Sherlock Holmes Featuring Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, And Rachel McAdams!
Due Out December 25th
Here's the latest trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie due out on Christmas Day (Why so long to wait?). Robert Downey Jr., plays the lead of Sherlock Holmes opposite Jude Law as Doctor Watson. Lovely Rachel McAdams plays Holmes' love interest, Irene Adler (reputedly the only woman to have outsmarted Holmes). The film's villian is the fiendish Lord Blackwood (played by Mark Strong). The clip shows a bit of a more muscular Holmes (Downey?) fighting it out in a bare knuckle brawling match, juxaposed with a steamy Rachel McAdams in a state of victorian undress.
In one notable scene, Holmes finds himself handcuffed to a bed by Adler with only a pillow to hide his modesty. It looks like the movie will have a lot more action than your standard Holmes movie, as it is directed by Guy Ritchie. All I can say is - More McAdams!

Rachel McAdams Named Female Star Of The Year
ShoWest has named Rachel McAdams as 2009's Female Star Of The Year. "They're really good at coming up with these big sweeping award titles, aren't they?" McAdams says in a recent interview with Variety. McAdams is slated to star in two very different roles this year. In State Of Play, McAdams plays a young, inexperienced reporter, while in the new Guy Ritchie directed Sherlock Holmes, she plays a sexy Irene Adler, whom the famed Baker Street detective kept a picture of, as she was the only woman that ever outwitted him. Quite a range that showcases McAdams' acting chops.

Rachel McAdams Upcoming Projects
Right now McAdams is hard at work on four movies: State Of Play; Sherlock Holmes; The Time Traveller's Wife and was recently cast in Morning Glory.
State Of Play
Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck star in the political thriller State of Play. McAdams plays gossip girl Della Frye opposite Crowe's grizzled veteran investigative reporter Cal McAffrey. Affleck is the congressman in the eye of the storm. Based on a BBC mini-series, the film is a murder mystery that leads to political conspiracy involving the government and major oil companies. Kevin Macdonald directs with an adapted screenplay by Matthew Michael Carnahan. Released April 17, 2009.
Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr. stars as Sherlock Holmes. The Warner Bros. film is based on the classic story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and borrows from the comic series as well. Guy Ritchie directs from the adaptation by Anthony Peckham. Expected to be released December 2009.
The Time Traveller's Wife
The romantic drama The Time Traveler's Wife is based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger. Inspired by 'The Odyssey', the story centers on a man (Eric Bana) with a time traveling gene who uses his unique ability to appear to his true love at different points in her life. Robert Schwentke directs from an adapted script by Jeremy Leven. Expected to be released December 2009.
Morning Glory
McAdams will join Jeff Goldblum, Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton as the cast of Morning Glory, which is the story of a failing morning show. Apparently Ford and Keaton will play the feuding anchors and McAdams is the news producer who is working at getting them to play nice while on the air. Goldblum is slated to play Rachel's boss in this one. I'm guessing this one will hit the theatres in 2010.

Rachel McAdams Is Something Of A Cameleon
Straight blond hair this week, then curly brunette the next. Rachel McAdams seems able to effortlessly pull off either look with ease.
Red Eye
Stars Rachel McAdams, Cillian Murphy
Rachel McAdams stars as Lisa, an airline employee who becomes trapped on a flight with a creepy villain (Cillian Murphy, who is even more menacing than he was in Batman Begins as The Scarecrow). The movie is ably directed by Wes Craven, a veteran horror director who turns it into an above-average potboiler that packs a lot of tension into its 85 minute running time. That's a perfect amount of time for a movie like this, in which our beautiful heroine Lisa (Rachel McAdams) finds herself trapped on a red-eye flight with nasty Jackson Rippner (Murphy). Murphy coerces Lisa into helping in a plot to assassinate a Homeland Security official because he's got Lisa's father being held captive by a would-be killer, using that advantage to make Lisa into contacting the luxury hotel she works at and arranging to have the assassination target moved into a pre-set position.
It looks like there can be no escape for Lisa, but of course Craven and screenwriter Carl Ellsworth find a way to milk the suspenseful dilemma for all it's worth, even managing to wedge in a few intriguing character details to enhance the fast-moving plot. It's still a B-movie, but it's tightly constructed and well-executed by Craven, whose previous films made him a perfect choice to maximize all that Red-Eye has to offer.

