2011 is a great year for Hollywood movies. Here is a list of the most anticipated 2011 movies, from the final installment of ‘Harry Potter’ to Ryan Reynolds in ‘The Green Lantern’ to Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ — not to mention smaller movies like Terrence Malick’s ‘Tree of Life’ and the Nick Frost/Simon Pegg alien comedy ‘Paul.’

Jab

50. ’Alice in Wonderland’

What’s with the hate, critics? Granted, Tim Burton’s refashioning of Lewis Carroll’s tale lacked some narrative focus, and it probably didn’t need to be in 3-D. But the film is visually striking, Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen and her gigantic head (not to mention those frog servants) had us in stitches, and Mia Wasikowska is lovely as an Alice who only wants to live her own life. Just please don’t make us watch Johnny Depp break-dance again. — Patricia J. Chui

49. ’The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

We know what you’re thinking: ‘Twilight’? Really?! But before you judge, hear us out: While it didn’t exactly reinvent ‘Citizen Kane,’ at the end of the day, ‘Eclipse’ was a pretty fun time at the movies. Sure, it had its fair share of ‘Twilight’ trappings, and we still think Bella would have been better off with Jacob, not Edward. But as an action-thriller, ‘Eclipse’ totally worked. (The scene in which Bryce Dallas Howard gets her head smashed? Awesome.) If ever there was a time to embrace ‘The Twilight Saga,’ it would be 2010. – Andy Scott

48. ’Made in Dagenham’

Another spirited ‘Full Monty’-style tale of working-class Britons standing up for themselves and challenging class and gender norms in the process — only this one happens to be based on a true story. Sally Hawkins is feisty, funny and ultimately moving as the Norma Rae type who leads a squad of seamstresses at a Ford plant in 1968 in England’s first successful battle to ensure that women earned equal pay to men in equivalent jobs. – Gary Susman

47. ‘Buried’

A claustrophobic’s worst nightmare, this is the only film to ever take place entirely within the confines of a wooden coffin. The sole person we ever see on screen –- Paul (played by Ryan Reynolds) –- endures just about every horror possible. As the viewer we are buried alive, too, and we gasp for air right along with him. This one’s definitely not for the faint of heart. — Chris Jancelewicz

46. ‘TRON:

Legacy’Disney took a major gamble by throwing an estimated $170 million at a sequel to a cult 1982 movie that few people have ever seen. Whether it earns back that massive investment remains to be seen, but the overall result is a genuinely exciting, eye-popping, 3-D action flick about a human (Garrett Hedlund) who gets sucked into a sentient computer program while searching for his long-lost father (Jeff Bridges). You can bet that if it does turn a profit, the next installment in the ‘TRON’ franchise won’t take 28 years to come to the screen. — John Sellers

45. ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’

Jim Carrey turns in his funniest movie in a decade in this bizarre true story about a gay con-man who won’t let prison — or anything else, for that matter — keep him from the love of his life, Phillip Morris (Ewan MacGregor). This subversive, laugh-a-minute comedy — which almost didn’t get released — is ‘Catch Me if You Can’ with dark, twisted humor and a zany lead performance by Carrey. — Brian Childs

London, Jan 24 (IANS) English actress Sienna Miller is hinting she’s ready to start a family with her former fiance actor Jude Law, after reportedly rekindling her romance with him.

The couple split in 2006, after a British newspaper exposed Law’s affair with his children’s nanny but the two reunited late last year while starring on the New York stage, and enjoyed a festive vacation in Barbados together.

Though neither have confirmed a reconciliation, Miller admits she’s thinking about starting a family, reports imdb.com.

‘(I’ll) probably be a mum, I’d love to have kids,’ she said.

Melbourne, Jan 2 (ANI): Elin Nordegren has left hubby Tiger Woods behind in the US to take a secret trip to the snowy French Alps, it has emerged.

The Sun reported that the Swedish stunner gave the golfing star the cold shoulder.

