This is not my type of movie, but I might enjoy it, specially because Anne Hathaway is has the leading role, and I have to say, I’m a big fan of her. We’ll have to wait until October to see if this movie is any good (though it looks like it will be).
When Kym returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel, she brings a long history of personal crisis and family conflict along with her. The wedding Party’s abundant cast of friends and relations have gathered for an idyllic weekend of feating, music and love, but Kym — with her black-comic one-liners and knack for bombshell drama — is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.
Megan Fox, the star of Transformers, is one of my new favorite actresses. I won’t say that it’s because I think it’s a talented actress…it’s just because I think she’s really beautiful, and really hot. She’s like a young Angelina Jolie.
These are only two photos of this gorgeous Hollywood actress, but as usual, you can see more photos of Megan Fox at the gallery.
That Transformers movie was not too bad, and she was specially hot in it. I hope Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen is way better, and hopefully Megan looks even sexier in it…we’ll have to wait and see. At least we’ll get a chance to see this beautiful actress on October 3rd, when her new movie, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People hits the theaters. Check out the trailer, it looks like it’s going to be fun.
Vicky and Cristina, these two young Americans spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist and his beautiful but insane ex-wife. Vicky is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, both comedic and harrowing results ensue.
I’m not really a fan of Woody Allen, and I dislike Penelope Cruz quite a bit. BUT, I have to say this movie looks like it’s going to be good. And I can’t forget the fact that there’s at least one kissing scene between Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, which I can’t deny, sounds awesome.
He’s not a legend. Talking about that, I never got to see “I am Legend“. It looked like a very cool movie, though what turned me off was the fact that everybody said the ending was awful. And, talking about movies I haven’t seen, is Step Up 2 The Streets any good?
Going back to the topic, Will Smith: it looks like Hancock is going to be a cool movie.
“There are Heroes, There are Superheroes and then there’s…”
Gremlins was awesome, original, funny, scary. I wish Hollywood makes Gremlins 3 (I’ve read about it in some sites, but it looks like it’s nothing but rumors), though to tell you the truth, I don’t think Gremlins 2 was nearly as good as the original movie.
I remember that when I was a kid, all I wanted was a Mogwai as cute as Gizmo, even if it could turn into an ugly mess. But I loved that cute monster.
I also used to think that the girl in that movie was the most beautiful girl in the whole world. I was young an innocent, and it wasn’t until years later that I found out that same girl, Phoebe Cates, had done a couple of movies (Paradise and Fast Times at Ridgemont High) where she showed all of her features. She’s 43 now, but she still looks great.

I was looking for the famous pool scene from Fast Times, but I had no luck. Well, aslmost no luck. I did find this video, which is great anyway.
This is not a new movie, but still I wanted to talk a little bit about it. Perfume: The story of a murderer is one of my favorite movies of all time. The story is captivating, the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, and the soundtrack is beautiful.
The story revolves around Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose incomparable sense of smell and inexplicable lack of a personal scent isolates him from society. Obsessed with the rich sensory world he alone inhabits, his single objective in life becomes the preservation of the perfect scent: the skin of young, beautiful women.
The movie is a piece of art, and although it doesn’t deviate that much from the book, as usual, the book is way better. Perfume, by Patrick Suskind is definitely a book you must read. As with the movie, that book is definitely one of my favorites of all time.
By the way, the actresses are gorgeous. Rachel Hurd-Wood is such a beautiful girl, it’s almost unbelievable. And it’s no wonder that Karoline Herfurth (the plum girl) is the representation of the perfect beauty that can make a man lose his mind.
A story where the sense of smell is one of the main characters is very difficult to translate from the pages of a book to the big screen, but the director succeeded in this transition. According to the wikipedia, Stanley Kubrick once said that the book was unfilmable.
Ridley Scott, Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese either considered making the movie or were involved with the project at one time, but luckily none of them got to make it. They are great directors, true, but I think the one director that finally made this project a reality, Tom Tykwer (also known for directing Lola rennt) was just perfect for it.
The soundtrack is so beautiful, each song in the movie transports you to another world. Again, it’s one of those albums you should own.
Check out one of the awesome scenes of the movie (where Jean-Baptiste Grenouille meets his first victim).
Going a bit off topic, but still related. Listen to the melody (the name of the song is The Girl with the Plums). Besides the fact that it’s gorgeous, pay special attention to it in the video at 1:11 and forward. Now listen to Evanescence’s cloud nine. I wonder if they got too inspired by the movie, because the similarity can’t be discussed, can it?
The CG Challenges are the largest online art contests of their kind, with huge amounts of sponsorship and publicity for each challenge. Working within guidelines and software limitations, artists are challenged to create outstanding artworks based upon set themes while showing their work-in-progress to the community.

This time, the challenge was to create material for the promotion of a (potential) blockbuster film based on EON, a novel by the world famous writer Greg Bear.
The work of the contestants is absolutely impressive. I just saw the winning trailer, and believe me, I’d love to see this turned into a full movie. The trailer is amazing
