In sexual addiction, the patient is involving unwillingly in sexual activities, trying to stop this behavior ends with a frustration and discomfort feeling. The person enters this way under an incontrollable repetition of same behavior going towards affecting his professional and familial way of living.

Duchovny, aging 48 years old, earned his celebrity with role of FBI agent Fox Mulder from TV series “X-Files”. Already on cinematographs we can watch “The X Files: I Want to Believe”, movie which continues the story of Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny). David is married since 1997 with actress Tea Leoni, mother of a 9 years old daughter and a son of 6 years old.

Uma Thurman – naked bath in sea, kiss under moonlight

Beautiful American actress Uma Thurman, 38 years old, seems more in love than never since she met swiss Arpad Busson. After she spent all summer with him traveling through some of most exotic places and sharing unforgettable moments (as a bath during night, naked, in Sicily), star from “Kill Bill” and “Pulp Fiction” has been seen giving a real cinema kiss – under moonlight – inside a Sicilian restaurant.

Indeed, declaring that she is “in love of an extraordinary man”, actress has all reasons in world to wish having children with delightful business man.

As a coincidence the movie she is filming in present calls Motherhood, and next one we will seen on big screens is ready to launch and names … “The Accidental Husband”.

Uma Thurman always was a sexy actress and a powerful personality, seeing her on screen gave us chills because she is absolutely unpredictable. Let’s hope she has finally discovered her other half.

Cher – first option for Catwoman

If Angelina Jolie can be found under discussions for acting as Catwoman, well, we found today from “The Telegraph” publication that first option for Nolan, stage director of new Batman movie, is actually singer and actress Cher.

This is for a reason that seems very well argued: “Nolan wishes to portray Catwoman as a vamp of which years when she shined are melting down. New Catwoman will be exactly the opposite of the “fatal” women which Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry created” states a source from inside of studios.

What remains for us is to ask ourselves how will look together a 60 years old Catwoman and a Bruce Wayne/Batman which is at half of her age.

Cher won in 1985 the distinction “Best actress” at movie festival of Cannes, for her role in “The Mask”, and in 1988 she took the Oscar for main role, with “Moonstruck” movie.

Choosing Cher in place of Angelina Jolie seems for us a bad move, although stage director wants to show a decadent Catwoman, Cher might not be the one to do it. Also the discrepancy of age between Catwoman and Batman would be a minus for movie. But who knows… maybe stage director bases on Cher’s experience or Cher has some magic potion to make her young and beautiful again.

What do you believe? Who’d be more recommended to play Catwoman’s role?


Vin Diesel - twice more Riddick

Vin Diesel, of which “The Fast and the Furious 4” has a new trailer, announced for MTV that stage director and scenarist David Twohy writes scripts for two new movies with powerful Riddick. Diesel thinks those two continuations will be realized same time, same style with “Lord of the Rings” or “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Diesel prepares to launch in Europe it’s latest movie “Babylon A.D”, a S.F thriller directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and make another apparition in “Hannibal the Conqueror”, movie he wants to direct too.

Until then actor returns to one of it’s most famous characters, Riddick – the convicted, which eyes can see through darkness. In March 2006, scenery wrote by Twohy involved a trip to Underverse, without Diesel explain very well what was that. Fourth movie of series is said to involve the return of hero on it’s native land, Furya.

Seems like movie crew will try to produce independently continuations, because Universal studios were kind of disappointed of second part, “The Chronicles of Riddick”.

Some of you are as excited as me when you hear Vin Diesel comes on screen as Riddick to kick some asses again. We have two more “episodes” from this movie and for sure this is going to be a real immersion in Riddick’s world.

Chronicles of Riddick

Tropic Thunder, 2nd time first place

“Tropic Thunder”, the “action” movie of Ben Stiller, goes for the second week on first place of American box office. With Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black in main roles, “Tropic Thunder” got ahead of “House Bunny” with Anna Faris. Having 16 millions of dollars in “pocket”, Tropic Thunder surpassed with almost 1 million of dollars “the bunny”. Both movies will appear on screens, but appreciations of MOVIESALERT go first place to amusing, crazy movie of Ben Stiller, who makes fun with his full of action comedy about five arrogant actors abandoned in jungle by an exasperate stage director.

On 3rd place in American box office we will find new “Death Race” with Jason Statham, which MOVIESALERT recommends to all drivers. Statham, an innocent convict into an extremely rough penitentiary, subscribes to “Death Race”, a competition with few rules of which winner receives the supreme prize: his liberty. 12,3 millions of dollars entered in “death race”, 10,3 millions of dollars entering Joker’s pocket: “The Dark Knight” comes 4th, but we don’t have to feel bad for it because Christopher Nolan’s movie gathered until now no less than 489 millions of dollars. Animated movie “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in on 5th place with almost 6 millions of dollars.

Ben Affleck: no gigolo, but lawyer yes !

Fresh out from “He’s Just Not That Into You” movie filming, where he plays role of concubine (… of Jennifer Aniston) and “State of Play”, Ben Affleck joins another project: he will play with Jason Bateman in next written comedy directed by Mike Judge – “Extract”. Clifton Collins Jr. (Capote) got a role in this movie too.

“Extract” tells the story of an unlucky manager: his business goes through a bad time and his wife cheats on it with a gigolo. We will not see Affleck as gigolo in movie, but he will play a role less spiced (or maybe not): as a lawyer of Jason Bateman, an employee for enterprise, which lost an arm in unclear circumstances.

Filming begins next month, in Los Angeles

Ben Affleck is very convincing when he decides to play a role. What do you think about him playing role of a concubine?

Harri Puttar or Harry Potter?

Warner Bros sued a producer from Bombay because of an indian movie title, “Harri Puttar – A comedy of terrors”, American studio considers this title to be too much like famous franchise based on J.K Rowling novels. First confrontation will take place Monday, Indian movie having it’s premiere on 12 September. Is there any connection between Harri Puttar with Harry Potter? It seems no, at least this is what Indian producers sustain, which said that title was registered since 2005. Harri is an Indian name which is often used (as Harry in Great Britain?), and “puttar” means “son” in Punjabi dialect, used by 90 millions of pakistaneze.

Despite of those details, Warner Bros. considers that title violates right of intellectual propriety, and one of reasons is reasons is that “Harri Putta” became a sort of local nickname of little brave wizard appeared once with first movie from Harry Potter series. First audience at this trial takes place Monday. Who will win? A thing is certain: not Harry’s spells will change title of the Indian movie, but a skilled lawyer should do it.

New movie of Miyazaki is a BOOM in Japan

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

“Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea”, the new animation of Japanese stage director Hayo Miyazaki got cashing of almost 100 millions of dollars in Japan, in less than one month from initial launch. Last movie that achieved this performance in Nippon archipelago was too one of Miyazaki’s production, “Howl’s Moving Caste”, only this one needed 33 days to pass limit of 10 milliards of yens. Although Ponyo’s success energized cinematographs in Japan, the new movie is a lot behind biggest success of Miyazaki, “Spirited Away”, winner of Oscar award for animation in 2003, although Japanese animation was in competition with famous “Ice Age”.

“Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea” will be presented in movie festival from Venice and we will make a review immediately. Until then we can give you little information about animation movie. We can say that Ponyo is a siren that wishes very much to live in human world, this way she becomes friend with a 5 years old boy.

We are glad that in Japan from time to time new good movies are born, even it is an animation one it might have success in Europe too as in entire world. How much do you wish to see the little siren at work ?
