Eat. Pray. Love. Movie Trailer

When I read the book, Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert, I imagined it just the way it was filmed. The streets of NYC, the failed marriage, a misunderstood relationship, Italy, India and then finally Bali! Julia Roberts is the best actress to portray that emotional journey, and be believable in moments of joy, love and vulnerability.

The Crow Resurrected

My boyfriend will be beyond thrilled, as the Crow is ultimately his favorite movie!!! So much so, it's tattooed on his shoulder! The original Crow grossed more than $100 million and became legendary by the unfortunate death of Brandon Lee. Now, Blade's director, Stephen Norrington, wants a piece of that golden ticket, to remake the original, not add to the series of unsuccessful sequels. Just as Stephen's original Blade was fantastic, the ones that followed lacked it's luster. The question in this whole endeavor is what actor, if any, would possibly come close to filling Brandon Lee's shoes?

The original '94 version was dramatically gothic and stylized, Norrington says, "The new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."

Sex in the City DVD Launch

"Changeling" with Jolie and Malkovich

"Changeling" is a Clint Eastwood-directed film, based on a 1920s thriller about Christine Collins, played by Angelina Jolie, whose 9-year-old son is kidnapped.

Synopsis: When police return the boy to her, Christine claims he is not her son. She is then deemed an unfit mother when she confronts city authorities and corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department in order to find out the truth.

Jolie may earn yet another Oscar nomination, as the movie debuted to critical acclaim at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Jolie based the character after her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in 2007.

“My mother was very passive in many ways and very, very sweet, but when it came to her children, she was a lion,” Jolie has said. “So in many ways, Christine reminded me of my mom, and it was a way to kind of revisit my mother after her passing and spend time with her.”

Changeling opens in limited release on October 24.

Robert Downey Jr. doesn't get Dark Knight

Robert Downey Jr. discusses how he just doesn't get The Dark Knight because he doesn’t have a college education:

“I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get many things that are so smart. “(The Dark Knight) is like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and scriptwriting and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ “I didn’t understand The Dark Knight… I still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and, in the end, they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it - this is so high brow and so f**king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’”

Dane's Self Promotion

I just love Dane Cook, how can you not!!!! So I just love hearing his rants, because it's just like free comedy sketches!!! He wants everyone to know that he absolutely hates the promotional poster for his upcoming movie, "My Best Friends Girl". As it's a very bland and boring poster, I have to say him letting the world know it is actually quite brilliant. This way everyone will know he's got a movie out and what it's about, which the poster clearly lacks.

"Dear Diary

Before the downpour let me just say that my new movie, "My Best Friends Girl," is the best / funniest film I've done yet. It's got a terrific cast. Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Jason Biggs, and myself really kicked the funny around. This movie showcases our talents accordingly as it expands on them. It's a fun R-rated flick. An edgy comedy with a dash of romance.

That being said, let me address the fact that although I'm not a marketing major, I have a bit of a trusted reputation after 18 years self promoting. I'd like to inform you I had no say in this marketing campaign, but if I did, things would be different since it is obvious that this poster is boring / odd and has zero to do with the movie I performed in.

Here are a few things that truly blow about my upcoming movie poster to promote the release of the film opening on September 19th:

1. Graphics:
Whoever photoshopped our poster must have done so at taser point with 3 minutes to fulfill their hostage takers deranged obligations. They should have called Donnie Hoyle and had him give a tutorial using "You Suck at Photoshop" templates. This is so glossy it makes Entertainment Weekly look wooden.

2. My head:
The left side of my face seems to be melting off of my skull. I guess I am looking directly into the Ark of the Covenant? Are they going for the bells palsy thing here? My left side looks like Brittany Spears' vagina.

3. The Stare.
My character apparently has fallen in love with a strand of Kate Hudsons hair. Kate's mannequin is desperately in love with the inside of my right ear while Jason is half stunned, half corsage.

4. Lips:
It looks like I'm wearing Maybelline Water Shine Diamonds Liquid Lipstick. My characters name is now Winter Solstice and I'm a hooker with a heart of gold. Jason is my floral carrying pimp, while Kate is my first trick!

5. Fashion:
My character is sporting a very high collar I mean damn they should be snow capped at that altitude. It's going for the vampire lurking in the castle basement vibe. An Olympic pole vaulter would have a tough go clearing that collar. I'm also able to turn my head comfortably 180 degrees, because I was raised in an abandoned barn by a family of owls.

6. Flesh:
It's no secret that I'm more rugged facially due to a drunken visit by the teen acne fairy, but according to this poster I've got perfect porcelain flesh. I look like the fuckin' bathroom floor at Caesars Palace. One of Marie Osmond's dolls would look at me and say "shit … that guys got flawless skin!"

7. Hair:
It's actually a close up shot of Tom Sellecks Magnum P.I. mustache they photo-slapped on my noggin'.

8. The set:
Pick one. This entire film takes place:

A. on Gattaca
B. at the Fortress of Solitude
C. inside a crystal wind chime

9. The cast:
Alec Baldwin is so fucking funny in this movie! Is he on the poster? I think so. He plays the wise talking plant Jason is clutching.

10. Final thoughts:
I set out to make a movie like the contemporary men and women, that you and I respect, are making. My generation of comedians, actors, directors and producers that I wish to collaborate with as I build a solid body of work.

Granted, one poster stinking up the joint isn't the end of the world. Yet it sends the wrong message about our movie and I just wanted you to know, that I feel the pain. I really love the film and I know from past missteps marketing wise that the wrong poster sends the wrong audience into the theater.

Thanks again for all of your support. If you have not seen the red band trailer (which is excellent and represents the flick accordingly) click on the link at the top of this page.

PS - "Its funny what love can make you do." I just threw up all over this awful poster.
Wow, wait … it looks better.

Hey … I love my new movie. Jeez … it IS funny what love can make you do."

NEWS.i.e. Leonardo DiCaprio to play Lenin

Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to be in negotiations to play Vladimir Lenin in the biopic Lenin’s Brain, according to British newspaper The Sun.

The movie will be directed by a Russian director, Alexander Borodyansky, who believes the actor has a striking physical resemblance to the communist leader when he was young.

“I’d say that Leo can impersonate the revolutionary leader even without make-up”

This isn't the first time Leo was asked to play a legendary figure. In 2004 he played Howard Hughes in the Aviator and Romeo of Romeo + Juliet in 1996. In 2010, he is set to play Teddy Roosevelt in The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt.

Exceeding Expectations

It is the first movie in history to cross the $200 Million mark in 5 days.

Mostly due to the inflated ticket prices, but Heath's phantom spirit lives in the movie and everyone is dying to see just what drove the actor to his deathbed.
