SAW "Give 'Til It Hurts" Blood Drive

Every year, Lionsgate gets the blood pumping for its new SAW film with the SAW "Give 'Til It Hurts" blood drive, benefiting the Red Cross. As part of that tradition, the studio produces an ad campaign starring the SAW nurse, a sexy sister of dubious mercy who wants your blood.

This years ad campaign was created by Ignition Print and was photographed by Co-President of Marketing Tim Palen... and it's the wildest yet with the SAW nurse sporting a uniform you wont see at just any old doctors office. Thats because its designed by the downtown NY fashion darlings The Blonds, the corset kings who have outfitted the likes of Beyonce, Katy Perry and Rihanna.

New Moon Movie

The movie opens in the US on November 20th.

For a great interview with the 6'7", 17 year old Taylor Lautner go here.

Ashton Kutcher's Ass!!!

From the Sword:

Ashton Kutcher has done a lot for us gays. He’s tweeted for our rights. He’s gotten his chest waxed on-camera. He’s put that freshly-waxed chest to work.

And now he’s gone even further for us — yup, he’s gotten naked. For his new film Spread with Anne Heche that opens next month, he plays, well, a hipster gigolo.

Now, the American version of the trailer is pretty tame. Sexy, sure. But does it show Ashton’s naked butt? Nope.

Fortunately, the French are a little less squeamish about showing hot boy booty, and in their version of the trailer (the movie is called Toy Boy in France) we get to see a whole lot of Ashton’s pink and surprisingly plump ass.

And, yes, I do have the nekkid screencaps. And the trailers. And an all-kinds-of-nekkid clip from the movie.

In theaters: August 14, 2009

Star Trek Rules!

Well, I decided to head over to the local multiplex this afternoon and check out the Star Trek matinee. I must say, I really enjoyed it! If you have ever watched the original Star Trek series on television and it made you smile at all, then you will probably just love this movie!



The cleverness is in the casting of each major crew member and introducing them into the life of the Enterprise. The relationship between Spock and Kirk is developed from its origin and was fascinating (picture eyebrow raise).




Eric Bana was a great choice as villain, but should have been given more screen time. There is a rumor that he has a great body, but you would never know it from this film. Wasted asset is what I say.




I will not divulge any more details as I am not interested in spoiling the movie for anyone. That is also why I hve not posted any video trailers. But here is the cast list from IDMB:

	Chris Pine	...	James T. Kirk
	Zachary Quinto	...	Spock
	Leonard Nimoy	...	Spock Prime
	Eric Bana	...	Nero
	Bruce Greenwood	...	Capt. Christopher Pike
	Karl Urban	...	Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy
	Zoe Saldana	...	Nyota Uhura
	Simon Pegg	...	Scotty
	John Cho	...	Hikaru Sulu
	Anton Yelchin	...	Pavel Chekov
	Ben Cross	...	Sarek
	Winona Ryder	...	Amanda Grayson
	Chris Hemsworth	...	George Kirk
	Jennifer Morrison	...	Winona Kirk

The film was directed by J.J. Abrams.


It was chock full of fun little informational goodies and memorable one liners. It is a must see for any bona fide Trekkie! And a pretty damn good movie to boot!

I give it:

**** of five stars.

Movie Premiere: Race to Witch Mountain

Movie Review: The Wrestler (2008)

Synopsis:

Randy 'The Ram' Robinson (Mickey Rourke), who was once a headliner, still wrestles in the independent circuit after 20 years for die hard fans in small clubs. One day, after a particularly grueling match, he suffers a heart attack after which his doctor advises him to quit wrestling and steroids for his health. He takes this advice and tries to form relationships with the aging stripper Cassidy (Marisa Tomei) that he has patronized and with his estranged daughter Stephanie Robinson (Evan Rachel Wood). He also extends his hours at a grocery store by taking on the deli counter job in addition to the stockroom hours he was already working. After a time though, he misses the life, rush, glamour, applause, and praise of wrestling and decides to go back to it. He shuns the responsibilities of relationships and work, and heads for the bright lights of the ring.



