...most persuasive condemnations of our veterans' healthcare system may be that a Southern California VA hospital is a suitable location for filming a Rob Zombie movie. The much tattooed 42-year-old director's last effort, the mordantly witty 2005 horror pic The Devil's Rejects, revealed the metal singer/director's knack for coaxing a certain grisly charm out of his homicidal antiheroes and evoking an unexpected creepiness out of the sun-bleached California desert. Now the horror auteur is taking a stab at Michael Myers, the masked psychopath from John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, which Zombie is retooling...
...hyper-realism. Look at the cast of any Zombie film and you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone as telegenic as Grey's actors.

Volunteers from environmental groups, including Campus Climate Challenge, were working to make sure that the line kept moving, according to store manager...
...convinced her that the character played by Emma Thompson had to smoke, Doran relented, but from the way Thompson hacks her way through the film and snuffs out her cigarettes in a palmful of spit, it's clear the glamour's gone. And remember all the smoking in The Devil Wears Prada? No? That's because the producers of that film kept it out entirely--even in a story that travels from the U.S. fashion world to Paris, two of the most tobacco-happy places on earth.
