters” seeing a Fame Monster movie? I’m in, teeth bared.

Still Existence (Stillleben)
A FreibeuterFilm, Lotus Film production. Produced by Oliver Neumann, Erich Lackner, Thomas Pridnig, Peter Wirthensohn. Directed by Sebastian Meise. Script, Thomas Reider, Meise.With: Fritz Hoertenhuber, Christoph Luser, Daniela Golpashin, Roswitha Soukup, Anja Plaschg.Calling your movie "Still Existence" probably isn't the simplest method of standing up for in the crowd, specially when the film is the one other Austrian pic about pedophilia. Tyro helmer Sebastian Meise's fresh tack is always to make his protag a perv in thought rather than deed, nevertheless the results don't add much for the discussion. San Sebastian's First Film jury gave "Still Existence" a decent mention, which will help fest bookings but hardly anything else. Bernhard (Christoph Luser) sees father Gerhard (Fritz Hoertenhuber) hands a contact with a streetwalker (Anja Plaschg) and accompany her with a brothel. He follows them and steals the note, which instructs the prostitute to pretend she's Gerhard's daughter, Lydia, becoming an adult. Deeply disturbed, Bernhard passes the note for the now-adult Lydia (Daniela Golpashin), who's naturally freaked out, though their mother (Roswitha Soukup) seems most disturbed the key she kind of understood about is outdoors. Gerhard, a recouping alcoholic who never really molested his daughter, doesn't get seem advice and will receive a rifle. Repression is conveyed via hardened faces, believe it or not than interfamily dialogue together with a properly controlled camera.Camera (color), Gerald Kerkletz editor, Julia Drack music, Cleaning cleaning soap&Skin production designers, Katharina Woeppermann, Anja Ronacher costume designer, Woeppermann.