Review:

Mickey Rourke’s performance was flawless in this movie. I have seen him before in Black Orchid, Angel Heart, 9 ½ Weeks and Body Heat to name a few, so I know he is an actor of repute. But he really surprised me in this role. He was just so believable; he carried the film. The other actors were strong, but he WAS the film. I could not take my eyes off of him. Even though he played a selfish, hedonistic bastard, who couldn’t bring himself to meet his daughter, whom he had abandoned years ago for the love of wrestling, for one lousy dinner I still cared about him. Now that is acting!

I must say, that Mr. Rouke put on 30 pounds of muscle for this film and you do get to see him shoot steroids into his ass. The first time you see him lift off his shirt it is quite astounding. There are plenty of other “roidtards” to gaze at during the film, if you are into that.

Ms. Tomei is in mighty fine shape for a 44 year old woman. You get to see her in nothing but a tiny g-string and there is not an ounce of fat on her anywhere there shouldn’t be. Demi should be embarrassed the way the Ms. Tomei uses the pole (and can act!).

In all, the movie was entertaining to watch and moved along well even though I don’t care much for professional wrestling. There were some slow spots. It was directed by Darren Aronofsky. I recommend this film if you like to watch great acting and an experienced thespian make a great comeback.

I give it

**** of five stars.

Movie Review: Defiance (2008)

Synopsis:

In 1941 as WWII was ongoing, three Jewish brothers, Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig), Zus Bielski (Liev Schreiber), and Asael Bielski (Jamie Bell) hide in the Belorussian woods after their father is murdered by the local police. While there, they face all the horrible moral conflicts of war and mange to save 1200 wandering souls from the Holocaust. It was based on a true story.

Tuvia and Zus

Review:

This was a pretty typical war movie and the acting was strong. There was quite a bit of violence and bloodshed, but it was not gratuitous. After all, it was a war. The melodrama could have been cut down a bit and is most evident in the trailer, which I am not even going to post here as I find it so offensive.

Tuvia tries to convince a community to join him in the forest

However, this is a story that must be told. The heroism of the three brothers was truly unique. These are the few Jews who stood up and resisted and were willing to fight for their lives and those of their race. They formed a working community where all were participants, and outlaws were not tolerated. How they managed to survive in the forest was amazing and fascinating to watch. Tuvia was quite a leader and his brother, Zus, quite a fighter if the movie is anywhere close to the truth.

There are romantic situations, but very little skin. There is no sex. I was so disappointed.

Tuvia and Lilka Ticktin (Alexa Davalos)

Asael and Tamara Skidelsky (Jodhi May)

I highly recommend this movie if you are a Daniel Craig fan and/or need to see another Holocaust flick (bonus - in this one the Jews win!).

Movie Review: Quantum of Solace

SYNOPIS: Bond, Daniel Craig, is out for revenge of his love Vesper’s death in this outing, though he is still unsure if she was true to him. After a breathtaking car chase to Siena, he brings in Mr. White, Jesper Christensen, to an underground area beneath the Piazza del Campo on Palio di Siena. While questioning him, White indicates that there is a vast conspiracy that M, Judi Dench, and Bond know nothing about and then laughs manically. Another agent who has been with MI6 for years, Mitchell then shoots M and runs to escape into the crowd in the Piazza. White escapes.

The Piazza del Campo

After chasing Mitchell through the crowd and across rooftops,

over balconies,

down belfries, and Bond finally has to kill him in self defense. Then Bond literally follows the money to Haiti and kills a hit man and then takes a ride with his beautiful mark, Camille, Olga Kurylenko, girlfriend of the head of the Environmental Concern Domnic Greene, Mathieu Amalric. Camille is no dummy, and figures out that she was to be killed and tosses bond out of her car. He swipes a motor bike and follows her to the docks.

Camille

Commander Bond commandeers a motor bike

There, she confronts her beau, who has a meeting with exiled General Medrano, Joaquín Cosio, of Bolivia.

