**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP MOVIE REVIEW Story By The Native NewYorker CARNAGE: Was captivated by the filmmaker’s brilliant vision! **** Jodie Foster I’ve always been an avid fan of Roman Polanski. I mean, if you love film, how could you not be? Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby, last year’s terrific Ghostwriter … just epic works. His personal life aside, his work is consistently mesmerizing. Last night we caught a preview of his new film, Carnage; the screen-adaption of the sensation play God Of Carnage by Parisian-based playwright Yasmina Reza and again was captivated by the filmmaker’s brilliant vision.

The basic plot centers on two sets of parents, whose two sons have gotten into a fisticuffs, with one of them attacking the other resulting in some dental damage. The parents each defend their kids and then do a sudden turn-about and blame the other one … an...

Hollywood superstar Kate Winslet is relieved she found fame in the 1990s, because young actresses today face more intense media attention now, than she ever did. The actress shot to worldwide stardom alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997's "Titanic". Kate pities those just starting out in Hollywood, because she's convinced they face even more judgment about their looks and their personal lives. She tells Marie Claire magazine, "It's really, really tough. It's like, 'She's fat, she's thin, she's married, she's divorced.' I had all that and bouncing back is [bleeping] hard. "I'm really, really happy I'm not a younger actor or actress working now because they have to run before they can walk." Photo By: Sara De Boer/Retna

Kate Winslet Sexy British star Kate Winslet keeps the romance alive in her happy marriage by arranging two dates a week with her husband Sam Mendes.

She tells Elle magazine, "You have to work at a marriage. The best things always involve some effort. We aim to have two date nights a week, but always end up doing one."I don’t dress up or anything, we just have a nice meal somewhere, share a bottle of wine and talk. "Sometimes it’s just about getting out of the house. We do loads of lovely meals with the kids, but every now and again you need to get out of the house together, go and be a couple, have a laugh."
