I’ve been hanging around Apple’s Trailer page. I can’t believe they have one for Vitus - a Swiss film! I thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s funny & made on a high quality level. It’s interesting how the trailer’s made similar to the La Vie en Rose one - focusing on the music and clapping at the end.
Other trailers I enjoyed (the trailers may in some cases probably be better than the movie): Gracie, A Mighty Heart, License to Wed, Georgia Rule, Penelope
Yay! Absolutely Sophia Myles is the first result Google displays when searching for Sophia Myles. Even before IMDB!!! I’ve always been in the first few spots but this is simply amazing. And to think I never ever payed money to have my site submitted to search engines. Those that offer these services are simply ripping off money of ignorant people! Correct me if I’m wrong…
I think it is safe to claim I have always had a balanced view of Leonardo DiCaprio. Neither have I ever been one of the crazy fans (Back when I was at school almost all the other girls used to have pictures of him absolutely everywhere from school exercice books etc to bedroom walls) nor have I dismissed him as just another teen idol and thus bad actor. I’ve always loved Titanic (I’m hopelessly romantic sometimes) and admired him in Marvin’s Room and Romeo & Juliet. I disliked him during the Gangs of New York phase - I got the feeling he overdid it with proving he’s more than just a pretty face.
Now, I’ve seen Blood Diamond: and I think this has turned me into an avid admirer of his talent. But still, he needs the right project & script to work with. Though yet again playing an ‘against-type’ role, Danny Archer’s character is really well-developed on paper, and I think it is that which allows him to really shine in Blood Diamond. Although the movie is violent I couldn’t help but love it - because it is trying to show a situation that happened somewhere along those lines some years ago and is happening all over again today in places all over the world - in variations. To combine such a realistic portrayal with a political message (don’t buy conflict diamonds) and present it as an entertaining movie is quite an achievement! And it couldn’t have been made without Djimoun Hounsou’s and Jennifer Connelly’s excellent performances - or without the supporting cast.
I think I will dig up some older Leo movies and watch them. He really does bring something special to a movie, and he has that movie star ability to draw you in.
I read the Lindsay Lohan interview in May’s Allure magazine when I was at the newsstand today. My goodness, is this girl troubled. I mean nothing she says in the article makes sense. And what did she say, “my friends are lost without me, they need me to help them”? What?!
I’m back and have the best intentions - esp. when it comes to the amount of time I spend online…. Well, I had to code all the pages for the Sophia Myles website today (now it is already a new day…) and I am so pleased with the result! Have a look here. But of course it would look no where near as fantastic were it not for Mycah’s design! Isn’t she the greatest?
