One critic is getting very critical of Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs and Muslims in film and television. Jack Shaheen, an American of Lebanese decent, told Reuters that in America, where it is politically incorrect to make derogatory comments about other groups like African Americans or Jews, there is no social taboo against reinforcing damaging Arab or Muslim stereotypes.
In his latest book, Guilty, Shaheen says that the an anti-Arab tendency was present before September 11th.
The Farrelly Brothers and Ben Stiller are left broken hearted today after their bawdy comedy
The Heartbreak Kid failed to draw in the masses at the theaters. Taking home just $14 million its opening weekend, The Heartbreak Kid came in
second place at the box office, behind the family friendly
Game Plan starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The Game Plan is enjoying its second weekend of being No.
After going fancy in
Paris and
London, Jennifer and Jamie ditched their formal wear for a photocall in Berlin for
The Kingdom. This marks the fourth country these two have hit in the last week and we can't even imagine how exhausted they must be. At least they probably got lots of quality bonding time in together, although we know Jennifer would rather be with her family or
in her hometown.

Jennifer has just been killing it with gorgeous color out promoting
The Kingdom! From
green to purple to
pink to
orange to
red to this blue last night in London — stunning, stunning, stunning.
Fab wants to know which of Jennifer's looks is your favorite and I just can't decide.
Jennifer is usually not on my fashion radar. What can I say — when the girl is dressed down, she is dressed way down. But when the girl is dressed up she is dressed to the nines and with the premiere of
The Kingdom, her stylist has been working overtime.
Jennifer Garner definitely turned a few heads in her hot pink
mermaid number at the Paris premiere of
The Kingdom. Seriously, between the color of her dress and that huge grin on her face we barely even notice Jamie Foxx standing there next to her. That being said, Jennifer claims she would've been even happier to skip Paris entirely and just hang out in her hometown of Charleston, West Virginia.
In a surprising turn of events — even for people behind the movie itself —
The Game Plan, a PG-rated family-friendly flick starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, came in at
No. 1 at the box office this weekend. The Disney movie far outpaced the action-war film
The Kingdom, which took in $17.7 million and the No.
The Kingdom: Comes Too Late We’ve been talking a lot about the onset of the fall movie season. Gone are the hot days of summer and with them the never-ending sequels, gross-out Judd Apatow comedies and big-budget action films. And as the weather gets cooler, suddenly some of the movies get smarter.

This Friday finds Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman and Chris Cooper starring in
The Kingdom, a war movie set in modern-day Saudi Arabia. After a terrorist bombing of a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an elite team of FBI agents is formed to locate the mastermind behind the bombing. I'm going to see The Kingdom this week, though I wonder if a movie about terrorism in the Middle East will be able to draw in the crowds.
