Pitt & Norton in State of Play

brad pitt and edward norton

Brad Pitt & Edward Norton gave us Fight Club ... Now they're getting back together on screen to give us another movie by the title of State of Play!
The movie is a political thriller based on the BBC miniseries of the same name.
While Pitt will play a political reporter, Norton plays a scandalized congressman whose ascent to Washington's group of power brokers is threatened by a police investigation into the mysterious murder of his mistress! Yup! Pitt is going to probe the woman's death and will become romantically involved with Norton's estranged wife.

Did you like Fight Club? Do you think State of Play will be a strong movie?

Voltron is Coming! Yahoo!

Voltron

If you grew up in the 80's like me, you'll definitely remember the exciting cartoon Volrton ... Well, be joyous & happy! 'Cause Voltron is going to hit the big screen!
New Regency is working with the Mark Gordon Co. to turn "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" into a live-action film. That formula worked out pretty well already this year -- "Transformers" anyone?

As much as we'd love to rip these people and throw in a line like, "Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have an original idea anymore?" -- it's freakin' "Voltron," man!

A New X-Files Movie Coming Soon!

X-files is one of the TV series that’s been a great hit. Running from 1993-2002 it has garnered 3 Golden Globe Awards for best TV drama. I used to watch it a lot and I used to be a big X-files fan, I say used to because these days I’ve not much time to watch TV… it’s sad I know. But since there’s a plan to make a second movie of it I’d just watch it instead. My favorite characters Mulder and Scully played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be revived! Duchovny will receive the script for the film that has been written by creator Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz.

What's up with JJ Abrams' Cloverfield?

If you went to the movies to see Transformers, then you must have seen the strange trailer of something caught on a home camcorder ... Lots of people, a party & a New York bang! ... What's that all about?
WE got a few things out of it ... It's a JJ Abrams production ... Which is cool! Then it's going to hit theaters on 18.1.2008 ... That's all!
It seems this secret movie project is named -for now- Clovergfield ... But Abrams gives us a bit more hints about how this strange trailer fits in with the whole movie thing:
"I’m very active on this one, as I plan to be on all Bad Robot projects. The only things I’ve been involved with which I haven't really had any creative role were What About Brian and Six Degrees ...

Evan Almighty Strikes!

evan almighty

'Evan Almighty' topped last weekend's US box office chart with $32.1 million.
The movie, which is a Biblical comedy, stars Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.
Just like in 'Bruce AlMighty', Freeman plays god! How interesting!
But, Evan didn't get to the $68 million opening line of Bruce!
According to the head of distribution at Universal Pictures, 'Evan Almighty' will have a long shelf life because of its family-oriented PG rating.
Did you watch the movie? If you could give it a score from 1 to 10 ... what would you give it?
Was 'Bruce Almighty' a better movie?

Fantastic Four and Oceans 13 Fight it Out!

These two sequels have been widely awaited and anticipated and it seemed for a while that the star-studded ‘Oceans 13’ starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt would take the lead, but things seem to be shaping up for ‘Fantastic Four’. Whilst ‘Fantastic Four’ made nearly $57 million, ‘Oceans Thirteen’ made a relatively measly $19.1 million. ‘Fantastic Four’ even surpassed the last movies ticket sales by just $1 million.

Spider Man 3 Remains on Top

Although Spider Man 3 fans are not loving the 3rd sequel like the first two, Spider Man 3 has stayed on top of the American & Canadian box office for the second week in a row!

Music and lyrics worse than just a chick flick!

music and lyrics poster

Unfortunately, I had the ‘displeasure’ of being dragged to see Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore’s new movie ‘Music and Lyrics’! Before I tell you how much I hated it, here is a plot summary: basically Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) is an ex member of the successful 80’s band PoP, but now he is out of work until the new teen sensation 'Cora' asks him to write a song for her!
Now Alex isn’t the best lyricist ... but by chance he finds Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) who turns out to be able to rhyme anything! So they write the lyrics, get the job and fall in love.

‘Shrek The Third’ to Include Diaz & Timberlake?

