ANNE HATHAWAY

Rachel Getting Married is a tense look at a dysfunctional family coming together around a wedding. This is a Anne Hathaway Showcase. It is certainly an award winning performance of a woman tormented by the past, and daily fighting the daemon alcohol and the daemon drug. Kym out of rehab for the weekend to go to her sisters’ wedding must face every one of her daemons. It is a heart-tugging watch, not a tearjerker but exhausting, also because it is a wedding it is a celebration, and it is beautiful to watch. I loved this movie and I highly recommend it.

AUDREY TAUTOU

I just watched ” A Very Long Engagement” on cable, and I loved it. Audrey Tautou gives an heroic performance as a woman searching for her fiancé during World War I. She keeps on adding to her Iconic luster in every movie she stars in. Audrey Tautou is just a force of nature. This is a sprawling epic movie. Storytelling at it’s best. The acting and the script is magnificent, the photography is glorious. And surprise, Jodie Foster has a supporting role in this movie, and of course she is just fantastic. I liked this movie very much, and I recommend it.

SCARLETT JOHANNSON

Scarlett Johannson perfectly embodies the great melting pot nature of New York City – her father is a Danish architect and her mother an Ashkenazi Jew from the Bronx. They grew up with very little money, and her mother’s love for film served as a common point that they could rally around. Scarlett attended the prestigious Professional Childrens’ School and began acting in childhood. We first sat up and took notice with her role in the graphic novel adaptation Ghost World, but her real breakthrough came with 2003’s Lost In Translation, where she kept up with Bill Murray without breaking a sweat. Many more roles followed, as the Rubenesque beauty brought her creamy, milk-white skin and gorgeous body to the screen in films as diverse as Michael Bay’s The Island and Woody Allen’s Match Point. Throw in a music career and a ton of charity work and you have one class act who’s easy on the eyes.

SANDRA BULLOCK

LOS ANGELES — Sandra Bullock looks like a movie star as she lounges in a swanky hotel suite. She’s resplendent in her expensive chocolate designer dress and perfectly styled hair.

The actress’ facade might be resting comfortably in La-la Land, but her heart’s in her adopted hometown of Austin, Texas, where she lives with her husband Jesse James.

Bullock left the hairy Hollywood hype for the less pretentious Texan city almost seven years ago when she came to the conclusion that all the glitz was getting her glum.

As far as she’s concerned, L.A.’s a nice place to promote a movie, but she wouldn’t want to exist here anymore.

Those were the days, though. She had her Speed breakthrough, followed by another hit, While You Were Sleeping, and then there was the treadmill of movie upon movie.

Some were good, some not so good and some were in between — until 2000’s Miss Congeniality had Bullock showing up as producer and star.

Nothing improved for her, though. And along the way, she realized she was all about being a part of the movie business, not about being herself.

Now she’s the happily married owner of a downtown Austin bakery, but was in the city of angels to chat about her latest film, The Blind Side, which opens Nov. 20.

Based on a Michael Lewis non-fiction book, the John Lee Hancock movie version follows the teen years of pro football player, Michael Oher.

A homeless vagrant in Memphis, the picture tracks Oher, who’s allowed to enrol on a sports scholarship at Briarcrest Christian School, and is subsequently adopted by the school’s backers, the Tuohy family.

Bullock plays the feisty southern belle Leigh Anne Tuohy, who leads the charge to make the African-American Oher (Quinton Aaron) feel comfortable at the all-white Christian school and pushes him to excel at school and on the gridiron.

Country star Tim McGraw plays Leigh Anne’s husband, Sean. Real-life U.S. college coaches such as Nick Saban, Lou Holtz, Phil Fulmer and Tommy Tuberville have cameos.

Still, the driving force is Bullock. So it’s surprising to learn that Bullock initially turned down the role, which seems so right for her on screen.

“But I kept thinking it wasn’t going to work for me,” the 45-year-old says. “Politically, I am not like that person at all, and I don’t buy the Christians who use their banner like a shield.”

Writer-director Hancock, who spent time with the Tuohys to develop the film, persuaded Bullock to visit the family at their Memphis mansion.

The filmmaker says he knew Bullock would respond to the type-A personality. And she did.

Besides being exhausted from spending the day with Leigh Anne, Bullock admits she eventually became impressed with her, because “she walks the walk, and doesn’t just talk the talk.”

“And you don’t meet an energy like Leigh Anne’s, ever,” adds the actress. “So when I decided to do it, I felt a sense of fear in trying to tackle the portrayal, but also a sense of obligation.”

There was another reason she hesitated. Bullock doesn’t like to waste her time making a movie for the sake of it.

