The 4th movie of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part – 1 is hitting the theaters in November. Since the teaser trailer is on the web, let’s talk about where we left off the characters, what happens in the trailer and how we feel about the series in general.

Eclipse made the rivalry between Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) even clearer. The werewolves and the vampires fought side by side to get rid of Seattle’s evil vampire gang lead by Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard), but this didn’t really make vampire Edward and shapeshifter Jacob bond.

Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward’s relationship saw a hard, yet romantic bargain: Our old-fashioned vampire wanted to get married – and he wouldn’t have sex with Bella until they did. Bella wanted to become a vampire to be able to spend eternity with him, and she wanted him to turn her. Edward’s family also agreed that it was the smarter thing to turn Bella. So Edward accepted to turn her as soon as they were married.

The 4th movie will obviously see Bella’s father Chief Swan (Billy Burke) go mad. He doesn’t know anything about vampires and werewolves, but he just trusts Jacob more. Plus, many sane fathers don’t look forward to their high school graduate daughters getting hitched right away. Obviously Jacob will do everything in its power to stop the wedding. But if the trailer is any indication, the wedding (and the much expected first-time sex) will take place. I haven’t read the 4th book, but from what I know (from the readers and the trailer), Bella will get pregnant against all odds…

You can watch the trailer here.

I really enjoyed the Twilight saga. Well, admittedly I enjoyed Twilight and Eclipse a lot more than New Moon because depression is not my thing. But I enjoy this fantasy world with eternal beauty, health, youth and love. I enjoyed the jealousy between a gorgeous vampire, and a soon to be gorgeous (come on, he is only 19!) werewolf, not to mention a vampire family led by the highly talented (and also pretty) Peter Facinelli.

Yes, the effects with the wolves should have been much better. The stories could have more thrills and surprises. But all in all this is a fun, harmless romance movie for people who like the supernatural stuff, with the emphasis on romance. If you want all action and gore, see Blade. If you want more literature where vampires don’t shine, watch Interview with the Vampire. For pop-corn romance and good alternative rock, Twilight is pretty good.

I’ll see this film in November. How about you?

Golden Globes 2011- The Best of Host Ricky Gervais

The 68^th Golden Globes – Best of Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais at 2011's Golden Globes: He was outrageous, politically incorrect and downright hilarious! image via tvverdict.com

If there is one thing good about not being a Hollywood star, it is that Ricky Gervais won’t get to joke about you at the Golden Globes. The guy is hilarious, but let’s face it, he is not gentle and he is definitely not politically correct. And we love him for it. But I am not sure I’d want to be at the receiving end of his jokes.

Here’re my favorite Ricky Gervais lines from the 68th Golden Globes – the words may not be exact but the punch lines are intact:

on Charlie Sheen:

– It’s gonna be a night of partying and heavy drinking, or as Charlie Sheen calls it: “breakfast”. Wow, so… Let’s get this straight. What he did was he picked up a “porn star”, paid it to have dinner with him, introduced her to his ex-wife: “how do you do?” went to a hotel, got drunk, got naked, trashed the place while she was locked in the cupboard… that was a Monday! What did he do on New Year’s Eve?

on “The Walking Dead” Hugh Hefner and his 24-year-old bride-to-be:

– Talking of the “Walking Dead”, congratulations to Hugh Hefner, who’s getting married at the age of 84 to 24-year-old beauty Crystal Harris. When she was asked why she was marrying him she said: “‘Cause he lied about his age. He told me he was 94.

on Robert Downey Jr.:

– I love this next presenter. He’s so cool. He’s the star of “Iron Man”, “Two Girls and a Guy”, “Wonder Boys”… Sorry, are these porn films? “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, “Bowfinger”, really? Here… “Up the Academy”. Come on… He was in all those films, but many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail. Please welcome Robert Downey Jr.

on Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor and “Scientology”

– Also not nominated “I love you Philip Morris”. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor: two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay, so the complete opposite of some famous scientologist thing. Um, probably. My lawyers helped me to get away with that joke; they’re not here.

on Tom Hanks and Tim Allen:

