London and Rome Host Film Stars Including Honest George
Several actors walked the red carpet this weekend at the London Film Festival and Rome Film Festival. Nicholas Hoult, Tom Ford, Colin Firth and Matthew Goode looked handsome in their suits at the premiere for A Single Man in London, and the capital also saw the premiere of Viggo Mortensen's The Road. Helen Mirren was in Rome for the The Last Station, and Terry Gilliam and Lily Cole were also in Italy for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus premiere.
George Clooney Brings Jokes to a Fantastic LFF Opening
George Clooney changed out of his casual clothes into black tie for The Fantastic Mr Fox premiere at the opening of the London Film Festival in Leicester Square last night. He was joined by Elisabetta Canali, who wore a black outfit like Cindy Crawford and Myleene Klass, while Sophie Dahl matched her dress to the red carpet. Sophie's step-grandmother Felicity was also at the premiere, and said the author of the original book Roald Dahl would have loved it.
George Clooney Is Eyeing His Buddy Brad Pitt's Many Kids
George Clooney brought Elisabetta out for the premiere of The Fantastic Mr. Fox at the opening gala of the BFI Film Festival in London today. The two were joined by good friend Cindy Crawford as well as George's costar Jason Schwartzman. At this morning's press conference, George joked about playing the father fox on-screen, even saying he's looking to have some kids of his own.
Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island
Within about 20 seconds of watching this trailer for Shutter Island, I had chills. By the time it was drawing to a scary, climactic close (and this is just the trailer, mind you) I was fully spooked. More than most frightening things, the idea of being trapped in an asylum (or a prison) as a presumably sane (or innocent) person disturbs me right to the bone.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.
Elegy
Here's a movie with two well-respected actors in the lead roles that got very little attention when it came out (I wrote about it awhile back as part of my Ben Kingsley slideshow but barely heard anything about it after that).
Keira Shares the Spotlight With Rupert
Keira Knightley looked lovely in her white dress with black accessories at the Young Victoria afterparty in London last night. Keira was at the premiere to support her boyfriend Rupert Friend, who had his costar Emily Blunt on his arm on the red carpet. Keira has a few of her own new movies to look forward to — she'll be playing a cloned girl in Never Let Me Go after costarring with Colin Farrell in London Boulevard.
The Men Are Suited And Booted On the Oscars Red Carpet
There were dashing men a-plenty on the Oscars red carpet yesterday, but just because they were all wearing suits doesn't mean there wasn't a little variation. The typical tuxedo and bow tie worked its magic on a bevy of handsome stars, including Zac Efron, Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson, Dominic Cooper, Daniel Craig, Dev Patel and Seth Rogen. Meanwhile Best Actor winner Sean Penn went for all black, Phillip Seymour Hoffman did the same, while Mickey Rourke went for a cream suit, black waistcoat and accessorised with a necklace carrying the image of his recently deceased dog.
Couples Galore Join Elton on Oscars Night
Lots of stars from our side of the pond joined their fellow British celebrity Elton John for his 17th Annual AIDS Foundation Oscars Party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood last night. It was certainly an evening for couples, with Jordan and Peter Andre rubbing shoulders with Gordon and Tana Ramsay, who are putting their recent troubles behind them. American and British unions were also represented by Claire Danes and her fiance Hugh Dancy plus Mamma Mia costars and couple Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper.
Stars Shine at South Bank Show Awards
Dozens of stars turned out for the South Bank Show Awards at London's Dorchester Hotel yesterday. Sophie-Ellis Bextor covered her baby bump with a pretty dress, and Emilia Fox also went floral as she made her first public appearance since announcing her divorce last week. Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Phillips and John Sergeant put the past behind them and smiled together, and runner-up Rachel Stevens grinned wide even though it looks like Michelle Ryan will be the new Doctor Who assistant: previous assistant Freema Agyeman was also at the ceremony.
Sienna and Keira Cuddle Up at Independent Film Awards
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller stayed close at the British Independent Film Awards at London's Old Billingsgate Market yesterday. Having been spotted with Balthazar Getty in London last week, Sienna looked happy to enjoy a girls' night with her The Edge of Love costar. Reports suggest she's agreed to give Balthazar a second chance if he woos her the old-fashioned way with romantic dinner dates and flowers.
