File this one under shocking confessions of the day. According to Us Weekly, actress Tilda Swinton tried to kill her brother when she was a child. She was inspired by the murder of two-year-old James Bulger, which made headlines in the early '90s. "Years ago, when James Bulger was murdered, every newspaper front page was talking about evil. At that point, having suppressed it for years, I remembered when I was four or five, I tried to kill my own brother," recalled Swinton to the Telegraph Magazine (not online). "He was newly born and I was disappointed, because he was the third boy. That was enough as far as I was concerned." Luckily, the 'Burn After Reading' star never went through with it. Instead, she actually ended up saving her brother. When she walked into the room to kill him, she saw ribbons from a bonnet going into his mouth and she pulled them out. "I was discovered saving his life," said Switon. "So I had this strange reputation -- my brother's savior -- and no one knew I wanted to kill him."

In Honor of Zach Galifianakis's 42nd Birthday, Let's Rediscover His Short-Lived VH1 Series

Zach Galifianakis is a riot on the big screen today (even in last year’s rather staid It’s Kind of a Funny Story), but I’m willing to bet that the 42-year-old comedian’s strongest fans were just as fervent nine years ago, when he was but a piano-playing standup with a failed VH1 talk show. For those of us who watched that damn show every night for its two-month run in 2002 and remember when he interviewed Bradley Cooper in studio and singer Natalie Imbruglia on a crane, Galifianakis is a prized treasure. Let’s revisit the old gem in honor of his 42nd birthday. Here’s an average episode of Late World with Zach. The shout-out to his “twins” is particularly great, and the genius of the Sorority Boys roundtable speaks for itself. Here, Galifianakis conducts what I will gauchely call a “meta-interview” with his future Hangover costar Bradley Cooper. And finally, here’s his stress-releasing interpretive performance to “Under Pressure.” The line, “I have a show on a channel that thinks Creed is cool” should take you right back to ‘02.

Michael Shannon Sticks out in 'Take Shelter'

Michael Shannon Sticks out in 'Take Shelter' By Jenelle Riley September 30, 2011 Remember when September will be a drop zone for mediocre movies that art galleries needed to cleanse before moving the Oscar competitors?

Evil." Both films have came back Stage Critic's Picks.Also opening a couple of days ago, then one I am hoping doesn't explore the Oscar shuffle, is "Take Shelter," a stylish and terrifying parable from author-director Rob Nichols getting a ferocious performance from Michael Shannon. I've been interested in Shannon's since his riveting submit the play "Bug" just like a paranoid Gulf War veteran, employment he reprised for your 2006 film version. He then impressed audiences just like a psychologically unstable guy in "Revolutionary Road," which acquired him an Oscar jerk. Well, nobody does paranoia and mental instability a lot better than Shannon, who's absolutely amazing in "Take Shelter" as Curtis, a husband and father who begins to see visions and wants an oncoming apocalyptic event. Then he sets to build up a blast shelter around, much for the confusion of his loving wife, referred to with the always wonderful Jessica Chastain. Shannon is among the most popular stars to speak with there's something about his appearance (he looks about 7 foot tall and contains wide, significant eyes) coupled with that unique vocal pedal rotation (slightly Christopher Walken-ant) that, for reasons uknown, forever amuses me. He's also very intelligent and knows a little more about the craft of acting than lots of people could desire to forget. I'd the pleasure of moderating a Q&A with Shannon and Shea Whigham, who plays Curtis' nearest friend, last Saturday evening, where a offered-out crowd could not stop adoring the actor.
