Last Exorcism Follow up Includes A Director

Erectile dysfunction Gass-Donnelly will get the gigThe only disadvantage to making $70m in the box office from the budget of $1.5m and getting that success spawn a follow up, is the fact that it's slightly embarrassing in the event that original film had the term "last" within the title.

Denise Richards On Spending Time With Charlie Sheen For Their Children: Weve Become Very, Very Good Friends

First Published: January 17, 2012 1:19 PM EST Credit: Access Hollywood Caption Denise Richards visits Access Hollywood Live, Burbank, January 17, 2012LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Denise Richards spent some of the holidays with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and their two children together Lola, 6, and Sam, 7 and she said things are going well. Its our Modern Family, I suppose, Denise told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover as she promoted her Eloise ShoeDazzle.com pump for charity on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday. Things are good. It was for the kids and it was a nice trip for all of us. Although Charlies behavior made headlines last year, things between the former couple are in a good place, the actress said. Weve actually become like brother and sister, we really have, Denise added. Weve become very, very good friends and we wanted to have a trip with our daughters and its Christmas for them, so its good. When we all spend time together, its great for the kids and for us too. We actually get along. The mom, who will appear on 30 Rock in two episodes this season, said the way she and Charlie get along is by focusing on their family. I think [the key is] making it about the kids. The stuff between the couple if youre divorced its no longer about you anymore, she said. You have to be the bigger person and make it about the kids and so thats what were doing. Denises ShoeDazzle pump, which retails for $39.95, and 100% of the proceeds go to the Kidney Cancer Association, is actually called the Eloise, and is named in honor of the newest addition to her family Eloise, who she adopted last year. I love being a mom more than anything and I just knew that I wasnt done and Eloise found me another way. Shes just such a blessing to me and my family, Denise said. And the actress said her oldest daughters are delighted to have another sibling in the fold. They actually fight over feeding her and picking out her outfits and all of that, Denise said. My daughters are very nurturing and theyre so in love with her and shes just been such a wonderful blessing. Copyright 2012 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.

Top Ten Movies of 2011

The year has come to a close, and at first glance, I thought I would have difficulty naming my Top 10 movies of the year, as so many movies left me unimpressed this year. (Oddly, not a single animated or foreign film made the list this year.) But once I got going, I found that there were more than enough to rejoice about.There were films featuring fantastic performances that didn't quite make the list: Michael Fassbender in "Shame," Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain in "Take Shelter," Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh in "My Week With Marilyn," Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer in "J. Edgar," Martin Sheen in "The Way," Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." There was "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," a film that deserves mention not only for being great, but for not screwing up the end of a terrific franchise. "Insidious" deserves mention for providing great scares in the horror genre, so often done poorly. "Midnight in Paris" was not only Woody Allen's best film in years, but introduced us to Corey Stoll, who played a sexy, funny Ernest Hemingway. And there was "The Skin I Live In," one of the most fun rides I had at the movies this year. But in the end, here are the 10 that stood out above the rest:10. "Drive" When Ron Perlman is the second-baddest badass in the film, it's one thing. When he's out badassed by Albert Brooks, you know you have something special. Some complained Nicholas Winding Refn's film was all style over substance, to which I would say: "Yes. And?"9. "Warrior" Woefully overlooked in theaters, this MMA movie featured a career-high performance from Nick Nolte and star-making turns from Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton as estranged brothers who battle each other in the ring. Part Eugene O'Neill family drama, part rousing fight film, it deserves more attention.8. "The Artist" I could wish that the film had a weightier impact or a more powerful ending, but that would do a disservice to the lighthearted, sweet fun that is this ode to silent cinema.7. "A Better Life" Demian Bichir is outstanding as an illegal immigrant struggling to raise his defiant 14-year-old son. A movie that surprised me at every turn.6. "The Descendants" As a Hawaiian descendant myself, I appreciated every little thing Alexander Payne got right about the island culture, from the lingo to the customs. In a broader sense, his movie about loss and forgiveness is a punch to the guy, followed by a warm hug. Bonus points for the scene where Judy Greer's wronged wife has a meltdown at the bedside of her comatose competitor.5. "Win Win" Paul Giamatti plays another lovable loser in this gem from writer-director Tom McCarthy, now batting a thousand following his films "The Station Agent" and "The Visitor."4. "Moneyball" Brad Pitt makes it look so easy as Oakland A's manager Billy Beane, who creates a winning baseball team from cast-offs and losers. Jonah Hill has some of the year's best lines and the two make a great pair in this sharp, funny, and touching film from director Bennett Miller.3. "The Help" No matter what anyone says to try to bring this film down, "The Help" is a triumph. Every cast member is flawless, from Bryce Dallas Howard's chilly Hilly Holbrook to Jessica Chastain's goofily endearing Celia Foote. Discovery of the year Octavia Spencer deserves the Oscar, as does stalwart Viola Davis, in a heartbreaking and heartwarming turn.2. "50/50" You might expect a comedy about cancer starring Seth Rogen to be brash and funny. What you might not expect is it to be sensitive, beautiful, and romantic. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been unfairly overlooked in awards races for his pitch-perfect performance as a young man striken with the disease. In supporting roles, Anna Kendrick and Rogen are believably baffled as to how to react. Realistic in both its pain and laughter, the film walks a tricky line and never stumbles.1. "Bridesmaids" Because no movie made me laugh--or cry--harder this year. Because Kristen Wiig and company's antics should put an end to discussions of whether or not women can be funny and if people will pay to see it. Because Melissa McCarthy is genius, but so are Chris O'Dowd, Rebel Wilson, Jon Hamm, and Rose Byrne in supporting roles. The most quotable film of the year with a raunchy soul and a sweet heart, that captures female friendships and competitions as few films ever have. A perfect comedy and a fantastic movie.READ MORE ON BEHIND THE SCENES
