Unlikely lesbian fantasies
2008-02-26 17:56:00
Here?s an unlikely lesbian fantasy: Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon. I?ve never written a post on either of them, but seeing them together is like some kind of weird science experiment; they both have the same shaped head. They?re like aliens from another planet, and I just want to probe them a little longer.Source: www.Hollywoodtuna.com

"Zodiac" snubbed by Oscars
2008-02-24 00:50:00
"No surprise, and absolutely proper: Roger Deakins for shooting both "No Country for Old Men" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (though I hope they don't cancel each other out). But nothing for "Zodiac "? At the very least it should have received a nomination for its amazing visual effects. But unless you've seen the Director's Cut DVD (or some Digital Domain clips on YouTube) you probably wouldn't have known they were effects. That's how good they are".Looking at the odds, "Atonement" is an unlikely best picture because its director (Joe Wright) wasn't nominated. "Michael Clayton" and "Juno" lack an editing nomination, which (statistically speaking) is are crucial to winning the top prize. On the other hand, "Michael Clayton" is honored in three acting categories, for George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton -- and guess which branch of the Academy is the biggest? "No Country for Old Men" didn't claim a lead acting slot, perhaps because i...

"Juno" and the Female Memes
2008-02-22 12:43:00
"Listening to the non-stop one-liners and biting world-weary observations that come from the main character in Juno may have caused a crisis of coolness among some audience members. This 21st century antiheroine has given some people the disconcerting feeling of not "getting" her, accusing screenwriter Diablo Cody (the pen name of Brook Busey-Hunt) of having drawn Juno (played by the talented Ellen Page) as a goofy and uncontactable character.This young woman ?"avant-garde posturing mixed with a post-punk naïve spirit"? has certainly proven to grate on a lot of people's nerves, through her odd screen persona. For some cinephiles this is new proof of marketing-savvy mass entrancement, a deceitful "feel good" story that tricks us into believing in happiness ever after.I think the film can alternatively be seen as the origin of a new female meme, a redefinition of "Peter Pan's Never Land" as "Eternal Pun and Negative Land". Ellen Page delivers another challenging performance after he...

The next Johnny Depp
2008-02-20 13:26:00
The struggle I have in mind is the far weightier struggle over who will be the Johnny Depp of the Millennial Generation.So yes, Depp is a hero to us all, this despite the undeniable fact that he is a goateed Francophile, which is saying rather a lot about his redeeming qualities. For years I've wanted to write a book titled Captain Jack's Guide to Management, divining the Shinto-inspired code of business success buried deep beneath Captain Jack Sparrow's wild-eyed witticisms as spouted in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Alas, there have been no takers as yet.I'll also add, briefly, that I really love the movie Edward Scissorhands and that when I met a really lovely yet very skinny and pale young woman, my brilliant friend dubbed her, "Edward Sisterhands," as though she were, um, Edward Scissorhands' sister. Oh heck, you get the idea.Anyway, I loved Holes and Disturbia as much as the next red-blooded American, but when LaBeouf addressed the assembled hordes at Comic-Con ...

Holden Caulfield, Donnie Darko, Juno
2008-02-15 11:40:00
"A boy can't deal with real people, so instead he befriends a giant, grotesque rabbit"."Donnie hardly recognizes himself: Plagued by fits of sleepwalking and vivid hallucinations of a six-foot metallic rabbit with monstrous teeth, he feels totally out of control, unable to decipher what is real. Panicked by the world around him and terrified of being alone, he finds himself unable to connect with other people. ... A contemporary Holden Caulfield, he alternates between kindness and cruelty, boldness and fear, hope and despair. The film never sugarcoats its protagonist's failings, and Gyllenhaal doesn't sweeten the portrait, revealing a rebellious teenager so rude to his mother, we cringe".

Michael Cera Video

I really like Michael Cera. I'm revisiting some of his old episodes in the TV sitcom "Arrested Development" and I'm pleasantly surprised of his comedic talent and intuitiveness. He's my geek-crush, weirdos, his awkward smile makes him sweet, unassuming and even naïve, but however keeping at the same time a mysterious gaze beyond his years.

Kirsten in Rehab
2008-02-08 11:09:00
"Kirsten Dunst is snuggled in tight at the swank Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah for treatment for her addiction issues, but sources say that she is not doing well.?She?s not doing well. People were pushing her to go in there but there was no intervention? She has been partying hard for a while and I?m sure the Heath Ledger thing put people over the edge. She?s been crying a lot lately, a lot built up. ?Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It?s good she?s getting herself help.?Things came to a head for Kirsten when she failed to show up for her own Glamour magazine party after a night are hard partying at the Sundance Film Festival. Her reps said she ?wasn?t feeling well? but we all know that?s code for ?she?s coming down and took a handful of Xanax to sleep.? Source: www.Hollywoodbackwash.com

Legally blonde, woman of will
2008-02-06 16:02:00
"Whether her character's husband is a terrorist or not isn't the crux of Rendition. More important is the question of the ethics and legality of the US government's policy in protecting people's safety. Gyllenhaal informs me in our interview, which follows Witherspoon's, that he received a letter from a lawyer whose client had his penis slashed with a razor blade during interrogation. He also directly quotes Streep's steely character in the film: "This is nasty business. There are upwards of 7000 people in central London alive tonight because of information that we elicited just this way from one person."Rendition director Gavin Hood (an Oscar winner with Tsotsi) is not averse to admitting to using his cast's star power to bring the debate to a wider audience. He calls Witherspoon his "all-American girl Trojan horse". But the actress, despite having the distinction of being a direct descendent of John Witherspoon, a signatory to the declaration of American independence, refus...

