Nine Again

Part Two:

Nine

Go see "Nine" on the big screen.

The Talent In The Room

Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter & Tim Burton - Tribute to Tim Burton held at The Museum of Modern Art New York City, November 17th 2009

"Or as I like to call them, Tim Burton with his husband & wife."
- An anonymous snarky observer of the Hollywood scene

Amy Adams - Femme Fatale

So if Hollywood really had the appetite for it, there are still movie stars who could be Movie Stars:

Nine

I will not miss this one on the big screen.

Elizabeth Taylor - The Last Hollywood Star

Elizabeth Taylor, 77, made a rare public appearance at Michael Jackson's burial yesterday.



Seeing her for the first time in a long time reminded me that she is really the last of the classic Hollywood stars.

Meryl Streep And Amy Adams

"The film is food porn."

I know some people who can't wait to see "Julie and Julia," which opens this Friday, so here's a little background on the film's genesis, and on Nora Ephron, the Screenwriter and Director.

RIP, Golden Girl

Farrah Fawcett died today, from cancer.

She was 62.

I bought the poster, too.

Amy Adams Ever Ever After

It's really wonderful to read that with her Academy Award nomination, Amy Adams has joined the top tier of American actresses, "after a decade of odd jobs, Midwestern dinner theater and dead-end roles...a period of my life where I had to work several jobs to pay my bills. Something would go wrong and you'd have to take another job to get your car running. That was very real for me."

We first became aware of her in in "Enchanted," and loved her presence and charm as she channeled the magic of Disney Princesses, in the context of present-day Manhattan.

Have a look:

Paul Newman
