Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci in Blind Date

Check out the trailer for BLIND DATE starring Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, and directed by Stanley Tucci.

Blind Date Synopsis: Stanley Tucci returns to directing with this English-language remake of Theo Van Gogh's award winning 1996 Dutch film. BLIND DATE is the story of an estranged couple (Tucci, starring and directing, and Patricia Clarkson) who are desperately trying to reconcile after the tragic death of their daughter. Unable to face either their grief or each other, they go a series of blind dates, each placing personal ads in the paper and pretending to be strangers when they meet. They do this over and over again, playing a series of different roles, in an attempt to overcome the pain and rebuild their shattered relationship.
When controversial filmmaker Theo van Gogh was shot and killed in cold blood in 2004 by a religious fundamentalist angered over the portrayal of Islam in one of his short films, the idea to remake three of his favorite films in English, with Hollywood stars, was born. This is the second film in said trilogy, after Steve Buscemis INTERVIEW.

Blind Date will be released to theaters on September 25, 2009. Watch the trailer and check out the poster below.

JULIE & JULIA Movie Review

Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci in Julie & Julia
JULIE & JULIA (4 stars out of 5)

Over the weekend I went to see Julie & Julia with one of my girlfriends. I wasn't expecting much more than a fun and entertaining movie with a good cast, but we got so much more.

Julie & Julia follows the story of two women, Julia Child and Julie Powell, living in two different times, and the effect that cooking has on their lives.

I thought it would be easier to break this review down and look at each story separately.

Julia Child

Julia Child learned how to cook when she was 37, because she wanted to learn how to cook for her husband Paul, but also because she lived in France, loved to eat and wanted to find something to do to fill her days.

I didn't expect the movie to be as funny as it was, but I spend most of it laughing at scenes featuring the adorable Julia Child portrayed by the wonderful Meryl Streep. Speaking of Meryl Streep, it's no secret that she is one of the best actors of our time, but what I didn't expect after years of watching all her great performances was for her to surprise me by how amazing she was once more. I know that this shouldn't be news to me, but I couldn't help but being amazed at how she is able to create and become a character. She was so good that she pretty much stole the movie from all the other actors, who are all also very good in their own right, which is saying something.

I loved the trailer so much that I had to watch it a second time to take it all in. It looks like Peter Jackson did an amazing job at bringing the book to life.