According to reports, Elin is seeking refuge in a 6,000dollar-a-night chalet.

Elin, 29, is holed up in the chalet near the posh French resort of Chamonix. She’s there with her twin sister Josephin and five trusted pals, reports The Daily Telegraph.

A family friend told The Sun: “Elin wanted to take her family and close friends away from the minefield Tiger has created by his behavior.

“She has been absolutely torn to pieces by what he has done to her. But she still sees a future with Tiger because of the beautiful children they have.

“She told him she needed a lengthy time apart to reflect on how they might possibly salvage the marriage.”

Meanwhile, it has been reported that the sex scandal could see the golfer’s antics being made into a film.

Hollywood producers are keen to tell the story in a made-for-TV movie. Jerry Maguire star, Oscar-winning Cuba Gooding Jr, 41, is said to be one of those being lined-up to play the golfer. (ANI)

London, Dec 29 (IANS) With no family, friends and alleged high-class madames around, it’s going to be a lonely birthday for troubled celebrity golfter Tiger Woods who turns 34 Wednesday.

Woods is said to be still on his yacht Privacy avoiding the daily allegations spewing from waitresses and porn stars, reports news.co.au.

Woods’ life took a downturn when he crashed his car outside his house in the early hours of Nov 27 amid allegations of a massive fight between him and his wife Elin Nordegren, who apparently used a golf club to break the window on his car.

After the accident, the golfer has been tainted by allegations of serial infidelities with as many as 14 women around the US, including various waitresses, nightclub hostesses and porn stars, claiming they had affairs with him.

His wife is apparently living separately with their children, while the golfer, who has taken an indefinite break from golf, has gone into seclusion.

More humiliation for Woods came as his image was removed from Florida publicity shots for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he has won six times. Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer announced it was dropping him from its US ad campaigns.

Also, management consultancy firm Accenture announced that it would discontinue its sponsorship agreement with the scandal-tainted golfer. Gillette has also axed a 12 million pounds (about $19.4 million) marketing deal with him.

Pepsi bosses have also held talks about their 60 million-pound five-year contract with Woods since ditching the Gatorade Tiger Focus drink, and US phone giant AT&T is “evaluating” its link with the star.

Business experts in the US have estimated the loss to shareholders from Woods’ marital infidelity at about $13.65 billion, comparing returns for Woods’ sponsors to those of the total stock market and of each sponsor’s closest competitor.

London, Dec 29 (IANS) The Tiger Woods infidelity story may be turned into a TV movie and Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. is reportedly lined up to play the troubled celebrity golfer, according to reports.

Gooding Jr, 41, is reportedly being eyed for the high-profile role by several Hollywood producers, who are vying to be the first to make a film about the sensational revelations in the New Year, reports dailyexpress.co.uk.

As soon as the Woods story made headlines, the battle has been on to dramatise the scandal for the screen.

“It makes a great movie because people love the drama of seeing someone really successful fall from the top and then scramble to pick up the pieces of their life. It proves that even the world’s greatest athlete is human just like the rest of us but the movie needs to be made before the public loses interest in Tiger so the race is now on,” a leading Hollywood producer told dailyexpress.co.uk on condition of anonymity.

Woods, 34, shocked everyone when reports about his alleged affairs with 14 women came out following his accident Nov 27 where he crashed his car into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his Florida mansion. It was also reported that he had been attacked by his Swedish wife, 31-year-old former model Elin Nordegren, prior to the crash.

Woods, who released a statement admitting “infidelity” earlier this month, could face an expensive divorce which could see his wife of five years walk away with more than 169 million pounds — almost half his empire.

After various women came forward with accusations about Woods, who last year earned an estimated 69 million pounds from winnings and endorsements, he now faces a probe by US taxman over reports of cash payments to his mistresses.

He could also be investigated over his alleged links to high-class call girls and money paid for sex.

In a recent statement Woods said he was taking “an indefinite break from professional golf”.