Shrek The Third

For the third installment of Shrek which will go by the name of ‘Shrek the third’, Jeffrey Katzenberg was sensitive about putting the ex-couple Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake in the same movie, so out of respect he asked for Cameron’s blessing. Mature and intelligent, Cameron said to him: ‘If that's something you want to do, then great. Obviously I'm a fan and admirer of Justin’s too.'!
The plot of ‘Shrek the Third’ includes Shrek’s father in law and King of the ‘land of Far, far away’ getting sick and when Shrek is looked up to as the new King, he calls upon Puss in Boots and Donkey to crown Artie, Fiona’s cousin, instead!

A Grindhouse Failure

Grindhouse

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino have collaborated to put together an absolute failure of a movie. The idea of the movie is original, its two horror movies put together to give the audience a two film feature with fake film trailers in the middle. The two feature’ idea was the first failure so now in most countries they’ve split the movies so each will be launched by itself. The movie seems to be such a failure that the makers of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are cutting it down so as to not repeat the failing fate of Grindhouse according to Radcliffe: "People should be able to let that go. You can still read the book and the film is chock-full of stuff. The fans will be pleased,".

hillary swank in the reaping

Hillary Swank is a good actress ... Hey! She won not one, but two Oscars! But what was she thinking when she accepted a role in the thriller movie The Reaping?! Why, you might ask? Simply, the movie is terrible!
The script & plot are dumb ... & that's not good!
Swank plays a professor who is called to a Louisiana town whose atmosphere is sleepy & gloomy! The first thing that swank sees -which doesn't surprise her- is a river of blood!

Rocky Balboa

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved Rocky movies. Even at the age of 10 while watching Rocky 4 for the millionth time, I knew what I was in for. A contestant of superior power to that of Rocky, some macho training scenes with awesome uplifting music that makes you wanna punch the first person you see, and a dramatic, bloody, exaggerated final fight which usually goes all the way up to the 15th round preceded by different variations of “Gonna Fly Now”. This is what we were given and we fell for it every time! And why should you expect anything more from the sixth and final installment of the beloved hero?

This one really made me think…

Dragons, cobwebs, penguins were all not enough to keep Will Smith out of the top 10 today as his latest movie The Pursuit of Happyness made the number one spot at the box office.

Although we haven't seen him for a while, Will comes up every now and then to remind us of his presence. His previous hit movies such as Independence Day and Men in Black are just a few reminders.
Now he's in a new sort of film, a father and son drama to be exact.

Channing Tatum in Step Up

channing tatum in step up

Step Up is Channing Tatum's latest movie.
It's a movie about a troubled teenager from Baltimore, who finds himself doing some community service at a top performing arts school.
Tatum, 26, plays the character of Rebel Tyler Gage, who gets sent to Maryland School of the arts after some trouble with the law, & meets a privileged ballet dancer, Nora (Jenna Dewan), who just happens to be searching for a partner.
You can say that with all the romantic story lines & impressive dance scenes, Step Up is definitely a Chick Flick!

Casino Royale

Casino Royale

You’re in for an all new James Bond!
Ok, before I tell you how great it was, let me tell you how it got out of the usual Bond tradition.
The car didn’t shoot rockets, there wasn’t a huge structure for the ending that blows up and his watch doesn’t shoot lasers. The absence of these elements is what made it a down-to-earth James Bond that all ages can enjoy!

As for his personality, he’s more serious, more emotional, more violent and makes less jokes.
The action scenes were in a sense more “raw” giving it a serious feel, in addition to the gorgeous scenery, sexy women, and fancy cars.

Penguins Happy Feet Beat James Bond!

happt feet

The latest Bond movie Casino Royale, made it to the top of the box office last weekend with around $40.6 Million! But that was last weekend! This weekend, the animated penguin movie Happy Feet, seems to have topped even Bond! The movie, who stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman & Robin Williams brought in a whopping $42.3 Million in three days!
Happy Feet is about a tiny little penguin that cannot sing like all the other penguins, but who sure can tap dance!
This puts the controversial Borat movie in third place.
But, this could change with the release of the official box office list later today.

