good evening! i finally got around to watching the trailer for sexy fashion maven tom ford's directorial debut a single man which garnered rave reviews at the venice film festival back in september - it stars colin firth alongside one of my favorite actresses julianne moore (her performances in both boogie nights and magnolia are incredible) this films looks amazing (based on the 1964 novel by christopher isherwood) i must go see it when it opens in december! i hope everyone is enjoying friday night - i'm definitely sleeping late tomorrow and sunday! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor [Colin Firth] who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim [Matthew Goode]. George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley [Julianne Moore], a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George's, Kenny [Nicholas Hoult], who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit. A Single Man is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
good evening! of course i'm thrilled it's friday evening (although i was at the dentist earlier and came home in a lot of pain - thankfully a couple of aleve worked wonders!) plus the weather was amazing today here in los angeles - we went from cold and rainy to sunny and in the 80s - you can't beat southern california's climate! i'll try to send some of the warmth back east ... i hear it's terribly cold over in NYC right now! anyways - you must watch the newly released trailer for the imaginarium of dr. parnassus - starring the late heath ledger (sadly his last film), johnny depp, jude law, and christopher plummer - and is directed by the incredibly talented and super quirky terry gilliam! it's releasing here on december 25th (aka xmas) i'm so going to see this movie ... it looks beyond brilliant and magical! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
good evening! oh i'm totally over today - and tomorrow i plan on sleeping extra late - i can't wait! right now i've got the brand new 2nd trailer for the upcoming movie shutter island (based on the 2003 novel by dennis lehane) starring leonardo dicaprio and is directed by one of my favorite directors martin scorsese (this marks the 4th film the two have worked on together!) unfortunately we'll have to wait until february 9th for this to hit theaters! it looks amazing & spooky - definitely watch the trailer below! i hope everyone is having a fantastic friday night! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
good morning! i must admit that i am a fan of the whole saw series - even though the movies are always overly gruesome - i do love all the tricks & good times creep master jigsaw puts his victims through! on oct. 23rd - the sixth installment SAW VI hits theaters! below you'll find the teaser trailer - along with a brand new poster revealed over on shocktillyoudrop.com today - i wonder how long they'll manage to keep this franchise alive? i suppose if they keep making money - we'll have plenty of scary and horrific cat and mouse games to look forward to! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening boys & girls! ever since seeing julie and julia this past weekend - i've totally been on a big meryl streep kick (she's totally a bottle of fine wine - girlfriend just keeps getting better with age) and just today i saw the brand new trailer for her upcoming flick it's complicated (written and directed by nancy meyers) she stars alongside alec baldwin (who i adore ... you must watch30 rock if you're not already) and steve martin (who is incredible - he has been in so many amazing movies - i seriously wish he worked more often these days) now this type of movie (ugh - romantic comedy) isn't really my thing at all but it actually looks really decent and the cast is simply stellar (plus it's nice change of pace to see older actors doing a fun movie like this) i might have to see this when it hits theatres on christmas day - december 25th! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning everyone! this week the first trailer was released for the upcoming film the lovely bones which opens this coming december - it's based on the NY times best-selling novel by alice sebold (and also happened to be an oprah winfrey book club selection) and tells the tale of a 14-year-old girl (played by atonement oscar nominee saoirse ronan) trying to solve her own murder! the film is directed by the incredible peter jackson (probably best known for the lord of rings trilogy) and stars mark wahlberg, rachel weisz, susan sarandon, and stanley tucci ... you must watch the trailer below - the film looks amazing (perhaps even worthy of oscar nominations) i'm thinking i should perhaps read the book - i never seem to have time to read but i should probably put a few minutes aside each day to read this one! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo (HAPPY FRIDAY!)
good morning! last night here in hollywood - actresses amy adams and meryl streep hit the red carpet for the premiere of their upcoming flick julie & julia which opens next friday (august 7th) i thought both ladies were excellent in the flick doubt (amy & meryl both received oscar nominations) it will be great to see 'em team up on the silver screen again (this time in something a bit less serious) i've been dying to see julie & julia ever since i first saw the trailer (which you can watch below) i'm sure ms. streep nailed her portrayal of infamous chef julia child - possibly scoring meryl yet another oscar nomination - and although ms. adams is fairly new to the scene - i do think she's great and definitely has a lengthy career ahead of her! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! i'm so damn bored with all the lame gossip going on - there's really nothing scandalous peaking my interest at all! does anybody else feel the same way? earlier today rumors were swirling again about brad pitt and angelina jolie splitting up - but a rep for the couple was quick to shoot down the lies (originating from national enquirer) so all were left with is jon & kate gosselin (which i've already proclaimed as super boring plus i can't stand kate - her and that haircut need to go) and leanne rimes who is being painted as a stalker (by hottie eddie cibrian's wife brandi glanville) that's about as exciting as it gets right now! a lady stalker situation could be interesting - but does anybody really give a crap about ms. rimes? ugh! anyways i came across the newly released trailer for bruce willis' new movie surrogates which opens on september 25th (also starring radha mitchell) it looks totally awesome - a tale set in the future where everyone lives through a surrogate robot - but things start to go awry when two surrogates are murdered causing their real-life counterparts to die as well! the film is based upon the five-part comic book series the surrogates written by robert vendetti (with illustrations by brett weldele) watch the trailer below - and keep your fingers crossed for something juicy to happen soon - ever since britney spears started behaving herself - celebrity gossip just hasn't been quite the same! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
oh my word! i'm so completely drained and tired - between disneylandyesterday and the 2009 MTV movie awards today - i'm seriously ready to collapse - i'm thrilled i have the day off again tomorrow! i did have a lot of fun earlier today at the awards - of course twilight was the big winner - and during the show the brand new trailer for new moon premiered ... i can't believe i still haven't seen twilight yet - i guess need to get on that boat soon - people were going completely nuts when anything about the movie or cast was mentioned! (maybe i should read the stephanie meyer penned books first? that's a huge undertaking - unfortunately i have zero time to read) i will say the trailer is awesome (watch it below) especially the part when mega-cutie taylor lautner is shown all sweaty & shirtless - he's got an incredible body! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
