I found 3 new stills of Reese in “This Means War” (almost in HQ).

I just found some photos of Reese during the 62nd Annual ACE Eddie Awards Show earlier today. Hopefully we’ll get some footage of it soon.

Keeping herself immersed in the spotlight as her new movie “This Means War” was released this weekend, Reese was on-hand for the 62nd Annual ACE Eddie Awards in Beverly Hills on Saturday night (February 18).

Held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, the 35-year-old actress was among the presenters as she joined alongside editor Kevin Tent to dote “The Descendants” director Alexander Payne with the ACE Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year honor.

Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy star in the action comedy “This Means War” and sat down with OnTheRedCarpet.com to discuss and joke about their real life rivalry.

Witherspoon, 35, stars in the film with Pine and Hardy. The actors play two CIA agents who are best friends fighting over the same woman, played by Witherspoon. The agents wage an epic battle against one another while Witherspoon’s character tries to determine which man is a better match for her.

While their characters competed on the big screen, they joked that it carried on in their real lives too.

“Oh yeah,” Pine responded when asked if the rivalry was real. “[There were] a lot of games of Go Fish off set, just you know, Old Maid, Scrabble, Words with Friends…Cribbage, Mahjong.”

Pine and Hardy were also open about transitioning from their more action-inspired roles in “Star Trek” and “The Dark Knight” to a more light-hearted comedy.

“I enjoyed it very much,” Pine said. “I liked the fact that we had a great script that Simon Kinberg had worked on and gave us, but really the fun of it was getting to know people and kind of working off one another, taking our cue off of Chelsea Handler…She is fun to watch.

Living in the glare of a media life can be a blinding reality, but not for Reese Witherspoon. As she enters her second decade as a major film star, the Southern-born beauty has evolved into the quintessential modern woman on her own terms and with identity intact. Now this Oscar winner’s incredibly diversified life is inspiring some bold choices beyond the juggling act, at least on screen. She’s tackling her first ever action film done in the classic Reese-style: starring as a woman at the center of a romantic battle in This Means War.

JORGE CARREON: We should have seen this coming. Reese Witherspoon, action star! It was cool to see you in this kind of film. Was that really you behind the wheel during that final car chase?
REESE WITHERSPOON: [LAUGHS] I have a tendency lately to be doing a lot of stunt work.  I did all my stunt work on Water For Elephants, too.  It was a big stunt year.  Now I’m taking a break because I’m a little bit accident-prone. [SMILES]

As you know Reese was on Ellen Show last Friday. I finally managed to cap the whole interview with Reese but sadly I wasn’t able to find the whole show online to watch. The only clip I came across is the one I posted earlier here. You can enjoy these for now:

In collaboration with Rotten Tomatoes and its parent company, Flixster, The Chronicle presents the critical consensus of Reese Witherspoon’s best-reviewed films. His latest film, “This Means War,” is at Bay Area theaters. (The figure listed is the percentage of critics who have rated the film positively, based on reviews listed at rottentomatoes.com.)

92% Election (1999) Smart, scathing and funny, this film about a high school teacher working on student elections, directed by Alexander Payne (“The Descendants”), blends biting satire with surprisingly thoughtful comedy and solid performances from stars Matthew Broderick as the teacher and Witherspoon as an overachieving student.

89% The Man in the Moon (1991) It’s sentimental, and some viewers may feel manipulated by the melodramatic final act, but this finely drawn coming-of-age story set in 1957 Louisiana boasts an excellent cast – including Witherspoon in her film debut.

86% Pleasantville (1998) Filled with lighthearted humor, timely social commentary and dazzling visuals, this inventive film in which two 1990s teenagers (Tobey Maguire and Witherspoon) find themselves living in a 1950s sitcom is an artful blend of subversive satire and well-executed Hollywood formula.

82% Walk the Line (2005) Superior acting – particularly from Witherspoon in her best-actress Oscar-winning role as June Carter Cash – and authentic crooning capture the emotional subtleties of the legend of Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) and his inevitable downfall with a freshness that is a pleasure to watch.

76% Freeway (1996) A modern update on “Little Red Riding Hood,” this is an audacious black comedy with a star-making performance from the young Witherspoon as the delinquent on the run from a social worker who travels to her grandmother’s house.