The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada

I'm not going to do one of those "The book was better" reviews. This movie was surprisingly entertaining. It's a story about a naive young woman (Anne Hathaway) comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city's biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)
The movie was really sweet. I thought that it gave me an educational insight into the world of fashion that I've been so distant from lately.

Snakes on a Plane

Snakes on a Plane

I watched this movie hoping it would be all that it was supposed to be. It got huge reviews and topped the box office at one point. But this movie is a good example of how my taste differs from the rest of the planet.

Sure it was a fun movie to watch, sure it had Sam Jackson being as bad-ass as ever, sure it was a new idea with an extremely ordinary title, but how it got such good feed-back I will never understand. It was shallow at many points, the acting of some of the passengers was corny and cheesy. And even the snakes were so artificial, you can tell from a mile away that they are poor CGI.

The trailer is wrong.

Is it a horror movie? Nop. Is it an action movie? Nop. I can’t tell what it is.

Forced to rely on Elliot (the voice of Ashton), a fast-talking mule deer, the two form an unlikely friendship and must quickly rally other forest animals if they are to form a rag-tag army against the hunters.

A scene in the movie, has the Bond Aston Martin flipping & rolling seven times after a nitrogen cannon propels the vehicle through the air!
The previous record of six rolls was performed by a Top Gear stunt man last year.
The stunt wasn't performed by Craig -naturally- but by stunt double Adam Kirley .

Here are four movies to look forward to & they all drop before Christmas!

Yes I did, and it was great. I thought that by now, the fantastic horror movie would start to decline, this being the third installation.
But it didn't, it in fact exceeded my expectations really especially since Jigsaw is still alive.

I won’t spoil any part of the story, but all you need to know is the traps this time included, weapons, devices, chains, bombs, acid, skin rippers, ice, pig guts, guns...basically all lock stock and barrel.

It’s a story about a best man (Wilson) who stays on as a houseguest with the newlyweds, much to the couple's annoyance.

Yes, I did laugh, but only because Owen Wilson made it so. Without him, this movie would have been pathetic! It went on and on and on in a meaningless cycle of meaningless events that could have been summarized in no more than 30 minutes. To my shock, I discovered that the movie was only a little over than an hour and a half which to me felt like 3 hours at least.

Casino Royale Trailer & Photos

daniel craig is agent 007

Everyday I get more convinced that the upcoming 007 movie, Casino Royale is going to be a smash hit!
At the beginning, I was 100% sure that Daniel Craig replacing Pierce Brosnan was a big mistake & that the movie will be a big flop!
But it seems Daniel turned out to be a hottie! & the movie will get you on your toes!
The trailer gives us a glimpse of what the movie will be like, I got the notion it will be really sexy, full of suspense & action filled!
Although I didn't like Eva Green that much. -sorry!- But I am still excited about it!
Casino Royale is out in theatres in the US on November 17th ... I can't wait!

Check out Casino Royale Trailer ... hot!

John Tucker Must Die (2006)

John Tucker Must Die

I’ve grown out of the “High-school” genre but this one was really cool. I have to admit, this is one of the very few teen movies that I really liked and laughed a lot at. It’s a story about 3 ex-girlfriends of a serial cheater who set up their former lover to fall for the new girl in town so they can watch him get his heart broken.
John Tucker, played by Jesse Metcalfe (a 28 year-old playing the part of a 17 year-old as usual) was surprisingly good. Ashanti is also in the movie playing the role of ex-girlfriend Heather who looks really hot!

Harrison Ford Ready to Play Indiana Jones

Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones

Harrison Ford says he feels "fit to continue" to play Indiana Jones despite growing older. He's 64 and still in good shape. He said he was delighted to team up with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. I can't wait to see this new Indiana Jones movie co-written by Lucas and directed by Spielberg. How could it go wrong?

"We did three films that stay within the same block of time. We need to move on for artistic reasons and obvious physical reasons," Ford said at a news conference. "I feel fit to continue and bring the same physical action."

