Nicole Kidman Answers Your Questions
8 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
When Nicole Kidman agreed to answer People's reader questions, little did she know she'd be quizzed on her cooking skills (not great, she admits) or to reveal her biggest quirk (she loves coffee - but mostly foam). But the Oscar-winning actress, 42, who plans on spending the holidays Down Under, was happy to open up about her life in Nashville while doing press in New York City for her upcoming movie musical Nine, which opens in theaters Christmas Day. As for husband Keith Urban's whereabouts? The country star played dutiful husband, watching the Tennessee Titans in the adjoining room while »

What's wrong and what's right with 'Nine'
5 December 2009 3:31 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Here's the lowdown on the highly anticipated movie musical "Nine": Rob Marshall's latest 'should' still get nominated for Best Picture, but that's only because there are ten nominations and the competition is weak. A blunt assessment to be sure, but the truth hurts. Starpower will also help get it in and if The Weinstein Company and Relativity Media are lucky, the once-in-a-lifetime appeal of Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench, Fergie, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson and Daniel Day-Lewis in a movie together should lead to pleasant financial returns, but this doesn't rank among the highly respected musicals of the... »
Jacques Tati and French film comedy
4 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jacques Tati was a master of burlesque. Emilie Bickerton on a French revolutionary
If you told Jacques Tati that his flight was delayed, he'd say terrific – and settle down to watch what he considered "the best movie of the year": people passing by. Observation gave the director all the material he needed for the four films he made over three decades. Tati liked to call himself "the Don Quixote of cinema", which captures his combination of idealism, imagination and generosity. Monsieur Hulot, his charming, self-effacing but out-of-synch comic creation, is the character with whom he is most often, and fondly, associated. But Tati's work cannot be reduced to the man with the too-short trousers. His films – from the early burlesque of Jour de fête in 1949 to the highly stylised modernism of Play Time in 1967 – might not have an intellectual message, but they are delightful witnesses to the second half »
Gold Derby nuggets: Five reviews of 'Nine' | 'Up in the Air' flying high | Reax to 'Precious' Nbr snub | Raking over 'The Lovely Bones'

• Richard Rushfield reviews the first American reviews of "Nine" and thinks the musical may not strike the right notes with Oscar voters. Says Richard, "On paper, the film had everything an awards race could want; directed by Oscar winner Rob Marshall, revisiting the musical soil from which propelled 'Chicago' to a million trophies; a cast filled with more Oscar bait than you can count including Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson and led by Oscar's golden boy himself Daniel Day-Lewis; a story adapted from a cinema classic. It should have been 'Nine''s year, but the first indications are, it very much won't be. Of the three reviews out on the streets, two... »

She posed for an accompanying sexy spread and talked about Nine with her costar in the film, Marion Cotillard.

Here's more: On what inspired her to act: "That question actually brings me to the reason why I decided to become an actress, which is my constant curiosity about the endless mysteries of human behavior.

3rd Trailer for Nine Attempts to Explain the Plot and Characters
30 November 2009 4:16 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With only 19 days left until it hits theaters, Nine has a new trailer which finally goes beyond sex, cinematography, and accolades (which won me over), and attempts to present as many characters as possible as well as the conflicts of the main character, Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis). It gets to just about everyone in the cast except Fergie and Sophia Loren, so let me help out with that right now: Loren plays Guido’s mother and Fergie plays the whore from his youth. I’m not sure why they didn’t try to explain those roles, but it does accomplish a lot within the span of two and a half minutes so head over to Apple and check it out.
Nine hits theaters on December 18th. Hit the jump for a brief synopsis.
For those just tuning in, here’s a brief synopsis for Nine:
