I've said it before and I'll say it again

NEVER HAVING AN AFFAIR



Second time around and Glenn Close still scares the hell out of me!

HEYA!



Henry Hopper is gonna blow up, I'm calling it now! He's in Gus Van Sant's new movie Restless with Mia Wasikowska and I'm not going to lie....it looks amazing!

Back



Every single time I watch Volver I want to:
Move to Spain
Speak fluent Spanish
Marry Penelope Cruz




As a whole movie its brilliant, punchy script, vivid colours, solid performances, a well thought out story, and Penelope Cruz.



She actually gets more and more beautiful as the movie goes on.



Javier Bardem is one lucky Hombre!

Not like ever would



But I just finished watching Fatal Attraction and its safe to say I'll never ever cheat while I'm in a relationship. Glenn Close played the pyscho stalker bitch far too well for my liking.

And the Oscar goes to

Tonight's the night. All that promoting, all those premieres, all those great performances during the past year, all those fittings, all those speeches, come down to this. The 82nd Academy Awards are on tonight and to say the competition is fierce is an understatement. There so many long over due nominations, some new faces, some sad, some funny, some absolutely faultless and the mother of all battles between the exes- Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron. I've vested interest in tonight's results but I also want to see how many can I get right.