The Grudge 2

The Grudge 2

Did the first Grudge scare you? This one won’t.
I watched it in pitch black darkness and it didn’t scare me at all. I supposed I could say there were a few good bits but seriously, this movie is a big looser.
My girlfriend was terrified from the first one, and even today when the word “Grudge” comes up, she’s still scared. I think if I can convince her to watch this new movie, she’ll be cured.

During the movie, there is a lot of brainwave activity meaning that you’re using most of your powers to understand what’s going on. Some directors may be under the impression that they’re giving the audience something to think about during a movie but really, it’s nothing more than plain confusing. But, I might be too harsh. There seems to be a community out there that actually liked it and were scared. Teens thought this movie was terrifying. So there must be some sort of generation gap.

Crank

Not a breath from start to finish!
This movie is probably the fastest, most nerve-racking action movie ever made!

It’s a story about a professional assassin (the guy from Transporter) who learns his rival Cantillo has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops. And so throughout the film, he tries his best to keep his heart pumping.

His and ours alike!

Pitt & Stone Do Some Dirty Tricks!

Brad Pitt is going to team up with Sharon Stone for a movie about the Watergate scandal.
The movie is entitled Dirty Tricks & it focuses on the wife of Richard Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell, who was responsible for bringing her husband's actions to light.
The cast not only includes Pitt & Stone, but also Meryl Streep, Annette Bening & Gwyneth Paltrow are set to have important roles as well.
According to Ryan Murphy, the director of Dirty Tricks, the movie is really about the women in Watergate.
It seems Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard is also working on a Watergate movie, his entitled Frost/Nixon, which focuses on David Frost's 1977 television interviews with former United States President Richard Nixon.

Maybe the worse comedy I’ve seen…like ever!
It’s a story about a wannabe dad (Shawn Wayans) who mistakes a vertically challenged (really small) criminal on the lam (Marlon Wayans) as his newly adopted son.
My girlfriend didn’t want to watch this movie and so I went and watched it on DVD. Oh how right she was! I still pity the dollar I used to buy this fake DVD with! It was such a pretty dollar that could have given me much more joy had I spent it on chewing gum or something!

Top Ten Chick Flicks Guys Love To Hate

Chick Flicks

What exactly is a chick flick? Well, it’s basically not Star Trek. The term ‘chick flick’ is now so commonly used that it’s even in the dictionary! Webster defines a chick flick as "a motion picture intended to appeal especially to women." Men probably define it as: “Approximately two hours of utter nonsense whose events can be known, understood and explained simply by watching the trailer all for the purpose of maybe getting lucky after it!”
If you didn’t get lucky after it, I’m sorry. But still, all us guys praise your ability to stay and watch. You’re an inspiration to us all!
Check out the top ten ‘Chick Flicks” you should try to avoid:

Thelma & Louise – 1991
This one must be the ultimate! Guys, prepared to get your ass kicked, your ego smashed and your manhood squashed! Even if your partner begs you to rent this one, please, and for the sake of all us wannabe-macho guys, DON'T!

Dallas might not come to a screen near you!

dallas

First Jennifer Lopez dropped her role, now it’s Luke Wilson, Shirley MacLaine & Meg Ryan’s turn as well!
The Dallas movie plan doesn’t seem to be going as smooth as it should be.
The only actor to have stuck with his role is John Travolta as JR Ewing.
Now, they want to reduce the $65 million budget due to “market research” indicating there isn’t much recognition from the young adult & teen crowd. In straight English that means no one really cares about Dallas !!!

It's a Pitt Dunk as Brad Produces Julia Roberts

Brad Pitt & Julia Roberts in the Mexican

Writer Elizabeth Gilbert reportedly turned down many actresses seeking to play her memoirs "East, Love and Pray," but Brad Pitt has swooped in and scooped the rights to produce the film, with Julia Roberts to star.

Pitt's Plan B production company has "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy on board to adapt the book to screen, and direct.

Roberts co-starred with Pitt in Ocean's Eleven and The Mexican. In this role, Roberts will play Gilbert. The story is she had it "all" -- or what she once considered that: a husband, big apartment and a weekend home. While trying to get pregnant, she realized this was not fulfilling, nor what she wanted. A painful divorce ensures, and she takes offf to find herself, spanning four countries in the global journey.

