The Hollywood Reporter 80th Anniversary "The Legends Issue"

Check out The Hollywood Reporter 80th Anniversary "The Legends Issue" cover...

Here's a few excerpts...

One thing Sidney Poitier didn’t have in his leading-man heyday? Paparazzi. But on this December morning, Halle Berry, being Halle Berry, arrives at Poitier’s Beverly Hills home with her 2-year-old daughter Nahla — and four lensmen on her heels.

“Sidney is part of our history,” says a disappointed Berry, who otherwise seems unfazed. “He’s a legend, and one day I knew she would thank me for allowing her to be in his presence.”

And what a mark he has made. It was a watershed moment in Hollywood when Poitier won the best actor Oscar for Lilies of the Field in 1963, becoming the first African American performer to do so. His victory, preceded by an Oscar nomination five years earlier for The Defiant Ones (1958), happened before Berry even was born. As a child, though, Berry eventually saw Lillies. “Wow. I was, even as a girl, madly in love,” she says. (To which Poitier jokes, “Now you tell me!”)

When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them.

Trailer Alert: NEW Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Anybody that knows me, knows that Transformers is like one of the best movies on my list!!! I will lose sleep just to make sure I see this movie the moment it comes out! Well folks here is the first teaser trailer of the new anticipated summer blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

In a recent interview with Collider, director Michael Bay admits this is definitely his last Transformers film, but says he leaves the story open for others to delve in. "I think this has gotta be it. I think someone else will take the torch from here." … "There's a couple of things that are left open. I think you'll see some finality to this, you know we've made it very clear that when things die they die now. They're not magically being brought back." … "The nice thing about Transformers is that you've got so many stories to tell, you've got Cybertron. It's just that I don't think you could do it again with Shia and everybody, I think it's time to move on."

Take a look...