Movie Review: "Juno" (2007)
2008-02-04 10:45:00
"Juno " (2007), directed by Jason Reitman ("In God We Trust", "Thank You for Smoking") and written by ex-stripper/blogger Diablo Cody, starts with Juno MacGuff, played by Ellen Page ("Hard Candy", "Mouth to Mouth", "An American Crime"), walking to a drugstore in a small suburb of Minnesota while drinking a gallon of Sunny Delight juice. She is a 16-year-old burn-out who was named Juno after Zeus’s wife: "She was supposed to be really beautiful but really mean. Like Diana Ross."Juno uses a particular slang with frequent private jokes, allusions to pop culture and to her preferred indie low-fi bands. After a first sexual encounter with her best friend, track runner Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera, "Arrested Development", "Superbad"), she thinks she might be pregnant, so she takes three pregnancy tests under the sarcastic eye of the clerk, Rollo (Rainn Wilson) who makes a series of inappropriate remarks like, "So what’s the prognosis, Fertile Myrtle?"When she discovers she's actually ...

Tribute to Heath
2008-02-02 08:40:00
On January 22, 2008, Ledger was found dead in his fourth-floor apartment at 421 Broome Street in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City.[20][21] He was found at 3:26 p.m. EST by a housekeeper and a massage therapist, who entered the bedroom to find him face down and unconscious at the foot of his bed with sleeping pills on a nearby night table.[22][23] Police said that they also found prescription medication in the bathroom and that there were "no obvious signs" of suicide, nor did they suspect foul play.[24]An initial autopsy on January 23 proved inconclusive[25] at determining Ledger's cause of death. The medical examiner's office stated it will take about 10 days to complete the investigation.[26]In reaction to his death, former partner Michelle Williams was reported as saying that she was "devastated" at the loss and had boarded a plane to New York City.[28]A friend of Ledger's, Helena Christensen, who was on her way to Heath 's apartment when she learned of his death, paid a...

Young actors
2008-01-31 14:26:00
"In the wake of Heath Ledger?s tragic death, I contend that he was the most promising young actor working today. While we are all eagerly awaiting his portrayal of The Joker in this summer's The Dark Knight, his performances in Brokeback Mountain, Candy, I'm Not There, and Monster's Ball spoke for themselves. Now that he has died, we will never see what he was capable of, but it makes us wonder where he would have fit in. Because of this, here are the most promising actors under the age of 30. You can decide where Heath would have fit into this list, but if he was still living, I would have put him right at the top. He will be missed, but these men will continue on in his absence.10) Seth Rogen (25)Both Segel and Rogen first made it big as stars of Judd Apatow?s Freaks and Geeks. I first became aware of Segel as Marshall on How I Met Your Mother, and he has gotten a lot of mainstream attention for his hilarious role as Rogen?s friend in Knocked Up.

"Zia (Patrick Fugit) is a lonely young man who, saddened by his recent breakup with his blonde girlfriend Desiree (Leslie Bibb), decides in a fit of depression after listening to a depressing song, to cut his wrists in the bathroom. As the tile becomes covered with blood, he falls unconscious to the floor, his last moment a flash of a dust bunny in a corner he had missed while cleaning."Wristcutters: A Love Story " is the directorial debut of Croatian Goran Dukic, who developed the script at the Sundance Screenwriters Lab in 2004, based on a short story by Israeli writer/actor Etgar Keret titled "Kneller?s Happy Campers". Dukic studied cinema in Zagreb and later at the American Film Institute, specializing in shorts. One of them, "Mirta uci statistiku" (1991), was critically well received, heralded as one of the best Croatian films. Dealing with the controversial subject of suicide, Wristcutters, after being a nominee at Sundance 2006 for the Grand Jury Award, won the best feature aw...

Jake and Tobey on the set of "Brothers"
2008-01-08 01:27:00
"Check out friends Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal chatting it up outside of Votre Sante, a restaurant in Brentwood today. Jake spotted Tobey and his wife Jennifer Meyer with their beautiful daughter, Ruby, while they were waiting for a table and stopped to say hello. Jennifer's dad, Ron Meyer, who is the head of Universal Studios, also came over to say hello to Jake. Wait, the head of Universal has to wait for table? Crazy.Jake and Tobey are starring in an upcoming flick entitled Brothers which they are shooting New Mexico. Remember when Jake almost became Spiderman after Tobey hurt his back? They do share some similar facial characteristics so a movie where they play brothers makes sense. I guess we'll have to wait until it's release in 2009 to see if it works!