Blackjolina Not OK, But White Berry Is Fine?

Didn't we call it? There are plenty of headlines about Halle Berry playing a white woman in "Class Act" and the climate seems to think that's just fine. And now that Angelina Jolie is playing a black woman in "Mighty Heart," protests are yelling that it isn't fair, that they should have found a black woman, like Halle Berry, to play the role.

Both films are based on true stories.

An inside source on "Class Act" reported that the filmmakers felt it was important to find the right actress to play the role, rather than the right white actress.

Horror: An American Haunting

An American Haunting

American Haunting was a really spectacular movie. I watched it on DVD last night just before bed hoping that it would make me fall asleep. Oh boy was I wrong. I couldn’t move my eyes away from the suspense and anticipation! Since I’m a huge fan of the horror genre, I immediately saw 3 or 4 movies in one. It was like Poltergeist meets A Nightmare on Elm Street who then meet up with The Grudge and hang out with The Exorcist all in the 19th century.

It terrified me simply because there was no blood (negligible amount) and no stupid monsters! It used ‘spirits,’ which always makes me chilly, in addition to brilliant direction capabilities and excellent acting guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

For those of you who don’t know Martin Scorsese, he’s the one of the greatest directors of all time. The Irony is that even after 6 Oscar Nominations, he’s yet to win one! But his latest movie The Departed (2006) just might do the trick!

Some of his greatest movies that you may or may not know he directed are: Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), The Color of Money (1986), Goodfellas (1990), Michael Jackson’s Bad video (one of my favorite), Gangs of New York (2002) and The Aviator (2004).

Does anyone see the irony like I do? The clone wars have been cloned!!!

"It basically has all the main characters" such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucas said, but the stars who played them in the movies won't voice them for the TV show, Lucas said in an interview.

A Look Back: 67 Years Gone with the Wind

Gone with the Wind

Gone with the Wind is one of the greatest American classics ever made and almost 70 years later, it's still a loveable movie to watch!
For those of you who haven't seen it, you shouldn't miss out. Not only is it a war classic which depicts heroism, love and chivalry at its best, it's also quite funny and sad at the same time.

What makes Gone with the Wind so interesting is the fact that it was made in 1939! And since then, it has made over 390 million dollars world-wide. (any similarity in numbers? 1939,390?)
But that's since 1939...according to estimates, Gone with the Wind actually made 2,699 BILLION!!! How?
The list of highest-grossing films of all time says that at Number 1, Titanic (1997) made 1.86 Billion dollars but if you take into consideration the inflation rate and the numbers of movie-goers in 1939, the total estimated profit generated by Gone with the Wind is 2.66 billion in today’s money!!!

Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has inked to star in the movie about a true-life tale of a teacher from Nevada, USA who ran for Congress after being challenged by her pupils to do so. Berry will play Tierney Cahill, a teacher from Reno, Nevada, who ran for office on the condition that her students would help her with the campaign. The movie, Class Act, is set to begin filming in the summer of 2007.

In an unusual casting protocol, the film's production team cast Berry in the part of Cahill, who is a white woman. An inside source reports that they felt it was important to find the right actress to play the role, rather than the right white actress.

New on DVD: X-Men III

X-Men III

This one must be the cream of the crop. It’s very rare that the third and final part of a trilogy is the best one of the bunch, except for Lord of the Rings, but X-Men III really pulled it off. It was one of those trilogies that just got better with every episode. The effects were fantastic, the story was ‘good’ and the acting was flawless. However, the angle thing was pretty lame. Good idea but badly executed.

See No Evil

See No Evil is one of those movies that adds nothing to the world of horror movies. No new killers, no new story and definitely no new victims. Yes, it’s all been done before about 2-3 billion times! See no evil... then don’t see this movie! However, if you’re an advocate of disgusting movies then this one is definitely for you! It’s a movie that makes you say: “eeeewww!!” all the time…and when I say all the time, I really mean it! The movie is full of disgusting and dirty scenes and it would be a good idea to bring a bucket of popcorn just in case you need to vomit. So why am I even bothering with writing about it in the fist place? Well, as far as horror movies go, the death scenes are actually original and dear I say it…quite good! The ideas are good and not been done. Those poor teenagers really died hard!

