'Little White Lies' Finally Gets USA Release
already a hit in europe 'little white lies' will arrive in the states later this summer. two oscar winners, marion cotillard ('la vie en rose") and jean dujuardin ('the artist") lead the cast in this 'the big chill' style dramedy.
directed by guillasume canet who gave us the remarkable 2006's 'tell no one' gives it even greater promise. if you have not seen 'tell no one' rent it. it's one of the best.
so between this and 'rust and bone' and 'the dark night rises' it's a great year for fans of ms cotillard. meaning me!

New 'The Bourne Legacy' Featurette Explains The Film's Ties To The Jason Bourne Saga
jeremy renner is not playing jason bourne. he plays another agent in another cia like black-ops program and takes place at the same time as 'the bourne ultimatum'. the new featurette hopes to explain it all to us prior to it's august 10th unveiling in theaters. have a go at it.
i've been a fan of the 'bourne' films from the start. i hate the thought of one without matt damon but i will be there. rachel weisz is in it. so is edward norton. so sure i'll give it an open minded go. jeremy renner has yet to get to me. he almost did in 'the town' but fell somewhat short. we'll see.
the featurette
convinced?
'Life of Pi' Preview
new film by director ang lee (brokeback mountain') opens this fall. the preview looks damn good. the film is in 3d. we'll see. i personally thought 'brokeback' went on a bit long. it's way to many pastoral shots killed it for me. i was one of a handful of gay men who went for 'crash' as best picture that year. the hate mailers filled my inbox. i did not and will not take it back.

'Cosmopolis' with Robert Pattinson, Trailer
'cosmopolis' opens stateside on august 17th. most of europe has already seen it or could have. word is robert pattinson is great. the film itself is so-so.
but i am a fan of mr. pattinson so i'll push it. i still have hope for him beyond the 'twilight' franchise.

Preview: 6 Minute Clip From 'Anna Karenina' Starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law & Aaron Johnson
i am really looking forward to this film. you know well how much i admire keira knightley. jude law almost always impresses. director joe wright seems to want to take us back to the sprawling epics of the past by moving them forward. making the most of production design and greater use of art direction and the sensuality of the actors it appears he will succeed.
the film opens in the uk on sept. 7 and in the usa on nov. 9.
'The Deep Blue Sea' Releases Today on BluRay and DVD
if you want to see the best performance by an actress this year, so far, buy or rent 'the deep blue sea'. rachel weisz is amazing generally but exceeds all expectations here. rent it or buy it but definitely see it.
Josh's Jukebox: 'I'm Not in Love'
i just heard this for the first time in years. i think nathan had just broken up with me. i think i may have deserved it. maybe not. i hated that he did. he was my first true love. you don't forget the first! so here's to you nathan. you are still in my heart. you still shine with the best.