– What can I say about our next two presenters? The first is an actor, producer, writer and director whose movies have grossed over three and a half billion dollars at the box office. He’s won two Academy Awards and three Golden Globes for his powerful and varied performances starring in such films as “Philadelphia”, “Forrest Gump”, “Cast Away”, “Apollo 13” and “Saving Private Ryan”. The other is… Tim Allen.

on The Tourist and the nominations of Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp … AND Cher

– It was a big year for 3D movies: “Toy Story”, “Despicable Me”, “Tron”. Seems like everything this year was three dimensional… except the characters in “The Tourist”. Uh, I feel bad about that joke. I… no… I’ll tell you what… I’m jumping on the bandwagon ’cause I haven’t even seen “The Tourist”. Who has? But, no… It must be good ’cause it’s nominated tonight. So shut up, ok? And I’d like to squash the ridiculous rumor going around that the only reason “The Tourist” was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press could hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason, they also accepted bribes… No. All that happened was some of them were taken to see Cher in concert, how the hell is that a bribe? Really? “You wanna go to see Cher?” “No.” “Why not?” “‘Cause it’s not 1975.

on Robert Pattinson and Olivia Wilde

– The next presenters are very young, thin and beautiful. Which is just as well because they are presenting a category no one in America cares about: Best Foreign Language Film!

on Sex and The City 2

– There were a lot of big films that didn’t get nominated this year, nothing for “Sex and the City 2”. I was sure the Golden Globe for special effects would go to the team that airbrushed that poster. Um, great job! Girls, we know how old you are: I saw one of you in an episode of “Bonanza”.

on Scarlett Johansson & Mel Gibson

Our first presenter is beautiful, talented and Jewish, apparently. Mel Gibson told me that. He’s obsessed. Please welcome Scarlett Johansson.

on Lost:

– One of the biggest events on TV this year was the finale of “Lost”. One of my favorites. And all the questions were answered… yeah. I have to say, though, It was a complicated finale. I’m not sure I totally understood it all, but from what I can work out, I’m pretty sure the fat one ate them all.

– **

Also one of my favorites, he presented Bruce Willis as Ashton Kutcher’s dad!

Must-See Pierce Brosnan Movies feat. Butterfly on a Wheel, Remember Me, Seraphim Falls & More

Posted on November 23, 2010 Written by ripitup

Coupling character Steve (Jack Davenport) states in one episode that one of the things all heterosexual men in common is that their favorite Bond is Sean Connery. That might be true. But I am a girl and my favorite Bond is Pierce Brosnan. This might be due to the fact that Pierce became 007 about the same time I developed an appetite for movies, entertainment and well, good-looking men. Pierce is not only my favorite Bond but also one of my favorite actors. And while I appreciate everything Ian Flemming and Hollywood have done for us, I’ll exclude the Bond films from this list. Because yes, Pierce has made even more entertaining, intriguing and/or challenging films.

After the Sunset starring Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and Woody Harrelson

This is one great action/comedy with a touch of sexy romance co-starring the ever-gorgeous Salma Hayek. Here, Brosnan plays a middle-aged thief who has promised his younger and hot girlfriend and partner in crime Salma Hayek that this would be their final heist. But agent Woody Harrelson is dying to catch him. He tracks them to their tropical island and tries to collaborate with beautiful local female cop. Does he have what it takes to catch Max? Or will Max try to pull his biggest heist ever, while trying not to lose the love of his life in the process?

Exotic location, beautiful leads, smart plots and fun action. This movie may not be deep, but it will show you a good time if you let it.

Evelyn starring Pierce Brosnan, Julianna Margulies and Aidan Quinn

Ireland, 1950s. When out of work painter Desmonf Doyle (Pierce Brosnan) is dumped by his wife, he has to take care of his 3 children. But social norms and laws of the time don’t seem all that willing to let a broke father keep his kids. So the fight of his life starts, as he changes his life, finds work and fights against the Irish Constitution. Brosnan is terrific as the loving father, desperate to win his case. Co-starring are Julianna Margulies (as the beautiful bartender), Aidan Quinn (as his attorney).