1 is the best with the best story, music, acting, and can you believe it…effects! I thought that special effects were supposed to get better as time went by but apparently it doesn’t work that way with Robo.

When you have Michael Douglas as your main character, just tell me, how can you go wrong? Kiefer Sutherland famous for the hit TV series 24 maybe the only good actor in this movie and of course, the legendary Kim Basinger.
In short, this is a high budget movie with high budget actors and actresses with a minimum outcome!

There have been a number of “Verses” movies out there such as “Alien Vs Predator” and “Freddy Vs Jason.” If there were such a thing as “Predator Vs Terminator” who do you think would win? And if so, can this movie be done?

But why are “Verses” movies so interesting? Its fun to see the overlapping of heroes and villains from our favorite movies. But it’s hard to take sides!

Nacho Libre is one of the strangest comedies I’ve ever had the pain and pleasure of watching. The poor light, horrible picture, terrible acting and pathetic storyline makes this movie one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Yes, it’s cool! Jack Black is superbly funny and plays the part with strength and passion. It’s about a firer who lives in a Mexican orphanage who decides to leave the convent and peruse his life as a professional wrestler.

This movie is funny, and when I say funny, I mean stomach-aching funny! You’ll be watching quietly and from nowhere, you’ll burst out load in laughter. My mother thought I was insane because she passes by my room listening to outbursts of laughter every now and again.

I haven’t seen a good horror movie in quite some time now. My friend recommended “The Hills Have Eyes” and as usual I thought it would be just another mindless horror movie with zombies, lots of blood and police that never show up.
I was right!
But, I have never enjoyed such a movie like that before. It was actually good and not stupid.
The story has been done before.
The monsters have been done before.
The ending was nothing special.
The acting was normal.
Looking back on it, I can’t think of a single thing this movie had to offer which was original. So why did I like it so much?
I still don’t know!

Grease is the Word!

Grease

In 1978 a little movie called “Grease” was born. It was the kind of movie to make you feel good. It was the kind of movie that made “being young” a great and wonderful thing.
I grew up with Grease and its songs will be engraved in my head forever.
The Special Edition DVD has just come out packed with deleted scenes, a sing along version and an interview with Olivia-Newton John (Sandy.)
Those of you who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s will have seen this movie a dozen times but as soon as it comes on TV or the radio, you immediately feel warm and safe again.

The Lake House

The Lake House

What could a romantic drama staring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have to offer?
A whole lot!
The Lake House is one of those “feel good” movies that we’ve missed for a long time. The acting is impeccable!
Keanu and Sandra really work great together. If you watch this film, notice the rather boring scene when they’re talking on the porch. They’re both nervous like when you first meet a girl on a blind date. It’s so real. No wonder the director chose these two experienced actors for the role. Oh, not to mention that they’ve already met on a bus a long time ago…Speed 1994!
It might be a little confusing at the beginning; it might be a bit too long as well. You might end up discussing the ending for hours with your friends. But don’t try to find a 1+1=2 logic to this movie. Just sit back and enjoy a romantic fantasy as I’m sure you will.

Lucky Number Slevin

Lucky Number Slevin

Good news for all you action and spy loving movie goers out there. Lucky Number Slevin just got luckier by hitting the DVD shelves. Don’t miss out on this comic action classic.
The story was spellbinding, the action was classic, the acting was top notch and how couldn’t it be?
With a cast like Bruce Willis, the wonderful Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett and the ‘to die for’ Lucy Liu, how on earth can you go wrong?
It’s one of those movies where you spend the first 30 minutes trying to figure out just what on earth is going on. But believe me, whenever that happens, then you know you’ve got a hard-hitting thriller just taking it’s time to unravel itself. If you want to think about it in another way, it was a bit like Sin City meets Goodfellas. You have the setting of the Goodfellas and the comic-like characters of Sin City. This movie might not do well to encourage you to watch from the unattractive cover of the DVD but trust me on this one. The twist at the end is worth the while.

