Demographic Doppelgangers Devour Holdovers http://www.observer.com/2008/manhattan-weekend-box-office-smart-people-demographic-doppelgangers-devour-holdovers

There was a clear division over the weekend between the haves and the have nots—as in those movies that had an audience and those that did not. Each of the top four movies in Manhattan averaged near or over $20,000, while every other movie in the top ten, except for The Visitor (no. 7)—which averaged $23,500 at two theaters—averaged below $6,000.  read more »

Joe movie—the 53-year-old actor has confirmed that he’s signed on for three such action-adventure flicks, also confirming speculation that Paramount is aiming to build a franchise out of the films, the online entertainment news site Collider.com reports.

Actor Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, filed a lawsuit today against Baxter Healthcare Corp.—the makers of herapin, a blood thinning medication over-administered to the couple’s newborn twins. In what is billed a “product liability lawsuit,” filed in Baxter’s home state of Illinois, the family asks for over $50,000 in damages. According to Susan Loggans, the family’s lawyer, the twins are now at home and seem to be in good health. “The Quaids are a religious family, and they really believe the prayers of the public saved their kids," Ms. Loggans added.

The medical mishap occurred on Nov. 18 at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The drug manufacturer is to blame for the nightmare, they claim, because its packaging makes it difficult to differentiate between unlike doses. The suit also points to three Indianapolis children killed last year after being given too large a dose. Despite all of the recent disasters involving herapin, Baxter Healthcare has not yet recalled the drug for repackaging.

“The point of this case is to save other children from this fate. They're not looking for money," said Ms. Loggans.

The newborn twins of actor Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, were given an overdose of a blood-thinning medication last Sunday at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai hospital. (It was not, however, an isolated incident.) Michael L. Landberg, chief medical officer at the sickbay, which has long been a refuge for the city’s more famous residents, issued a statement, which TMZ posted last night. The head doctor addresses, in part, the Quaid family.

From the producers who brought you Friday The 13th Part VI: Jayson Lies. A story of manipulation, betrayal, and the mistake that led a nation to war. Calista Flockhart as the reporter with too much access. Rick Moranis as the publisher who empowered her. Dennis Quaid as the editor who couldn't control her. Lesley Ann Warren as the columnist who despised her. Richard Jenkins as her top secret source. Wallace Shawn as the puppet master.

And, in his big screen debut: JT LeRoy as the spy betrayed.