General Medrano, Dominic Greene and Elvis

Dominic has made a deal with the General that if he stages a coup the General will sign over a piece of useless dessert to him for mineral rights, figuring that there is oil there. Then he tosses in Camille as a parting gift. Camille seems to go willingly. But, Bond sees this and has other ideas. A spectacular boat chase ensues during which he rescues the damsel and leaves her with locals.

Commander Bond commandeers a motor boat

Commander Bond transfers a rescued damsel to a local man

Bond checks in with M, and tells her about Dominic and she calls the CIA. Agents Felix Leiter, Jeffrey Wright, and Gregg Beam, David Harbour, are sitting in a private jet saying that Dominic Greene is of no interest to them. They ring off and M tells Bond the CIA is interested. Her assistant asks how she knows and she replies that she was just forwarded to the South American Director. We then see Dominic Greene getting on the private jet with the CIA guys. Bond gives M a tail number and she orders him a private jet going to Bregenz, Austria.

The floating set for Tosca on Lake Constance

Cristiano must see this movie because he will love this part! The bad guys hold a meeting during Puccini's opera Tosca. They all get earpieces in their gift bags shaped like the letter “Q” for Quantum, the name of the evil organization. James Bond knocks out one of their men and steals his gift bag, dastardly I know, so that he can play along. He hides way up in the opera set (stage left, near one of the spotlights) so that he can watch the players and see who they are and take photographs to send live to M. Then towards the end of the meeting he cuts in and says “May I say something? You guys need to find a better place to meet.” [I disagree.] There is a shootout during the execution scene in Act III of the opera and Bond escapes, though another MI6 agent of dubious allegiance is killed.

M calls Bond back to London. When he fails to comply, she revokes his passport and credit cards. He travels by wooden boat to a hilltop villa in Italy to an old friend for help, Mathis, Giancarlo Giannini. I enjoyed seeing Giancarlo in this role. Together they travel to La Paz by Jet. Upon their arrival, they are met by Stawberry Fields, Gemma Arterton, a MI6 agent with orders to bring Bond in ASAP. But the next flight to London isn’t until the following morning. So, Bond seduces her and we get our one and only sex scene in the entire movie with extremely limited G rated nudity.

Commander Bond with MI6 Agent Fields

In a nutshell, Bond meets up with Camille again, it turns out that she wanted to have revenge on the General who killed her entire family and then burned her house down when she was a little girl and that is why she went with him on the boat. Together, they figure out what is going on, that there is no oil, but it is water that Quantum is after and save the day.

Commander Bond saves the day!

Bond moves on to Kazan, Russia where he meets his new nemesis, Yusef Kabira, Simon Kassianides, in the company of Corinne, Stana Katic, from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Corinne is wearing the same necklace that Vesper had from Yusef. Bond points that out as he presents the same necklace and asks her to leave and report herself as a leak to her department. She leaves. He turns Yusef over to MI6. As he is leaving M asks him if he killed Yusef. He answers her saying “I don’t think the dead want vengeance.”

Yusef Kabir (He is way sexier when he is not smiling)

REVIEW:

So much happened so fast in this movie that I am going to have to see it again! If you like action and exotic locations, this one is for you. Bond can still fight his way out of any situation against any number of guys and you find yourself believing it. I just want to rent it and run it in slow motion so I can watch all the moves and follow them with my eyes. I know that so much effort was put into choreographing all of it and it is lost watching it actual speed. Then of course he is a terrific method actor as well. That adds to the believability too. Though in this film, compared to the last one, he is not in love, merely brooding, so that is not as much of an acting stretch for Mr. Craig. I much prefer and enjoyed to see him in love (and way more naked). All of the actors were top notch in this film as were the sets and the stunts.

Finally we get a handsome nemesis. He is just too pretty to kill; that is my opinion on it! Who cares what the dead want! It is all about what we the living want and need. When will Bond learn that? I give it

**** of five stars.
