Under Construction

"Life is so fucking good I can taste it in my spit."

With the Quantum of Solace release just a week away, I've been thinking about the movie I'm convinced got Daniel Craig the job (not even the shot, but the job itself) as James Bond, "Layer Cake," & the title of this post is one of my favorite lines in the film, which was adapted from J.J. Connely's acclaimed novel. its a phenomenal well crafted, gangster film directed by Matthew Vaughn who produced "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" & "Snatch." I watched it again recently to tie my over til next weekend, and forgot how the film is full of amazing British talent, like Michael Gambon, Kennth Cranham, Dexter Fletcher, Ben Wishaw, oh and Sienna Miller is in it too. [I actually heart Sienna, yes she's beautiful and always surrounded by scandal, but sometimes she actually acts in movies and is [retty brilliant in them, like "Interview" and "Factory Girl".]
so if you haven't seen Layer Cake and you're a fan of Daniel Craig, gangster films or great movies in general, definitely check it out. you can watch the first 7 minutes below to get a taste.

trailer trash- Twilight

so i haven't been posting as much this week, because i, like most people, was following the Election and subsequent win of President Elect Barack Obama. though the main reason to be perfectly and completely honest as to why i haven't been posting on the regular (thursday's were pre-drafted) is that i've been obsessively reading Stephanie Meyer's vampire-romance "Twilight." the series has sold over 17 million copies world wide and spawned a fan base that's reminiscent of that of Harry Potter.

coincidentally the film stars Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory in HP "Goblet of Fire," and the legitmately talented Kristin Stewart (who you may have caught in "Panic Room" when she was 11, or more recently in "Into The Wild,") as Edward Cullen the "unbelivably beautiful vampire" who falls in love the "incredibly clumsy human" Bella Swan. when i first saw the trailer for the film a few months ago, i was unimpressed and wondered "WTF is this POS." [which i might add is also how i felt the first time i saw the trailer for "The Matrix"...& ultimately ended up seeing 3 times in theaters.] but then Ms. Kelly lent me her copy of Twilight and i wasn't able to put it down to the point where i would have to remind myself to eat during my lunch break rather than just sit and read. the movie is directed by the eternally cool and incredibly talented Catherine Hardwicke, who also directed the heart-breaking and gut-wrenching drama "Thirteen" and "Lords of Dogtown." when "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" got moved from November 21st to next summer, Twilght's release was pushed forward to occupy that date and has created a frenzy and coverage like i have never seen before. i'm just hoping the film does this beloved book justice.

trailer trash - The Spirit

The Spirit [actual site] is based on Will Eisner's comic-book series of the same name. the film is co-written and directed by the genius that is Frank Miller (the guy who did Sin City,) and stars Gabriel Macht as The Spirit, a rookie cop who was murdered, and returns from the dead to protect Central City (though to be honest it's not too clear in the trailer.) oh yeah, and Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes and Samuel L. Jackson are also in the film, that has an overwhelming film noir aspect to it. it comes out Christmas Day and hopefully won't suck, because it's keeping my distracted til "Watchmen" comes out on 3.6.09.
