CARRIE
starstarstarstar
Brian De Palma's first big hit remains his best horror effort to date. Sissy Spacek (in a stunning performance) stars as a troubled, sexually repressed high schooler who slowly realizes that she possesses telekinetic powers. Plagued with problems in school and at home (her mother, played by Piper Laurie, is a religious nut who makes her daughter pray in a closet), she's driven over the edge when cruel classmates make her the target of an elaborate practical joke, and all hell literally breaks loose.

  • Idol's Burning Questions Answered! | Today's News: Our Take | 4/10/2006
    As American Idol's "elite eight" await their fate, TV Guide calls a time-out to ask — and get answers to — some of the more-popular-than-ever contest's burning questions. Such as: 1. Is it us, or are Paula and Randy trying to be tougher this season?Seems so. "People aren't stupid," says American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, explaining that Simon's brand of brutal honesty has rubbed off on both of his less-acidic sidekicks. "Paula and Randy are not just going to sit there and say, 'Oh, you're wonderful' when they know some of the singers aren't." So that explains why Pollyanna Abdul keeps getting tongue-tied: She's just trying to find the sweetest insult possible without having to "dawg" anyone! 2. W read more

  • Timberlake's Ex Is Out for Blood | Today's News: Our Take | 2/17/2006
    Revenge has a new name (and a sssmokin' body). Tamara, starring music-video-dancer-turned-actress Jenna Dewan and from the creator of Final Destination, is a new horror film now playing at a theater near you. Oh, and did we mention that revenge smells nice and flowery, too? Actually, that's just the fragrance (not Curious, you can pretty much bet) worn by Justin Timberlake's post-Britney girlfriend as she sits down for a one-on-one with TVGuide.com.

    TVGuide.com: So the moral of this movie is what Mom always told us: "Don't pick on the drab girl who's into the occult or else she'll clean up nice and unleash on you a load of hurt."
    Jenna Dewan:
    Yes, and we like that. That's what I love about the movie, is that it does have a big moral to it — "You reap w read more

Tamara, starring music-video-dancer-turned-actress Jenna Dewan and from the creator of Final Destination, is a new horror film now playing in New York before going into wider release on Feb. 17.

  • How Low Can O.C.'s Young Kaitlin Go? | Today's News: Our Take | 1/19/2006
    "Welcome to the O.C... er, young miss." Tonight at 8 pm/ET, Fox's The O.C. brings back Marissa's kid sister to stir things up — but really, how much trouble can a 14-going-on-15-year-old get into? After realizing just how young Kaitlin and her portrayer, Willa Holland, are, TVGuide.com scrapped our first question — it was snarky and had to do with Lindsay Lohan's recent exploits — then went on to press the ingenue for details about Kaitlin's agenda and ask about her famous stepdad, Brian De Palma, and "uncle" Steven Spielberg.

    TVGuide.com: Like you, Kaitlin is 14. Hellcats are really starting out young these days, huh?
    Willa Holland:
    Yeah!
