Best Movie Heroes

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adventure, Animation, Classics, Casting, Lists

Yesterday, we took a look at the greatest villains ever to grace the big screen. But where would characters like Emperor Palpatine and Lex Luthor be without their counterparts: the movie heroes?

Today, we’ll look at the greatest heroes who ever shined on film. Will your favorite make the cut?

Shrek (Shrek, 2001; Shrek 2, 2004; Shrek the Third, 2007) voice of Mike Myers: He is the epitome of an unlikely hero and almost unintentionally saves the day every time.

A Divorce for Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip

After more than a decade together, the Princess Bride and the Bad Boy are calling it quits.  Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn - who had been officially married since 1996 - are finally putting an end to something that endured quite a bit of time.  Their romance began shortly after Sean’s high-profile marriage to Madonna fell flat in 1989.

The couple - who have two kids together (Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 16) - have acted together in several films including She’s So Lovely and Hurlyburly.  Sean also helmed The Crossing Guard and The Pledge; both movies starred Robin Wright Penn and Jack Nicholson.

Sean’s directorial work can currently be seen in Into the Wild.  Wright Penn’s Beowulf is also still in theaters.