The trade buzz is that papa Rakesh Roshan is busy giving finishing touches to the script of Krrish 2.

While no one on board will give an official comment it is said that Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan will have a double role in the film, with Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde traits. It is also hinted that since SFX are such a craze with the teens, the baddie in this very popular sequel will be part-robot-part-human and technicians from abroad will fly down specially to work with Roshan Senior, who has an envious box office track record. And who will romance Hrithik in this caper?

Allegedly Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif will play the lead, but of course since everything is premature, and official sources keep dismissing the whole premise as a figment of the media’s imagination. However, the fact is that the father-son combo of Roshans usually create a flutter even if they sneeze.

Bikram Saluja’s latest work, ‘An Actor’s Inspiration’, feels like an Indianised version of Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Godfather’ and Martin Scorsese’s ‘Raging Bulls’, only that it is a for-private-circulation-only coffee table book and not a movie.

It is like watching a movie in the photographic format with the narrative threading the whole work together.

“I wanted to do something independently,” says Saluja. “When I started out with the book, the work coming my way wasn’t interesting enough and I didn’t want to do just anything for the sake of being in circulation,” he says candidly.

So rather than waiting for the right stuff to come, Saluja drew inspiration from his favourite movies to create his own destiny. “Making a full fledged film at that time seemed like an enormous task. But I needed to find for myself the right artistic expression, to learn and to expand my horizons.”

“I was fortunate enough to have worked with some great photographers during my modeling days, and when I pitched the idea of doing a photographic book to two of my close friends who are also photographers, they were game for it and we decided to collaborate.”

A look at the book and his passion for what he was doing is hard to miss. The elaborate sets, the fine photography and the immaculately put together book took 4 years to create.

“Finding the right concept and to be able to do justice to what I had started out to do was a daunting task. It needed to be though provoking, challenging and of course it had to be related to cinema,” says Saluja.

And this book could well be the ‘break’ Saluja needs. When asked if this could be is stepping stone to movie making, Saluja is quick to reply. “Absolutely! This has definitely set a base. I was working not just in the capacity of an actor but in each and every department right from conceptualizing and interpreting to working with actors, to locations, post production,” he says.

“It was pretty much like putting a film together the only difference being that we were shooting through a still camera and not a movie camera.”

The foreword for the film has been written by none other than Amitabh Bachchan. “As an actor, everyone dreams of sharing screen space with him. With Amitabhji writing the foreword for my book, I feel that I have been able to share space with him in some small way. It’s like his seal of approval,” quips Saluja.

Saluja says he looks forward to acting. “For the past two years, I have been totally into this book, so it’s been much like a sabbatical. I’ve lived like a hermit living in obscurity for the past two years with only one thing on my mind. But yes, if I get roles that I like then I am more than happy to get back into my actor’s shoes. If not, then I have plans to write my own script and direct.”

And if his movies would be anything like his book, it will surely be something to watch out for!

That isn’t all. She has just been declared as the sexiest Asian actress by a leading Asian website from London.

But the girl remains grounded, so much so that she refuses to budge from her abode in a bustling part of Mumbai. “I know I’ve been reading about relocating my home. I admit I’ve looked at a few properties. But nothing seriously. Though it’s a little noisy on my street I’m too attached to the place I stay in. I’m also too lazy to make a move. Yes I’ll need a bigger place when my sister Isabelle joins me. But right now she’s studying acting in the US. There’s still time,” yawns Bollywood’s hottest and sexiest girl.

So is she planning to move home? “Not at all. I’ve always wanted a home by the sea. But I love my current home too much. So no plans of moving”

No plans of signing any new films yet either. “It’s very sweet of directors to mention my name in forthcoming projects. I feel privileged. But I haven’t said yes to anything new. At the moment I’ve cut my workload by half because of my ill health.”

As for being designated one of Asia’s sexiest women by Eastern Eye Katrina laughs, “Me? Hot and sexy? Nah. People should see me at home. I’m painfully unglamorous. Just another working girl making a living.”