Butterfly on a Wheel starring Gerard Butler, Pierce Brosnan and Maria Bello

Co-starring Maria Bello and Gerard Butler, this is one of my favorite movies ever. This is a great, low-budget thriller (as in decent quality and a great script that doesn’t require special effects). Abby (Maria Bello) and her husband Neil (Gerard Butler) seem like the perfect couple. He has a great job in advertising; they have a lovely daughter and a solid marriage. Or so it seems.

When a weekend requires the couple to leave their child with a babysitter, things change for the worse:

Before Abby can meet her friend and Neil can meet his boss, they are taken hostage in their car by a gun man (Pierce Brosnan) they have never seen before. They have to meet his demands or they will never see their daughter again. However, as it turns out, this man is not exactly after money. The problems in their marriage and trust issues resurface as they try to do their best with the strange and challenging requests of this man. What does he want? And why does he hate them so much?

This movie is original, smart and well-paced. The acting is top-notch as expected and it is fun watching Butler playing such a grey character. And it also has one of my favorite movie endings.

Top 5 Movie Endings feat. Se7en, Man from Earth, Butterfly on a Wheel and More

Seraphim Falls starring Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson

Seraphim Falls starring Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan.

A great western/drama/thriller where Liam Neeson has hired a bunch of men to do one thing alone: to kill his nemesis, Pierce Brosnan.

It doesn’t seem exactly right for those men to go after one man – who doesn’t strike you as a villain at all. Is this a simple fight for survival between good or evil or are things much more complicated than they seem?

Very solid and engaging. It is always a pleasure watching Neeson or Brosnan. It is definitely a fine move to put them together in a different kind of western movie.

Seraphim Falls Review

Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Lena Olin, Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper

Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper and Lena Olin. Wonderful drama/ romance.

I watched this movie after I had originally finished this post so it was added later. While the trailer was not really promising, the movie is a heart-felt and decent effort at a drama/romance that will stay with you even after the end credits roll. Sure, some hate it but trust me, it deserves a chance. Especially if you’re only familiar with Pattinson from his Twilight role.

* Ultimate fun for romantic comedy lovers: Laws of Attraction

Laws of Attraction starring Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan. A sweetheart of a romcom. Funny too.

I am not a Polanski fan and I don’t particularly enjoy Evan McGregor movies but this is one decent drama thriller. Not the most entertaining Brosnan role, but one of the most interesting plots.

If you are about to see Eclipse, and haven’t seen or read Twilight or New Moon, I wrote the ultimate background guides. It provides you all the info you need to enjoy the films more:

ECLIPSE PLOT SUMMARY AND REVIEW

Bella Swan the human (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen the vampire (Robert Pattinson) are together and still very much in love. However, they have some problems:

– After everything Bella has gone through (the dangers in Twilight and the depression in New Moon), her father Charlie (Billy Burke) is not, naturally, fond of Edward. Of course he is still clueless that he is a vampire.

– Charlie would rather have Bella spend time with his friend’s son-Bella’s best friend -Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Well, Charlie is also clueless that Jacob is a shapeshifter that can turn into a wolf. However Bella and Jacob are not exactly in good terms. After all he is in love with her and he despises Edward to the core. And Edward also hates Jacob.

– The Volturi (led by Dakota Fanning’s Jane) want Bella to turn into a vampire. Bella has been wanting this since the first movie. Edward now has no choice, but he has made one condition. She has to marry him.

– And Bella is not exactly sure how she will be explain to her parents that she will marry her boyfriend at the age of 18 and she is not even pregnant. And if she does agree to marry Edward, how will Jacob handle it?

Despite the complications, Bella won’t give up on either Jacob or Edward. She makes piece with Jacob again but Jacob still loves pissing Edward off and vice versa. He makes it clear to Bella that he won’t give up the fight for her heart. But as he finds out, she will willingly turn into a vampire and he is disgusted by the idea. Still, he says he will be fighting for her until her heart stops beating (as a human).

While Bella is caught in between the love of her life and her best friend/the second love of her life, there is another and much bigger problem. An army of newborn vampires are terrorizing Seatlle, led by a local Forks boy-turned-vampire led by Riley. As the Cullens explain, newborn vampires are at their strongest, most vicious and most uncontrollable. They are suspecting that their number one vampire enemy Victoria is behind it and they are right. As the Volturi (currently lead by Aro’s sister Jane Volturi) don’t seem to be doing anything so it is up to the Cullens to protect Bella, the town and each other. When Jacob and his friends realize how big the threat is, they decide to join on the fight. After all, as Jacob puts it, they will at least get to kill some vampires.

