'Nine':B+

Screw the critics. I thought 'NINE' could not be made. The fact is the Broadway show was not made.
Rob Marshall used the musical as a starting point to make something more cinematic. He got it!
Truth be told Ii enjoyed it more than 'Chicago' that was poorly cast.

'NINE' has near perfect casting.
Day-Louis, Dench, Fergie,Cruz and surprisingly, for me, Nicole all shined.
The exception being Kate Hudson. What the hell was she doing in this ensemble?

The true gift was the performance of Marion Cotillard as Luisa. Needing to be sad or angry or sweet she had it all and gave it her all. She's extraordinary she is as she goes from jubilation to desperation without missing a beat. I'm falling in love with this woman...this damn good actress. It's not by accident that Marshall had Marion wear a little black dress, Audrey Hepburn style, and then basically recreated Audrey's 'Roman Holiday' screen test for Marion's character. Inspired!

Happy Birthday Diane Lane

The Worst in Film 2000-2009

The worst are those that aspire to and pretend to be the best. the decade had a lot of bad films and a lot of good and great films. The following are the good, the bad and the downright ugly films 2000-2009.


The #1 spot goes to 'Rachel Getting Married' and most everything else where Anne Hathaway's name appeared above the title*



and the other 9 in no particular order are:

All the King's Men-Kate and Sean's HUGE mistake.
Australia-could possibly sink the entire continent.
Gladiator-it's the 21st century for god's sake.
No Country for Old Men-no film for sane men and women young or old.
Passion of the Christ- mel gibson's bloody violent and anti-semetic rant. oy vay!
Sideways-sideways, upside down or right side up a mess,a bore about male menopause
The Departed-retreading scorcese and big bad boston irish cops yet again.yawn!
The Edge of Love-Keira's mistake
The Ugly Truth-the truth is in the title: uglyuglyugly



Worst performance by actor, actress, canine, feline or what have you goes to you guessed it:



*(the exception being 'The Devil Wears Prada' because Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt dwarfed her at best mediocre performance)

'A Single Man': Rates an 'A'

An amazing directorial debut by Tom Ford. An amazing supporting performance by Julianne Moore whose work I have never admired in the past. Matthew Goode and Nicholaus Hoult are terrific in supporting roles also.

BUT it is the brilliant portrayal of this newly single man by Colin Firth that makes this an exceptional film. He has always charmed me but now in this meaty, gusty, heart wrenching role he gets to show everyone what i personally always knew was there.

His is the actor role of the 2009 as far as I'm concerned. He now moves into the 'legend' category of film actors.

'A Single Man' claims it's spot as one of the Best Films of the decade.

'One Life to Live' airs daytime TV's first gay sex scene

Just weeks after canceling Adam Lambert's daytime performances, ABC made history on Wednesday by airing the first-ever gay sex scene on daytime television.

'One Life to Live''s Oliver and Kyle (Scott Evans and Brett Claywell) finally had their onscreen love scene, followed by a tender loving moment. Evans, who is the younger brother of 'Fantastic Four' actor Chris Evans, is openly gay.


'One Life to Live' has historically been a first when it comes to social issues.

Congratulations to the producers and ABC for stepping up again in daytime.

Passed in 2009: R.I.P.
