American Hustle - Jennifer Lawrence steals the show!

I went to see American Hustle with my friend and I have to say, it was not what I expected. It had a very retro-indie feel to it, there were a lot of moments that seemed to fall a bit flat, but, the acting was second to none!

Christian Bale with a horrible comb-over, Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams and her almost breasts (not joking, she puts new meaning to the word "v-neck line"), Bradley Cooper with curls and a hilarious character, but honestly, the star of the entire film was Jennifer Lawrence. I don't just say that as one of her biggest fans, I say that in a legit way! Her character was hilarious and she pulled it off perfectly!

If you haven't seen the film, I suggest you do... it's not a must-see in theatre film, but it is a must-see soon film! Jennifer is amazing!

Jennifer Lawrence looks great at SAG Awards

SAG Awards

I really enjoyed the SAG Awards tonight. I liked the pro-union messages, the charitable work showcased and all the pretty people!

I was super impressed with Jennifer Lawrence's win and Anne Hathaway and Claire Danes....

Downton Abbby cast looked so shocked "Shut the french windows" ha ha

Argo win was good, Ben Affleck is amazing though I still have not seen the movie yet... I have heard great things! I also loved Ben's speech - I have loved his wife, Jennifer Garner since Alias.... which Bradley Cooper was also in by the way (his movie was nominated too and I was rooting for it, Silver linings playbook, for my own bias reasons....

I love jessica chastain, so it was nice to see her present and look back at those we lost this year.

I loved the intros "I am an actor" especially Sophia V from Modern Family... "thanks to these I always look like a hooker" ha ha

What were your fave moments from the SAG awards?

Valentine's Day Review - No Spoilers

I went to see Valentine's Day Tonight and here is my SPOILER FREE Review.

With so many top names such as Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace, Kathy Bates, George Lopez, Eric Dane, Queen Latifa, Shirley MacLaine and Hector Elizondo, there is no doubt the movie has talented actors, so let's look at the story itself.

The movie is about several characters lives one Valentine's Day. It can [and will] be comapred to Love Actually in that it has multiple stories that bubble over into each other.

There is a bit of everything within the characters, from a florist who is newly engaged, to a pessimistic single football player's publicist, to a teen couple preparing for their "first time," to a teacher in a new relationship, to a seemingly happily married couple of grandparents.... the movie follows various stories that often criss-cross and overlap, though not obviously or annoyingly so.

At first, I thought the movie started off a little slow and was honestly expecting to be disappointed. Luckily that changed.

The stories and the characters were not difficult to connect to and with so many different relationships, there was something for everyone to relate too. One of the cutest stories was puppy love from a 5th grader played by Bryce Robinson, who is a fantastic young actor. His entire story melted my heart.

There were corny moments or over done parts, but as a whole it worked well.

With so many big names, there was a lot to live up to and I thought the movie did a good job of giving each actor a good story for their character and where the characters lives crossed and intertwined was amusing and sometimes shocking but not overly forced.

There were definately some laughs, some tears and some gasps of surprise and excitement.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and think it will be a great V-Day hit.

Valentine's Day Sequel?

Zap2it posts:

New Line Studio has greenlit "New Year's Eve", a spinoff -- of sorts -- of "Valentine's Day," that will also be directed by Garry Marshall. And The Dish Rag got the inside story from VD screenwriter Katherine Fugat at the film's LA premiere about her upcoming script and the casting.

The VD sequel will be set in New York on New Year's Eve, right in the middle of Times Square and the iconic ball drop will no doubt be the finale. Filming starts in November and Fugat says some of the actors from VD will appear in it, but they will play different characters. As in new characters.

That should be nice and confusing. Who would you like to see come back: Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Eric Dane, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel? Definitely let's have more Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, even though we know they're both very busy with other projects. But please, no more Ashton Kutcher.

But here's the real scoop. According to VD star Hector Elizondo, there's more than one holiday rom-com sequel coming. He says there were will be several. We smell a franchise!

What's next? Mother's Day? St. Patrick's Day? Christmas? Labor Day? Veteran's Day? Hanakkuh? That might be a very long movie

Valentines Day Premiere Tonight

The Valentine’s Day premiere is tonight at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre 6925 Hollywood Blvd, in Hollywood! Anyone going to check it out? I will be attending the screening Wednesday and will blog a spoiler and non-spoiler post (like I did with Dear John Spoiler and Dear John non-spoiler)

Who is Sexiest Man Alive in People?

Gossip Cop says it's a fake - - -

A purported People cover making its way around the interwebs today is sure to grab some eyes: it shows “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson as the magazine’s pick for “Sexiest Man Alive.”



While Pattinson may very well be crowned 2009’s Sexiest… he hasn’t yet (officially), and what’s pictured definitely won’t be the cover.



People magazine’s managing editor Larry Hackett told Gossip Cop the cover is a fake, calling the interest a “testament to the success” of the “Sexiest Man Alive” franchise.



The actual announcement will be made tomorrow morning on “Today.”



So who will it be?



When Gossip Cop floated the names Bradley Cooper and Pattinson as who we considered leading contenders, Hackett would only say he was sporting a big smile. Hmm. Sounds like we may have been on the right track?

A-Team Filming in Vancouver

A-team is filming in Vancouver.

They are preparing to film people going up or down the side of a tall building and in preparation for that were hooking up pulley's and testing them with sand bags outside my friends office windows.

We all agree seeing Bradley Cooper whiz down a wire outside your office window would be rad.... sadly, stunt men, not Bradley Cooper or main cast, will be the ones gliding several stories up and down the sky scrapers.

It's so cool to have A-Team filming here. I loved A-Team as a kid.

Last month I saw them filming at what seems to be an "army base" though I obviously can't be certain. It was awesome to see the tanks and tents and equipment. Apparently a lot of pyro was planned at this site.

Awesome huh?

Also a couple weekends ago they were down town filming. I was lucky enough to be stuck in traffic but as I approached could see the blue flashing lights of "cop cars" and people running as a "machine gun" shot off (we could hear the sounds)

A friend who was closer actually got video of it all - I will ask her to email it for me to post if you are interested?

The new version of A-Team Stars:

Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck

Liam Neeson as Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith

Jessica Biel as Amy Allen

Sharlto Copley as Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson as Sgt. Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus

My husband would LOVE to meet Rampage Jackson as he's a massive UFC fan... myself, strictly interested in Bradley Cooper... though Jessica Biel would be fun and Liam Neeson... well - - obviously a welcomed sighting ;)

They are scheduled to be here til mid-December filming.