So it is up to Jasper Cullen (Jackson Rathbone) to train both his family and the werewolves to train against the newborns. Jasper has a history of fighting wars-both humans and creating/training newborns.

This fight will force Edward and Jacob to try to put their differences behind. But can they manage to deal with Bella’s feelings for each of them and beat a vicious army at the same time?

This movie is fun. It is at the height of mindless entertainment. It is rated a 4.6 on IMDB but if there is something about the movie I will rated below that, it is the wolves. Just like New Moon, they do look ridiculous. Yeah, wolves that big are not meant to be realistic but they should look a bit less funny.

Apart from that, this is an enjoyable experience, especially if you try and not to get tangled up in the hype of hatred. So vampires shine in the sun instead of bursting into flames? Get over that already! There are vampires who fall in love with humans and refuse to suck human blood and try to make amends for their past mistakes and sins. I’d have thought after Buffy, Moonlight and True Blood, people would get used to the idea of nice vampires. And yes, pretty vampires. If you love Dracula’s make-up, fine. Watch that. The ugly vampire faces from Buffy are so 90s and as much as I love True Blood, the teeth look ridiculous. Oh sure, the vampires in Twilight get unflattering make-up too but hey they are vampires. They do have to look at least a little off and unnatural.

Are you bothered with the almost fairy tale like romance? Fine. Don’t see the movie. Or if it makes you happy to hate it and then complain about it, sure-by all means go for it. But don’t go saying the movie has been the worst experience of your life because

a) If this movie has been the worst movie you have ever seen, you take everything far too seriously and b) you have done it to yourself.

This movie is not a horror film and it is not a thriller. It is a romance movie with vampires that happen to have some nice fighting sequences attached to it. Twilight was never meant to be scary or impressive in the horror/thriller department.

Could it be done better? Probably. But is it just alright the way it is? Yeah. It involves pretty people Not just for girls- guys are bound to find at least one of the female characters pretty. The blonde Rosalie Cullen (Nikki Reed), the adorable Alice (Ashley Greene), the fiery redhead Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) and of course the plain yet pretty brunette Kristen Stewart.

Frankly, I found this movie’s most interesting character to be Jasper. He no longer looks like Edward Scissorhands but more like a little made-up but gorgeous glam rocker. He is cool, charismatic, fun and has a better haircut. His past and his training scenes make for a nice sub-plot. And as if the girls were complaining about the lack of the pretty men, we know get another hunk in the form of Riley, played by Australian Xavier Samuel. One of my friends even complained that he should be playing Edward.

The movie also includes decent jokes and fun moments:

– Bella claims to be Switzerland.

– Edward complains about Jacob’s shirtlessness.

– Edward kisses Bella to mark his territory and Jacob hugs her tight and carries her around to mark his.

– Jacob says that he can feel Bella’s attraction towards him. Yeah, like Bella could hide it… I mean her gorgeous yet old-fashioned boyfriend is withholding sex until marriage whereas Jacob is all muscles and well, more than ready for anything physical with Bella…

– Charlie’ s awkward but hilarious conversation about protection and his reason to love Edward.

– And the best line ever:

From Jacob to Edward: I am hotter than you.

I am underlining 4 things: mindless, entertainment, eye candy, romance. Keep your expectations rational and you might have a good time. I went to see the movie with 2 friends, one female and one male. Now, the girl does like the movie. And the guy did have fun. He was busy lusting over Alice (Ashley Greene), joking about how horny vampires were (as in Riley and Victoria), what a faggot Edward was, how slutty Bella was and how she should have picked Jacob. I do agree on most accounts.

Also keep in mind the novels were written by a female by the name of Stephenie Meyer. Yes, it is after all one woman’s romantic fantasy. But then again, so fucking what?

Ratings:

10/10 for eye candy for girls

7/10 for eye candy for boys

2/10 – as for the lack of sexuality

3/10 for wolves effects, 7/10 for the rest

7/10 for all over entertainment

2/10 for the poster

9/10 for the romance.

Enjoy!
