Jodie Foster: TV Guide News

Miley, Hayden and More Have a Good Ol' Slime at Kids' Choice Awards | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 3/30/2008
Shrieks and slime filled UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion as Jack Black, Miley Cyrus, Shia LeBoeuf, Jessica Alba and many, many more took center stage at the annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. The first victim claimed by the green goo was Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford, but before the night was over Mummy star Brendan Fraser and heartthrob Orlando Bloom would also be covered in gooey goodness. The orange carpet, with its usual displays of playful fashion and eardrum-busting noise, was a chance for celebrity parents to share the spotlight with their kids. Brad Garrett ('Til Death)and Jodie Foster had both claimed tickets after taking part in kid-friendly movies. For Garrett the question wasn’t whether playing Underdog gave him more clout with his kids, or whether it was getting tickets to the show. “Being the animated dog helped get tickets for this show," he says. "I’m a big kid, too, so I love it!” Foster, who has only made one movie her kids are... read more

DVD Tuesday: 30 Years Later, Taxi Driver Still Stunning | Ask FlickChick | 8/21/2007
DVD Tuesday: Taxi Driver, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese and New York City's Heart of DarknessDid the world really need a new collector's edition of Taxi Driver (1976)? Probably not, but it's a great excuse — as though one were needed — to recommend a great film. And on top of Taxi Driver's intrinsic merits, watching it again was a fascinating reminder of how much New York City has changed since the mid-1970s. Check out Columbus Circle sans the massive glass slabs of the Time Warner Center, visit the now-vanished Bellmore Cafeteria, and witness the grunginess of Central Park's unrefurbished Maine Monument and the sheer sleazy glory of Times Square before Disney scrubbed the life out of it. There's a shocker in every scene, and that's before Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) starts his personal cleanup campaign. I remember that New York vividly and seeing Taxi Driver brings it all back.For anyone who doesn't know the plot, it chronicles the mental disintegration of insomniac... read more
