My question is, how do you take a Nicholas Sparks novel, add Richard Gere and Diane Lane, and have it turn out this badly. All the signs where there for a great movie, but in the end, it just fell flat. I haven’t read the book, so lets hope it was better. There was little here worth mentioning other than it was VERY formulaic for a romance-drama. So much so that you can figure out what happens without even seeing the movie. Frank Lovece from over at filmjournal.com said it best:
It’s the film of a Lifetime…cable network.
If you find you happen to watch the Lifetime channel at least a couple hours a day, you might like this film. If you are looking for something creative and/or thought provoking this is not for you. If you make your boyfriend go, try not to laugh at the parts where you are supposed to be crying. Nights of Rodanthe is currently scoring a 29% on rottentomatoes, and a paltry 5.6 on the imdb.
The last trailer from the much anticipated Twilight movie is out. Although I have never read the series of books by Stephenie Meyer, they seem to be super popular, kind of in the same way Harry Potter is, but on a smaller scale. Only knowing that is a vampire-romance-movie, the trailer looks to be semi-decent, and will probably come in as a solid PG-13 movie for the thanksgiving holiday.
Hayden has a new video up on funnyordie.com where she sarcastically throws her support behind smoking cigarettes, not wearing a seatbelt and voting for John McCain. For those that are uninitiated, Funny or Die is the website that was started by a bunch of comedians, namely Will Farrel, where you can see famous people being creative and not acting like Hollywood tools. This video is funny if you are into that sort of thing. What makes it a must watch is: First, she says she “is hot enough” to get your attention for 30 seconds. And secondly, she drops the F-bomb three times! Enjoy!
Kind of a slow posting day because we have been adding new styles to the site. We have some new prom vendors this year and will be announcing them in the coming weeks. Not much else to say other than “we are going home” cause “we are tired.” Until then…
Here are the top 5 pre-selling styles from Paris’ 2009 prom line. This is one of the lines designed by Tony Bowls, which also includes LeGala (coming soon). The line is well rounded and includes:
In our continuing coverage of the 2009 prom season, we now have a list of the Top 5 dresses from Tony Bowls Evening. Descriptions are not yet available but most of these gowns come in sizes 0-16 while supplies last. Just a tip that if you want to wear a popular style to prom, you need to order early to make sure your size and color are available before your big day!
Welcome to the first post of Whats in the Window, or WITW for short. Since the CB’s retail store is located on a pretty busy street, we ofter get compliments about how good the front windows look. So we have decided to take a picture of at least part of that front display every time it changes. All of the dresses featured on WITW are available on cbslimited.com for purchase. In future posts, we will be listing style numbers and prices so you can go directly to the product page on our site. But for now, enjoy this little preview.
This is the dress Anna Faris wore for The House Bunny premier in Madrid, Spain. Your first thought might be “ewww,” but she does wear it well, and she IS in Spain. So all-in-all, it works out.
People seem to forget that not too long ago, Angelina was a lot more fun! Her and Billy Bob Thornton were wearing each others blood in vials around their neck, she was making out with her brother on red carpets, and she loves her some tattoos. We ran across this picture from 2004 of Angie getting a Bengal tiger on her lower back and started to wonder just how many tat’s does she have? That is a tricky question! Some have been removed or covered up so it is kinda tough to tell. We did some quick research (well, we googled it), and it looks like she has 11 showing, and 6 or 7 either covered up or removed. Girl can handle her pain!
Not so sure about the timing on this one. ABC Family has ordered a pilot based on the 1999 movie. If you didn’t see the movie, it was pretty decent considering it was Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles before they were super famous. The movie itself is based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew which might make one wonder if the new series will be named 10 Things I hate About You simply to get recognition from a movie that has become popular again after Heath Ledger’s death. I guess all we can hope for is that it doesn’t suck!
Yes, it is a real and not photoshoped. But this stop light does not direct traffic. It is a piece of art from over in the UK that actually does function, but is purely for decoration. The Traffic Light Tree was built by an artist named Pierre Vivant, and is meant to be a parody of the changing road layouts in London.
