Celine: Through the Eyes of the World (Not Rated):
Say what you will about Céline Dion, but there’ no denying that the woman is a force of nature. Most people know her as the lady who sang that interminable theme song from Titanic, but this behind-the-scenes look at the Canadian diva at work reveals her global popularity, crazy stamina and love of what she does. Through the Eyes of the World takes fans and neophytes alike along with her and her family on her 2008-2009 world tour. (Céline Dion [herself], René Angelil [himself])
Daybreakers (R):
In a world where vampires rule and the remaining humans are farmed for blood, a covert type of blood-sucker seeks out a sexy researcher to come up with a synthetic food supply. But if you’re thinking about HBO and that handy packaged drink, think again. The gritty urban landscape of Daybreakers is no “good times” town like True Blood’s Bon Temps. Instead, real people are on the run and Ethan Hawke is their only hope. (Ethan Hawke [Edward Dalton], Willem Dafoe [Lionel “Elvis” Cormac], Caudia Karvan [Audrey Bennett])
Edge of Darkness (R):
Bad guys, beware. Mel Gibson is back in action and loaded for bear with big guns, a burning vendetta and a bad Boston accent. Mel channels his inner crime-fighter as Thomas Craven, a detective who begins to unravel when his activist daughter is mysteriously killed. As he digs for answers, he discovers that there’s much more to her murder than he ever imagined -- including her secret past, a cover-up and government intrigue. (Mel Gibson [Thomas Craven], Bojana Novakovic [Emma Craven], Ray Winstone [Jedburgh])
Legion (R):
Hollywood has said it before, and it’s saying it again: Humans must behave well, or else. Earthlings get another smack-down in this latest take on the apocalypse and survival when so-called angels descend upon the planet and start raising hell, to to speak. True to form, the only woman with protected status is pregnant with the world’s future savior, but even that might not be enough to save her and the local folk from the doom and destruction that befalls them. (Paul Bettany [Michael], Tyrese Gibson [Kyle Williams], Adrianne Palicki [Charlie])

Heavenly Hotties: Legion Premiere

The Heavens opened up and the rain poured down at the Los Angeles premiere of Legion on Thursday night, where breakthrough fashionistas were dressed in angelic fashion, with hardly a hair out of place despite the dismal weather. Friday Night Lights stunner Adrianne Palicki secured herself a place on the haute list, looking très sexy in a white Hervè Lèger with mirrored embellishments. With her hair done up Old Hollywood style, and intense red lipstick, the young actress really had her moment.
Also turning heads on the carpet was ex OC’er Willa Holland, who got glam Goth in black floorlength, adding purple Christian Louboutin heels for a flash of color.