She did that too many times to count, during her “churning-them-out” phase, and she wasn’t always thrilled with the results, professionally, or with the after-effects, personally.

“Now, when I stare at a stack of scripts, I can’t bear to open them,” she admits. “I don’t want to step into that world. I want to enjoy where I am.”

That new Austin attitude seems to be working for her.

Pre-release buzz for Bullock’s Blind Side performance has been enthusiastic.

Last summer, she had a big hit with the romantic comedy, The Proposal, which earned an impressive $296 million US worldwide at the box office.

That’s thanks to Bullock, the lots-of-laughs script, and an oft-discussed scene when a nude Bullock slams into equally nude co-star Ryan Reynolds.

“Aside from all the right people and the right elements being in the right place,” jokes Bullock, “I think that the nudity in The Proposal had a great deal to do with it. Had I known, I would have done it a long time ago.”

You might have noticed that its getting a lot harder to find good deals in the newspaper. Thats because many sellers have realized that they can reach a much larger audience online, and find the person interested in their truck. However, the ability of the Internet to reach a large audience goes both ways.

That means that if you love trucks, your collection could turn out to be an excellent investment.

Of course, you will need to make sure that you keep your classic truck in good condition. A truck that’s been well treated will fetch a higher price as a vintage or antique vehicle than one that’s been neglected.

beautiful erotic lesbian movie

I loved the film. Because I loved the characters.
Did not like the ending.
Did not like the alternate ending.
I feel that if they were ever going to make love, it would have been off-campus, at Simone’s beach house.
Both characters were too bright to get busted like that.
They would have been too smart to sleep together in the Dorm.
I do not believe that the head mistress of the school would call the police so quickly, and bring scandal on her High Class Boarding School, scandal comes from the outside, not from the inside. Parents would be pulling their children out of that school so fast it would make your head swim. That situation would have been handled quietly and diplomatically. A Boarding School is a business. There would have been no arrests. In my humble opinion.
If the parent discovers something is going on, then you might get the arrest, and charges. But if it is discovered from the inside, teachers and students are moved around and or transferred, and everything is kept quiet, because you don’t want to be sued.
I sit and watch this movie, care about the characters, and then in the end the Writer/Director drags Simon off to jail like a common criminal, like someone who was caught exposing herself in public. That makes me feel bummed out. Nobody likes to have that feeling at the end of a movie. It also makes me feel as if the Writer did not care for Simone’s character. Did the writer feel that this is what Simone deserved, to be arrested in public, and humiliated.

What a Ride. I loved this Film. It had the feel of “Total Recall”. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson were great together. Scarlett was just gorgeous in this movie. Djimon Hounsou’s character of the Navy Seal mercenary type is very interesting. Djimon is the Blade Runner of this movie, able to be ruthless, but in the end compassionate, this is just one of the little gems in this movie that made me really enjoy it. Steve Buscemi, what can you say, Steve Buscemi is Steve Buscemi, Never a bad performance, Ever. The only complaint I have with the movie is the very final scene, Ewan and Scarlett on the boat. I felt that there should have been some close ups of the couple finally able to get away, it left me with sort of an empty feeling. The entire movie was building up to that final scene, and to give it such a short shrift, well it just did not make any sense. But I enjoyed the rest of the movie so much that I am prepared to overlook the short comings of the last scene. I give it 5 ***** Stars.

Cynthia Hawkins

Jules, a postman, is in love with a Diva and he loves opera. Jules secretly and illegally records a concert by Cynthia Hawkins, (The Diva). Cynthia Hawkins has never consented to have her performances recorded. Jules also manages to steal her dress. Jules hires a Black street prostitute to wear the dress and he makes love to her, an obvious Cynthia Hawkins substitute. He also happens, unbeknown to him, to be in possession of another recording of a young prostitute exposing the whereabouts of a gang of criminals and their accomplices in the police. The prostitute drops the recording in the bag of the postman’s moped moments before she is assassinated. Jules is then pursued by several parties: honest policemen, corrupted policemen and local gangsters, who want the prostitute recording, and Taiwanese gangsters who want the Diva recording. He manages to escape them thanks to a couple of his friends who save him. The street prostitute that Jules uses as a Cynthia Hawkins substitute, is somehow connected to the murdered prostitute. A thrilling (and brilliantly photographed) chase through the Paris Metro makes DIVA a International Classic, and one of my very favorite movies. When I saw this on the Big Screen, I was mesmerized by the beautiful photography, and the love story that evolves between Jules and the Diva. The films’ sound track is fantastic, it helps to keep you on the edge of your seat. 5*****Stars.
