There is nothing like seeing a dirty dirty poster of Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time. The movie isn’t coming out until 2010 but already we have been writing about it like crazy. I actually like this movie poster…almost as much as that shirtless still they released of him.

Jake is in the movie Brothers that comes out in December and his co-star, Natalie Portman, had something to say about him being on the Sexiest Men Alive list.

“Kids and dogs love him. He loves his mom and sister and girlfriend. He’s perfect. Too bad he’s ugly.”

I don’t think he’s ugly. He should at least be the runner up this year!

I am a huge fan of Natalie Portman. There is just something about her that is awesome. She is starring in the new movie with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire called Brothers. I love the trailer for the movie.  She is the cover girl for the Winter 2009/2010 issue of V magazine. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On harsh criticism of her Star Wars work: “My acting was not exactly respected in those films [laughs] but those are the moments when you want to prove yourself again. When people think I suck, it helps.”

On how the internet affects her roles: “[O]nline bulls— interferes with what I want to do artistically. I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that.”

On striving to be her best: “To be successful, you need the desire to be successful. Ambition can be a dirty word, but it’s pretty much more important than anything.”

Back in July, I posted the trailer for, Brothers, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. Now that the movie is hitting theaters on December 4th they released a couple of new stills. This movie looks amazing, especially with the cast that it has. The quick synopsis is that a man (Jake) comforts his sister-in-law (Natalie) and children after her husband (Tobey) goes missing in Afghanistan. I’ve watched the trailer more than a couple of times already.

Lionsgate sent over this teaser poster and movie trailer for the movie, Brothers, to me this morning. I perked up when I saw what a great cast it had; Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. I’ve watched the trailer a couple of times now and can’t decide if I want to start crying or let the shivers keep going up and down my back.

BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. When his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains Sam is presumed dead and the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void. Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children. In the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and Tommy are naturally drawn together. Their longstanding frostiness dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction that has replaced it.

But Sam is not dead; he and a fellow soldier have been captured by Taliban fighters. In Afghanistan’s harsh, remote Pamir Mountains, Sam is subjected to traumas that threaten to rob him of his very humanity. At the same time that Sam’s sense of self is being destroyed overseas, Tommy’s self-image is strengthening at home.

When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over the family. Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows suspicious of his brother and his wife. Their familiar roles now nearly reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate? Directed by six-time Oscar® nominee Jim Sheridan, BROTHERS tells the compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood—and with the woman caught between them.

I love any movie Natalie is in. And this is such a powerful one. What happens when you fall in love with someone when you thought your husband died?

Brothers comes to theaters on December 4th, 2009. Make sure you bring a box of kleenex with you.

By now you have probably heard that it has been confirmed that Jensen Ackles is 100% returning to Supernatural (he is the star of the show)! So now we can get the lowdown on the new season, from creator, Eric Kripke…

Spoilers after the jump…..

TVGuide.com: You weren’t lying when you said you were hoping to make your fans really angry and full of anxiety all summer!
Eric Kripke: [Laughs] It was a fun way to end the season. Dean meat-hooked in the center of what looks like a thousand mile spiderweb of rusty chains. Sort of M.C.Escher meets Hellraiser.

TVGuide.com: Why did you send Dean to hell?
Kripke: Everyone expected Dean to be safe! That’s reason enough to send him to hell. But also, in ways I can’t reveal, it’s a turning point for Dean. You need huge moves to happen that can cause radical shifts in the characters, that set them off in a new direction. So what happens to Dean in hell and how Dean gets out become primary concerns of Season 4.

TVGuide.com: So you’ll have scene set in hell?
Kripke: I can give this away. Dean spends a lot more time in hell than anyone’s probably thinking. Dean could spend — in human time — six months, maybe more. In hell time, who knows how many years or decades that might be. [Laughs] I won’t tell you how he gets out, but he will emerge to a different landscape. A lot has changed since he’s been away, and he has to readjust to his loved ones after being gone for so long.

TVGuide.com: Is he still human or… part demon?
Kripke: It takes hundreds of years to be burned away into a demon. Dean won’t be a demon, but there will be an ongoing mystery. When he gets out of hell, he’ll have little recollection of what happened to him down there. That’s one of the mysteries of the season.

TVGuide.com: Speaking of demons, will Ruby be back? And any new characters?
Kripke: Ruby will be back, and we’re introducing a new supernatural species. We intend to bring back Steve Williams, the old embittered hermit hunter Rufus.

TVGuide.com: Let’s get to the heart and soul of the show. How will Dean’s hellish sojourn affect the relationship between the brothers?
Kripke: It will affect it massively. We’ll slowly unfold Dean remembering what happened in hell, and that will drastically affect their relationship. Dean is basically a POW coming home from the worst hellhole — literally — ever. How do you reconnect with your life when you’ve been through something that horrific? That becomes one of his issues. But don’t worry, he’s still the same smart ass he always was.

TVGuide.com: What’s grieving little brother Sam been up to? In the finale, we saw some of his power in his fight with über demon Lilith.
Kripke: We presented him as immune to her powers. We have some twists and turns in store with that. Sam promised Dean right before Dean died that he wasn’t going to pursue any of his powers in terms of discovering his potential. Upon Dean’s return, Sam tells him “I promised I wouldn’t head down that road because you made me promise,” but we begin to wonder if indeed that is the truth. For whatever it’s worth, the writers have never been this excited about a season. We have some really exciting plot twists.

TVGuide.com: Maybe they’ll be exciting enough that this won’t be your last season?
Kripke: Maybe. But you write every season like it’s your last and hope for the best.

It sounds super super exciting…weeee….