Click is Nothing Less Than Wonderful

Click

I won’t tell you what happens in this movie so please go and watch it the first chance you get.
Just to give you a quick outline, a man is given a remote control that can fast-forward and rewind his life. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? And actually it is fun until the remote starts taking control of his life!

Surprisingly, this Hollywood movie is actually about some pure, good, old-fashioned family traditions. I never thought Adem Sandler could be anything but a total jerk but he proved me wrong. Even though it’s actually a rip-off from an old TV mini-series called “Amazing Stories” by Steven Spielberg in the 1980’s, its still a joy to watch.

Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette

Kirsten Dunst's latest movie is a work about a naive Viennese girl who, in 1774, became the queen of France at age 19.
Dunst plays the iconic Queen of France Marie Antoinette, who might be the most misunderstood woman in history!
But there is no doubt that she was known for her kindness & compassion & her efforts to stay down to earth.
She was also loved by the people & thought to be among the sweetest ornaments of the fetes that embellished the royal court.
Her famous phrase, Let them eat cake, was also attributed to many other previous princesses! So, It isn't really accurate that she said that about the French people who were starving becasue they didn't have any bread.
The director f the movie is Oscar winning Writer/Director Sofia coppola.

The original British movie kept you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, leaving you uncomfortable with every disturbing event.
The ending was quite a twist as well.
But according to many critics, the new Wicker man fails to do the same!

The Devil Wears Prada Star Prefers Carpentry Over Stardom

The Devil Wears Prada

Yes, you got it right—Anne Hathaway, the 23-year old star in “The Devil Wears Prada” movie, prefers carpentry over stardom. She actually plans to quit Hollywood and become a carpenter someday!

That remains to be a plan yet, though, so Anne Hathaway fans out there need not worry yet about not seeing her in the big screen again. That is one of her goals for the next ten years, Anne says in an interview, adding that interior decorating is one of her passions so she’d love to learn how to make her own furniture.

While admitting that she is not quite at ease in front of the camera, Anne Hathaway has proven herself as a worthy actress in a number of films such as “The Princess Diaries,” the “Brokeback Mountain” and in the recent movie, “The Devil Wears Prada” by 20th Century-Fox, which by the way took in $27 million over opening weekend (way far stronger than expected).

This project would be venturing out farther than anything he's made previously.

Paradise Lost & Stardust

paradise lost

The newest movie projects in the works are two interesting ones, Paradise Lost, John Milton’s 1700's classic poem which depicts the temptation of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden – the characteristic battle of good versus evil.
The other project is interesting, at least for now, for its cast list! Stardust is a fantasy blockbuster being filmed in the highlands of Scotland. And the star list is really big; Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sienna Miller, Rupert Everett & Claire Danes.

Colin Farrell & Salma Hayek Nude !

colin & salma

Ask The Dust is a new movie starring Colin Farrell & Salma Hayek.
The movie is about Arturo & Camilla, an Italian & a Mexican who fall in love. It is nothing out of the ordinary, but if you watch it, you'll remember it as the movie where Colin Farrell & Salma Hayek got totally naked!
Hayek says that she was very nervous about the nude scene, but Farrell made her feel at ease.
She says: I finally came out of the dressing room, all covered up and Colin's completely naked, jumping around in the sand doing ballet dances. I started laughing and it relaxed me.
She also says: I expected him to be a bit nuts, but when we were naked he never looked down one time at my naked body - he looked me in my eyes.

If you would like a sneak peek at the new James Bond movie, the first production photos of the upcoming Casino Royale are out, and they are great!
Nude scenes in the water, aren't actually nude; Eva Green wore a strapless nude-colored brassiere and seawater-colored pants to blend into the ocean as she filmed an in-the-water scene.
When in the water, the actors aren't alone, the director, the camera men, the light people are all in there with them.
The photos are in some way funny!