The Notebook
Yes, this movie is syrupy sweet and clogged with cliches, Still, this movie is touchingly impassioned and great-looking adaptation of the popular Nicholas Sparks novel has much to recommend, not the least being young costars (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams who fell in love in real life while making this tear jeaker) and appealing old costars (James Garner and Gena Rowlands, the director's mother). McAdams and Gosling play the young love birds in the early 1940s and Garner and Rowling play the same couple in present-day North Carolina.
In the 40s, he was poor, and she was rich, and you can guess the rest; the years have past and he's remains unabashedly devoted, and she's slipping into the memory-loss of senile dementia. How their love endured is the story preserved in the titular notebook that he reads to her in their twilight years. Some people hate it because it demands your tears and on that level it is fine. Sometimes you just need a gooy romantic movie.

The Lucky Ones
An earnest if not wholly satisfying comedy-drama about an awkward homecoming for three dissimilar Iraq War veterans, The Lucky Ones works best as a vehicle for its interesting lead performances. Tim Robbins transcends his real-life, anti-war reputation by playing Cheever, a Reservist and decent fellow who is injured in Iraq when a porta-potty falls on him. Eager to see his family, he ends up on a road trip with two other soldiers trying to reach their own destinations. There's Colee (Rachel McAdams), a young and earnest woman who enlisted to escape family problems, endured a leg wound and is on her way to meet the family of her boyfriend, who was killed in combat. There's also T.K. (Michael Pena), recruited from a poor family and granted a month's leave after becoming impotent from a wound. The odyssey these characters, initially strangers to each other, share is fairly predictable for anyone who has seen such classic vets-coming-home movies as The Best Years of Our Lives. As Colee, T.K. and Cheever travel together, they encounter what sometimes feels and looks like an alien landscape: people who patronize them, people who despise the war without an inkling of what it's like to endure it, and a host of other exploitative chuckleheads who just don't get it. Inevitably, the trio has only itself to rely upon, to share the knowledge of the war's reality and provide support in ways that are sometimes funny and sometimes poignant. Co-written and directed by Neil Burger (The Illusionist), The Lucky Ones has a rambling structure that causes the film to lose focus. But its heart is in the right place, and Robbins, McAdams and Pena play people one can care about as much as enjoy.

The Married Life
Far too many period productions look right, but feel wrong. Set in 1949, Married Life doesn't just bring the post-war era to vivid life with cigarettes and cocktails aplenty; it even plays like a product of the time. In that respect, it calls to mind AMC's Mad Men, except Ira Sachs (Forty Shades of Blue) takes a lighter tone towards domestic disharmony. In this well-scrubbed suburban world, middle-class wives, like Pat (Patricia Clarkson), build their lives around their husbands. Pat and Harry (Chris Cooper) seem happy, but Harry confesses to his pal, Richard (narrator Pierce Brosnan), that the spark is gone. He plans to leave Pat for vibrant young war widow Kay (Rachel McAdams). Once Richard, a notorious ladies man, gets a gander at the platinum blonde, he secretly sets out to win her affections, while Harry plots to take Pat out of the picture. Married Life almost simulates one of Alfred Hitchcock's pessimistic disquisitions on matrimony, yet Harry and Richard seek less hurtful means to achieve their goals. Though women's lib has yet to hit the suburbs, Pat and Kay harbor desires of their own, and the best-laid plans soon go awry. Though Kay could use further development, this ensemble hums along almost as harmoniously as the quartet in Starting Out in the Evening. Along with co-writer Oren Moverman (I'm Not There), Sachs transforms John Bingham's 1953 novel, Five Roundabouts to Heaven, into an insightful treatise on love, marriage, and fidelity.

The Family Stone
For anyone who views holiday gatherings with equal parts joy and dread, The Family Stone offers plenty of comedy to identify with. Writer-director Thomas Bezucha's slapstick premise begins when Everett (Dermot Mulroney) brings his fiancee Meredith (Sarah Jessica Parker) home to meet his family for Christmas. It's an instant disaster when parents Sybil (Diane Keaton) and Kelly (Craig T. Nelson) agree with their gay, deaf son Thad (Ty Giordano, who is actually hearing impaired), pot-smoking son Ben (Luke Wilson) and daughters Amy (Rachel McAdams) and Susannah (Elizabeth Reaser) that Meredith is way too uptight to be welcomed into their family. Meredith recruits her sister Julie (Claire Danes) to help her thaw the Stone family cold front, and after building a solid emotional foundation for his holiday comedy, Bezucha starts to stack the deck with plot developments that, while heartwarming, border on the absurd. You either go with the movie's flow or you don't, and with this appealing cast (featuring some really nice work by Keaton, Nelson, Parker and Danes) it's easy to forgive Bezucha's unlikely blend of yuletide cheer, petty animosities, and romantic tables turned in the blink of an eye. Toss in a case of terminal illness and you've got a sad-happy tearjerker that works in spite of itself. If you don't recognize at least part of your own holiday clan in The Family Stone, you probably haven't been paying attention.

The Wedding Crashers
With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended.
