PopUK's New Release Roundup!
It's time to let you know all the new releases that I recommend this week! First up I have a couple of DVDs for you — Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla came out yesterday and I very much enjoyed this fun-filled crime caper. It has some amusing performances in it, especially from Gerard Butler and face to watch Tom Hardy.
Meryl and Amy Have No Doubt About Their Movie's Success
Meryl Streep and Amy Adams posed at a photo call for Doubt in London yesterday. The movie has been garnering a lot of praise recently, with Meryl, Amy and Philip Seymour Hoffman all up for BAFTA awards. It didn't win in any of the five categories it was up for at the Golden Globes but Meryl did tie with Anne Hathaway for Best Actress at the Critics' Choice Awards.
Doubt: All About Meryl and Philip
Doubt is a tense, thought-provoking and incredibly well-written play, and it must be difficult to adapt such a dense play for the big screen. With a play there's the understanding that we're somewhat confined in terms of location and there's often a lot of talking and emoting. The film adaptation of Doubt is pretty much entirely talking and emoting.
Box Office: The Day the Earth Earned a Lot of Money
The Day the Earth Stood Still may not have been a critical hit but it is now officially a box office success, earning $31 million over the weekend and topping Four Christmases, which slid into second place. Twilight, Bolt, and Australia followed in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.
Meanwhile, Variety is reporting that smaller, independent films "delivered one of the best weekends ever for the specialty box office."
Sugar Bits — Kate Winslet Nominated For Two Golden Globes!
- Homegrown talent Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes have both earned two nominations each for Golden Globes. The ceremony takes place on January 11, and Brits Dame Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Kate's husband Sam Mendes, Stephen Daldry and Danny Boyle are also nominated. Meryl Streep has two nominations in the Best Actress category for Doubt and Mamma Mia, and the late Heath Ledger is also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight.
Doubt: See it or Skip it?
Meryl Streep is one seriously versatile actress, and her latest role in Doubt is a far cry from her rendition of the all-singing all-dancing single mum in Mamma Mia.
Set in 1964 in the Bronx, the film is based on John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Meryl plays Sister Aloysius, the Principal of a Catholic school who believes in the power of fear and discipline.
Movie Preview: Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt
Um, we're not in Mamma Mia! anymore. The trailer for the Pulitzer Prize-winning-play-turned-movie, Doubt, has hit the Web and it's dark — and bubbling with Oscar potential.
You Asked: How Can I Know if He's Cheating?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and two months. He's a wonderful man, but I've been noticing some strange things that lead me to believe that he might be cheating on me. For example, he doesn't want me to see his phone, and before he used to have a picture of me on his phone wallpaper, but suddenly he has a picture of himself instead.
